Gojo Ren stood up and dusted off his pants, ready to continue comforting Gojo Satoru, when a trace of amusement appeared on his face.
"Satoru, it seems someone is really cooperating with you!"
"It's your time to shine."
Gojo Satoru and Gojo Ren glanced at each other, understanding that they had detected the Jujutsu master hidden in the distance.
"Well, Ren, it seems you haven't given up on developing your Six Eyes!"
"Same to you, same to you!"
Realizing an attack was imminent, Gojo Satoru's excitement only grew.
Today, he intended to show off the limitless techniques he had mastered in front of Gojo Ren.
He wanted to use this impressive display to ignite Gojo Ren's fighting spirit and motivate him to become a Jujutsu master, preventing him from feeling like a failure.
Gojo Ren understood what Gojo Satoru was thinking but couldn't say it outright. He could only stand silently by his side, waiting for his brother's performance.
…
In the distance, a middle-aged Jujutsu master stared sharply at Gojo Satoru and Gojo Ren. He hadn't expected to spot his bounty targets while merely scouting near the Gojo family mansion.
What made Arai Haruki even more excited was that the two Six Eyes from the Gojo family had wandered off with no one accompanying them.
With the strength of a second-level Jujutsu master, he was confident in his abilities. Given enough preparation time, he believed he could kill Gojo Satoru and Gojo Ren.
Haruki Arai was a rising assassin with a reputation across the dark web. He had successfully completed difficult assassination bounties multiple times, which emboldened his heart.
"By assassinating two Six Eyes, I can earn a 200 million bounty. I'll surely become an ace killer on the dark web..."
Arai Haruki contained his excitement and drew a dark purple dagger from his cloak.
"Yoru no Kesshō" was a first-level Cursed Tool dagger he had stumbled upon.
Even a slight cut from "Yoru no Kesshō" would cause the victim's blood to coagulate and die. This was the secret behind his success with many high-priced bounties.
Cursed Tool "Yoru no Kesshō," combined with his unique Jujutsu, was why Arai Haruki felt confident in completing his bounty.
[Sky Splitter] was the name of Arai Haruki's technique. Given enough preparation time, he could tear through space, inserting parts of his body into an imperceptible void, emerging at the other end of the rift.
Simply put, he could reach into the sky and wave the Cursed Tool "Yoru no Kesshō" from 500 meters away. His arm, separated from his body, would reappear behind Gojo Satoru and Gojo Ren, launching a surprise attack.
Many powerful individuals had fallen to Arai Haruki's bizarre technique, caught completely off guard.
Arai Haruki focused intensely on Gojo Satoru and Gojo Ren, as [Sky Splitter] activated.
Cursed Tool "Yoru no Kesshō" and his arm reached into the sky.
"I'll gladly take the 200 million!"
Arai Haruki grinned broadly and swung his right hand forcefully.
The arm that appeared behind Gojo Satoru and Gojo Ren, wielding "Yoru no Kesshō," swung fiercely.
However, in the next moment, Arai Haruki was shocked.
Because he saw Gojo Satoru and Gojo Ren, whom he considered prey, turn their heads to look directly at him, amusement etched on their faces.
It was as if they had known all along that he was there.
"Damn, what's happening? Even when facing death, they wear such expressions."
Despite being shocked by the Gojo brothers' expressions, Arai Haruki wasn't about to stop.
In his mind, this attack was inescapable.
However, just as Cursed Tool "Yoru no Kesshō" was about to strike, he felt a powerful repulsive force on his right arm. No matter how hard he tried, "Yoru no Kesshō" couldn't advance.
"No-lower-limit defense, activate!"
Gojo Satoru, who had observed Arai Haruki's attack preparations from the start, had already set up his limitless defense.
While blocking Cursed Tool "Yoru no Kesshō," Gojo Satoru thoughtfully explained to Gojo Ren:
"This is the no-lower-limit defense.
It's a fundamental application of Gojo's 'limitless technique.'
To put it simply, the closer any technique gets to the caster, the slower it becomes, eventually achieving a static effect, rendering the attack ineffective.
The caster's body cannot be touched."
"How about it, Ren, isn't it cool? Want to learn?"
Gojo Ren rolled his eyes and clapped perfunctorily.
"Wow, Satoru, that's really amazing!"
——[Don't I know how powerful the limitless technique is? But, unfortunately, I don't have magic power, Satoru.]
——[Luckily, I'm a time traveler, and I know the power of Heavenly Restriction. I also know how to use it in the future! If I were really your native brother, I'd be so upset with you that I'd become withdrawn.]
——[Hey, Satoru, if you can't find a solution, don't make promises. Even if you'll be the strongest Jujutsu master, you can't change Heavenly Restriction...]
After mentally complaining about Gojo Satoru, Gojo Ren reached out and patted Arai Haruki's right hand that had emerged from [Sky Splitter], easily taking Cursed Tool "Yoru no Kesshō" from his grasp.
Because he had the Zanpakutō (Cursed Tool) forging technique, Gojo Ren understood the power of this Cursed Tool.
Although the forging technique hadn't been activated yet, it didn't stop him from studying Cursed Tool-related knowledge.
In the distance, Arai Haruki stared at Gojo Satoru and Gojo Ren in shock, unable to comprehend the situation.
The next moment, a middle-aged man with a bare upper body, muscles like rocks, and a hammer appeared beside Arai Haruki.
The moment Arai Haruki saw him, he felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Although the man wasn't more powerful than him, Arai Haruki had no thought of resisting.
——[If you resist, you'll die!]
This was the only thought in Arai Haruki's mind.
"Misunderstanding!"
Arai Haruki still wanted to protest.
But the middle-aged man before him wore a disdainful expression and swung his hammer down, knocking Arai Haruki unconscious.
This new hot killer on the dark web was subdued outside the Gojo mansion.
"Satoru, Ren, you two are just running around! The family head is very angry. If I hadn't sensed the spell fluctuation, I wouldn't have known you were nearby."
The middle-aged man held the hammer in his right hand and dragged Arai Haruki to Gojo Satoru and Gojo Ren with his left.
"Ren, give me that Cursed Tool. It's not something you should play with at your age."
The middle-aged man glanced at Gojo Ren and immediately distinguished between the two.
