After the Gojo Family gave birth to two pairs of "Six Eyes," the entire Jujutsu World was thrown into an uproar. This was partly because the Gojo Family had no intention of hiding their talent
—in fact, they heavily promoted it
—and partly because the existence of two pairs of Six Eyes was simply too shocking.
The Gojo Family asked, "Why should we hide our talent? We are the Gojo Family, one of the three great Jujutsu families, not some insignificant third-rate Jujutsu clan. Are we incapable of protecting two children?"
In contrast to the Gojo Family's atmosphere of universal celebration, the other two of the three great Jujutsu families
—the Zen'in and the Kamo Clan
—were steeped in a deathly silence and profound repression.
"Damn it, is this even reasonable? It's bad enough that the Six Eyes appeared in his Gojo Family, but why did two pairs appear at once this time? This has never happened before. Could it be false news... No, no, no, the Gojo Family has no reason to spread false news..."
The elderly head of the Zenin Family was already advanced in years. He had hoped the Jujutsu World would remain peaceful during his final years, only for this sudden event to occur.
The head of the Kamo Family was also not in a good state. The Kamo Family was already subtly the weakest among the three great families, and his Kamo Clan simply had no ability to stop the rise of the Gojo Family.
After grinding his teeth, he waved his hand and even issued a future family directive: "More births, more children." Since they couldn't weaken the Gojo Family, they could only try to boost their own strength, hoping their family might also produce a genius...
Following the birth of the two children bearing the Six Eyes in the Gojo Family, a high-priced bounty for their assassination appeared on the dark web of the Jujutsu World.
"Truly worthy of the legendary Six Eyes. They are just two brats, yet they each have a bounty of one hundred million. Tsk tsk tsk, it's tempting, but I wouldn't dare take it."
The astronomical bounty was, unfortunately, like a trap for high-ranking Jujutsu Sorcerers, who knew the Gojo Family's foundations and understood how difficult it would be to kill the Six Eyes while they were under the Gojo Family's protection.
Only the third-rate Jujutsu Sorcerers were greedy for this exorbitant reward, but those third-rate Jujutsu Sorcerers couldn't even break into the Gojo Family gate, let alone kill the two children.
Under the rock-solid defenses of the Gojo Family, a large number of third-rate Jujutsu Sorcerers were repelled. Gradually, fewer and fewer third-rate Jujutsu Sorcerers were interested in this high-priced bounty.
Of course, they were only fewer, not nonexistent.
Six years later.
A Jujutsu Sorcerer stood sneakily at a distant street corner, where he could just barely glimpse the entrance of the Gojo Family mansion at an angle. Although his colleagues had advised him not to attempt the bounty, the reward money was simply too tempting, and he couldn't help but want to try.
Just as he was scanning the massive Gojo Family residence, wondering where he should strike, the gates of the Gojo Family mansion opened from within, and the two targets he had been eagerly anticipating suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
Six-year-old Satoru Gojo and Chinatsu walked out from the gate, followed by a line of black-clad bodyguards who looked exactly like those standardized in films and television.
Watching this scene unfold, the dark web assassin's lips curled into an extremely excited smile.
"Heaven truly helps me! Not only will I get the bounty money, but I'll also become famous in the assassination world, maybe even earn the title of 'King of Assassins'~"
The dark web assassin suppressed the smile rising in his heart and pulled a dart from his pocket. After turning his head again to look at the group emerging from the gate, he locked the dart's target onto the female child with the Six Eyes, Chinatsu.
In this world, everyone harbors a special energy called Cursed Energy within their bodies, though the Cursed Energy in most people is relatively weak.
Corresponding to the "Cursed Energy" that everyone possesses, the talent known as "Innate Technique" is not something everyone has.
If "Cursed Energy" is likened to electricity, then a "Cursed Technique" is like an appliance that can produce various effects when electricity is poured into it.
This Jujutsu Sorcerer's Cursed Technique was called [Concealment], which allowed objects he touched to become hidden. If used directly on himself, it could achieve an invisibility effect, but the process was extremely draining and difficult.
As the assassin tightened his grip on the dart, the weapon quickly vanished from sight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Such a "Cursed Technique" was perfect for an assassin, like a fish finding water or a tiger gaining wings. It was precisely his confidence in his Cursed Technique that led him to accept this bounty mission.
His gaze was fixed tightly on Chinatsu. After silently counting down in his mind, he swiftly flung the dart toward Chinatsu with a "Swish!"
Success!
The familiar sensation transmitted from his fingertips the instant the dart left his hand made him celebrate prematurely.
Scenes of Chinatsu being headshot by his dart even flashed through his mind, and his already slightly upturned lips curved into an even wider smile.
The dart sliced through the air and rushed toward Chinatsu at an extremely high speed. Yet, just as the scene in the assassin's mind was about to materialize, the dart, which was moments away from striking Chinatsu's head, suddenly stopped. It hung suspended in mid-air, motionless.
Chinatsu slowly turned her head to look at the dart hanging in the air. As she symbolically blew a puff of air toward it, the dart fell to the ground with a "Clang!"
Limitless Defense, actively engaged!
This was the most basic application of the Gojo Family's ancestral Cursed Technique, [Limitless / Limitless Void], and was the strongest defensive ability in this world.
Simply put, this defensive ability causes anything approaching the Cursed Technique user to slow down the closer it gets, eventually reaching a state of complete stasis, thus making it impossible to ever touch the user's body.
The assassin stared blankly at his dart stopped in mid-air. He couldn't help but rub his eyes vigorously with both hands.
Just as he finished rubbing his eyes and prepared to peek over again, a burly bodyguard had already appeared right in front of him.
The assassin's eyelids twitched slightly, and under the influence of his endocrine system, large beads of sweat instantly poured down his face.
In that moment, his brain spun frantically, trying to figure out what he should say next to save his life.
"W-well... that... I was just passing by..."
Even he didn't believe the words coming out of his mouth. Under the bodyguard's gaze from behind his sunglasses, the bodyguard clenched his fist, charged up a punch, and slammed it directly into the assassin's cheek, sending him crashing to the ground like a flung rag.
Bang!
