I'm using ninjutsu in Jujutsu Kaisen!

Chapter 156: Conspiracy, the Kamo Family's Reaction

Kamo Kage took a deep breath, and the katana in his hand was slowly unsheathed. The zzt sound echoed in the silent casino.

Tatsuro, watching intently, got into a stance and beckoned to him. At this moment, he hadn't attracted the system's attention, which meant his opponent's strength hadn't yet reached the level of a Grade 1 sorcerer.

Swoosh—

The blade flashed.

The sharp edge shaved off the tips of his black hair, the blade's surface reflecting the boy's surprised pupils.

"Solid sword skills!"

'Quick Draw: Bending Flash!'

The muscles in Kamo Kage's right arm, which held the sword, bulged. He forcibly reversed the direction of the swung blade. Aided by 'Crimson Scale Agitation', the blade, which was originally difficult to reverse, now changed direction in an instant.

It was as if the blade was as light as paper, swinging at will…

"..."

Tatsuro took two steps back and touched the bleeding cut on his chest, praising, "You're quite capable. You must have studied the art of the sword for many years, haven't you?"

"Go to hell!"

Kamo Kage wasn't going to waste time talking. The sword in his hand swung out quickly, aiming straight for the neck.

Swoosh—

The sound of something cutting through the air was heard. Tatsuro stepped back, moving out of the attack range. His eyes were fixed on the katana that flashed past his chin, and the cut on his chest began to heal.

That reversal had truly impressed him. After all, when learning from Maki, her style was all about wide, sweeping motions, with a feeling of 'I'll use it however I want'.

The sharp swordsmanship made it impossible for the unarmed Tatsuro to get close. He glanced at the three men standing in the distance, then turned and rushed towards them, shouting, "Let me grab a sword and then we'll fight! If we use cursed techniques, this place will be destroyed. Wait a minute!"

"Don't run!"

Kamo Kage wouldn't let him escape. After all, using this kind of technique placed a great burden on the body. Using it for a long time might even shorten his lifespan!

At this moment, he was like a pressure cooker, the blood in his body flowing rapidly. Once the pressure was released, he'd be done for. I'll kill him with one slash!

His lips parted to suck in a breath, his legs squatted down, and the blade returned to its sheath. His hands, as if red-hot, gripped the scabbard and hilt tightly. With a sudden burst of power from his legs, Kamo Kage shot forward like an arrow released from its bow, instantly arriving behind Tatsuro. The blade left its sheath, killing intent filling the air…

'Quick Draw: Slashing Steel Flash!'

"He's dead!"

Seeing that he had already struck Tatsuro's neck, Kamo Kage couldn't believe he had actually managed to kill him!

Thud!

As a thick cloud of smoke spread everywhere, a piece of wood fell to the ground. The vigilant Kamo Kage, sensing something was wrong, quickly retreated!

Looking at the wood on the ground, which had a slash mark on it, Tatsuro's voice came from within the smoke, "I just wanted to grab a sword to have a duel with you. Was that really necessary?"

'Substitution Jutsu'. A skill that was useless against the strong and even more useless against the weak. A strong opponent's wide-range attack would destroy both you and the log, making it completely useless. A weak opponent could be killed with one kick. It was only useful when playing around.

Tatsuro, now holding a katana, walked out of the smoke. He weighed it lightly a couple of times, got a feel for the weight, and then swung the blade and charged.

Scarlet cursed energy coated the blade, making it look like a demon sword. His wide, sweeping sword style and unmatched strength forcibly pushed back the middle-aged man before him.

Clang, clang, clang!

The pleasant sound of metal clashing echoed across the field. Kamo Kage, who had held the advantage, was now being thoroughly beaten. Every time he blocked an attack with his long sword, he could feel a sharp pain in the webbing of his thumb. What kind of ridiculous power gap is this!?

He couldn't swing his sword. At this moment, his blade was like a decoration. Just blocking these heavy attacks was already exhausting him. Was this the genius jujutsu sorcerer rumored in the jujutsu world?

"Keep swinging. That sharp sword technique of yours."

Tatsuro laughed. He now understood a little of how Jogo and Mahito felt when they fought him. It was a feeling of toying with them. I can kill you, but I won't use my full strength. I'll just watch you struggle like an ant.

But back then, he was a poisonous ant. If they were careless and got bitten by him, it was enough to cost them half their lives.

"Staring at me like that won't kill me, you know!"

Tatsuro swung his sword.

The two katanas collided, making a crisp "clang" sound. Then, the katana in Tatsuro's hand snapped in two.

The boy didn't care. After all, this wasn't a cursed tool, just a sword forged from refined iron. It was normal for it to break when colliding with a sturdier cursed tool.

He threw the hilt of his broken sword, reached out, and grabbed the man's sword-wielding hand. His momentum had already been crushed. In the boy's eyes, he was full of openings. His free left hand balled into a fist and swung out, a straight punch to the center, followed by a 'Konoha Great Force Whirlwind' kick.

The entire process was smooth and fluid, without any hesitation. The powerful force sent Kamo Kage flying backwards.

Thud!

The iron mesh surrounding the ring broke open another large hole. The middle-aged man lay in the middle of the ring. After spitting out the bruised blood from his chest, he gasped for breath.

So painful!

The effect of 'Crimson Scale Agitation' was forcibly terminated. His muscles ached all over, and he didn't want to move at all…

Is this the insurmountable gap between them? Perhaps only the clan head can deal with him?!

As expected of the boy who could single-handedly exorcise a special grade cursed spirit at the age of 16. His reputation was well-deserved. It was said that when he used his full strength, black cursed markings would appear on his face, his pupils would turn scarlet, and the pattern within them would resemble a withering spider lily. A giant red Tengu would also appear in the world.

But he hadn't used any of that…

"Screech…"

The iron door opened. The sound of rusting metal scraping echoed in the silent ring. Tatsuro looked at the man who was still alive on the ground and said, "I'm taking this casino of yours. No objections, right?"

"..."

"None."

Kamo Kage gave a bitter smile. He wanted to laugh out loud, but he accidentally pulled at his wound. He said with a bitter expression, "Dog-eat-dog, huh. I just couldn't eat you."

"Yeah, it's dog-eat-dog. If you're not happy about it, you can go ahead and sue me."

Tatsuro didn't care. He got up and looked around. Besides the two large holes in the iron mesh surrounding the ring, there wasn't much other damage. They could open for business as usual tomorrow.

He didn't know much about the rest. He would just have a professional come and clear the place later. He would just sit and collect the money.

However…

First, he would take a peek at what the Kamo family was planning. He had never had any intentional contact with them; they always gave him a very mysterious feeling.

His black pupils turned scarlet, and the three tomoe slowly spun. Cursed energy burst from his eyes! With just one glare, the man's pupils dimmed, and his consciousness entered a dazed state.

Done!

Tatsuro asked, "What's your name?"

"Ka... Kamo Kage."

As if it were a man's taboo, when he was made to say his name, his face contorted, as if he was very reluctant to say it. His "dead" spirit began to stir, but it was forcibly suppressed by Tatsuro again.

He asked, "Besides 'Blood Manipulation', does the Kamo family have any other bloodline cursed techniques?"

"No."

"Why?"

"They were all failures. They were thrown out."

Kamo Kage's eyes were vacant, and all the information in his mind was being poured out. His life was now in Tatsuro's hands. If he wished, he could turn the man before him into a vegetable at any time.

"Then what does the current head of the Kamo family think of the person Tatsuro?"

"Attempt to win him over and have him leave his bloodline."

"Just as I thought," Tatsuro shook his head helplessly and continued to ask, "And what are their plans?"

"I don't know. That's not something I have access to…"

Feeling that he couldn't get any more information, Tatsuro retracted his Sharingan and snapped his fingers. The exhausted Kamo Kage instantly fell into a deep sleep, also losing that part of his memory.

The arena was silent. Tatsuro got up and left the iron cage, took off his blood-soaked clothes, and walked towards the three men whose swords he had taken. Their suits looked decent enough; he would wear one for now.

After changing his clothes, Tatsuro took out his phone and reported to Kirara Hoshi that he was done, then left the scene. Kamo Kage wouldn't be able to recover without lying down for at least five hours. Although he didn't use it often, he was quite confident in his own genjutsu.

Leaving the hotel, the suit-clad Tatsuro glanced at the sky and then left.

In the dead of night.

Kirara Hoshi, having sorted out the transfer documents, saw Kamo Kage off with a smile. With Junior Luo around, handling this stuff was indeed easy. Now all she had to do was deal with the higher-ups.

The departing Kamo Kage only felt his head was groggy. He felt like he had said something he shouldn't have, but he couldn't remember what it was no matter how hard he tried.

After ordering his subordinates to go back first, his exhausted right hand took out the phone from his pocket. Although he knew he would be scolded, his opponent was Tatsuro, who could contend with a special grade cursed spirit.

He believed the family would understand him! After all, he had already done his best. He walked into a small alley, and the "beep-beep" of the phone rang through the dark alley.

"What is it, Kage? Why are you calling so late?"

An elderly voice came from the phone. Kamo Kage quickly said, "The Kuraku Hotel has been taken down by Tatsuro. He…"

Crack—

The crisp sound of something snapping echoed in the alley. The phone in Kamo Kage's hand fell to the ground.

"Kage?"

"What happened to you?"

"Answer me, Kage!"

"..."

Perhaps sensing that Kage might already be dead, the call was quickly hung up. The pitch-black alley was now illuminated by the faint light of the phone screen. Kamo Kage was still standing there, only his head was now twisted 180 degrees, his surprised pupils unable to close for a long time.

Next to Kage's body stood a shirtless man wearing a black apron. The bald man looked at Kage's terrified and desperate face and said with satisfaction, "He makes a pretty good clothes rack."

He then looked towards the depths of the alley and asked, "The man has been killed as you instructed. When are you taking me to kill Gojo Satoru? I want to use him as a clothes rack."

"I know, don't be in such a hurry."

A smiling Suguru Geto walked out from the darkness, picked up the phone from the ground, and said, "I'll take you to see Gojo Satoru soon. Haste makes waste, doesn't it? It would be nice to make him a clothes rack too. After all, he's a Grade 2 sorcerer."

"Oh! Grade 2, huh?!"

The man's interest was suddenly piqued. He picked up Kage's body and said, "I have to get back quickly then. Remember to notify me when you go to kill Gojo Satoru."

"Yes, no problem."

Suguru Geto watched the man leave, put the phone in his pocket, and said, "Let the Kamo family deal with that brat for a while first. Otherwise, the plan to retrieve the fingers won't be so simple."

"I've brought you this brainless guy. Shouldn't we start our cooperation now, Brain Flower?"

"I hope you can call me Geto, or Suguru Geto."

Faced with the sudden gentle voice, Suguru Geto looked over with a smile.

Outside the alley.

A child wearing a kasaya and with a bob cut walked over, looking no older than fifteen.

"Alright, Geto."

The boy asked, "Cooperation?"

"Of course, we can. After all, our goals are more or less the same. It's just that on the day we invade Jujutsu High and retrieve Sukuna's fingers, I'll need to trouble you with one thing," Geto said with a smile.

"Okay, sure. Don't make me wait too long." The boy nodded and turned to leave.

"Of course. After all, we've both been waiting for a long time."

Watching the boy leave, Geto also set off. He needed to add more fuel to the fire, to make the conservative faction's stronghold, the Kamo family, and that brat Tatsuro completely tear each other apart.

A Grade 2 sorcerer was a heavy loss for any of the three great families. If another one died…

It should be very interesting…

The Kamo Estate.

In the silent courtyard, the neat stone-paved paths were illuminated by candlelight. From time to time, a guard patrol with katanas would pass by. They looked straight ahead, silent, moving without a sound…

"Tatsuro…"

In the main hall of the main house, two men were kneeling, their faces grim.

"What do you say, Clan Head? Kage's cursed energy talisman has already burned out. Should we send someone to assassinate this Tatsuro, or what?" the bearded man asked the man entering old age who was sitting in the clan head's seat, as if waiting for his command.

"Clan Head, my suggestion is to kill him to avoid future trouble," the other person suggested.

"Hmm…"

The man in the clan head's seat closed his eyes in thought. Although his figure still looked to be in his prime, his hair was already frosty white. It was believed that in less than five years, his muscles would also begin to atrophy.

His furrowed brows seemed to be contemplating many things, with many concerns. He knew about the matter of the Zenin family being flattened by Tatsuro. Although there were many factors involved, even Zenin Naobito, known as the fastest under Gojo, had lost. He wouldn't be able to win either if he went up against him.

But if he remained silent, how could they call themselves one of the three great families in the future?

He said, "Dog-eat-dog. Anonymously post a bounty on the dark web. One billion yen. Let the whole world see it. I don't believe we can't play him to death."

"Yes!"

Receiving the clan head's command, the two quickly withdrew to begin preparations for this matter.

Seeing the two leave, the Kamo clan head's headache returned. The family had lost a Grade 2 sorcerer, which was a major event. It was extremely difficult to cultivate a Grade 2 sorcerer. Not to mention the resources and time for cultivation, just giving birth to a child with 'Blood Manipulation' was very difficult.

But there was no evidence that he was the killer. Reporting it to the jujutsu higher-ups would not lead to an easy decision.

Wait…

That brat seems to be a thorn in their side as well. Why not arrange a mission to send him abroad?

He would discuss it with the others when he had time, to see if they could get rid of this annoying Tatsuro by sending him abroad to fend for himself.

His growth rate was too fast. He already had the feeling of a second Gojo Satoru. First, let's see if those curse users can kill him.
