jujutsu Kaisen: The Heavenly Restriction

Gojo Shunichi had undergone a complete shift in perspective.

He once believed that after witnessing Gojo Satoru's unparalleled talent in jujutsu, nothing could ever surprise him again.

No matter how gifted someone else was, they could never surpass Gojo Satoru.

But now, he realized—he had been wrong!

In terms of jujutsu talent, Gojo Satoru was undeniably the strongest. But in other areas, Gojo Kensei was just as extraordinary.

Seeing Shunichi's attitude change so drastically, even Gojo Kensei was taken aback.

He had initially thought that Shunichi would be the first major opponent he'd face within the Gojo Clan. But unexpectedly, Shunichi had chosen to admit his mistake so straightforwardly.

This left Kensei's previous assumptions completely useless.

Just as Kensei was contemplating how to deal with Shunichi, Gojo Satoru, standing beside him, spoke up:

"Shunichi, your disrespect toward Kensei has severely affected the clan's internal dynamics! I've decided to remove you from your position as Captain of the Guard."

Satoru's expression was completely cold, showing no leniency toward the man who had served as his protector for years.

Shunichi's expression stiffened, but he didn't object.

"Let's do this, Shunichi."

An elder standing nearby finally issued his judgment.

"I saw everything that happened just now. I believe your temperament still needs refinement. From now on, you will serve as a gatekeeper at the rear entrance of the Gojo estate."

This was the elder's promise to Satoru—he would ensure a decisive outcome.

"Yes, Clan Head. I accept this punishment."

Shunichi's mood sank instantly.

To outsiders, having a master swordsman serve as a mere gatekeeper for the Gojo Clan was an absurd waste of talent.

In any other family outside the Big Three, someone like him would be highly revered.

Yet Shunichi accepted the punishment without the slightest complaint.

Seeing this, Gojo Kensei's expression shifted slightly.

"Clan Head, may I make a request?"

The elder turned to Kensei, his cloudy eyes narrowing slightly as he gazed at the twin who had survived due to his decision.

"Oh? Kensei, what is it? Over the past six years, I've neglected you, which allowed people like Shunichi to mistreat you."

"If you have any request, I will grant it."

There was a look of anticipation in the elder's aged eyes. He was curious—what would Kensei, a child who had never been truly acknowledged within the clan, ask for?

From the moment Kensei was born, the elder had always felt he was destined to be someone special.

If this were any other family, Kensei might have been seen as a cursed existence.

But Kensei was born into the Gojo Clan. He possessed the divine Six Eyes.

A prodigy born with innate knowledge—it wasn't surprising at all.

— Would he choose to study the clan's secret Limitless Technique?

— Or would he request a higher position within the family?

The elder eagerly awaited Kensei's response.

But the next moment, his answer left not just the elder, but also Gojo Satoru and Gojo Takuya, utterly stunned.

"Clan Head, I want Uncle Shunichi to teach me swordsmanship!"

"…What?"

Shunichi, who had been silent, instinctively lifted his head in shock.

Did Kensei not understand his position?

Hadn't he already declared himself part of the "Twin Curse Faction"?

Even the elder voiced his doubts.

"Kensei, you realize that Shunichi represents a faction that opposes you, don't you?"

Kensei nodded and shrugged.

"Their opposition has nothing to do with me. All I want is to learn swordsmanship. And from what I know, Uncle Shunichi is one of the best swordsmen in the clan—he should be more than qualified to teach me, right?"

For Kensei, it didn't matter who his instructor was.

He simply knew that being trained by a swordmaster like Shunichi would yield better results.

At this moment, his top priorities were forging his Zanpakutō and improving his swordsmanship.

The Zanpakutō would become his ultimate trump card in the future.

Swordsmanship, on the other hand, was the key to unlocking the next stages of Hakuda, Shunpo, and Kido. Neither could be neglected.

For the foreseeable future, most of his energy would be devoted to the forge.

Instead of seeking out a separate sword instructor, why not make use of the one already available?

After all, the rear entrance of the Gojo estate, where Shunichi would now serve as a gatekeeper, was close to the forge.

If Kensei could train in swordsmanship during his breaks from forging, why wouldn't he take advantage of that?

Kensei's request left the elder and Satoru deep in thought.

After exchanging a glance, the two ultimately decided to grant it.

They didn't know Kensei's true intentions, but for someone who had already forged a remarkable Cursed Tool at the age of six, this was a trivial request.

Besides, the elder assumed that since Kensei had just created Sode no Shirayuki, he was naturally interested in furthering his sword skills.

And so, the man who had once opposed Kensei—Gojo Shunichi—found himself, through a strange twist of fate, becoming Kensei's official sword instructor and unofficial sparring partner.

With the issue of Shunichi settled, the elder finally revealed the true reason for bringing Satoru here today.
