jujutsu Kaisen: The Heavenly Restriction

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: The Sword Borrowing Function is On!



"Master Kensei, what is the name of this Zanpakutō?"

Gojo Shun's eyes were filled with excitement. He wanted to know if this Zanpakutō's name was still "Tōmyō."

Gojo Kensei paused for a moment before answering in a low voice:

"The Zanpakutō is called 'Seichū,' and it was forged using the properties of Tōmyō."

As he spoke, Kensei casually tossed the shallow-form Zanpakutō to Gojo Shun.

The moment Shun touched Seichū, a system prompt sounded in Kensei's mind:

[Detected that the host has lent the Zanpakutō to another person, activating the Borrowed Sword function!]

[Borrowed Sword Function 1: The Zanpakutō forged by the host belongs only to the host. When another person uses it, it is considered a loan. If the host chooses to reclaim the Zanpakutō, it will return to its shallow-form state for the host to recover.]

[Borrowed Sword Function 2: The borrower will provide the host with experience while using the Zanpakutō, serving as rental fees for borrowing the sword.]

[Borrowed Sword Function 3: The borrower must personally gain the Zanpakutō's acknowledgment to use its Shikai. When the borrower successfully achieves Bankai, the system will randomly select a skill from the borrower to grant to the host (each Zanpakutō can only extract a skill from the first borrower).]

[Borrowed Sword Function 4: The host can observe the outside world through the Zanpakutō's perspective and temporarily communicate with the borrower through the sword spirit.]

Kensei was shocked by the system's prompt.

Originally, he had thought that the system's functions had been damaged and only retained the forging and etc functions.

He never expected that after lending Seichū to Gojo Shun, the system would activate the Borrowed Sword feature.

Although Kensei had only briefly skimmed through the description, he could sense the immense power of the Borrowed Sword function.

If the Forging and Shinigami powers functions were laying the foundation for him, then the Borrowed Sword function was a way to elevate his potential to new heights.

The Borrowed Sword function clarified the ownership of the Zanpakutō, meaning that even if he forged a powerful Zanpakutō for Zenin Toji, if they ever became enemies, Kensei could use the Borrowed Sword function to strip Toji of the Zanpakutō's abilities.

Additionally, Kensei could absorb the combat experience of different borrowers through the Borrowed Sword function.

The most frightening part was that if the borrower gained the Zanpakutō's recognition and successfully achieved Bankai, Kensei could randomly extract a skill from them.

Although Kensei didn't yet know what this skill might be, the randomness of it was both intriguing and terrifying—this was essentially a blind box with unlimited potential.

If Kensei could draw "Limitless" from Gojo Satoru, it would mean he could enter the same state as Satoru!

The only downside was that each Zanpakutō could only extract one skill.

This meant that Kensei couldn't lend his Zanpakutō to multiple people, collect their skills, and then redistribute them to others.

This limitation made Kensei realize that he would have to carefully select each borrower, as lending his Zanpakutō to an ordinary person might only yield trivial skills.

However, for Kensei, the most powerful, and perhaps the most irrational, aspect of this function was that he could share his Zanpakutō's vision and even communicate with the borrower through the sword spirit.

This meant that even if he stayed home, Kensei could still experience different battles firsthand. Moreover, he could turn the Zanpakutō into a remote phone, directly contacting the borrower.

Kensei furrowed his brow. He had only rushed through a basic understanding of the functions. Once he became more familiar with them, these features might prove even more useful.

Kensei then opened his system panel.

He saw that his Zanpakutō collection now included two Zanpakutō.

[Zanpakutō: Sode no Shirayuki (Owner: Gojo Kensei) (Borrower: None)]

[Zanpakutō: Seichū (Owner: Gojo Kensei) (Borrower: Gojo Shunichi)]

Kensei instantly felt a pang of regret. However, once a borrower was chosen, it couldn't be changed.

If he switched borrowers and someone else managed to achieve Bankai with Seichū, he would lose the chance to extract a skill.

Watching Gojo Shun swing Seichū, Kensei's heart ached. Shun was only a Grade 2 Jujutsu sorcerer. Even if Shun managed to achieve Bankai, the skill he would provide would not be as high-quality as those from Zenin Toji or Gojo Satoru.

So, in this case, he was at a loss.

Kensei sighed but quickly shook his head. After all, this was his first time using this feature. He might as well let Shun experience it as a test subject.

Besides, Seichū was the Zanpakutō most suited to Gojo Shun. If given to Satoru or Toji, it wouldn't match their combat styles at all.

At least, by lending Seichū to Shun, Kensei could ensure that Shun wouldn't betray him in the future.

He decided to trade the Zanpakutō for the loyalty of a Grade 2 Jujutsu sorcerer.

Though he still felt a little reluctant, Kensei quickly suppressed his doubts.

"Did it really work, Kensei?"

Gojo Satoru's face lit up with an excited smile. He had been worried that Kensei might lose confidence after failing to forge the Zanpakutō.

Now, seeing the birth of Seichū, he could finally relax.

The creation of Seichū didn't just mean that Gojo Shun now had a mysterious Cursed Tool. It also proved that Kensei had the ability to forge Zanpakutō, a Cursed Tool that would undoubtedly change the entire Cursed Tool world.

With Sode no Shirayuki and Seichū, more Zanpakutō were sure to follow, and more mysterious techniques would emerge.

The entire Jujutsu world would be affected by the rise of Zanpakutō!

And Kensei would be the foundation of Zanpakutō, becoming one of the hottest figures in the entire Jujutsu world.

In Satoru's heart, there was no trace of jealousy. This was his younger brother, the other Six Eyes of the Gojo family. Even without cursed energy, Kensei still possessed immense power and could stand at the pinnacle of the Jujutsu world!
