Chapter 52 - Chapter 52 The Jujutsu World's Higher-ups are Just Like Trash

The news of the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer Gojo Satoru's defeat, his injury, and unconsciousness, making him unable to awaken for a short time, quickly spread throughout the Jujutsu world. It was clear someone was intentionally disseminating the information.

This was naturally Kenjaku's masterpiece. For so many years, everyone had been suppressed by Gojo Satoru alone, like a Sword of Damocles, and no one dared to act rashly.

Now that Gojo Satoru was defeated and unable to act for a short time, many began to stir after learning of it.

Not only the Cursed Users, who were part of the 'villainous lineup,' but even Jujutsu Sorcerers began to harbor intentions, as, after all... there weren't many truly 'good' people among Jujutsu Sorcerers.

Among them, the most perverse, naturally, were the so-called higher-ups of the Jujutsu world, the group of old fossils Gojo Satoru hated the most.

"Gojo Satoru has been defeated; it's highly likely the opponent was Geto Suguru."

"I knew it! I said we shouldn't have trusted him. He must have released Geto Suguru years ago, which is why he refused to hand over the body to us."

The higher-ups of the Jujutsu world, the so-called old fossils, had no sense of dignity or prestige, only pure selfishness, self-interest, and arrogance, truly the biggest cancer of the Jujutsu world.

"The 'informant' arranged within Jujutsu High has confirmed that the news of Gojo Satoru's unconsciousness is true, and without help, he might not wake up."

"We still need to test the waters. We can dispatch Yuta Okkotsu to eliminate Sukuna's vessel, and while we're at it, find Yaga and force him to hand over the Cursed Corpse creation method, making him declare his stance."

Faced with such an unprecedented turn of events, they quickly made their decisions.

The exposure of the Jujutsu world was a foregone conclusion that they couldn't change. However, Gojo Satoru's defeat provided them with the perfect opportunity to seize all power for themselves, controlling the Jujutsu world while simultaneously taking control of the ordinary human world.

Eliminate Gojo Satoru's faction and purge dissidents, issue a kill order for Itadori, and then send Gakuganji to 'deal with' Masamichi Yaga.

They weren't worried about the so-called world crisis; after all, they weren't ordinary people. For Jujutsu Sorcerers, extracting Chakra was exceptionally simple: just mix life force into Cursed Energy.

Faced with global chaos, the safest course was, of course, to consolidate all power into their own hands.

Thus, such absurd, civil-war-like orders were set. However, they didn't realize that someone had already infiltrated their ranks.

"[Assessment]The higher-ups of the Jujutsu world possess no value whatsoever and only have a negative impact on the plan."

"[Conclusion]Annihilate them all. The major clans hereby declare themselves 'extinct.'"

"Who's there?!"

They had never expected an intrusion, and the guards outside made no sound, as if dead... or rather, they were dead.

They looked towards the sound, only to see a small, very unfamiliar girlish face.

How strong could someone so young be? Even a natural 'Six Eyes' like Gojo Satoru only achieved invincible power after the age of sixteen.

Unfortunately, they had no more time to think. Schwarzer hadn't allocated much computational power to this side.

What manifested was her complete lack of expression or hesitation; a violent explosion obliterated the entire building from the face of the Earth, along with all the corrupt higher-ups present within.

Having fulfilled Gojo Satoru's 'last wish,' Schwarzer departed with indifference, as if crushing an ant.

As for how much impact these deaths would have, the Culling Game was about to begin; so-called order had no meaning for now.

Her only thought regarding these parasites was: 'Killing all these guys didn't drop any Core Data?'

It could only be said that their influence on the world wasn't as significant as imagined.

...

"Uchiha Itachi, what exactly did you come to this world for?"

"..."

Meeting a member of the Uchiha clan after a long time, Obito attempted to strike up a conversation with him, but Uchiha Itachi offered no reply.

Their battle at the White House had easily taken down the so-called 'strongest,' giving him an understanding of this world's power.

It seemed he didn't even need the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to live comfortably in this world; a regular Mangekyo Sharingan was enough to crush the so-called strongest.

Schwarzer had proposed that she had a way for them to return to their original world, which moved Uchiha Itachi.

He cared about two things: Konoha and his younger brother. He had originally thought he could never return, so he had prepared to sacrifice himself to make Sasuke stronger.

But now, he found himself hesitating.

The existence of another world, coupled with an entirely new power system.

Cursed Energy had greatly helped Uchiha Sasuke; in just a few days, he had grown from barely Chunin-level strength to Jonin-level.

This meant the significance of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was not as great, as Sasuke already possessed power provided by Schwarzer.

The current difficulty, then, shifted to how to convince Sasuke to stay, rather than return to their previous world.

Regardless, the Jujutsu Kaisen world was more suitable for living than the Shinobi world, but for ninjas like them, their goals were more important than material comforts.

For example, if you asked Naruto to stay, he definitely wouldn't want to; he still wanted to go back and become Hokage.

"Thinking about your younger brother again?"

"If you truly care about him, I think you should listen to his own thoughts."

"He will only want to kill me, to kill me no matter the cost."

Uchiha Itachi was self-aware, or perhaps this was what he wanted; hatred was the best motivation for the Uchiha.

Obito didn't know how to deal with this brother-complex. He wasn't very familiar with Itachi back in the Akatsuki — actually, it was because he had just joined the organization.

"Why don't you just stay here yourself? If you're here, he definitely won't want to go back."

Uchiha Itachi naturally knew this, but now that he had found a way to return, it was still necessary for him to go back and continue his infiltration within the Akatsuki.

In other words, he wanted both: Uchiha Sasuke to stay, and for him to return.

"I have reasons why I must return."

'Isn't it just for the sake of Konoha? The Will of Fire is truly sickening.'

Obito naturally knew what he was thinking, after all, he was partly responsible for the Uchiha clan massacre, but that certainly couldn't be said.

"Then there's only one way. Hasn't Lady Schwarzer already given you an option?"

"Once the world is at peace, you can confidently allow Sasuke to stay."

"As long as your 'contributions' are sufficient, it's not impossible for the leader to refuse to take Sasuke back."

Addressing the root cause directly—only Schwarzer could take them back. Uchiha Itachi seemed somewhat tempted.

But what constituted 'contribution'? In terms of combat, there was virtually no one in this world who could rival him anymore.

"The simplest method, for example, is to help complete the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi.'"

"What is that?"

Uchiha Itachi was so easy to control that Schwarzer hadn't needed to paint any grand visions for him, so he naturally didn't know about the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"That is a grand plan that can plunge the entire world into peace..."
