"What's the situation inside?"
Naobito Zenin looked at the captain of the intelligence team behind him.
"We've confirmed that there are indeed a large number of Cursed Spirits and unknown powerful individuals within the Barrier. The numbers reported in the intel, one million Cursed Spirits and ancient powerful beings resurrected through Incarnation, are basically accurate,"
The captain reported to Naobito Zenin with a grave expression.
Having worked in intelligence for years, he naturally understood what this meant.
"Good work. Prepare to retreat."
With that, Naobito Zenin took out his phone and sent a message.
The entrance to the Barrier opened.
Dhuruv and Uro Sakurako were the first to rush out of the Barrier.
Ishiryu and others followed behind them.
"Damn it, it's that brat again."
Uro Sakurako, in the sky, was the first to spot the evacuating crowd in the distance.
Eiji's figure was among them.
"Let them go."
Tamamo-no-Mae's voice came, and the pursuers stopped in their tracks.
"You're just going to let them go?"
Uro Sakurako said indignantly.
"The decisive battle is approaching. We don't need to concern ourselves with these petty thieving tricks. Guard the Barrier well, and tomorrow I will lead you to crush all enemies."
"You're going up against the entire Jujutsu World, even the entire country, by doing this. Do you really think you can win?"
Uro Sakurako looked at Tamamo-no-Mae with a serious expression.
"We will win."
Tamamo-no-Mae's face was full of confidence.
Hearing this, Uro Sakurako's expression didn't change much.
But on the faces of those behind Uro Sakurako, excitement was evident.
In the world they knew, the army of one million Cursed Spirits controlled by Tamamo-no-Mae was an unstoppable force.
...
At the same time, at Jujutsu Headquarters.
"We've just received word from the head of the Zenin Family. Dongfang Eiji's submitted report is accurate."
The meeting fell into a brief silence.
This was the situation they least wanted to see.
"How much force can we mobilize right now?"
A voice broke the silence.
"Latest report indicates we can gather about a thousand Jujutsu Sorcerers in a short period, but most of them are weaker Grade 3 Jujutsu Sorcerers and Assistant Supervisors..."
"Don't worry about that. There are also a large number of Grade 4 and Grade 3 Cursed Spirits among the Cursed Spirits. How long will it take for them to be in position?"
"According to current estimates, they can all be assembled within 20 hours at the earliest."
"20 hours is too slow. Have the ordinary world cooperate with us. This is a matter of their survival as well. Have them mobilize helicopters, planes, and other transport to escort us and establish a defense line in Sendai as quickly as possible."
"Understood."
Everyone agreed.
This also showed how seriously Jujutsu Headquarters was taking this matter.
After all, this was something that could threaten their positions if mishandled.
When it came to protecting their own rights, they would naturally deal with it with all their might.
"What about Tamamo-no-Mae and the other six Special Grade enemies? We can only dispatch four Special Grades here, putting us at a disadvantage in numbers."
"There's no need to worry about that."
An elder representing the Gojo Family spoke confidently.
"There are differences even among Special Grades. How could ordinary Special Grades be a match for the Six Eyes user?"
The confidence in the elder's tone infected many.
"Indeed, there's no need to worry. After all, the Divine Child of the Ten Shadows Technique exorcised the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Kuromushi under the siege of five Special Grades and still managed to escape unharmed."
The Zenin Family representative retorted, unwilling to be outdone.
"Heh, that's hard to say. The cause of this disaster might just be..."
An elder representing the Kamo Family said sarcastically.
Everyone understood what he meant.
There has always been a saying in the Jujutsu World.
Satoru Gojo's birth upset the world's balance, ultimately leading to the current increase in curse strength.
In recent years, another person, Eiji, has appeared who can rival Satoru Gojo.
The elder from the Kamo Family was implying that this disaster was caused by the two of them disrupting the original balance.
This is why Tamamo-no-Mae was revived and millions of cursed spirits appeared.
Everyone ignored his words.
"Everyone, please don't worry. This battle will surely be a victory for the Jujutsu World."
"Oh? On what grounds do you say that?"
"Heh heh, have you forgotten the light from two years ago?"
Excalibur?
A Special Grade Imaginary Heroic Spirit.
"So, the Special Grades we can deploy are not just 4, but 7."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting eased considerably.
The meeting soon concluded, and with the Jujutsu Headquarters' summons, the jujutsu sorcerer forces of the entire island nation rushed towards Sendai.
After the meeting, the sarcastic elder from the Kamo Family sighed, his expression full of disappointment.
In the intelligence report sent back by the intelligence team, the Great Tengu was confirmed to be a Special Grade Imaginary Vengeful Spirit.
It was a Special Grade Cursed Spirit born from people's fear of the yokai Great Tengu.
Not their ancestor from the Kamo Family, as they had initially believed.
It was one of the four great vengeful spirits of the island nation, formed after Emperor Sutoku's death.
After all, their ancestor, Emperor Sutoku, had a close relationship with Tamamo-no-Mae before his death, and after dying, he became the Special Grade Over-Cursed Spirit, the Great Tengu, due to his immense resentment.
Therefore, when they heard that Tamamo-no-Mae had a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, the Great Tengu, by her side, they were very excited and harbored fantasies about the Great Tengu's identity.
This was also because the jujutsu department in Hokkaido had reported the Great Tengu's escape from its seal too vaguely, in an attempt to cover up their dereliction of duty.
Coupled with the Tamamo-no-Mae incident erupting.
Jujutsu Headquarters had no time to investigate Hokkaido, which led to this misunderstanding.
The Kamo Family, the earliest to gain fame among the Three Great Families, was also the latest to fully mature.
The earliest was because the Kamo Family was once a branch of the imperial lineage.
The latest was because their cursed technique originated from Emperor Sutoku, and Emperor Sutoku was the last of the four great vengeful spirits to appear.
Emperor Sutoku was a descendant of Emperor Toba and lived in the same era as Tamamo-no-Mae.
Facing Empress Fujiwara's relentless pressure, Tamamo-no-Mae, lacking sufficient influence in the court, chose to drag this prince, the future Emperor Sutoku, down with her.
This was also a crucial reason why Tamamo-no-Mae could contend with the Empress for so long.
However, Tamamo-no-Mae lost, and she also implicated Emperor Sutoku, laying the groundwork for Emperor Sutoku's future exile and bitter end.
Yet, despite being a loser in political struggles, no one dared to underestimate Emperor Sutoku.
After all, the Special Grade Over-Cursed Spirit, the Great Tengu, that he transformed into after his death had terrified people for centuries.
It was a pity that this powerful being had no relation to the Kamo Family, because this Great Tengu that appeared was not their ancestor.
Thinking of this, the Kamo Family felt even more bitter.
Now, the Gojo Family had the Six Eyes, and the Zenin Family had the Ten Shadows Technique.
What did the Kamo Family have?
The Kamo Family only had inexplicable blame falling upon them.
Kenjaku: Isn't it right for the juniors to help me carry this burden?
Therefore, they truly hoped that Emperor Sutoku would appear and lend them some support.
Even if it couldn't defeat the two monsters, the Six Eyes and the Ten Shadows Technique, it was still a top-tier Special Grade, one of the Four Great Vengeful Spirits whose fame in history was second only to the King of Curses.
As long as it existed, the Kamo Family would have an easier time.
But it wasn't.
It's bitter, the Kamo Family is bitter.
