"Those eyes—"
Naruto's pupils constricted slightly as he saw Satoru Gojo's eyes, which seemed to glow with a blue light.
From Satoru Gojo's eyes, Naruto's perception seemed to see a boundless sea of stars, and his consciousness almost fell into it.
"Dangerous eyes!"
Naruto immediately withdrew his perception and then evaluated Satoru Gojo's eyes in his mind.
There's a saying in this world, "The eyes are the windows to the soul," meaning that people with strong insight can, to some extent, observe a person's inner world through their eyes; and for a Jujutsu Sorcerer, through their eyes, they can discern the opponent's technique, and even their ability.
Naruto secretly guessed that the scene he had perceived through Satoru Gojo's eyes just now might be related to his ability.
"A sea of stars, boundless—is it another space-time ability?" Naruto recalled the scene he had just glimpsed from Satoru Gojo's eyes, and then he couldn't help but secretly guess the ability of this "Strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer."
"The strongest, huh!"
Yuki Tsukumo heard Satoru Gojo's words, which were full of arrogance, and stared at his incredibly confident eyes for a while. She didn't take the bank card from his hand and then said with a smile,
"It seems you really have the strength to intimidate those old guys. It seems entrusting Naruto to you was the right choice."
Saying that, she glanced at the bank card in Satoru Gojo's hand and said,
"As for the money, forget it. That was just an excuse for me to send Naruto to Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical High School, and Naruto is not some commodity, but my important family."
Yuki Tsukumo brought Naruto back primarily to seek a way to resolve the natural growth of Cursed Energy in Naruto's body, and then to deter others from coveting Naruto. Both of these matters required Satoru Gojo's strength and influence, so she naturally couldn't accept Satoru Gojo's money.
Yuki Tsukumo had even prepared to 'sell herself' to Jujutsu High if she could find a way to help Naruto curb his Cursed Energy with Satoru Gojo's help.
Yuki Tsukumo knew full well the great price required to ask someone like Satoru Gojo for help, and the only bargaining chip she had at the moment was herself, a Special Grade Sorcerer.
"Important family?"
After Satoru Gojo heard Yuki Tsukumo's words, he immediately understood her meaning. Then his gaze shifted slightly, and he casually glanced at Naruto next to him, saying with a smile,
"Then, Senior, please explain the true situation of this 'genius' in detail, so I can decide whether to accept this 'trouble'."
As mentioned before, Satoru Gojo had no interest whatsoever in Naruto's so-called "Special Heavenly Restriction" physique. The reason he, representing Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical High School, agreed to the transaction with Yuki Tsukumo was entirely because he wanted to get information from her about her conversation with Suguru Geto back then.
Now his goal had been achieved, and Naruto's situation was clearly different from what Yuki Tsukumo had previously revealed, and it might even be much more troublesome. Although Satoru Gojo wasn't afraid of trouble, he disliked it greatly, so he planned to listen to the true situation first before deciding whether to continue the transaction.
"Naruto is not trouble, please watch your words!"
Yuki Tsukumo first seriously corrected Satoru Gojo's choice of words for Naruto, then turned to look at Naruto beside her, remained silent for a moment, and then looked back at Satoru Gojo, saying,
"Regarding the rumors circulating in the Jujutsu World that Naruto's physique belongs to a 'Special Heavenly Restriction,' you should know about this, right?"
"Of course."
Satoru Gojo smiled and nodded, glanced at Naruto, then put on his sunglasses and said,
"Heavenly Restriction is very rare, and this young man's physique has been personally recognized by Tengen as a third form of Heavenly Restriction, distinct from the known positive and negative Heavenly Restriction, which is why he receives so much attention."
The rarity of Heavenly Restriction was originally comparable to Satoru Gojo's eyes, and Naruto's 'Heavenly Restriction' was a new form that had never appeared before, so it naturally received much attention.
In fact, after news of Naruto spread in the Jujutsu World, even with the deterrence of Yuki Tsukumo, a Special Grade Sorcerer, many people had still, overtly and covertly, tried to scheme against Naruto over the past decade or so.
It was just that those guys were either discovered and dealt with by Yuki Tsukumo, or quietly handled by Naruto himself.
Although Naruto had always followed Yuki Tsukumo's instructions over the years, never touching or attempting to learn knowledge about Cursed Energy, it didn't mean he was weak.
Even Yuki Tsukumo only thought that Naruto was just a bit stronger than ordinary people, but couldn't compare to a Jujutsu Sorcerer who had mastered Cursed Energy manipulation.
The truth, however, was that Naruto's current strength could cope with most dangers in this world; he just had never shown his strength in front of others.
"Tengen—was Naruto's news really spread by that bastard?"
Yuki Tsukumo heard Satoru Gojo's words, first cursed in annoyance, then looked at Satoru Gojo and said in a deep voice,
"However, that guy Tengen's conjecture is wrong. Naruto's physique is not a third form of Heavenly Restriction distinct from the known positive and negative Heavenly Restriction, but simply a positive Heavenly Restriction. It's just that his restriction is somewhat different from the previously observed cases."
"Oh?"
Satoru Gojo heard Yuki Tsukumo's words, and his gaze beneath his sunglasses flickered slightly, seemingly beginning to show some interest. Then he asked,
"So what's the real situation?"
"It's lifespan!"
Yuki Tsukumo glanced at Naruto, then said in a heavy tone,
"Naruto's Heavenly Restriction—the price of the restriction—is not his body, but his own lifespan; Naruto's total Cursed Energy is very vast, and that vast Cursed Energy continues to grow over time, and correspondingly, the continuous growth of Cursed Energy is also constantly consuming Naruto's lifespan."
"Lifespan?"
