After Satoru Gojo heard Yuki Tsukumo's explanation, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked at Naruto with curiosity, then thought carefully for a while before speaking,
"I see. If lifespan is also considered a part of the body, then young Naruto's Heavenly Restriction can indeed be regarded as a simple positive Heavenly Restriction.
But can lifespan truly be simply considered a part of the body? Or how are you sure, Senior, that young Naruto's situation is merely a simple consumption of lifespan and an increase in Cursed Energy, and not affected by other unknown circumstances?"
Regarding Naruto's situation, the information from Tengen stated that his physique was 'a third form distinct from the known positive and negative Heavenly Restriction,' speculated to be related to the soul. However, Yuki Tsukumo said Tengen was wrong, and that Naruto's physique was merely a simple positive Heavenly Restriction, but the restricted element was not the body, but lifespan.
Regarding these two statements, from the information he currently possessed, Satoru Gojo actually leaned more towards Tengen's deduction, because compared to the soul, lifespan is, to some extent, more ethereal, and it's hard to say that lifespan has no relation to the soul.
"Of course, it's because it's already been confirmed that I say this."
Facing Satoru Gojo's question, Yuki Tsukumo's answer was very straightforward and absolutely certain.
Because to figure this out back then, she had paid an extremely heavy price, almost losing her life.
"Is that so?"
Satoru Gojo looked at her with some surprise upon hearing Yuki Tsukumo's affirmative answer, but he didn't press her for the reason why she was so certain about Naruto's situation. Instead, he showed a puzzled expression and asked,
"If that's the case, as long as Senior releases this information, coupled with your deterrence as a 'Special Grade Sorcerer,' it should dispel most people's questions about young Naruto. Why are you still so cautious, even needing to involve me?"
"Because Naruto's Cursed Energy is very vast, extremely vast!"
Yuki Tsukumo explained with a solemn expression, then said in a grave tone,
"Naruto's total Cursed Energy has been very large since he was young, and it's constantly growing every moment. Around the time he turned ten, the Cursed Energy in his body suddenly began to grow explosively.
At that time, Naruto's total Cursed Energy had already surpassed mine, and I barely managed to use sealing methods to curb the growth of Cursed Energy in his body to the lowest limit.
But not long ago, after Naruto's fifteenth birthday, the Cursed Energy in his body once again experienced explosive growth, and the magnitude of that growth easily broke through the seal I had placed on him, and it also mysteriously entered an unobservable state!"
Saying that, Yuki Tsukumo looked worriedly at Naruto beside her, and then continued,
"Five years ago, Naruto's total Cursed Energy had already surpassed mine. Although his Cursed Energy growth was later curbed to the lowest limit by my seal, the growth of Cursed Energy in his body over the past few years has certainly far exceeded the previous ten years, possibly already several times mine.
Now his Cursed Energy growth can no longer be curbed, and it has even become unobservable. I can no longer determine how vast Naruto's Cursed Energy has become."
Saying that, Yuki Tsukumo looked at Satoru Gojo with a solemn gaze and asked in a deep voice,
"What do you think those guys will do if they find out that Naruto possesses several times the total Cursed Energy of me, a Special Grade Sorcerer, and has never even been exposed to Jujutsu knowledge?"
Satoru Gojo heard Yuki Tsukumo's question, thought carefully for a moment, and then replied with a smile,
"If those guys knew about this situation, they would probably spare no effort to snatch young Naruto from your hands and train him into a 'secret weapon' capable of restraining me—after all, those guys have found me troublesome for a long time, yet they haven't had the ability to restrain me."
Back then, Toji Fushiguro, who possessed a reverse Heavenly Restriction, almost single-handedly killed the strongest combination of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto before they truly became the strongest.
Although Satoru Gojo's strength could not be compared to back then, Naruto's situation, with a little training, would definitely be stronger than Toji Fushiguro back then.
More importantly, just as Satoru Gojo himself said, the higher-ups of the Jujutsu World have been displeased with him, the uncontrollable 'strongest,' for a long time. Now that a 'secret weapon' that could potentially be trained to restrain him, or even defeat him, has appeared, those people would definitely stop at nothing to get Naruto!
As for whether Naruto is willing, the Jujutsu World has many ways to control people. If all else fails, they can even make him into a puppet, and perhaps even solve Naruto's lifespan problem along the way.
"Oh dear!~"
Thinking of this, Satoru Gojo suddenly looked at Naruto and said with a helpless expression,
"Although I don't really care, if young Naruto's situation really falls into the hands of those guys, it might truly become a trouble that even I would find troublesome. It's better for such potential trouble not to appear."
Saying that, Satoru Gojo once again handed the bank card in his hand to Yuki Tsukumo and said with a smile,
"So, let's continue our transaction, Senior!~"
The battle against Toji Fushiguro back then was Satoru Gojo's most perilous moment in his life, where he almost truly perished.
Although Satoru Gojo believed that he would never again experience such a situation as back then, he still had to consider the people around him.
In the current Jujutsu World, not to mention someone who can defeat Satoru Gojo, there isn't even anyone who can restrain him, which is why he can seemingly act without restraint, completely disregarding those higher-ups.
But if someone who could restrain Satoru Gojo appeared—they wouldn't need to be able to defeat him, just restrain him—the situation would immediately change. With Satoru Gojo's understanding of those guys, as long as they believed they had the ability to restrain him, they would definitely start constantly testing his bottom line.
Satoru Gojo, being accustomed to acting freely, naturally didn't want to see such a situation arise, so he decided to continue to "take over" Naruto.
As long as Naruto was kept under his watchful eye, there would be no need to worry about such troublesome situations arising.
"No need."
Yuki Tsukumo shook her head, once again refusing the bank card Satoru Gojo offered, and then said with a smile,
"If I just didn't want Naruto to come into contact with those people, as long as I didn't reveal his true situation and didn't let him return to Japan, with my ability, it wouldn't be a problem to simply protect him and let him live a peaceful life.
The reason I brought him back is because I can no longer curb the continuously growing Cursed Energy in his body, and the only person who might be able to help me solve this problem, besides that guy Tengen, is probably you, the 'strongest'."
Satoru Gojo is not only the 'strongest' in the contemporary Jujutsu World, but also the head of the Gojo Family, one of the three great families. With his status, if he wished, he could freely access almost all Jujutsu information in the entire Jujutsu World.
Therefore, Yuki Tsukumo believed that as long as she could get Satoru Gojo's help, she would definitely find a way to solve Naruto's Cursed Energy growth situation.
This was also one of the reasons Yuki Tsukumo sought out Satoru Gojo.
