Chapter 6: Gojo Takuya, the Motivational Master
Watching Shunichi's departing figure and feeling the stark difference in treatment, Takuya clenched the hammer in his right hand. A fleeting trace of sorrow flickered in his eyes.
As a member of the Gojo Clan, he understood that such favoritism wasn't right. But even so, he was powerless to change it.
Takuya reached out, ruffling Satoshi's white hair, his deep blue eyes meeting the boy's pale ones. His voice was solemn as he spoke:
"Satoshi, do you understand? The Gojo Clan is like a massive tree. Sorcerers are the trunk, providing strength and stability, while those of us without Jujutsu talent are merely its branches and leaves."
"Only by fulfilling our roles can the Gojo Clan continue to flourish. Cursed Energy and Techniques are determined by fate, no one can change that. From the moment you were born, this was your reality. There's no point in resenting it."
Takuya wanted to ensure Satoshi didn't develop any misguided ambitions.
Even though Satoshi possessed exceptional forging talent, in a world dominated by Jujutsu sorcerers, a Cursed Tool forger's influence was insignificant.
Despite Satoshi and Satoru both being legitimate heirs with the right to compete for the position of clan head, in the end, the one who would truly represent the Gojo Clan could only be Satoru.
Takuya needed Satoshi to recognize this reality.
The Gojo Clan sheltered its members, but in return, those members were bound to follow the clan's rules.
"I understand, Master Takuya."
