Chapter 164: Satisfy Your Curiosity
When news spread that the Zenin family had obediently handed over the Cursed Tool, many minor families were surprised.
But thinking about the extravagant envoy Lord Tengen had dispatched this time, they felt it was only natural. In this situation, what kind of family would dare resist?
Gojo Satoru, Zenin Toji, and Tsukumo Yuki.
After the previous incident involving the attack on Satoshi, the strength of these three individuals had become widely known.
One was Satoshi's brother, one was his friend, and the other his girlfriend...
The presence of these three alone seemed to declare to the Zenin family: I, Satoshi, have come to take something from you.
Putting themselves in the Zenin family's shoes, many of the other curse-wielding families couldn't help but feel they'd also be filled with resentment if they were in their place.
But considering Satoshi's connections, especially with Lord Tengen, and the fact that even the Gojo Clan could leverage such ties, it was clear that the Zenin family had no choice but to accept the loss.
This time, Lord Tengen's involvement had thoroughly tied the concept of the Cursed Tool and Zanpakutō together.
The source of forging Zanpakutō stemmed from Cursed Tools, which is why many jujutsu families still valued them. Whether or not they could ask Satoshi to help their family forge one, they at least needed to gather a few Cursed Tools to use in the meantime.
As a result, the price of Cursed Tools soared, and the blacksmiths of the Jujutsu Blacksmith Association, seeing the flood of incoming orders, were left confused.
