"Everyone, I have an announcement. From today onwards, I am the acting head of the Zenin Clan. I've finished speaking. Who agrees, and who objects?"
As Eichi's words fell, the meeting hall immediately erupted.
"How can a brat be the family head!"
"Where is the family head? Get Naobito Zenin to come out!"
...
Eichi watched the clowns before him with amusement. They were all shouting and screaming, yet not a single one dared to lay a hand on him.
It was like a cat squatting before a mouse, watching its futile struggles.
Eichi hadn't felt such joy in a long time.
"This is the Zenin Clan. When I find the family head, we'll see how he punishes you."
After shouting for a long time, the people in the hall didn't see Naobito Zenin appear, so someone immediately tried to get up and find him.
"Trying to escape?"
Eichi smiled as he looked at the Old geezer trying to leave through the door. His eyes were full of ice.
"I'm going to..."
Pfft.
"Ah!"
Before the Old geezer at the door could finish speaking, he was suddenly cut in half at the waist.
"Ah ah! Save me!"
The Old geezer crawled on the ground in agony.
"How dare you!"
Several people in the hall instantly stood up in shock.
One must know that Eichi had only knocked people unconscious before.
He hadn't truly harmed them.
That's why they still dared to provoke Eichi here.
"Are you done? You didn't kill him, right?"
If Naoya Zenin died, Naobito Zenin would probably have second thoughts.
"Hmm, but why are you so slow?"
Toji Fushiguro's gaze swept across the hall, as if he was choosing prey.
"Happy things should be shared with friends, shouldn't they?"
Eichi spread his hands to both sides.
"That's true."
Toji Fushiguro's lips curved into a cruel smile.
"Can I start?"
With the Soul Release Blade on his shoulder, Toji Fushiguro was already impatient.
"Of course, I've been waiting for you. Leave that one to me, the rest are yours to do as you please."
Eichi pointed at Ogi Zenin.
"OK."
The next second, Toji Fushiguro charged into the crowd.
"Ah!"
Screams rose one after another.
"You, you actually dared, ah!"
An Old geezer's trembling finger pointed at Toji Fushiguro. The next second, his hand was severed by Toji Fushiguro.
"Noisy!"
Toji Fushiguro gave him a cold glance.
The desire for slaughter was surging.
Some people started to flee, some fought back.
But it was useless.
"Soon, very soon. When I find the family head, I will definitely make him punish you all severely!"
An Old geezer took advantage of Toji Fushiguro's inattention and ran to the entrance of the hall.
However, a pair of golden eyes appeared in the shadow behind him.
Pfft.
The Old geezer looked down in disbelief.
Kuro's sharp claws had already pierced his chest.
He fell one step before stepping out of the hall, falling into the shadow just an inch away from the sunlight outside.
Hoo.
The sound of burning flames appeared beside Eichi.
Ogi Zenin picked up his cursed tool katana and slashed at Eichi.
He hadn't expected Eichi to actually dare to make a move, but he knew that if he didn't kill Eichi, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"Technique Release: Scorching Brow!"
Ogi Zenin used his full power right from the start.
His goal was simple: to take advantage of the moment Eichi was distracted by the useless person at the door, and rely on a full-power sneak attack to kill Eichi.
Pfft, crackle crackle.
A large white hand reached out from Eichi's shadow, firmly grasping Ogi Zenin's katana.
The sound of flames burning flesh came.
However, there wasn't a single injury on the large hand.
Compared to Tamamo-no-Mae's flames, Ogi Zenin's flames were still too weak.
After Mahoraga loaded the adaptation to Tamamo-no-Mae's flames, Ogi Zenin's full-power attack couldn't even break through its defense.
After all, the current Mahoraga wasn't a direct blank slate fighting in automatic mode, always loading from its inventory after taking a hit.
"Ugh ah!"
Ogi Zenin struggled to pull the blade from Mahoraga's hand.
After all, most of his strength lay in his blade.
So he couldn't easily let go of the blade.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull the blade out.
Suddenly, Mahoraga let go.
Ogi Zenin, still exerting force, couldn't stop himself from taking a large step backward.
Mahoraga appeared and punched the retreating Ogi Zenin.
"Puh-ha."
Ogi Zenin spat out blood and flew backward.
Eichi thoughtfully erected a shadow wall to catch Ogi Zenin, preventing him from flying out of the hall and continuing his duel with Mahoraga.
Bang.
"Cough cough."
Ogi Zenin crashed into the shadow wall, blood gushing out as if it were free.
With a single punch from Mahoraga, Ogi Zenin immediately lost his fighting ability.
"This won't do. Mai's despair and Maki's pain cannot be repaid so easily."
The Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel rotated in the shadows.
Enka slowly emerged from the shadow wall that Ogi Zenin had just collided with.
Reverse Cursed Technique was used, and Ogi Zenin's injuries rapidly recovered.
"You, what exactly do you want to do?"
Ogi Zenin had originally thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect Eichi to save him again.
'Could it be that he just wanted to put me in my place and didn't actually intend to kill me?'
Hope of survival appeared in Ogi Zenin's heart.
"That was a sneak attack by Mahoraga, it doesn't count. Now it's a fair duel."
"What?"
Without giving Ogi Zenin a chance to speak further, Mahoraga directly attacked.
Rumble.
"Hmm?"
The ground's vibration caught Eichi's attention.
"That old man seems to be called Chojuro?"
Chojuro Zenin, a member of the Bing organization, whose Technique allowed him to control the earth, and who had once participated in the siege of Maki after her Awakening.
To be fair, he was indeed long-lived among this generation of the Zenin Clan. He was only cut down by Maki nine years later, looking that old.
"Ah, so fast."
Eichi received a request from Enka, asking whether to continue healing Ogi Zenin.
Eichi turned to look. Mahoraga had punched Ogi Zenin twice, bringing him even closer to death than before.
"I didn't see it. Heal him and start over."
"You, puh-ha."
Ogi Zenin was about to speak when a mouthful of fresh blood gushed out.
The moment his injuries were healed, Ogi Zenin turned and slashed at the wall.
Ogi Zenin's attack left a mark on the shadow wall.
Just as he was about to make a second slash, Mahoraga's attack arrived.
A large foot lifted and directly kicked Ogi Zenin into the wall.
"Hiss, he's almost mush. Mahoraga's sneak attack from behind doesn't count. Heal him and start over."
A few seconds later.
"Ogi Zenin didn't draw his blade, doesn't count. Start over."
A few seconds later.
"You, a Jujutsu Sorcerer, aren't even using your Technique? This isn't fair to you. Start over."
..."Enough, stop insulting me!"
Ogi Zenin finally couldn't take it anymore.
"You haven't recognized the sacredness of the duel. Start over."
"Ah ah ah ah!"
...An hour later, a completely broken Ogi Zenin lay on the ground, his face blank.
The Old geezers in the hall who had been cut in half at the waist by Toji Fushiguro had long since lost their lives.
"Is it over?"
Toji Fushiguro walked to Eichi's side with his hands in his pockets.
After wreaking havoc in the Zenin Clan, the den of demons that had oppressed him for over a decade, Toji Fushiguro felt immense satisfaction.
Even he, who didn't like to drink, wanted to have a couple of drinks to celebrate.
"It's over."
Eichi got up, preparing to leave.
"What about this trash?"
Toji Fushiguro looked at the debris all over the floor.
"It stinks. Since it stinks so much, throw it in the back as fertilizer."
The shadows writhed, throwing all the debris on the floor into the soil of the Zenin Clan's backyard.
The next day, Naobito Zenin announced to the outside world the news of Azuma Eichi becoming the acting head of the Zenin Clan.
On the same day, the Gojo Family also announced the news of Gojo Satoru becoming the acting head of the Gojo Family.
