"I see."
After listening to Yuki Tsukumo, Satoru Gojo immediately understood what she meant, then smiled and said,
"So, you're giving this child to me not just to watch over him, but also to help resolve the issue of his Cursed Energy growth?"
"Exactly."
Yuki Tsukumo nodded, then looked at Satoru Gojo seriously and said in a deep voice,
"As long as you can help Naruto solve the problem of his Cursed Energy growth, not only will he pledge his life to you, but even my life can be 'sold' to you."
"Hahahahaha!~"
Satoru Gojo laughed when he heard Yuki Tsukumo's words, retracting the hand holding the bank card, and then said,
"Although I can afford the money, I'm really not interested in you, so I'm sorry, I don't want to buy your life!~"
Saying that, he looked at Naruto beside him again and said,
"However, I am very interested in this kid's situation, so the transaction for him continues."
As for the money, there was definitely no need to give it.
Satoru Gojo not charging Yuki Tsukumo in return was already his way of thanking her for telling him about Suguru Geto.
"Then thank yo!~"
Yuki Tsukumo also understood this, so she didn't say much and just silently noted Satoru Gojo's favor in her heart.
In fact, there was a more important reason why Yuki Tsukumo wanted to 'sell' Naruto to Satoru Gojo.
That was, Yuki Tsukumo knew very well that it wasn't just the Jujutsu World that was coveting Naruto, but also the Cursed Spirits hidden in the shadows.
She hadn't forgotten that she had snatched Naruto from a mysterious Cursed Spirit years ago, and Yuki Tsukumo was certain that the Cursed Spirit who claimed to be Naruto's 'mother' at the time had definitely not given up on the idea of taking Naruto back.
Compared to those people in the Jujutsu World, Yuki Tsukumo was more worried about the coveting of the Cursed Spirits hidden in the shadows, and if the fact that Naruto's 'birth mother' was a Cursed Spirit got out, it would definitely be more troublesome than the so-called 'third form of Heavenly Restriction, distinct from the known positive and negative Heavenly Restrictions' physique.
Even as one of the four contemporary Special Grade Sorcerers, she couldn't simultaneously shield Naruto from the dual coveting of Cursed Spirits and the Jujutsu World, and in this era, there was only one person who could simultaneously deter both Cursed Spirits and the Jujutsu World.
That was this 'Strongest of the Current Era' in front of her!
However, after Naruto quietly listened to their conversation, he directly reached out and snatched the bank card that Satoru Gojo was trying to retract, then handed it to Yuki Tsukumo and said,
"Big Sister, you take this money. He won't lose money by buying me like this."
Over the past few years, his habit of spending money had made Yuki Tsukumo quite extravagant; it was well known that once one started spending lavishly, it was impossible to become frugal again, and Naruto felt that he might not have time to earn money recently, so Satoru Gojo's money was just right to cover Yuki Tsukumo's expenses during the period he couldn't earn money.
"???"
Yuki Tsukumo was stunned by Naruto's sudden action and didn't take the bank card he offered. Instead, she looked at Naruto blankly and asked in shock,
"Naruto, you just—"
It wasn't just Yuki Tsukumo who was surprised, but also Satoru Gojo, whose bank card had been snatched.
Although his attention wasn't on Naruto just now, it would undoubtedly be a fantasy for Naruto, a 'normal person,' to snatch a bank card from his hand.
But this impossible thing actually happened right in front of him!
More importantly, he hadn't felt any Cursed Energy fluctuation from Naruto just now.
In other words, Naruto had just 'snatched' that bank card from his hand with pure physical speed. This situation made him recall a certain day eleven years ago.
It also made Satoru Gojo's gaze toward Naruto change, realizing that he might have misjudged him.
However, Satoru Gojo didn't rush to ask anything. Instead, he shook the hand that had just been holding the bank card, then looked at Naruto with interest.
Because Satoru Gojo could tell that Yuki Tsukumo also seemed unaware of Naruto's ability to snatch the bank card from his hand, and Naruto would definitely explain to Yuki Tsukumo.
"Big Sister, don't be nervous."
Naruto tucked the bank card he had snatched from Satoru Gojo into Yuki Tsukumo's hand, then explained,
"Don't worry, I haven't violated your instructions and haven't learned to use Cursed Energy. It's just that my physical fitness seems to be a little bit stronger than ordinary people."
"Ha, it should be a lot stronger, actually."
As soon as Naruto finished speaking, before Yuki Tsukumo could open her mouth, Satoru Gojo interjected,
"Your speed just now was even stronger than that of the 'Heavenly Restriction' owner who almost killed me back then."
Satoru Gojo was certain that even if Toji Fushiguro were to revive, he would absolutely not be able to snatch a bank card from his hand in that situation.
But Naruto did it!
This indicated that Naruto's physical fitness was stronger than Toji Fushiguro's back then!
However, Toji Fushiguro's Heavenly Restriction was positive; his superhuman physical fitness was obtained by completely eliminating Cursed Energy, while Yuki Tsukumo was certain that Naruto's Heavenly Restriction was positive, exchanging lifespan for an ever-increasing massive Cursed Energy.
But now, he had also displayed physical fitness comparable to, or even surpassing, Toji Fushiguro.
This made Satoru Gojo doubt Yuki Tsukumo's previous statement again. Of course, he wasn't doubting that Yuki Tsukumo was lying, but rather thought she might have misunderstood Naruto's physical condition.
Thinking this, Satoru Gojo couldn't help but look at Yuki Tsukumo with a questioning gaze.
