8 Kamiki Eiji’s Purpose

As predicted by Eiji, after Naomi delivered food to his room and he finished eating, a servant informed him that the head of the family wanted to see him.

When the head of the family inquired about what caused his sudden scream of pain and fainting, Eiji decided to pretend not to know.

He couldn't possibly tell others that the world they lived in was actually just an anime.

Eiji was certain that if he said that, the head of the family would doubt his mental health and take him to a mental hospital.

Satoru was also present in the room. After all, Eiji's anomaly was due to the gift he gave him.

To prove his innocence, he asked him to wear those sunglasses again.

The head of the family opposed the suggestion, fearing a repeat of the previous incident.

Eiji was the bearer of the Six Eyes besides Satoru, and this had never happened in history. The head of the family didn't want any accidents to befall him.

However, Eiji assured them he would be fine and wore the sunglasses.

Under the watchful eyes of Satoru and the head of the family, nothing happened to Eiji.

Seeing him unharmed left the two puzzled.

The head of the family called a doctor from Tokyo Hospital to examine Eiji's condition.

After confirming that Eiji was healthy with no clinical issues, the head of the family temporarily set aside the cause of the previous incident.

Then Eiji returned to his room.

"They both don't fully believe my explanation. But since they don't force me to reveal the truth, it's not bad."

Taking off the sunglasses and placing them on the table, Eiji threw himself onto the bed.

The Six Eyes were the best eyes in the Jujutsu Kaisen world, and with Lin Fan's life experience, Eiji was more than just a 5-year-old child.

He felt that the head of the family and Satoru had seen through his lie.

Perhaps both of them were conducting their own secret investigation.

"All of this is caused by that."

Eiji glanced at the sunglasses on the table.

Lin Fan's memories were sealed by the Six Eyes to avoid burdening his still-developing brain.

The sunglasses given by Satoru had the effect of partially disabling most of the power and intensity of the Six Eyes' abilities, making the bearer of the Six Eyes less prone to fatigue.

Because Eiji wore those sunglasses, his Six Eyes weakened, causing Lin Fan's memories to break free from the seal and enter his brain.

If not for Shoko treating him with the Reverse Cursed Technique, Eiji might have suffered mental retardation.

"Behind someone's misfortune, there is wisdom to be gained. That's not a false proverb. Thanks to this misfortune, I know the future. There are still nine years before the plot begins. Until that time comes, I have to strengthen myself as much as possible. At least, equivalent to Satoru Nii-san."

Even the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer in the modern era, like Satoru, was killed by Sukuna by being cut in half at the waist.

Eiji didn't have confidence in facing an opponent that strong.

"Let's study!"

Not wanting to waste time, Eiji got up and went to the study table.

Opening a middle school-level math book, he began studying trigonometry, calculus, geometry, and algebra.

After studying for more than two hours, Eiji started feeling tired. Taking a short break, he opened the gifts from Suguru and Shoko, which were chocolate bars.

"Even the chocolate brands are the same. Why can't they just be a couple?"

Eiji wasn't surprised that both of them gave him chocolate as a gift.

Since the Six Eyes were always active, making his brain tired, he often consumed sweet food and became fond of it. Therefore, Suguru and Shoko made chocolate their choice.

"The head of the family only allows me to access the Limitless Technique after my math knowledge reaches an advanced level. Let's set a purpose, I must achieve it before turning 10."

Finishing the chocolate in his hands, Eiji continued his studies.

Chocolate contains compounds that can increase blood flow to the brain, enhance cognitive function, and reduce stress.

Eiji's study efficiency skyrocketed.

He only stopped studying at 10 PM because he felt sleepy.

"This body is still growing; I shouldn't sacrifice my health before mastering the Reverse Cursed Technique."

Dragging his tired body, Eiji immediately fell asleep after lying down on the bed.

.....

Due to the birth of Gojo Satoru causing an imbalance in the jujutsu world, Cursed Spirits became stronger than usual, and the death toll of Jujutsu Sorcerers remained high every year.

Because it became increasingly difficult for regular Jujutsu Sorcerers to eradicate Cursed Spirits, many humans died at the hands of Cursed Spirits.

On the surface, humans lived in peace, but behind that peace, Cursed Spirits threatened the lives of ordinary people.

Even so, all of this had nothing to do with Eiji.

His routine remained the same.

Study and martial arts training.

He worked even harder than before, causing Naomi to worry about his growth.

Eiji wasn't allowed to leave the Gojo Family area, at least until he mastered the Limitless Technique.

August 2006.

5:11 PM.

Sitting on one of the roofs of the Gojo Family's houses, Eiji used his Six Eyes to see several kilometers away.

With bruises on his body from training in the dojo, he watched high school students engaging in club activities after school hours.

Aside from watching anime influenced by Naomi, Eiji had a new hobby—observing the youth of ordinary students.

"I'm worried I won't be able to experience the life of ordinary high school students like them. When I turn 14, I'll be a student at Tokyo Jujutsu High."

Although Eiji didn't show any expression on his face, he actually felt envious of ordinary people.

"By the way, it's almost time. Satoru Nii-san and Suguru-san were supposed to be given a mission to escort the Star Plasma Vessel, Amanai Riko, and deliver her to Tengen-sama. Unfortunately, the mission failed."

"Zenin Toji, huh... He has a Heavenly Restriction that makes him lack Cursed Energy. However, in exchange, he's blessed with superhuman-level physical strength. My Heavenly Restriction is similar to him. Relying on his physical strength, he can even kill Satoru Nii-san and Special Grade Cursed Spirits."

"Will my physical strength match his in the future, or even surpass it? I'm looking forward to it."

Eiji knew he couldn't unleash his full potential yet. Moreover, he was only 5 years old. His body couldn't handle strength like Toji's.

As for his cousin's death?

He didn't care.

Anyway, Satoru would survive Toji's assassination, and he would grow stronger after understanding the basic principles of the Reverse Cursed Technique.

Eiji had no intention of changing the plot's progress just because he knew the future. Before he had the power to protect himself, it was better to obediently keep a low profile.

Moreover, the price of his life is quite high in the secret world of Jujutsu Sorcerers, and there are many people who want him dead.

Therefore, Eiji's main focus is to continue growing without contributing to the development of the plot.
