Heavenly Restriction User of the Gojo Clan: I Refuse to Be Cut in Half-Chapter 183: Subduing

After learning about Minazuki's treatment method, everyone at the scene fell silent.

Whether it was the support team trio or Gojo Satoru's group, all were shocked by Minazuki's healing process.

The only thing to be grateful for was that it seemed Yagyū Saemon would no longer be in any life-threatening danger.

Once Geto Suguru realized this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this mission, Yagyū Saemon had played a huge role in protecting him. Without Yagyū Saemon's efforts, perhaps Geto Suguru would not have been standing here safely now.

The whole scene became awkwardly still. Sekiguchi Seiji, Yaga Masamichi, and Yōshu did not know what to do. Should they return and report back?

It felt inappropriate, as they had no confirmed information on Yagyū Saemon's condition yet.

However, just standing there seemed even more awkward.

At that moment, Satoshi glanced at Geto Suguru and said,

"Suguru, your technique is powerful, but most of the time, you cannot control it properly."

"Isn't it disgusting to swallow a rag soaked with vomit and filth?"

Geto's body stiffened. He looked up at Satoshi, eyes wide in shock.

He was certain that he had never spoken to anyone about the feeling of swallowing a Cursed Spirit Ball. How could Satoshi know the exact sensation he felt when absorbing cursed spirits?

Even if Satoshi somehow knew the taste was bad, how could he describe it so precisely?

Most importantly, Satoshi's words matched the sensation in Geto Suguru's heart perfectly.

It was terrifying. Could it be that Satoshi could read his thoughts?

Geto subconsciously took two steps back, at a complete loss for how to respond.

Seeing Geto's reaction, Satoshi only smiled lightly and shifted his gaze toward the Rainbow Dragon lying beside him.

Although the Rainbow Dragon had been battered under Minazuki's attacks and was barely hanging on, its massive, majestic body remained impressive.

Satoshi silently approached the Rainbow Dragon, patted its huge form, and said to Geto,

"If you want to maximize the potential of your Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique, you must overcome this barrier. I know the Cursed Spirit Ball tastes vile. After all, cursed spirits are born from human negative emotions. How could they possibly taste good?"

"But are you prepared to abandon your innate technique?"

"If not,"

Satoshi slightly curled the corners of his mouth and tilted his chin at the Rainbow Dragon.

"Then I am giving you an opportunity. This is a special grade cursed spirit, the very one you sought out. What do you think? Do you want to absorb it?"

Geto's expression twisted.

He had already failed to subdue the Rainbow Dragon once, back when it had not yet evolved into a special grade. Now that it had, how could he possibly succeed?

It felt like Satoshi was mocking him.

However, Satoshi's next words completely caught him off guard.

"Suguru, if you can subdue the Rainbow Dragon, I will give you the Zanpakutō I forged for you."

"Since the Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique is your innate ability, then show me your strength."

Satoshi's words were full of temptation.

Even Satoru did not understand why Satoshi was doing this.

To ask a six-year-old Geto Suguru to subdue a special grade cursed spirit?

Satoru did not believe Geto could succeed.

His previous failure to subdue Jogo had already proven that he was not yet capable. His inability to tame the Rainbow Dragon only reinforced that fact.

However, Satoru did not know Satoshi's real intentions.

The reason Geto Suguru had walked down that dark path in the original timeline was because of the accumulated pressure of constantly absorbing cursed spirits, coupled with overwhelming negative emotions. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Now, what Satoshi was trying to do was to help Geto Suguru accept his birth technique fully, to overcome the psychological resistance to it.

If Geto could tame the Rainbow Dragon, he would have to overcome his disgust.

And once he overcame it, his strength would advance at an astonishing rate.

Because true strength always comes at a price.

You cannot become strong without sacrifice.

...

Faced with Satoshi's proposal, Sekiguchi Seiji, Yaga Masamichi, and Nishinaga Ki all turned to look at Geto Suguru.

Although they did not fully understand the details of the Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique, they knew this was a rare opportunity.

After all, Satoshi's Zanpakutō were now considered priceless treasures in the world of jujutsu. Even special grade Cursed Tools could not compare to a Zanpakutō forged by him.

No matter what, Geto should at least attempt it.

However, Yuki, Toji, and Satoru knew the situation was not that simple.

If Geto could easily subdue special grade cursed spirits, he would not have failed to tame Jogo back at the Tombs of the Star.

Compared to the Rainbow Dragon, Jogo was clearly stronger.

They all understood that subduing the Rainbow Dragon would be an enormous challenge for Geto Suguru.

At this moment, both groups were waiting for his answer.

What decision would Geto Suguru make?

"Come. What will you choose?"

Satoshi stood beside the Rainbow Dragon, smiling calmly as he gracefully extended his right hand toward Geto.

Come.

Show me your determination.

Satoshi had already anticipated Geto's answer, but he still looked forward to seeing him take that first step with his own eyes.
