Chapter 92 - New and Stronger

[Third Person's PoV]

Ash and Maki made their way to school hand in hand, with Maki looking completely satisfied after their personal exercise.

And as they started walking up the stairs they found Gojo standing there with his arms crossed with a smirk waiting for them.

When Ash saw him he let out a groan which just made Gojo chuckled "It's nice to see you as well Ash"

Ash turned towards Maki and said "Why don't you go ahead and wait for me with everyone else."

Maki rolled her eyes and said "Fine but don't stay too long"

Ash nodded to which Maki nodded back and went ahead. When Gojo saw Maki disappear into the distance he turned towards Ash and his previous relaxed expression went away.

"Why did you do it, why did you kill them."

Ash raised a brow at that "Why does it matter, aren't you glad they're dead?"

Gojo nodded his head "I am glad they're dead, you're not wrong. But they still had their uses and I just want to know to why you decided to kill them"

"Wait, who are we talking about here? The Zenin Clan or the Elders?"

"The Zenin Clan obviously? Why would I care if those foggies die in some ditch somewhere."

"Ah I see I thought you were talking about the Elders" Ash said with a look of realization.

"As for my reason for killing off the Zenin Clan is simple really, they put a hit on Me and planned to capture both Mai and Maki so they could be put to "Breeding"" Ash said with an angered expression towards the end.

"Ah, I see. That makes sense then, you wouldn't have massacred them if it wasn't something close to that, so I was really curious, sorry about that" Gojo said, reverting back into his cheerful personality.

Gojo then sighed "But it is still going to be difficult, one of the reasons there were three clans is to keep each other in check and stuff. Now with the Zenin Clan destroyed, it's going to be a little bit difficult"

Ash looked at Gojo with a smirk "Who said anything about the Zenin Clan being destroyed. You seem to be forgetting something, there is still Megumi"

Gojo then looked at Ash in confusion "What does Megumi have to do with this?"

Ash just smirked as said "I'm glad you ask" He then grabbed onto his necklace and said "Arnny passed me the letter"

An envelope then appeared in his hand which he handed to Gojo. Gojo tore the envelope and read the letter that was inside.

It was Naobito's Will if he were to pass. Gojo read the leader with a raised brow, after he was done reading and looked at Ash in confusion.

"I get that Megumi could become the next Clan head but here it says that for that to happen I have to be incapacitated or in a similar situation." Gojo then started looking around

"And as you can clearly see I'm perfectly fine" He finishes while waving the letter.

Ash just rolled his eyes at that, "obviously i'm just showing you the letter for the point I'm going to make.

So basically since In his will, Naobito left everything to his son Naoya and there was a clause that stated if Satoru Gojo was incapacitated for any reason then Megumi was to become the heir.

The reason for the clause is that the Ten Shadow Technique is the clans signature technique, just like how the Gojo's clan is the Limitless and the six eyes.

If the user of the Ten Shadow Technique is the head of the clan, then the Zenin Clan would be considered to have restored their glory and such.

Since there's only 2 Zenin Clan members then the oldest one would be the head of the clan which would be Maki.

When Maki becomes the head of the clan she will then reinstate Megumi back into the Clan, which she would then transfer her position as head of the clan to him. Making the Ten Shadow Technique user the head, and return a bit of the Zenin Clan prestige."

"I see…" Gojo said with a pondering expression, "But what about Maki? How does she feel about becoming the clan head just to give it away literally within minutes, isn't her reason for becoming a Jujutsu sorcerer something to do with her clan?"

Ash just casually shrugged his shoulders "Maki mostly did it to spite her family for the way they treated her. So now that they're dead she really couldn't care less."

"It's still going to be somewhat difficult though." Gojo said after thinking about it .

"It's really not, you're just over-complicating things. Megumi at the moment is a first grade sorcerer with the potential to become a special grade and equal to you in strength.

Mai still needs training to become a special grade sorcerer as well due to her Technique but what she really needs is a lot of training so it will take a while and she'll most likely be a very high first grade sorcerer.

Then there's Maki who already has the strength of a special grade sorcerer. So with Maki being part of the Zenin Clan I would most likely also be considered a part of the Zenin Clan due to not being part of any and my connection with her.

Thanks to that it would look like the Zenin Clan has a total of 4 special grade sorcerers, which would put the other clans in check just like how it was before.

Ah, let's not forget about the allies it would have which would mostly be with First class sorcerers. There's Todo who considers me his brother for some strange reason and would help out at any moment's notice.

There's Nobara who will most likely be a high first grade sorcerer with her skills and would most likely help Megumi whenever he's in trouble.

There's Yuji, Sukuna's vessel, who is loyal to his friends to an honest fault and would most likely also help him.

Then there's Toge, due to how strong he's becoming can become a clan head, and Toge would definitely help Megumi due to his nature of looking out for his friends and Juniors.

Panda is strong so there's that…

I almost forgot about Yuta, it's been a while since I saw him, but he would definitely without a doubt help Megumi if he was ever in trouble. " Ash finished with a confident smirk.

"Woah" Gojo says before softly clapping his hands "You really thought of all this"

Ash just scoffed "of course I have… damn I just realized how frightening the new Zenin clan really is"

Gojo nodded his head, which he then shook in exasperation "You're the only one I know who can destroy a whole clan and somehow make it into an unstoppable force"

Ash just puffed his chest with Pride "Thank you"

Ash then started walking and waving his hand "Well I've talked to you enough already, I'm already starting to miss Maki, so see ya later"

Gojo just chuckled before shaking his head and looking at Ash's retreating back…
