Chapter 76, Chapter 8: Don't underestimate someone who's been a eunuch to a brain-draining plant...

While Karin Oori and Yamasuke Itadori were enjoying a heartwarming family reunion, Hisahito Itadori was actually trying to find an opportunity to ask about his parents, but he didn't know how to bring it up.

In the end, Itadori Yamasuke noticed that he seemed to have something to say, so he simply snorted and said, "Say what you want to say. What kind of behavior is this, hesitating like this?"

“Uh…” Yuji Itadori scratched his face, “Actually, there are some things I want to ask.”

Itadori Yasuke maintained his usual curt tone: "Ask away if you want to."

"Hmm..." Yuuji Itadori tried to organize his thoughts, thinking about how to ask his grandfather about this without mentioning jutsu or the jutsu world. "Well... Mom and Dad passed away when I was very young, so..."

Unable to stand his dawdling any longer, Zhi Xueya Karin loudly called out, "Dad wants to ask if Grandma has any strange sewing threads in her hair!"

Knotweed Hisahito:! ?

No, Hoshirin-chan, is it really that direct?! Is this really okay?!

Itadori Yasuke was also slightly taken aback. He glanced at his great-granddaughter, then at his grandson, and said disdainfully, "Look, even Hoshino is more decisive than you."

Upon being praised, Oriyuki Karin immediately put on a very happy and proud look, as if to say: Yes, I am very decisive!

Hisuhito Polygonum cuspidatum: "..."

Hoshirin-chan speaks quite bluntly and directly, especially when it comes to hitting people where it hurts...

Although Itadori Yasuke was old, he was still very clear-headed and maintained the mental agility he had in his youth, and quickly came to the key point.

"Did you, from the future, know the truth about some things?"

Hisahito Itadori was taken aback by what he said: ?

Karin Origami reappears, crushing this cycle's cheap father once again: "It's me! I inherited the technique that allows me to possess other people's bodies!"

"Huh!?" Yuuji Itadori was so shocked he almost jumped out of the picture frame. "No, um... Hoshirin-chan! Is this something we can just say?! The teachers said we can't tell non-magicians, right?!"

"But my great-grandfather met him."

Don't underestimate someone who was once Lu Suo's father-in-law!

Itadori Yamasuke understood: "I see, that kind of ability... is it called a technique?"

He didn't seem surprised, because he had already realized something. That person was definitely not Kaori. He had also thought about the possibility of possession, but he didn't know what such an ability should be called.

Seeing that Yuujin Itadori was still telling Karin Oriyuki not to talk nonsense, he snorted: "There's nothing I can't say. I already knew. Your teacher isn't an ordinary person, is he?"

Yuuji Itadori's eyes widened in surprise: "Huh? Grandpa, how did you know?"

"What's there to not know? He doesn't seem to be from the same world as us."

All I can say is, don't underestimate the older generation's judgment of people.

—Especially don't underestimate the person who can be Lu Suo's father-in-law.

Yamasuke Itadori realized at first glance that Satoru Gojo was no ordinary person. Considering what had happened to his daughter-in-law and his grandson's superhuman physical abilities, he probably knew that Hisahito Itadori had come into contact with another world.

As for the religious college, Itadori Yamasuke naturally didn't believe it. He only vaguely guessed from the word "religious" that it might be something like an Onmyoji (yin-yang master).

Hisahito Itadori couldn't help but scratch his hair: "Is that so? Then why did you agree to let me transfer schools, Grandpa?"

Wasabi Yasuke's answer was simple: "Didn't you already decide to go? That's your life, you decide for yourself. I'm an old man who's about to die, I can't control you for the rest of your life."

Moreover, Itadori Yasuke actually had some guesses.

At first, he couldn't understand why that guy would possess Kaori's body; there was nothing special about their house.

They waited until that guy died—well, actually, Itadori Yasusuke wasn't sure if that guy was really dead, or if he had transferred into someone else's body.

In short, even after that guy caused Kaori's "death," Itadori Yamasuke still couldn't understand the other party's purpose in doing so. It wasn't until later, as Itadori Hisahito grew up and showed some unusual traits, that Itadori Yamasuke began to have some guesses.

Itadori Yasuke wasn't sure if the guy was really dead or what. If it was the former, that would be the best outcome, but he actually felt that the possibility was not very high. It was more likely the latter, and that the guy might have possessed someone else's body now.

If that's the case, the other party went through so much trouble to give birth to his grandson, so it's unlikely that it was just a simple matter of giving birth and then it was over.

Itadori Yamasuke was also worried that something might happen, but there was nothing he could do about it. They had no contact with those special beings and had no way to guard against them.

Knowing about it would only cause trouble for one person and wouldn't serve any purpose, so Yasuke Itadori never told him about it.

Fortunately, fate has its own arrangements. Hisahito Itadori has encountered people in this field, and perhaps he will embark on a different path from ordinary people.

Itadori Yasuke wasn't sure if it was dangerous or not, but at least something had really happened, and the child had some ability to protect himself.

With this in mind, he naturally did not raise any objection to Hisahito Itadori's transfer to another school.

Now that Hisahito Itadori has come to inquire about his parents, Yamasuke Itadori isn't too surprised.

He had been thinking that he should find an opportunity to talk to him about this.

“Your mother… Kaori actually died once before she gave birth to you.” Itadori Yamasuke finally revealed this secret he had kept hidden for many years.

Hisahito Itadori's eyes widened upon hearing just that opening line.

This opening has already confirmed that what Ayaka Karin said was true.

Itadori Yamasuke continued, "But very strangely, she came back after she died. No, the one who came back at that time was no longer Kaori. If you're asking about the sewing thread, yes, there's a very obvious stitched scar on her head."

"Because Kaori was pregnant with you at the time, I didn't say anything, thinking that I would at least wait until you were born safely."

“After you were born, I reminded your father, but Ren did not listen to me.”

"Perhaps because he was unwilling to accept the fact that Kaori was dead, he completely ignored the many differences between that guy and Kaori."

As his grandfather recounted his story, Hisahito Itadori fell silent.

He had almost started to wonder if he was a child born to Lu Suo and his father.

Of course, his focus differed from Gojo Satoru's; it wasn't about whether Tosaku had had sexual relations with his father. It was simply... if he was born that way, it meant his very existence stemmed from scheming.

But the truth is, he was already in his mother's womb before that. His grandfather didn't expose Lu Suo's disguise so that he could be born, and his father even deceived himself for a time because he couldn't accept his mother's death...

Although it doesn't change the fact that he was born of Lu Suo, it's still somewhat different.

This allowed Hisahito Itadori to release the pent-up repression that had been inexplicably present in his heart.

He then turned to his father and asked, "And...where's my dad?"

Wasuke Itadori: ?

What happened to your dad?

Yuujin Itadori scratched his face: "Uh... Hoshirin-chan said that he seems to be the reincarnation of a very powerful being."

This time it was Itadori Yasuke's turn to fall silent, because he couldn't see anything special about his son.

He didn't even have the extraordinary physical abilities of Hisahito Itadori.

The old man shook his head: "I don't know about that, there's nothing special about him."

Hisahito Itadori was somewhat puzzled: "Is that so?"

Seeing that he seemed confused, Ayaka Kiri offered a conjecture: "Perhaps it's because his talent was stolen by Sukuna in his previous life? Sukuna ate him when he was still in his mother's womb, and took all of his talent for himself."

Yuuji Itadori's eyes widened like saucers: "Huh!? Inside the belly!? Does that mean it started eating people before it was even born!?"

Wow, that's fierce! No wonder he's the King of Curses...

The man standing to the side, Itadori Yasuke, had no idea what they were talking about. He was also very concerned about the origin of the guy who had possessed his daughter-in-law's body, so he asked him about it.

Originally, he thought his grandfather might not know anything about sorcerers, but now that the other party seemed to know something, Yuujin Itadori simply explained it to him in general terms.

Although Yuuji Itadori himself still only had a vague understanding, Karin Oriyuki helped him fill in the gaps. Seeing this, Yamasuke Itadori felt that Yuuji's studies at the vocational high school over the past month or two had been a complete waste.

Yamasuke Itadori: "Even a little kid like Seirin knows more than you!"

Hisuhito Polygonum cuspidatum: "..."

So... so Xingling also learned about it from him in a parallel world.

To avoid being scolded again, Hisahito Itadori ultimately didn't say those words.

——

After learning about the situation from his grandfather, Hisahito Itadori was very obedient and honest, and he took the initiative to call Satoru Gojo and tell him what had happened.

Yuji Itadori was extremely surprised that his grandfather had noticed that Gojo-sensei was extraordinary.

Gojo Satoru remained calm: "What's wrong with that? Isn't it normal for me to not look like an ordinary person? How many ordinary people have you seen who are as perfect and flawless as me?"

Karin Oriyuki, who was listening to the phone call nearby, was speechless.

Ha, really...

In terms of shamelessness, it is truly flawless and undisputed as the strongest.

Author's Note: Ugh, this backend is stuck for ages and just won't load. I have no idea what it's doing. Another day of being speechless because of GreenJiang's numerous bugs. [crying emoji]

Most of the content about Tiger Mom, Tiger Dad, and Tiger Grandpa in this chapter is my own interpretation, as the original work doesn't mention much about these aspects. Just enjoy it for fun.

I still want Tiger to be in love... (omitting a series of curses and rants about iivv)
