December 7th, 1994 - Birthday

When Dango woke up, he immediately put Hex inside the bag and left the realm. He used transformation jutsu and disguised himself as an adult male and went to purchase supplies like toilet paper, kid clothes, toothbrushes, etc. He even got himself a big backpack!

When he was done, he returned to his normal appearance as a child and continue to pickpocket rich strangers out of boredom while he toured Tokyo. Unexpectedly, he obtained a new skill related to his theft crimes.

=====

[Basic Pickpocketing]

Description: Slightly boosts your proficiency at pickpocketing. When stealing something, your hands will become less noticeable.

To advance the skill, successfully pickpocket several individuals and sell a valuable for 5,000 ryo (~16,698 yen).

=====

'That should be easy, I think. Can I sell money?'

Dango didn't stop with his acts of thievery until his backpack felt a bit heavy. He had been walking around Tokyo for a couple of hours now and his legs were aching. He decided to look for a restaurant to eat at.

Putting on another disguise, Dango entered some random restaurant and spent quite of bit of his 'savings.' When he left, he and Hex were bloated.

'I ate too much... ugh.'

Dango released his disguise after distancing himself from the restaurant. While he continued with his tour, he was met with a strange sight. He saw a spider as large as a human child crawling on the wall of a building.

Immediately, he checked his rank-up mission progression and confirmed that the spider was a naturally formed cursed spirit. He couldn't tell what the spirit's grade was, but its presence did feel slightly stronger than Hex's.

Dango contemplated whether or not he should fight it. He reckoned the spider was a grade three spirit. He had only fought with grade four spirits that were formed inside his Cursed Dungeons.

He realized how stupid he was not carrying all of his weapons. He only had the shiny kunai cursed tool, a spare kunai, and some shurikens.

Unfortunately for him, the spider cursed spirit seemed to have sensed Hex's location and turned around, facing Dango. At the same time, Dango got a better look at the arachnid's face.

Instead of looking like a normal spider, it looked like a wrinkled humanoid. Eight human eyeballs were staring at Dango and his backpack. There was a large hole that Dango assumed was suppose to be the mouth as there was a furry limb belonging that probably belonged to some household pet.

*slurp*

The spider cursed spirit slurped the limb into its mouth like a noodle.

'I should've bought paper...' Dango thought as he slowly stepped back. The spider kept all of its eyes on Dango as if it was thinking about eating Dango and the spirit hidden inside his backpack.

When it made its decision, it realized that it couldn't find its prey. Despite having its eyes on them, they somehow disappeared. The cursed spirit let out a shrilling scream filled with anguish and anger.

On the other hand, Dango was walking very quickly while hugging his bag. He was relying on his [Intermediate Hiding] skill to escape from the spider. He kept moving even when he heard the spider's shriek, moving even faster.

In all honesty, Dango wasn't scared of the spider. He really wanted to try fighting it. But he was more worried about Hex. He didn't want something to happen to it while he was busy.

As Dango was speed-walking, a goal formed inside his head, 'I need to know if my personal dungeon can stay constructed when I am not in it. I'll be back Mr. hum-der.'

Meanwhile, there was a large celebration happening at a very, very large mansion. There were lots of visitors entering the house as they delivered boxes to the house's servants.

The mansion belonged to the Gojo Family, one of the big three sorcerer families. They were the descendants of a legendary sorcerer from the Heian Era.

The cause for this celebratory atmosphere is because today marks the fifth year since the possessor of the Six Eyes (Rikugan) was born. It was also the day that the possessor manifested their inherited technique called the Limitless.

Such an event was the reason why so many people were coming. Many individuals were either sent by their families or came of their own free will came to witness the sacred eyes and attempt to make connections with the possessor.

Inside the mansion was a young boy with white hair and dazzling bright blue eyes. He was expressionless, yet he emanated a slight sense of arrogance. If a stranger were to look at him, they would notice that he was indifferent to everything and they would possibly be reminded of a king.

The white-haired boy was making his way to the main room where the celebration was being held. He didn't really want to do this, but his family had gotten on their knees and begged him for over three weeks to attend the party.

He could hear the ruckus coming from the room. When he entered it, all the noise disappeared and there was only silence. The boy's eyes instantly scanned the room while the visitors curiously looked at him.

There was only one thought in the boy's head, 'Weak.'

If Dango was here, he would immediately recognize the boy despite not reading the manga for a long time.

The young boy was Satoru Gojo, the possessor of the Six Eyes. Today was his fifth birthday, and recently, the inherited technique of the Gojo Clan manifested within him, Limitless. In the future, he would become the strongest jujutsu sorcerer and be the teacher to several powerful students.
