Authority.

It's been a year since June was taken under the wings of the Gojo clan. The sight of Children, the same age as June, were all seated on a mat, dressed in a kimono both males and females.

June was seated in the middle of the room, his eyes roaming around the room, seemingly distracted by the elegant form of each student with white hair and grey eyes.

" June! I hope you're following today's lessons." The female teacher spoke sternly.

June's attention was caught by the lady. "Am sorry... I'm not feeling comfortable." Even with the interaction with him and the teacher, the students paid no mind to them.

"I see you've not grown accustomed to the education system of the Jujutsu world. especially that of the Gojo family."

"I guess..." June's speech trails off, as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Nevertheless, you'll have to used to it, you've been here for over a year now." She waved off his sentence as she faced the blackboard in continuation of her lesson.

...

Lessons have come to an end, Miss Shogawa, the teacher for June's class marked the test results until when she came across June's paperwork, he seemed to get every answer correct.

This intrigued Miss Shogawa as she observed the questions, questioning herself if she was wrong on the answer she came across.

Tenzo came into the empty room that was occupied by Miss Shogawa, his eyes searching for an individual.

"Am over here Tenzo." Shogawa raised her hands signifying her presence. Tenzo's eyes shifted to her, his head still in the same position as it was when he came into the room.

"Am observing... observing something."

"Seems interesting." Shogawa's eyes fell back to the paperwork on her desk. "What brings you here, Tenzo?"

"Just wanted to inform you that she's coming back today." Tenzo's voice echoed as he rested on the door frame.

"Who may that be? Do you mean... Kaori? I thought she went to America for some exposure, or so she calls it." Shogawa asked curiosity dripping in her voice.

" Yeah, Kaori is coming back... You know the way she is. She might prove to be a thorn by my side."

"I highly doubt that. Kaori does not particularly meddle in the affairs of the clan, so rest easy." Reassuringly, Shogawa lifted her head to meet Tenzo's gaze.

"Even if she does, am always by your side Tenzo."

Tenzo, a look of boredom grazing his face releases a sigh.

"I appreciate your sentiment Shogawa, soon I will have full control over this clan. Satoru isn't showing any interest in taking this position, that 16-year-old brat... besides Tachibana is dead, which means that old woman's binding vow is ineffective."

Shogawa's facial expression changed, to that of wonder and curiosity. "Why do you strive to be the leader of the Gojo clan?, Tenzo."

"Well, that... My goal is to bring back and stamp the name of the Gojo clan, bringing its members to the spotlight, right now only Satoru is taking up that task. In doing so, we will show the world of Jujutsu why we're the strongest family out of the big three."

Shogawa's face is still curious. "Quite an ambitious goal... should I even call it ambitious? Cause the Gojo family are already recognized as the strongest."

"Although you're not wrong, the Gojo clan has become a bit weaker. We're defined by the six eyes, which only Satoru is the wielder. For a thousand years, one individual and only one can manifest the six eyes."

Shogawa's eyes met with those of Tenzo. "So to solidify our spot in the big three, we train the young ones, the youth. Honing our skills is the best option... But the elders are too lenient, it disgusts me."

"I see..." Shogawa spoke in uncertainty.

"By the way, get ready for her arrival," Tenzo said in a tone of a reminder, as he walked out of the once-filled classroom.

June stood in the large compound, all members of the Gojo clan were present as the pink petals gently landed on the ground, June became more anxious.

One thing is for sure, the Gojo clan is very arrogant and full of pride, and seeing them waiting for the arrival of an individual is very intriguing.

From what June knew, this mysterious visitor was a woman. He was standing on his skinny legs, his eight-year-old body covered in a white kimono.

In a short period, a black car can be seen arriving, its tires skidding along the ground. Coming to a stop at the front of the clansmen, 'click' The door handle sounded, springing the attention of June, as he looked at the figure coming out of the car in an inquisitive look.

"It's been a long time don't you think Granny?"

A lady with white hair and brilliant blue eyes engraved an alluring mystery, dressed in a black suit and an expensive wristwatch on her slender wrist.

She kept a small smile on her face, while her eyes scanned through everyone's faces, She walked up to the elders to give them a greeting.

"Hey, Haru. She seems like she's just 17 don't you think?" June pressed a whisper to Haru the child of Kento, one of the four children of the main family.

"I don't know..." He pauses and looks at June. " She looks twenty to me."

"Isn't she like your cousin or something?" June's voice came off as a whisper.

"Yeah, but she barely stays at home. She's always going out traveling." Haru said in an uninterested tone.

"Tenzo, it's been so long." The young lady spoke in a very calm but unsettling manner.

Tenzo's spine shivered from her voice "Likewise, Kaori... by the way, what are you doing here.?"

"It's almost Christmas, I tend to make the most out of it with family," Kaori stated in a calm tone, her voice eerie.

Tenzo's brows furrowed, not because he hated her... he feared her.

After Satoru Gojo, there's Kaori Gojo. If it wasn't for Satoru's infinity, she would have been on the same level as him.

"Of course, I also want to claim something for myself." Her eyes landed on June, making the boy recoil from her dominating gaze.

"Why don't we go inside, I believe I kept you waiting for long." A small smile still on her lips as she made her way past the others to the mansion ahead.

The upper family members gathered in one room to discuss internal matters, all seated on their knees Kaori was the only one seated on a chair.

"So they are two factions of the Gojo clan... I assumed this would happen after the death of Tachibana. The next female head that would take on the title of the clan leader." Kaori paused to take a sip from her green tea, an air of authority that clashes with the age gap between her and the elderly seated in the room.

"The old man placed a binding vow that after his death Tachibana his third daughter will become the clan's head, in return she will leave her normal life and take full responsibility for the world of jujutsu." Kaori paused her sentence again.

"That bitch, she never left her old life, she even had a son with an outsider goddammit---."

Kaori placed her index finger on her lips "Shhhhhhhh!!! Shiba, I was in the middle of my revision here, don't interrupt me again."

Shiba couldn't help but let his mouth gap at how she treated him. "As I was saying, Tachibana is dead resulting in the binding vow being broken, Satoru is not interested in this clan's affairs, we don't need older generations leading us, our youth is more than capable. Tenzo is the most safe choice."

" Watch your mouth, child, these are delicate matters, someone your age won't understand this procedure." The elder spoke in disdain.

But in an instant, Kaori appeared behind the elders, her hands mimicking a gun.

"Bang" In an instant cursed energy built up in his head so dense it shattered his skull, painting the place the elder once sat to be stained in red.

"What..." Was all that could come out of Shiba's mouth, Tenzo's eyes narrowed as he looked away from the scene. The rest of the member's faces held a look of disgust and fear, fear for the young lady that stood in their presence.

"Good... Old man Danzo was becoming a nuisance to this family." One of the elders said in contentment.

Kaori still had her smile as she spoke in her usual calm demeanor, betraying the very feelings of the gruesome death they faced.

"I would love for us to understand each other very clearly." She spoke in her dominant attitude her smile never flattering.

"Hey don't you think you went a little bit over the edge?----."

"Tenzo, I would advise you to hold your piss if you don't want to meet the same fate." Kaori cuts him mid-sentence.

"Tch" Was what Tenzo could do after her outburst.

Tenzo may be the clan's head... But Kaori is in control.
