The Kamo Family has been very happy recently.
This is because a new Blood Manipulation successor was born in the Kamo Family.
Last year, the Kamo Family Head's concubine's son awakened Blood Manipulation.
This greatly excited the Kamo Family.
The Gojo Family had Gojo Satoru, the divine child with the Six Eyes and Limitless.
The Zen'in Family also had Eichi, who could use the Ten Shadows Technique.
But their Kamo Family had nothing.
However, this situation was finally about to change.
Kamo Noritoshi, who inherited their Family's innate Technique, was born in the Kamo Family.
They didn't know what Kamo Noritoshi's future achievements would be, but at least for now, the Kamo Family could breathe a sigh of relief.
While Blood Manipulation wasn't the strongest, it also had no weaknesses.
More importantly, it held symbolic significance.
Blood Manipulation could be said to be the spiritual pillar of the Kamo Family.
Its symbolic meaning outweighed its practical meaning.
The only issue was Kamo Noritoshi's birth mother.
The Kamo Family was the Family in the Jujutsu World that valued bloodlines the most among the various great families.
Therefore, the Kamo Family Head's main wife also came from another Jujutsu Sorcerer Family with noble blood.
However, such a main wife with noble blood did not give birth to an outstanding legitimate son.
Instead, it was the concubine, looked down upon by others, who gave birth to excellent offspring.
That's right, she was looked down upon.
The Kamo Family valued bloodlines the most, but although Kamo Noritoshi's mother was the Family Head's concubine, she did not have a noble background.
She only became a concubine because of her beauty.
Therefore, Kamo Noritoshi's mother suffered much bullying and neglect in the Kamo Family.
She originally thought she could rise in status through her son, relying on her excellent son to turn her fortunes around.
But the cold reality dealt a heavy blow to Kamo Noritoshi's mother.
Her son would no longer be her son.
This involved the Kamo Family's most valued theory of bloodline.
Born of ordinary origins, with only her beauty to her name, she was not allowed to stand in a high position.
It was like the Nine-Rank System.
Born an ordinary person, she could only remain an ordinary person her entire life.
This was also why, despite being the Family Head's concubine, many still dared to neglect and bully her.
And there was another great mountain before her.
The Kamo Family Head's main wife.
That 'noble-blooded' main wife.
The Kamo Family, especially the Kamo Family Head's main wife, in order to maintain the nobility and legitimacy of the bloodline, forced her to hand over her son to them.
Making Kamo Noritoshi the legitimate son born to the Kamo Family Head and his main wife.
Kamo Noritoshi's mother despaired, and in pain and confusion, she chose to let go for her son's sake.
Just as Toji Fushiguro, even if he disliked the Zen'in Family, would work hard to make Megumi Fushiguro the Zen'in Family Head.
Kamo Noritoshi's mother likewise gave up everything she had for her son's future.
After establishing a strict Binding Vow, Kamo Noritoshi's mother left the Kamo Family.
Kamo Noritoshi was secretly nurtured and trained by the Kamo Family for a period, and after erasing all traces of his mother, he appeared this year as the legitimate son of the Kamo Family.
Facts proved that Kamo Noritoshi's appearance indeed played a very good role.
Not only were the Kamo Family and its dependents much more confident when out in public.
Even some neutral factions became more courteous to the Kamo Family.
With two Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers, one with the Six Eyes and one with the Ten Shadows Technique, at the forefront.
Many believed that the Kamo Family would sooner or later also produce a Special Grade with their inherited Technique.
This was the significance of Blood Manipulation to the Kamo Family.
Even if Blood Manipulation could not compare to the Ten Shadows Technique and the Six Eyes.
But the reputation of Blood Manipulation was there; as long as it existed, it could play a role.
Even false advertising was fine.
Just like some businesses, even if they only have one grand entrance, they can still make a fortune.
Blood Manipulation was pretty much the same; as long as it was packaged well, it would work. If not, they could hide it at home and let it become an urban legend of the Jujutsu World.
Thus, the Kamo Family's life had been much better in the past six months.
However, the news from the Jujutsu Headquarters made the smiles on the faces of the Kamo Family's core members vanish completely.
At this moment, in the Kamo Family.
"I wonder why the Family Head suddenly summoned us?"
There weren't many people in the room, only the Kamo Family Head and two Elders.
It was a classic small meeting for a big matter.
"This is newly obtained intelligence. Our people have already started the process for this matter, but it probably won't be delayed for too long. Everyone, take a look."
The Kamo Family Head handed out a copy of an application form to everyone.
Below the application form was a detailed explanation.
The few people took the documents, and their expressions quickly turned serious.
The first thing that caught their eyes were the four bolded characters: Blood Manipulation.
'Could it be the Family Head's child who was lost outside?'
The two immediately thought to themselves.
After all, gossip is human nature.
Currently, only the Family Head of the Kamo Family had given birth to a child who awakened Blood Manipulation.
'Could it be that the Family Head wants to bring this child back, and the wife is causing trouble again?'
Then, the application Rank: Special Grade on the application form caught their eyes.
"Special, Special Grade!"
Both of them widened their eyes.
Their first reaction was to feel absurd. How could their Kamo Family not know if a Blood Manipulation user of Special Grade strength appeared?
'Does the Family Head want to bring him back to the Family?'
Thinking this, the two understood.
After all, Blood Manipulation held great significance, and Kamo Noritoshi still needed time to grow.
If they could bring back a fully formed Blood Manipulation user, they could use him directly.
It was just a matter of arranging a suitable explanation and how to appease the Family Head's wife.
In the Zen'in Family, where strength was paramount, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
Naobito Zen'in became the Family Head simply because he was strong enough as a Jujutsu Sorcerer.
But in the Kamo Family, which valued bloodlines and ancestral laws the most, everything had to conform to Family rules and regulations.
However, for a Special Grade and Blood Manipulation, these were not issues.
"Don't get happy too soon, look at the back."
The two heard this and turned to the next page.
Instantly, Noritoshi Kamo and the Cursed Womb: Death Painting appeared before their eyes.
Bang!
"This brat, is he deliberately humiliating our Kamo Family?!"
An Elder angrily slammed the document on the table.
He knew it; how could they not have received news if a powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer using Blood Manipulation appeared?
So it was the incarnated Cursed Womb: Death Painting.
Once this matter was exposed, the good days the Kamo Family had just enjoyed wouldn't last.
When people spoke of Blood Manipulation, their first impression would no longer be that noble inherited Technique of The Big Three Families.
Instead, it would be Noritoshi Kamo, the most evil Jujutsu Sorcerer in history.
How could the Kamo Family accept this?
Such a thing happened after only half a year of good days; they had reason to suspect Eichi was jealous of their good fortune and did it on purpose.
If Eichi knew what this person was thinking, he would surely cry foul.
Blood Manipulation? What use is that kind of thing? Is it worth all my trouble?
"Regardless, the matter has happened. We must resolve it immediately before the impact expands."
The Kamo Family Head pondered for a moment and said.
"How to resolve it?"
The Elder, who had been silent, spoke up to ask.
"...Send someone to Tokyo Jujutsu High. After all, it's an internal matter of our Kamo Family. Principal Yaga probably won't make things difficult for us."
"What about Azuma Eichi?"
This was what gave them the biggest headache.
"Have our people find a way to issue a designated mission to transfer him away."
"That won't be easy."
Ever since it was discovered during the star plasma vessel incident that someone from the Kamo Family issued the designated mission to Eichi's Heroic Spirit Emiya, they had rarely issued designated missions.
Although procedurally, no one could find fault with the Kamo Family.
But after such an incident, they would inevitably be suspected.
"Don't be afraid to spend money. If this matter isn't handled well, you all know the consequences."
The Kamo Family Head spoke.
The meaning was simple: if they didn't want the Kamo Family's reputation to be ruined and their lives to become even harder, everyone should put in the effort.
"I understand."
The two nodded.
