"Don't joke around, I'm just temporarily staying at your school, not changing jobs."
Yuki Tsukumo heard Satoru Gojo's words, waved her hand helplessly, and then said with a disdainful expression,
"Besides, do you think I'm the kind of person who would sell my freedom for such a small salary?"
"Is that so? That's a pity—"
Satoru Gojo heard Yuki Tsukumo's words and was about to sigh regretfully, but then he saw Yuki Tsukumo suddenly raise a finger at him.
"A hundred times!"
Yuki Tsukumo held up a finger to Satoru Gojo and said seriously,
"As long as you can offer me a salary one hundred times higher than what I currently earn, I'll consider changing jobs."
"Eh?!~"
Satoru Gojo's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing Yuki Tsukumo's condition, then he immediately nodded and said,
"No problem! We'll go back and sign the contract immediately. You'll still get your school salary, and I'll personally give you an additional one hundred times your salary!"
The salaries of Jujutsu High teachers were not high, and whether it was one hundred times or one thousand times made little difference to a wealthy person like Satoru Gojo. What he truly valued was the significance of Yuki Tsukumo changing jobs to their side.
Although Satoru Gojo himself could shake the entire Jujutsu World, and he also had a student who was a Special Grade Sorcerer.
But on the surface, there was at least Yuki Tsukumo who could balance them—at least until Yuki Tsukumo and Satoru Gojo had fought. Such an illusion could be created; this was also why the higher-ups of Jujutsu High, despite knowing that Yuki Tsukumo's philosophy differed from theirs—even going against it—still maintained her teaching position at Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High School.
If Yuki Tsukumo "changed jobs," it would mean that even the illusion of someone being able to balance Satoru Gojo on the surface would be shattered. No one among the higher-ups of the Jujutsu World wanted to see that situation.
And for Satoru Gojo, once Yuki Tsukumo changed jobs, he would be able to do whatever he wanted with even greater freedom.
"Deal."
Yuki Tsukumo heard the conditions Satoru Gojo offered and, without any hesitation, immediately nodded.
"We'll go sign the contract right away."
Yuki Tsukumo naturally understood the significance of her "job change," but she didn't care. Moreover, after the events of tonight, her decision to ally with Satoru Gojo became even firmer.
Because she felt that tonight's events were too peculiar.
Not many people knew about her return, yet after landing, she only stayed at Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical High School for a few hours before being immediately attacked by three unrecorded Special Grade Cursed Spirits. It would be absurd to say there was nothing suspicious about this.
The higher-ups of the Jujutsu World had more than once asked her to hand over Naruto, and each time she had refused without hesitation. Furthermore, this time, upon her return, she brought Naruto to Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical High School and even made Naruto Satoru Gojo's student. Her intentions were already very clear.
Yuki Tsukumo had reason to suspect that the higher-ups of the Jujutsu World leaked her whereabouts, wanting to use the Cursed Spirits to eliminate her, and then find a way to trick Naruto into becoming their tool.
In fact, Yuki Tsukumo's suspicions were still too conservative. The higher-ups of the Jujutsu World didn't just leak her whereabouts; they directly sold her out, and very thoroughly at that. Otherwise, how could Kenjaku have such a thorough understanding of her Cursed Technique information and even specifically devise a targeted plan?
"Okay!~"
Satoru Gojo heard Yuki Tsukumo's words, pulled down his blindfold, met her gaze, and then they exchanged a smile.
Both understood the meaning of Yuki Tsukumo's "job change," and although they each had their own objectives, they silently reached an agreement.
As for the hundredfold salary, don't joke around—for a Special Grade Sorcerer with "nation-destroying" power, if they truly wanted money, it would be incredibly easy.

On the other side—
Tens of kilometers away from Naruto and the others' location.
"Cough, cough!~"
Kenjaku struggled to get up from the rubble, his damaged body rapidly repairing under the surging Cursed Energy. He then looked at the trail he had flown through and couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
"Hahaha, I knew it, that kid is simply amazing!"
Recalling the kick he had just received, even though it didn't hit a vital spot, it made him feel as if he saw his life flash before his eyes in an instant.
More importantly, he didn't feel any Cursed Energy from Naruto's kick.
In other words, the terrifying strength that sent him flying tens of kilometers was purely released by Naruto's physical body, without any external power involved.
And Tengen had personally confirmed that Naruto was not a non-Cursed Energy user, and his innate Cursed Energy reserves far exceeded those of ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers.
"Heh heh heh!~"
After Kenjaku finished repairing his body, he released a giant bird-like Cursed Spirit, then leaped onto the Cursed Spirit's back, gazing into the distance in the direction he had flown from, and softly said,
"An incredibly powerful physical body, coupled with naturally strong Cursed Energy. No wonder that guy Tengen is so obsessed with his body.
With such a body and talent, if he continues to grow, to what extent will he develop in the future? Will he become the next Satoru Gojo, or a new King of Curses? It's truly exciting!"
Saying this, he turned his head to look in the direction of Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical High School, frowning slightly.
"Hanami, Dagon, and Jogo—they all died. This time, the loss is truly heavy!
If Mahito can't grow quickly from now on, things will probably become troublesome."
His current body had already been seen by Yuki Tsukumo, and their ambush failed to eliminate Yuki Tsukumo.
Therefore, the matter of him manipulating Suguru Geto's body would definitely reach Satoru Gojo's ears, and at that time, Satoru Gojo might personally pursue him.
No—not "might," but Satoru Gojo would definitely personally pursue him once he knew that Suguru Geto's body was being manipulated by him!
"Hmph!~"
Thinking this, Kenjaku couldn't help but sigh softly and say,
"With things developing like this, if I don't find a way to deal with Satoru Gojo first, my plan will probably face unprecedented obstacles."
Saying this, he pulled out a black cube with many eyes from his embrace, holding it in his hand and playing with it as he said,
"It seems it's time to find a way to 'seal' Satoru Gojo first."

Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical High School. Naruto and Yuki Tsukumo once again returned to this school with Satoru Gojo, and once again met Principal Yaga Masamichi.
Principal Yaga Masamichi was very surprised by Yuki Tsukumo's "job change" to Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical High School, but he didn't ask much and directly drafted a contract for Yuki Tsukumo on the spot.
Although a "teacher" like Yuki Tsukumo wanting to change jobs would normally require the approval of Jujutsu High's higher-ups,
Yaga Masamichi felt that those guys should not be so foolish.
Thus, after Yuki Tsukumo signed the employment contract with Principal Yaga Masamichi, she, like Satoru Gojo, officially became a teacher at this school.
Finally, Yuki Tsukumo proposed to Satoru Gojo that she wanted to meet the young man who had swallowed the King of Curses's finger and still maintained his self-awareness, Itadori Yuji, along with Naruto.
