He didn't know why, but he couldn't leave this clan alone.
Years, upon years, Kenjaku has tried to understand and figure out the Tooru family, however they were hard to find, even harder to encounter.
Apparently, some have learned to hide their curse energy as he saw before. But that skill has since spread to other members. It made his plans all the more difficult to achieve.
He knew a threat when he saw it, and decided he would take many years to discredit the family.
Granted, the bodies he went through was rather plentiful, but in the end, he managed to get some well named sorcerers and had them 'die' at the hands of a Tooru. He spread rumors when he had a different shell, and every time he switched shells, he would add on to the 'sins' of the Tooru family. He would tell one lie, and build on it.
Soon, the rumors were all around Japan, no one, not a single clan batted an eye to them or listened to what they had to say.
That only took a hundred years to discredit a clan.
In modern times, he assumed it could be done within five minutes on social media.
But it paid off.
The Tooru's idea of a council was made, Kenjaku was even asked to help forge it, in which he did so proudly and without hesitation.
It was merely a stitch in his soon to be greater plan.
With the council formed and him having a say within it, he managed to get away with quite a few crimes that would had killed others.
And yet, the Tooru clan would call him out on it.
They tend to appear when it's urgent to do so, they have tried to tell the council of his 'technique' but they didn't listen of course, how could you prove it without removing the top of a person's head WITHOUT certainty? But they did foil a few of his other schemes he concocted later on.
But he had bigger plans, bigger ambitions.
The emperor of Japan at the time knew of the sorcerers, in fact he took the council to be his council for said sorcerers and yet they always referred to Kenjaku as well to have his ear.
"We have reports from the Hida prefect of the curse outbreak." He declared one day. "What are your thoughts?"
Kenjaku waved them off. "That land has been infested for years, I know the council has gone themselves in attempts to erase the curses but they come back stronger than before. It's not worth the man power." He explained.
"Truly? I had a clan come to me stating it was possible, the Toorus."
"Sir, with all due respect, they have little to no credibility." One councilman said. "They descend from murderer and thieves, they are a stain in the Jujutsu world. We lost many great sorcerers in their prime to this family."
"Do you all agree to this?" the Emperor asked.
Their heads nodded.
"Then I will not bother with them. Then let us focus on the cult that wishes to test my power. I know they are planning something, for they have gone silent. My spies have found nothing of interest, but, I know they aim for my head…"
'So do I' Kenjaku thought.
"It has been years since we heard of this cult, are you certain sir?"
The emperor nodded. "I want them found, I want them dead." He decreed. "Make it happen."
Kenjaku knew of this cult, after all, he helped forge it!
He was going to see about their progress, for he heard one of the members ramble like a mad man years ago on a notion, creating a sorcerer like no other and unleashing them upon the world. "There will be no stopping it, and as soon as they reach the Emperor, Japan will fall!"
That was fifty years ago.
No much progress had been made since so, he naturally lost interest.
But found other interests.
The Tooru family inspired Kenjaku, ever since the encounter he had decided to test the techniques of sorcerers, try and understand them and how they are obtained.
He had many test subjects on the matter. And nearly all died in the process. Those who survived were discarded and left to die. There was one though… it haunted him. This test subject was rather interesting in his mind. Since after all, he would do every sort of test concerning curse energy upon this young boy. There was no reaction, and yet the process left the child blind. He couldn't see, and yet, Kenjaku noticed every time someone walked by him, the child could tell who it was. He had switched out his staff many times over, just to ensure no one finds out about his tests or lets slip of his doings.
But this child… he dared to think it was the beginning of the development of the six eyes ability looking back upon it. Yet it was severely under developed as well had not practical use for his needs.
The child was soon abandoned thirty years ago.
That was when he decided to spend some time assisting the cult. Ironically enough, on the anniversary of discarding the child, Kenjaku began to hear word from the cult. They have been successfully breeding and would hopefully have results soon for him to observe.
He has wanted to see the progress of that, and yet, they lacked any sort of development for him to actually go in person to see for himself.
He would wait a while longer, just to be sure…

Years later, he would hear something odd. The cult he helped… had fallen. But not only that, they found a strange, deformed child and had brought it to the council.
Naturally he was curious and wanted to see for himself. However, he just missed the opportunity. "They sent it away, such an unsightly thing! I am rather surprised they didn't kill it." He heard one guard say.
"Indeed, a child had two faces and acted like a savage!"
Two faces?
He managed to get more information, the deformed child not only had two faces, but four eyes and arms to match. He stood nearly as tall as a teenager, but was merely a child.
Could this have been the perfection the cult had wanted to create? The creature to bring down all of Japan…
A natural disaster that is a jujutsu sorcerer?
He had to see for himself.
Kenjaku had to see this child!
