Gojo killed Toji and before his death he revealed that his son would be sold to the Zenin clan in a couple of years. A year later, Geto began to doubt his duties as a sorcerer, annoyed by the people he should protect, and became convinced that to break the cycle in which every sorcerer is stuck it was necessary to kill all non-sorcerers and prevent the birth of other cursed spirits, so he caused a massacre in a village where he was on a mission and was considered a curse user. Gojo failed to kill his former friend and let him go. Geto thus took over the "Time Vessel Association", while Gojo made the acquaintance with a young Megumi.
