Chapter 119
After hearing this sudden remark, Gojo Satoru fell silent.
Bai Yun was terrified as he listened, and began to wonder what the other party meant.
Before, when most people either did not react or dared not speak out against Uchiha Madara, Gojo Satoru was the first and only one who wanted to create a perfect new world together without hesitation.
However, as time goes by, after seeing the effect of [Infinite Moon Reading] with his own eyes, Gojo Satoru might suddenly change his mind if he feels that the facts are different from what he imagined.
Just when Bai Yun was seriously thinking about what would happen to him if Gojo Satoru really "betrayed" him, the other party brushed aside this heavy topic and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore."
"You're here to see little Sasuke, right? I'll show you the way."
Bai Yun was startled by this title and repeated subconsciously: "...Little Sasuke?"
"right."
Gojo Satoru smiled and nodded: "I feel like he would hate being called that."
Are you still human?
Bai Yun tried to intimidate Gojo Satoru with his eyes, but he did not resist at all and simply raised his hands in surrender.
After the joke, the atmosphere at the scene eased a little. The two quickly arrived at the infirmary and met Okkotsu Yuta at the door, who seemed to be worried about something.
"Gojo-sensei..."
Otsutsuki Yuta first looked at Gojo Satoru for help, and then he realized a little late that "Hatake Kakashi" was also there.
At that moment, he seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He rushed forward and pulled Bai Yun to let him see what the situation of "Uchiha Sasuke" was.
"I think his memory may be a little confused due to time travel."
After pulling Bai Yun to the door of the infirmary, he saw through the glass that "Uchiha Sasuke" was resting inside. He suddenly lowered his voice and carefully explained his reasoning to Bai Yun: "So now that I realize that my memory actually comes from the future, I can't fully accept it for a while."
This is easy to understand. The disasters we have experienced are certainly painful, but when we know that it may be a future that we cannot avoid, the fear of moving step by step towards the abyss without being able to resist is not something that most people can bear.
Otsukotsu Yuta's eyes darkened. He pulled Bai Yun aside, stared at him seriously and asked, "Teacher Kakashi, do you know what happened to him?"
After simply digesting the current situation, Bai Yun thought for two seconds and decided to tell the truth directly.
"After the original clan extermination incident, he was the only Uchiha left in Konoha."
Gojo Satoru quickly grasped the point: "Besides that, there are Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara, right?"
Bai Yun nodded: "Yes, but it's more than that."
He explained: "There was another person who survived at that time, that was Sasuke's biological brother, Uchiha Itachi."
"Itachi Uchiha was a famous genius in Konoha at the time. He had already opened the Mangekyō when he was only 13 years old."
"After opening the Mangekyō, Uchiha Itachi's overall strength was no longer comparable to that of an ordinary person. Therefore, when the Uchiha clan had become enemies with everyone and the clan no longer existed, he was still able to single-handedly serve as a deterrent and a protective umbrella to ensure the survival of Uchiha Sasuke."
In order to avoid making things more complicated, Bai Yun omitted the entire process of Uchiha Itachi's undercover work and simply explained the facts of what the other party had done.
When Okkotsu Yuta heard this, he remembered the photos he had taken secretly before. Although he deleted the film along with the negative after being rejected by Uchiha Sasuke, Okkotsu Yuta still remembers the look in the other person's eyes.
If they couldn't meet just because of the situation, Otsukino Yuta felt that when "Uchiha Sasuke" thought of his brother, he should feel nostalgia and gratitude... In short, there must be more positive emotions.
But in fact, the expression of "Uchiha Sasuke" at that time was much more complicated than imagined.
Otkotsu couldn't help but ask, "What happened between them in the end?"
Bai Yun thought about it for a while, and finally decided not to lie about it: "Uchiha Itachi... He planned for Uchiha Sasuke to kill him personally, and left the eye to him."
He actually thought about hiding this part of history because it seemed like a complete tragedy.
They should be the closest people in the world, but because of the pressure from the world, they turned against each other. Even after they were separated by life and death, the one left behind knew the truth of the matter.
If possible, Bai Yun even hoped that none of this had ever happened.
But considering that Ma Jia had been out of control from time to time before, Bai Yun felt that this matter could not be kept secret.
As long as we talk about "Uchiha Sasuke", it is impossible to avoid mentioning Uchiha Itachi.
Because the latter almost personally shaped the former's entire life.
Okkotsu Yuta's expression was out of control for a moment.
Although from Susanoo, I guessed that the other party probably lost someone important in the future.
But he didn't expect that the truth would be even more cruel than he had imagined.
Otkotsu Yuta had countless questions in his heart in an instant. He wanted to ask Uchiha Itachi why he didn't take his only relative in the world away and why he had to let himself die at his hands.
But this thought only flashed through Okkotsu Yuta's mind, and he soon came up with an answer.
The ancient times were different from today. Materials were extremely scarce. Uchiha Sasuke is only seven years old now, and his brother is probably not that old either. After leaving Konoha, he could support himself with his abilities, but it would not be realistic if he really wanted to take someone with him.
As for the other question...
Okkotsu Yuta had an idea in his mind, but he hoped that he was wrong.
While he fell into silence, Gojo Satoru was not idle either.
Now that most of the problems have been exposed to the light of day, the next step is naturally to come to the stage of resolution.
"Now that you have confirmed it, then things will be easy."
Gojo Satoru tilted his head, indicating "Uchiha Sasuke" who was still lying on the hospital bed.
"We need to consider whether and how to send him back."
"Wait a minute—"
Without waiting for Bai Yun to respond, Yuta raised his voice in disbelief: "But if that's the case, doesn't it mean that 'Uchiha Sasuke' will still have to go through those painful experiences?"
Gojo Satoru shrugged: “Probably.”
"That--"
He interrupted Otsutsuki's unfinished words and said, "But no matter what, we must be prepared now."
Gojo Satoru suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Yun and asked, "What is the final level of Uchiha Sasuke?"
Bai Yun was a little unsure why the other party suddenly asked this, but he answered truthfully: "Above me, together with Uzumaki Naruto, who is the reincarnation of Ashura's curse power, he was called the strongest among us at that time."
Gojo Satoru nodded, and then began to reason with Otsukotsuki Yuta: "Once a person's strength reaches this level, then his every move may have an impact on the future."
Gojo Satoru has a lot to say on this point.
Although due to various ear issues recently, his battle record doesn't seem to be particularly good. Recently, he even only killed one special-level cursed spirit, Branch Eye.
But this is actually a special situation. Gojo Satoru knows that if the plan had not been interrupted by the sudden appearance of "Uchiha Obito", the impostor, including the remaining stitched face and volcanic head, should have been his responsibility.
During this process, it would be fine if he really eliminated all the cursed spirits. However, if they escaped in the middle of the process, the fate of countless people would be affected during the time when the cursed spirits were free and rampant.
Especially——
Gojo Satoru raised another crucial question: "Let's not talk about the past, just take the Uchiha Itachi mentioned earlier - what do you think he would do if he found that he couldn't find his brother no matter what?"
Add to that the Ashura Jurikin who was supposed to be reconciled with Indra Jurikin... this suddenly involved the important causes and effects of at least three special classes.
Otsutsuki Yuta has realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, but he still has a sense of luck in his heart: "...But, isn't it said that history has the ability to repair itself? Maybe everything now has already changed, and even if he doesn't go back, it won't cause much change to the current world-"
Gojo Satoru shook his head: "No, that's impossible."
He stared at her, and actually understood the current situation, but he still subconsciously avoided Okkotsu Yuta, and said word by word: "Because you are the evidence."
Gojo Satoru once again confirmed with Bai Yun: "Do Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Obito, and Uchiha Madara have descendants?"
Bai Yun now knew what the other party was about to say, and replied with a numb expression: "...No."
Gojo Satoru turned to look at Otsutsukoshi Yuta: "Since Uchiha Sasuke is the last living human descendant of the Uchiha clan, then you must be one of his direct descendants."
"He is only 7 years old now. If he doesn't go back, even if the remaining three Uchiha take different paths and accidentally have offspring that didn't exist, the Uchiha Sasuke bloodline will definitely disappear."
Gojo Satoru said earnestly: "Yuta, you will disappear on the spot."
Looking at the two people's heavy expressions, Bai Yun slowly uttered a string of ellipsis: "..."
No, you don't.
Gojo Satoru continued, "Uchiha Sasuke has only been in the modern era for a short time, so it may not be possible to see any drastic changes for the time being, but when he really takes effect, the whole world may be turned upside down all of a sudden."
That's why Gojo Satoru wanted to let "Uchiha Sasuke" return to the timeline where he was supposed to exist as soon as possible.
It's not because he doesn't sympathize with the other person's situation.
But only in this way can he fulfill his responsibilities as the strongest.
Bai Yun: Actually, as long as you guys follow the procedures, I can go on my own. There’s no need to be so strict…
