Chapter 26

After hearing Gojo Satoru's shocking words, Nanami Kento subconsciously looked around.

They were now not far from the building where the senior executives were meeting. If they looked up, they could even see a figure looming in front of the window on the second floor.

According to the average physical fitness of sorcerers, if someone opened the window and looked downstairs, even if they couldn't hear what the two of them were whispering, they would be able to successfully smell something wrong from Gojo Satoru's expression.

Although he had been forced to take part, Nanami Kento, who had no intention of breaking up with the higher-ups, was silent for two seconds. He took the rare opportunity to do it himself, grabbed Gojo Satoru's collar, and started walking towards the gate.

Gojo Satoru very naturally and briefly canceled the unlimited technique for a moment, and then restarted the technique after wrapping Nanami Kento in the range of the technique.

By the way, it was not only his unlimited technique that was reactivated, but also his lawless mouth.

"After knowing the true formula of the curse, everything is different, do you understand?"

The blond sorcerer said nothing, turned his back to the center of the Jujutsu High School, and walked towards the periphery.

Nanami Kento understood, but he wished he didn't understand.

Because of the phased coordination of the curse, most of the information Gojo Satoru and his team obtained was not only deduced by themselves, but also fragmented. The conclusions they finally reached were also quite random.

This is also why, although it seems that every speculation makes sense, whenever they want to piece together the complete facts, there are either some inconsistencies here or there are gaps there that cannot be explained at all.

Every time Gojo Satoru finds these temporarily unsolvable problems, he looks anxious, as if he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't get to the bottom of it, and he wishes he could drag the whole world into going crazy with him.

——From the current situation, those mysteries are gradually revealing their true colors under the promotion of Gojo Satoru.

And the truth of the matter, not surprisingly, was not at all what the blond sorcerer wanted to see.

Before this, Nanami Kento and Gojo Satoru did not actually discuss much about the reasons for the extinction of the Uchiha clan.

It wasn't because they didn't want to or didn't care, but based on the intelligence at the time, they really couldn't think of any convincing possibility.

Before today, the only speculation about the disappearance of the Uchiha clan was Gojo Satoru's seemingly joking remark: "This family, like the container technology, was wiped out by everyone's unanimous agreement."

An unintentional remark at that time unexpectedly revealed the truth of the matter.

There's something inexplicably ironic about it.

Seeing that they had finally left the barrier of the Jujutsu High School, Nanami Kento finally let out a long sigh and at the same time let go of the hand that was holding Gojo Satoru's collar.

And just like before, after solving one problem, more problems followed.

For example: Now that we have roughly guessed the reason why the Uchiha clan was exterminated, how was it implemented in detail?

You know, in the world of sorcery, a person's strength is determined by 80% or more at birth because of the spell engraved in his body.

As for the two that have the ability to copy, one is the Curse and the other is the Sorcerer, their special grade rate has reached an astonishing 100%.

This is enough to demonstrate the amazing potential of replicating this spell.

Therefore, as a family whose inherited techniques could reach a special level, even when all other information was unknown, Nanami Kento could make a very responsible judgment that the Uchiha family at that time was at least a family that could compete with the current Uchiha family.

But this family has now disappeared without even a trace of record...

Even though he had been dragged to the gate of the Jujutsu High School, Gojo Satoru was in no hurry to leave.

Because he didn't feel the need to find out the truth and avoid the murderer's bad behavior.

Therefore, he stood at the door for a moment to think about his next plan, and then pulled the reluctant blond sorcerer and walked in another direction away from the center of the Sorcery High School.

"Come with me."

Nanami Kento struggled symbolically for a moment, but finally let out a long sigh and followed the other party obediently.

Finally they came to the data room of Jujutsu High School.

This place is different from the archives of various families. It basically only records major events in the world of sorcery and completely ignores the details. The only advantage is that as a public archive, no one knows who has read it, so generally no one dares to tamper with the contents.

Although if it is true as they speculated, the Uchiha clan was exterminated after the unanimous agreement of the Jujutsu families... then logically speaking, there would not be any relevant information about the Uchiha clan in the Jujutsu High School.

Fortunately, Gojo Satoru's goal this time is not something so straightforward.

"Master, I came here to find something."

There is only a kind old man guarding the data room. This old man has had this wrinkled look since more than ten years ago when Gojo Satoru and his friends were still in school. After all his teeth fell out, his lips were inevitably pursed inward, and he looks like he is always smiling.

When the kind old man was disturbed, there was a plate of mango daifuku in front of him and a cup of hot tea in his hand, with hot steam rising from the mouth of the teacup.

He took a sip of tea and then said slowly, "Ah——?"

It was obvious that his hearing had deteriorated, his reaction was not as good as before, and he even had some signs of Alzheimer's disease.

The fact that he was still holding down his post showed that the Jujutsu High School did not attach much importance to this data room.

Nanami Kento stood at the door, the sunlight warming his back, forming a sharp contrast with the sadness in his heart.

Seeing that Gojo Satoru had already gone straight to the target and started searching, without even noticing the old man's slow-moving confusion, the blond sorcerer was silent for a long time, and finally nodded at the other party, then stepped into the data room.

"…Excuse me."

Grandpa: "Ah? What's burning?"

Nanami Kento gave up the idea of ​​continuing the conversation. He walked up to Gojo Satoru and planned to make a quick decision: "So, what are we doing here?"

Gojo Satoru looked through the data and explained, "This is a guess about the 'balance' I just mentioned."

Gojo Satoru imagined what would happen to the Uchiha family, and if this process were to be reflected on the entire world, the strength of the curses should also change accordingly.

It was relatively slow at first, but reached a peak after the Curse Spirit successfully copied the Unlimited Technique, and then fell back to the starting point after the Uchiha clan was gradually destroyed.

Gojo Satoru is now trying to find such a curve in history.

If this method can successfully locate the approximate time of the curse, it will be very helpful for further investigation.

Nanami Kento nodded, temporarily agreeing with this statement.

From this perspective, the database of the Jujutsu High School is indeed more useful than that within the family.

Because the channels for information dissemination were limited in ancient times, the only reliable information available to most families was about their own family members; stories from more distant places would be mixed with some rumors.

As the Jujutsu High School has been a neutral area since ancient times, many families are willing to contribute some intelligence that does not harm their own interests in order to show their position and gain the identity of a friendly camp.

In this way, the Jujutsu High School's data room, through the dissemination of information from many sources, became a very macro, detail-less, but sufficiently realistic historical overview.

Such a database would of course contain relevant materials recording some major events of each year.

Nanami Kento and Gojo Satoru can roughly infer the overall level of curses in that year based on the number of major events recorded each year and the strength of the curses that caused the events.

Although it seems simple, it actually involves a lot of work. Even if you initially discover that the curse of a certain year has a slightly increasing trend, you still have to observe whether there was a war or other natural disasters or man-made calamities at that time.

The two were busy from the afternoon until midnight, and finally discovered that since the end of the Heian-kyo era a thousand years ago, the overall power of the mysterious side has gradually dissipated with the passage of time. The few small fluctuations mostly occurred during the famine war period, and it cannot be concluded that they are related to the Uchiha clan.

The only time the curse exploded during relatively peaceful times was, well, because of the birth of Gojo Satoru himself.

Nanami Kento put down the last ancient book. The yellowed pages were so fragile that they seemed like they would commit suicide on the spot if touched.

"That's all the information."

The blond sorcerer turned his head and looked at Gojo Satoru who was standing beside him with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Any other ideas?"

Gojo Satoru tried to hypothesize: "Perhaps... from the time the curse was successfully replicated to the time the Uchiha clan was annihilated, there was only a short period of time in between?"

So short that even the world didn’t have time to react.

But the difficulty is extremely high, after all, what you have to face is equivalent to an entire family of the three current families.

Gojo Satoru tried to bring in what he knew about the situation and began to make assumptions.

Either they were wiped out by people they trusted without any defense, or they were suppressed by absolute power and had no ability to resist.

The moment he came to these two conclusions, a candidate emerged in Gojo Satoru's mind.

A... six-eye that meets both conditions.

Congratulations (?) to Gojo Kakashi for his epic enhancement
