Chapter 40
Okkotsu Yuta still remembers the scene not long ago when he just got off the plane and hurriedly went to find Gojo Sensei.
At that time, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get through to the other party's phone. In his anxiety, he finally found the other party's residence through Mr. Ijichi.
Then he found Gojo Satoru sleeping.
At that moment, Otsutsuki Yuta, who respected but did not trust Gojo Satoru, sincerely wondered for a moment whether the other party was making a joke of him.
But even if it was Gojo Satoru, it was still too much to make fun of other people's ancestors.
Okkotsu Yuta was silent for a long time, feeling that there must be some hidden story here.
Just as he was hesitating whether to wake him up or wait quietly on the side, Gojo Satoru woke up by himself.
When he saw Otsutsuki Yuta, Gojo Satoru seemed confused for a moment: "Huh? Why is it you?"
Otsukoshi Yuta was silent for two seconds, then said, "It was you who asked me to come back, Gojo-sensei."
Gojo Satoru seemed to realize the ambiguity in his words and waved his hands: "Ah, no, I mean, why are you the only one here?"
Otsutsuki Yuta was a little dazed: "Do you want a souvenir, Mr. Gojo?"
Gojo Satoru felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw that Otsutsukoshi Yuta had a puzzled look on his face, as if he really hadn't met Uchiha Obito.
Since the cursed spirit could feel that it had intruded into his memory the first time, it didn't make sense that it couldn't feel it the second time when the distance was even closer.
And judging from the contents of these two dreams, Gojo Satoru felt that the second dream was definitely more private than the first one, and he didn't want outsiders to see it.
But it never came back.
This can only prove that something unexpected happened in the meantime, making Uchiha Obito feel that things over there are more urgent.
Thinking of this, Gojo Satoru could no longer sit still. He immediately called Ijichi, and then forced Ijichi to call more people...
After a lot of trouble and making a big fuss, Gojo Satoru and his team finally located the abandoned factory.
No, it should be an abandoned former factory.
Because now, as far as Gojo Satoru and the others can see, there is only a wasteland.
The space inside the tent seemed to have been plowed through, with huge pieces of rubble all over the ground. Steel bars protruded from large pieces of concrete, but they were hanging down strangely, as if they had melted and then cooled down again.
There were some small flames on the ground, burning something unknown. The flames flickered, and if you looked carefully, there was a high probability that you would catch a familiar piece of clothing nearby.
Most of the thick smoke had dissipated by now, but the air was still filled with a sickening smell, the result of a struggle between power and life.
Otsutsuki Yuta stood beside Gojo Satoru, looking at the only person standing in the ruins, and felt his throat a little dry.
Although it was a little late, when they arrived, they had already seen the people of the Kamo family and Zenin Osamu in chaos under the guidance of the cursed spirit.
Sorcerers generally have very flexible moral standards.
For example, senior officials can very naturally discuss how to execute Yuji Itadori now or Yuta Otsukotsuki in the past in a society ruled by law.
For example, every time the sorcerers meet the cursers, they fight to the death.
During last year’s One Hundred Demons Night Parade, more than just cursed spirits died.
Although Otsukotsu Yuuta has only entered the world of sorcery for a year, perhaps due to his nature or because of Urika's preparation, Otsukotsu Yuuta, who should have been educated with "life first", actually reacted well to the scene in front of him.
Maybe he knew that there were no innocent people among those who died this time...
Even without counting the scene where Zenin Mai was brought in for an experiment, Otsukotsu Kyouta still had no good feelings towards the high-ranking officials in the world of sorcery.
Because after Gojo Satoru refused to execute Yuji Itadori, they then went after his head.
You have to know that at that time, Okkotsu Yuta had just escaped from the position where Itadori Yuji is now.
Taking all these reasons into consideration, Otsukotsu Yuta would not think that Uchiha Obito's behavior was excessive.
On the contrary, because of Rikka and his non-family background, Otsukotsu Yuta might be the person with the highest acceptance of "Uchiha Obito" in the entire world of curse arts.
In just a moment of distraction, the coral on the other side of the battlefield was completely swallowed up. Then the monster that covered the sky and the sun turned its head and stared in the direction of Okkotsu Yuta and the others with only one eye open.
Seeing that he had been exposed, Gojo Satoru did not feel guilty at all. He patted the hesitant Okkotsu Yuta on the side and said with encouragement, "Let's go."
Okkotsu Yuta glanced at the teacher beside him, nodded, and jumped with him from the originally safe place to the center of the battlefield.
As he got closer, Okkotsu Yuta could hear some of the cursed spirits' voices, as they were talking to the curse behind them.
The curse spirit's voice was low and hoarse, like the fine sand at the bottom of a river, which became more timeless and fresher with the passage of time, and had a subtle sense of rhythm.
Although I couldn't hear the specific content, from the tone... it seemed like it was soothing the curse behind it?
This strange and misplaced combination made Otsukuro Yuta think of his relationship with Riko.
He unconsciously touched the place where the ring was.
But at that time, Okkotsu Yuta was still too young. He didn't know that in addition to true love and sincere giving, people in the world would often be extra gentle when drawing cakes.
After repeatedly repeating to the retarded system several times "You can't eat this", "That belongs to someone else", "When have I ever been hungry for you", and "We have plenty of food at home", a series of tricks that are usually used by parents to deal with their own naughty children, Bai Yun finally persuaded the system, which was almost drooling at the sight of the two people approaching.
For the system, energy - in this world, it is mana, which is the root and basis of its growth. This is not a simple hunger, but a very complex pursuit and yearning for evolution.
So just now, when Bai Yun wanted it to cooperate in acting, pretending to be a heretic golem to eat the coral and use biological control technology to eliminate the opponent, the little idiot agreed without thinking.
If it was simply removal, the system would only collect the scattered mana that was later scattered in the air, but if it was eaten up the whole thing now, there would be no waste at all.
Not only has the efficiency been improved and the main mission advanced, but the host has also promised to give it a share of the profits, which is double joy for the system.
So when he saw the two key characters, Otsutsuki Yuta and Gojo Satoru, the little idiot was ready to make another move.
After being stopped by Bai Yun, the system felt aggrieved but still chose to obey.
Because even though it is mentally retarded and greedy, the system is still a system. It always puts the host first. It understands such a simple truth.
Gojo Satoru, who had no idea that he was almost eaten alive, whistled in surprise when he saw the retarded system disappear obediently, and when "Uchiha Obito" looked over, he clapped his hands as if the guest was the host.
"Well, first, a brief introduction."
Gojo Satoru stood between Otsutsukoshi Yuta and Bai Yun and introduced them one by one.
He first came to Bai Yun with great courage and pointed at the cursed spirit with his backhand, and said to Otsutsukoshi Yuta: "This is Uchiha Obito, your ancestor."
Afterwards, Gojo Satoru flashed behind his student, patted his stiff shoulder, and said to Bai Yun: "This is Otsutsukoshi Yuta, your descendant."
Otsutsuki Yuta was a little nervous about Gojo Satoru. He suddenly recalled the scene when he went back to his hometown as a child and was dragged by his parents to meet a bunch of unfamiliar relatives. For a while, he even spoke stutteringly: "Oh, that, I'm Otsutsuki Yuta... hello?"
Bai Yun: “…”
Bai Yun closed his eyes, thinking that this day had finally arrived.
When Bai Yun first came across Okkotsu Kyouta's ability, he thought of Gojo Satoru's train of thought that was about to go wrong, and he immediately realized with despair that the other party would sooner or later connect "Uchiha Obito" and Okkotsu Kyouta together.
If it were in the past, Bai Yun would probably have said, "I'm not me, don't talk nonsense."
But now he has grown up and knows how to use other people's weird thinking patterns to benefit himself and use them for his own benefit!
So after opening his eyes, Bai Yun simply glanced at Yuta, who seemed somewhat embarrassed, and shook his head: "This is impossible."
The curse spirit's tone was very firm, as if it had determined that it was impossible for the Uchiha clan to have any descendants in the world. This tone made Otsukoshi Yuta subconsciously clench his fists, and also made Gojo Satoru once again certain that there must be many unknown stories behind the disappearance of the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Obito has never clearly stated how the Uchiha clan disappeared until now. Gojo Satoru can only make simple guesses based on the small amount of leaked information and after reasonable thinking.
But no matter which one, the Uchiha clan did not get a good ending...
Even Uchiha Obito's attitude just now hinted that the Uchiha clan must have been exterminated during the Curse Spirit's lifetime.
That's why it can be so sure that there are no more Uchiha in the world.
Therefore, for fear of upsetting the cursed spirit, Gojo Satoru never asked directly what happened.
But now that Okkotsu Yuta is alive and well, he is the ironclad proof that the bloodline has survived.
This should be a great surprise for Uchiha Obito, who had long thought that he no longer had a family.
"Well, maybe not yours."
Gojo Satoru's expression remained unchanged.
"But it's definitely from the Uchiha family."
"Because the ritual doesn't lie."
Seeing Gojo Satoru's undoubting attitude, Bai Yun secretly felt lucky that he had already let it go. He changed his mind and continued with the mission.
Instead of trying to correct Gojo Satoru, it is better to follow his imagination and then magnify the parts that are beneficial to you.
As for the unreasonable parts... Gojo Satoru will not only figure them out himself, but he will also pass on his ideas to everyone.
Sometimes, thoughts are indeed contagious. For example, when I was a child, when I secretly looked up the answers to liberal arts homework, sometimes it was not that I didn’t want to write a correct answer that was not quite similar to the answer, but in the end it would always be very similar to the standard answer.
Now, for Bai Yun, Gojo Satoru is the "standard answer"... Although everything printed on it is wrong, everyone thinks it is true, and once you have seen it, you cannot get rid of his influence.
This would also make things easier for Bai Yun.
On the other side, Gojo Satoru didn't know he was being plotted against, and was still drawing his Yan map: "Generally speaking, when an elder meets a younger person for the first time, he should give a little gift... But considering that today's meeting is just an accident, we don't want anything from you."
At this point, the truth came out: "Just a simple chat is enough."
Bai Yun was waiting for this. He pretended to ponder for two seconds, his eyes wandering around the two people in front of him, before he slowly nodded: "Okay."
"So, the curse just now is the one that is sealed in your body?"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Gojo Satoru put his hands in his pockets and asked directly, "It's quite impressive. What's its name?"
Bai Yun glanced at him and said with a fake smile, "You can tell me, but you won't find any relevant records."
Gojo Satoru tilted his head: "So confident?"
Bai Yun did not accept his provocation, but kept a sarcastic expression and said word by word: "Its name is the Outer Dao Golem..."
Just as Gojo Satoru was secretly searching for this name in his memory, the next second, things took a turn that he had never imagined.
"It's the incomplete form of the Ten-Tails."
Otsutsuki Yuta raised his head suddenly, and the smile that habitually hung on the corner of Gojo Satoru's mouth froze for a moment.
In other words, the curse just now...
It's actually just a cursed fetus?
At first I was wondering if the fighting between the accounts would make it seem like the protagonist's work was in vain, but after reading the comments yesterday, I figured it out.
The Uchiha internal conflict is completely original! Not OOC at all! I will start to get crazy after all the villains in the original work are gone (?)
Also, I don't plan to write about Kaguya, and I haven't watched Boruto: Naruto Online either, so the relationship between the Divine Tree and the Ten-Tails will be modified through the mouth of Gojo-sensei, so don't be surprised.
Actually, this chapter should be written together with the next one, but I can't finish it, so I'll leave it for tomorrow ()
