Chapter 69
The moment he came to this conclusion, Gojo Satoru began to consider the world with a completely new way of thinking.
In the face of Gojo Satoru's confusion, Bai Yun also fell silent.
He, who originally had a God's perspective, never considered that [Infinite Moon Reading] could be transformed from a great illusion that could destroy the world into a magical spell that could still cause the extinction of mankind, but if controlled properly it could completely kill the entire human spirit and curse everyone.
How to say it, this change added another layer of gold to Bai Yun's already noble dream of Uchiha Madara.
He quietly communicated with the little idiot: Has [Infinite Moon Reading] really become like Gojo Satoru's Noobu here?
The idiot who was staring at the two chapters of Uchiha vests in the system space turned his head 180 degrees after hearing Bai Yun's voice, and nodded after listening carefully to Bai Yun's questions.
Bai Yun: “…”
His expression was odd for a moment.
It feels like you are taking an exam and have already answered all the questions, waiting to surprise everyone after handing in the paper, only to find that you have read the question wrong.
Your mistake is not extremely outrageous, it is just a little off topic, so you can pretend to be completely ignorant of it.
But the person who is peeking at your answer is the son of the examiner (world consciousness) (Gojo Satoru). That being said, you can do whatever you want.
Bai Yun took a deep breath and asked the little idiot quietly: Didn’t I tell you before that you should monitor the condition of the person in the tree and tell me immediately if there are any signs of him turning into a white-eyed person?
Since there was absolutely no need for this, why didn't you correct me then?
The little idiot nodded in confusion: Because I can never change, so I didn’t bother the host!
It always listens to its host!
If the other party was not a nascent system, Bai Yun would think that the other party was looking for trouble.
But what he faced was not only a system that forced him to enter the world early because of his own mistakes, but also a benefactor who helped him save a lot of points to some extent.
What else can we do? We grow together, why would we leave each other?
Gojo Satoru suddenly thought of a question at this time. He turned his head and looked at Bai Yun: "Then do you know how many fingers were originally in Uchiha Obito's hand?"
Bai Yun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head honestly: "Now I know."
Gojo Satoru looked at Bai Yun, who didn't react much, and made a judgment in his heart.
Unlike Ryomen Sukuna, Gojo Satoru does not think that Uchiha Madara killed Uchiha Obito in order to snatch the finger.
After all, if this is really the case, how could "Hatake Kakashi" still sit still?
Especially since Gojo Satoru had a brief fight with Uchiha Madara before and had also seen Uchiha Obito fight, he knew very clearly that both sides were tough opponents. If there really was any conflict, even if Uchiha Madara won in the end, it would be impossible for him to not suffer any injuries at all.
The relationship between these two Uchiha is probably not as rigid as Gojo Satoru had imagined before.
Gojo Satoru can still recall Uchiha Madara's contempt for Ryomen Sukuna.
Under this premise, it is unlikely that he would deliberately collect the remaining fingers, and being provoked by Ryomen Sukuna was actually a completely sudden event, so these fingers could only have been found by Uchiha Madara in those few seconds.
Before he realized that [Infinite Tsukuyomi] had no other way to harm people except locking them up for decades and letting them die naturally, Gojo Satoru might have analyzed the specific abilities of "Uchiha Madara" based on the intelligence he gained from this incident.
But now he already knows it, so at this moment Gojo Satoru just wants to sigh that these two Uchiha seem to have a good relationship.
After all, let’s not talk about the other fingers, but when the fingers on Uchiha Obito’s hand were taken away, the other person must have been conscious.
But according to Yuji Itadori, the action of "Uchiha Madara" taking things out of the void was very smooth and there was no resistance at all - that is to say, "Uchiha Obito" gave him his finger without even asking the reason.
This raises a new question.
Gojo Satoru turned around and looked at Bai Yun with a rare serious expression: "Regarding the relationship between these two Uchiha, are you hiding something from me?"
According to the information that Bai Yun had revealed to Gojo Satoru when he was wearing various aliases, "Uchiha Obito" should be one of the keys to destroy "Uchiha Madara"'s plan.
And from everything Uchiha Madara is doing now, everyone can feel how important the dream of creating a perfect world is to him.
Putting himself in someone else's shoes, Gojo Satoru feels that if he had intended to make a great plan (yes, that's how he views [Infinite Moonlight Reading] now), but the plan failed because of someone, then unless he scatters the other person's ashes, it would be considered that he has burned the plan thoroughly.
All in all, this is definitely not the way these two Uchiha get along with each other.
——There must be something hidden in this.
Bai Yun: “…………”
What is being hidden? There is so much.
For example, the most obvious one is that Uchiha Obito never returned to Konoha, and Hatake Kakashi had been buried in someone else's grave for eighteen years. Later, he finally recognized him, but a few hours later, the fake grave became a real grave, and Uchiha Obito died again in front of him.
But Bai Yun couldn't say that.
He opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
The two kids realized something was wrong from Bai Yun's silence, and the trust between them, which was already superficial, began to waver.
Facing everyone's gaze, Bai Yun began to think wildly. Finally, before his behavior became too suspicious, he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Obito... he is a two-faced spy."
Excuse me, Uchiha Itachi, can you lend me your script?
While Bai Yun was repenting in his heart, he started talking nonsense.
After this opening, the rest of the story became unusually smooth: "At that time, Obito was crushed under a rock and was unexpectedly rescued by the old Uchiha Madara who was hiding."
Bai Yun explained half-truthfully, "At that time, Uchiha Madara had been studying the [Infinite Moon Reading]. Obito had no interest in it at first, but after he found out that I had to kill Rin due to some accidents, he joined the same camp as Uchiha Madara and even used his reputation to help Uchiha Madara deal with some things that were inconvenient for him to deal with at that time."
"Although Uchiha Madara saved Obito's life, he also made it clear to Obito that he just wanted to use him. They worked together and were also on guard against each other. In addition, the plan of [Infinite Moonlight Reading] was not as smooth as it is now. Therefore, after Obito turned against us in the end, we were able to successfully remove the illusion and regain our freedom."
Although some important parts are omitted, these are all things that happened, which are easy to remember and can explain the confusion at hand.
After reorganizing the logic in his mind and feeling that there was nothing wrong, Bai Yun was particularly satisfied with his on-the-spot performance.
Gojo Satoru nodded: "I think it's weird that the Uchiha were able to come up with a counter-policy as soon as [Infinite Moonlight Reading] started. It's not surprising if Uchiha Obito has been on guard and preparing to turn against them."
Bai Yun laughed twice and said nothing.
In the original Naruto world, the countermeasure was mainly developed temporarily by the Six Paths Sage who hijacked corpses.
If this guy had been a step slower, things would not have ended like this.
——After all, when they were killed, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were beaten so badly that they were almost dead.
After resolving the primary confusion in his heart, Gojo Satoru asked, "What did you just say, 'The plan back then didn't go as smoothly as it does now'?"
Bai Yun explained: "Later, it was discovered that although [Infinite Moon Reading] can still make people fall into dreams, it has very serious side effects, so the entire plan must be stopped."
The sequelae that Bai Yun wanted to talk about were actually Kaguya-hime, but Gojo Satoru didn't need to know that.
"Hmm...I see."
Gojo Satoru temporarily made note of this so-called "sequelae" in his heart and fell into deep thought.
He is now paying close attention to [Infinite Monthly Reading], and there is actually a very important reason for this.
That is, as I said before, if [Infinite Moonlight Reading] goes smoothly, the curse will definitely be destroyed before humans.
Even if the spell is lifted, people will fall back into the imperfect and even hopeless reality of that era. It will take a long time for the curse to grow to its original intensity.
Because, imagine, when the old curse is completely removed and the new curse is still in the embryonic stage, what will the world become?
——That would be a world where sorcerers would be more powerful than ever before.
Just like the Konoha that Gojo Satoru and the others had just seen.
On the streets where not even a fly's head could be seen, sorcerers mingled with ordinary people, and everyone had a relaxed smile on their faces. If it weren't for the various shops selling spell tools, Gojo Satoru would even have suspected that curses did not exist in this world.
All these signs forced Gojo Satoru to admit that in terms of the state of the sorcery world alone, Konoha was definitely in a more "perfect" stage than modern society.
More sorcerers, with fewer spells.
This means that the tasks assigned to each person will be much less than they are now.
Everyone will get more rest time, and they can use the spare time to enjoy the life that was taken away by the curse, just like every ordinary person who has no rituals and is not troubled by the curse.
Students have more time to practice, and because there is sufficient manpower, teachers can temporarily put aside their tasks and help young sorcerers grow further.
To be honest, Gojo Satoru even envied Konoha's current situation.
Once this thought arose in his mind, it was like a maggot on the tarsal bone and could not be shaken off.
Gojo Satoru uncontrollably began to imagine what would happen if the technique of [Infinite Moon Reading] was passed down.
First of all, as the key to mastering this technique, the Uchiha clan is likely to become another large family outside the three major families. This will obviously improve the combat power of the human side. In addition, the world of magic will conduct a "big cleanup" every once in a while...
When Gojo Satoru thought about this, he couldn't help but sigh: There should be a lot more people around him than now, right?
Spoiler alert, I plan to write a spin-off about the final IF line after the main story is finished.
The protagonist pretends to be from the IF line at the end, and then travels back to the time period of DK Satoru and the others in the original novel.
