Chapter 70

After Uchiha Madara left, everything seemed to return to normal and time resumed its flow.

The crowd stood beside the ruins of the small building. A breeze blew up a piece of white debris. Senju Tsuna reached out to take it. After holding it in his palm, he found that there was a word "seal" written on it.

She recognized the handwriting as that of her grandmother, Uzumaki Mito.

Senju Tsuna was still very young when the Turbine Country was destroyed.

At that time, the First Ninja World War had just ended. Konoha's Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, was killed in the battle. Uzumaki Mito was silent as usual, with bloodshot eyes, as if he had been crying secretly.

One day, when Senju Tsuna got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, he unexpectedly saw the dim light of candles coming from his grandmother's room.

The young girl thought her grandmother was crying secretly in the dead of night, but when she opened the door and tried to comfort her, she found that the scene in the house was completely different from what she had imagined.

There was not a single tear on Uzumaki Mito's face. On the contrary, she was writing furiously in the house with a burning gaze, rubbing her sore wrists and blinking her dry eyes from time to time.

The bloodshot in her eyes were not due to grief, but a sign of her efforts for the future.

Before she married Hashirama Senju, she was actually the head of the Uzumaki clan.

But after becoming the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki, he hadn't been to the front lines for a long time.

No matter how sharp a blade is, it will rust if it is not sharpened for a long time. In addition, she was getting older, so she didn't realize the other party's arrival until Senju Tsuna pushed the door open.

After seeing the curious expression on Senju Tsunade's face, Uzumaki Mito showed an expression that Tsunade didn't quite understand at the time, and called her over.

After holding the grown-up Senju Tsuna in his arms, Uzumaki Mito did not explain his actions in detail, but continued to quietly write down what he had learned in his life on the scroll.

And Tsuna was just feeling the long-lost closeness from Uzumaki Mito, enjoying this moment of peace, looking at the flickering candles, and blocking out all the sorrow from the outside world.

Senju Tsunayoshi didn't remember how he fell asleep that night, nor did he remember whether he asked his grandmother any questions.

But when she recalled the past with her current reading and experience, she found that the situation at that time was far more dangerous than she thought at the time.

Although Hashirama Senju captured all nine tailed beasts by himself, he still tried to divide them equally among the five major countries for the sake of balance. As the head of the Uzumaki clan, Mito Uzumaki must know the principle of maintaining balance.

So she actually drew a clear line between herself and the Uzumaki family, and even Konoha itself, from the very beginning.

In Konoha, she was no longer the head of the Uzumaki clan, but only the wife of the first Hokage, and later the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Although he was once a seasoned ninja who fought in the battlefield, he has always lived a reclusive life, like a lady from a wealthy family.

It's not that being a lady from a noble family is bad, but that wasn't supposed to be Uzumaki Mito's life.

Aside from the need to seal the tailed beast, she has never shown any intention of sharing or even discussing the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, in order to prevent other countries from thinking too much.

But the man was innocent, but he was guilty of possessing the jade... The Kingdom of Vortex was finally destroyed.

There was little that Uzumaki Mito could do. Although she left some knowledge through her own learning, she just kept it quietly at home without any further plans.

Because she knew that if she tried to pass on this knowledge... Konoha would become the second Vortex Country.

After the death of Hashirama Senju, the first Ninja War broke out among the nations. Soon after the death of Tobirama Senju, the Country of Swirl was destroyed...

Konoha, which originally had an overwhelming advantage, is being weakened little by little, and the forces of all parties are approaching the balance they should have.

Without the shock of absolute strength, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his men would not be able to protect that knowledge, nor would they be able to protect Konoha.

Therefore, although the information about these sealing techniques still exists in the world, it is no different from dead knowledge.

Senju Tsunade once thought that if people no longer intrigue against each other in the future, she might try to let this information see the light of day again.

There is no need to advertise, just take in one or two apprentices. They don't need to be very talented, just have to have a passion for knowledge.

——But that was all before today.

Qian Shou Tsuna loosened her grip, and the shattered paper pieces fell from her palm and flew farther and farther in the direction of the wind.

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade's expression. Although he hid it very well, decades of interaction between them still allowed him to clearly feel the melancholy in his heart.

Jiraiya asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Qian Shou Gang shook his head and said with a sigh: "I just didn't expect that this knowledge would actually be lost..."

After hearing this, Gojo Satoru finally came to his senses.

It's not just this sealing technique! In addition to the sealing technique, you have lost many things!

While Gojo Satoru was shouting in his heart, he began to secretly count on his fingers the currently known and lost techniques: the [Infinite Moon Reading] technique, the physical strengthening type and curse training method, and now there is also a sealing technique...

What a pity!!!

"To prevent this from happening again in the future..."

When Bai Yun heard the familiar voice coming from beside him, his heart skipped a beat. He turned his head and saw Gojo Satoru take a step forward and stand in front of Tsunade. He asked in a rare serious and serious tone: "Why not find a few people to remember these things in their heads?"

Senju Tsuna frowned and showed the other party the ruins behind him: "You can see the current state. There are no copies of these scrolls even in Konoha's storage room."

"If there is no sealing technique, any other one will do. I am not picky."

If we were to sum up Gojo Satoru's feelings at this moment, it would be: Now that he's here, he can't leave empty-handed no matter what.

Bai Yun covered his face: Although he could probably guess that Gojo Satoru's intention was good, it still felt a bit strange when he said this.

As expected, the furrow between Tsuna's brows deepened further. She obviously regarded the man in front of her, whom she met for the first time, as some ignorant lunatic, or simply an arrogant spy from another village.

"What do you mean by that?"

Senju Tsunade has never had a good temper. Now that his family was destroyed for no reason, and after hearing what Gojo Satoru said, he was on the verge of going crazy.

Seeing this, Bai Yun hurriedly worked with Jiraiya to calm Tsuna's emotions first, and then each of them pulled her aside and tried to calm her down.

When he finally turned his back to Tsuna and the others, Bai Yun put away the smirk on his face and stared at Gojo Satoru with dead eyes: "What on earth do you want to do?"

Gojo Satoru grabbed Bai Yun's arm and replied with the same firmness as before, "Let's go talk to Uchiha Madara about cooperation."

Bai Yun: “……?”

How did the topic jump to this direction?

He tried to follow Gojo Satoru's train of thought: "Why?"

"I thought about it." Gojo Satoru, who was still mumbling about these lost skills, replied: "This illusion from five hundred years ago is too precious. Even if all of us study hard here for decades, the knowledge we gain is limited."

"In that case, why don't we try to convince Uchiha Madara to leave this world behind so that future generations can read it at any time."

Bai Yun was shocked after hearing this: "Have you forgotten that we are now trapped in the Infinite Moonlight by Uchiha Madara, and we may not be able to get out until we die?"

Bai Yun didn't understand why Gojo Satoru could say that "Uchiha Madara" was as harmless as the neighbor's grandfather in a situation that was not urgent but still serious. He tried to reason with him: "Although I also hope to solve the problem without bloodshed in the second period, Uchiha Madara is not such an easy person to talk to."

You know, in the world of Naruto, stage BOSSes like Nagato and Uchiha Obito, who were given a lot of fanfare at the beginning, were finally convinced by Uzumaki Naruto's mouth.

But Uchiha Madara didn’t!

He held on to his dream until he was betrayed and found out that [Infinite Moon Reading] was actually a way to awaken Kaguya Otsutsuki, and he did so.

Because Uchiha Madara believes from the bottom of his heart that the world in dreams is better than the real world, and what people say in the real world has no meaning to him!

Bai Yun didn't think that Gojo Satoru, a man who couldn't even convince the top leaders in the world of sorcery, could convince Uchiha Madara, whom even the master of mouth-to-mouth couldn't convince.

Even if he was pretending to be Uchiha Madara, it wouldn't work!

What surprised Bai Yun even more was that Gojo Satoru said firmly, "No, no, he will definitely agree."

His determined tone left Bai Yun at a loss for a moment.

——Who is it under the "Uchiha Madara" vest, you or me? Why do you feel more familiar with him than I do? ? ?

Fushiguro Megumi had the same doubt in his heart. He pulled Yuji Itadori, who seemed a little dazed because of the sudden separation from Ryomen Sukuna, to Gojo Satoru's side and asked, "Do you have any basis for saying this?"

"Because Uchiha Madara has been making progress." Gojo Satoru looked at Bai Yun and analyzed with reason: "You also said that the [Infinite Moonlight Reading] five hundred years ago was not like this now, so he still did not give up his dream during this process and has been studying how to better realize it."

"And just now, you also saw what he did to the Ryomen Sukuna territory."

Bai Yun looked at Gojo Satoru alertly: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Gojo Satoru showed a look of disappointment for a moment: "How could you not realize it?"

Bai Yun: “…”

What should I realize???

Although he felt it was inappropriate, Gojo Satoru ultimately attributed the slowness of "Hatake Kakashi" to his 500 years of seclusion, so he did not dwell on it and explained honestly: "Although in principle, the expansion of the domain is just the creation of a barrier, and then filling it with sure-hit techniques, don't you think that this is actually like creating an independent little world?"

Fushiguro Megumi gradually reacted: "You mean... Uchiha Madara wants to create the world?"

Bai Yun: “……?”

ah???

What do you want to do by saying "Uchiha Madara" again?

"That's it!"

Gojo Satoru gestured twice in the air.

"It's not a false dream like [Infinite Moonlight Reading], he wants to really create a perfect world in reality!"

Gojo Satoru strongly affirmed Fushiguro Megumi's opinion and began to review: "If you think about it carefully, the essence of [Infinite Moonlight Reading] is not that the range is extremely wide, and as long as you are within the range, the area will be hit, right?"

"'Uchiha Madara' can now freely control all existence in the dream, but when fighting Ryoumen Sukuna, he still tried to control the buildings in the domain - to make an analogy, it is the real world outside the illusion. What does this prove?"

Fushiguro followed his line of thought and made a tentative assumption, "Does this prove that he only wants to lock us up temporarily, and will release us all after he successfully transforms the outside world?"

After all, if he wasn't still moving, "Uchiha Madara", who had completely fulfilled his dream, should have been able to lie down completely!

The curses outside were not enough for him to fight with one hand, and the people trapped in the dream didn't seem to have found any real way to get out.

His advantages are obvious, and there is no need for him to work so hard.

So in Gojo Satoru's heart, since "Uchiha Madara" is still taking action, it only proves that there is still a certain gap between the current situation and the perfection he pursues.

This also made him feel a little curious.

——What kind of obsession can make Uchiha Madara persevere in trying to perfect his dream and still maintain his original sincerity after hundreds of years of silence?
