Chapter 74

Bai Yun waited for a long time, but there was no further response. He was a little dazed for a moment: "That's it?"

Uchiha Obito tilted his head and replied: "I think you are fake, and you think I am fake."

"fair enough."

Unlike what Bai Yun imagined, Uchiha Obito had no intention of delving into the matter further.

Instead, he looked relieved.

He was wearing a mask, but his body language still showed his relaxation very clearly, as if he had instantly unloaded the burden he had been carrying for the past eighteen years, and all the ugly and heavy things.

This, in turn, aroused Bai Yun's vigilance.

Because even though the Uchiha's emotions were intense, and even though "Hatake Kakashi" did produce a certain degree of evidence, this emotional turn was abrupt enough.

Bai Yun quickly figured out what this meant - Uchiha Obito was just acting.

Although his identity was revealed, he did not take off his mask.

After all, although he insisted that this world was fake and not worth staying in, he did not hold back at all during his more than ten years of career, and even killed his mentor who treated him well with his own hands, but this can better reflect the importance of Uchiha Obito to [Infinite Moon Reading]

How could he pretend nothing happened just because of Bai Yun's words?

According to Bai Yun's guess, Uchiha Obito probably just realized that something was beyond his understanding and was trying to extract information from Bai Yun and the others.

Although he is now self-deprecating, he is quite flexible and can adapt to Bai Yun's reaction at any time. Apart from acknowledging his identity as Uchiha Obito, he did not reveal any unnecessary information.

Bai Yun stared at him for a long time through the mask, then made up her mind and said, "I need your help."

The real Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara are probably the people in the world who have studied [Infinite Moonlight Reading] most thoroughly.

Although Bai Yun possesses the aliases of these two people, even if the matching degree is adjusted to the maximum, he cannot completely replace these two people.

Research is the field that needs a flash of inspiration the most. If Uchiha Obito can be brought into the same camp - even if the other party is not that real - it is still possible to study what is happening more quickly.

As for the temptation from Uchiha Obito... Bai Yun didn't lie about this, so let him study it slowly on his own.

The Uchiha people always find it easier to accept the truth they have discovered through their own investigations.

Uchiha Obito was not surprised by Bai Yun's question: "So, what happened?"

In order to seek help, Bai Yun told the other party everything that happened as much as possible. However, because he could not mention the connection between the vests, in the end, it turned out that it could only be Uchiha Madara's fault.

Uchiha Obito snorted after reaching this conclusion: "[Infinite Moon Reading] is essentially a created thing, but the unique nature of dreams means that they do not have spatial volume, so they should not collide or merge with each other."

"Unless the owner of [Infinite Moon Reading] deliberately controls the different 'worlds' to come closer, then these same energies will make them inseparable the moment they come into contact."

Bai Yun was sure that he had never done anything like this, so after pretending to be silent for two seconds, he tried to raise another possibility: "Could this situation be caused by an accident?"

"Connecting the two worlds by accident? Perhaps some degree of energy exchange can do it, but I can't make a more specific judgment until I get more information."

This is why he killed all those rotten oranges at once. He needed more samples to figure out what was going on.

Uchiha Obito stared at Bai Yun for two seconds and asked, "Why do you think this was an accident?"

Bai Yun explained: "We put forward this hypothesis just in case. We cannot miss any possibility."

After hearing this, Uchiha Obito didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he didn't say anything else.

The word "give up" is completely absent from Gojo Satoru's dictionary. Seeing that Bai Yun's conversation had come to a close, he stepped forward at the right time and asked Uchiha Obito, "By the way, since you are playing Uchiha Madara, you must be very familiar with him, right?"

Bai Yun once told him the story between the two Uchiha, although it was a simplified version, and Uchiha Obito was twisted into a two-faced spy by him, but no matter what, it should not make Gojo Satoru have similar doubts.

Therefore, the fact that he asked such an obvious question now could only mean that there were even more shocking topics to come.

Sure enough, the next second, Bai Yun heard Gojo Satoru ask, "Can you get his body?"

Bai Yun couldn't help but look at him in shock: "What do you want to do?"

Gojo Satoru explained innocently, "The person we met is no longer human, so I want to try to see if I can see him again by using unconventional methods."

Just like Gojo Satoru didn't let Yuji Itadori call Uchiha Madara by his name before, he thought that doing so would be heard by Uchiha Madara himself.

Although Gojo Satoru sincerely felt that Uchiha Madara had a good temper and would not do anything substantial just because of someone else's casual words, this was only his personal judgment after all, so when facing his own students, Gojo Satoru still tended to let them be cautious.

But when he was the only one left, Gojo Satoru was not so cautious, and even seemed a bit suicidal in the eyes of others.

He explained: "In fact, I judge that no matter which dream world Uchiha Madara is in, he is actually just a clone of the original."

"Although Uchiha Madara can still choose not to intervene because it is just a clone, it is still connected to the original body. As long as we study it carefully, we will always find a way to solve the problem."

"At that time, even if he is unwilling to come to see us, we can choose to forcibly pull him over."

Just as Bai Yun was immersed in Gojo Satoru's bold but seemingly logically feasible idea, he suddenly heard Uchiha Obito's laughter coming from the side.

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

The sound grew from small to large until it seemed as if he was going to vomit out his lungs, as if he had heard some unprecedented joke, but there was no sense of happiness in his emotions.

His heart was beating like a drum in his chest. Uchiha Obito took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Has that old guy fallen to this point..."

For a moment, the balance in Uchiha Obito's heart began to tilt towards the assumption that he was in the state of [Infinite Tsukuyomi].

Because the world that Uchiha Obito knew could not foster a personality like Gojo Satoru.

If we infer from Gojo Satoru's age, he should have experienced at least two great ninja wars in his life.

No ninja who had experienced war would make such a strange request.

No matter how well protected one is, war always brings death. Ninjas are just tools after all, and even the son of the clan leader has no special privileges.

They will be thrown into the battlefield at a young age and be pickled by the smell of blood in the air.

But no matter how hard they try, no matter how talented they are, there are always differences between children and adults. They have not yet completely overcome their instinct to survive, and their still alive souls will subconsciously want to escape when faced with sharp injuries.

But most of the time, they simply can't.

Even if they are lucky enough not to be left on the battlefield forever, the war will still tear a piece of bloody flesh from them as a souvenir.

They may become numb or they may be drenched in fear, but either way, their childhood experiences stay with them and influence every choice they make later in life.

They would never actively try to annoy Uchiha Madara.

—because it's like asking them to hug the monster under the bed.

Uchiha Madara has been out of sight for decades, but his influence is still far-reaching. The river in the Valley of the End can bear witness to his power, and the older generation of ninjas also pass on his terror by word of mouth.

They wouldn't really imagine Uchiha Madara's specific strength, just like people usually wouldn't give a specific image to the monster under the bed, but this didn't make the fear any less.

Bai Yun glanced at Uchiha Obito thoughtfully, while Gojo Satoru asked in confusion: "What happened to this plan?"

"Nothing."

Uchiha Obito waved his hands, unwilling to explain further, and just casually continued the previous topic: "You want Uchiha Madara's body, right?"

"I just happen to know the exact location."

After all, he was the one who buried Uchiha Madara himself.

At that time, Uchiha Obito was only thirteen years old, an ordinary rookie ninja. Although his Sharingan jumped to the Mangekyō twice in a row after suffering a great change, the plug-in was just a plug-in after all. His hard strength, vision and mentality could not be completely developed overnight.

Uchiha Madara himself was already exhausted at the time, relying entirely on the chakra supplied by the Outer Path Demon Statue to stay alive. It was too late for him to teach Uchiha Obito from the beginning.

So he simply picked out the important information and used his Sharingan to send a compressed package of Uchiha Madara's life.rar to the other party.

This operation may sound a bit perfunctory, but it was the best choice for both of them at that time.

Afterwards, Uchiha Madara, who had arranged everything, passed away peacefully, and Uchiha Obito took over everything from the other party with new knowledge and excessive influences in his head.

The three of them moved very quickly, and with the help of space ninjutsu, they quickly arrived at the place where Uchiha Madara was buried.

The corpse of every ninja is a treasure trove, not to mention Uchiha Madara, the first person since the Six Paths to open the Rinnegan on his own. Although Uchiha Obito did not formally erect a tombstone for him due to his embarrassing identity, he still took all the necessary protective measures.

This place is remote and deserted. Normally, there may be only a few people passing by in a year. It looks very hidden. Even under the observation of the six eyes, Gojo Satoru did not realize the sense of incongruity brought by the layers of protection measures until he got closer.

Just when he wanted to marvel at the exquisiteness of this technique, he saw Uchiha Obito pause, and after two seconds of silence, he whispered: "Someone has moved this place."

I was assigned to be on duty today, so I am a little short ()

Although I was unable to write during my shift, I thought about the plot for a long time. When I opened the unlimited monthly reading copy, I originally considered that most of Madara-sama's famous scenes were on the battlefield, and those big scenes were just talking about the effect. However, if it really happened in the cursed world, many innocent people would die, which might involve moral issues, so I simply escaped to the illusion.

And because Ah Jin has restrictions on describing the original plot, I can't directly write about the viewing experience. But when I want to use the villains who were cursed back as opponents and recreate the famous scenes, I always feel like I'm using a cannon to kill a mosquito ()

I'll try different ways of writing it!
