Chapter 77

When Kabuto Yakushi was blocked in the base by Uchiha Obito, he looked very calm. It was not until he saw Bai Yun emerging from behind him that his expression changed slightly.

After discovering Uchiha Madara's body, he thought he had the upper hand in the confrontation with the masked man, but he didn't expect that the other party had a backup plan.

"I didn't expect you to team up with Konoha."

Kabuto Yakushi has been holding Bai Yun back. It is one thing to confront an unidentified masked man, but if he is caught off guard and becomes the enemy of the entire Konoha, the entire Sound Village will be in trouble.

Yakushi Kabuto's fingers trembled slightly, intending to use the prepared semi-finished product to reincarnate Uchiha Madara Uchiha to delay time in case he lost his composure.

"No." Bai Yun shook his head and stated his position directly: "At least today, I am only standing here to represent myself."

Kabuto Yakushi himself was born a spy, and he would not easily believe what others said, but he also did not have the habit of showing off when there was a huge difference in power between them.

So he just nodded, as if accepting this statement, and then asked: "So what are you doing here today?"

"It's simple. Return Uchiha Madara's body, and then you can leave on your own."

Yakushi Kabuto breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, and did not dwell on the fact that he was the one who was driven out. He decisively told a few people the location where he had stored Uchiha Madara's body.

"Do you need me to lead the way for you?"

Bai Yun and the others actually knew the exact location from Jue a long time ago, and they also knew that Pharmacist Dou was not lying.

Although keeping the pharmacist under his nose could effectively prevent the other party from making any small moves, considering that it would be inconvenient to talk with one more person, Bai Yun shook his head and rejected his suggestion.

Kabuto Yakushi had no intention of persisting, and he turned around and left. The remaining people, under the leadership of Jue, did not choose to check Uchiha Madara's body, but went directly to the laboratory where the Earth Reincarnation was studied.

On the way, Uchiha Obito remembered Gojo Satoru's attitude before, and said: "Although I also want to see the good show of my old man, but I suggest you keep your mouth shut."

Gojo Satoru tilted his head: "I think he has a good temper."

"I guess you are the only one in the world who thinks so, besides Hashirama Senju."

"That must be because Senju Hashirama has the same taste as me."

Uchiha Obito sneered: "Senju Hashirama has achieved countless honors in his life, but he has never been called a person of taste."

"Oh?" Gojo Satoru became interested: "Why do you say that?"

Uchiha Obito didn't even turn his head and answered directly: "Because most of the time, Senju Hashirama plays a fool."

The memories that Uchiha Madara passed on to Uchiha Obito were selective, and were basically the information necessary to play him.

Logically speaking, this doesn't actually need to involve Hashirama Senju.

Because their era has passed, most of the people who are still alive now only know a little about the truth of that year through rumors. In addition, the quarrel between the two at the end is the most famous, so no matter what attitude Uchiha Madara, played by Uchiha Obito, has towards Senju Hashirama, it actually makes sense.

But in fact, more than half of the memories that Uchiha Madara passed on to Uchiha Obito contained the shadow of Hashirama Senju.

Just like if he wanted to understand Uchiha Madara, he had to avoid Senju Hashirama.

"In an age when people hate each other, he prayed for peace, relying mainly on strength, but also on much more than strength."

Uchiha Obito recalled the memories inherited from Uchiha Madara, and added his own understanding from time to time: "Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were of similar strength at the time, and they had wins and losses against each other, but they never lost in external battles, and their hands were also stained with blood for their families."

"But the world worships him as a god, and gives Uchiha Madara the name of Shura."

"A big part of the reason is due to Hashirama Senju's personality. He doesn't look like a strong man at all, and sometimes he is even bullied by ordinary people in the casino because of his debts."

Senju Hashirama behaves as if you can easily grab the corner of his clothes, but when it comes to issues of principle, he is more persistent and calm than Uchiha Madara.

This base was not very big. Uchiha Obito just made a casual analysis based on Uchiha Madara's memory and then everyone arrived at the destination.

Uchiha Obito followed the trend and returned to silence. Zetsu, who was walking in the front, pushed open the door, and what came into view was the special-made Obito Tensei lying on the operating table.

He was not wearing armor, and his exposed skin was full of tiny cracks like waterless soil, but the most eye-catching thing was Uchiha Madara's face protruding from his chest.

This instantly aroused Gojo Satoru's vigilance: the last person he knew who grew a second face in a strange position on his body was his student, Yuji Itadori.

A trace of confusion arose in his heart: Could it be that Hashirama Senju has also become a cursed spirit?

Were you too lax in controlling the corpses of sorcerers five hundred years ago? Why do the more powerful ones seem to no longer be considered human beings in the end?

Confused, Gojo Satoru moved closer, trying to observe the wonder before him up close.

The face on the chest was covered with cracks like the rest of Uchiha Madara's body. At this moment, his eyes were tightly closed and his expressionless face made him look like some kind of simple handmade mask rather than the "human facial acne" that appeared on other people.

Naturally, Kabuto Yakushi would not have the leisure to specially mold a face for Hashirama Senju's cells, so the face that appeared on Uchiha Madara was indeed grown by those cells themselves, just like the bust protruding from the Outer Path Demon Statue, once again proving how evil Hashirama Senju is.

Moreover, although Gojo Satoru cannot see the specific flow of cursed energy in this body because Uchiha Madara has not yet "come back to life", based on the data currently obtained from the Six Eyes, these Wood Release cells that were deliberately transplanted in large quantities by Kabuto Yakushi have become the only cursed energy fluctuations that can be captured.

This cursed energy has an almost abnormal vitality, like a seed planted in this body, and at the same time it makes Gojo Satoru feel a creepy sense of familiarity.

This is the aura of Zetsu, the aura of half of Uchiha Obito's body... and also the aura of the sacred tree.

Sacred tree...

Just when Gojo Satoru was lost in thought, Uchiha Obito stepped forward, formed seals with his hands, and made a gesture as if to wake someone up.

Bai Yun was originally planning to open both, but at this moment he discovered that Uchiha Obito's Sharingan was operating at a very fast speed.

Although the Sharingan is usually used for intimidation, it sometimes appears uncontrollably depending on the Uchiha's mood, as if trying to express the inner thoughts of their masters with twisted personalities.

Now it was clear that Uchiha Obito had no one to intimidate, so it could only be because of the latter. Bai Yun instantly became alert, came to the other side, put his hand on the other side, and tried to stop him: "What do you want to do?"

Uchiha Obito glanced at him. His expression could not be seen clearly because of the mask, but his voice revealed judgment: "Do what I should do."

Bai Yun didn't quite understand what Uchiha Obito was trying to do, but his intuition told him that it was probably not a good thing, so he increased the strength in his hands, trying to use this method to make the other party understand his position.

But no matter what decision Uchiha Obito had secretly made before, he had made up his mind. The moment he looked at Bai Yun, the magatama in his eyes began to spin rapidly, and the rarely used illusion technique immediately attacked Bai Yun's mind.

——What does it feel like to be caught in an illusion again?

It's like creating a deeper dream within a dream. It's supposed to be very unstable and you can break away from it at any time.

But for some reason, when Bai Yun was trying to escape the illusion, his system, or his vest, resonated with the illusion in front of him.

After performing the illusion, Uchiha Obito suffered the backlash. He tilted his head back, as if he suddenly froze. Bai Yun didn't know what had happened to him at first, until a familiar split screen suddenly appeared on the system interface.

Uchiha Obito's face appeared on both screens above.

At the critical moment, although Bai Yun controlled himself from using Uchiha Madara's alias, he still subconsciously opened the alias of "Uchiha Obito".

And for some incomprehensible reasons, this vest directly possessed the "homosexual" in the dream.

After seeing another self, Uchiha Obito was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and truly accepted the fact that the world he lived in was false.

A sense of relief rose in his heart. At the same time, Uchiha Obito finally told him everything he knew without reservation.

Uchiha Obito did think about what Bai Yun discussed with him, regarding the abnormal problems in this world, and also thought of some countermeasures.

But no matter which one, they can't get around the point of becoming the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails.

Bai Yun listened from the side and felt that this was indeed a solution.

The system's points had long since overflowed, and the drawn Rinnegan was still lying in the system's warehouse.

However, I don’t know if it was influenced by Uchiha Obito, Bai Yun felt that everything he had done was worth it.

Under the mask, Uchiha Obito actually had a transplanted Sharingan that began to glow purple, and the cursed energy around him suddenly began to surge towards him as if being sucked away, wrapping him into a grayish-white cocoon.

The cocoon broke much faster than anyone expected.

The next second, the system interface screen was divided into three parts.

On the operating table, the position of Hashirama Senju's face began to deform and swell, and it grew rapidly as if sacrificing Uchiha Madara.

Just like he was a real seed.

A familiar giant tree broke through the base, stretching its trunk stubbornly. The originally specially reinforced wall was easily squeezed open like tofu, and the creaking and breaking sound made people subconsciously want to avoid the foreseeable collapse that followed.

It is clearly daytime now, but in the blink of an eye, the sky seems to turn pitch black from time to time.

Right next to this new emergence, another giant tree looms, and the buds on its head are beginning to wither again.

Gojo Satoru could see the real "Uchiha Madara" floating nearby, releasing his seals with a calm expression, as if he was not surprised by the developments before his eyes.

The same is true for Uchiha Obito. The gap between the two sacred trees is getting smaller and smaller, and the buildings on the ground are gradually showing double images, half belonging to the modern world and the other half belonging to the illusion.

Gojo Satoru instantly realized how familiar the scene before him was: it was somewhat similar to the previous battle between Sukuna and Uchiha Madara.

—When similar, but not identical, open domains overlap.

Buildings in the field now have the possibility of being "moved".

Everywhere he looked was being reorganized; familiar, unfamiliar, and even redundant buildings appeared one by one on the streets that Gojo Satoru was originally familiar with.

At this moment, Gojo Satoru's soul seemed to float to a faraway place. In a startling glance, he seemed to see the changes in the entire world. It was a huge difference that could drive many geographers crazy, and it was a wonderful change that required the world map to be redrawn.

Before Gojo Satoru could take a closer look, the two sacred trees from different time and space finally overlapped.

From then on, the world began to merge.

This paragraph was indeed not written smoothly. I wanted to start over quickly, so it might seem a bit rushed in the end.

After all, I have edited too much before. If I continue to expand on this scale, I will have to use a lot of words to fix the bugs.

But the foreshadowing is still there, so it's not a big problem if we write about it bit by bit.

PS: Because the villains are over, I may write about the daily life of the Uchiha family and some pretentious literature, but I just love reading it ()
