Chapter 89

"I have made up my mind."

Although it was not clear where Okkotsu's worry came from, the old woman did not dwell too much on such details.

"Young man, you don't understand. Some people will go deep into your soul, and when they leave, they will take a part of your soul with them."

The old woman shook her head, looked into the distance, and said with a sigh: "You are no longer complete. In the days to come, even if you do the same things as before, you will always feel empty inside."

Otkotsu Yuta did have a similar experience, but it was not exactly the same.

When he was a child, in order to avoid the situation the old woman described, he subconsciously cursed Riko.

But in the years that followed, that initial fear of loss was gradually replaced by other emotions.

When he finally separated from Sarikatsu, Otsukotsu Yuta still made a shell of Sarikatsu and placed an AI inside it, pretending that everything was the same as before, but it was actually more like a habit rather than an escape from the world.

For this reason, when he heard the old woman's words, Otkotsu Kyouta did not think of himself, but immediately matched it with the story of his ancestors.

In Otkotsu Yuta's opinion, every word the old woman said was a thorn in the side of "Hatake Kakashi".

After all, whether it was the glorious achievements of the previous Six Eyes who was wiped out for the Sharingan, or his three-digit age in at least the first four decades... the entire existence of "Hatake Kakashi" seemed to be clamoring about the fact that he could not let go of the past.

As for his recent actions... rather than saying that "Hatake Kakashi" has come to terms with it, it would be better to say that he has completely messed up.

As a bystander, Okkotsu Yuta felt it was a pity, so he wanted to intervene and stop it.

The two have been entangled for a lifetime, and have made each other what they are today.

Now that they have left their familiar environment, without the constraints of the times, and free from the oppression of identity and responsibility, they should have been given a chance to start over as pure "Hatake Kakashi" and "Uchiha Obito".

If everything ended as hastily as it is now, then what would be the point of all the hardships they had experienced?

The more Okkotsu Yuta thought about it, the sadder he became. His silence even made the old woman fall into deep thought.

Although he had been a rebellious child, the kind-hearted old lady asked cautiously, "Young man, have you encountered anything recently?"

"Old woman." Otsukota was expectant and said, "Do you think people can defy fate?"

Old woman: “…………?”

She was confused for a moment: "Young man, didn't you suddenly jump out and try to convince me?"

Why do I feel like you are even more pessimistic than me?

After hearing this, Otsutsuki Yuta secretly glanced at "Hatake Kakashi". The mask and eye patch combination made the other party's emotions hidden very well, and after noticing his gaze, he subconsciously turned his head to look back.

After realizing that the sight came from Okkotsu Kyouta, "Hatake Kakashi" squinted and smiled.

The young special sorcerer slowly closed his eyes upon seeing this.

Admittedly, it was normal for the other party, as an experienced special-class, to notice his sight; indeed, people have strong adaptability, and it is impossible for "Hatake Kakashi" to always act as if he was seeing him for the first time when they met unexpectedly, and act in a state of disarray every time he sees "Uchiha Obito".

But you can't just remain silent like you are doing now, as if "Uchiha Obito" doesn't exist at all, right?

All of Okkotsu Yuta's worries were reflected on his face. Bai Yun, who had been watching the whole process, looked at his expression and for a moment was a little unsure whether this was Okkotsu Yuta's new way of persuasion or if the child really had encountered something recently.

Bai Yun quickly cheered up after a flash of curiosity in his heart. He quickly sorted out the information gap between the two sides in his mind and quickly adjusted his attitude.

He raised his chin and asked, "Why are you here?"

After hearing this, Gojo Satoru looked directly at "Hatake Kakashi".

Bai Yun certainly noticed the other party's little move, but he just thought that Gojo Satoru thought it would be more appropriate to let two familiar people talk, so he didn't think much about it and began to ask himself: "We accepted the commission from the old woman's son to ensure her safety."

After saying this, Bai Yun was silent for a moment.

Although he is more familiar with double-opening than before, he has no experience of acting with himself. After answering the question, he doesn't know how to continue smoothly.

Before the atmosphere on the scene became weird because of this short period of silence, Bai Yun tried hard to ask a question: "What about you?"

"What brings you here?"

"She wants to enter the area of ​​the sacred tree."

Bai Yun talked to himself dryly, and the content gradually became concise, as if this was enough to explain everything.

But in fact, the connection between "Uchiha Obito" and the Divine Tree had never been made public before today, and now that it was suddenly revealed, "Hatake Kakashi" did not look surprised at all, and it was obvious that he had guessed this a long time ago.

The atmosphere was awkward but also a little tacit. After two seconds of silence, Gojo Satoru smiled, saying with a hint of sarcasm, "So you were guarding the gate here when you were missing."

Gojo Satoru saw the cursed spirit glance at him, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to it: "Whatever you say."

While they were exchanging information, the old lady comforted Yuta Okkotsu. When they all came forward, Bai Yun, who had finally found a chance to escape from the vortex of talking to herself, immediately asked her own question: "Old lady, where did you get the explosives?"

"Of course I bought it."

With so many people present, and since she was caught in the act, the old woman realized that she would not be able to proceed according to her original plan, so she answered unexpectedly readily.

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows: "Is this something you can just buy casually?"

He didn't even know where to get bombs - firstly, bombs were useless to him, so Gojo Satoru had never paid any attention to them; secondly, as long as he asked, someone would always give him everything he wanted.

But even so, he knew that for ordinary people, this was something they would never be able to experience in their lifetime.

There are even greater doubts behind this incident.

After repeated questioning by several people, and perhaps with the help of her son's sentiments, she finally gave in and explained: "In fact, there are quite a few people who have the same idea as me. At first, we just hoped that the team leader could come up with a plan that we could participate in, but we were rejected."

"Later, someone from the team that was also rejected suddenly said he could get something and made the proposal I just mentioned."

The old woman hesitated for a long time before finally telling him everything: "We agreed to act together at the same time but in different places. This way, the people sent to arrest us would be too busy to do anything. There would always be a lucky person who would overcome all the difficulties and successfully achieve his goal."

Gojo Satoru briefly summarized: "That is to say, there are still many teams hiding in unknown locations, preparing explosives, and ready to take action against the wall?"

The old woman nodded: "That's about it."

Bai Yun was a little shocked after hearing this: "...You went to the sacred tree to make a wish, right?"

That means you really believe this...then why are you making such a big deal out of it?

Is this how you treat your faith?

In Bai Yun's opinion, the fact that the area where the sacred tree is located is cordoned off is a completely good thing. The sacred tree not only continues to provide Bai Yun with points (although most of them are snatched away by the world consciousness before they are obtained), but it also continues to absorb the cursed power in the air all the time, and in this way reduces the birth of curses.

If there were no fence, many people would definitely approach the sacred tree out of a subconscious desire for it. With varying moral standards, who knows what might happen.

Although the characteristics of the sacred tree make it not so easy to be damaged, the people who rush forward will not be treated so well. When the number of people who die because of the sacred tree reaches a certain level, the authorities will sooner or later be alarmed.

By the way, with the help of the science BUFF, Bai Yun feels that this day is not far away.

And he didn't want to try whether the temperature of the shells was high enough to burn the sacred tree.

Bai Yun wanted to ask further questions, but in order to avoid leaks after being caught, they did not reveal their locations to each other, which also brought certain difficulties to Bai Yun and his team's subsequent work.

Although Gojo Satoru and his companions are not yet clear about the attraction of the Divine Tree to other people, they know that the Divine Tree belongs to "Uchiha Madara", and this guy is not easy to mess with.

Firing fireworks in a circle outside his house was clearly an extremely effective way to irritate Uchiha Madara, and anyone with a sound mind would definitely try to stop it.

Although we have a wall as our goal, it will not be easy to find since it surrounds the entire city.

For the sake of efficiency, the best way is still to divide into groups. This time, Bai Yun was careful not to take the wrong number on purpose, and there was no oolong of still walking in one direction after dividing into groups. However, the pause of less than a second for extra thinking still caught the attention of those who were paying attention.

This avoidance of suspicion in their relationship somehow touched Gojo Satoru and reminded him of his own youth.

He also had good friends at the beginning, and they also broke up.

Of course, the relationship between Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru was not as awkward as the two people in front of him, but he could still see his own shadow in their interaction.

That seemed like the kind of life that Gojo Satoru might have chosen, and it was sliding towards an end that he didn't want to see.

Gojo Satoru let out a sigh of relief, strode forward, and while the others were working hard and not paying attention, he grabbed the arm of "Uchiha Obito".

"I don't know if everyone will lose motivation to live after realizing their wish, but I urge you to cheer up."

Bai Yun didn't know why this guy suddenly said that, and was a little confused for a moment: "...what?"

Gojo Satoru didn't seem to notice Bai Yun's confusion at all, and said to himself: "'Hatake Kakashi' doesn't have much time left. If you don't want to die with him, you'd better do something."

Bai Yun: “…………?”

ah???

What the hell are you talking about!??
