Chapter 2424

"Principal Gojo?"

Gojo Satoru paused for a moment, but instead of denying Naruto's words, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Hearing the answer, the hesitation on Naruto's face faded, and he explained his purpose: "I want to ask you about the technique."

"Jutsu, have you awakened?" Gojo Satoru asked.

Naruto scratched his face and said, "I guess so. I just ran into some problems."

Gojo Satoru looked at Naruto, waiting for him to continue.

Naruto organized his words and said the bottleneck he encountered: "When using the magic power, I feel like I can... move to a certain place, but... I always feel like something is missing."

"Hmm..." Gojo Satoru also thought about it. Naruto had obviously awakened his technique, but he had not yet fully mastered the rules of the technique, so he could not use it completely. After thinking for a while, he asked, "What do you think is missing?"

From Naruto's description, the opponent is most likely to have awakened the ability to move, and his technique can create a strong attraction, making the distance between multiple objects infinite, and can also produce a teleportation effect in actual combat applications, so in this regard, he can give Naruto some guidance.

"That's it..." Naruto carefully recalled the feeling when he awakened the technique. At that time, he wanted to practice it successfully as soon as possible, go back quickly, and catch up with Sasuke as soon as possible... Then he felt as if he could move instantly, but, "I can't be sure where to go..."

"Are you missing a coordinate anchor point?" Gojo Satoru held his chin up in thought. His teleportation was based on an estimated distance and compressing the space. The principle of Naruto's technique was obviously different from his.

"Coordinates? Anchor points?" Naruto didn't quite understand these two concepts.

"Yes." Gojo Satoru nodded and tapped the table in front of him. "For example, if you are not sure where you want to go, then I will give you a location, such as this table. Now look at this table. Can you imagine yourself moving over there?"

Naruto stared at the table and tried to perform the technique, but ended up shaking his head in vain: "I can't..."

"Why not? The table is right here." Gojo Satoru asked guidingly.

"Because... because there is no connection..." Naruto seemed to have finally grasped the feeling, "I have no connection with that table."

"So that's how it is." Gojo Satoru roughly understood that his teleportation was to determine the distance from the target anchor point, which was the length of a line. He just needed to eliminate this length, but Naruto's technique was not so much about determining the distance to an anchor point as it was about establishing a connection with an anchor point. In this way, even if the anchor point moved, Naruto could teleport to the anchor point at any time through the connection established before. It was more flexible, but relatively more troublesome, because before each use, he had to establish a connection with the target anchor point in advance, otherwise the technique could not be used.

As for the method of establishing a connection, all Gojo Satoru could think of was to use cursed power to leave some kind of mark on the target.

Gojo Satoru explained the solution he had thought of in a way that Naruto could understand.

[Fuck, isn't this the curse version of the Flying Thunder God Technique? ]

[Naruto has indeed inherited the talent of Minato's father]

【The goose has made progress! 】

"What kind of mark do you want to leave?" Naruto still hadn't fully digested it.

"Anything will do, but it'd be best if it's something you're familiar with and can think of quickly," Gojo Satoru said.

Naruto looked at his palm, and he suddenly remembered that when he was practicing the Rasengan, Jiraiya had drawn a vortex mark on his palm, and his name was also Uzumaki Naruto. He felt that there was no name more suitable than the vortex mark.

Naruto told Gojo Satoru about the mark he had thought of, and Gojo Satoru knocked on the table in front of him again, asking Naruto to experiment again.

Naruto walked to the table and put his hand on it. A swirling curse mark was imprinted on it. He looked at Gojo Satoru again and said, "Is this all right?"

Gojo Satoru waved his hand to signal Naruto to move further away and see if he could use a technique to teleport over.

Naruto retreated to the door and prepared to launch his own technique, but Gojo Satoru suddenly stopped him.

"Move back a little and close the door."

"Ah?" Naruto looked back and was about to walk out of the room.

Gojo Satoru nodded, indicating that what he said was correct. He wanted Naruto to teleport from outside the door to inside. Although his teleportation skill was more convenient to use, it had a limitation, that is, there could be no obstacles on the teleportation route. To put it bluntly, he walked in a straight line when he teleported. Naruto, who relied on mark connection for positioning, could break through this limitation and move directly through the space relationship through the mark connection.

Although Naruto didn't quite understand, he still did it. He thought that if it didn't work, the most he could do was bang his head against the door...

Naruto stood outside the door and took a deep breath, sensing the cursed mark he left on the table inside the door, and activated his own awakening technique...

Gojo Satoru took off his blindfold and looked at Naruto who had successfully teleported across space. He suddenly smiled and said, "Now we have to do two things."

"Ah..." Naruto looked at Gojo Satoru in confusion.

"First, you try to teleport someone. Second, use your cursed power mark on Principal Gojo."

[Ahhh, Gojo Neko, are you going to use Flying Thunder God to track down Principal Satoru? ]

[Although the technical college has a barrier restriction, there is no way to track it.]

[Just now, Mingbao successfully teleported across the door. The barrier should be able to be crossed just like the door.]

[It feels very dangerous. What if I hit the barrier? ]

【Then I'll turn into a cat cake】

【……】

[I imagined the scene in my mind. The cat Wu was spread out on the barrier like a cake. Principal Wu passed by and then rolled up the cat cake and took it away...]

[Will it be used as a carpet at home? 】

[In front, I really don’t want to laugh at this moment, but I can’t help it because of the cat cookie carpet.]

Naruto blinked, looked at Gojo Satoru in front of him, and asked uncertainly: "Was it hit you?"

Gojo Satoru took off his eye mask and put it back in place. He picked up the sunglasses on the table and put them on again. He looked at Naruto and repeated, "It's on Principal Gojo."

This way, whether outside the technical high school or inside Hongxing Palace, as long as he leaves a mark on Principal Wu, he can track him at any time. Now that the game has progressed, there are some things he must solve.

Gojo Satoru took Naruto outside to practice the new awakening technique, but Principal Satoru did not show up all day. It was not until the next morning that he appeared with food for the players after disappearing for two days.

[Wuwuwu, Principal Satoru, have you been working overtime these past two days? Why do you look even more haggard?]

[Ever since I heard what the NPC said, and the empty rooms that Player Satoru had seen before, I now look at Principal Satoru with caution. If everyone in the high school was gone, how sad Principal Satoru would be in his heart, but he still has to cheer up and support the chaotic world of curses.]

[Stop it, stop it. Why can't everyone from the technical college work outside? They are just blocked by the technical college's barrier and can't get in.]

[But none of the NPCs mentioned anyone from the academy before. If everyone from the academy was still around, they would have mentioned it.]

[I burst into tears. I thought that in the comics, Teacher Satoru was sealed in the Hell Gate, but it was already tragic enough until I saw Principal Satoru. It was so heartbreaking. I beg the players to think of a way to make Principal Satoru have a good ending.]

Facing the four players' gazes, Ling Yi acted as if nothing had happened in the past two days. After distributing food to the four people, he said, "Today is Saturday, everyone can move freely."

After saying this, he was about to turn around and leave, but was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Wait a minute, Principal Gojo."

Ling Yi paused, and Naruto subconsciously glanced at Gojo Satoru before stepping forward and continuing, "Principal Gojo, I want to ask you about the technique."

"Has Naruto awakened his technique?" The white-haired principal seemed relieved.

"Ah... um... actually I still have some questions..." While speaking, Naruto had already stood in front of Ling Yi and slowly raised a hand, "I would like to ask Principal Gojo to help me with an experiment..."

"Is that so?" Ling Yi tilted his head to one side, his invisible gaze seemed to penetrate the bandage and hit the heart, "What are you feeling guilty about, Naruto?"

Naruto's hand stopped suddenly when it was about to touch Ling Yi. Looking at Ling Yi's calm and peaceful expression, he suddenly felt guilty. Although Jiu Lama had warned him many times that Ling Yi was dangerous, he believed in his own judgment. Moreover, Ling Yi, as the principal here, had taught him many things. Now was not a battle, and Principal Gojo was not an enemy, so even if it was to pass the game, he did not want to use concealment and deception...

"Principal Gojo, I—"

"There is dust." Gojo Satoru interrupted Naruto's words, stepped forward, grabbed Naruto's hand which was about to be withdrawn, and patted Ling Yi on the shoulder.

Naruto: “…”

"Narato-san just saw that there was dust on your clothes, so he wanted to help." Gojo Satoru forcedly explained.

Ling Yi tilted his head, as if looking at the place where he had just been photographed. When he turned back, he thanked Naruto and asked, "Didn't you want to ask me about the technique?"

"I can also help with the technique. If you have anything else to do, please leave first." Gojo Satoru said again.

"Is that so?" Ling Yi turned to Gojo Satoru, his expression difficult to discern, "Do you need me to thank you?"

Gojo Satoru raised the bubble gum Ling Yi brought him and asked, "Should I also say thank you first?"

Ling Yi smiled, said nothing, and left.

[Principal Wuwuwu's smile is so endearing! 】

[Six Eyes has vision, right? He knew that it was the player Wu who was making trouble, but Principal Wu did not pursue the matter.]

[But why should I thank Naruto? ]

[Probably to coordinate the two people’s acting]

[Has Mingbao's Flying Thunder God Mark already been placed on Principal Satoru? Is it time to track Principal Satoru? 】

[I suddenly feel a little nervous. From the description of the NPC, there are suddenly more cursed spirits. It must be very chaotic outside. I hope it doesn’t affect too many ordinary people.]

[It seems to be more serious than expected, otherwise Principal Satoru wouldn’t be so exhausted.]

[Also, Kei and Yuji must be out there exorcising the cursed spirits, so they can’t go back to the high school.]

[Suddenly it occurred to me that if this is the case, then the NPC in the game setting is a student of a technical high school and also a sorcerer. After Principal Wu rescued the person, why did he take him back to the technical high school? Instead of letting them stay outside to help exorcise the cursed spirit? ]

[NPCs are all ghosts, obviously not normal college students]

[But if that's the case, why did Principal Satoru save the goblin? Isn't that contradictory? ]

[Someone has speculated before that ghosts are the dead students of the technical college who turned into ghosts. This can explain why they know about the world of curses, and why Principal Wu saved people.]

[No, all the students from the technical college died. This is too tragic.]

[It's not just the students of the technical high school, right? Doesn't anyone among you doubt Principal Satoru? I don't think Principal Satoru will watch the students of the technical high school perish. For this to happen, Principal Satoru must be gone first.]

[I have analyzed this before, but no one believed it. Besides, only Principal Wu can enter and leave the high school, and there is also the mysterious Hongxing Palace. Aren't these two points worthy of suspicion?]

[What are you doubting? Has your brain been taken over by a bunch of idiots? This kind of development is beyond the description of the underworld. Who else would think this way except the Lord of the Underworld? ]

[I didn't say that, I just expressed my doubts. Don't you think that it's abnormal for the high school to be in such a state and for Principal Wu to still teach students normally? It's even a bit abnormal and morbid...]

[You don't mean to say that Principal Wu has turned evil, do you? ]

[If you follow the general infinite game settings, it is common for the boss to turn evil]

[Everyone, stop arguing. It seems that Principal Satoru has gone to Hongxinggu again. Players Satoru and Naruto are going to use Flying Thunder God to track him.]

[There must be some secret hidden in the Hongxing Palace. If we can get in, we should be able to explain Principal Satoru's behavior.]

[I am a little scared to watch this, please don’t let Principal Wu turn evil! ]

[Me too, Principal Satoru is so good to Player Satoru. If he turns evil, the first person who can't accept it should be Player Satoru.]

Gojo Satoru has convinced Naruto that tracking down Principal Satoru is not only to complete the game, but also to solve the current problem that the high school is trapped in, and it is also to help Principal Satoru.

Naruto agreed to teleport with Gojo Satoru, but before that, Hisoka and Sukuna also came. They were all players who entered the game together. Although there were some fights in the middle, they were generally harmonious. Gojo Satoru did not refuse the two of them. They planned to wait until Ling Yi entered Hongxing Palace, and then use Naruto's technique to track him.

Ling Yi was heading to Hongxing Palace, but an NPC suddenly appeared on the way and stopped him. The reason was that the ghost whose hair was snatched by Sukuna didn't want to live anymore and wanted to die again...

After hearing this, Ling Yi turned around and went to the technical high school dormitory with the NPC. Both the barrage and the four players couldn't help but feel a little anxious about this, especially the three players, who couldn't help but point fingers at Sukuna's actions after learning the reason.

Sukuna didn't care about other people's opinions at all. He put his hands on his chest and still looked like a master.

Here, Ling Yi calmed down the beauty ghost and did not go out anymore. Instead, he stayed in the technical college dormitory and did not go out again until dark. The players were getting impatient waiting, and the live broadcast barrage was refreshing in waves. The audience was also tired, but after confirming that Ling Yi really went to Hongxing Palace, they immediately perked up.

Ling Yi seemed unaware of the several players who were spying on his whereabouts from behind. Like the previous times, he came to the Hongxing Palace alone. The barrier covering the Hongxing Palace was the same as the barrier of the high school and did not cause any obstacles to him. He pushed open the door of the Hongxing Palace easily.

The vermilion door slowly opened, revealing a darkness deeper than the night inside. The white-haired young man walked forward and disappeared into the door as if swallowed by the darkness.

The main hall of Hongxing Palace has a round dome, which appears high and empty. When people walk inside, there will be a deafening echo, but when they stop, they will fall into a frightening silence.

The white-haired young man stood in the center of the hall and broke the silence by speaking softly: "Have you decided?"
