Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 253 Strong people attract each other

"What does 'pretending to agree' mean?"

Bai Mo looked at Uchiha Hikaru with a suspicious expression.

How could she remain so calm and composed in the face of such a bizarre situation?

"Agree to it. Anyway, they can't get their 'reward' right now. We still have to wait until we 'execute' all the tailed beasts first."

Once we've transferred all the Tailed Beasts, this world will end, and naturally, we won't need to keep our promise.

So, if we agree, they'll just become our free help. Yeah, that's it.

Uchiha Hikaru gave a serious explanation.

Just like Captain America's line in the second playthrough: "Hail Hydra!"

Just go along with what the other person says for now, since they'll just slip away in the end and won't have to take any responsibility.

This explanation is reasonable.

Just because something is reasonable doesn't mean it's without problems.

It seems like something is missing.

This makes it sound like something Uchiha Hikaru would say.

"I can agree, but did Orochimaru say anything else?"

Bai Mo asked.

"Um……"

Uchiha Hikaru nodded with his lips pursed. "He said that after studying this world, he discovered that the source of all evil comes from the Otsutsuki clan, or rather, from chakra."

The Otsutsuki clan of this world had experienced betrayal before Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Therefore, they modified their own or the Ten-Tails' genes, so that the gravity-related aspects of the split 'offspring' would be amplified, especially for the 'original body'.

The Sage of Six Paths managed to escape Kaguya's gravity and seal her away by using the Earth's gravity from the toads of Mount Myōboku.

His younger brother wasn't so lucky; he too succumbed to Kaguya's "gravity" and chose to go to the moon, hoping to revive her.

The chakra passed down by the Sage of Six Paths has subsequently amplified the 'gravity' of the entire ninja world.

Fury Control is just a derivative; essentially, people in the ninja world are only obsessed with the nine tailed beasts, and other summoning beasts are just substitutes for the tailed beasts.

The root cause is that the entire ninja world is constantly being "attracted" by the tailed beasts, and due to the existence of chakra, this attraction becomes irresistible.

"Oh, so Orochimaru in the limited Tsukuyomi world also discovered 'universal gravitation,' right?"

Bai Mo rolled his eyes.

auditorium.

While transmitting information to Uchiha Hikaru, Orochimaru simultaneously shared his findings with the others.

—I mainly wanted to tell Tobirama Senju, and I explained it to everyone else at the same time to avoid having to explain it again later, which would be troublesome.

"There is no Bai Mojun in the limited Tsukuyomi world, so no matter what I do in this world, I only discover the appearance of 'gravity' and do not see through the appearance that gravity is the appearance of spacetime curvature."

Orochimaru picked up a large, uncut watermelon. "There are two small insects on either side of the watermelon. They start simultaneously from opposite sides. From the insects' perspective, they are moving in a straight line and should never meet each other, but in reality..."

"The insects met."

Because a watermelon has a curved surface.

"same."

Orochimaru threw the watermelon into the air, and it landed back in his hand. "In the watermelon's eyes, he was also walking in a straight line, only spacetime was distorted by the earth."

"Nagato's Rinnegan, the Shinra Tensei, Bansho Ten'in, and Chibaku Tensei used with massive amounts of chakra, and the various proofs within the limited Tsukuyomi world—the greater the mass of an object, the stronger its 'gravity,' or the greater the distortion of the surrounding spacetime..."

"Orochimaru, what exactly are you trying to say? Stop spouting this nonsense. Who will understand this stuff if I put it in a novel? You're going to ruin my bestseller!"

Tsunade, who was taking notes, couldn't help but frown and stop.

"The Otsutsuki clan in the limited Tsukuyomi world amplified this 'gravity,' so why do people become obsessed with the tailed beasts?"

If this kind of phenomenon exists in reality and hasn't been exaggerated, could it explain what "fate" and "destiny" mean?

A powerful person will naturally attract a group of people to their side...

"What about Madara Uchiha?"

Tobirama Senju ruthlessly interrupted Orochimaru's theoretical speculation.

"Because another entity with greater gravitational pull attracted others to it."

Orochimaru glanced at Hashirama Senju standing to the side.

Okay, that's a valid reason.

Tobirama Senju fell silent.

He also wondered where his older brother's personal charisma came from, given his intelligence level.

Orochimaru's theory of gravity does indeed make much more sense.

Not only were others drawn to the eldest brother, but even Madara Uchiha was.

"However, this kind of gravity is not like the limited Tsukuyomi world. It is not amplified, so under normal circumstances, nothing particularly strange will happen, although there may be occasional exceptions."

Orochimaru did not provide any examples because no real examples had yet occurred.

The strange situation naturally refers to the legendary "talking skills".

"My father once said that strong people are attracted to each other. Is that the reason?"

Hashirama Senju recalled his father's words from years ago and seemed lost in thought.

"Don't misunderstand, everyone. Bai Mojun does have a strong 'gravity,' but our interactions are all proactive and artificial."

Yes, Bai Mojun once said, "Man proposes, God disposes."

Our relationship with Bai Mojun is not simply a matter of 'attraction' or 'fate,' but rather a choice we made ourselves.

At this point, Orochimaru pointed at the Allied Shinobi Forces below, "If they are truly affected by 'gravity,' they will be like those people who, after losing most of their tailed beasts, suddenly change their attitude and wish they could tear Bai Mojun to pieces..."

"Shut up, Orochimaru! There are children here, so stop using foul language!"

Upon hearing a certain tone, Tsunade immediately slammed her hand on the table and stopped Orochimaru.

"Okay, let me put it more tactfully. Those people down there are itching for a competition to see who comes out on top."

Orochimaru remained completely calm and readily changed his tune.

"..."

Tsunade was speechless.

She glanced at the group of "kids," and they all instantly understood. Tsunade realized she had worried for nothing.

However, Orochimaru's last words did put them at ease a little.

The idea of ​​gravitational fate is truly disheartening.

To defy gravity, the first level requires flight, the second requires reversing time, and only the third level can break free from fate.

Similarly, Uchiha Hikaru was also relieved.

While Orochimaru was only halfway through his explanation, Uchiha Hikaru was also struggling with his thoughts.

However, she wasn't bothered by whether her encounter with Bai Mo was due to some kind of gravitational destiny; rather, she was wondering whether she should chop up Orochimaru, who was spreading rumors and misleading people, when she got back.

Bai Mo seems to really need Orochimaru's research.

But Orochimaru, who spreads rumors and misleads the public, is too despicable.

That's why she sounded a little strange just now.
