Although this relic hidden in the valley was hard to find, once found, it surprisingly did not have as many traps and mechanisms as imagined.
There's a sense of weird perfunctoryness: just do it for the sake of doing it, and you'll get it.
It was also because of this that the group was able to preserve all the mechanical projects intact after entering.
Not only the mechanical projects, but even some things that were probably murals on it were displayed in front of the people intactly.
that is……
“So people were emphasizing abstraction thousands of years ago.”
The ones in the front are fine, but the further you go inside, the more those lines look like 'circuits' rather than 'murals'.
When I first came in, I could see some people wearing white robes.
Now it looks like various interlaced lines.
"The aesthetic taste of our ancestors was truly fashionable."
Ugetsu sighed.
But the others, mainly Orochimaru and Obito, two ninjas with excellent technical skills, showed strange and thoughtful expressions.
"Give us some time, maybe we can decipher the contents."
“…Is there any content to this?”
Isn't it an abstract mural?
"It looks similar to some of the stuff I've come across before."
Orochimaru explained succinctly.
Then he and Beiluhu went aside to discuss in whispers.
It’s not that he is arrogant, but simply... Before the code is cracked, explaining it to laymen is just a waste of time.
Since they are all contents that I don’t understand, it’s better to skip unnecessary explanations and just wait for the results.
In fact, after several mature and comfortable collaborations in the Ugetsu Shop, Orochimaru is not opposed to working with other people.
But the prerequisite is that you have to be knowledgeable about the business.
Laymen, such as Jiraiya...
Then he should do it himself.
Faced with Orochimaru and Hiruzen's "highly intelligent people have their own barriers", no one else cared.
After all, this is not the first time.
Rather than going there yourself and asking for trouble, it is better to just be patient and wait for the result.
Especially Orochimaru's old teammate Jiraiya.
Almost the moment Orochimaru indicated that he was going to work, he turned around to explore other areas.
To be honest, he was quite interested in this place.
Although there is no definite evidence to prove this, he always feels that this place is a bit like the territory of the Chonghe Chongmo Immortal.
It's not about things that are visible to the naked eye, such as decorative style.
It's about the atmosphere here, or a feeling.
Huh?
Jiraiya blinked.
It is said that the Chonghe Chongmo Immortal has also lived for a thousand years... Maybe he is a contemporary of the person who created this relic?
Maybe some contemporary features?
After all, there is no need for any renovation or improvement to the Myoboku Mountain of the Chonghe Chongmo Immortal, so it should still be in its original state a thousand years ago.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya couldn't help himself.
He decided to go exploring.
See if there is anything familiar to you.
Although the location is very difficult to find, there are a lot of tricks outside.
But the scale of this relic is actually not very large.
It wasn't long before Jiraiya was close to the entrance.
On the wall nearby are the earliest 'murals' I've seen.
It's probably some linear figures facing the moon or the sun - in short, it's a picture of a round sphere in the sky doing something.
If we call it a banquet, the scene becomes more serious.
But if it was a worship, then these people did not bend over - and of course there were no offerings.
If you must associate it.
Jiraiya felt that this was more like a farewell.
Send some people to the moon...
These people in white clothes are not completely without anything.
These are probably the "things" that people carry on their backs and shoulders, and they are somewhat similar to the bags people carry when moving.
For example, this bag looks a bit like clothes, and that bag looks a bit like a pot...
After this analysis, it seems to make sense.
Just recalling the appearance of the moon, Jiraiya suddenly burst out laughing.
For a moment he didn't know whether his imagination was too big or the ancients thousands of years ago were too imaginative.
After all, how could there be people on the moon?
Rather than saying it is moving to the moon, it would be more like a farewell under the bright moon at night.
But this is a good idea.
He took out his notebook and wrote two things.
The enemy he wrote in "Young Hero" is on the moon.
Now is a good time to add some more.
For example... people who lived on this planet thousands of years ago immigrated to the moon, and then as time went by, both sides forgot about each other.
The people living on this planet do not remember their fellow humans who went to the moon.
As for the people on the moon, because they have lived and grown up on the moon for thousands of years, they have long forgotten that they were immigrants from the planets below and simply consider themselves as the people of the moon.
Huh?
Is this what I originally set up?
Jiraiya suddenly raised the hand holding the pen and scratched the back of his head.
He couldn't quite remember whether he had originally set the characters to be residents of the moon or people from outer space.
But it doesn’t matter, you can write down your inspiration first.
By then, it will be easy to decide whether to write the second part of "Young Heroes" or start another one... If it doesn't work out, it would be nice to use it when writing "Ninja Girl".
The shadow of the sacred tree is also from a thousand years ago (according to the setting), and these ruins are also from a thousand years ago. Well, they can be totally linked!
Jiraiya wrote for a while quickly, writing something that only he could understand, and then closed the notebook with satisfaction.
But then again…
What's this?
Jiraiya looked at the moon in the latter picture.
Although they are all traces drawn by lines, I always feel that...
“It seems to be glowing.”
Jiraiya thought as he raised his hand and touched it.
Then he felt a flash before his eyes and lost consciousness.
It was several hours later when Orochimaru noticed that no one except himself and Hiruko was moving.
Although Hiruko is not as good as himself and Tsunade in fighting.
But the brain still works well.
Especially since Hiruko had been searching for various ninjutsu of the past and information on extinct bloodline limit ninja clans in order to complete his "Kimetsu no Jutsu" over the years, he also mastered a lot of information related to the past.
When the two of them come together, it's like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and they start a happy brainstorming session on the spot.
—until I noticed how quiet it was.
"So I think this might be an area with a specific function."
"It's not a place where ancient people lived, nor is it a place where daimyo lived, like a castle tower. What's wrong with it?"
I found that Orochimaru did not give it immediately.
In response, Beiluohu also calmed down.
He looked at Orochimaru and found that he was looking around seriously.
"Don't you think it's too quiet?"
Let’s not talk about Kirabi for now.
Jiraiya has never been someone who can stay quiet for so long.
After hearing what Orochimaru said, Obito restrained his previous fanatical expression and began to look around.
There have been no changes in the area where they are located.
But other areas, especially near the entrance, were shrouded in a faint light.
Although there is no danger in sight...
The two looked at each other, and then summoned their spirit beasts at the same time. The two spirit beasts obediently dived into the light mist.
"What did you see?"
“…Nothing.”
The snake-shaped summoning beast controlled by Orochimaru responded in the light mist.
To the psychic beast, this is an area covered by light that emanates from the lines of the wall.
Can't notice anything special.
It wandered around quickly and soon found the people who disappeared in the light fog.
Not one less.
It's just that these people all seemed to be asleep.
There is a white-haired man at the door.
At the corner, there was a young boy hugging another boy leaning in front.
In the further corner, there was a brown-skinned man sitting motionless facing the wall.
"Where's your spirit animal?"
Orochimaru asked Obito who was standing beside him.
Beiluhu's summoned beast is different from other summoned beasts in that it can mimic humans.
Whether as a 'bait' or an 'explorer', they both possess 'functions' that are better and closer to humans.
"he……"
Beiliuhu frowned, he didn't know how to describe it for a moment.
Because according to the 'perception' transmitted from his spiritual beast, he seemed to see some kind of 'picture'.
No, it should be said that after he looked carefully, he found that he seemed to have merged into a certain space gate.
"I seem to understand why those people fainted in it."
Based on the clues given by the summoned beast, Beiluohu quickly analyzed the reason.
“Those people must have been pulled into some fantasy.”
"There is no malice, no attack power... it is just a simple display of a scene.
fantasy."
As Beiluhu spoke, a hint of excitement appeared on his pale face.
"I decided to go check it out - maybe this can help us better understand the function of this relic."
When he said this, Beiliuhu no longer cared about whether it was dangerous or not.
Life is full of dangers.
After all, you could choke to death even if you drink water.
In comparison, exploring the unknown power from thousands of years ago is the most important thing now.
Of course, he is not completely reckless.
"If neither of us wake up later, then you can wake up the others first. As long as I don't show any signs of trouble, don't touch me."
He commanded with the expression of a serious scientist.
"Wait for me to wake up naturally, so that we can measure the exact time gate of coma, and then we can compare the time gate elapsed in the illusion world."
Orochimaru immediately forgot what he had prepared to say.
Because he felt that what Beiliuhu said made a lot of sense.
Exploration requires such a rigorous attitude and consideration.
So he nodded:
"Go ahead, I'll watch over you."
His summoned animal is a snake, which is not affected by this illusion and can completely drag people out and revive them when their condition is unstable.
In fact, considering individual differences, it is better to have two or three samples... But considering that someone must be left outside to control the experiment and ensure safety, we can only be a little particular.
Orochimaru shook his head regretfully.
It’s a pity that so few people came.
After a brief handover with Orochimaru, Hokage resolutely rushed into the light fog.
He wanted to find the key to this technology and see what people thousands of years ago had left behind.
At first, I just felt confused.
There was faint light and mist everywhere, as if even the sense of space door had disappeared.
Then it was as if I had passed through something and stood in a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Here, he saw the figures of those who were unconscious.
They also discovered the reason why they fell into a coma and have not woken up yet.
He saw 'people' moving alive in the ruins.
——Of course, these are not people who are still alive here, but they are left by people who once used this ruins.
image.
In the video, those wearing white clothes are saying 'goodbye' to another group of people wearing similar clothes.
Those people not only carried large and small bags of gifts, but also brought animals such as pigs, cows, and sheep.
It looks like the whole family is going to move, or go to a faraway place.
People on both sides are bidding farewell reluctantly.
The audio-visual device did not provide any sound, so Beiliuhu did not know what these people said.
But judging from the expressions and actions, it was a very friendly farewell.
It’s just that the direction those people ‘left’ was not towards some faraway place.
But...
The 'moon' in the sky.
Beiluohu, along with the others, watched as they stood on a strange device.
Then, a 'channel' leading to the moon appeared in this device, and those people in white who 'left' left through this channel.
Beiliuhu could not be sure that they had definitely gone to the moon - after all, he had not yet been to the moon to investigate and see the descendants of these people or the relics and traces they left behind.
It is not rigorous to make a statement without verification.
But according to what this video shows.
At least it is inseparable from the moon - whether they actually went to the moon or simply borrowed the power of the moon to reach another place.
There was just one thing that made Beiliuhu hold his breath and widen his eyes.
Because among those who left, the leader was the only one whose face could be seen clearly in the blurry image.
...It was a pair of 'white eyes'.
When talking about the 'Baigan', we have to mention the 'Hyuga' family of Konoha.
As one of the 'three great eye techniques', the Hyuga with the Byakugan theoretically has the same status as the Uchiha with the 'Sharingan'.
But the reality is not like this.
Whether in reputation, strength, or even the power of the Byakugan, they are far weaker than the Uchiha.
During the Warring States period, those who stood at the top were 'Senju', 'Uchiha' and Hagoromo.
After the establishment of the Ninja Village after the Warring States Period, the pillars of Konoha were also "Senju" and "Uchiha".
Is the Hyuga clan strong?
Of course it is strong.
The Byakugan is also an excellent bloodline limit coveted by countless people.
There are even many who simply roll their eyes.
For this purpose, he transplanted the Byakugan to gain this power.
But the strange thing is that the Byakugan has never been as famous and feared as the Sharingan.
So much so that in many judgments, the Sharingan and the Byakugan are not considered to be in the same tier.
But with this understanding, I suddenly saw the images of the white eyes and the moon.
So the real owner of the Byakugan has already immigrated to the moon (hypothesis), and what was left behind was the former branch family, or the flawed bloodline limit?
If this is the case, then it can also explain why the Byakugan cannot be compared with the Uchiha, who are also one of the "Three Great Eye Techniques", in terms of power and reputation.
Because the white eyes of today have had flaws thousands of years ago, or simply were the leftovers.
No, wait.
Beiliu called out and suddenly raised his head.
He felt that he was thinking too dogmatically.
——Why can’t you think about it the other way around?
It's not that they are powerful and went to the moon, but that they are already residents of the moon, and they just have connection and communication with the planet where they grow up at this moment?
After all, no one said that their "farewell" must mean that these people with white eyes will migrate from this planet to the moon, right?
It is entirely possible that they came to this planet to communicate and then brought back supplies.
If there was intermarriage, some of the blood would remain and form the Hyuga clan in the future...
This totally explains it!
This is a great discovery.
If there really were people on the moon.
That may very well be another world that is completely different from what you know.
What kind of power would there be in such a world?
Beiliuhu didn't know, but he was extremely excited.
marvelous.
Joining Yuyue Store is really the wisest decision I have made in these years.
Not only can many of the devices that you once coveted be used freely.
And discovered such a top-secret thing.
If only I could obtain the power of the Moon People...
He became so excited that even his breathing in the illusion became much heavier.
If I could really apologize to the Hyuga ancestors, I would have the power.
I guess surpassing Orochimaru and Tsunade is no longer a dream!
Just imagining such a scene, he
I was so excited that I felt like my body was burning.
Considering that it was Orochimaru and the others who dragged him to the Ugetsu Shop, Higurashi even felt that he could show mercy and let them use eight or ten moves.
...No, that's not right.
Giving in moves is one thing, but it is not a reward.
Beiliuhu felt that before that, he should perhaps repay them first.
It would be better if we all met together and held more work exchange meetings.
Find out how to get your work done better and more efficiently.
The others who saw this scene in the illusion were naturally shocked as well.
No one expected that this was an era that was mysterious but quite primitive in people's perception - there was not even technology like television and cameras.
People can actually reach the moon, or communicate with the inhabitants of the moon.
All this directly shattered Yu Yue's three views.
"The moon? Can people live there?"
The moon is only a fraction of the weight of the earth, and even without rounding it off, it is equal to zero, and there is no soil for planting? ? ?
No, that's not right. After all, that was just her wishful thinking.
Yu Yue has always felt that this world is magical.
Including things like breaking a mountain wall with one punch and people being able to run on water.
There are also tailed beasts whose classification is unknown, and sealing techniques that seem to have corresponding effects can be found whenever needed.
But this time, it was a devastating blow to her three views and common sense.
——Even if Jiraiya’s novel sets up a villain from the moon, that is just a fantasy.
Because I don't think it's possible, I can let my imagination run wild.
This is really something I never, ever expected.
After waking up, Yu Yue rubbed his aching head and became dazed.
I didn't even notice what posture I was in at the moment.
She was leaning on the boy at this time.
It should be said that when the boy was suddenly pulled into the illusion, he instinctively protected her, and then the two of them fell down in this posture.
If no one moves, nature will wake up in the same position.
To be honest, Uchiha Shisui was also shocked.
But compared to what was shown in the illusion, he was more concerned about whether Miss Ugetsu was injured.
After making sure that Yu Yue was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and recalled
Recalling the scene he had seen in that vision.
Although the illusion showed a plot, it was not long, and after it ended, people quickly regained consciousness.
Only Jiraiya, not sure if it was because he was too close or because he was the trigger, was still lying on the ground with his head tilted back, unconscious.
Beiluohu tried calling him several times but failed to wake him up.
And Jiraiya's condition feels more like 'sleeping' than 'coma'.
Deeply asleep, but cannot be awakened.
"What's wrong?"
Orochimaru walked over after checking the situation of the others.
"Jiraiya can't be woken up."
Beiluhu, dressed in white, was lost in thought.
"So I'm thinking about whether I should use some violent means to wake him up."
It's just that it's not clear whether the illusion will have an impact on people, and it's not sure whether the violent awakening will leave any sequelae...
Orochimaru blinked after hearing that.
"Is that all?"
"Do you have a solution?"
Bei Liuhu raised an eyebrow.
Although he always felt that he couldn't hold his head up in front of Orochimaru, he didn't think that in such an emergency, the other party could really find a better way than himself.
"I don't know if this is a solution."
Orochimaru grabbed Jiraiya's clothes and pulled him up, then whispered in his ear:
"Your manuscript was burned."
What manuscript?
Just when Beiluo was confused and couldn't figure out what the other party meant.
Jiraiya suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up with a somersault.
"What!?"
"who!?"
His chaotic brain had not yet found its proper logical thinking, and the words "your manuscript was burned" kept echoing in Jiraiya's mind.
Over and over again.
The whole person was breathing heavily like an angry bull.
Do you know how hard I worked to write that manuscript?
You can neither look at beautiful women nor go out for drinks and fun.
If I have too much free time, I will even be watched by my master's wife... Do you know how hard it is to write this manuscript?
You just burn! ???
"I'll just..."
Orochimaru just shrugged and said, "See, he's awake now, isn't he?"
Even if it's just for the sake of money, Kakuzu cares very much about Uchiha Itachi.
After all, this is a genius who can do the work of five people.
So he found an opportunity and took the initiative to show concern:
"Are you worried about anything recently?"
Although Uchiha seemed to have regained his speed on the surface, a veteran like Kakuzu could still tell at a glance whether he was working wholeheartedly or slacking off.
He didn't want a promising career to go wrong.
Not only would Uchiha and Miss Ugetsu cause trouble for him, even he himself would not be able to accept that.
At first, Uchiha Itachi just shook his head to indicate that it was okay.
But with Kakuzu's continued concern, and Uchiha Itachi's discovery that when Kakuzu was present, he could no longer feel the sticky gaze.
The boy finally spoke hesitantly.
"I have a friend who..."
Although he wanted to say something, his trust in Kakuzu was not as high as that in Ugetsu.
Besides, he didn't want outsiders to know about this matter.
I can only make friends out of nothing.
"…That's about it. Do you have any solution, Kakuzu-san?"
He vaguely mentioned that his friend was having trouble with abnormalities.
Not that I really want a specific solution - after all, that's perverted.
It’s just that Kakuzu has lived for so long that he has the experience and the strength.
It should be able to provide him with some help in thinking.
When Uchiha Itachi thought of this, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
And Kakuzu did not disappoint him, and responded almost immediately:
"Who are you, this pervert who's pestering your friend? You said you'd support your friend no matter what, right?"
"Yes."
"That's easy."
Kakuzu said directly that he didn't think this was a problem at all.
I even think it’s a good thing.
"Why don't you let this guy work for your friend?"!
