I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 253 A Plan to Turn the Tide

The battle between Uchiha Hikaru and Gojo Satoru caused quite a stir.

Therefore, although the incident occurred in Hokkaido, a region with a low population density, the relevant information was quickly noticed by those with ulterior motives and spread in a small circle among sorcerers and online.

The official explanation for the incident was "a gas explosion caused by a gas pipeline leak."

In response, several senior executives of the gas company even performed a dramatic bowing apology in front of reporters, expressing their regret that their negligence had caused unnecessary trouble to the public.

But this kind of explanation can only fool ordinary people who are unaware of the truth.

For sorcerers in the extraordinary world, the nature of the matter is self-evident—

Whose gas explosion could tear apart the clouds a thousand meters above the ground and turn a large area of ​​the nearby sky a deep purple? This is clearly related to sorcery! Powerful beings have fought here!

"...Could it be a newly appeared, unrecorded, top-tier cursed spirit capable of creating such a commotion?"

"And who is its opponent? Is it another cursed spirit, or a sorcerer from Kanto? Does Gojo Satoru know about this?"

For a time, the entire world of sorcery was filled with unease and conflicting opinions.

The higher-ups in the sorcery field quickly dispatched an investigation team to examine recent travel records in the Hokkaido area. Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer of the time, was also summoned and questioned in detail.

But questioning them was useless.

Firstly, the higher-ups in the jutsu were unaware of the truth; they simply assumed that Gojo Satoru was powerful, well-connected, and had access to information, so he might know something.

Secondly, Gojo Satoru was originally a rebel in the world of jutsu and didn't get along with the higher-ups, so naturally he wouldn't obediently cooperate with them. Just accepting their invitation to go was already giving them face enough; he couldn't possibly reveal the existence of Uchiha Hikaru and the others.

Thirdly...

"Shangri-La" is an ability beyond the comprehension of the sorcery world, and Uchiha Hikaru and others are "visitors from outer space" that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Without seeing them in person, it's impossible for the average person to imagine their existence—in fact, even if they did see them, it wouldn't matter, because Uchiha Hikaru and his group didn't have the words "people from another world" marked on their faces. It's impossible to assume they came from another world just because they were "illegal immigrants."

But Yamato...

Its unusually tall stature and the two horns on its forehead might lead one to mistake it for some kind of special cursed spirit.

However, it's not a big problem.

On the very night they returned from Hokkaido, Uchiha Hikaru used the "Eight Thousand Spears" technique to inject a stream of chakra into Yamato's body, then activated the Transformation Technique, turning her into an ordinary human girl about 1.7 meters tall. This way, even if he went out with her and Esdeath, they wouldn't attract attention.

This scene had a significant impact on Gojo Satoru.

If it weren't for the Six-Eyed's insight telling him that Uchiha Hikaru and the others were indeed human, he would have thought they were cursed spirits or monsters in disguise.

The next few days.

Uchiha Hikaru activated "Shangri-La" twice more, bringing Esdeath and the others together, and finally got to fight Gojo Satoru.

As for the result...

Naturally, Gojo Satoru suffered his third consecutive defeat.

In fact, Gojo Satoru had a chance to win against Yamato, because his "Boundless Void" did control Yamato. However, he underestimated the strength of Armament Haki and chose to use physical techniques instead of "Phantom Style: Zi" to attack Yamato. He failed to defeat the latter immediately and was successfully reversed by Yamato after a few moments.

As for Esdeath...

Having experienced the "Tsukuyomi" baptism multiple times, she was basically immune to the effects of the "Boundless Void." Half a year's worth of ineffective information flooded her mind, but it only paralyzed her for a few seconds—while an ordinary person would be paralyzed for more than two months if they were hit by this trick.

As for "Cang", "He", and "Zi", they are just ordinary moves in the Ice and Snow Demon's hands. Breaking through the defense is already the limit, and to win is like climbing to the sky.

"Not bad ability, but unfortunately not as good as Hikaru. I'll give you three more years, maybe you can create more pressure for me."

Esdeath commented.

Gojo Satoru's expression was extremely complicated upon hearing this.

It's worth mentioning that Uchiha Hikaru chose a battle location farther than Hokkaido, reaching the icy Arctic. So, although the battle was quite large-scale, even destroying two icebergs, it didn't attract much attention. Only a scientific expedition team passing by from dozens of miles away claimed to have photographed the "autumn lights."

In addition, they also discovered a litter of polar bear cubs while clearing the area.

"...What is this thing? A white bear?"

Esdeath frowned slightly.

Yamato crouched down and, like squeezing a chick, lifted the little polar bear by the scruff of its neck, examining it closely: "Wow, is this a species unique to this area of ​​Urokodika? It looks so plump and tiny... Would it be delicious as roast meat?"

"……what?"

A question mark slowly appeared on Uchiha Hikaru's face.

and so……

It's not that I think the little polar bear is cute, but rather that it smells delicious?

Seeing the little creature trembling like a leaf under Yamato's gaze, Uchiha Hikaru sighed: "Let it go, Yamato, it's just a cub... I'll take you somewhere else to eat something better another day."

The world of magic is also a modern society, and the landscape of East Asia is quite prosperous.

Esdeath and Yamato had never been to the world of dragons and children, which share a similar historical background, so this was a good opportunity for them to broaden their horizons.

……

[Bulma: How's it going, Hikaru, and Yamato? Is Hisahito's world fun?]

[Anonymous: Not bad. We've been to quite a few places these past few days, and right now we're having a big meal with Xiao Ai and the others at the Sky Tree~]

[Anonymous: [Eel rice.jpg][Grilled beef steak.jpg][Ise lobster.jpg]...Let me show you~]

Bulma: ?

[Bulma: Posting these kinds of pictures so late at night is so mean!]

[Iron-Headed Kid: This looks delicious, but these dishes must be very expensive, even the tableware is so exquisite.]

[Anonymous: It's a bit expensive... but it's okay.]

The current Uchiha Hikari possesses the entire assets of the Red Ribbon Army and Minister Ernest, plus a gold mine in the Demon Slayer world; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's incredibly wealthy. She could easily give Gojo Satoru a few pounds of gold to handle, and the money she'd receive would be enough for her to feast on Huse with Esdeath and Yamato.

of course……

This statement is actually a bit of an exaggeration.

Both Yamato and Esdeath have large appetites, with Yamato coming from the pirate world where everyone is a glutton. Even if she eats until she's a ball, she can digest it quickly and then immediately move on to the next meal. With her appetite, if she really ate whatever she wanted, she could easily spend millions of yen in no time.

Unless you're going to a buffet.

the other side.

Bulma captured a detail in the photo:

[Bulma: By the way, who's that white-haired guy sitting to Yamato's right? He looks pretty handsome.]

[Anonymous: He's the Gojo-sensei that Hisahito Itadori often mentions; he's been our sparring partner... and guide these past few days.]

[Nameless: By the way, Mr. Gojo has a technique called "No Limits," which can be used to cut and stretch space through precise manipulation of magical power... @Eternal Sister @Mr. Kikyo and Ms. Minato, what are your thoughts on this? Is it possible to reproduce it using Yin-Yang Release or spiritual power?]

[Yongdai Mei: Manipulating space? That sounds pretty amazing...]

[Kikyo: Could you elaborate on the specific details?]

In terms of technology, Bulma is the leader in the chat group. It's hard to find a group member with whom you can have an academic exchange, because nobody really understands those technological things.

But in terms of cultivation.

Minato Namikaze and Kikyo are two big shots in the group, often discussing the cultivation systems of various worlds, as well as the feasibility of merging and reproducing them. Previously, the most discussed topics were Yin Release and spiritual power, as well as "ki" and Haki, but now, "cursed power" from the world of cursed arts has also been added.

In the intervals between the two brainstorming sessions.

Erii tagged Uchiha Hikaru, expressing her somewhat pitiful desire to come and play together, but Uchiha Hikaru politely declined.

Her trip to the world of cursed arts wasn't just for sparring and a vacation; she also needed to find an opportunity to deal with those top-tier cursed spirits. The latter were still somewhat dangerous for Erii. Add to that the time bomb inside Itadori Yuuji's body… it wasn't appropriate to expose Erii to Sukuna so soon.

Erii could only reluctantly agree to this.

[Little Monster: Okay, I'll listen to Light then.]

[Little Monster: By the way, Light, that person named "Xia Mi" sent me a message this morning, saying that the Three Gorges... um, I think that's the name, has been acting strangely lately, and it's related to the whereabouts of a dragon king... She said she wanted me to ask you if you plan to get involved in this matter.]

[Anonymous: The Three Gorges?]

The method of contacting Erii was given to Natsumi by Uchiha Hikaru. In her script, Erii was a saint chosen by her, the "White King," and was responsible for conveying information to her. That's why Natsumi took the initiative to contact Erii when she couldn't find her.

And at this time.

Uchiha Hikaru's eyes flickered, and she understood from Erii's description:

It seems...

Is Constantine about to awaken?

Also.

The last time she went to the Dragon Raja world was in the summer of 2009, and the Constantine resurrection incident happened when Lu Mingfei had just enrolled in Kassel, around September or October. So, considering the timeline, the Constantine storyline should indeed be triggered.

but……

The Tokyo Sisters Exchange Meeting is just around the corner.

Anyway, Constantine won't die anytime soon, and even if he does, he still has his brother Norton. There's plenty of time to obtain the blood sample and related authority of the "Bronze and Fire King" lineage. It's not too late to go check out the Dragon World after things settle down in the Pyromancy World.

At that moment, Uchiha Hikaru gave Erii some instructions, asking her to reply to Natsumi, and then turned his attention back to reality, starting to eat his eel rice.

……

The next day.

Uchiha Hikaru greeted Gojo Satoru and met him again at his mansion in the suburbs of Tokyo. Then, he spent some time telling him about the sisterhood meeting that would be held a few days later.

These words involve spoilers.

Hikaru Uchiha explained that her Sharingan possessed the ability to "foresee the future"—the same explanation she gave when revealing the situation of Namek to the gods.

This isn't really a lie.

Because Uchiha Hikaru can indeed "foresee" the future of these worlds, but not by relying on the Sharingan, but by using the plots of the anime he had personally read in his previous life to "foresee".

Given her previous display of strength and the details she revealed, even if Gojo Satoru had doubts, he had no choice but to seriously consider it.

"...So, the higher-ups in the sorcery world plan to eliminate Itadori Hisahito at this sisterhood exchange meeting, and the assassination plot is being carried out by those students under Rakuganji?"

"Also, will those top-tier cursed spirits take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and steal the Sukuna finger that's being kept by the higher-ups?"

Upon learning this news, Gojo Satoru fell into deep thought.

Uchiha Hikaru took a sip of tea: "So, Mr. Gojo, what do you plan to do to stop them?"

"……No."

"Why try to stop it?"

Gojo Satoru grinned, revealing a smug smile: "Using Yuujin's abilities to completely contain Sukuna's fingers, and then eliminating them once and for all, was my initial plan. It's just that the higher-ups in the jutsu world are cowardly and dare not act freely, which is why they haven't yet produced those fingers. Since that's the case..."

"Why not use these top-tier cursed spirits to force them to submit?"

Su Nuo has a total of twenty fingers.

Three of them have already been eaten by Itadori Yuujin, and the higher-ups in the jutsu world still have five. According to the original plot, these five fingers will be taken away by the real person during the chaos of the exchange meeting, and then fed to Itadori Yuujin all at once during the Shibuya incident, along with the other five fingers they have.

For Gojo Satoru, this was a good opportunity to turn the tables on him.

Otherwise, by the time the higher-ups in the sorcery cautiously finish feeding the remaining five fingers, who knows how long it will take.

and……

Alternatively, we could use the actions of the real people to dig out the five fingers they possess. These top-tier cursed spirits are elusive and have no fixed abode; if we don't play along, it will be extremely difficult to find them on our own.

"It seems we share the same idea."

Uchiha Hikaru smiled slightly, a dangerous glint in his eyes:

"Xiao Ai and I are also eager to see what level Sukuna was at his peak. Since our goals align, let's take this opportunity to dig out all these Sukuna fingers that are scattered around the outside world in one go."
