"Hurry up and show your true skills. This meaningless barrier really makes me feel underestimated."
Hatake Satoru extended a hand and lightly tapped the barrier. Instantly, the barrier shattered like glass, scattering into countless light particles and finally dissipating into the air.
"Hatake Satoru, long time no see."
At this moment, a playful voice suddenly came from behind Hatake Satoru. Hearing this voice, Hatake Satoru's body trembled, and a surprised expression appeared on his face. He turned around to see a white-haired man with a mischievous smile, raising his hand to greet him.
The three Otsutsuki members around him had all disappeared.
"Genjutsu?"
Hatake Satoru immediately took off his blindfold, frowned, and observed the newcomer.
As someone who shouldn't exist in this world, appearing in front of him now, Hatake Satoru instantly knew that the person he saw was fake.
But he couldn't see through this world's illusion.
"What's wrong, Hatake Satoru? are you too excited to see me?"
The other person quickly approached Hatake Satoru, trying to hug him, but just as his hand was about to touch Hatake Satoru, it was blocked by an invisible force.
"Wow, really? It's been so long, and you're this distant with me? You even used the Limitless technique. It's me, Gojo."
Standing beside Hatake Satoru, Gojo Satoru pointed at himself with an incredulous look, his tone full of surprise.
His expression seemed to say, "You treat me like this? It really hurts my feelings."
"Why are you here?"
Unable to see through the world's flaws for now, Hatake Satoru frowned and asked Gojo Satoru.
Yes, the person in front of Hatake Satoru was indeed Gojo Satoru, which is why Hatake Satoru felt like he was in a fake world the moment he saw him.
"I don't know either. I was just walking down the street, and then a gray-white barrier appeared in front of me. Out of curiosity, I walked in, and then I ended up here. When I saw you, I thought you used some special method to summon me. Isn't that right?"
Looking at Gojo's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying.
"Of course not. You should know you don't have the ability to travel to other worlds."
But Gojo's explanation made Hatake Satoru believe a little. After all, the Otsutsuki might really have the ability to bring people from other worlds. The last time he traveled to the Cursed Technique Lapse world was also because of the Otsutsuki clan's artifact, the 'Plow.'
"This is really strange. Did someone gather us together?"
Gojo's face also showed a puzzled expression.
"Otsutsuki, what does this mean?"
Then, Hatake Satoru shouted, looking up. The surroundings were still the mountain top, but Hatake Satoru felt like it wasn't the original location. Clearly, the triangular barrier just now wasn't just to trap him.
"Otsutsuki? What's that?"
Gojo asked curiously.
"It's an enemy I'm facing."
"An enemy? Are they strong?"
Gojo's lips curled into a smile, and from that smile, it seemed that there was a hint of excitement in his heart.
"In that world, no one is my match anymore. I wonder if they will let me stretch my muscles a bit."
Gojo did some warm-up exercises, after all, Hatake Satoru's enemies were his enemies too.
Suddenly, three enormous shadows appeared in the sky, the very same three Otsutsuki clan members who had brought Hatake Satoru here.
"This is our Otsutsuki clan's special artifact, the Life and Death Arena. Anyone who enters here can only leave alive if they defeat the other. In other words, only one of you can leave here alive."
The shadow of Otsutsuki Miki explained.
Gojo Satoru, who was warming up, suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face froze, as if he hadn't expected such a result.
"So, this is a kind of seal?"
Compared to Gojo's inner turmoil, Hatake Satoru's heart was relatively calm.
He had always doubted the existence of Gojo Satoru. Even if the Otsutsuki clan could find the world where Gojo Satoru's Cursed Technique Lapse existed, they would need the courage and strength to bring him back.
And if they did bring him back and something went wrong, they would have to be prepared to face two Hatake Satorus at the same time.
Therefore, Hatake Satoru did not believe that the Otsutsuki clan would do something so foolish.
As for this Life and Death Arena, Hatake Satoru also thought it was fake. He believed he was trapped in a Genjutsu similar to the Infinite Tsukuyomi, in a world where it was hard to distinguish between illusion and reality.
And as Hatake Satoru had guessed, he was still standing on the same mountain peak, his body standing there dazedly, with the three Otsutsuki clan members beside him.
One of the Otsutsuki clan members had his eyes tightly closed, and from the two bloodstains on his face, it seemed he had used a forbidden technique from his eyes. Otherwise, given the Otsutsuki clan's physique, such a thing would not have happened.
"How is it? Did it succeed?"
Otsutsuki Miki asked nervously to the Otsutsuki clan member with his eyes closed.
"No problem, it succeeded."
"You revived me just to deal with this guy? Isn't that a bit overkill?"
Otsutsuki Isshiki's voice was somewhat cold.
Although he was very grateful to Otsutsuki Miki for truly reviving him, dealing with such an enemy made him feel a bit insulted.
After being revived, he did nothing but cooperate with the other side in a play.
That's right, it was just a play. The barrier technique just now was fake, and the real purpose was to cover for another person's eye technique.
"Don't underestimate him. He is the man who wiped out the Otsutsuki clan, including you. You died at his hands too."
Otsutsuki Miki glanced at Isshiki and said. For someone who had killed him, Miki's heart held a bit of disdain for him.
