Chapter 173: The Key Is Ready
🕑 Added 2021-11-04 04:51:12 +0000 UTCWith a determined gleam in his eyes, Shikamaru took a step forward and began to look for oddities. He received the task for a reason, but also had a scroll ... This barrier is also not just standing here. There is a secret hidden under him, and if there is a chance to dig it up, he was ready to use all his skill as a fuyin master!
Focusing on a hundred different stones, Shikamaru quickly completed the sequence. If we assume that each of them intersects, then you need to calculate a safe route of movement. Thanks to the possession of the Sharingan, memorizing the information received was as easy as shelling pears. Even the most ordinary sight of any Uchiha is different from the sight of other people. Most often they do not just remember superficially, but the whole picture as a whole. If you still use the Sharingan here, even the smallest details will be noticed. The Uchiha's brain always ideally operates with memory and knowledge gained, therefore, even among thousands of pieces of mosaic, they are able to find a connection and assemble everything into a whole image. Therefore, even a seemingly impassable trap for Shikamaru is not so difficult.
It took him no more than three minutes to see all the details from his position. Due to the high position, he could see the whole circle, but the details that even touched the outside of the Maelstrom were still a problem. They can be calculated only by relying on gaps in this protection, although it is too loud to call them gaps ...
- No, that won't work, I won't get through ... It's better to use the Byakugan here, I have achieved quite good success lately, it may be possible to cover the entire village.
A minute later, Shikamaru opened his eyelids again and veins bulged in his temples. The entire village instantly appeared before him. Thanks to the huge perception of the Uchiha, the guy could master this dojutsu on an absolutely different level than any Hyuuga. Of course, his ability to predict attacks and jutsu is still not as perfect as when using the Sharingan, but he is much better than the Hyuuga.
Thanks to his eyes, Shikamaru was able to quickly examine everything and slowly memorize the details. Even notice a strange cube in the center underground. It was he who was hidden by the Uzumaki. Unfortunately, with his eyesight, he could not overcome its walls. This already prompted different thoughts.
Three hours later, he penetrated deeper into the crater and overcame half of the reacting links. The further he penetrated, the more noticeably their distance from each other decreased, and, consequently, the gaps narrowed many times.
Two hours later, the guy finally reached the center. At this time, he already began to suspect that in order to pass the barrier, he needed to master fuin at an excessive level. The most ridiculous thing is that it is too difficult to believe in such a thing. Who in the world today can have such a terrible memory and such abilities? Most likely, there must be a technique that he did not get, and already now Shikamaru began to suspect what kind of technique it was ... Only the Uzumaki owned this art, he did not get it. Even the system did not have these "chakra chains". That is why Shikamaru did not know how to get them, leaning towards the fact that it had something to do with the Uzumaki themselves and their special heritage. Finding a real Uzumaki like Karin was now impossible. But it didn't matter now ... Even if he had chains, he was not completely sure of their effectiveness.
Upon reaching the Center, Shikamaru was already expecting something special, but he did not find anything but just a flat surface. According to calculations, invisible lines crossed even here, and naturally in the air. Therefore, it was not worth even thinking to penetrate underground or from above.
"Don't tell me that I need to dig ... Any impact of the chakra can blow up everything here!" With a heavy sigh, Shikamaru took out Mito's scroll and laid it on the ground. He didn't really know what to do now! Digging is just suicide, and this trap looked like just an ordinary trap, without any sense!
As soon as the scroll touched the ground, nothing happened, which was not surprising ... Shikamaru grimaced and sighed.
“Don't tell me it's all just to destroy the enemy. I can't get out ... I'll just leave the first layer and then everything will explode. Nonsense, why the hell am I getting into this? Hmm ... - having massaged his whiskey, the guy put his feelings in order:
- Okay, it's definitely not just that. Otherwise, they would have just blown up everything here at once. Making such a defense just for the sake of destruction is pointless.
Sitting in the center of the circle, Shikamaru lifted Mito's scroll and closed his eyes. This time, he decided to completely fold this Barrier Ninjutsu card. Now it was worth focusing on absolutely all areas, even underground and those in the air. He lost a lot of time and a loss, it’s just a necessity.
"Hmm, if you look like that ..." - with a thoughtful expression, the guy continued to collect everything into a big picture.
An hour later, he finally nodded thoughtfully and smiled.
- Not bad at all ... Star anchoring ... If I remember correctly, it usually focuses on the positions of the seals, and the way of removing it also concerns the seals, from which I thought about nine positions and the Uzumaki Chains, if so ...
With an admiring gleam in his eyes, Shikamaru pulled out Mito's scroll and put it in front of him, he was no longer going to move, the key was in his hands all this time! In fact, all his actions so far are just senseless stupidity! A true master of Fuinjutsu should not take such risks, he should calculate everything and have patience. In this, Shikamaru made a mistake and just climbed in where he shouldn't have been from the very beginning. The correct option is to study everything from the outside, and then understand the fuyin barrier cipher based on the lines of the defense links. As a result, you don't have to go deeper - you just need patience!
With a wry grin, Shikamaru took a large scroll from the ring and bit his finger. With the first drop of blood, a dozen masterful strokes flew onto the scroll. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred different fuin symbols landed on the scroll, mostly repeating a circle and going out to the center of the gathering structures. These signs are needed for the merge, and the rest for printing. A circular bloody symbol, followed by another and another ... Nine circles, just like the nine destroyed columns in the Maelstrom village, marked the end of hard work.
Shikamaru wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.
“After all, it’s a printable design, encrypted in a trap. So many difficulties, did any of them really believe that there would be someone capable of passing through the poison, and then also mastering such knowledge? Interesting clan ... Although I suppose it would be faster with chains. The barrier could simply be sealed. Sorry I'm not a true Uzumaki and still don't own it.
