Chapter 225: The Stone Tablet
🕑 Added 2022-01-10 08:06:32 +0000 UTCLooking at Sasuke's scowl, Shikamaru wondered more and more.
"Yeah, it looks like he just couldn't leave ... like Naruto, was he put in this house?" Shikamaru could only swear at the Third in displeasure. This old man is disappointing!
- Could you leave?
"Yes, but ..." Sasuke gritted his teeth and said menacingly, "I wanted to remember!"
- Enough. Hate boy enough for you. With a serious gleam in his eyes, Shikamaru patted the Uchiha on the shoulder.
- Stop torturing yourself! I will give you the power of eyes and protection, no one in this world will touch you. Even if you don’t get rid of your brother, I’ll find him for you, and now smile and follow. Let's read your Poneglyph!
Sasuke froze for a moment. Even as Shikamaru climbed the stairs, Sasuke continued to stand with trembling eyes and stare at the man's back in bewilderment. He didn't understand at all why ... He lied? Is everything he said true? But why ... A lot of thoughts were spinning in his head. But, he had never felt something like this in his life. Hope, confidence ... Even without really knowing this person: his words and smile, a confident look and a strong hand - all this was enough to make Sasuke want to rely on him and believe. That is why he plunged into a strange lethargic state. No one has ever said such words to him, Shikamaru said it casually, like something simple and insignificant. But, he immediately dispelled all of Sasuke's doubts. The Uchiha had not yet imagined that his revenge was almost accomplished at the moment when he became his student ...
- Hey! Are you going there ?! Enough to dissolve snot! Shikamaru yelled irritably as he continued walking.
- Y-yes! Sasuke chuckled and followed Shikamaru with a bright smile.
- Yes, sensei!
- Ha ha! He called me Sensei for the first time! You and I will get along!
Entering the Naka Shrine, Shikamaru looked around, but Sasuke had already moved on.
- Sensei here. - the boy lifted one of the tatami mats and folded the hand seal of the snake. The seal was immediately activated and the stone slid to the side with a loud sound, revealing a secret passage underground.
Having dealt with the fiery lighting, Shikamaru and Sasuke stopped next to a monument dotted with incomprehensible symbols.
- Can you read this sensei? Sasuke asked activating his Sharingan. Shikamaru only nodded in response, and his eyes immediately transformed into two completely black shells, within which two pairs of silver discs appeared.
- Your eyes, what are they? The boy asked a little mesmerized. Two rings, with three tomoe, somewhat resembled an ordinary Sharingan, but it was the true Mangeky Shikamaru, it glowed and the silver discs seemed to pulsate, reflecting a chilling light in the darkness. These eyes attracted attention and made others involuntarily immerse themselves in them. Unsurprisingly, Sasuke reacted this way. After awakening the eyes of the sun, Shikamaru's main eyes also transformed, which is why the Sharingan was now stronger and more powerful.
Shikamaru peered at the stone tablet and calmly replied:
- This is the Mangeky Sharingan.
- M-mangeky ?! So it is ... - Sasuke grimaced in pain and grabbed his head sharply, clenching his teeth tightly: - What is this ...
- Mm? Shikamaru raised his eyebrows in surprise and narrowed his eyes.
- What's the matter?
"I ..." Sasuke felt better again and shook his head. "I don't know ... I suddenly remembered his eyes ...
The boy clenched his fists again filled with hatred, but Shikamaru suddenly clapped him on the shoulder and smiled.
- Calm down. Do not give in to hatred, or I will not teach such a student. You will achieve a lot without it. For example, your Sharingan, you awakened it that day, don't you remember?
"I ..." Sasuke looked up in confusion.
- In that day?
“Yes, on the day you lost everything, your eyes were awakened. You forgot about it, but I can see a lot more just by looking at you. Leaning over to meet his dark eyes, Shikamaru smiled brightly, causing Sasuke to lower his head in embarrassment.
`` W-I see ...
- Do not worry. Although you lack confidence in some areas, I will help you. Until then ...
Looking closely, Shikamaru began to read the entries on the Uchiha Tablet. Some of his knowledge surprised him, especially a few interesting techniques. A way of controlling the Tailed Beast, or even processing other people's memories. Amazing techniques that Shikamaru believes would take him long days of practice if he tried to create them himself. He instinctively understood a lot, but it is still better to have such guidance.
So this is the point ... This is the Rinnegan recipe. Impressive. Even a short story about the tailed beasts and what a great world could be in the Eternal Tsukiyomi. The strength and power of the eyes ... ”Shikamaru chuckled. Zetsu is cunning, this knowledge was presented as scraps, but very believable, especially for Uchiha who want power and are consumed by the curse of hate. All this gave hope and a path to the future. But in the end it all came down to the Rinnegan. Nobody forced him to wake up, there were even warnings and fears. Everything in a believable style. Even all of the Uchiha's pain from loss was reflected in this stone. It's all about how difficult it is to follow this path and that Mangeky is very dangerous.
"Interesting reading," Shikamaru nodded and returned his previous appearance to his eyes. Even with his strength, he could not read everything. It’s not a matter of decoding, rather, he simply didn’t see what to read. The text just broke off. But, he was not upset, he still knew the truth, even one that is unknown to Madara.
- And what's there? Sasuke asked.
Shikamaru just shrugged.
- Techniques, a couple of stories and the path to the Rinnegan.
- Rinne ... Rinnegan? Sasuke frowned. "What is this?"
- Dojutsu, it can be called unique, because only Uchiha can awaken it under special circumstances. You could even call it an evolution of the Mangeky Sharingan. You shouldn't think too much about it.
"Mm," Sasuke nodded softly, following the retreating Shikamaru. The boy had a lot of questions, but he instinctively felt that now was not the time.
Having received everything he wanted here, Shikamaru decided to return to his hideout and do other things.
After leaving the Naka Shrine, he immediately addressed the sad and pensive Sasuke:
“Don't think too much about it. The time will come, and I will tell you everything you want. Until the end of the Exam, for now, when I finish some business with the future Hokage, I will have a special surprise for you. Well, in the meantime ... - touching Sasuke's neck, Shikamaru smiled, to which the guy already winced and looked down awkwardly.
- Why do you react like that? Both of us guys, let me give you some strength as your first gift. Leave the embarrassment to the girls, my student must be a tough guy!
- C-strength? - Sasuke easily missed everything Shikamaru said, his eyes sparkled in an instant, he even lost sight of his embarrassment and the question of the next Hokage.
- It will be a little unpleasant, try not to switch off. - suddenly, on his neck the boy felt a burning pain and grimaced sharply. Even his knees began to give way, but in order not to embarrass himself in front of the new teacher, he closed his eyes and began to endure.
