TSSITWON Chapter 10: Trying to Feel the Energy of Nature
🕑 Added 2024-08-27 14:11:42 +0000 UTC"This village has a very terrifying dark side, Kuroshiro. If we get too close to them, we might get caught up in big trouble. I know this from my father, who said that this village has a very frightening dark side," Aoki said seriously, trying to convince Kuroshiro with words that sounded reasonable.
However, deep down, Aoki was hiding the real reason that contradicted what he had just said.
"But you should be grateful to me, Mr. Kuroshiro! I'm just trying to protect us from trouble," Aoki added, trying to maintain his serious expression while waiting for Kuroshiro's reaction.
Kuroshiro fell silent for a moment, contemplating what Aoki had just said. With a bit of hesitation, Kuroshiro finally nodded with a hint of arrogance. "Hmph, fine. Maybe there is some truth to your words, kid. But remember, I am not afraid of anyone!"
Aoki could only smile faintly, relieved that Kuroshiro wasn't delving too deeply into his lie. Meanwhile, in his heart, he was already planning his next move.
'My father is not an Anbu. My father is just an ordinary Chunin. I said this just to impress Kuroshiro, so that he would teach me seriously. But regarding being monitored, that is indeed true. If it weren't for Hiruzen, it would definitely be that damn Danzo watching us. Living as a civilian is already hard enough!' Aoki thought while maintaining a blank expression, although a small smile lingered in his mind.
"Hmm, if what you say is true, then you have saved me, kid. As a token of my gratitude, I will now teach you the basics of absorbing Natural Energy," Kuroshiro said with a sigh. Aoki could see how the creature seemed to consider every word he had said before.
"Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Kuroshiro! How do I do it?" Aoki asked, excitement shining in his eyes.
"First, sit cross-legged," Kuroshiro began to explain, "The Senjutsu I master uses a rather unique method, which is to absorb Natural Energy during the night and morning."
Aoki nodded seriously, then remembered something that confused him. "Mr. Kuroshiro, I heard that the Senjutsu used by the toads from Mount Myōboku will change the user's eyes to look like toad eyes. If I use your Senjutsu, will my eyes change to look like cat eyes?"
Kuroshiro looked at Aoki for a moment before nodding. "Hmm, you are right about those toads. If you use my Senjutsu, your eyes will indeed change to look like cat eyes."
"Alright," Aoki sat cross-legged again with a calm demeanor. "I am ready. What should I do next, Mr. Kuroshiro?"
"Empty your mind, kid," Kuroshiro instructed in a firm yet gentle tone, "But do not let Negative Energy affect you. Feel the warm Natural Energy, let the Natural Energy flow into you."
"Okay, empty the mind, don't let Negative Energy affect," Aoki murmured as he closed his eyes, trying to focus on the instructions given by Kuroshiro.
...
...
...
Slowly, Aoki began to feel a change around him. He no longer felt like he was in his house, but rather in a dark, damp, and cold place. The atmosphere was eerie, as if shadows were lurking from unseen corners.
The more Aoki tried to empty his mind, suddenly strange voices echoed in his head.
"No! Don't kill me!"
"Please don't hurt him!"
"Dad!"
"Grandma! Please wake up, grandma!"
"Mom! Where are you, I'm scared!"
"Darling, don't leave me like this, please!"
"No, why? Why must there be war? I don't want this, I'm scared."
"Die! Destroy! Revenge!"
"I have to kill him! I have to kill him!"
"Am I going to die!"
"Darling! You have to wake up, darling! If you're gone, what will happen to us?"
"Hahaha, this world must be destroyed! I will destroy this world!"
"Why am I so weak? Why do people stay away from me! I never did anything, but why!"
"This world is broken. I will destroy this world and create a new one! You must understand what I'm thinking, Hashirama!"
