Chapter 74: Training with the Hokage
🕑 Added 2021-03-11 09:13:40 +0000 UTCWhen Hiruzen finished this long speech with such explanations, as well as an unpleasant question. For Shikamaru, a lot fell into place right away. Now he finally began to understand a little how things work. Although he had previously planned to conduct tests on himself, unfortunately, he did not have sufficient knowledge and equipment. He planned to start research at an older age, but now he was just studying the world and jutsu. After about a couple of years, Shikamaru planned to break into the study of Iryoninjutsu when he finally graduated from the academy. Yet now he did not have much free time for additional classes in other sections. He was still honing the basics. In the past, he even wanted to get the body of a dead Uchiha, but due to a lack of knowledge about autopsy and any medicine in general, Shikamaru dismissed these thoughts. Even if he got a body, it would be of little use. It was a little sad, yet this clan has very little time left, and later it will not be easy to get their representative. Therefore, it was quite useful to find out what he now learned ...
But, although he was a little grateful to Hiruzen for the information, he simply could not say something sensible in return now. Uncovering the story of rebirth and the system was not very good. Who knows how the Hokage will take it, let alone the Nara. It would be difficult to accept a stranger, but a stranger from another world ... In general, it was unwise to share such information. Therefore, Shikamaru told half the truth as before:
- It all happened right after that incident in the hospital, I myself do not understand how it happens. At a certain moment, my body is faced with changes that are very painful. I can often sense when a moment like this will come. In a day or two, and then I instinctively know when the hour of transformation is near. At that moment, I try to hide and go through everything in solitude and tranquility, without unnecessary eyes and ears.
The Hokage thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
- So this is it ... Is this the reason why you are constantly hiding in the woods?
- One of them. Otherwise, I just like the forest and the quiet environment. After all, I'm a Liszt shinobi.
The Hokage grinned, and then seemed to remember something, and then immediately asked:
- Wait, so recently in that forest, next to the Uzumaki barrier, you ... Did you go through this "transformation"?
Shikamaru had no choice but to nod. One power more or less, one way or another Hiruzen already knows a lot. Even the strength of the Uchiha and everything else would be enough for a power-hungry person to want to take everything away from the guy. If Hiruzen hadn't done so until now, then he was either biding his time, which was unlikely. Or the old man can still be trusted in some things. One way or another, it will not be worse from the disclosure of new forces, and it may even become better. It won't be long before Shikamaru has gained enough strength before he stops worrying about problems. He thought so, so he was ready to reveal some things to the Hokage for now. After all, he was his teacher, albeit probably a temporary one, and this was another reason why the old man could know about Uzumaki's pedigree. Further, Shikamaru will no longer need anyone's support. By the time Orochimaru arrives, the guy will already be able to cover his back. The need for support from the villages will disappear. You can even leave it as a last resort. Moreover, as Hokage, Tsunade was not so good, and her authority was so-so, which Shikamaru could well use for his own purposes and the purposes of the clan.
Of course, he hasn’t really thought about it yet, or even thought about the death of his new teacher. By that time, however, several years have passed and Shikamaru's views may have changed. And no one canceled gratitude to Hiruzen.
Therefore, when asked by the Hokage, Shikamaru also calmly replied:
- Yes, that day I really went through a transformation. That forest is rarely visited, so it was the perfect place for me. Well, also, the pedigree that I managed to get, could help me get through the barrier. So I thought of course, but not in vain. Everything really worked out ... True, I met you there, which was not part of my plans.
Hiruzen, with a curious look and a slight smile, peered into this calm face of a six-year-old boy and was all surprised and surprised. He behaved and spoke perfect not like a child. There was nothing to be surprised at, Hiruzen had seen such children more than once. But all of them were still children, but Shikamaru did not even feel this. Even with a childish face, his whole aura was like that of a grown man.
“Haa, yes, I’m probably a bit old already… I’m not sure if he’s lying, he’s rather holding back, as always. Well, there's nothing you can do about it. We hardly know why he would trust me so easily. The child might have become, but not this one ”- exhaling a long breath, Hiruzen nodded:
“Okay, I guess the lineage you got was Uzumaki's lineage?” Then let me ask you, why did you decide that you could get through the barrier without even getting it?
"Ha, damn old man, he will find something to find fault with ..." - mentally cursing, Shikamaru did not show even the slightest irritation, and also calmly replied: - As I said, this is just an assumption. The barrier was big enough, but I was just sure that it was not very strong, otherwise it would be too strange. Who would support such a barrier, and even in this part of the village? She was definitely not protected. Therefore, I assumed that only a ninja with a certain strength could pass through the barrier. I read a little about them ... - Shikamaru of course lied, but just calmly continued: - Well, pedigrees make me stronger, so that's what I was hoping for. Only I was lucky, and I got a strong bloodline that helped me expand my chakra reserves, stopping, Shikamaru nodded thoughtfully.
- So it turns out, these are Uzumaki ... I read about them, an unenviable fate for such talented shinobi.
- Yes, here you are right ... - Hiruzen sighed, and then nodded:
“Okay, enough questions. In the end, we are not here for this ... - having said this, he folded several seals and hit the ground with his palm. At the same instant, four earthen pillars appeared next to him, quickly ripping out of the solid ground. They were absolutely smooth and resembled ordinary rectangular slabs in shape.
Shikamaru was about to ask why they were, but the Hokage got ahead of him, explaining:
- I want to make sure of exactly what you are capable of. Fortunately, you have a Sharingan and it will be much easier. I will demonstrate the techniques to you, and thanks to your eyes, you will master everything perfectly. Then repeat. It will be both testing and training your eyes, plus learning new techniques. Are you ready?
Shikamaru nodded briefly and immediately activated the Sharingan. When Hiruzen saw this bone-piercing look, he immediately smiled and began to quickly fold the seals:
- Get ready! Water Release: Indomitable Wave of Water!
