Chapter 42: Decision
🕑 Added 2021-02-21 08:04:08 +0000 UTCWhen it came to the Sharingan, Hiruzen looked around, and then calmly said:
“This is all very unusual, you not only awakened the genome of the Kaguya clan, but also the Uchiha Dojutsu. How did this happen? How long ago?
- A year ago.
The Hokage nodded and asked:
- What served this? I mean, under what circumstances did he awaken?
Smiling slightly, Shikamaru replied:
“I understand what you mean, Uchiha usually awaken their eyes in special situations. That day, I got a little angry about one trouble, and then this happened to my eyes ...
In fact, Shikamaru certainly used the emotional outburst pill. Of course, he could not tell about it, everything about the system, no one should have known about it. So Shikamaru composed this story and even created some detailed evidence. But he doubted that anyone would particularly dig into all this. He did not want to arouse suspicion and say that the Sharingan appeared just like that. So I came up with a little story.
As he thought, Hiruzen did not go into much detail, but simply nodded and asked:
- I see. When did the second tomoe appear?
"Yesterday ..." Shikamaru smiled slightly. Of course he lied. In fact, there were two tomoe at once, there was no point in telling Hiruzen about it. He has already been designated a genius, and a genius capable of immediately awakening the Sharingan with two volumes in six years is even more unique. And he is not from Uchiha, so this is too much ... In principle, it would not hurt, but Shikamaru decided to hide it. Even his parents did not know about the two tomoe, he also told them about the Sharingan quite recently.
When Shikamaru replied, Hiruzen chuckled.
- So that's why you decided to challenge me now, thought there was a chance?
“Not really, but my father insisted that I show you this. Yes, and I myself understand that it was better to tell you, in order to avoid various problems with some individuals in the village.
Slightly screwing up his eyes, Hiruzen asked:
- You mean someone specific?
Shikamaru replied with a shrug.
- Who knows ... But you can count on me old man, I'm the Liszt shinobi. I just don't really want to experiment or brainwash ...
- Haa, I see you already know a lot ... - With a drawn-out sigh, Hiruzen added: - Since you know some things, you should understand that you should control yourself, at least until you become Chūnin. It won't take much time with your talent ... Keep the Sharingan in the shadows. I'm sure Shikaku warned you. But, I also warn you, be careful with Shikamaru. You are an important talent of the village and I really hope in you. With your mind, you must understand some of the things happening in the village, especially with the whole clan, for whom these eyes mean a lot ...
At the Hokage's words, Shikamaru nodded gravely.
- I understand the elder.
- Okay, - smiling, the Hokage immediately asked:
- Soon admission to the Academy ... What do you think about this?
“Perhaps ... I haven’t decided yet, I need more time to think.” About this, Shikamaru certainly had a plan, but now was not the right time. So he immediately decided to translate the topic:
- By the way, I wanted to ask you something else ...
The old man waved his hand, calling the guy to follow him, and then, limping slightly, began to leave the forest. Shikamaru quickly followed him and continued speaking.
- It's about the techniques, I studied everything in the clan and everything in the library. But there is nothing higher than E-rank, just a couple of weak D-rank techniques, like body blinking. So I wanted to ask ...
Hiruzen smiled and interrupted:
“Don't worry, I have a couple of scrolls for you. There are enough techniques for the Genin in the archive, although you are not a Shinobi yet, but I can make exceptions, you had a good fight. Of course, your eyes shocked me ... I did not expect to see something like that in my old age.
Smiling slightly, Shikamaru was pleased. He was counting on something like that. Not only fight an experienced shinobi, but also get techniques, even if they are of low rank. Of course, the techniques could be bought in the scroll store, but first it was worth getting free ones, and only then decide something with others.
The two walked to the Hokage residence for a short time and communicated more openly. Hiruzen probably still couldn't get away from the surprise of the Sharingan, so he didn't ask particularly difficult questions.
When the Hokage returned to his residence, Shikamaru waved goodbye to him and left immediately.
Hiruzen, in turn, looked after him and muttered softly:
- I hope these eyes will not bring him a curse ... If only the Uchiha did not find out, they have so recently problems ... - sighing heavily, the Hokage turned around and returned to the residence.
At the same time, Shikamaru slowly walked home and thought.
“Hmm, everything went well, it makes me happy ... The academy really is soon, let's see how it goes. I also have a couple of thoughts on this assignment, of course, it all depends on the old man. If everything goes as it should, then I will get what I wanted ... Then finally it will be possible to start gaining new power. ”With a smile, Shikamaru straightened his collar and disappeared, leaving behind a couple of leaves circling in the wind.
Coming back to the events at the Ninja Academy.
- Shikamaru, what have you decided? I've already seen your skills, I'm afraid you have nothing to learn at the academy ...
When asked by the Hokage, Shikamaru immediately replied:
“Well, my skills are really a little better than kids my age. But if I don't study, how can I make friends? Besides, I am the heir to my clan ... '' Shikamaru said calmly, looking at his father.
- I have to be part of the Ino-Shika-Cho team. Even if I am stronger than them at the moment, this is the tradition of my clan and as a future head, I must observe them out of respect for my ancestors.
At Shikamaru's words, Shikaku smiled contentedly, as did Hiruzen. He also hoped for such an answer. Although he appreciated his abilities, he also believed that strength was not always the main thing. For shinobi, comrades are just as important, but where if not in the Academy to get these comrades? Hiruzen was a Sarutobi himself, and although his students were not Ino-Shika-Cho, he also knew about their relationship. Therefore, I agreed with the guy's words - some traditions should be observed.
With a pretty smile, Hiruzen said:
“If you say so, then so be it. You are only six years old, at this age you should make friends, not think about training. Now are quiet times - no wars, children should stay as children longer ... - sighing, Hiruzen turned to director Tenzo and said: - Let the guy learn a little, at least a year or two, and then we'll see ...
