Chapter 33: Shikotsumyaku
🕑 Added 2021-02-21 07:59:10 +0000 UTCAfter standing on the shore for a while, Shikamaru listened to the birdsong and the quietly babbling river. Sunset was approaching, and the rays of the setting sun were reflected from the quietly running water. The clear and refreshing scent of the forest was amazing, so Shikamaru decided to enjoy this atmosphere ... With his changes, he began to experience the world in a different way, even his chakra.
Enjoying the clean air, the guy breathed in his full chest and stretched his whole body ...
"How nice ... This world is amazing"
Glancing at Chоji's grim face with a smile, Shikamaru took a couple of steps towards his friend and asked :.
- Hey, buddy, what's wrong with you?
The guy raised his tired eyes and said:
- Shikamaru, can I go home already?
- Uh, well ... I think you really should rest, you don't look good, - bruises under the eyes and a gloomy expression on his face spoke of not the most pleasant day in the life of this child, he even seemed to lose weight. Shikamaru, of course, had no intention of keeping him here any longer.
- Thank you ... - the fat man held out and slowly stomped out of the forest.
Shikamaru watched slowly as his friend left, and then shouted to him:
“Hey, Chжиji, you forgot the chips!
The guy just waved his hand and quickened his pace.
- Looks like I shouldn't have called him, poor fellow ... I can imagine what he saw, especially when my skin began to peel off.
Smiling a little, Shikamaru walked over and opened a packet of chips.
“Well, I survived it, so it’s not so bad. I hope I haven't spoiled my new friend's psyche ... ”With a slight grin, Shikamaru stretched out his hand and focused chakra on his bones. He already instinctively understood how his new ability worked, so he immediately tried to interact with calcium using the chakra.
As soon as he did that, a small, sharp bone instantly came out of Shikamaru's hand.
Grimacing slightly at the unpleasant sensation of skin exfoliation, Shikamaru continued the process ...
* Zuu *
After a couple of seconds, a sharp and strong bone finally appeared. A few drops of blood spilled onto Shikamaru's lap, making him mildly surprised ... Only now did he begin to realize how everything works.
At the base of the bone, there was torn skin, but at the same time, it did not hurt, and bled quite a bit. Shikamaru touched the white and slightly damp bone and slowly pulled it out of his forearm ...
* Shkkhh *
As soon as the bone was extended, the skin instantly began to heal. It was not healing, as it might seem, but rather a re-fusion, as if the doors releasing the bones were closing. This was part of the ability of this genome. Yet the regeneration of the owner of Shikotsumyaku was almost exactly the same as everyone else's. Moreover, during bone growth, the muscles also exfoliated and then fused again. Simply put, the body has completely changed specifically for the bones to grow outward.
Twisting the sharp bone, Shikamaru nodded in satisfaction and rested the tip to his palm. After rubbing a little over the hand, blood quickly began to drip from it.
"Hmm, it's clear as I thought ..." - the guy nodded in satisfaction and put the bone aside. Regeneration has remained at the same level, so do not confuse fast healing with special separation. Although in both situations, Shikamaru lost blood, but with a stratification, everything could just as quickly return to its place. The body of the owner of the genome was special, there was no doubt about it.
Shikamaru spent quite a bit of chakra to create this bone, which was undoubtedly pleasing. He was sure that it would not be difficult to create several dozen more of these.
“Apparently, the stronger the bone, the more chakra is consumed when interacting with calcium” - after a little practice, Shikamaru quickly got used to the sensations. It was rather unpleasant, but it is quite possible to adapt. Still, the flesh didn’t tear, so the pain wasn’t as severe as one might think. This was expected, yet if Shikotsumyaku had such an ailment as terrifying pain, there would be little sense in the ability. Whatever endurance a shinobi possesses, not everyone could endure the constant tearing of flesh. So the pain threshold was not lowered, the body was still similar to an ordinary human, rather its structure was slightly different internally. The nerves were stratified, so the pain was minimal.
- Okay, I'll practice later, what's there on assignments ...
After giving the command, a window with recently completed tasks appeared in front of Shikamaru's eyes:
Completed:
- "New pedigree"
Obtain the first non-congenital bloodline.
Reward: 10,000 points, a special elixir and a special pill.
- "Blood restriction"
Get your first Superior Genome.
Reward: 20,000 points, a scroll of forbidden S-class technique, a pill of purification of chakra channels.
- "Another story"
Purpose: Perform an action that completely changes the original story.
Reward: 5,000 points, Chakra Storage Expansion Pill
Unexpectedly, there were three completed tasks instead of the expected two. From the very beginning, Shikamaru did not understand what it meant - "Take an action that completely changes the original story." Therefore, he was not sure how to complete this task or how to begin it at all. It seemed to him that he needed to do something special, like killing the main characters. It turned out that you need to do something like this ...
"Hmm ... Not bad, probably until this time, although I was an anomaly, but not so strong, but having acquired Shikotsumyaku, it completely changed everything" - chuckling, Shikamaru was even more delighted when he saw the chakra storage expansion pills. Its price was rather high, so getting it was a great gift. Especially now that he received new power, and even had a shadow clone scroll.
“Hmm, great, it's time to harvest.” Smiling, Shikamaru immediately decided to collect the rewards he had earned. The sun was going down, so the Hyuuga won't be able to get it today, but the rewards are quite possible. Even a pill may take time ...
- 10,000 points, Special Elixir of Element Enhancement and Bloodline Enhancement Pill.
- 20,000 points, a scroll of forbidden S-class technique, a pill of purification of chakra channels.
- 5,000 points, Chakra Storage Expansion Pill
Unfortunately, there were no hidden awards, but it was not necessary. Shikamaru did not take them into account, so the plan to obtain the next bloodline was in effect. Moreover, he completed another assignment, so he was already glad of it. All he was interested in right now was the new technique and the elixir pills.
As soon as Shikamaru took the awards, the number of points instantly increased, and then the information about the new technique entered the guy's head.
Living Puppet S-Rank → Kinjutsu
When Shikamaru completely digested the information, he let out a long breath.
- Hmm, and why do I need this ... Where do I even use it? Reaching out to retrieve the pills and elixir, Shikamaru muttered, `` Although it might work someday, it's still S rank ...
