Chapter 55: Title not here
"How does it look from 1 to 10?"
" I would say 8. You know your eyes are not light bulbs that you change every month, you need to give them time to settle down." - Wansai responded after a moment's thought, looking sharply at my new eyes, from which I had just removed the bandage.
" That's good enough ."
It's been eight days since I lost both eyes and replaced my father's eyes with all I did was either eat or exercise. The loss of vision did not greatly affect my movement on the mountain, and in fact, during these eight days, I began to get used to blindness. After asking Asami to attack me once, I realized that I could feel the attacks coming at me even with my eyes closed. And it was not at all in the currents of air or tactical thinking. It was as if I could feel with my skin where the blow would come.
It felt like I had acquired an ability from One Piece that I had long forgotten the name of.
After washing my eyes and face from the remnants of the ointment against inflammation that arose after the transplant, I slowly went outside, getting used to the light. The feeling was not pleasant, as if new teeth had been made after the dentist. However, knowing that I would soon get used to it, I slowly used chakra into my eyes in small portions. Without problems, the Sharingan activated and looking at the eagle in the form of a sparrow that was sitting nearby and watching me, I saw his chakra. Turning away, I went outside and activated the next stage.
Purple energy enveloped the body, but closing my eyes, I canceled the start of the construction of the foundation of Sussano. I clearly felt how easy it was to call on Sussano, I clearly understand that I can already make it complete in two seconds. Bones, muscles, armor. Before that, I needed more time and focus.
Taking a breath of clean mountain air, I smiled, feeling as if a heavyweight had fallen from my shoulders and, clenching my fists, stretched to the side. Thanks for your eyes, Dad.
"Now that you've recovered after everything, are you ready?" Wansai jumped on my shoulder.
"Yes, let's go."
Jumping out the last door, I ran down the slope towards Bernard. The path took quite a long time on the ground, but it was nice to warm up. And given that I began to use weights again, it was even more pleasant to feel the load. The muscles still ached from the 8 gates technique, but it was more of a pleasant pain than an unbearable one. Is it possible that I'm a masochist!?
Having landed, i raised some dust and stones, and went towards a bird-made cave, from which a powerful chakra was felt.
In the middle of the cave sat a Huge Eagle who looked at me.
Realizing that he was the third extra here, Wansai fluttered his wings and flew out of the cave. We were left alone.
"So are you finally recovered and ready to learn?" Bernard asked.
"Yes, but also answer the questions that you were worried about. According to Wansai, someone even panicked when the Nine-Tails' chakra leaked out of the seal while replacing my eyes." I nodded.
"Your seal will be able to hold him I am not afraid, nor are my children, and now that you have recovered I am not worried about a possible disaster. However, I have questions about who you fought. Why did the sage of the six paths attack you?"
I've been thinking about what to say for a week now, and I've come to the most correct conclusion. It's better to tell the truth. Lying can ruin our relationship, and lying to someone face makes no sense without good reason.
"I took this half of the Nine-Tails Yin from one of the dead. However, when I decided to take the Nine-Tails' chakra after sealing it, Hagoromo attacked me with balls of truth, saying that he would take the Nine-Tails and my eyes. It only hurt me a little, and then he decided to first immobilize me, and then completely seal me, but did not appreciate the power of my eyes and paid with his hand. When he tried to seal me, he failed…"
"I don't need to tell the fight, Wansai and Hairo saw everything from above and told me in detail. However, they didn't know why you fought him. Now I have approximately understood and can relax. You may already know, but it was the Sage of the Six Paths who created the tailed beasts from an entity called the ten-tailed. Since then, he considers them his children. As for your eyes, perhaps your ability to interact with the soul scared him, and he decided to eliminate you. Well then, let me ask you one more question."
He tilted his head and leaned toward me without blinking.
"Are you ever going to make enemies of us?"
Swallowing, I decided to hastily dispel his doubts.
"Since Wansai took me here, I have never regretted meeting all of you. You were a really big part of my life and gave me strength and meaning to continue to live, you are like a family to me. Never in my entire life have I even thought of hurting any of you. No. I will never betray you even if I fight against the whole world."
Returning back to his seat, Bernard relaxed and lay down. Squinting, he lost all that cautious attitude.
"It's good to hear that Renjiro. In all the years you've spent here, I can clearly tell when you're lying or not telling the truth. But now you've told the honest truth from the bottom of my heart, I'm satisfied. Our world is only one dimension and this mountain. So what happens outside does not concern us. And now to your training."
Suddenly, the natural chakra burst out of his body and began to press on me. Entering sage mode, I began to counter without expecting such an attack.
"Your seal is your key to salvation. Wansai changed the seal when he set it up so you could travel between two points, to begin with. This requires two things. The first is the ability to freely manipulate large reserves of chakra or natural energy. You have a new chakra that exceeds yours and it will be easy for you to do this. Space is continuous and unchanging as long as you don't move, but your chakra can change the very rules of this world. As long as you have the anchor that is in your seal and the point to which the anchor will reach, you will be separated from space and can break the barrier that separates this world from another. There is no air between the barriers, no gravity, no... time. You'll be looking for a way back day. Two days. Two hundred years. Until a second passes in our world. But you have to find it yourself otherwise you won't be able to use this technique. Take it. This is your anchor and dots."
Taking the giant scroll that rolled out from Bernard, I read it with my Sharingan and memorized everything. Closing the scroll and putting it aside, I sat down on my knees and began to make a seal with chakra directly on the floor. After checking what was on my body for the seal, I made sure that this was the same anchor that Wansai had set for me.
"Your ability to remember everything you saw is useful. Now go ahead." – a wave of natural energy washed over me, and as if I stumbled upon glass behind me, I broke it and flew into the void. Panic set in as I began to fall into nowhere. Far above, the beams of light grew smaller and smaller until the hole was completely closed. This is what Hagoromo used!
Panting, I suddenly realized that I didn't need to breathe. There was absolute darkness and silence all around. Deciding to step forward, I realized that I did not fall, but stood. But feelings were covered with panic when I felt that having stepped once, I had stepped three times. In three directions. Stepping back, I felt even more uncomfortable.
Not panicking, I remembered the techniques from the scroll and Bernard's words.
As I sat down, I began to think. However, the technique was without seals and simply by folding the technique from here, it would not be possible to leave.
Sitting in the lotus position, I plunged into myself.
How much time passed is not known when I opened my eyes and directed the chakra through the channels. Activating the seal gave me the feeling that I needed to reach for nowhere. However, as I walked toward my goal, I lost that feeling. Sitting back, I realized that I still have a lot to try.
.
.
.
A second later, as Bernard pushed me off the mountain, I reappeared swirling over the seal, and landed.
"Congratulations. Did you feel the rest of the points?"
"Yes. Should I check them out?"
" Go ahead, try it. If you can feel them, you can use them."
Stepping back, I used the seal, but instead of staying in the dark, I immediately pulled myself to another point. Inhaling the cold air, burning my lungs, I looked into the distance and saw a city covered with snow. Stepping again, accelerating the chakra through the channel at high speed, creating pressure around me with a certain frequency, and using the seal, I ended up in a new place somewhere in the forest.
Stone Wastes, Leaf Village, my old house where Asami left her seal, the city where it rains, traveling until I felt tired I came back to Bernard breathing heavily. I spent all my chakra now it will be necessary to restore the day, but it was worth it. Bernard treated me like some kind of coming of Jesus.
"Thank you Bernard for entrusting me with this knowledge. May I ask why the technique does not have a name?" - bowing as a sign of respect, I was really happy with such a technique. I even had a theory that I can use the Mangekyo for more ease to press on the space, one snow-white person gave me the knowledge of the technique with the Rinengan which I did not have yet, but I can combine the knowledge now.
" Because it's not a technique, it's a complex of knowledge gathered into one of many methods. We don't need names for this. Do not tell anyone in the outside world and do not teach this technique without our consent. I hope for your awareness."
Nodding, I expected to continue, but Bernard just fell silent, closing his eyes, thinking about something. Three minutes later, I couldn't take it anymore.
"Something is wrong?"
Startled, Bernard looked around and squinted when he saw me.
"Are you still here? Get out of here and don't disturb my sleep."
I smiled and said goodbye and went outside. Sitting on the edge of the cliff, I breathed in the pure mountain air and exhaled with pleasure. The currents of wind reached me and looking to the left, I saw Sasuke's Eagle flying toward me. Landing next to me scattering pebbles, she looked at me as if she was looking at something interesting.
"Hi Renjiro, Sasuke asked me to tell you that he finished something and gathered his people to look for someone. He will be in some human town, and I can send you there right now."
I thought about it for a moment and decided to go. Even if I get attacked again by Hagoromo, I'll just run away and take Sasuke with me if that's the case. And if anyone else… Even in my weakened state after the eye transplant, losing the awakened Rinennegan in the battle with the sage, and jumping, I can still destroy the hidden village and leave after that. So it wasn't scary. In addition, after I received the body of a sage, my reserves increased so much that in terms of chakra reserves, I was a real monster. And that's not counting the natural energy that I accumulated while on the mountain. True, now I had chakras at the level of a low jōnin, which would obviously be enough for the trip.
"Hi, I see, let's go now." I approached and put my hand on the wing and stood up waiting.
The hawk looked at me awkwardly, trying to figure out what I was doing.
"Do you have a point there?" I looked at her doubtfully and asked.
"Ah, I know now what are you waiting for, I'm sorry I haven't learned how to jump between points yet. Only older eagles know how to do this and have been preparing for several years for the first attempt. I can't use seals yet and will be taught how to do it later. All I can do is call myself back and control the wind. I heard you, too, Father is going to teach."
"Ah that, I already learned that." - jumping on her back and attaching myself to the feathers, I realized that she was laging again.
"SO FAST!?" - The eagle screamed in shock after realizing that I had already learned In less than a hour.
"I know right ?" came the loud voice of Bernard from the cave.
Realizing that we are disturbing his sleep, She quickly got up and flew towards the exit from the mountain.
The journey took two hours and during this time I managed to restore a significant part of Indra's chakra. It was only a matter of time before it returned to me.
"Thanks." - Disappearing in a cloud of smoke, the eagle left.
Looking from afar at a small town that really didn't look like a village even though it was so small. Jumping up a tree, I looked around the city and marked a café for myself.
After checking my wallet in my pocket, I closed it and flashed straight into the cafe.
Seeing the man appear out of thin air, kicking up dust, the people quickly ran away, recognizing the ninja.
Unfortunately, the ninja had a very bad reputation.
A man and a woman dressed in expensive clothes sat and talked while their daughter ate something sweet. However, when they saw me appear out of thin air, they turned pale as their eyes shifted to my temporary weapon in my belt. Having grabbed the child, they tried to escape from the Cafe and began to look with their eyes for another exit besides the one in which I was standing. Sighing, I decided to calm them down.
"Sit down, please. I'm really a ninja, but I won't cause any inconvenience. So keep enjoying your desserts and consider I'm not here." - throwing a last glance at them, I sat down near the exit to see the street. There will be one talented sensor with Sasuke so there is no point in checking every chakra in the city. However, it never hurts to be vigilant.
Tapping my finger on the table, I waited for the waiter to calmly take my order. After two hours of eating a large portion of desserts, I finally felt four people with chakra enter my radius. I could not properly judge whether they had a lot or not, as I just felt with what frequency the chakra was emitted. Yes, even if I could, after meeting and fighting with Hagoromo, I can't help but look at all the ninja like kids in the sandbox. I recognized only one chakra and grinning, I took out my wallet.
The waiter relaxed when he saw me take out my wallet.
After paying, leaving a tip, I left the cafe and ran across the rooftops, changing the frequency of the chakra so that I would not be detected. Stopping on one of the rooftops, I looked down and activated the Mangekyo. The red-haired girl suddenly raised her head, sensing me, and calmly pointed at me while speaking loudly. Everyone immediately reacted and raised their heads. However, it was not in my plans to go down to be friends with them. Drawing my sword, I activated my sharingan and released my desire to kill them. A suffocating feeling washed over the entire team as they tried to figure out who I was. Landing in front of them, I slowly swung my sword while looking straight at Sasuke.
Sasuke realized it was me and when I flashed past him, he didn't even flinch knowing what my goal was.
Flashing behind Jugo I hit him in the legs bringing him to his knees and hitting the back of his head buried his face in the ground. Angered, he stood up, changing his appearance using Orochimaru's seal, but another kick sent him back down and buried him, creating trenches and cracks. Too weak and slow.
"To slow." Turning my Sharingan towards Karin, I smiled and narrowed my eyes.
Dodging the kunai from the girl, I simply pushed her away with natural chakra, allowing her to fly further by inertia. I've seen what she's capable of more and don't need to know. Turning to Suigetsu, I walked towards him slowly escalating the situation while watching him, clenching his sword, looked at me.
"Damn Sasuke what are you waiting for!?" - shouting, he swung his sword horizontally.
Grabbing the sword with one hand, I stopped and pulled it out, tearing his arm out of the water of the Suigetsu at the same time. Having turned into water, Suigetsu fell into a puddle and attacked me from below with many water bullets, but the electric shock brought him back to his form and he sprawled on the ground. Having received a kick in the stomach with foot, Suigetsu growled and grabbed my leg, but as I lifted leg, I lowered it again and this time he felt damage, spitting out blood in pain. Finally, Sasuke put his hand on my shoulder as if signaling enough was enough.
"Are you satisfied with the results?" – Sasuke asked, calmly looking at me.
"Quite right. Honestly, I did not feel their strength. How can they help in the case." Looking at Jugo regaining consciousness, I lazily dodged another punch.
"Who the hell are you, a psychopath attacking us!?" – Karin puffed, looking at me.
"Calm down Karin. He tested your strength. If he attacked you to kill... Meet my brother, Renjiro Uchiha ." Sasuke looked at her coldly.
"Honestly, I'm disappointed. You have minimal chances against any of the eight members of Akatsuki. " I said loudly so that even Jugo underground could hear.
"How do you know? You're acting so cool, but one attack in the head…" Pointing his hand at me, making a gun with his fingers, Suigetsu got angry.
Sasuke looked at me as if asking for confirmation, to which I nodded to him and silently understood what he wanted.
Sasuke extended his hand and lowered Suigetsu 's hand.
"Because he was among them. A cat from Akatsuki ."
" Ooooh! You were the one that left! I do not believe!" Suigetsu yelled loudly, but after being hit in the head by Karin who smashed it into a spray of water, he fell silent.
"They are here to help not kill Itachi, but to prevent outside interference while we attacking him." Sasuke walked away realizing that I had finished checking everyone.
"There is a cafe nearby, I suggest you go there and have a bite of some chocolate ice cream." – stretching out my hand to the sitting Jugo, I continued. – " Renjiro ."
" Jugo ." Grabbing my hand, he stood up, clearly relieved, and dusted himself off.
"I'm Karin and that idiot is Suigetsu. If not for Sasuke, I would have nailed him a long time ago!" Turning away from Suigetsu, Karin introduced herself.
Raising an eyebrow, I decided to joke and embarrass Sasuke.
"So she's your girlfriend?" I grinned. "As your brother, I bless your attitude!" There was an explosion
above Karin's head as the heat from the blood running to her head escaped through her ears.
Suigetsu started laughing, but another blow to the head interrupted his amusement.
Sasuke turned around, ignoring them, and walked into the city.
