Chapitre 21: Unlocking the powers of the scroll!
Itachi looked at the scroll that was now lying on his bed.
" Now, time to unfold it. Let's see what's inside "
Itachi held the scroll and gently started to unfold it.
As he unfolded the scroll, Itachi could see paragraphs on top of paragraphs of inscriptions, the language wasn't something he could understand.
To Itachi it looked like some ancient lost language, not a single letter was in the romanisation of this world's literature.
And so, Itachi unfolded it till the scroll was fully unveiled, in total there were 6 large sections. Each section had 2 large paragraphs. 12 in total.
As soon as Itachi unfolded the scroll he was greeted with a system notification, a blue corporal status window with a message popped up in front of him.
{ Host has unveiled the Heavenly Six paths scroll. The content of the scroll is written in the ancient language of the gods, it is an ancient language that has been lost in the river of time.
Each section that has been Successfully deciphered will grant the host a respective ability that is unimaginable in power.
Origins of the scroll: Unknown
Systems recommendation: Meditating on the scroll will further advance your understanding, once you finish understanding and comprehending the profound meaning of the first section, you will naturally understand what the ability is }
"Phew…"
Itachi breathed in a wave of cold air…
" Truly interesting, to think I would gain an ability after comprehending the first section of the scroll. God knows what abilities the other 5 will give "
The scroll was about half a metre in length, almost encompassing Itachis small wing span.
Itachi laid the now open scroll on his bed, he closely examined the first letter and tried to imagine the letter in his head.
After about 30 minutes of doing the same thing, Itachi's normally composed self started scratching his head.
" Uhg! Meditating on the scroll isn't doing anything! I don't feel any minute changes "
This time Itachi decided to take another route, he calmed his breathing and freed his mind of distracting thoughts.
Itachi closed his eyes and imagined himself in a bottomless void, continuously sinking into nothingness. As he was sinking he imagined the image of the first inscription and focused on its content.
As Itachi was deep in meditation, he didn't realise it but the first letter of the inscription was now partly glowing with blue light. A few more minutes and the whole letter would be directly shining in blue light.
Meanwhile, Itachi had no clue what was going on in the outside world, he had long since entered a state of consciousness that rendered his outside world void. He would not wake up even if you budged him.
Within Itachi's mind, the bottomless void he was previously in had long disappeared, he was currently on a path made of grass, surrounded by a beautiful scenery, as though it was from a painting, the sun was out in its full might and the weather was calm and made one feel relaxed, a soft breeze was constantly blowing the grass right and left.
Beside the path Itachi was standing on was a long river that stretched endlessly, there were no waves on the surface of the river and it looked like a mirror. Calm and serene.
Itachi walked a few metres and then stood in front of the mirror-like river, he looked at his reflection and for a moment he was left stunned and confused…
" Who am I?…"
" Where am I?"
These questions kept tugging at Itachi's mind, he had completely lost his sense of time and being…
Itachi lifted his head up and stared off into the endless horizon and a deep sense of danger kept crawling within, his years of instincts were screaming at him to get out of here.
The surroundings were calm… A bit too calm.
He felt like within this place that was no different to a heavenly garden, a deep danger lurked within.
But of course, Itachi wasn't in his right state of mind right now. He ignored this feeling and decided to take a step and walk forward on the grass path, he didn't know what awaited him ahead but he decided to stride forward and see for himself.
He walked and walked, he kept walking forward tirelessly. Not stopping even for a breather.
After what seemed like an endless amount of time, the pathway finally came to an end. The river that spanned infinitely seemed to stretch on but the path he was walking on had been cut off. What lay at the end of the path was a small hut, smoke was coming out of the chimney.
A delicious waft of a smell assaulted Itachis's nostrils.
Contrary to Itachi's previous sense of danger from this world he was in, Itachi felt a sense of warmth as he looked at the small hut.
Following this trail of thought, Itachi walked forward and came to a stop in front of the wooden door.
The smell was now becoming stronger and Itachis's belly started rumbling, it was screaming at him to get some food in there.
Itachi straightened his back and turned the door handle.
Clickkk
As Itachi opened the door, he took a step and walked in. What awaited him ahead was a small table with 4 chairs around it.
Before Itachi could look anywhere else he heard the squeaky voice of a kid.
" Ni-San! You're finally here! Your back! Mother cooked us dinner, we have all been waiting for you! "
A small kid that was jumping up and down in excitement rushed towards Itachi and hugged his leg. He waved his small arms as he begged Itachi to lift him up. He looked cute as he enlarged his cheeks and stared at Itachi with puppy-like eyes.
" Ni-San, please lift me up, I want to reach your height! Come on Ni-San, you promised me you would lift me up! Pleaaaaaseee "
Itachi stared at this kid in bewilderment, he kept calling him older brother, but Itachi had no recollection of who this kid was.
" Hey, Sasuke! How many times did I tell you to leave your brother alone, he's been training all day. Come, sit down, let's eat dinner "
A middle-aged lady with fair skin walked in from the corridor, she was holding a large plate of steaming hot rice with both hands.
The kid named Sasuke pouted and rushed toward one of the chairs, the chair was almost his height; he struggled to climb it but eventually managed to sit down.
The middle-aged lady softly placed the large plate down on the table and turned her head towards the doorway.
" Itachi? Why are you staring off into space, come dinner is ready, your father will join us soon. Come let's eat, you must be tired, my dear son "
The middle-aged lady smiled as she spoke to Itachi.
" Mother look! Ni-San is crying… "
Sasuke's beady eyes stared at Itachi who was standing in the doorway, surprised by what was going on.
" Ehh? My dear son… Itachi, what's wrong? "
Itachi who was still in a state of confusion lightly touched his eyes and felt a stream of tears running down his cheeks.
" I'm crying? What's going on? Why are tears flowing down my face… Why do I have a strong sense of familiarity with the people in front of me? Why do they call me brother and son… Who are these people?…"
Itachi who was also surprised by the tears looked at the concerned gazes of the kid and lady in front of him, a strong sense of confusion was clouding his judgement.
Itachi decided to ignore these thoughts, and wiped the tears off his face with his sleeve, took a few steps forward and sat down on a seat beside Sasuke.
" Itachi… Your father will be here shortly, lets's start eating. Something has upset you, we'll talk about this after dinner "
Itachi unknowingly nodded his head and proceeded to pick up his chopsticks and dug into the food placed in front of him.
Sasuke who saw this smiled in delight and also started digging in, almost competing with his brother on who would finish first.
The middle-aged lady saw this and chuckled, she also sat down and started eating.
Whilst they were eating, a tall man with a stern face walked in.
" Ah, husband? You're here, Itachi just arrived as well "
The stern man nodded at the lady and took a seat.
Itachi who saw the man walk in glanced at him briefly and then went back to eating, although he felt strange here, for some reason he felt extremely happy. He didn't want to get up or leave this place. He felt a deep sense of longing.
He wanted to stay here forever.
The family of 4 spoke as they ate and the atmosphere was lively, whenever they asked Itachi a question, at first he was quiet but after a while he couldn't stop talking, even going so far as to laugh cheerfully with them.
" Husband… have you heard? They will be appointing Minato as Hokage soon… They are purposely disregarding you… It's not like your achievements were any less during the war… They have pushed our clan to the outskirts, when will they regard the Uchiha as part of Konoha "
All of a sudden the atmosphere grew tense, The stern man put down his chopsticks and looked at his wife.
" This is not the time to talk politics, we will discuss this at a later time… "
Itachi who was listening to this conversation was once again hit with a wave of confusion… The name Minato felt extremely familiar to him. He tried to remember but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember anything…
"Minato… Minato… where have I heard this name from? "
Itachi asked himself this but decided to leave these thoughts for another day. Right now he was truly too happy to stress himself out.
He wanted to sit here and talk with these people none stop.
And thus, Itachi took the initiative and spoke to these people some more, the atmosphere was once again jubilant and laughter could be heard throughout the dinner table.
But for some reason, Itachi still felt like something wasn't right… He couldn't wrap his head around what exactly it was.
But then all of sudden, as though responding to Itachi's thoughts, Itachi could faintly hear something echoing in his mind.
At first, it felt faint and distant, he couldn't make out what the voice was saying. But slowly the voice became louder and louder….
Before long, Itachi could make out what the voice was saying
' Wake up… Wake up… WAKE UP!!! YOU'RE IN DANGER!!! '
BOOM!
The last phrase resounded in Itachi's mind like a clap of thunder!
Itachi's eyes widened and an insanely strong sense of danger gripped his heart!
