Chương 6: Illusion Sword of Mount Hua

---

// Well, the word count decreased but there were three scenes, and I tried to make the dialogues better or maybe I just made them worse.

There are two types of Dialogue used in the chapter ,read the chapter and tell me in the comments which one seemed better to you. //

Sect Leader (relaxed face): "Hahaha, that's good to know. It feels like two long-lost brothers reuniting after many years."

"Again, I am sorry for your current situation," said the Sect Leader with softened eyes.

Shisui (lips parted): "No, Sect Leader, it's not your fault."

"It's just that your disciple mistook me for a beggar. Although I hate them the most, I would have done worse to them," he said with a sadistic smile on his face.

Hearing that, there was an awkward atmosphere in the room, but the talks continued about Shisui's past, and everyone just ignored the last statement. Everyone present was happy as Mount Hua was getting back on track to prosperity once again.

"If not for your great-grandad, Uchiha Kagami, even the Plum Blossom Sword Saint might not have been killed without more sacrifices. Alas, all the survivors were killed during the Devil Sect attack on Mount Hua."

"But still, no one can deny his contribution of stopping the Heavenly Demon for a few seconds by sacrificing his three-tomoe Sharingan."

"So three-tomoe Sharingan was that powerful. How many tomoe have you awakened so far?" asked Yoon Jong.

Hyun Yong (elder who maintains finance): "Nonsense, the previous Illusion Sword awakened one tomoe at the age of 19 and created a record of being the youngest Uchiha ever to awaken the Sharingan. It typically awakens at the age of 24-27, and sometimes it doesn't awaken at all. So you can expe-"

A cold voice interrupted Hyun Yong.

(raising his head to face the Sect Leader) "I have already awakened the single tomoe," Shisui said while opening his eyes and showing his spinning one-tomoe Sharingan.

This scene made everyone present hold their breath. This was their first time standing in front of those cursed eyes. No one knows why they are called cursed eyes. Maybe because a curse is the first thing their opponents say when facing them.

*Fuck, these cursed eyes still look as breathtaking as they used to. It still gives me chills thinking about the three-tomoe of Senior Kagami. One mistake is enough to get you caught in an illusion, and it's over. Although I am confident I would never make that mistake.*

"Cough, cough, I am sorry. It seems my body is not in good condition to handle its load right now."

This made everyone relax and catch their breath. Yes, they held their breath until he closed his eyes (of course, Chung Myung was an exception. It looked breathtaking, but do you expect one tomoe to make him hold his breath? Nope , it's never gonna happen).

"Ahem, ahem, you didn't have to push your body too much."

"You should just rest. We will take our leave."

"Yes."

Everyone takes their leave.

There was no talk among any members about it that day.

At night, staring at the stars with nothing to do, Shisui was lying in bed when he got an unexpected visitor.

"Yo! Wassup, feeling alone? Wanna drink?"

"Nah, I am not interested in drinking."

"It's medicine, you know."

"..."

"To me at least."

"So why are you here?"

"Well, I thought you would be eager to challenge me again for a duel."

"Cough, cough, no, I already got my medicine."

"Oh really! You know, maybe you can win this time and I might get caught in your illusion."

"Nah, it's not gonna happen. So tell me your real reason for your visit."

"Well, I am here to give you a reward for speaking the truth."

"...."

"YES! Take this!"

Handing out a reddish-pink pill.

"Well, this is a reward, but what am I supposed to do with it? I will waste most of the energy this pill contains at my best as my techniques for circulating energy are not that good and I can't even circulate energy as it hurts too much right now."

"Why? Did those beggars refuse to teach you!?"

A tick formed on Shisui's head.

"Well, this is not the reward. I will teach you how to circulate it. You use the equilibrium technique of Mount Hua, right? Pay close attention to it or maybe use your eyes."

With a nod, Chung Myung placed his hand on Shisui's back and started circulating the energy while giving instructions. This whole process took one hour.

Afterward, one boy felt refreshed like never before and the other seemed tired as if he was about to pass out. Circulating energy in someone else's body is way harder and a small mistake might paralyze both of them.

Chung Myung threw a book on Shisui's chest.

"This is a manual of techniques for the Sharingan. Learn what you think is useful to you."

"Did the Sect Leader order you to give me this?"

"No, I just accidentally tripped and found a box with this book inside."

Shisui intently stared at him.

"Umm, sure buddy, I trust you (why would I even complain about it)."

"Yes, and you should just imitate the circulation like we did today. In a few days, you will be ready to take it."

A gust of wind flowed through the room.

"MF."

Shisui started to meditate and in a blink, the whole night passed.

In the morning,

"Sect Leader, it will only take a few days for him to recover. His recovery speed is very high."

"OF COURSE! He is the most talented Uchiha. Have you ever heard of the awakening of the Sharingan at the age of 13? Even the greatest Illusion Sword, Uchiha Kagami, awakened it at the age of 19," says Hyun Yong.

"Calm down. Opening the Sharingan doesn't make him better than Uchiha Kagami," says the Sect Leader.

"Yes, right now he may not be, but from what I have heard about the Sharingan, won't having it awakened ensure his terrifying growth? I think in only a few years he will catch up with our second-class disciples," says Un Gum.

"That is true. Make sure you train him well, Un Gum."

"The conference is right around the corner. We wouldn't want our future Illusion Sword to suffer defeat."

"Future? Isn't he the only Uchiha right now?" asks Hyun Sang.

"Yes, he is, but there are more conditions to become one and he is too young."

"But doesn't he fulfill those conditions? He already awakened the Sharingan, so technically he is the Illusion Sword."

"And being young is not a reason to deny him."

"But... it will give him the power of an elder and I think he is too young for that."

"Why not do it like in the past? When Kagami became the Illusion Sword, he was also a second-class disciple. He was given the power of a sub-elder."

"He is just a third-class disciple."

"So what? Third-class disciples can't even go anywhere and if he misuses the power inside, we will strip him of his powers."

"That's a good idea."

"From now on, Uchiha Shisui is given the title of Illusion Sword and his powers will be those of a sub-elder."

There was no objection to that as no one wanted to go against those cursed eyes.

But maybe there was someone who wasn't happy with this.

*This fucker comes and shows off his eyes and becomes a sub-elder. And here I, the Plum Blossom Sword Saint, am treated as a third-class disciple. I think I should give him a beating. Oh no, I already gave him too much yesterday. Maybe wait a few days until he joins training,* Chung Myung twistedly giggled inside.

Somewhere else,

"Why do I suddenly feel shivers all over my body while meditating?"

// So, how was the chapter? Did you guys find the description in the chapter enough/over/less? //
