Chapter 6 Prequel Mission 1: Descendants of Aliens
Based on Mangon's situation, Minato Namikaze came up with another solution, which was to seal up the excess chakra in Mangon's body first, and then unseal it after he could master the chakra.
[After being sealed, can I still use ninjutsu? ] Shingon wrote.
"You can retain a small amount of chakra that you can control." Namikaze Minato said, "This sealing technique is a ninjutsu of the Uzumaki clan. You need to cooperate when using it. Don't resist."
Shingon nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he saw Namikaze Minato made several seals with his hands. It was very fast. Before he could react, his hands had already slapped him. This slap scared him so much that he almost jumped up. Fortunately, he remembered Namikaze Minato's previous reminder in time, so he calmed himself down...
Namikaze Minato withdrew his hand and said, "Okay."
Zhenyan blinked and said hesitantly: "Okay?"
"Yeah." Namikaze Minato also let out a sigh of relief.
"Fourth-generation brother, thank you so much!" Shingon thought that Namikaze Minato was a good village chief. Not only did he help him solve the problem, but in order not to hurt his self-esteem, he lied that it was not that he had no talent, but that he could not control it because he refined too much chakra at one time.
Sensing the chakra in his body, Zhenyan became more and more certain of his thoughts. The chakra he refined was not much to begin with, and after sealing up a part of it, now only less than one-tenth was left. He could only control this little bit of chakra at a time. How could he be considered a talent?
"By the way, Fourth Brother, how do we remove this seal?" Zhenyan asked again. Diligence can make up for lack of talent. He must practice diligently and strive to control chakra independently as soon as possible.
"Once you are proficient in controlling chakra, you can use chakra to break the seal." Namikaze Minato said, sensing the "Fourth Generation Brother" still circulating in his mind, he couldn't help but add, "If Shingon wants to learn ninjutsu, he can consider the Uchiha's Sharingan and Fire Style."
Shingen nodded to show that he remembered it, and then looked at the Fourth Hokage.
"Anything else?" asked Minato Namikaze.
Zhenyan thought for a moment and talked about his recent plans: "It's like this, the clan leader uncle asked me to manage the clan land outside the village, and I plan to plant some crops. Does the fourth generation brother know which crops are easy to grow?"
"This..." Namikaze Minato didn't know much about planting, but he thought about the vegetables in the market and gave his own suggestions, "I think radishes and the like should be easier to grow."
"Radish?" Zhenyan seemed to be confused. "But if radish loses water, it will also wither, right?"
Namikaze Minato frowned, not understanding why Shinon would ask such an obvious question.
"If I rehydrate the radish before it completely wilts, will it still survive?"
Hearing this, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but freeze in his tracks, because when Shingon spoke, his chakra leaked out again...
This chakra leakage was not an accident, but was intentional by Shingon, because the task given by the system was to ensure the safe birth of the protagonist of this world, the Fourth Hokage's child, and according to his understanding, the most likely factor that would affect the protagonist was Kushina's special identity as a human sacrifice.
If the Jinchūriki loses the Tailed Beast, he will die. As his mother Kushina has an accident, the protagonist estimates that she will also be in danger, so he has to find a way to eliminate the danger brought by the Jinchūriki. After thinking about it, he can only think of one way.
Since losing the tailed beast will result in death, what if we replenish the tailed beast?
Shingo wasn't sure if this was possible, and Uchiha Mikoto had told him that the identity of the Chūriki was sensitive and couldn't be mentioned in the village, so he could only say it in this euphemistic way.
"I'm sorry, Fourth Brother, I didn't control myself well." Shingon apologized to Minato Namikaze who was stunned by his words, and before he could react, he said, "Fourth Brother, I'm going to buy some radish seeds. See you next time!"
Shingon left the Hokage Building briskly and went directly to the seed shop, where he bought a large bag of white radish seeds. Just as he was about to go back with the seeds, the system that had not been seen for a long time appeared again.
[There is a problem with the host! ] The voice of the spiritual system was urgent.
[What's wrong?] Zhenyan also responded quickly.
[The current mission’s deviation rate has increased by 5%!] Although 5% is not high, it is only a pre-situation mission now. Once we enter the main story, this 5% will definitely be magnified. [We need to find out the reason for the increase in the deviation rate as soon as possible...]
Zhenyan didn't expect the deviation rate to increase, because he was trying to solve a potential problem that might affect the birth of the protagonist. Could it be that his method didn't work? If so, it should be known after verification. It's impossible to get the result so quickly, so the problem is probably not on the protagonist's side.
Zhenyan suddenly looked at the carrot seeds he had just bought. Everything was fine before. It was because he bought this bag of seeds that the deviation rate increased, so...
[Is there something wrong with this packet of seeds? ]
Inspiration system: [? ? ? ]
[I just bought a bag of carrot seeds. I suspect that these seeds have mutated and may grow into carrot spirits, which will then invade the ninja world and eventually change the main storyline...] Shingon thinks that the existence of chakra in the ninja world is very mysterious, and that some mutated species are also normal.
Inspiration system: […………]
[The increase in the deviation rate is a very serious matter. The host must find out the cause of the abnormality in the spiritual world as soon as possible and then make corrections.] The spiritual system is very worried.
[Okay.] Zhenyan replied, and comforted the system, [Don't worry, don't we still have 95% room for growth?]
Inspiration system: […………]
...
In the following period of time, Shingon was very busy. He had to learn to control chakra, and the Fourth Hokage gave him advice to practice the Uchiha's unique Sharingan. In addition, he had to investigate the reason for the increase in the deviation rate. In order to verify whether it was the problem with the radish seeds, he needed to plant the radish seeds and observe...
Regarding cultivation, he still consulted his genius brother Uchiha Itachi. According to Itachi, chakra control requires climbing trees and treading water. As for the Sharingan, not every Uchiha can open it, but during wartime, more people can open it. As for the reason for opening the eyes, it is mostly because of the death of relatives and friends, which has caused great stimulation and drastic emotional fluctuations...
Will he be stimulated and have violent emotional fluctuations? After hearing these two points, Zhenyan felt that he might have no hope of opening his eyes, because he dared not say anything else. The only thing he was confident of was that he had a good attitude. When he was talking to the grandfather and the grandmother in Honghua Village, his eyes never got red once...
How can he open his eyes to this...
After thinking it over, Shingo finally asked Itachi for help again: "Fight with me."
Itachi tilted his head slightly to one side, as if he didn't quite understand what Zhenyan said.
"I want to try and see if losing a fight can stimulate my eyes to open," Zhenyan explained.
Itachi: “…”
Itachi brought Shingon to the Uchiha training ground, and before he started, he reminded Shingon: "Get ready, I'm going to attack."
Zhenyan nodded carefully: "Come on..."
Three seconds later, Shingon fell to the ground. Itachi didn't even use chakra. He defeated him with just physical skills. It turned out that he had no talent.
Although he thought so, Zhenyan did not feel frustrated. After all, everyone has their own strengths, and what he is best at is helping the villagers solve problems...
From his observation, the villagers of Konoha are very friendly and there is no need for him at the moment. However, he does not intend to take the salary of the police department for nothing. Since the last time he and Itachi left the village, he found that there is a severe shortage of transportation in the ninja world. He is currently considering introducing a few bicycles to the village to improve the travel difficulties of the villagers of Konoha...
As Shingon was lost in thought, a hand suddenly reached out to him. He subconsciously grabbed it, and then he was pulled up by Itachi.
Itachi looked at the absent-minded Shingon and suddenly said, "It doesn't matter if you don't open your eyes."
"Hmm?" Shingon looked at Itachi in confusion.
Itachi pursed his lips. He wanted to say that opening one's eyes was actually a very painful thing. If possible, he hoped that Managao and Sasuke could grow up healthily under the protection of their family and village, and never experience the feeling of opening their eyes.
"I can protect you." In the end, Itachi only said this.
Shingon was stunned for a moment, then he smiled with his eyes curved: "Thank you, Itachi."
"What are you two doing here?" A young man with black curly hair walked over from outside the training ground.
Itachi turned around and saw it was Shisui.
"Brother Shisui, Itachi is helping me open my eyes." Shingen explained the situation.
Uchiha Shisui was a little surprised and looked at Shingon: "Has Shingon learned to refine chakra?"
"I don't have any talent. I can only improve a little bit, and I can't control it well." Zhenyan said truthfully.
Uchiha Shisui put his hand on Shingon's head and said, "Being able to refine chakra is already amazing."
"Shisui, what are you doing here?" Itachi asked.
"The clan leader came to tell me to inform everyone to attend the family gathering in the main hall of the Nanhe Ancestral Hall tonight."
"Family gathering?" Zhenyan asked curiously, "Does everyone want to go?"
"Usually it's the ninjas in the family and members of the police department who participate." said Uchiha Shisui.
Although Shingon is not a ninja, he is a member of the police department, so he also participated in this meeting.
The location was the Uchiha Shrine on the Minamiga River. When Shingon and Itachi arrived, they found that there was no one there.
"Are we the first to arrive?" Zhenyan couldn't help but say.
Itachi looked at the floor, walked to the seventh tatami and lifted it up.
Shinon followed and found that there was a secret room under the tatami. There was flickering fire in the secret room and low voices coming from it. It was obviously the Uchiha people who arrived first.
Shingon followed Itachi all the way down the secret room. Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader, glanced at the two of them and looked away, while Itachi took Shingon and sat in the corner.
When most people had arrived, the clan leader began to speak. This time he mainly mentioned the family's development issues after the Third World War.
Zhenyan thought there would be some special ceremony, but after listening to a few sentences, he found that there was no difference between a family gathering and a meeting of village cadres. His attention gradually drifted away and fell on a stone tablet behind the patriarch.
"Itachi, can you understand what is written on that stone tablet?" Shingon pulled Itachi's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
"I can understand part of it." Itachi said.
Uchiha Fugaku glanced at the two people whispering above, and soon shifted his gaze to other young members of the family.
The Third World War had just ended, and both the village and the family needed to recuperate, but he also knew that there were some impatient young people in the family who were dissatisfied with the current situation of the family. This time, he thought that these young and energetic members of the family would stand up as usual and put forward some radical suggestions.
Uchiha Fugaku had already prepared a rebuttal, but to his surprise, no one stood up this time. Even Uchiha Feng and Uchiha Gin, who were the most impatient in the past, were so quiet that they did not express any opinions...
In the corner, Zhenyan was still pulling Itachi to ask, "What is written on the stone tablet?"
Itachi looked up at his father who was frowning and thinking, and explained to Shingon in a low voice: "It's said that a goddess descended from the sky a thousand years ago and brought chakra with her. The goddess' eldest son was the legendary Sage of Six Paths. The Sage of Six Paths inherited chakra and passed it on to the world. Uchiha is one of the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths... I can only interpret this much at the moment."
The Uchiha Stele has been erected here for a long time. Only the clan members who have opened the Sharingan can interpret the contents on it. The higher the level of the Sharingan, the more contents can be interpreted. Itachi now only has a magatama Sharingan, so he can only interpret a small part of the content at the beginning.
"Did the goddess really fall from the sky?" Zhenyan couldn't help but start to imagine, "Could it be aliens? Then aren't we the descendants of aliens?"
Itachi: “…………”!
