Chapter 4 What does the protagonist want?
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Yoshino was holding a rag and tidying up in the living room, when he was looking at Lu Jiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the tatami mat, as if he was looking at something, with a sad face.
"Shikamaru bought a book."
"What's the big deal about buying a book." Yoshino rubbed the short table in front of Shikaku. Although she is a ninja with good combat effectiveness, since marrying Shikaku, Yoshino has devoted herself to housework, no different from an ordinary housewife.
"Although our Shikamaru hobby is a bit strange, how much does a book cost? Husband, did you use this bitter gourd face? β
"Ji Nai, you can take a look at this bill first!"
Lu Jiu covered his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to look at the numbers on them.
"Oh my god!" Ji Nai was a little unconcerned at first, but when she saw the numbers on the bill clearly, her mouth became O-shaped.
"How can a book be so expensive? Has my Shikamaru been scammed? How can it be reasonable, he is still a child! Ji Nai had a calf protection expression, as if he wanted to seek justice for his son.
"If only someone had cheated on you!"
Lu Jiu's face was helpless, if he was really deceived by illegal merchants, with the Nara family's status in Konoha, would it still be uneven?
In fact, the ancient book called "Age of Mythology" that Shikamaru bought was a priceless one. According to the amount on this bill, there is no doubt that the other party has also discounted.
This kid is really good at picking things!
"No, we can't let this kid go on like this."
When Shikaku found Shikamaru, as usual, he was rummaging through his newly purchased treasure in the hallway next to the courtyard.
Lu Jiu exhaled deeply, I don't know what happened, every time he faced this child, when he saw his dead fish eyes, he always felt a pressure.
"Odamaru-chan, are you tired of reading the book for so long? Will I play with my father? β
Lu Jiu hesitated, wanting to take a gentle route first.
Shikamaru looked up, glanced at Shikaku with a pair of dead fish eyes, and said, "Learning makes me happy!" β
"Playing once in a while is good for your learning efficiency?"
"How old are you, and you just think about playing all day. Is there enough money to be made from milk powder? Is my wife's cosmetics money enough? Is there enough money to hire a babysitter? Nothing, embarrassed to say that he is a wealthy family of Konoha? β
Although Lu Jiu has been said by many people in his life, it is the first time from the mouth of a one- or two-year-old child.
"Who do you say, boy? You haven't been staring at other people's little girls all day long! β
"O mortal wisdom!"
Shikamaru disdainfully helped the glasses that didn't exist, and a pair of dead fish rolled their eyes, undoubtedly revealing a meaning, despising you!
At this moment, Lu Jiu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and lifted Lu Maru, "Lao Tzu is going to teach you a lesson today!" Children should be like children, don't pretend to be old all day long. β
When Shikaku finished speaking, Shikamaru cried.
Wail!
At this moment, Shikamaru finally had the childlike appearance that Shikaku expected.
But he had some doubts in his heart, why did he cry before he fought?
It's just that the next moment, Lu Jiu finally understood. Because a pair of hands that were rough because of housework had grabbed his ears, "What are you bastards doing?" People of this age bully children! β
"Ji Nai, it's not like this, you listen to my explanation!" Although Lu Jiu often says self-comforting things in front of others that a woman will become gentle in front of a beloved man, in fact, he is a real wife.
Shikamaru watched Lujiu being taken away by Yoshino, and shook his head, don't look at Lujiu's uncomfortable look, but don't mention how beautiful it is in my heart!
Shikamaru picks up the Mythical Era that fell to the ground.
Shikamaru, who was hoping to find some clues from it, was disappointed in the end, the content recorded on it is lackluster, just some legends!
"What do you want? Souls who don't belong to this world! β
A long sound echoed in the courtyard for a long time. At this moment, Shikamaru looked around in almost surprise, the figures of Shikaku and Yoshino were not far away, and they didn't notice anything unusual here, as if the two were already in a different world.
"Who?"
Shikamaru shouted. You know, in today's ninja world, who still has this kind of power, who can instantly cut through the void and come and go freely in the layer-by-layer defense of Konoha Village?
"Are you wondering why you can't feel your two powers to condense Chakra!"
A middle-aged man quietly appeared in front of Shikamaru, his face very calm.
The man's face was so ordinary that no one would notice him even in the crowd. If there is something special, it is the gentle smile on the face, which gives people a feeling of thickness and reliability.
"You're... Uncle Yile! β
It's just a one-sided relationship, but Shikamaru still recognizes him. When I went out with Nohara Rin that day, I went to his ramen shop with Obito.
It's just that the person standing in front of Shikamaru now is no longer the hospitable and skilled ramen chef. Because his eyes are not black pupils and white pores, but instead they are circled with circular lines.
Reincarnation Eye!
"You're not Uncle Yiraku?"
"I'm Yiraku, but Ichiraku isn't me. Souls who don't belong to this world! The person in front of him has exactly the same face as Yile, but the tone and demeanor are completely different, and there seems to be an indifference to the world.
The other party revealed his biggest secret in one word, but Shikamaru did not panic and gently put down the book he was holding. It's not that Shikamaru isn't afraid, but he knows that the disparity in strength between him and the other party is too great, and there is no chance of winning at all.
"You just said I can't condense chakra, how do you know?"
"Your soul does not belong to this world, so naturally you can't condense Chakra, which belongs to the power of the Big Barrel Wood clan."
"The power of the Big Barrel Wood Clan?"
"The Okumaki clan planted the seeds of the sacred tree in the earth, and used the natural energy of this world as a nourishment, and after thousands of years, gradually matured, in order to be the chakra fruit that contains great power. And the people of this world more or less have the blood of the six immortals, so they can use chakra, but you can't, because your soul does not belong to this world. β
"How do you know?" Shikamaru asked a little strangely.
"It's also thanks to my special abilities."
Yile pointed to his eyes and said slowly, "My Hitomi can see the future that hasn't happened yet. Let's just say that the kid who often comes to my shop to eat noodles brings soil! Passionate, naΓ―ve, hardworking, and bent on becoming the Hokage, who would have thought that he would be the key to the survival of the entire ninja world. β
I'll go! This thing actually has such a perverted ability. And as the protagonist, he doesn't even have a golden finger yet. Shikamaru was extremely depressed at this moment.
"But it wasn't long ago that I realized that the future had changed. I was looking for this future-changing factor until I found out about your existence that day! Now can you tell me what you want? β
"If I say I don't know, will you believe me?"
Yile smiled, turned his back, and put his hands behind his back, "Back then, the four of our sisters and brothers married Jin Lan, and the eldest sister Hui Ye won the forbidden fruit to become a god, immortal and immortal. The second brother peach-style forcible seizure, rampant expropriation, and treating living beings as nothing. The third brother Yuye is dedicated to cultivation and wants to stand on the top of all things. And I am the only one who looks down on the strife of this world and lives in exile in the cracks of time. For thousands of years, I have been accustomed to seeing the rise and fall of life and death. β
Shikamaru looked at the middle-aged man who was caught in some kind of thought, but saw him slowly turn around and said, "That's it! Everyone has their own choice. Natural energy can be converted into chakra, and the only way to achieve success in cultivation is to choose the third method in this book. β
"Tame the energy of nature?"
"That's right." Yile nodded and said, "Your soul does not belong to this world, and naturally you don't need to be bound by the rules of this world. If you promise to do me a favor, I can give you this method that has been handed down from ancient times and even Kaguya doesn't even know about it! β
Seeing a slight touch of Ichiraku's hand, Shikamaru felt a surge of power in his body. At this moment, Shikamaru's perception became very sensitive, and the surrounding violent natural energy tried to enter his body. But the moment the natural energy really touched his skin, he became extremely docile.
"At this point, you have mastered this method, but there are still a few natural energies that can be tamed. Although you are not bound by the rules of this world, you can easily cross a level that is difficult for ordinary people to cross, but the next practice still depends on yourself. If one day, you can really harness the natural energy completely, then you need to turn on the immortal mode like Yu Yi and his descendants, because you are an immortal yourself! β
Shikamaru thought for a moment and said, "What do you want me to do?" β
"In that foreseeable future, don't hurt Kaguya!" After saying that, Ichiraku's figure disappeared in front of Shikamaru, and everything in front of him had returned to its original state.
