Chapter 408: The Divine Weapon, Yata Mirror
Sōkai himself did not notice anything unusual. His emotions continued to rise and fall with the scenes in the genjutsu space, and finally, with the death of the space's master, he returned to a state of calm.
But by this time, Ishiro's attention was no longer on him but on two items that had appeared in the later scenes.
"So, it's the Sword of Totsuka and the Yata Mirror," Ishiro thought to himself. "It seems this is where Itachi Uchiha from the original story obtained his two divine weapons."
"In that case, Sōkai and I might not be in a Sharingan genjutsu space right now, but in the sealing space of the Sword of Totsuka."
"How do we get out? This sealing space should contain the will of that Uchiha. He was waiting for a descendant of his clan. He probably wouldn't trap Sōkai here to die; he should let him out."
"But what about me? I'm not going to be sealed in the Sword of Totsuka forever, am I?" Ishiro felt a little panicked.
Forcing himself to calm down, Ishiro began to analyze the reason he was able to enter. It should be the Mind's Eye. When Obito had awakened his Mangekyō, his own Mind's Eye had changed. The Second Tsuchikage, Mū, had been able to resonate with this genjutsu space by chance, which was also likely due to the Mind's Eye.
This time, it should still be the resonance between his Mind's Eye and the different dimension that had brought him in, though this time he had likely piggybacked on Sōkai.
Since that was the case, Ishiro took a step forward and grabbed Sōkai's arm.
Sōkai had originally been immersed in the genjutsu. The moment Ishiro touched his arm, he snapped back to reality. And the moment he woke up was the moment the genjutsu space ejected him.
Ishiro pushed his Mind's Eye to its maximum, carefully probing along the direction the genjutsu space was pulling Sōkai. Found it. My main body.
Then, Ishiro quickly recalled some of the descriptions from the Spirit Transformation Technique in his mind and controlled his own soul to rush towards his main body along that sensed path.
The next moment, Ishiro opened his eyes to find that he had fallen to the ground. Beside him was the equally bewildered Sōkai.
Ishiro got up and, while checking himself, asked, "Sōkai, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"
As soon as he asked, he froze, because he discovered that something was attached to his soul.
This... could this be... the Yata Mirror?
Ishiro was astonished. He searched again but found no Sword of Totsuka. Then the Sword of Totsuka should be on Sōkai. But with his current level, he is far from being able to use it. He probably can't even discover it.
Did the master of that genjutsu space mistake Sōkai and me for two Uchiha and give each of us a divine weapon?
Ishiro felt a pleasant surprise.
At this moment, Sōkai's anxious voice reached his ears. "Master Ishiro, what's wrong?"
Ishiro turned his head, smiled at Sōkai, and said, "It's nothing. What about you?"
Sōkai had been a little worried when Ishiro hadn't spoken, but now seeing that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. He shook his head. "I'm fine too."
Ishiro looked at the coffin, then up at the ceiling of the cavern. "Let's go back first. The Third is probably getting anxious."
"Mm," Sōkai replied.
When Ishiro flew out of the deep hole with Sōkai, Ōnoki was still pondering the matter of Ishiro's unsealed Porcelain Release. Seeing the two return, Ōnoki asked, "Back so soon? Did you find anything?"
Ishiro was taken aback. Soon? I should have been in that genjutsu space for a very long time.
Fortunately, he had seen the Tsukuyomi from the original story and quickly understood. It had seemed like a long time for him and Sōkai in that space, but in the outside world, it had only been an instant.
Taking a deep breath, Ishiro said to Ōnoki, "The time outside was just a moment, but we lived a lifetime underground."
Ōnoki was puzzled.
Ishiro explained, "The two of us entered a genjutsu space and witnessed the entire life of an Uchiha inside."
Ōnoki was astonished. "So, the person below really is from the Uchiha clan?"
Ishiro nodded. "There's no mistake. An Uchiha, and one who had awakened the Mangekyō."
"The Mangekyō Sharingan?" Ōnoki was shocked. "Another Mangekyō? The same kind of eyes as Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha?"
Ishiro nodded. "That's right. But that's not important anymore. What's important is that in the genjutsu space, Sōkai's Sharingan has upgraded."
"Huh?" The one who made the sound was Sōkai himself. He still didn't know about his Sharingan's upgrade. He hurriedly activated his eyes and took out a kunai. In its reflection, he clearly saw his own eyes.
Two tomoe in his left eye, and three in his right.
Ōnoki at the side was dumbfounded. "How is this possible? How old is Sōkai? He already has a three-tomoe?"
Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Do you know when that Uchiha clan's famed genius, Shisui Uchiha, awakened his three-tomoe?"
Ishiro shook his head. "I haven't paid attention to that. But the Uchiha clan has produced another genius now. It's Fugaku Uchiha's son, named Itachi Uchiha, a weirdo Uchiha who possesses the Will of Fire. I don't know if he has awakened his eyes yet."
Ōnoki had no interest in the unheard-of Itachi. He patted the head of Sōkai, who was still excitedly looking at his Sharingan, and said with some emotion, "I really don't understand the Uchiha clan. I used to think Sōkai's talent was very average."
"Hmph," Sōkai shook his head, dodging Ōnoki's hand, and snorted.
Ōnoki didn't mind. Sōkai had lived in his house since he was very young, and Ōnoki saw him as his own descendant.
Ishiro said, "There's one more thing. The Uchiha underground had obtained two divine weapons in his lifetime: the legendary Sword of Totsuka and the Yata Mirror."
"After so many years, the fact that his genjutsu space could be preserved is most likely because of these two divine weapons."
At this point, Ishiro paused, then continued, "After leaving the genjutsu space, I discovered an extra item in my soul's hands. It is precisely the Yata Mirror."
"What?" Ōnoki was greatly shocked. "You obtained the divine weapon, the Yata Mirror?"
Ishiro nodded. "That's right. It's just that my soul can't actively leave my body yet, so I can't take it out to show you."
Ōnoki was overjoyed. "It doesn't matter if I can see it or not. You only got the Yata Mirror, not the Sword of Totsuka?"
Ishiro's gaze fell on Sōkai. "I guess the Sword of Totsuka should be on Sōkai."
Sōkai blinked. "I didn't take anything!"
Ishiro was amused by him. "You will know in the future."
Sōkai was exasperated. "Master Ishiro, you're doing this again!"
After his anger passed, he asked again, "Master Ishiro, what's this about the Mangekyō Sharingan you were just talking about? And that Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha."
"I know Madara Uchiha; he is an ancestor of our clan. But who is this Obito Uchiha?"
Sōkai had heard the conversation between Ishiro and Ōnoki just now, and he had many questions.
Ishiro couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You'll find out in the future," he said, still laughing.
"Arrrgh!" Sōkai was exasperated and lunged at him.
Ishiro easily dodged with a body flicker. The two of them, one chasing and one fleeing, returned to the group.
Ōnoki was helpless. He used Earth Release to seal the hole, then also went to join the team.
This accident was a great boon for Ishiro. The upgrade of Sōkai's Sharingan and the two divine weapons were all pleasant surprises.
This journey of Ōnoki's through the ninja world is opening one dungeon after another for me.
The next morning, everyone found that both Ōnoki and Ishiro had smiles on their faces, as if they had gotten another huge advantage over Konoha.
Kawakita's status was different. He walked to Ishiro's side and asked in a low voice, "Master Ishiro, did you get any results from investigating that grave last night?"
Although he hadn't come out last night, he knew that Ishiro and the others had gone to the small mound. But they had returned very quickly, so he had thought there were no gains. Now, seeing the expressions on their faces, the situation was probably not as he had thought.
Ishiro took him aside and recounted the events of last night in detail, leaving Kawakita calling it magical. Although he had already become a Quasi-Kage and served as a village advisor, in terms of knowledge, he was still far behind Ōnoki and Ishiro. What Ishiro had said sounded too mysterious to him. If not for seeing Ishiro's serious expression, and considering that he was now a village advisor and Ishiro probably wouldn't tease him, he would have seriously suspected that Ishiro was just looking for some twisted fun, just like when he had been their team leader back then.
Finally, Ishiro said, "I don't have time now. When I do, I'll learn the S-rank ninjutsu, the Spirit Transformation Technique. Then I'll let you all see the legendary divine weapon."
Kawakita nodded. Although he couldn't stand Ishiro's showing off, he had to admit, he was really looking forward to it.
The group did not leave in a hurry but stayed here for another ten-odd days.
Because this area was exceptionally quiet, and the discussions between Ishiro and Ōnoki on Kekkei Tōta would produce quite a bit of noise, this place was just right.
And indeed, during these ten-odd days, it was a Dust Release from you now, and a Light Release from me later. Sometimes, their two Kekkei Tōta would even have a clash. From time to time, they would create a huge commotion. If this were in an inhabited area, such a large disturbance would have long attracted the attention of the Land of Rice Paddies' Daimyo and their hidden village. But in this uninhabited area, it didn't matter.
"Dust Release: Boundary Stripping Technique!"
"Light Release: Boundary Stripping Technique!"
Ishiro and Ōnoki, separated by a very great distance, had a clash of their ultimate moves.
There was no earth-shattering explosion. When the white light and the blue light met in the air, they were silently annihilated. But in the area around where the two lights met, a large patch of the mountain and ground directly vanished into nothingness.
Ishiro and Ōnoki both breathed a sigh of relief. This move was risky. A slight carelessness, and the two might have been annihilated together.
