Chapter 10: The Lower Limits can always be pushed further
Chapter 10: The Lower Limits can always be pushed further
Recently, the Uchiha police force has been growing increasingly irritable and aggressive in handling disputes. Their attitudes have become more and more rough.
The number of radicals has surpassed the number of pacifists. In clan meetings, every Uchiha’s speeches lean more and more towards rebellion. They view all this as baseless suspicion of their village being problematic.
Currently, the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, is powerful, and the strongest Uchiha, Sharingan, has activated the fabled Mangekyu. The number of activated Sharingan users within the clan is quite significant, all of them elite shinobi, and none have ever fallen short of the village's strength.
Considering the severity of the rebellion, they couldn’t make a decision immediately, especially with some pacifists still around, so they have temporarily endured it.
This level of endurance is based on Uchiha Fugaku concealing that he also has activated the Mangekyu. If the clan found out that there were actually two Mangekyu users, it’s likely that no one could resist taking action.
This clan leader isn’t as foolish as he seems. He is indeed with the radicals, but he also understands that this fight isn’t as easy as it seems.
After the Third Shinobi War, Konoha has seen a decline in recent years. The White Fang is dead, and the Third Hokage has left the village. The Fourth Hokage died in the war, and the Pillar has yet to grow. Even the Third is in his twilight years, and the village has lost the vigor of its former shinobi.
The new generation hasn’t had enough time to grow, and the older generation has been dealing with issues. Compared to its prime, Konoha now seems like a village that has stopped turning, and the windmills need a strong gust to blow away the decaying atmosphere.
But even with the decline in talent, Konoha still has many loyal Uchiha supporters, including Yaman, Inuzuka, Akimichi, and Nara, as well as the Anbu and Root.
Even if they win, it’s a Pyrrhic victory, and the other four great shinobi villages find it hard to let this opportunity pass without causing trouble for their people, and winning doesn’t guarantee recognition of their rule in the village.
So, Uchiha Fugaku hasn’t revealed that he has the Mangekyu, partly to keep a trump card for the war, and partly because if the strength isn’t overwhelming, the internal battle is self-destructive.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Luk.
After all, he is just a harmless individual, with a clear background and no alignment with the Konoha villagers.
More than the village’s and Uchiha’s conflicts, he is more concerned about his girlfriend. After having a girlfriend, the time he spends on chakra refinement has decreased, but his gains are significant.
With mutual attraction, his relationship with Shikamaru has rapidly progressed, and they smoothly transitioned from holding hands to kissing. However, they got stuck at the last step.
When Luk invited shikamaru to his home to watch his cat perform acrobatics, shikamaru struggled to resist the temptation, indicating that this event should be reserved for their honeymoon night.
Fortunately, the matter was resolved well.
Shikamaru then blushedly told Luk that there will never be just one way to solve problems.
Not a moment was spent on Luk’s regrets, and the next arrival was shikamaru’s wisdom!
After eating so many noodles shikamaru brought, Luk finally managed to cook ramen himself. The only regret was that the portion was too large, and shikamaru couldn’t finish even half.
No worries, just more practice!
After another practice session, the two enjoyed a moment of rest, and Luk managed to send shikamaru back before it got dark, successfully seeing the old man standing outside the shop with a less-than-friendly look.
Luk: (ˇˇ)
Seeing his father’s face, he recalled the recent events, and Luk felt a bit embarrassed.
Especially now, with a bit of satisfaction on his face, shikamaru’s face was still flushed, and the red-cheeked face had experience.
No way, the two were too close, Two steps, and they were there.
"Stay away from my shop, Luk!"
His hand clenched a tooth, and it took him half a day to squeeze out that sentence.
He had just finished speaking, and shikamaru, who was a bit nervous, immediately stood up to support his boyfriend.
"Dad, you're being a bit too much. Luk hasn't done anything wrong. Why are you pushing him out?"
He stomped his foot and waved his hand, "This is my shop, and I have the final say. If I don't allow him in, he's not coming in."
"Then I won't be sleeping at home tonight!"
Oh, oh.
Luk's eyes lit up, and he couldn't agree more, He promised not to do anything, and Shangpu spent the night in his room safely!
He stomped his foot and waved his hand again...
He was threatened once more.
Under his father's furious gaze, Shangpu kissed Luk on the cheek, "Don't blame my dad. He's also worried about you."
"It's fine, I understand."
Luk's face showed a hint of hesitation. Compared to this, he thought it was more important to cultivate the habit of brushing teeth after meals with his girlfriend.
After returning home, Luk practiced his binding techniques as usual. As night deepened, he lay in bed, slowly closing his eyes.
...
"Hey, you're here!"
In the mysterious space, the pirate Luk was holding a bamboo sword, swinging it in the air. Seeing the approaching Hokage Tower Luk, he stopped his sword practice.
Although his spirit wasn't tired in the mysterious space, boredom was inevitable. Luk often spent his time exercising.
"Hmm," Hokage Tower Luk nodded and stepped forward, bumping into Pirate Luk.
Pirate Luk looked envious, "That was quick. It's great. We even share the same food in the canteen's cafeteria."
"If you can't resist attacking your senior, I won't share with you anymore. After that, the Shinigami Luk will remind you."
Hokage Tower Luk worried about making mistakes, so he took a precautionary measure.
"Who would do such a thing?" Pirate Luk was speechless.
That was hard to say. Hokage Tower Luk silently snorted, men's desires could be overwhelming. Even the smallest bottle of energy could cause trouble.
Pirate Luk: ... We are all Luk. Did you think I didn't know what you were thinking?
With such a small mouth, it was hard to believe that he was over two meters tall, with such exaggerated proportions. He couldn't fit in anywhere in his past life!
Hmm... This was his calculated result. He had never tried it in his past life.
After a few more blows, pirate Luk rested after his shift. He felt a bit lonely and needed to beat up a senior to vent his frustrations.
Once he left, Hokage Tower Luk began his training.
Luk's soul entered the mysterious space, relying on physical enhancements wasn't possible. Only through rigorous practice could he refine his skills and strengthen his will. Pirate Luk's sword practice was to hone his swordsmanship, while he mainly practiced Kido.
For now, Luk couldn't achieve B-rank or higher jutsu. Even with C-rank and D-rank techniques, he had the opportunity to obtain them, but low-rank techniques were neither as powerful nor practical as Kido. So, he naturally chose to practice Kido.
The control of knowledge in both worlds was drastically different.
In the Shinigami world, the Kido Academy was a true institution. Kido techniques ranged from the lowest 1 to the highest 99. As long as you learned, you wouldn't hide anything. All the knowledge was laid before you. If your strength was sufficient, you wouldn't be held back. If you were capable, you could join the 13th Division and even challenge a seat.
What a great learning and working environment!
In the Hokage Tower world, even the lowest-level Bunshin techniques were kept secret from civilians. High-level jutsu techniques were guarded with great achievements and weren't taught to the masses. The highest-level jutsu were directly classified as forbidden techniques, sealed and not taught, or only known in a small circle.
However, such handling wasn't too biased. After all, the forbidden techniques in the Hokage Tower were truly powerful and widely influential. Once someone with determination obtained them, it was a significant upheaval.
Luk extended a finger, channeling the Chakra within him, and softly chanted.
"Break the Fourth Path, White lightning!"
The old man's DLC data was real.
That attack desire and frequency, the black sword's second phase, both shook their heads.
