Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
Chapter 470: In Search of Sword of TotsukaUchiha Clan Ruins from the Warring States Period.
Uchiha Shisui stroked the murals on the walls with a deep look and shouted, “Itachi, come here and take a look at these.”
Uchiha Itachi who was not very far away walked over and carefully studied the murals Shisui pointed at.
The Murals tells the tale of an Uchiha Shinobi.
‘Long ago, there was an Uchiha, he and one other child were born as the children of the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, and a Kunoichi from some other Clan whose name hasn’t been mentioned, perhaps she was a Senju? Uzumaki? Hyuga? Kaguya? Or maybe some other Shinobi Clan? But it didn’t matter because soon after she gave birth to the two children, twins; she died due to severe weakness and exhaustion.
The existence of the two children (One boy and one girl) was kept a secret and the two of them were raised by one of the loyal subordinates of the Patriarch.
The boy, the older of the two was trained to become the next Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, and he was the most exceptional shinobi the Uchiha Clan had ever seen. Whatever was taught to him, he would always grasp it at once and improve it to various degrees, his wisdom was unlike any other anyone had ever seen.
He always fought on the front, and never lost even a single battle. Rumors said that he was born with a special body and whatever injury he received healed soon enough, there was no correct answer as to what was the exact cause but he was deemed to be the strongest of all, the strongest to have ever lived.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen his father died, his eyes changed into a different pattern and he gained more power, he used that power to kill more enemies.
With him on their side, the Uchiha Clan was confident in being able to dominate the Senju Clan, with him on their side, the Uchiha Clan was confident in finally dominating the entire Shinobi World.
But one day, when the Uchiha Clan was returning from the war against the Senju Clan, something happened, what exactly happened was unknown, but it was a disaster for the Uchiha Clan. The invincible Uchiha who was said to be undefeated died of assassination and the person who killed him was none other than his own younger sister.
After killing her brother, the sister also mortally wounded the wife of her older brother and then fled the scene. The wife because of her critical injury died soon after.
The Uchiha Clan searched the Shinobi World to find the whereabouts of the treacherous sister for months and years, they had to punish her for her treachery, but they could never find her, perhaps she had escaped to the edge of this world and died, or maybe she committed suicide out of guilt; the true cause of her disappearance was unknown but she was never seen again.’
“Strange, why would the sister kill her own twin brother for seemingly no reason?” muttered Itachi with a thoughtful look on his face.
Shisui was also confused, and said, “There could be countless reasons, and we wouldn’t know the exact cause; but that aside, look here? Do you see this?”
Itachi followed Shisui’s gaze and looked at two different murals, there two were paintings of two different Susano’o facing each other. What’s noticeable about these two Susano’o is that they seem to carry two different types of weapons.
The first Susano’o carries a Huge Gourd while the other Susano’o carries a huge Shield.
Itachi said with a doubt, “A huge gourd? And a Giant Shield?”
Shisui added, “Moreover the color of both Gourd and Shield is completely different from the color of the two Susano’o which is black and white respectively. Perhaps these Gourd and Shield are not a natural part of the Susano’o.”
Although, these paintings are centuries old, reading and deciphering them is not a problem for Shisui and Itachi.
The color contrast between Black and White Susano’o and the two red weapons is so conspicuous that it is a bit difficult to not notice. And Itachi and Shisui are Uchiha who have experience in using Susano’o, so obviously they can recognize these differences.
Both Shisui and Itachi understand that Susano’o is actually the manifestation of one’s own chakra through Mangekyou Sharingan. The color of one’s chakra can never have many distinct colors; therefore; any weapon of Susano’o should be of the same color as the main Susano’o body.
Itachi said, “The Gourd is most likely Sword of Totsuka.”
Shisui muttered with a frown, “But isn’t Sword of Totsuka supposed to be a Sword and not a Gourd?”
Itachi said after a bit of thinking, “According to what Kuroto-san has told us, the Sword of Totsuka is a Sword of Sealing, it’s quite special and different from other Kusanagi Swords, its appearance may not be as simple as we think.”
Shisui nodded, then said, “If that’s the case, then the shield is most likely Yata Mirror, right?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmItachi nodded, “Quite possibly.”
After reaching a consensus, the two separated and searched the ruins for any more clues that they can find. However, even after searching for a long time, the two never found any more clues related to the Gourd or the Shield in the Mural.
After meeting again, Shisui said, “There was no record of this Gourd or Shield in the Clan archives. If we assume that one of the two artifacts was that of the brother, does that mean it is buried with the body of the brother?”
Itachi also thought of the same possibility.
If this Gourd and Shield are so powerful, there should have been some kind of record about them in the Clan, yet nobody knows about them, no records were left, in fact, there is also no information about the twin siblings.
This can only mean that everything related to the pair of siblings including all the information was either destroyed or lost. This strangeness made both Itachi and Shisui realize that something is wrong here.
Unfolding the map, Itachi drew a few circles on the map based on his memory, then said, “I have checked the Archives within the Clan, these locations are the burial grounds, maybe we can find some information here.”
After Konoha was founded, all the deceased ninja and civilians were buried at the Konoha cemetery, and the clansmen of the Uchiha Clan were no exception, therefore, the Uchiha Clan cemeteries that were used during the Warring States Period have long been abandoned and most of them are left unattended.
With a bit of hesitation, Shisui nodded, “Alright, let’s go take a look.”
Although, disturbing the slumber of the deceased ancestors is a very rude thing, in contrast, protecting the village and the clan is more important. So, if they can find any clue about the legendary Sword of Totsuka in the graves of the deceased ancestors, Shisui would rather disturb the slumber of the ancestors so that they can get their hands on the Sword of Totsuka so as to protect the Village and the Clan.
There was no hesitation in Itachi’s eyes, and he nodded, “Shisui-san, I believe that the ancestors would be willing to forgive us.”
Itachi believes that the ancestors would be willing to forgive the two youngins of their clan as he and Shisui are doing this for the peace of Shinobi World and for the Uchiha Clan.
Shisui nodded and the two left the site to start the grave robbery.
