Chapter 224: Getting DNA

Shikamaru kept Sasuke tense for almost half a minute. But then finally he nodded slowly.

`` Since you're so determined ... '' The Uchiha was already smiling confidently, when suddenly Shikamaru said, `` But ...

The guy tensed and listened:

- ... there are a couple of conditions. First: you do everything that I tell you, otherwise you can leave. Secondly, until you can open the three tomoe of your eyes, I will not teach you anything serious. For this you can turn to Kakashi, he has the element of lightning, he will suit you.

Hearing all this, Sasuke quickly nodded, realizing that these conditions were worthless. He could complete them without any problem. When he was about to smile, Shikamaru said sharply.

“Now help me dig my grave.

`` W-what ... a grave? Sasuke looked around in surprise. "Here?"

- Well, where do you think they dig graves, if not in the cemetery? Move. ”With a wave of his hand, Shikamaru activated his eyes and quickly found the right place. Sasuke quickly followed beside him.

as soon as the two stopped at the tombstone, the Uchiha whispered in surprise:

- Mito Uzumaki ... Uzumaki?

- Do not be surprised, dear student. Since you are now my number two follower, I will bring you up to date. First of all, Danz is killed, and the Hokage is not my enemy, in other words, I can dig any graves in this place. The problem is that not all of the bodies are in place. Mito, exception ... '' After drilling through the ground with his Byakugan, Shikamaru smiled.

- She's right here. With a quick glance at the gravestone next to Hashirama Senju's name, Shikamaru just chuckled.

- But the body of the First was taken away, as well as the Fourth. - Turning his gaze to the far corner of the cemetery, Shikamaru nodded glumly, discerning the remains of Kushina there, but as expected, he did not find the Fourth. Probably Orochimaru did his best. But, most likely in vain, since Minato's soul is in the Shinigami's stomach.

The cemetery is guarded by three Anbu, but of course they are not a problem for Sanin. Although, on his part it is very strange why he did not decide to take the bodies of Uzumaki as well.

"Your eyes," Sasuke finally remarked, cheating.

The veins quickly disappeared from Shikamaru's face and he nodded.

- Byakugan. Do not be surprised, your teacher is very good, both in dealing with the living and the dead, - after his words, the guy folded a row of seals, and the ground under his feet immediately began to wriggle. Without thinking twice, Shikamaru gave Sasuke a displeased look.

- Why are you standing there, stick your hand - meet the first jinchūriki!

- W-what ... Me?

- Your first job as a student. Show some respect, after all, this kunoichi helped me once.

- Did you help? Well, okay. ”With a slight sigh, Sasuke rolled up his sleeves and thrust his hand into the soft, mud-like soil. Breaking through the coffin, he grimaced and with a trembling voice said:

- II ... I feel her ... W-what now?

- Ha! My dear disciple, do not be afraid of the dead - be afraid of the living! Noticing Sasuke's annoyed look, Shikamaru finally nodded.

- Just tear off something for her and drag her here, I'm sure she won't be offended, especially when I return her beautiful and young body.

Previously, Shikamaru could have taken the entire corpse, but now, with the receipt of blood and the ability to divide his cells, he was more than confident in creating a new body based on alien DNA.

Sasuke quickly fumbled with his hand and when he fumbled for something, he jerked sharply. At the same moment, a skull emerged from the mud, wrinkled and rather eerie. He even had gray hair, as well as wrinkles - he seemed alive!

Sasuke grimaced uncertainly and quickly handed the skull to Shikamaru, who happily twisted it in his hand and sighed.

- I wish I hadn't seen this! Now I will remember this picture all my life!

From Shikamaru's angry glare, Sasuke finally broke down.

- What the hell? You are my teacher, what are you doing ?!

- Oh you! The Uchiha showed his fangs! You better shut up and go swarm the next grave!

- Shopping mall! - Snorting, Sasuke quickly walked in the other direction, then Shikamaru led him to Kushina's grave. Fortunately, this time he was able to pull out only a piece of his finger. Shikamaru was uncomfortable with this, but he could still take it. After removing everything, the teacher and student quickly left the cemetery.

- And where are we now? Sasuke asked as if nothing had happened. His mood seems to have even improved.

“Oh, this rebellious spirit! He is only happy to do ugliness, it would be necessary to punish him so that it was discouraging. Dig the graves of the elders, shameless student! " Chuckling, Shikamaru nodded to the side.

- Let's go to your clan.

- Why?

- Give the teacher some tea!

- Ah, - Sasuke nodded with understanding. - Then let's go.

Shikamaru looked at this "student" with a smile. He was acting quite funny, just not like with Naruto. Before him, he was somehow calm and not proud. It's a funny sight, but not so bad. Sasuke could lose his temper, as experience showed. Well, and tea ... Why not drop by on a visit to the Uchiha, who keeps the famous Tablet.

Along the way, Sasuke decided to strike up a conversation about Danz and Hiruzen, whom Shikamaru had previously mentioned. Then he had to enlighten the student a little. There is no need for him to doubt the true strength of the teacher. In any case, the Uchiha is more useful to know all the advantages of their choice. In addition, his pretty face full of disbelief looked very funny.

A lonely and gloomy quarter ... Entering Sasuke's house, Shikamaru immediately looked around. The guy turned on the light, took off his shoes and walked further into the kitchen. All this time, Shikamaru did not leave some kind of oppressive feeling, even Sasuke was somehow sad. Why did this happen? Well, perhaps everything could be attributed to the atmosphere of the past soaring in the air. Cobwebs, dust, cracked walls, this place clearly needed cleaning. But, Sasuke seemed to be trying to stay away from it, he came to the kitchen and put the kettle on. The kitchen looked a little different, here Sasuke clearly cleaned, at least in some places. He seemed to be trying not to lose his memories, or perhaps he didn’t want to touch them. Shikamaru remembered that Sasuke was a pretty neat and neat guy, but this probably only concerned his room and the things he used.

Shikamaru was starting to feel a little tense. He certainly would not have lived in such a place. Therefore, he turned off the kettle and waved his hand:

- Let's go.

- Where?

Without a word, he went outside and calmly walked to the Temple of Naka. Sasuke kept up. As the two got closer to the majestic arch with the Uchiha symbol, Shikamaru sighed and turned.

“Listen, Sasuke, did you plan to move out?

- Move out? - the guy thoughtfully lowered his head: - This is my house ...

- This is not a house - this is a graveyard ... - Peering into the sad eyes of the guy, Shikamaru shook his head.

- Never mind. I have a place where I live now. It is temporary, but there is a pleasant company there. You can live there and train with someone. I agree?

“Well,” Sasuke looked around and replied with a wry smile, “I don’t have much choice.
