Chapter 183: Mutation Time

Looking at such a calm and at the same time sad beast that people have called a demon for centuries, Shikamaru felt a pang of guilt for a moment. Nevertheless, he treated it as an instrument, and therefore sealed it. Moreover, this is only the first of the Bijuu. He was going to find the others. Although, now, he was able to find a positive side in this. At least they will all be together, because they are to some extent a family.

Shikamaru sighed guiltily.

“I'm sorry Isobu, I shouldn't have blown you up so abruptly.

Bijuu opened his mouth in surprise, only one person apologized to him in this world, but very quickly he turned into a cruel and ruthless ... Now this strange type too.

Isobu turned away and muttered.

- Boku doesn't want to talk anymore, go away ...

Shikamaru nodded and disappeared instantly. Then the beast turned to the place of its disappearance and thoughtfully bowed its head. He knew well how people can be cruel, so he probably wasn't that angry when he was sealed again. Although, it seems this time everything has changed. It was lonely here, but not so cold and dark ...

Suddenly, Isobu opened his eyes in surprise and looked up at the sky. He felt a connection with the person who imprisoned him, and then he was able to see the world through his eyes.

“I won't restrict you anymore, I hope you won't run wild either,” Shikamaru said calmly and left the hut. Isobu was involuntarily surprised by this, but still decided to see what would happen next.

At this time, Shikamaru went further into the forest and chose a lonely clearing. There he sat down again and closed his eyes, finally calling out his status:

"Good ..." With a frown, Shikamaru was pleased with some of the changes, but he still wanted to tweak a few things. To begin with, he decided to pick up the rewards for the tasks completed not so long ago:

"Sage"

Master Senjutsu

10,000 points of fate, chakra storage expansion pill.

Special award (10 years): 5,000, Akimichi pedigree.

"Grand Master Fuinjutsu"

Create S grade Fuinjutsu

Reward: 10,000, Dragon Veins.

Special Award (10 Years): 5,000, Kushina Uzumaki's Technician Scroll.

In addition, Shikamaru received another reward for the task of obtaining the Uzumaki Legacy, so he had fifteen thousand more points. In addition, he now knew the method of transforming the body into a real Puppet, just like Sasori's. True, he simply removed this knowledge to the margins of consciousness, since he was not going to do something like that, at least with himself.

There were a lot of awards, very much ... The problem really arose in the fact that Shikamaru could not take some of the awards. For example, Special Awards were given for Shikamaru completing assignments for ten years. But, I could not pick them up due to the fact that the pedigrees were included in the kit. For example, he could not get Akimichi's pedigree at all, since he did not find it useful. The genome of Magnetism and Dragon Veins could still be worth something, but everything else is not. Therefore, some of the awards were reduced, as with the Yamanaka Bloodline, Shikamaru postponed all this until better days. Although, even without this number of points, his fate was already impressive. He could afford almost anything.

So, in general, he did, buying two gene expansion pills at once. After all, he could take them only three, together with already one, which he accepted, these two will be the last. Having finished with this part, he could slowly walk towards the improved pills.

“It looks like I won't be able to awaken Mangekyё on my own, but ... It is highly doubtful that there is anyone who can make me suffer that much. In this world, I have almost no dear people. Although, I would not say so, to some extent I had my childhood until I completely regained control of myself. Therefore, mother and father, it may well be ... But who will harm them? Nobody, I just won't let it. ”With a thoughtful nod, Shikamaru called for an exchange and immediately bought a special pill for another emotional outburst. The price of fifteen thousand glasses was annoying, but there was nothing to be done about it. Shikamaru wanted to strengthen his Dojutsu and the path of the Sage, so he bought a pill, and then pulled out two old ones:

- Pill of mutation х2

This time, Shikamaru wanted to mutate and, in addition, acquire the ninth bloodline. He wanted to carry out mutations no longer with some secondary pedigrees, but with the main ones. Only for this, he still wanted to awaken Mangeky and one special genome, and only then try to get something. In total, he could carry out three mutations, so you need to choose wisely.

Shikamaru made a choice long ago:

[Jugo's Genome → Passive Natural Energy Absorption]

Ten thousand fate points disappeared after the previous fifteen, and then Shikamaru focused and prepared for the difficult boost. Yet, as he remembered, Jugo's genome was not so simple and could cause problems and various changes in the body. So the process of gaining their power could be frustrating.

As expected, Shikamaru was not in a particularly good mood for the next hour. He was accustomed to sweating profusely with these intensifications, but this time he outclassed all the others. The body of the representatives of Jugo was clearly different from that of a simple human, even their sweat was different. At the end of it all, Shikamaru even began to understand why everyone in the Jūgo clan could not always cope with their bestial nature. Instincts, frankly speaking, were exacerbated and nervousness as well. Probably, with the accumulation of natural energy, all this can cause a very explosive mixture.

Fortunately, Shikamaru was able to both accumulate natural energy and keep it under control in his body. Senju's pedigree helped in this quite worthily. Although, even he was amazed how easy in the end he managed to feel the natural energy around him and how easily it could enter his body. It didn't even need any concentration, and thanks to Jugo's abilities, the natural energy seemed to become more pliable and did not affect the bodies as aggressively as when it was simply absorbed by the Sage's methods. Only, perhaps, this can be attributed to unique changes in the body. Shikamaru already had a very strong body and chakra, and now it has changed even more, becoming even better than before. Now even large amounts of natural energy probably won't be able to shake his mind. Perhaps just a little.
