Prophet X Future Sight X Neon Nostrade
Beside the "Demon Slayer," "Hokage," and the blurred "Doraemon" door, a card emitting a faint "psychic light" was quietly inserted into the door to the "Dark Continent," which was covered with repetitive patterns.
Roy was incredulous.
It is said that thought is a reflection of the soul.
Since his rebirth, Roy is certain that no one would suspect that, despite seemingly growing up in the Zoldyck, he actually has multiple unknown lives.
Just like Kamado Eiichiro in Demon Slayer, and Uchiha Jin in Konoha, no one would know that in the Sun-Earring Boy's subconscious, there was a "Gate of Cognition" leading to various worlds, let alone directly "invading" his Cognitive World and leaving its mark on his cognition.
That's right. With just one glance, Roy was certain that the card inserted into the [Gate of the Dark Continent] was an "imported item," not something that self-generated from his imagination!
"Whoosh~" Without wind, waves rose, and the calm, boundless sea surged with the Sun-Earring Boy's emotions.
Roy frowned slightly, refraining from making any rash moves, and silently maintained a safe distance from the [Gate of the Dark Continent] at a distance of about a hundred meters.
Even though this is his [Cognitive World], and he is the absolute ruler of this world, something is definitely amiss, especially after seeing that person under that starry sky road, and his grandfather Jager, whom he had imprisoned and humiliated like a pet dog...
Roy immediately became extremely vigilant, instantly activating [Condensation] and combining it with [Eyes of Truth] to carefully examine the card from afar...
"Buzz~" The card, which appeared to be a [Nen Artifact], seemed to sense something, and as it trembled, it emitted a wisp of milky-white Nen Qi.
This Nen Qi, mixed with "unruliness," "rebellion," and even a touch of "neurosis," was like a pot of boiling water that burst open the lid and flew backwards towards Roy the moment it met Roy's gaze!
In his hazy state, Roy seemed to see a kind face, with silver hair, a mullet, and upturned eyes—it was none other than his grandfather, Jager!
"Grandpa!" Roy was slightly startled, and his right hand instinctively reached out and grabbed the card.
As they got closer, the perception of [Nen Qi] became even stronger. That intense sense of familiarity reminded the Sun-Earring Boy of his first time...
The day I was paying respects to Jager, I was swept away by the [Demon Eye] and dragged into the [Game of the Dead]!
In other words, the card he held in his hand was none other than... the "legacy" or "information" left to him by his grandfather, Jager, through the [Demon Eye]!
[Hint: One monster detected. [Monster Compendium] expanded...]
[Monster: Broken [Nen Artifact], an item materialized by an unknown powerful Nen user; by deduction, the owner is suspected to be a Nen user who "Conjuration" their Nen user.]
As expected, it's a [Conjuration] type!
The pop-up notification sound echoed...
Roy's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. He breathed a sigh of relief and, after confirming the card's true identity, felt a sense of relief.
The Sun-Earring Boy squinted, then focused his gaze...
The card, already cracked, depicts a hooded woman with thin lips, a high nose, and eyes obscured by the brim.
Turning it over again and rubbing the pattern on the back, the word "suddenly" caught Roy's eye, causing him to furrow his brows involuntarily!
The words "[Prophet]" were written in large letters above, "Stand in the present, look back to the past, and predict the future!"
Roy's gaze sharpened, recalling how he had seen his grandfather, Jager, fight the towering Sandworm's casually tossed card soldiers and the Two-Headed Troll in [The Game of the Dead Sandworm. He suddenly realized that this must be a [divination card] that Jager had collected earlier!
"Buzz~" It seemed like a telepathic connection, or perhaps the fog had lifted; Grandpa Jager was responding to him across mountains and seas.
The moment the [card]'s function was confirmed, the ethereal [Doraemon] door adjacent to the [Gate of the Dark Continent]...
The door trembled slightly, and then a message appeared on the panel before Roy's eyes.
[Hint: Detect one of someone else's damaged "divination" items. After repair, it can be used as the main material for the realization of "divination" items.]
[The following are the available "divination tools"]
[1: Object Fortune Mirror: After acquiring it, you can divine the fortune of the corresponding item, such as "Water Misfortune," "Metal Misfortune," and "Fat Tiger Misfortune." Note: The fortune of an item divined through the Object Fortune Mirror will also change after wearing it. Repair Difficulty: A+]
[2: Fortune-Telling Box: Easily predicts a person's future fate and displays it on the screen. Repair Difficulty: A-]
[3: Fortune-Telling Card Box: Shows three cards to hint at future trends. Repair Difficulty: B]
[4: Palm Lines That Always Come True: Also known as "the Infallible Palmistry Chart", auspicious or inauspicious signs are drawn on the palm using special ink, and the corresponding fortune will come true in reality. Drawing the wrong one may also bring danger. Repair difficulty: A+]
5: Prophet Mirror: When worn, it allows you to foresee the opponent's next move and anticipate their actions. Repair Difficulty: B]
[6: Prediction Eyeball: When worn on the eyes, it allows you to preview events that will happen to you at a future point in time for a short period of time. Repair Difficulty: A-]
[7: Precognition Antenna: Worn on the head, it allows you to prepare for possible future events, but it cannot predict the specifics or provide a visual representation of what might happen in the future. Repair Difficulty: B-1 [Hint: Considering the host's current limited strength, repairing the broken [divination tool] is too difficult; it is recommended to choose B.]
Items below level...
"So, all I have left are the [Fortune-Telling Card Box] and the [Precognition Antenna]?"
The cue sounds originating from cognition have dissipated.
Roy fiddled with the [Prophet] card in his hand, his consciousness drifting, sensing the two [items] in the small pocket on his chest.
The props are eager to be used.
The Sun-Earring Boy suppressed his immediate urge to explore, and instead fell into deep thought.
It's obvious that the [Prophet] card is a prop belonging to Grandpa Jager. So here's the question: if he can Prophet, Roy doesn't believe he wouldn't constantly adjust his destiny through divination.
He kept his luck on an upward trend, but seeing is believing. Even after obtaining such a powerful Nen Ability tool, why was he ultimately treated like a dog and transformed into a monster that was neither human nor dog?!
"Or is it that, faced with the overwhelming tide of events, even Prophet cannot escape the shackles of fate?!"
Roy felt a deep sadness for no apparent reason...
He gently rubbed the card in his right hand, his eyes slightly lowered, as if he saw a silver-haired man being torn apart by fate, desperately cutting off those tentacles, but still being dragged into the quagmire in despair.
He murmured, "Perhaps the despairing, numb expression on Grandpa's face back then wasn't because of how much suffering he had endured, but rather his resentment at knowing he couldn't change his fate."
The Sea of Cognition beneath my feet, which had just regained its tranquility, was suddenly stirred up again by a wave.
"When..
"... At 10:38 PM, the night grew even deeper..."
I don't know how much time passed; maybe an hour, a day, a month, or even a year or ten years...
As the waves subsided, they crashed against the rocks, shattering into tiny droplets. Roy took a deep breath, regaining his composure. He clenched his fist, gripping the [Prophet] card tightly in his hand, his gaze gradually hardening.
Now is not the time for him to overthink things; he should focus on taking each step carefully first.
"Pfft~" [Sumeru Mustard Seed] opens!
Roy reached out and grabbed the spatial rift, carefully placing the [Prophet] card inside and putting it away. Then, regaining his senses, he communicated with the [Four-Dimensional Pocket] attached to his chest, studying the "repair" method. At the same time, he stepped on the calm sea, leaving a trail of water in his wake. In a flash, he pulled open the [Gate of Hokage] with the "Eye" sign hanging on it and stepped inside.
"Damn it, Uchiha Jin, what did you do to me?!"
Heaven and earth are turned upside down; with one step, the world changes!
After a brief sensation of falling, before Roy even opened his eyes, he felt the feedback from the [Flesh Bud] inside his body and the angry roar of a certain sly fox!
[Reminder: "Life Energy" +1 +1 +1 +1 +1...]
In the early morning, dew mingled with the babbling stream, cascading down the water bucket.
In Konoha, at the Uchiha Clan's residence, a Sun-Earring Boy with long, black hair and wearing a loose pajama set opened his eyes groggily, pretending not to hear anything. He lazily turned over, propped his cheek with one hand, and looked into the courtyard. A small figure was practicing swordsmanship meticulously, which infuriated a certain fox to the point of rage!
"How can this be repaired!"
"Uchiha Jin, I know you can hear me!"
"Quickly remove that monstrous thing you planted inside me!"
"Otherwise, I'll kill you even if it costs me my life!"
"Really?" [Flesh Bud link], Roy never thought he could keep it from Nine-Tails forever.
Losing thirty-five points of Life Energy every day, which translates to forty points of Chakra, would eventually make even the most foolish person realize the problem.
What surprised Roy was that Nine-Tails's senses were quite sharp. It was able to communicate with him in reverse through Chakra transmission using the [Flesh Bud]. It should be said that as the leader of the Tailed Beast and half a darling of the land beneath its feet, Kurama was not a simple person to be trifled with.
Roy yawned, seemingly finally reacting. He nonchalantly admired Itachi's swordsmanship, chuckling, "You're welcome to try."
I wouldn't mind beating you up again.
Nine-Tails:
Seemingly finally remembering something, it bared its sharp fangs in anger and took a fierce bite into the sealed cage.
Seeing this, Roy suppressed his amusement and immediately lost the desire to tease him. He stood up, stretched, and said, "Don't worry, I'll take it back when it's time. I won't let you suck it dry."
With a "beep," Roy ended the telepathic communication.
At the opportune moment, Itachi unleashed a slash, the blade swirling and creating a blazing storm of flames that instantly scorched away the fallen leaves in the courtyard.
His control over the "flame," as well as his mastery of the knife in his hand and the energy in his chest, had clearly improved significantly compared to before.
"Good,"
Roy clapped his hands and praised, "Swordsmanship emphasizes intent over technique. Congratulations, Itachi, you've mastered the [Flame Breathing]."
Itachi let out a heavy sigh as his chest heaved, then sheathed his sword, turned around, his small face tense, looking rather dissatisfied.
"Compared to Nii-san, I'm still far behind."
That day, he and Shisui failed to defeat the White Zetsu, and in the end, they relied on Roy's guidance, which obviously caused the little boy a lot of trouble.
There was definitely some frustration, and some dejection... but judging from today's situation, and considering that in the original story, four-year-old Itachi had already started following Uchiha Fugaku to the battlefield and wreaking havoc, Roy felt that the child was still too "humble."
At least at the age of four, although he had already begun to undergo the Zoldyck's grueling training, in terms of strength, with his Aura Nodes not yet developed and unable to recite, he was probably inferior to his opponent in terms of physical skills alone.
Ordinary people in the Hunter world are not human, and ordinary people in the Hokage world cannot be truly regarded as ordinary people either, let alone a super genius like Itachi, who can be ranked among the top in the Uchiha Clan going back eighteen generations!
Roy smiled, took a step forward, and disappeared into the light. When he reappeared, his hand was gently placed on the little Sun-Earring Boy's head. "Don't be discouraged. Trust me, Nii-san. If I say you can do it, you can do it."
Itachi lowered his head, his small face perhaps from the cold, his eyelids slightly downcast, and softly hummed in agreement.
The person followed, like a toy pendant, trailing Roy's retreating figure into the living room.
"Jin, Itachi, time to eat."
The wooden sliding door opened with a shout from Uchiha Mikoto.
A steaming hot breakfast, accompanied by a bowl of miso soup, is already laid out on the table.
At 8:00 AM, Uchiha Fugaku had finished his meal and gone to work.
Roy quickly washed up, and as usual, sat cross-legged, eating breakfast while simultaneously diverting half his attention to his [Four-Dimensional Pocket] to search...
Before long, the [Fortune-Telling Card Box] and the [Precognition Antenna] were found!
One is a small, book-shaped green box, and the other is simply a "T"-shaped antenna with a cross on each end.
Upon touching them, Roy immediately noticed the difference between the [Fortune-Telling Card Box] and the [Precognition Antenna] and the [Prophet] card left by his grandfather!
The broken [Prophet] card has too weak a [mysterious] aura!
Or rather, it has lost its "future vision"!
Even with the aid of Nen Qi, it's difficult to use it further, so there's only one way to "repair" it.
Supplementing "future vision" means finding Nen user with similar "divination" abilities and supplementing their "Nen Qi"!
Having realized this, a name involuntarily surfaced in Roy's mind Neon Nothra!
