8: Unexpected Memories

Number One finally opened his eyes as he gasped, hungrily swallowing some air to fill his lungs. Number One didn't know what had happened to him after he black out but he was sure that something had changed in his body.

Checking his body for injuries, he was comepletely fine, excluded that his hair

was way more longer than the previous hairstyle he has.

TING!

Number One reflexively stood up and put on a defensive stance after hearing a familiar ding.

"Hello Shota, no need to be alert. I won't harm you, or more like I can't."

Suddenly, a blue holographic chat box appeared in front of me.

How was this possible? Last time I knew, only holograms like this exist on my previous life called novels.

"Who are you?" Shota asked while narrowing his eyes.

"I am called Siri. I was made by Uchiha Ashina, whose Uchiha Akihito's son. My existence purpose is to only assist Uchiha Ashina's descendents."

"Assist them from what?"

"Shota, just communicate with me using your mind. If you wishes to send the message then I shall recieve it."

The robotic voice whose name Siri said.

Even though Shota was still cautious of this mysterious thing, he decided to trust it after hearing the name Ashina, after all he did knew that name from the tombstone in the secret bunker from his library.

Shota did what Siri had told him, he projected his mind like it was a computer and sending it.

"Assist them from what? Get to the point, I don't want to hear any of those congratulations shit!"

Shota's message came out successfully.

"My, my quite a fiesty are you. Anyways, assist his descendants to complete the truth of mystery."

TING!

There was an another holographic screen besides the chat box.

[CONGRATULATIONS, FOR DISCOVERING THE FIRST TRUTH OF MYSTERY!]

「HOW MANY TRUTH YOU HAVE COMPLETED:

■■□□□□□□□□□□ 1%/6%」

[DO YOU WISH TO RECEIVE THE 1ST TRUTH OF MEMORY]

YES_/_NO

I didn't know what to pick but I gambled my life over the yes option, not even a single thought of what consequences might happen if I would have choosen a wrong option.

Scenes flash through my eyes.

Who is this girl? This never happened in my life.

I widen my eyes as I realized that this wasn't my memories.

"Ding! Ding! Correct!"

Siri happily exclaimed.

This was somebody else memories!

Moments has passed as Shota layed on the ground while gathering his thoughts, he couldn't believe it.

He couldn't believe that the memory that he was actually seeing was his own mother's memories!

All of her experience, happiness, sadness, rage, all of her emotions, and skills were transfered to his mind. But some memories were censored as if it was preventing him from finding something out.

A tear left my eye after finally understanding what was happening.

All of Akihito's descendents were curse, shall you love someone shall they also forget about you, even after death everyone who you interact with, shall forget about you.

This curse was the reason that Asashi-san and Kazuma-san forgot about me.

Why!

"Hey! Siri or whatever you are! Why is Akihito's descendents were cursed?!"

"I don't know."

"Bullshit! Didn't you just said that you were created to assist Ashina's descendants!"

"Yes, you are correct kid. But my knowledge isn't unlimited, you brat!"

Shota calmed down gathering his thoughts about what to do next.

"Then how can we increase your knowledge even more?"

This was his question, if Siri's exist in his life because he obtained the First Truth of Mystery, then there must be a way to increase his knowledge even more so.

"You are quite smart. Well according to my memory data, in order to increase my knowledge even more to assist you, you must obtain the memory of your previous ancestors. . ."

Shota finally understand what he was saying.

"And in order to do that I have to solve all of the riddles and obtain an another memory and your knowledge increase. Am I right?"

Shota typed his thoughts out loud to which Siri send a thumbs up.

"Correct. Wait a second. . . I'm gonna send you the second mystery first riddle."

DING!!

「SECOND MYSTERY: FIRST RIDDLE」

[IT IS THE START OF THE PATH OF DARKNESS,———]

The hologram closed itself.

"Hey, I wasn't finish reading it!"

"Shota you've been in here for about 2 months and 2 weeks, your clone could no longer hold out."

Clone?

It took a full minute for Shota to realize what it was talking about.

. . . Shit the clone I left.

Shota run out of the Hokage Monument in panicked, after just reaching the Uchiha District a memory was suddenly transferred onto him.

Fucking clone. He was glad that it was still midnight if not then people might start to wonder if I'm a madman for cursing out for no reason.

The reason why I am cursing was because of the clone who keep cursing me about how. . . Aughh! Shitty clone!!

***

I entered my home checking Number Two and Number Three if they were sleeping, to which they were.

It was still midnight, I don't know why but I don't feel sleepy at all, maybe its because I fell asleep for 2 months and 2 weeks.

I quietly summoned 5 Clones in order to work my shurikenjutsu, it turns out after obtaining my mother's memory which include her personal life, skills and some were blur, my mother was actually a powerful Medic shinobi that maybe even the Legendary Sucker could not even be compare to her, it was a pity that she died with no one remembering her excluded Fugaku-sama and I.

I took out a band that Number Two often uses whenever he felt he needed to use it and tied my messy hair into

Pony tail not leaving any hair from my face.

I took out my black coffee and the milk that Number Three keeps drinking and mixed them in the glass.

Now I may have obtained the memory of my mother but that doesn't mean that her body didn't emerged with me.

After I mixed the two liquid together I need to separate them again.

I should be able to finish the next two steps in the morning since my chakra control is good. . . But not good enough.

I summoned 10 Clones to and ordered the five of the to practice ninjutsu and to increase my Chakra control even more a day the others to practice the last step of Shadow Style.

***

"You guys are finally awake." I said with a distinctive smile.

"Eat you food."

I said while taking a sip on my coffee, I noticed Number Three staring at me as if he didn't know me.

"What's the matter Number Three?"

"Oh, what happened to your hair?"

"Don't worry such useless stuff just focus eating your breakfast because today were going to graduate the academy."

Number Two grunt annoyingly to which I shot him a glare.

"After we graduate, I'm 100 percent sure that Obito will definitely make a fuss."

Right, Obito still hasn't graduated the academy if I remember he should graduate in the next year.

Sigh. . .

Obito, huh.

I drank my coffee as I glanced outside of the window.

'Should I do it or not. . . ?'

DING!

"I'm hurt you know, how come you never called for me in the past hours."

I swear that Siri is f. . .

Calm down. . . Don't want to ruin the lovely morning.

"I shall call you when I shall need you."

"Come on! Can't you atleast talk to me!"

Even though we were communicating using the text in front of me, I could tell that it was whining.

"Just admit it that you're lonely."

Siri didn't reply for a few moments.

"You're so rude to me, and yet you treat your younger brothers nicely."

I rolled my eyes, thankfully my long hair covered my face and those two didn't saw a single thing.

I didn't bother saying anything to Siri as I have no reason to keep up this conversation.

***

I told Number Two to go and tell the instructor that the three of us wanted to graduate early.

I didn't bother doing his job since talking to those guys isn't even worth of my time.

Number Two came back and told us to come back tomorrow.

Today the Hokage personally visit the academy and started babbling about how it has been 3 years ever since someone requested an early graduated and started babbling about those geniuses.

The first test was the written test which was pretty easy for the three of us. We passed the test together in just 10 minutes and started heading towards the academy training ground where we'll perform an C-Rank Jutsu. Number Three performed the Shadow Shuriken Jutsu, Number Two performed the

Fire Style: Great FireBall Jutsu, while I performed the Shadow Clone Jutsu that earned a great shock to the instructors.

We passed the exam and the academy principal gave each of us the leaf protector with black clothe, and told us to go at the Hokage Office tomorrow.

After we head out, it was just as Number Two had expected, Obito began mumbling to himself about how he will defeat us, but I couldn't care less about what he would thought of.

After we had arrived at the Hokage's Office, The Hokage started his monologue.

"Uchiha Number One, Uchiha Number Two, Uchiha Number Three, congratulations for being promoted to Genin. You are now a

Shinobi. . ."

His grumpy voice and tedious words seemed to trailed off in my ears, but I still forced myself listened. After the Hokage finished his monologue, he told us the direction to where we would take our shinobi certificate.

"Okay now smile. . ."

The photographer was about to take my picture but not before I interrupted him.

"Please wait for a moment."

The photographer did as he was told and I tied my hair at the top with the hair on the sides moving freely.

I smiled at the photographer that he could take the picture now.

"Uchiha Yami, congratulations for being promoted to Genin. You are now a

Shinobi. . ."

My Shinobi registration number is 011783.

Tomorrow we would meet our team leader at Training Ground 3.

"Now, now why don't you guys take a day off from your training and just relax."

Number Two and Three nodded, in their ears it wasn't a suggestion but rather an order.

***

Medical ninjutsu, in the anime when Tsunade trained Sakura she made her read plenty of books, but since my mother's copied memory is transferred onto me, I do not need to read those books.

If mother was still alive then I'm sure that she very much surpassed Senju Hashirama's medical skills.

I took out a kunai and aimed it at the bird next to me, it wasn't a severe injury just a slight scar.

"I suggest shutting your mouth so that I could heal you." I muttered above the loud cries it emitted. It did little little to calm the creature, but I held it firmly if gingerly to stop it from aggravating its wound.

Number One tried to straighten the bird's wing, only to have it flap about with even higher-pitched cries, and one thought ran through his head.

'This creature is so loud!'

I concentrated on that well of energy inside of me and let it flow down to my fingertips with the intent to heal the living creature.

I let out a satisfying smirk. It work.

I held the creature in my palm and let it fly away but not before that creature pecked my finger hard leaving it bleeding, I didn't bother throwing another kunai at its direction since it wasn't worth of my time.

Instead I used the Mystical Palm Technique to accelerate the recovery of my finger. In just 2 whole minute the wound healed.

Number One summoned 10 Clones to finally complete the last step of the Shadow Style kinjutsu. It was shown in his mother's memories that she had also mastered the Shadow Style in 7 whole years, together with her memory he was able to find a short cut to accelerate the process.

A/N: as for Number One's mother's memories. . . . Let's talk about it in another time.
