Ancient Manipulator - Chapter 10

Chapter 10






As I wake from my long dream, I feel a stream of tears running down my face. I swiftly remove it with the edge of my plain white pajama's sleeve before looking around and seeing Vyra sleeping peacefully besides me. I smile and quietly reach the closet, undressing and putting on an outfit that consisted of a black sweater and sweatpants. Then I head downstairs to the common room, careful to not wake up Vyra. I see that Shisui-san and mother is already awake, Shisui-san was making breakfast in the kitchen while mother is on the couch, knitting a crimson scarf, preparing for the approaching cold.

"Good morning," I say smiling as they say it back. It was like Shisui-san knew my daily schedule, as he would always finish cooking after I wake, though I don't really mind. I sit on a chair next to the table saying "itadakimasu" before devouring my portion of the sweet, delicious food that Shisui-san somehow makes even with ingredients that were not so fresh. I vow that if I ever find a cooking skill in the shop, I will immediately buy it. After finishing I rush upstairs to awake the adorable little girl, but when I opened the door all I saw was a incoming projectile charging towards my face and the words, "Onii-chan baka!" Huh, I wonder what's she doing? Welp, anyways she's already awake, so that part is check off. I close the door and head outside.

Waiting for Vyra-chan outside the house, few minutes later, I hear the sounds of quick footsteps coming towards my way, which of course was Vyra-chan. Today, we were going to see a puppet show as we did not have Academy today and for some reason Vyra-chan loves puppet shows, especially ones with romance. Girls are indeed strange. Anyways, Vyra-chan has absolutely no sense of direction all (even though she's a goddess), so we walk while holding hands. Vyra-chan seems to be abnormally happy today, but every kid we walk past that were at our age or at least close to it, were looking at us weirdly, but I don't mind. If Vyra was happy, I would be happy as well. I do hope that she does not marry a creepy guy when she grows up though.

The street was filled with commotion today as it was the first day off for all Academy students. Most genin and jōnin were also on a short break because the Rinne Festival was nearing. The Rinne Festival could be said to be the Christmas of this universe, however instead of there being a 'Santa' character that goes around sneaking into children's homes, it's just a simple holiday where friends and love ones exchange gifts with one another.

We slowly arrive at the theater and I see that some parents and their children are already sitting on the wooden benches provided by the staff, though it is quite strange that everyone is staring at Vyra-chan with a strange glint in their eyes. I release some of my 'killing intent' that I developed in my past years of killing and slaughtering in the battlefield, unfortunately for me though, it has yet to become a skill that I could freely level up. Anyways, back to the present, everybody had felt the malicious aura I was releasing and turned away from the source, trembling, but soon after, everything returns to order, but no one was brave enough to look at us. I stop leaking my 'killing intent' and the show begins shortly after.

The puppet show started off with the introduction of the main heroine, Sakura, a blossoming girl of the tender age of five with hair colored a light shade of purple. She was sold by her dear family to another, for the purpose of a need for talent and a heir.

Disgusting and disgraceful.

The young girl had to face the mass of challenges bestowed upon her, alone.

Death, loneliness, and most importantly, faked love.

A multitude of emotions could be heard during the heartbreaking story. Laughter, excitement, anger, sadness, bouncing on and off of their faces. But, in the end, the only emotion that could be found in the crowd was, happiness. The girl was freed from her fate by a young man named Nikko, his name meaning 'sunshine', and indeed he was her 'sunshine'. She fell in love with the reliable youth and had two children, whom she made sure to never let suffer. Ultimately, she had a happy ending, a good story, well, at least Vyra-chan liked it.

"Onii-chan?"

"H-hey, Onii-chan!"

"ONII-CHAN!!!"

A screaming girl had now captured the attention of the pedestrians around. Quite the peculiar situation, it was. The girl's 'brother' was not listening to her at all, in fact, if one looked at the brother's eyes, they would notice that it looked dead in a way.

The girl was of course the heroine of this story, Vyra Uchiha, and her continuous screaming had attracted a large crowd of people. Some of them had bad intentions such as wanting to abduct the charming young lady and sell her to the black market or perhaps even **** her. However, there were few who were the heroic kind, wanting to find the cause of the scene in front of them and solve it. There was also the butler of the family, Shisui Uchiha. He had been secretly tailing them in case of an event where harm would come to the two, mostly Yasuo.

The brother in question was currently standing while unconscious, similar to [Mind Zero] when a person has lost all of their energy reserves, making that said person feel fatigue and pass out. That person is unconscious, but instead of collapsing, he/she is frozen in place. However, a person in the state of [Mind Zero] is extraordinary rare. Due to how most people would know when their energy reserves are low, many would instead choose to escape rather than going into [Mind Zero] and risking their lives. However, even if it was rare, only some were interested as most were concerned about the sister instead.

Shisui had put on a kitsune mask he had bought from a random street vendor, activated his [Mangekyō Sharingan] lest there was an unexpected attack, and jumped down from the roof he was previously on, into the street. Pushing through the crowd, many were annoyed at the newcomer, however, after seeing his eyes, they backed off, not wanting to mess with an Uchiha, especially one with the revered [Mangekyō Sharingan]. Arriving next to Yasuo, he knelt and placed his hand on the boy's wrist to checking his pulse. Confirming he alright and without injuries, he picked his young master up and carried him piggyback style. Afterwards, he faced Vyra and bowed towards her, saying,

"Vyra-sama, this servant has confirmed Yasuo-sama's health and he is completely fine. Shall we head home?"

"Onii-chan... yes, Shisui-san," said Vyra in a barely audible voice, looking at her beloved brother with moist eyes. Briefly wiping the tears on her face, she said in a clearer voice, "Yes, let's go home, Shisui-san."

"Very well, let us leave, Vyra-sama."

Then, Shisui grabbing onto Vyra's shoulder, disappeared with the siblings to who know's where. The mass of people that had gathered around had a myriad of reactions. Everybody knew that [Mangekyō Sharingan] users were extremely rare and were valuable to the Uchiha Clan. Many people in the crowd were feeling fear, thinking that the Uchiha Clan had become even more powerful than before, having a [Mangekyō Sharingan] user as a mere servant, or at least self-proclaimed, of a pair of siblings, them being important or not.

This news had spread like wildfire, in the matter of minutes, most of the citizens of Konohagakure were aware of the 'servant' and many people had different theories about this strange new [Mangekyō Sharingan] user. Some guessed he was merely nearby the pair while others thought the pair were undoubtedly important members of the 'strongest' clan. The rest of the bunch guessed that the masked man had recently awakened his Mangekyō or was indeed just a servant.

However, to those with who had a collection of reliable information about the Uchiha Clan, had guessed that it was none of those or rather, a combination. Some thought that the brother and sister pair were truly important members of the Uchiha Clan, as they recognized them as the twins, Izuna Uchiha and Miyrae Uchiha birthed, some also knew that most or all of the Uchiha who had awakened their [Mangekyō Sharingan]s were much too arrogant to state that they were a servant to a sibling duo, so it came down to three things: the kitsune, was a secret expert of the Uchiha Clan, a new [Mangekyō Sharingan] user, or an actual servant who was either the former or the latter.

The group was now already at their house, however they had yet to know what transpired after their departure. From the information Shisui provided after they arrived, the twin's parents were currently out to complete a A-Rank mission, however, he did not find what exactly that mission had asked for. It was already late in the evening, thus Shisui had readied dinner and extra in the case of the madam and sir coming back late in the night. During the dinner, it was considerably quiet compared to when the clown Izuna and airhead Yasuo was with them. However, neither Shisui nor Vyra was bothered by the quietness as both were respectively worried about his young master and her big brother.

After the short, yet long dinner came to an end, both still could not contain their nervousness and concern for Yasuo's health, both hoping that he would wake up any moment. Fortunately, Shisui knew his young master was fine or at least not to the point of death, as if he wasn't, he (Shisui) may have stopped existing all together.

Trying to comfort his young mistress, he told her about him being a summoned and his connection to Yasuo, though it seemed like she already knew so, she still couldn't help by worry. It was not until the middle of the night, where they had to force themselves to sleep, had they stopped their constant worrying...

'Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! STOP THESE ANNOYING NOTIFICATIONS! SYSTEM EXPLAIN!'

{Host, because of your race, [Devil] is always releasing a death-like aura, [Will of Death] is able to consume that aura to 'level up'. That is the reason Host currently cannot feel the aura. Host can also turn the aura on and off if desired.}

'TURN IT OFF THEN!'

[The race, [Devil] has been sealed] {Host can seal and unseal the race when desired}

'Okay good... explain the whole Death God thing'

{Yes Host. A Death God is the embodiment of the concept, death. They can create, control, store and destroy 'death'.}

{Thinking of death will change Host's personality greatly}

'Okay, that's pretty simple...'

'Wake me up please.'

{Very well, Host}

...

Slowly awakening, there is a strong light coming from the nearby window and on a chair, Vyra is sleeping with an anxious expression on her face, using her arms as a pillow.

"Onii-chan... don't leave me..."

Grinning, Yasuo gently tickled the little girl. (A/N: pedophilia) Which makes her slowly wake from the sounds of her own laughter and a weird sensation on her stomach. She looks down at her stomach and sees a small hand that seemed too soft.

Now looking up, she sees her soon to be handsome brother grinning mischievously.

*Giggling* "Onii-chan s-stop!"

Doing as her says, he jumps down off the bed, heading towards the living room. As he was already wearing clothes, there was no reason to go to the closet. "Good morning, Vyra!" He said while waving his hand back towards Vyra without actually looking back. After leaving Vyra alone in the bedroom,

"Hump, he just leaves me here even though I was worried sick about him the entire night! Hahhh, that's just like him isn't it..."

Shaking her head, she follows him downstairs...

-Yasuo POV-

Though Vyra had thought he was heading downstairs, he was, in reality, still in on the second floor. He had secretly created a hidden room that no one knew about, perhaps except the all-knowing butler.

'Well, I got out of that somehow. A.M. what were those green lines on Vyra?'

{Host, they are [Lines of Existence], meaning she is still alive. However, Host cannot control the [Lines of Existence] currently. If Host obtains the Race, [Life God], he will be able to do so}

'What about the lines of death?'

{Host can control the [Lines of Extinction]}

'Oh... that's an interesting name...'

'Alright, what about the [True Soul Zanpakutō], how do I use that?'

{The [True Soul Zanpakutō] is your soul in the truest form, in the shape of a sword}

'Equip it please'

[Ding! [True Soul Zanpakutō] has been Equipped!]

Appearing in his palms was a black wakizashi that had a similarly black handle, patterned with star-like designs. In addition, the scabbard of the katana was also black with a white ribbon attached nearby to the handle of the blade, having black flower-like patterns. What's more, was that the scabbard gave off a certain charm that seemingly captures you into its embrace, but the blade has a menacing aura you wanted to doubtlessly escape from.

[Ding! [True Soul Zanpakutō] has been named [Shi no Yoru]!]

"Hahahaha!" Yasuo laughed lightly. "What a name! 'Depends on' (A/N: the charm) and 'the night of death'! (A/N: the aura)"

Name: [Shi no Yoru] - Sword

Sealed Form: [The blade has a length of 66 cm (around 26 inches) and is able to cut through anything without resistance. The scabbard is indestructible, able to fly, and can naturally protect the User without command]

Shikai Form: [Release Command: Save and spoil, Shi no Yoru] [The blade turns into a katana with the length of 89 cm (around 35 inches). The blade is able to cut through anything without resistance and the object/person cut, will disintegrate in 10 seconds no matter of anything. The scabbard is indestructible, able to fly, can automatically protect any target the User selects and the User himself. Also, it is able to heal any injuries, revive someone if not dead for more than 5 minutes, and stop the effects of the blade]

'That, is overpowered as f*ck. Unequip.'

[Ding! [Shi no Yoru] has been unequipped]

'Let's head downstairs then, shall I?'

Going downstairs, he could smell and FEEL a venomous scent spreading through the entire common room, coming from a source in the kitchen. Peaking into the unpleasant gallery, Yasuo found his little sister was cooking! However, his excitement was short-lived, soon after, he could see the abominable creation his sister has made. Forget the smell and the taste of thing, even looking at it he wanted to throw up.

"Umm, Vyra-chan? What are you doing?"

"Onii-chan, I'm making you breakfast!"

"Wait, what do you mean you, where's the us?"

"Shisui-san is making it for the others, but I thought Onii-chan would like to eat my cooking!" After she said that, she set a covered plate that we don't even have in the house, onto the table. When she slowly open it, a strong odor could be detected even without a light sniff, this crime could make any common person fall unconscious and THAT'S JUST THE SCENT!

Taking a big scoop of the rainbow colored mesh, Vyra, similarly to feeding a baby, said, "say ahhhh Onii-chan!"

I didn't want to do it. I probably shouldn't have done it. I regret it. I regret it so much. But who could say no to such a cute little sister?!

"A-ah-ahhh..."

*BAM*

Straight into the bathroom! You could hear the screams of a four year old child from miles away.

"Oh right, Onii-chan, mother and father said we don't have to go to the Academy today either!"

And that starts off another day for the twins...
