The nysterious book…

Itachi wasted no time, his senses heightened as he activated his Sharingan and Byakugan!

The single tomoe in his eyes spun like a vortex, granting him unparalleled vision. As his realms advanced, his sharingan would naturally improve aswell.

He scanned his surroundings with unwavering focus, but even with his kekkei genkai activated, he found himself staring into an abyss of impenetrable darkness. It was as if the void itself had swallowed him whole, concealing any trace of what lay beyond.

Frustration gnawed at Itachi's resolve. If this was an illusion, he understood why his Sharingan failed to pierce its veil. His current level was insufficient to unravel such deceptive techniques. But if this was truly an infinite void, then he feared he would be trapped here for eternity.

Time seemed to stretch on endlessly, each passing minute feeling like an eternity. Itachi reluctantly deactivated his eyes, conserving his energy for what lay ahead. As despair threatened to consume him, a strange calm washed over him. He settled into a meditative position, closing his eyes to shut out the darkness.

There was no point in fighting against the void. It was best to find solace within himself and regain his composure.

As Itachi delved deeper into his meditation, it felt as though centuries passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, a distinct sound shattered the silence of the abyss.

"Clap, clap, clap."

The crisp sound of applause echoed through the darkness, jolting Itachi from his meditative state. He opened his eyes, scanning the void for any sign of its source. Then, without warning, a figure materialized before him.

A man draped in flowing white robes stood tall, his presence commanding and enigmatic. He loomed over Itachi like a mountain, radiating an aura of mystery.

Itachi quickly rose to his feet, his fist clenched in a respectful salute.

"Senior, I mean no harm. I am Lin Feng, a newly appointed disciple of the esteemed Nether Sect. I have been tasked with the responsibility of tending to the sacred pavilion."

The man regarded Itachi with a knowing smile, his eyes filled with intrigue.

"Very interesting indeed. To think a new recruit would not succumb to panic, but instead find solace in meditation. Your temperament surpasses your years, young Lin Feng."

Itachi's heart skipped a beat. The man's words held a deeper meaning, as if he knew something that Itachi himself was yet to discover. Curiosity mingled with caution as he awaited the man's next move.

Master Tie, as he introduced himself, extended a hand towards Itachi. "Come, young Lin Feng. Allow me to show you the true nature of this place."

Itachi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grasped Master Tie's hand. Instantly, a surge of energy coursed through his body, and the darkness around them began to shift and change.

As Master Tie unfolded the formation he couldnt help but say " Lin Feng this is an illusion array formation, this is the first defense out of 5 for the pavilion. "

Itachi was left astonished, this array formation was very interesting. Even the world he was previously in did not have array formations! Itachis intrigue towards this grew stronger, he wondered if the system sold any formations, it would be great to set up a vast array of defences around his dorm room.

Master Tie led Itachi through the intricate array, their footsteps echoing in the void. As they walked, the darkness began to recede, replaced by a soft glow that illuminated their path.

Itachi's senses heightened, his anticipation growing with each step. They arrived at massive stone door, adorned with ancient symbols and inscriptions. Master Tie placed his hand on the door, and it creaked open.

Itachi looked around at the new scene before him and found himself standing in a vast library, filled with rows upon rows of books. The sheer magnitude of the collection was overwhelming.

Even the renowned library in Konoha paled in comparison to this grandeur. Itachi, being a true nerd for knowledge, felt like he had stumbled upon heaven itself.

His eyes sparkled with excitement as he walked over to one of the shelves and carefully picked up a book. The title on the cover read, "9 Arts Hegemony Fist - Earth Grade." Itachi could feel the weight of the book in his hands. He gently rubbed off the dust that had settled on the cover and eagerly began reading the first Art of the 9 Hegemony Fist.

However, before he could fully immerse himself in the teachings of the martial art, he heard a cough behind him. Itachi turned around to see Master Tie standing there, his presence commanding respect.

"Cough, Lin Feng," Master Tie spoke with authority. "I'm afraid you're not here to read books. These manuals are reserved only for disciples who can cultivate. I heard you don't have a spiritual route."

Feeling a pang of disappointment, Itachi quickly put the book back in its rightful place and bowed respectfully to the elder. "I apologize, senior. I will be more careful from now on."

Senior Tie nodded in satisfaction, his long beard swaying with the motion. He had taken a liking to this young man, impressed by his temperament and manners. If only Itachi possessed a spiritual route, Master Tie would have gladly taken him as a disciple.

"For starters, your work here is to organize and catalogue the cultivation manuals," Master Tie explained. "You will be responsible for ensuring their proper storage and maintenance. Any new manuals that come in will be directly handed to you, and it will be your duty to take care of their adequate storage."

Itachi nodded, understanding the importance of his new role. He was determined to fulfill his responsibilities diligently.

"Also, take this medallion," Senior Tie said, handing Itachi a cold silver medallion. "This will ensure your safety when entering and leaving the pavilion. With this, you will be able to bypass the array formations."

Itachi took the medallion and felt a chill run down his spine. He studied the intricate inscriptions on the medallion and nodded in gratitude.

Cupping his fists, Itachi thanked Master Tie. "Thank you, senior, for entrusting me with this task."

"Alright, good. I will now guide you on how to carry out your duties," Senior Tie said, leading Itachi through the pavilion. He explained the intricacies of cataloging the manuals and ensuring their preservation.

"Furthermore, this pavilion has three floors," Senior Tie continued. "Each floor corresponds to the level of the manuals. Your responsibility lies within the first floor. You must not venture to the second or third floors without the appropriate medallions. The array formations there are lethal."

Itachi nodded solemnly, fully aware of the consequences of disregarding the rules.

"Understood, senior Tie," Itachi replied with determination.

"Good, good. Now, I have some matters to attend to. As the current guardian of this pavilion, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to call my name, and I will come," Master Tie assured him.

Itachi smiled gratefully at Senior Tie and walked off to explore the vastness of the pavilion's first floor. The rows upon rows of bookshelves seemed endless, reaching up to a towering ceiling that felt like it stretched for miles.

"It would take me a full day just to catalog the first shelf," Itachi marveled to himself as he walked along the corridors, familiarizing himself with the layout of the pavilion.

As he strolled through the labyrinth of knowledge, his eyes scanned the shelves with curiosity. Suddenly, an intriguing book caught his attention. Itachi reached out and carefully pulled it from the shelf, his fingers brushing off the heavy layer of dust that obscured the front cover.

"The Heavenly Secrets - Authored by Ji Tiandao," Itachi read aloud, his heart skipping a beat.

Itachi instantly froze, not moving a muscle!

He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Ji Tiandao was his mysterious ancestor, a figure shrouded in legend and reverence. The connection he felt towards his fellow clansman was deep and profound.

In a world where he felt alone and mentorless, the anticipation of encountering this mighty figure filled Itachi with both excitement and reverence.

With trembling hands, Itachi opened the cover of the book, expecting to uncover a treasure trove of wisdom. But to his dismay, the first page was blank.

Confusion and disappointment washed over him, and he hurriedly flipped through the pages, hoping to find something, anything.

Yet, each page revealed nothing but emptiness. Itachi's heart sank, and a sense of disbelief washed over him. How could a book authored by his ancestor be empty? What were the original contents that had been lost to time?

As Itachi stared at the empty pages of the book, a mix of frustration and determination welled up within him. He couldn't understand why the book appeared empty, especially considering its author was his revered ancestor, Ji Tiandao. There had to be a reason, a hidden secret that only those with the right abilities could uncover.

With a deep breath, Itachi closed the book and held it tightly in his hands. Even though Master Tie did not give him permission to read the contents of the pavilions books, Itachi would rather die than let anyone else obtain this book. This was a personal treasure to him!

As he pondered his next move, Itachi's Sharingan began to subtly activate, its one tomoe spinning lazily. Itachi felt a strange sensation in his eyes, as if they were guiding him.

" Whats going on? Why has my sharingan activated on its own? " Suddenly the book Itachi was holding started to glow in a faint blue light. Realising the subtle connection with his eyes activating, Itachi instantly understood!

He hurriedly opened the first page of the book. A smile bloomed on Itachis face, the contents on the first page were visible. The only pre requisite was that his sharingan had to be active.

He read the first paragraph with focused anticipation.

< If your able to read the contents of this book, then it has found its rightful owner. I dont know your name but I know that you have come to this world externally. Your not an inhabitant of this universe, a bit like me should i say. We come from the same place.

There is things i can not mention right now, the heavens are watching my each and every move. So i have created this book as a guide for you to navigate your way around this world.

Hehe, you must of met that old friend of mine, i hope that the scroll there has reached you. I apologise , he is quit eccentric. >

Itachi laughed as he read more, his ancestor that he wanted to meet somehow knew he would come here! This led Itachi to question everything, it seemed like his transmigration here was not just some luck , there seemed to be a deep secret or agenda behind it.

< Now, I know it may seem like your on your own. Do not falter, my descendants are not cowards! I am waiting for you at the peak. Once you reach that realm you will naturally be able to find me. I will tell you everything.

But heed my next words , time is of the essence… I am not able to leave my current abode, I cannot help you at this moment. Cultivate diligently, this opening page has my message to you directly. The next pages will contain guides and details about this world.

I have compiled these all for you. Do not think you found this book by chance, the power of fate isnt something you can fathom. This world is extremely dangerous, the world of shinobi is but a mere dust fragment compared to it! Watch your back and trust NO ONE.

Most importantly, do not smear the name Uchiha. Good luck my descendant >

Itachi softly closed the book, however without him realising 2 tomoes were rapidly spinning in his eyes. He had advanced his eye powers.

But a deep killing intent was hidden within those very eyes, Almost reaching a corporal level. Itachi was emotional , this ancestor of his never left him alone. And yet he knew clearly that his ancestor was having trouble right now, only the heavens knew what desperation he was facing.

He could tell by this message that he was clearly trapped and confined somewhere, his life and death status unknown. Itachi knew this book was written hundreds of years ago, who knew what could've changed in these past centuries?

He had to help his ancestor! He had to reach the peak! He wanted to desperately find out why he was reincarnated here, what were the powers hidden in the shadows that drove his ancestor to this state!

A sense of urgency gripped at Itachi's heart. He had to hurry up, he knew this small sect was but a drop in the ocean. There was a vast world out there waiting to be unraveled.

" After i complete this mission from the system, and acquire the 1 tailed beast Shukaku , alongside reaching foundation establishment. I have to leave…! Since when did i fear danger? So be it if i have to face the dangers that lurked outside this sect. I have no time to wait! "

Itachi put the book in his spacial inventory and turned around. Today was a basic introduction day, he was free to leave now.

Itachi headed straight for the gate. He had to plan his next moves, he needed to reach foundation establishment as soon as possible. With this trail of thought Itachi left the pavilion.

Master Tie who was absorbed in reading an unknown book, lifted his head up and watched Itachis fading figure.

" Ehh , hes already leaving? I forgot to mention that i wont be in the pavilion tomorrow. Hopefully he has learned the basics, and his diligent in his work tomorrow"

With this Master Tie continued reading his book, absorbing himself in its contents.

***

Itachi opened the door to his dorm room, not wasting a single second he took out 15 mid grade Qi condensation pills!

" I wonder what will happen if i take 15 of these at the same time… "

Gulp!
