Chapter 18 Dream

Konoha

Nara House

Opposite to each other, with a table in the middle, sat two figures on tatami in a small room on the ground floor.

The room had a strange silence as the man with black hair and a goatee on his chin, kept looking at the small figure with sandy blonde hair before him.

"What's the matter, dad?"

Seeing Shikamaru constantly looking at him, Satoshi felt a bit uncomfortable and asked.

"Sigh,"

Hearing his voice, Shikamaru looked at him once again before sighing, with a helpless look on his face.

"Son, tell me, why did you suddenly start to train so diligently? Is it really just because of the reason you told your mom? "

Asked Shikamaru, looking straight in the eyes of Satoshi, as he couldn't believe a 4-year-old kid could be so diligent for such a reason.

If a child goes through a tragedy, like back in the old days, such persistence can still be understood.

But Satoshi had a happy short life till now, which is what motivated him to even think about the reason behind becoming strong.

He wanted to know as otherwise his restless heart couldn't be calmed down.

His fight with Temari just proved how strong he was, so he wanted to know what happened that changed Satoshi so much.

"As expected, a man with an IQ of over 200 can't be fooled so easily"

Hearing his question, Satoshi knew immediately that the only thing that could remove the doubt about Shikamaru was the cover he created.

"Dad," I actually saw a dream a few months ago."

Satoshi had naturally prepared an excuse to deal with this situation.

So, putting on a cute and innocent expression, he started to speak while rubbing the back of his head.

"A dream?"

Shikamaru's eyes looked a little confused as he kept looking at Satoshi, wanting to know more.

"Yes, Dad, I can still remember everything clearly... It was unbelievable! "

Satoshi spoke as a look of awe appeared on his face as his tone gradually got more and more excited.

"What did you see?"

Shikamaru, seeing the devoted look in the eyes of Satoshi, got even more curious as he asked quickly.

"Dad, you won't believe it. I saw a man using a sword to cut huge mountains and defeat bad guys that had white eyes just like Aunt Hinata."

Satoshi said with excitement as an astonishing look appeared on the face of Shikamaru, but Satoshi ignored him and kept speaking.

I couldn't see the face of that man clearly... But he killed numerous bad guys before he was exhausted, but even when dying, he said something about protecting his loved ones. "

"Dad, I want to be like him, cutting huge mountains and defeating bad guys. It's so cool!"

Satoshi waved his fists in the air like he was really a four-year-old kid, with a longing and excited expression on his face.

If it was in his previous life, Satoshi would have easily won an Oscar for such wonderful acting.

"Is he really?"

Shikamaru looked at the child waving his hands excitedly before him, and a complex look appeared on his face.

A lazy guy like him had a son who was the reincarnation of a God Killer. Shikamaru didn't know how to describe his mood.

"Son, do you recall the name of the man you saw in your dream?"

Shikamaru asked, as though from the words he was already 100% sure, but getting confirmation from Satoshi wouldn't cost anything.

Yeah, Dad, those bad guys called him something like, "It was a very difficult name, hmm... Yeah, I remember it now."

"Trafalgar D. Water Law"

"That's what they called him, even the name is so cool!"

Hearing Shikamaru's question, Satoshi knew immediately that he had almost believed him, so he gave the final push, revealing the name with an exciting look all over his face.

Shikamaru closed his eyes as he realized nothing could change the fact that his son is the reincarnation of the God Killer.

"Sigh...

"I don't know whether it is a curse or a blessing for him... what a pain..."

Shikamaru reflected, looking at his son in front of him, as one thing was certain: his son would never have an ordinary future.

"Son, do you know anything about this man, Trafalgar Law?"

Shikamaru calmed down considerably as he asked Satoshi for more information, hoping to learn what this Will of D. was.

"No, Dad, I never saw that man again after that dream; I only knew his name."

But Satoshi poured cold water on his hope, as telling too much can reveal flaws, so Satoshi didn't plan on telling anything, at least not now.

"I see... By the way, How did you become so strong in just three months? "

Satoshi's answers did explain why he trained so diligently, but attaining high Chunin rank strength was impossible, as he was only 4.

"I don't know why, since the night I had that dream, I can understand things easily. and I don't get tired easily either."

Once again, Satoshi blamed the non-existent God Killer for everything.

"Oh, I see..."

Hearing his words, Shikamaru didn't ask anything anymore as Satoshi stood up and went outside to ask Gaara and Kankuro for some Jutsu, leaving a thoughtful Shikamaru alone in the room.
