Gilgamesh Reborn in Naruto

°SHISUI UCHIHA°

“You again. What do you want?” Gilgamesh asked as he stopped on top of a roof.

“It seems you really are a sensory-type ninja. I just wanted to thank you for not coming to that part of the forest to meet those guys. They were really pissed that you took them by surprise.” The figure who had been following him landed on the roof behind Gilgamesh.

“The only reason I didn’t go is that I found something else worth my time. You still have your mask on,” Gilgamesh said as he turned with his arms folded.

“Yes, I am, after all, an undercover ninja and can’t…” Itachi tried to explain but was cut off.

“Itachi Uchiha, right? You shouldn’t have come for the Chunin assembly, especially near a sensory-type ninja. Weren’t you at least taught something like that?” Gilgamesh asked as arrogance swelled within him.

“If you were any other person, I would have silenced you,” Itachi remarked.

“You would even find it very hard to do that in your dreams,” Gilgamesh said, smiling ear to ear.

“You must be very confident in your abilities. Let’s have a spar in the…” Itachi offered.

“Unlike you, I am very busy. It must be nice to be in the Anbu and have such free time,” Gilgamesh mocked as he jumped away. The wind passed, and Itachi was glad Gilgamesh couldn’t see his shocked expression since his mask hid it. “That kid... haha.” Itachi laughed to himself for a while and soon left to wake his brother up for school.

Gilgamesh had to wait for an hour before the library opened and asked for the shelves that contained studies on seals. And soon, that became Gilgamesh’s usual spot. He was soon known among some of the villagers who visited the library often. After two weeks, Gilgamesh went to the training grounds to put some of what he had learned into practice. He often sensed Captain Yamato watching him from time to time. After two months without any assignment or duty, Gilgamesh reported to the Hokage mansion and booked an appointment with the advisor. No more than two hours passed with Gilgamesh playing with a transparent cube that floated on his palm and black sealing markings around it was soon called to meet the advisor.

“Alright, what’s the matter now, Lord Gilgamesh?” Shikaku asked lazily as Gilgamesh walked in and greeted him.

“Do you have any sealing scrolls or seals made by the Uzumaki clan?” Gilgamesh asked.

“Oh… I see. You actually spent your time studying barriers and that led you to sealing jutsu, right?” Shikaku asked as he released a sigh and scratched the back of his head. Gilgamesh nodded his head and confirmed Shikaku's assumptions. “Well, you see, the Uzumaki clan was once an ally to the village. However, some of the great nations deemed the Uzumaki clan to be too powerful and decided to focus on eradicating them. Ever since their demise, we honour them by putting their clan’s logo on the back of our jackets,” Shikaku said as he reached for the red spiralling circle at his back. “So… almost all their techniques have been lost,” Shikaku sighed once again.

“But not all, right?” Gilgamesh asked again.

“You don’t have clearance for forbidden jutsu,” Shikaku said sternly.

“Hmm… What about chakra absorption jutsu?” Gilgamesh asked again.

“Not a barrier scroll? Are you sure? You only get this one from me once for free,” Shikaku advised Gilgamesh, who still insisted on it.

“Fine,” Shikaku said and looked for a blue scroll on a shelf in his office. “But I must warn you, it's not every chakra you absorb that is useful; some may even taint you or harm you permanently… I think you should even read up on this before I…” Shikaku said as Gilgamesh quickly snatched the scroll and left his office. “What a drag,” Shikaku said as he sat on his chair.

‘Now it’s time to meet the man in my vision,’ Gilgamesh said as he ventured deep into the village.

“Haa… haa.” Exhausted from his training, a young man with black hair rested on a tree overlooking a cliff that was a bit far from the exhausted young man.

“Hard at work as usual Shisui,” a voice said behind the tree. Shisui without turning back, appeared to have phased out from his initial spot and into an upright position to look at the intruder who immediately released a small transparent cube with black sealing inscriptions on it from his palm which expanded outward and covered a small area in seconds.

“It’s already too late…” Gilgamesh said but jumped out of the way and immediately erected an earth wall that blocked slashes from made out of flames that clashed on the earth wall within seconds and destroyed it immediately. Following Shisui’s movements with his eye was not a problem, but his body couldn’t react in time when Shisui appeared behind in that same instant with a punch aimed for the back of his head. Thrusting his hands backwards, violent winds escaped from his palms as he used the force as a boost to evade that dangerous situation. As soon as Gilgamesh got three seconds to collect his thoughts, he concentrated on the new technique he created a while back with his knowledge of barriers and seals. Gilgamesh activated his jutsu, and Shisui stopped attacking Gilgamesh with just a moment to spare since he appeared behind Gilgamesh’s back again.

‘That was too close for comfort,’ Gilgamesh thought calming himself by sitting in a lotus position, he then moved Shisui deep into the forest. As he moved, the barrier that had expanded to cover a small area moved with him. Entering into the fake reality Gilgamesh created for Shisui, he met Shisui sitting across a table set before him with different delicacies his memories provided him.

“You, just who are you?” Shisui asked folding his hands. “I am Gilgamesh and soon be your liberator if you wish,” Gilgamesh said as he sat in the air and a chair formed below him from golden particles.
