Shun POV
The fight with Indra and Ashura was many things and I was quite satisfied. Although I improvised with the Titanification, it still gave me some data I would work on in the future.
Combining the Titanification and Domain Expansion was a great combination and I would reckon that even if I fought Hagoromo I wouldn't be on the losing side. The only downside is that Hagoromo has more chakra than me.
And to be honest, Ashura and Indra did grow during the 4 years I've been out, it's almost like this world depends on fighting to grow stronger. During the hand-to-hand fight against them both, I could see that although they didn't have any set fighting technique or form, there wasn't any overly wasted movement when they punched or kicked.
My Perfect Reflection ability worked wonders in discerning their moves and helping me counter-attack but it did put a minor stress on my nerves, if not for my healing speed, I would likely be bleeding like the Uchihas, I guess I need to look into it.
Another thing I noticed is that although I was in my Godspeed form, they could still see or sense me approaching. Not that the Godspeed form is weak, but the common sense in this world as well as their laws of physics and biology is not something you can understand with common sense if you follow.
The only thing I can say gave me an upper hand was the extra effects of the Godspeed mode, being the increased reaction speed and perception. This mode is the best combat mode I have as of now, maybe if I used the Lightning Armor it will increase further but for now, this is the best mode.
Why? Because it works in tandem with my Rikugan. Although the Rukugan puts all my passive abilities on steroids the Godspeed mode further increases the abilities. That is if with my Rikugan, I could accelerate my thought by 3 or 4, add in the Godspeed mode and it becomes x3 or 4.
That's an illustration though for the future average descendants. Currently, with my brain's thought capacity and healing ability, I could literally move in stopped time, but then again it's the Naruto world we're talking about so let's throw our common sense out the window.
Indra with his EMS could keep up with me while Ashura with his passive observation haki, could sense my presence so the fight was exciting. I even managed to copy all their dan-, cough, I mean fighting moves and the battle became easier.
I don't know if y'all are thinking what I am thinking but if my clan exists till the warring and shinobi era, they'd literally be unbeatable In protracted battles, and if you don't one-shot them, they'd acclimate and that will be the end.
Damn, I'm beginning to feel pity for the future enemies of my clan. Mah mah, the future will take care of itself, after all, with all the books I'll be leaving, I doubt my clan will be foolish and shortsighted.
Anyways, I was satisfied with the data my experiment gave me in this fight, now I know all the abilities I inserted to create my Doujutsu are walking perfectly well. Though I have the feeling, as time goes on these abilities will cease to appear in my clan.
Not to underestimate them, but I doubt any of them will be able to reach the Domain expansion creation. This ability is the last of the eye ability similar to the EMS of the Sharingan but closer to the Rinnegan and if they could reach that stage, they'd be undefeatable.
Maybe they'd get a Perfect Reflection, 360 vision, perfect chakra control, ability to see chakra, and Lesser Thought Acceleration but that may be all, to go further, they'd have to reach a balance between their physical and mental abilities.
For them to reach the Domain Expansion stage, they'd have to have an imaginative mind, control over their Yin chakra and spiritual energy, and also if they wish, other elements they want to incorporate Into the domain.
Take me for example, I could use any element including not only space but also time and gravity. Gravity may ne an extension of space from one perspective but it is also an extension of Earth from another perspective. I could make a pebble as heavy as a mountain and inversely make a mountain as heavy as a pebble.
Now I don't know if that is an application of gravity but it sure counts as one in my book, space and gravity also have some similarities as every object in space exert a gravitational pull on every other, and so gravity influences the paths taken by everything traveling through space. It is the glue that holds together entire galaxies. It keeps planets in orbit. It makes it possible to use human-made satellites and to go to and return from the Moon. It makes planets habitable by trapping gasses and liquids in an atmosphere. It can also cause life-destroying asteroids to crash into planets.
But that's not what we're here for, that's an extensive look into gravity manipulation, I'll probably think of that when I leave this planet, If I leave, only the future can tell.
But back to what I was saying, I could control all these elements both minor and major in my domain and that makes me Overpowered as fuck, the only downside would be my chakra, but that's nothing time wouldn't fix.
About the time control stunt I pulled, it's merely the perception of time, similar to Gojo's Domain Expansion. Hmm, now that I think about it, I could recreate the limitless ability of Gojo with my domain, something like making my domain passively exists around me and making everything that comes in contact with me move till they lose momentum, it could be my own Time Space had like Obito's Kamui.
I chuckled at the thought of that, 'Imagine some random Otsûtsûki's face when he bombards me with their own hax abilities and it doesn't have any effect on me.
His could be the upgraded version of Urashiki's Time Rewind ability, like the version 15 pro max or something.
'Anyways, try to get back to real-time, ' as I slowed down my thought acceleration that has been active since the battle ended and I started reprimanding Indra and Ashura.
Placing my hands on their shoulders I teleported to an area near the village as I didn't want to bring in the village's number one enemy into the village.
"Alright, not that I mind but if I'm to take Indra inside, half the villagers will run at the sight of him, so if you don't mind changing into someone else, you can do that right?" I asked Indra. Not that I doubt him but you never can tell how his genius can take him.
"Hn" Indra nodded and shrugged.
"Use words next time, you have a mouth for a reason, don't talk with your throat, however, you do that," I said in annoyance, I mean what's with the 'Hn' and stoic face at least chose one of the two and not both. Sigh, no wonder the Uchihas all have sticks up their asses. I would really like to meet unique ones like Shusui.
Hmm? You're wondering why I don't want to meet Itachi? I mean it's obvious, is it not? Although I don't know what he passed through in the anime personally, he shouldn't have slaughtered his clan. Fuck the self-righteous display he put on in the anime, I mean he kill, both shinobi and civilians, adults, aged, and worse of all, children and that includes babies. I don't know why the anime filtered it out but it is what it is.
I mean, I'm not there personally, but I know that there is something like making allies, if he thinks he can't handle the pressure, why didn't he meet other clan heads like the Nara or something? I don't want to know what made him do what he did, but if it seems like it's about to follow the same route in this timeline, I'ma snuff Itachi out before snuffing the ones fueling the rebellion.
Anyways, I looked to the side to see Indra change into a different person entirely which made me nod in appreciation and said, "Alright then, let's go" and started to walk toward the village.
"Um, Shun," Ashura called from the side.
"Hmm?" I answered.
"You can teleport, right?" he asked
"Mmhmm" I nodded
"Then why are we walking in," he asked this time in suppressed annoyance
"Hehe, that's what I call, walkouts" I chuckled and continued, "It's a technique I developed after perfecting my teleportation technique, impressive right?"
"What bullshit technique is that, if that's the case then everyone knows that technique" Ashura shouted without suppressing his annoyance this time.
"Mah, mah, those are minor details, the point is that I developed this technique so that I won't forget how to use my legs," I said.
"Why would you forget how to use your legs?" Ashura asked in confusion, I could also feel Indra's curious and confused gaze at my back.
"Because I could teleport anywhere I wish anytime I wish and doing that too much is not good as I would become reliant on it for even the smallest trek," I said briefly.
Indra nodded and shrugged silently while Ashura also nodded and then said, "But Shun, we just finished fighting and we need rest right big brother" as he looked at Indra looking for support.
Indra Harrumphed and looked to the side but I could feel he was also tired from the fight just now.
"Hmm? I don't recall us fighting. We weren't fighting now we're we?" I asked in fake confusion.
"Dancing, I meant dancing, we are tired from the dance" Ashura corrected himself.
"Hmm, that's good to know, but that's also another reason for us to perform this exercise. You see, trekking help stretch our muscles and circulation of blood, and do you think you're the only one who is tired from our dance, I mean look at Indra, although he doesn't say it, he is tired as well, take this as an exercise to stretch out your muscle from the previous dance or something now shush, walkouts are to be done silence and serenity, I think," I said in one breath not allowing any room for arguments.
Indra grumbled inaudibly while Ashura muttered something which I heard clearly but refused to give any input.
After around 30 minutes trek in silence, we reached the village gate where some of the villagers who saw Ashura became excited for some reason and started greeting him, I mean I was there and was the most eye-catching with the flowing white hair and handsome looks but they ignored me. Not that I'm jealous or something.
I soared a look at Indra to see his reaction and I could see he was burning in silent anger at what one would think was the reception Ashura got, but I could see that it was jealousy fueling his rage. His face was stoic though and no one noticed anything wrong.
It took a while before someone actually noticed my presence and it turned out to ne a girl in her late teens, almost our age mate,
"Ahh, Shun-sama, you're here as well" the girl whom I identified to be Tatsuki said.
"Yes Tatsuki-chan I've been here for a while," I said with a smile as I thought 'I was literally leading the way and was at the center you know '
"Ah sorry I didn't see you there," She said with an embarrassed smile.
"Don't mind it," I said with a calm smile face, but internally I wasn't smiling at all. I mean, can you imagine the disrespect, Hmph. I looked at Indra and noticed that no one even noticed his presence in the least and my mood became better. At least I'm, not the only one.
Something in my mind was telling me it was because he transformed into an ordinary-looking person, as if he looked the same, I wouldn't have even been noticed, I guess that's the mental demon those cultivators usually encounter.
'Nah, I ain't your mental demon bruh' i heard a voice that I decided to ignore as I wouldn't let anything shake my mental state.
"But I heard you came back earlier today, and nobody saw you leave, and now you're back with Ashura-sama," Tatsuki asked interrupting my internal conversation.
"Hmm? Yeah I came back earlier and heard that Ashura was out so I went to fetch him, no big deal" I said casually
She kept asking some random questions and in between, some random villager noticed me and finally decided to get me.
After a while of exchanging greetings, we then proceeded toward our house. While en route, I asked Indra telepathically, "What do you think of the villagers and how they received Ashura?"
He was shocked to hear my voice in his head and while he was filled with questions on how this is possible, he answered, "They should have been mine to lead, I deserve their adoration and praise, not Ashura"
"Oh? But I heard you have your own band of followers, are they not enough?" I asked already expecting the answer from his previous show of jealousy.
"They are good as they chose to follow me, these people here are weak and deserve to be put under control as that is where they are meant to be," Indra said in a matter-of-fact tone.
'Guess he's too far gone' i thought.
"Hmm, if you say so, So what about you, in my eyes, you're also weak, am I meant to put you under my control?" I asked out of curiosity.
"You're strong and so am i. This and that are different...." He kept going on about his ideas and philosophy on how the world is meant to run and I tuned him out. I'm not in the mood to listen and play judge anymore, I have a wife to marry, and many more things in life waiting for me to discover, and I am not going to spend them on this stupid clash of ideologies.
"Ah, we are here," I said suddenly, bringing our attention to the building in front of us.
"Well, let's not keep the old man waiting now," I said as I entered the house.
