Chapter 67 Basement
In the evening of that day, in the back hall of the Uchiha clan shrine,
"Resolution" was completed with the Indian style of an old man with gray hair and a kind face.
There was a slight 'rumbling' sound of stones rubbing against each other. Then a huge stone slab with a thickness of nearly a foot and an area of nearly two square meters slowly rose up.
"Toshiro, follow me!"
After saying that, he didn't care about Toshiro's reaction. Nodding to the old man next to him, Uchiha Fugaku took the lead towards the basement.
This is the shrine of the Uchiha clan, which worships many gods enshrined by the family, such as Susano'o, the God of Destruction, Kagami the Fire God, Amaterasu and Thunder God, etc.
At the same time, this is also the ancestral hall of the Uchiha clan. After each family member's soul returns to the Pure Land, a memorial tablet will be erected here for relatives to mourn.
This old man was appointed by his family to be the palace secretary in charge of this shrine and also serves as the priest. It is mainly responsible for offering sacrifices to the gods enshrined in past generations and praying for deceased members of the family. At the same time, he is responsible for guarding the family's secret meeting place and this secret room.
Of course, he is not the only priest in this shrine, there is also a priest and four shrine maidens. Responsible for receiving the tribesmen who usually come to offer incense, ask for fortune-telling, and pray for blessings, as well as the occasional tourists from the village.
In the shrines of the Land of Fire, there is usually a palace minister. Below the palace minister is the palace minister. When the palace minister is absent, he is the acting palace minister, which is the second position. He is responsible for assisting the palace minister when he is absent. The person who handles matters at the shrine.
Under the palace secretary is Ni Yi, who is similar to the palace secretary and mainly plays an assisting role.
Under Ni Yi is Quan Ni Yi, who is responsible for handling those who complete the tasks assigned by the above positions.
The divine master is mainly responsible for the sacrificial matters. There are also cases where the palace minister also serves as the divine master. However, in terms of status, the importance of the divine master cannot be compared with that of the palace minister.
Next is Zhu Bu, a social worker. Priest, a social employee (although this position is usually appointed by the public)
Miko, the most common shrine staff, are responsible for selling royal guards, exchanging prayers, and performing kagura dances. Generally female, but not exclusively a female priesthood.
Of course, these are only the shrine staff within the Uchiha family, so it is reasonable to streamline them.
After bowing hastily with the old man, Toshiro followed Fugaku's figure and walked down the stairs.
Go through a dark corridor.
Then we came to the main room of this basement. The entire basement was square. The area is not huge, but it is not small either, about forty or fifty square meters.
There is a candlestick in each of the four corners. At this time, the candles above have been lit by Fugaku who came down first. The dim candlelight entered his eyes and illuminated the entire basement.
Displayed in the center of the basement are two huge sandalwood bookshelves and a granite stone platform with black flame relief.
It is different from the slightly messy data room within the family. Every book, scroll, and manuscript here is divided into categories and arranged neatly.
Even the materials used to record this knowledge are very different from conventional data rooms. They are obviously tougher, easier to store for a long time, and more precious at the same time.
[The confidence of the Uchiha clan is really extraordinary! ] Looking at the furnishings in the basement, Toshiro couldn't help but sigh.
One of the bookshelves is labeled with five labels: fire, thunder, wind, earth, and water. Under each label, there are hundreds or dozens of scrolls stacked quietly.
These are the various attribute ninjutsu that the Uchiha clan has collected over thousands of years. With the Sharingan, they have an unparalleled advantage in this regard.
There are more than a dozen scrolls among them, which are very different from other scrolls. Its appearance appears to be thicker, and the information recorded is not paper, but the leather of some unknown creature, and the bearings are also made of jade-like material. Toshiro couldn't help but secretly wonder, are these all S-level?
Seals, runes, curse seals, and illusions are marked on another bookshelf. At the same time, there are also many exquisite scrolls that appear to be S Ninjutsu, but there are no specific labels and it is difficult to judge.
On the stone platform in the middle are placed several huge scrolls with a length of more than half a meter. Likewise, these scrolls have no markings, but just looking at their size, you can tell that they are extraordinary.
"These are the secret techniques collected by the family over the years!" Fugaku's voice sounded just as his eyes moved back and forth between the bookshelves, signs, and scrolls.
"On the first bookshelf are the regular ninjutsu that the family has collected over the years. They are all above C level, and a dozen of them have reached S level."
Seeing Toshiro looking over, he introduced them one by one. His eyes were full of pride and complacency.
He just glanced at the young man's expression, turning a blind eye to his surprised expression, and instead began to introduce it in a proud tone.
"The other bookshelf records some sealing techniques, enchantment techniques, conventional illusion techniques, and some secret techniques collected by the family. However, some of these secret techniques are incomplete, but they are of great reference value!"
"And there are several huge scrolls placed on this granite stone platform. They record the secret scroll of fire escape, the secret scroll of illusion, yin and yang escape, and forbidden arts!"
The secret scrolls among them are all accumulated bit by bit by the Uchiha family since the Warring States Period.
The Fire Release Secret Scroll is the brainchild of countless Uchiha ancestors in terms of the nature and form changes of Fire Release.
The Secret Scroll of Genjutsu records the exclusive genjutsu of the Sharingan that can only be used by those who have awakened the family lineage limit.
And this Yin-Yang Escape Secret Scroll, the Yin Escape part can be said to be the only one in the entire ninja world. As for the Yang Escape, although the family has made good achievements, there is still a certain gap compared with Qianju.
As for the final forbidden jutsu part, it not only records 'Izanagi' and 'Izanami', but also some ninjutsu that are extremely risky to use and have extremely tragic endings.
"Except for the 'Secret Scroll of Illusion Techniques' and the 'Secret Scroll of Forbidden Techniques' which can only be practiced by opening the Sharingan Eye, you can choose any one, copy it here, and take it home to practice."
"In view of your excellent performance in the graduation test~The clan leader specially ordered, I hope you can cherish this hard-won opportunity~~~"
After hearing this, Toshiro couldn't help but turn his head and look at the secrets in the entire basement.
In the basement with flickering lights, he looked at several large bookshelves in front of him and several huge scrolls on the stone platform. Uchiha Toshiro suddenly had difficulty choosing.
He really wanted to move all the information in the basement to his home. I have time to slowly read each book one by one, but things are not always as expected.
