5 Ch 05: Cursed Tools
The next day he woke up on Shoko's bed.
Seeing her still sleeping and lying so defenselessly on the bed, he felt that if he was older he would be harder than Toji's Playful Clouds.
Seeing her boobs lying on his side, he wanted to take it into his mouth.
Her tits were hard poking out on the top.
But he held it in and got up.
You can't kill the Goose for the Golden Egg.
Today was the Patriarch ceremony, he needed to dress up.
"Shoko san get up, we have to go!"
"Hmm, wait a minute let me sleep"
She said as she turned over.
~~~
"You look handsome"
"Really"
"Of course, how can my brother look bad"
Shoko finished dressing him up and they went out.
But a shadow was waiting outside for them.
'Shadow' are exclusive ninjas that serve only the patriarch, they are restricted by the Heavenly Pact which they form when they join it.
A shadow does not have any kind of freedom but they are also not that powerful, at most they can be used to run errands.
"What happened?"
Shoko asked.
"The Great Elder has called you both to his room"
"Is that so, Isn't the ceremony in the hall?"
Shoko was confused, she didn't know about this.
"I don't know much"
The shadow said.
She gestured to him to leave, she didn't expect him to know much.
The shadow once again disappeared like a ninja.
"Let's go and see what they are looking for us?"
He nodded and followed her.
~~~
As they entered inside, he saw three people sitting inside.
His grandfather, his uncle Reto and Reto's wife Seiko Utlap.
Their seats were already prepared, he followed Shoko to sit beside her.
His grandfather saw with his hollow eyes that everyone was present, so he started speaking.
"Tenshi, since you have awakened your eye now, you must also have awakened your Cursed Technique?"
"Hmm"
He nodded towards him, he awakened his technique 'Seven Heavenly Spirits' but it was not some kind of overpowered technique so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Anyway, he could become the strongest in the world just by his Rinne-Sharingan.
"Which technique did you awaken then?"
Reto asked him, his tone was harsh.
"I don't wanna tell you"
"You…disrespecting elders when you still haven't become the Patriarch, I don't know what will happen if you become one!"
"Just wait for some time and you will know"
He didn't give any face to this so-called Uncle, who does he think he is, Shanks?
Reto was about to continue when his wife stopped him,
Seeing him quiet down, his grandfather started talking again,
"Is it the Toxic Vines Technique?"
"No"
He said flatly after all that isn't a powerful technique.
"Then, I suggest you can give the Purple Serpent to Reto, but it's your choice"
Hearing his grandfather's words he fell into thought.
Purple Serpent and Quick Silver were the only special-grade cursed tools in the Hira family, both of which were used by the Patriarch.
After all, the Hira family was not one of the Three Great Families, so just having two was already good.
Purple Serpent, was a bracelet and as its name suggests its appearance was of a purple snake biting its tail.
It's not an offensive tool but it is very powerful as it gives the user curse energy the poison attribute which makes any direct hit by the user very lethal.
Purple Serpent when made was actually just a first-grade cursed tool but because it was made by the creator for the patriarch of the Hira family it had a specialty.
When worn it cannot be removed until death and after death the purple serpent would suck out all the toxicity out of the user's curse technique, therefore enhancing itself.
Even his father's toxicity was sucked out after his death.
After being used by generations of Patriarchs it has now become a strong special grade cursed tool.
But even after so many conditions, he didn't necessarily have to give it Reto, since it was not necessary to have the Toxic Vines Technique to use it.

As for, Quick Silver, it was contrary to its name was a bronze arrow.
It was gifted by the Zenin Clan to Hira Clan as a symbol of their long-lasting friendship.
Its use was very simple, it could be controlled using the mind to attack enemies.
Although it was very fast it did not have enough attack power, so it could massacre low-level curses easily but for the strong curses, one could only use it to create opportunity and then deal a fatal blow.
Its speed depends on the user's proficiency in controlling it.
They might seem powerful, but even with them, his father who was a strong sorcerer died helplessly.

"I allow it then"
After thinking about it, he decided to give it to him since he didn't want many struggles in the family, he was young too and most importantly he didn't need it.
Hearing his words, Reto's brows wrinkled, it was hard for him to control his anger against this brat.
Why can he become the Patriarch just because of an extra eye?
When his father was the patriarch he had no eyes at all.
"Why don't you thank the Patriarch yet, Reto?"
Hearing his father's words, he wished he could kill him but he still bowed.
"Thank Patriarch for the gift"
"It's for the Family"
He cheekily said.
"Okay, since it is decided let Zutu come in"
Soon, a hideous-looking, lizard-like curse walked on its fours.
He knew it was Zutu, his father's curse spirit. It was bred by the Utlap branch.
After all, it is their job to breed curse spirits that can be controlled by humans.
But what makes the Utlap branch special is Zutu's grade.
Zutu is a semi-grade one cursed spirit capable of walking through shadows.
It must be him who retrieved the cursed tools from the dead body.
Zutu came to him and spit out the Patriarch's token as well as the two cursed tools.
He tossed Purple Serpent at Reto who caught it and put it on.
All of a sudden, he was covered in blue energy all over but slowly the blue colour started to turn purple and then dissipated.
"Ah, these things can only be used by powerful sorcerers"
"Isn't it why my father had it?"
"You…Brat"
He ignored the guy and asked his grandfather.
"Are Zutu's burns caused by the cursed spirit who killed father?"
"Hmm, the council has still not identified it, it seems to be a new special grade curse spirit that uses flames"
"Hmm"
'It cannot be Jogo right?'
He thought but didn't speak out.
He didn't have any thoughts of avenging at all.
He just wanted to spend his time with Shoko in a tub.
Alas, but thinking about Jogo and tub he remembered the Cursed Spirit Dagon, who was a strong curse spirit and was still a cursed womb when the Original started.
