"Whoa, your book scared someone again."
Yahiko looked at Yami and Kaito's retreating backs and teased Konan with amused helplessness.
"That's why I always keep the cover of the tome facing myself, but he asked about it this time..."
Seeing Konan's helpless expression, Nagato said, "You could try covering that pattern with paper."
"I considered that, but I was worried people would say it was disrespectful."
"That is indeed possible." Yahiko nodded, agreeing with Konan's concern.
Nagato spread his hands with a smile. "Then there's nothing to be done. Come on, let's find a restaurant and have lunch first."
The three kids chatted as they walked through the bustling crowd.
Yahiko asked curiously, "How many types of talismans are in that tome now?"
"At first, it only had the suppression tags, explosive tags, and sealing tags from our Shinobi World. The strongest was probably Mount Myōboku's Sage Talisman."
"But after the onmyoji, shrine maidens, and mages from the Four Souls World and Hundred Demons World appeared, it updated with over a hundred kinds of spirit talismans."
Konan gently explained the tome's recent changes to the other two.
"So you can use all those talismans?" Yahiko asked again.
"Of course. With my Paper-Paper Fruit ability, I can freely create, copy, and use them."
A proud expression appeared on Konan's face.
"But something like the Sage Talisman definitely requires time to absorb enough natural energy before it can be effective."
"So every six months, I set aside three days specifically to make the talisman paper needed by the Yin-Yang Bureau and Sea Ninja Village."
"As for explosive tags, they no longer need me, because they can already mass-produce ninja tools like the Blast Sword to print explosive tags."
Nagato and Yahiko listened with great interest. Konan clearly knew far more about this
