A Simple and Fulfilling Life

"Alright, stop."

Yayoi stopped his movements.

"Mm."

Rin nodded, still expressionless.

The two stopped what they were doing, and Rin couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Is this a new ninjutsu?"

"You could say that, a Wind Release ninjutsu."

Yayoi nodded and said vaguely.

"Mm."

Rin nodded and didn't ask further.

"Lend me this sword back for now. I'll forge two swords for you later. One sword isn't quite suitable for you."

"Okay."

Rin obediently handed the sword to Yayoi.

Yayoi took back Prototype No. 1 and felt very satisfied with Rin, satisfied in all aspects.

Rin was different from Yan. Rin was very obedient. Whatever he said, Rin would do it, never even asking for the reason.

This was something even Yan couldn't match.

However, the two of them were different. Even so, Yayoi had the thought of abducting Rin.

But this couldn't be said directly; he had to probe slowly and influence her subtly.

Besides, he might not even leave Konoha in the future.

If he could become Hokage, who would bother to start a business painstakingly?

However, with the Uchiha Clan's connection, Yayoi actually felt it was quite uncertain.

Even if Tsunade didn't care, the Third Hokage did, and the Konoha higher-ups cared just as much.

The probability of him becoming Hokage was extremely low, unless there was no other choice.

But Konoha currently had many talents: the Sannin, White Fang, and so on, as well as a new batch of talents waiting to grow.

Yayoi felt he probably couldn't do it. It wasn't that he couldn't win, but that the Uchiha Clan had dragged him down too much.

But Yayoi didn't regret it.

Since Yan was his "good" friend, Yayoi wouldn't regret it.

Getting back to the topic.

Even if she didn't leave Konoha, Rin could be considered his assistant, or subordinate.

The same sentence again. Rin was too obedient.

Yayoi initially thought she might be too reserved, bottling up her words, but after probing, he realized that Rin genuinely didn't want to express herself right now.

It seemed the pressure from the Caged Bird had caused her inner self to enter a state of isolation.

Yet, she was very friendly towards him, and this friendliness was the reason why she would execute anything he asked her to do.

"Let's break the Caged Bird as soon as possible. For this kindness, Rin will probably have to work for me for ten years."

Thinking this in his heart, Yayoi greeted Rin and prepared to leave.

"We're almost at the Hyuga Clan Territory, so I won't see you off."

Yayoi waved his hand and left on his own.

After watching him walk away, Rin also silently returned home.

Just then, she suddenly bumped into someone.

She instinctively assumed an attacking stance, but after seeing the person's face clearly, she withdrew her movement and lowered her head.

"Uncle."

"Rin."

The Hyuga Elder, addressed as uncle, looked at the silent Rin and ruffled her hair.

"Is something on your mind?"

"No."

"Was that child your friend just now?"

The Hyuga Elder saw the taciturn Rin look towards the path Yayoi had taken.

"Yes, an old classmate."

"Silly child, come home with me."

The Hyuga Elder said nothing, just shook his head, took Rin's hand, and led her, the two of them, one big and one small, slowly walking into the Hyuga Clan Territory.

After experimenting with the Rin Sword Dance, Yayoi's interest in the Hyuga's bloodline was immediately piqued.

However, due to a lack of materials, the feeling of having this meat so close yet unable to eat it made him extremely uncomfortable.

To the point where he even considered going to the battlefield early, but this thought flashed past and Yayoi crushed it.

Going to the battlefield early would mean a grave three feet high with grass.

He'd rather die than wade into that muddy water ahead of time.

Fortunately, Yayoi's self-regulation ability was good.

Experiments on the Hyuga Clan were not part of his plan; he allocated only one hour a day for research.

Having adjusted, Yayoi refocused his energy on deciphering the Dragon Script.

Early morning

Yayoi woke up early, washed up, and went with Yan to a dango shop in the village to eat a skewer of Tricolor Dango.

On the way, the two discussed their insights on the swordsmanship taught by Uchiha Enichi and their ninjutsu experience.

Yayoi shamelessly piggybacked on the conversation, and then Yan went to school, while Yayoi sometimes joined her.

Noon

After having lunch with Yan, they continued with classes, or he would skip class to clock in at the hospital.

In the afternoon, Yan would return home to receive ninjutsu and swordsmanship guidance from her Second Grandfather.

At this time, Yayoi would invite Rin out.

They would walk along the roads of the Uchiha Clan to the outskirts, a path with few people, where they wouldn't encounter any Uchiha.

Then, descending from this path, there was a basement.

He heard it was built by a family for shelter in the past, and it was quite spacious. In any case, Yayoi had loved this place the moment he saw it before the new year.

He invited Rin for a physical examination, recorded the experimental data, and treated her to a meal before leaving.

Then, he sent her back before the Hyuga Clan Territory.

At night, he deciphered the Dragon Script, exhausting all his stamina, and officially entered deep sleep.

A simple and unadorned day ended like this.

Such a fulfilling day.

"The Alchemical Circuits from my previous life still have some good uses."

Yayoi looked at the "brick" flowing with Silver Radiance in his hand, a gratified smile appearing on his face.

This was a piece of equipment with Alchemical Circuits carved into metal.

As for the Alchemical Circuits carved into it, Yayoi himself didn't know what they were.

The only Dragon Scripts currently knew were the Wind King Eye from his past life and the Mirror Eye from this life.

Regarding other Dragon Scripts, such as the circuits that needed to be carved for an Alchemical Weapon, was completely ignorant.

However, had seen incomplete Dragon Scripts a few times in literature.

Yayoi had a sudden idea to use the Mirror Eye to analyze these incomplete Dragon Scripts, and it actually succeeded.

Perhaps Word Spirit had improved, or perhaps this Word Spirit was simply too incomplete.

In just two days, Yayoi had completely deciphered this incomplete Word Spirit.

Perhaps the subtle improvement from Blood Rage, a bloodline enhancement, had made the power of the Mirror Eye stronger and stronger.

After all, the Dragon Clan was a race that valued bloodline above all else.

Whether it was a Dragon's Word Spirit, strength, or Alchemy, if your bloodline was superior enough, you could almost crush Dragons with lower-tier bloodlines.

This was a stark contrast, a brutal manifestation of the Dragon Clan's cruelty.

And Yayoi, who controlled two kinds of bloodlines, had coincidentally balanced them.

The two bloodlines could restrain each other, and even mutually promote each other's improvement. Unless one bloodline suddenly faltered, could maintain this state for a very long time.

With the two bloodlines superimposed, even Yayoi could not predict what changes would occur to his Word Spirit.

Of course, it was also possible that this incomplete Dragon Script was simply too simple.

After all, although had great potential for the future, wouldn't suddenly achieve a breakthrough for no reason.

If were to temporarily abandon the Gene Completion Plan for the Dragon Script Analysis Plan, could decipher these two Dragon Scripts in just a year.

But the Gene Completion Plan was the foundation of his existence, and could not give it up.

Therefore, the Dragon Script Plan could only be delayed. Fortunately, had plenty of time.
