Within Tenshu Tower.
The transaction with Konoha went very smoothly. A few days after Yayoi returned, he received the basic ninja textbook from Konoha.
Other transactions are also progressing at the same time, but he leaves those matters to his subordinates, and he only needs to check and seal the final steps.
Yayoi plans to personally inspect the basic textbooks that are put into schools and used for ninja education.
"Is this all? There are really a lot of them."
Yayoi looked at the books and scrolls stacked on the floor and couldn't help but sigh.
The number of books and scrolls alone is in the hundreds.
Not only the basic Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu, but also the guidance books on the understanding and explanation of Chakra account for a large proportion.
In addition, there are a variety of subjects such as history, herbalism, chakra mineralogy, etc. These have condensed the knowledge accumulation of many ninja clans over thousands of years, and the content covers almost all aspects.
Among all the transactions reached by Land of Night and Konoha, the purchase amount of this batch of teaching materials was the highest.
The importance of ninja knowledge in this era is self-evident, especially the basic knowledge of teaching ninjas from scratch is an extremely valuable asset.
"According to the reply from Konoha, this is only the first batch, Master Yayoi."
Irori corrected an error in the speech of Yayoi.
"Ah? This is the first batch?"
Hearing this, Yayoi couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"Yes, the second and third batch of teaching materials are still being compiled by Konoha. According to the description, they should be some extended knowledge. If everything goes well, they will be delivered next month."
Irori smiled and sighed.
To be honest, even she did not expect that so many systematic textbooks for teaching the basics of ninja could be compiled.
Compared with Konoha, the basic teaching materials they produced here are really poor and crude.
The teaching materials they compiled independently are basically East and West, and in many fields it is impossible to form a complete and unified ninja knowledge system.
"I have a bit of a headache now... Let's put it here for now, and then take some time to sort it out."
Considering that there will be a second and third batch of basic textbooks in the future, Yayoi decided to put it on hold for now.
Anyway, this batch of teaching materials will be put into use next year. He has enough time to organize and revise them, so there is no need to rush the work.
So, Yayoi locked the warehouse door and took Irori back to the office.
"Speaking of which, there is one thing I forgot to mention. Miss Izayoi has been transferred back to Nightview City from the mining area for a few days. How should she arrange her next work?"
As soon as Yayoi sat down, Irori opened his mouth to report.
"It just so happens that Aoi and Rinko are on maternity leave, and there is a lack of help here. Let her come over and give it a try."
Yayoi didn't think much and finalized the matter.
"Let Jonin be the general servant?"
Generally, people at the Chunin and Genin levels are doing the general chores and chores.
Previously, Aoi and Rinko were specialized in handling this kind of work.
The ability does not need to be outstanding, but the candidate must be loyal and have enough patience and endurance.
"After all, she is still very young and needs to accumulate some experience to be able to stand on her own."
"That's right. Then please ask Master Yayoi to teach her more experience so that Miss Izayoi can take charge of her own business as soon as possible."
Listening to Irori's meaningful words of encouragement, Yayoi always felt that something was strange.

Nightview City.
Uchiha Clan Compound, Naka Shrine.
The number of people present at the meeting, including the patriarch Uchiha Hokuto, remained at nine.
After nearly a year of development, although their lineage has established a firm foothold in Land of Night, the development time is still short after all, and it is still difficult to cultivate Jonin who can open Three-Tomoe Sharingan in the short term.
However, as the patriarch, Hokuto is very optimistic about the future development prospects. He believes that as long as enough time is given, it will not be difficult for their Uchiha to grow in Land of Night.
Hokuto The content of the meeting held this time was not complicated. Just like any regular meeting, it mainly focused on discussing the work at hand, exchanging information, and confirming whether support was needed.
This kind of regular meeting will be held by Hokuto once a month at Naka Shrine.
Since all the participants were Jonin, and the work at hand was not difficult, everyone naturally said that they could solve the problem on their own without any help.
Hokuto nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his attention to Meirou, who was similar in age and strength to himself.
"Meirou, how are the negotiations going between you and Konoha?"
As soon as Hokuto finished speaking, others also turned their attention to Meirou.
Unlike those of them who took the initiative to leave Konoha, Meirou followed them out. First, he was entrusted by the elder Gu Le to serve as the guard of Izayoi, and second, he served as a mouthpiece for communication between the two sides.
But as Izayoi was able to take charge of his own business, their lineage also gained a firm foothold in Land of Night. Meirou felt that his mission had been successfully completed and it was not appropriate to continue to stay here.
So with the idea of returning to Konoha Uchiha Clan, he negotiated with Konoha many times, hoping that the tribe could arrange for him to return as soon as possible.
Regarding Meirou's decision, everyone neither opposed nor agreed, allowing him to make his own decision to stay or go.
Although Meirou's motives were not pure when he left with them, in the past few years, even if there is no credit, there is still hard work.
As long as the topic of returning their lineage to Konoha is not involved, they can tolerate the existence of Meirou.
Upon hearing Hokuto's inquiry, Meirou sighed softly and rubbed his brows, seeming to be in some kind of distress.
"The situation is not very optimistic. I left the family too early, and Konoha has no record of my identity... Now if I want to go back, the procedures are very difficult."
To log in to Ninja information, you need to be present in person. This is a mandatory rule that has been in place since the establishment of Ninja Village.
Unfortunately, when Konoha conducted a census of all ninjas, he had already left with Hokuto and others with his mission, and naturally missed the opportunity to register his identity.
In other words, because he left Konoha early, no matter what the reason, he is not really Konoha Ninja.
Every time he sent a letter asking about identity registration, the Uchiha people of Konoha replied "inquiring", and nothing happened after that.
Meirou couldn't help but wonder if the tribesmen were perfunctory with him.
Even his former boss, Elder Gu Le, just asked him to wait patiently at Land of Night, saying that it would be handled soon.
"If you need any help, just ask, as long as I can help."
Hokuto has no ill feelings towards Meirou, a fellow member of the same race, but thinks he is a bit stubborn.
Meirou nodded absently, indicating that he understood.
"Izayoi, how is the situation over there? I heard from Xia that you had contact with the person from the Uzumaki Clan yesterday?"
Hokuto looked at Izayoi and asked.
"Well, I did have a few chats with her."
Izayoi naturally knows that the 'that one' mentioned by Hokuto refers to the general's concubine wife Hisana.
Everyone present sat upright and took a solemn attitude of listening.
Even Meirou sat up slightly, obviously he was also concerned about what Uzumaki Clan, the general's side chamber, thought of the Uchiha Clan.
"Then what kind of person do you think she is? In other words, is she a threat to us Uchiha Clan...?"
Hokuto folded his arms and got to the point directly.
Izayoi looked solemn and his tone became lower:
"The following words are by no means alarmist. According to my speculation, she is probably an extremely dangerous person who rejects us Uchiha Clan..."
As Uzumaki Clan, the other party claimed that she was not familiar with Uchiha and Senju. Faced with her questions, the other party was often in a daze, making no secret of her perfunctory prevarication, and simply treating her as a fool...
This made Izayoi more and more certain that the red-haired and fierce witch was definitely not a kind person. She must be a scheming woman who hides a knife in her smile and is as cunning as a fox. She must be extremely vigilant.
After hearing Izayoi's hostile statement, everyone, including Hokuto, looked solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Please tell me the communication you had with that person carefully. Don't miss anything."
Hokuto thought about it for a while and asked Izayoi to explain the process.
Izayoi nodded, and then described in detail the content of the conversation with Hisana yesterday afternoon, and even the other party's movements and demeanor when speaking.
"Hmm... Is there a possibility that she is really not familiar with the Senju Clan and us Uchiha Clan?"
Meirou frowned. Through Izayoi's description, he felt that Mrs. Hisana seemed a little... ignorant of the world?
However, Meirou's words were immediately refuted by others.
"There must be a limit to joking! You can barely explain it if you don't understand our Uchiha, but you have repeatedly stated that you are not familiar with the Senju Clan... No matter how you look at it, you are maliciously teasing Izayoi based on your identity, right?"
"That's right! Uzumaki and Senju, they have existed almost as one for hundreds of years. The relationship between them is much closer than we imagined. How could they not be familiar with each other?"
"Is this the type where needles are hidden in the cotton? The situation seems to be a bit troublesome now..."
"Sure enough, the strategy of treating her as an imaginary enemy in advance is very correct."
... Listening to the tribesmen talking about it, even the patriarch Hokuto was infected by this atmosphere, and Meirou hesitated to speak.
He wanted to express that as an old enemy of Senju and a member of the Uchiha Clan, he was also not very familiar with Senju.
His position at the Uchiha Clan basically involves patrolling the family territory. Over the past few decades, he has fought against the ninjas of Senju only a handful of times, and each time he ended up without a cure.
Therefore, when he faced Senju Clan, he was different from most of the tribesmen. He had no deep hatred and hatred, and it was difficult for him to empathize with the tribesmen's experiences.
In the Uchiha Clan, people like him are undoubtedly a kind of alien and seem incompatible with the clan members.
He suspected that Hisana was in a similar situation. Although she was born in the Uzumaki Clan, due to her special position in the family, she rarely had contact with the Senju Clan. Naturally, the relationship was not close, at most they were known to each other.
"In this case, it depends on your performance next, Izayoi. Although you don't have to be too hasty, you must move quickly."
Hokuto made the final decision and determined the next action, letting Izayoi become the general's side chamber and compete with the Uzumaki Clan.
Fortunately, the other party is not the main wife, and Uzumaki Clan does not have a strong foundation in Land of Night. As long as Izayoi can successfully squeeze in, and with their support, the advantage will undoubtedly belong to Uchiha.
"Got it."
Izayoi nodded and responded.
"Izayoi, do you want me to give you some advice?"
Xia, who was sitting next to her, smiled and asked.
"No, just go about your business. I can handle this little thing myself."
Izayoi patted his chest and assured, his tone full of confidence.
After all, she is now a love master who has read hundreds of strategy and secret books.
