"Don't worry, your hands and feet were not synchronized just now, and there was no grain of rice in the corner of your mouth."

In the car, before Hisana could ask, Nene spoke to calm her inner uneasiness.

Hisana immediately patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Nene strangely:

"Nene-chan, how did you know?"

"The cheeks are wrinkled and the eyes are rolling. Whatever you are thinking in your mind is already reflected on your face."

Nene spoke expressionlessly and his tone was flat, but he showed good observation skills.

Hisana's face turned slightly red. Is it that obvious?

Just as he was talking, Hisana felt the entire car shake slightly, and then quickly returned to normal.

"This stupid thing is really moving."

Hisana let out a low exclamation.

Although it was very slight, she could feel the giant machine vehicle moving forward and rolling.

It's just that the sound of the rollers running outside cannot be transmitted to the inside at all. Likewise, the sound from the inside cannot be transmitted to the outside, forming a different space that is isolated from the inside and outside.

This secret space, isolated from all outside eyes, allowed Hisana's tense heartstrings to slowly relax.

Surprisingly, I found this bulky 'big monster' to be quite good.

"Although it looks like a vehicle frame, it is actually some kind of special puppet. It may be used as a weapon when necessary."

Although the main directions of attack were different, with the attitude of a researcher, Nene noticed for the first time that this car was not simple.

She curiously walked back and forth in the car space and found that many places had traces of mechanical modifications.

"Is this the structural principle here?"

She squatted in a corner and took apart the casing with her bare hands, revealing the mechanical steel gear components inside.

Some of these steel gears were operating, and some were stationary, clearly connected to the rest. She nodded immediately and roughly understood the purpose of these gears.

Then, she restored the broken shell and it became exactly the same as before.

At first, she just wanted to follow Hisana to get some research funds, but now her thoughts have changed.

'Land of Night's General Puppeteer, that guy should also be a researcher.'

Nene is so sure in his heart.

After all, this car is not a product that can be copied simply by imitating technology.

It looks like a bulky lump of wood, but the technical content is very high. Without in-depth research, what we ended up with was just an empty shell with the same appearance.

It all shows that General Puppeteer is a top technician and cannot be viewed through the eyes of traditional ninjas.

This magical resonance coming from the depths of her soul made her calm heart become a little uneasy.

After understanding the contents of the car, Nene sat back in his seat, and the corner of his eye fell on the maid on the other side of Hisana.

Wearing a miko costume like her, with bright red hair, and a red and white Prajna mask on her face, the bright red pupils are particularly eye-catching in the eye holes of the mask.

'I've never seen this guy before, is she also a witch from Uzumaki Shrine?'

Nene was thinking about the origin and identity of the other party.

Although she is often absent, the identities of all the people in Uzumaki Shrine should be remembered.

Among all the people at the shrine, there is no such person in front of him, and neither his figure nor temperament match him.

"Hello, Nene-senpai, I am Hazy."

The red-haired masked witch saw Nene glance over, raised her head slightly, and whispered her name.

"Senior? Are you also from the shrine?"

Nene frowned.

He nodded and didn't say much.

"The Lord God and Grandpa arranged to come here. Even though she is taller than me, she is actually one year younger than me."

Hisana interrupted.

"I see, my name is Nene."

Nene crossed Hisana and reported his name to Long.

I know that this one is the maid assigned to Hisana by the elders above. As for her... she is just an accessory.

'Maybe she also serves as Hisana's escort. This little girl smells of unwashed blood.'

Maybe Hisana doesn't feel sensitive, but Nene, who often deals with corpses, can smell the cold and bloody smell on the other party's body.

Like those fighting sects Uzumaki Clan, they are ninjas who came out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Nightview City.

Southern District, Uchiha Clan Compound.

After more than a month of repairs and improvements, the originally empty land was no longer empty. Instead, the main frames of a large number of buildings appeared one after another, forming the basic prototype of a prosperous clan land.

The Uchiha clan members headed by Hokuto, in order to complete the new clan land faster, often cooperate with the engineering team here and use the various abilities of ninjas to improve construction efficiency.

I believe it won't be long before this place can become a large-scale family gathering place.

Even Naka Shrine, Hokuto and others who convened the family High-Level Meeting also came out.

There is no way, General has granted too much land.

It can't be used up, they Uchiha Clan can't be used up at all.

Nightview City is a city, but it is more than just a city.

According to the rumors revealed by General's Residence, it seems that next year, the city will need to restart construction and expand outward.

At this time, Hokuto and other Jonin gathered in the newly built Naka Shrine main hall.

Although some parts are still very rudimentary and have not been painted, the main frame has been finalized. If it is improved later, in terms of scale, it will not be inferior to Konoha Uchiha and Naka Shrine, or even exceed it.

"This is the work arranged by General, Ryuka, Haruto, you two will report to Security Forces in half a month."

Hokuto, as the 'tribe leader', sits on the main seat in the main hall of the shrine and distributes the work arrangements conveyed by General's Residence.

Among them are not limited to Security Forces who maintain urban security, patrol troops responsible for border garrison, etc.

In addition, there is also a job of going to a military training school to be responsible for education.

It can be said that these jobs are the backbone of Land of Night's practical departments.

Even the seemingly inconspicuous Security Forces seems to have a different meaning in the eyes of Hokuto.

As far as he knows, the composition of the members who joined Security Forces is very complicated.

There are both Samurai and ninjas. Among them, Aburame Clan, Hoshigaki Clan and other ninja clans also sent some of their clan members to Security Forces to take up positions.

This place is like a platform for each family to show off their abilities. There is no single family that stands out.

Every family needs to participate in it and jointly bear the responsibility of maintaining public security of Nightview City.

"Yes."

Ryuka and another male Uchiha ninja nodded solemnly.

Although I don't know much about the nature of Security Forces, but seeing Hokuto's serious look, I understand that this job is not as simple as it seems.

Next, Hokuto arranged the work of the rest of the people.

Even the youngest Izayoi also got a job.

"That's it for the work assignments. Do you have anything else to do? If not, just adjourn the meeting."

Hokuto took a deep breath and rubbed the swollen forehead.

Now the family is in dire straits, and there are still many things that require him, the leader, to fill in the gaps.

Now he wishes he had forty-eight hours a day so that he could devote himself to work. Many times he is hungry, so he just eats some bread and drinks some water to satisfy himself.

Hokuto As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked at each other, and then one of them spoke:

"Um, patriarch, there is one more thing that needs to be reported. That is the side room of General Xina, who is the woman of the Uzumaki Clan."

Since the clan was officially established, the people below no longer addressed him as 'Lord Beidou', but instead officially determined the title of 'Clan Leader' of Beidou.

"Well, this is what happened. Why, do you have any questions?"

Hokuto couldn't help but wonder what these people were doing when they mentioned this matter.

As the head of a country, isn't it normal to have several side rooms?

Rather, from his point of view, General Yayoi's back house is still too simple.

Not a new one, there has always been one main wife and two side wives... which makes many people wonder if this General has any hidden psychological problems?

For example, there are all kinds of strange rumors about not being a womanizer, but being a womanizer.

"We are just wondering whether the wife from the Uzumaki Clan will cause any obstacles to our side?"

Hearing what the person below said, Hokuto wanted to refute, but then thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense.

Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan are not only in-laws, but also distant relatives.

From a long time ago, the relationship between the two families has been very close.

In the past, when Uchiha and Senju fought, Uzumaki Clan also provided a lot of support, which annoyed many Uchiha ninjas.

"She's just a woman, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Izayoi, on the other hand, had a look of disdain on his face. He didn't think that a woman who was destined to live in a house in the future could cause any trouble.

However, even Ryuka, who has a relatively impulsive personality, did not respond to Izayoi's words at this time and fell into silence.

As someone who has experienced this, he is well aware of the destructive power a woman can cause, especially the 'shrew' in his family.

"Izayoi, that's not the case."

Uchiha Xia, who has a delicate personality, shook her head at Izayoi.

"What do you mean?"

Izayoi became curious and looked like he was listening attentively.

Xia then asked Izayoi:

"Izayoi, have you heard of the Chinoike Clan?"

"Pond of Blood? I have an impression. It seems that they are also from the Kekkei Genkai family that possesses pupil skills. They are from Land of Lightning, right?"

Izayoi frowned and thought, recalling the information about the Chinoike Clan.

Xia nodded.

"Yes, Chinoike Clan is the Kekkei Genkai family of Land of Lightning. The trigger for their decline, do you know what it was?"

"What is it? Did you lose the battle with the other ninjas?"

"It would be great if that was the case." Xia paused, her eyes meaningful, "The reason why Chinoike Clan declined was because of the hostility of Daimyo of the Land of Lightning's wife, which then triggered a series of things, which ultimately led to the Chinoike Clan's death in Land of Lightning was exiled. The ninja who was invited by Land of Lightning to deal with the Chinoike Clan was none other than the leader of our Uchiha Clan. Hokuto clan, who also witnessed this incident."

After Izayoi listened, he subconsciously looked at Hokuto. Hokuto nodded, indicating that things were generally consistent with Xia's description.

The fundamental reason why Chinoike Clan suffered from exile and decline was because of the targeting of Daimyo of the Land of Lightning's wife.

"... How can a woman who lives in a house be so powerful?"

Izayoi took a deep breath and was extremely shocked.

In her impression, the group of women kept by the nobles in their inner houses were no different from the canaries in the cage.

She never expected that a family with Kekkei Genkai would end up in such a miserable end because of a stay-at-home woman. It simply refreshed her outlook on life.

"Izayoi, don't underestimate women, especially those Daimyo women in the inner house. After clinging to powerful men, their energy is very terrifying. And men, as creatures, are often inadvertently seduced by women, so..."

Before Xia finished speaking, the other Uchiha men present all coughed subconsciously.

Sitting cross-legged in a serious manner, they all said that they were gentlemen who would not be fooled by mere beauty.

Izayoi has an enlightenment, indicating that he has learned new knowledge.

In this way, Izayoi also understood why the woman who was born in the Uzumaki Clan and was about to become the general's side chamber would be an unstable threat.

As long as there is a close connection with the Senju Clan, it is a potential danger to the Uchiha Clan.

If the other party blows some pillow air...

This Uzumaki Clan woman is so bad, can't she have a real fight with a real sword?

"It's just that things have reached this point, and there's nothing we can do to stop it."

Izayoi frowned and told the key to the matter.

"Theoretically, this is the case, but there is no other way. We can also choose one from our side and enter the general's inner chamber."

Xia gave her own solution.

The others nodded thoughtfully, indeed, this is a feasible method.

"Xia, you..."

"Although my husband is dead, my child is already five years old."

Xia interrupted directly.

Another Uchiha female ninja also shook her head helplessly.

Her situation is even worse than Xia's. Her husband is living well at home and she has two children.

Afterwards, everyone looked at the last woman present - Izayoi.

"..."

Izayoi pointed at his face, his black eyes widening in disbelief.

Me? Going to compete with others on how to blow pillows?
