Nightview City, Inner Court of the General's Residence.
Viewed from above, the shape of the Inner Court building is close to a straight square, and the various courtyards, training grounds, hot spring baths, kitchens and other facilities built in it are deliberately cut into standard squares and arranged in an orderly manner.
Not far from the main courtyard, there is a courtyard with a style close to that of a shrine. The buildings inside are also built according to the shrine, with various shrines and spacious and bright corridors, which are comparable to the atrium of a square.
Although the scale is not as large as that of the Uzumaki Clan's Uzumaki Shrine, it is much larger than ordinary small shrines.
However, for a residence with only three people, a shrine of this size seems too empty.
The only good thing is that Inner Court has many 'guards' on call.
Although these 'guards' cannot be called human beings, they have no emotions, let alone communicate with others. They are a group of humanoids Puppet Samurai made of wood and steel.
But the fact that the machine obeys orders perfectly makes it impossible for those who use it to find any faults beyond this.
You won't cry tired, you don't need to eat, you don't need to rest, and you won't be afraid or hesitant when encountering danger. You will be on call 24 hours a day to protect the safety of people in the shrine yard around the clock.
If Chakra is replenished regularly, it can be used until the puppet is damaged. As long as it is properly maintained, the service life of Puppet Samurai in these years can reach more than ten years.
Even if it reaches the end of its life, many of its parts still have shells that can be recycled and reused.
It's a very magical thing, and only in General's Residence can you see such a strange scene.
After all, Puppeteer, as a branch of ninja, was not born as a combat profession from the beginning. Before Yayoi, most Puppeteer obtained necessary survival materials by controlling puppets and performing stories.
'This makes my protection work seem to have suddenly lost its meaning...'
As the maid and bodyguard of Hisana, Hazel has been in Inner Court for almost half a month, and has quickly adapted to the life here that is different from the outside world through her excellent ninja qualities.
Leisurely, undisciplined, calm and free.
It can be said that the biggest rule of Inner Court is that there are no rules.
It was completely opposite to the strict and cold atmosphere she had imagined at the beginning, where everyone acted cautiously and cautiously according to their status level.
The biggest shortcoming is that it is a bit impersonal. It is a place where thousands of people can live without crowding, but only about ten people live here.
Not only are a large number of daily chores replaced by puppets, but even important guard and patrol work are completed by puppet soldiers.
This leaves me with nothing to do most of the day.
Apart from training on time every day at the open-air dojo in the shrine, I have nothing to do but hide in the dark to protect the safety of Hisana.
It's said to be protection... but actually it's more like secretly observing the other person's living conditions.
At this time, it is twelve o'clock in the evening.
In the bedroom of the back hall of the shrine, Hagi, as usual, clasped his hands on his chest, leaned his back against the beam, and hid in the shadow corner of the room to protect Hisana.
But the overwhelming sound that kept coming from below made her mouth feel dry and her breathing became rapid.
The pair of clear eyes under the mask stared blankly upward, as if this way he could distract himself and not be affected by the unpleasant sounds below.
'Ninja, no matter what happens, you should stay calm and face it with a normal heart, and it's not a big deal...'
That's right, no big deal.
The 'battlefield' below is also a battlefield, and you must concentrate on dealing with it with all your strength.
As for plugging her ears, it was impossible. Because of such hard physical work, Hisana would occasionally ask her to go down and give her a glass of water to avoid dehydration...
On the tatami below, as Yayoi let go of his hands, Hisana, whose back was turned to him, fell forward and fell heavily into the soft and comfortable snow-white bedding. For a moment, it was unclear whether the bedding was whiter or her skin was whiter.
The shrine maiden's costume is half exposed, her long red hair is spread out, and her white back can be vaguely seen between the red hair.
Hazy sighed, but still fulfilled his duty, using Body Flicker Technique to dodge below and bring him a cup of herbal tea that had been prepared.
After replenishing water, Hisana is like a clinging little goblin, hugging Yayoi tightly, trying to open up a second battlefield.
"That's it for today. Hisana You probably don't have any strength anymore."
Yayoi pushed away Hisana's restless little mouth.
Originally, I came over today to talk about some serious business, but when I came over in the evening, the other party was like an octopus clinging to me, not giving him any time to talk at all.
"That's not the case. I still have plenty of energy. My husband, are you tired? Why don't I let you push it for you?"
Hisana's brain was in a daze, and he began to speak without thinking. He just wanted to eat up the man in front of him.
Returning to Hazy on the rafter, his face under the mask was also numb. Does he still have my share?
Yayoi What else can you say? Woman, you succeeded in irritating me!
Let you see, who is the master of this Land of Night!
After a long time, after the war.
Yayoi hugged Hisana's silky snowy shoulders, with no distracting thoughts in his mind. He was just thinking about the ultimate problems that have never been solved by humans.
Why does the world exist?
What is the meaning of the birth of life?
Will the universe eventually die?
"Hisana."
"Um... what's wrong, sir?"
"In the future, eat more vegetables and less meat. You will have unbalanced nutrition."
"Meat wrapped in vegetables is also good."
Hisana, a self-taught person, commented.
"Sir, the Sealing Jutsu class is over tonight. Do you want to take the Sensory Ninjutsu class next?"
"... You'll learn more later, you can't bite off more than you can chew. Compared to this, what are you going to do in building a laboratory?"
Yayoi Finally got a chance to talk about business.
This little wife is so clingy, and her attitude towards learning and progress is no less than that of Kicho.
Her mechanism is not as good as Kicho, but her numerical value is too high, so I found the secret to clear the level in a different way.
"Laboratory? That one, it was built for Nene-chan."
Hisana reacted to what Yayoi was saying.
"Nene... is that the white-haired child?"
Yayoi recalled it and knew who Hisana was talking about.
It's the girl in a miko uniform who is shorter than Hisana, has white hair and red eyes, and looks younger than Hisana.
Because the red hair was different from the Uzumaki Clan, he was deeply impressed.
"Child... husband, you don't know, right? Nene-chan is already in her twenties."
Hisana couldn't help but smile and told Nene's true age.
Yayoi After listening, I became a little interested.
He doesn't look like he's in his twenties, it's not an exaggeration to say he's fifteen or sixteen.
The most important thing is that the other party's appearance and temperament have a girlish feeling that comes out naturally. Instead of maintaining a girlish body, it shows the mature atmosphere after the passage of time.
There is a clear gap between the two.
Is it some kind of Ninjutsu? Or is it caused by drugs?
"Speaking of which, you spent so much money, sir, you won't blame me, will you?"
Hisana is a little uneasy.
After all, the laboratory specifications required by Nene are a bit exaggerated. A small piece of equipment costs several million taels, and it is also equipped with a latest super-large computer. The price...
Hisana didn't count carefully, but the numbers made her dizzy. How many meat buns and roast chickens could she buy with this?
Although it is true that women should be harsher on themselves, Hisana felt that Nene was too harsh.
Hisana is a little worried about whether Yayoi's treasury can hold on, after all, there is also her food money in it!
"I don't care about the money, as long as you don't mess with dangerous things."
Yayoi has seen the laboratory specifications applied by Hisana and the required capital injection. The investment is a bit excessive for private use, but it is not to the extent that Yayoi needs to pay attention to it.
If this were not the case, Irori would not approve it quickly, but would wait for him to come back to discuss and decide together.
"However, necessary review is still needed. I will go talk to her later to find out her specific level."
Although money and resources are not a problem, Yayoi doesn't like anyone taking advantage of him.
If he uses that money to eat, drink and have fun, as his own woman, he will use it as long as it is used to promote the country's economy. Anyway, the money will still be his in the end.
But if you make money illegally in the name of research and eat away your wealth like a moth... this kind of problem is much more serious than just eating, drinking and having fun.
An incident like this happened before. Yayoi was very sensitive to this kind of thing. As for the people involved at that time... naturally, they were all thrown into a bitter cold place and worked as miners to be rehabilitated by labor.
"Hmm."
Hisana nodded. She didn't understand these things. It would be better if Nene and Yayoi could communicate together.
After all, my life is getting better, and I can't forget my former sisters.
Sharing blessings together and eating meat together are good sisters!
"Then learn Sensory Ninjutsu..."
Hisana was ready to make a move, while Yayoi looked blank and still maintained the sage mode.
Are you still learning Sensory Ninjutsu? If you continue like this, you will be harmed by Sensory Ninjutsu sooner or later!
"No need, I still have the Sealing Jutsu on me."
"Then shall I unlock your husband's seal?"
Yayoi: "..."
"Speaking of which, my lord, do you know how to use the miko's foot bags?"
Yayoi: "..."
It's broken, the numerical monster is starting to learn the mechanism.
◎
noon.
Hisana After getting enough sleep, he got up under the care of Yu, and put on a miko costume suitable for daily activities.
After lunch, Hisana rarely took a lazy nap, but took the map of Inner Court and walked towards Inner Court's various Barrier nodes.
According to the requirements of Yayoi, she needs to check Barrier Jutsu that maintains Inner Court to see if there are any gaps or areas that need to be completed.
As a bodyguard, Hao naturally followed behind.
Looking at the pure and flawless figure of the other party, they are completely different from the clinging little goblin who looked like an octopus last night.
I couldn't understand it, but it was very shocking.
Obviously more than half a month ago, Hisana was still an innocent little girl who didn't understand anything.
Ever since her wedding, she had suddenly turned on some incredible switch, and her speed in absorbing new knowledge could be described as rapid.
Hisana naturally doesn't understand what's going on in her heart. She is currently observing the Barrier that surrounds Inner Court, as well as the various nodes that maintain the operation of Barrier Jutsu.
In the end, she came to an unpretentious conclusion. Barrier Jutsu itself was not a low level, but it was not high either. It was a medium level Barrier Jutsu.
The biggest problem is that the Barrier Jutsu system is fragmented and looks like a whole. In fact, it is the same as the Sealing Jutsu of Yayoi. It is a composite Barrier pieced together piece by piece.
But the effect of Barrier Jutsu covering here is very strong. The reason is that there are a large number of Chakra accumulated energy, which forcibly increases the intensity of Barrier Jutsu.
"This needs to be rectified..."
Hisana marks all Barrier nodes that need to be adjusted, and attaches a detailed modification plan.
While saving the amount of Chakra, it can also greatly increase the power of Barrier Jutsu and enhance the isolation effect on Byakugan and Sensory Ninjutsu.
"Hisana-sama."
When Hisana carefully attached the modified plan of Barrier Jutsu, Hao couldn't help but export it.
"What's the matter?"
Hisana looked back.
"Is this good? The plan you filled in involves the advanced Barrier Jutsu principles of our family. Moreover, you also taught a lot of Sealing Jutsu basics that cannot be passed on to others..."
If it is a formative technique, if it is taught, it will not fluctuate so much.
Because the forming technique is leaked, the loss to the Uzumaki Clan will not be that big.
But the principle knowledge is different. The most important part of all techniques is these.
As long as you master these things, it is equivalent to poaching the foundation of the Uzumaki Clan.
"You are too serious, Hazy. The real core techniques of the Uzumaki Clan need to be matched with the Uzumaki Clan's physique in order to be successfully performed. These things are allowed to be taught by the elders."
"But, it's only been more than half a month since you got married. Isn't this too fast..."
"Although I haven't known my husband for a long time, I trust him. Moreover, please don't say such things in front of others in the future. I'm afraid that your husband will misunderstand you."
Hazy: "..."
It's over, Master Hisana has completely transformed into the shape of General...
