- That too, but there's too little of the special ink left, so it's already after the base is established," he nodded to him in agreement, "the ingredients to create them won't be available until a month and a half to two months from now.
Unfortunately, to make the seals, which only appear when activated and remain hidden the rest of the time, you need to add a lot of rare and valuable things to the ink, like the bones of an interesting fish with the ability to absorb chakra or metal mined in the farthest part of Kaminari no Kuni.
All of these things cost a lot of money, which is a shame, but it doesn't matter to me, except that the speed of delivery of the ingredients is very slow, even if you use ships rather than land.
- If you say so, I'm not going to get into a fight as soon as I enter the world," Ningyo shrugged.
- I hope so, by the way, how about picking a name for you? - I remembered that Kaguya was still nameless except for the clan name.
- I've already thought about it, and I've even picked a name, Hisato," he said, "It's not Ryo, but it sounds good.
- Hisato, so Hisato," I shrugged, leaving the choice entirely up to him; after all, the man would have to live with it, and I had other things to worry about.
I sighed and started to pack - it was getting close to evening, and I needed to get home before they came to call me for dinner. It seemed like I had only recently gotten down to business and the day flew by almost instantly. I stacked the sheets in order and sealed them in a scroll, and waved goodbye to the clones and headed for the room with the teleportation fuin.
- Boss, are we going to exchange chakra? - I was stopped by a question from Kanpeki Ningyo. - I had recently practiced some very good moves and improved my taijutsu using kekkei genkai.
- Why not?
I'm more focused on ninjutsu, fuinjutsu, and kenjutsu, so this kind of experience will come in handy, because in my training with Pakura, it was only the best physical attributes that kept me on equal footing.
Shaking Hisato's outstretched hand, I mixed chakra with it, gaining new memories and discarding the useless ones when an unexpected thought came into my head, making me stretch my lips into a smile.
- Haha, if you look at it that way, then we are indeed the spiritual heirs of the Way of Ninshu the Sage of the Six Paths," Kaguya realized almost immediately, "albeit in such an unusual way, and as soon as the number of kanpeki ningyo is six, we'll be imitators too!
- I shook my head.
As the days passed, I worked on improving the seal complex created by the clone researchers, after some deliberation, I named it Seishi no Ibuki (Breath of Youth), short and to the point, fulfilled the village's official order for artifacts for Sunagakure, trained my children and the occasional student, maintained the seal business, and paid attention to my women.
No politics or missions that grew into localized conflict. A quiet time that one especially begins to appreciate when the threat of an imminent general war of elemental nations looms ahead.
