With a sigh, I raised my free hand and the golden chains that shot out flashed through the air, swatting the couple that had jumped at us. With a single movement, they flew off towards the range with a satisfied squeal, and immediately a kage bunshin created by the kage appeared at the intended spot of the fall and gently caught both of them in his arms.
- If you want a workout, you'll get a workout! - I heard his voice.
- Yes!" was his friendly reply.
Rolling my eyes at the enthusiasm of the little one, whose dream at some point was to surpass and defeat her father, and her friend was happy to take up such an endeavor, I continued as if nothing had happened:
- In our family the decisive word on significant issues remains with me and if you realize that I may not approve of some decision Shenesu-ji-san, it is better to still clarify my opinion and only then already begin to act.
Situations are different, and it's better to be safe, even though Ma and Linley are around to supervise if necessary.
- Okay, Ryo-kun, my wife nodded obediently.
- By the way, I hope you realize that no one will let you go to war? - I glanced at Hitomi's still flat tummy. - And soon you won't be in a position to think about it.
The clan head had already hinted several times that it was time to get an heir with a Byakugan as soon as possible, and I agreed with him on that point.
Until the Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse) was fully integrated, transforming all remaining bones of the native skeleton, I didn't plan to put my women at risk without careful testing - an incorrectly and ill-timed activated kekkei genkai could easily kill a mother with an unborn child.
But, I'm smart and prudent, so the jars with genetic material were obtained in advance and prepared for long-term storage before the experiment and Hitomi will have a normal child, without any abnormalities.
Akira was also concerned about getting heirs and requested a small part of the stock for himself, not wanting to raise a descendant of the past owner of the body. Naturally, I didn't object, because kanpeki ningyo can deal with all possible problems on his own, being iryonin is not one of the last, and backup options never hurt.
Moreover, the capital of Ho no Kuni is by definition safer than a mercenary village, no matter how well protected it is.
- It's my responsibility," the girl nodded calmly, "and I'm not eager to get involved in the war.
It's probably because almost all of my family died in the last one, but that's a good thing, so I'll just have to figure out how to use the Seishi no Ibuki (Breath of Youth) seal when the embryo is mature enough to be able to track the eye mutations that accompany the Byakugan. The dojutsu and the full power of Uzumaki's chakra is a great foundation for a future child.
