After breakfast, Shiraishi asked:

"Why do you have time to come to my place?"

He knew that Ayane didn't have much free time in the Hyuga clan. When Sakumo's team was still there, she had plenty of free time. However, Sakumo's team had been disbanded for such a long time. During this period, she came out.

The number of times can be counted on one's fingers.

The last time I came out was probably when I attended Sakumo's funeral.

Subsequent exchanges were limited to secret communication of information.

"I asked for leave today, it's okay."

Ayane laughed.

"Is it okay for you to slack off at work like this?"

"This kind of thing is no problem. Our future patriarch is a very talkative person. Unlike those elders who are very controlling, he is a very open-minded person."

Ayane rarely has such a good opinion of the Hyuga clan.

Hinata Hizu, this is not the first time Shiraishi has heard of this person.

The only designated heir to the Hyuga clan, with outstanding ninja talent and handsome facial features, he had already become a well-known Jonin in the village before he was twenty years old.

Although his strength is still unknown, as the heir to the head of the Hyuga clan, his strength must be outstanding among jounin.

A mediocre person cannot become the leader of a wealthy ninja clan.

In any case, ninjas mostly rely on their strength to speak for themselves.

Even among the Hyuga clan, if a person has the status of heir to the clan leader and has very excellent ninja talents, such a person will be more recognized by others when he becomes the clan leader.

Just like the position of Hokage, a minimum level of strength is a must.

Only when we have the strength can we talk about political capital and cast votes.

If your strength is not up to par, you will be eliminated in the first round.

"Besides, Liuli isn't at home now. I was afraid that Mr. Baishi would be alone at home, so I came here to chat with you to relieve your boredom. If Mr. Baishi finds me annoying, I can go back now. As long as it is Mr. Baishi's order,

I will obey it, please control my body as you wish."

He had a hard-working and honest look, with no feeling of resistance at all. He said these words in a calm and beautiful tone like Yamato Nadeshiko, and the look in his eyes was so gentle that it softened the man's bones.

But Baishi believes that there must be another face in her heart.

"Don't worry, I won't find you annoying. But don't disturb my work."

"OK.."

Ayane nodded obediently.

"As long as it is Shiraishi-kun's order, I will unconditionally dedicate myself to my body and soul." It was this underlying meaning that she expressed to Shiraishi.

Thinking back carefully, Shiraishi did have a moment of desire and impulse just now.

Compared to Ruri, who is disgusting in words but upright in heart, Ayane is a real carnivore.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to create a second clone. The way that guy appeared was very strange."

At this time, Ayane thought that when she first arrived, she was easily noticed by the shadow girl, who suddenly appeared silently from the shadow in the crack in the wall.

If she hadn't had a strong sense of perception, it would have been difficult for her to realize that she was being targeted.

"Are you talking about Shadow Dancer? The ability I gave her is Yin Escape."

Like the Earth General, the Shadow Girl also has the name "Shadow Dancer", or it's the same as her identity code.

Strictly speaking, they do not belong to the category of normal creatures.

Leaving aside the nearly immortal Earth General, Shadow Dancer's ability is even more difficult to guard against.

Shiraishi created her to protect his own safety.

Because he decided to abandon the method of cultivation to strengthen himself, it means that he will not focus on frontal combat in the future.

Considering that there will be some attacks that are too late to prevent in the future, shadow dancers are assassins and guardians who were born to protect themselves.

Able to control shadows and store himself in the shadow, he usually stays in the shadow of Shiraishi.

When an enemy approaches you, you will use your shadow to protect yourself, or use your shadow to attack the enemy.

Therefore, her speed and use of Yin Escape are extremely high.

If magic is incorporated into it in the future, the speed and power of the shadow will be further enhanced.

"Yin Escape? Is it like the Nara clan's shadow imitation technique?"

Thinking back to the strange appearance of Shadow Dancer, this can be explained.

"It's almost the same, but there are still differences between the two."

The Nara clan's shadow technique is not very offensive, focusing on strong control and creating attack opportunities for their companions.

The Shadow Dancer's shadow technique focuses on defense and attack. It is a shadow ninjutsu that integrates offense and defense.

After all, this is a clone specially created to protect his own life, and it is completely different from a communication tool like General Tu.

At the time when General Tu was made, his technology was not very mature.

That's why the Earth General's life form is so different and strange compared to Shadow Dancer.

As the creation technology in this area becomes more and more perfect, the clones created in the future will naturally become stronger and stronger.

Until then, let’s further strengthen and improve the two existing clones.

"It's such a dangerous ability, I already feel pity for those enemies."

Ayane thought about it casually and realized how terrifying this sinister fighting method was to a flesh and blood ninja.

Shiraishi-kun is still as evil-minded as ever.

But it would be nice if these bad intentions were used to control her body.

Obviously she was the first person to gain Shiraishi-kun's trust. The woman with Sharingan eyes really wanted to sink her into the sea.

While drinking herbal tea calmly and peacefully, she is as quiet and beautiful as Yamato Nadeshiko.

However, Ayane felt a strong sense of unwillingness in her heart.

This kind of unwillingness is second only to the unwillingness to resist the fate of the caged bird.

Because the Sharingan woman's strength is superior to hers, which is an indisputable fact.

"This is my way of fighting. They are my clones, so naturally they are counted as part of my strength. After all, I am different from you. I don't have that convenient blood inheritance limit, so I can only increase my sense of security through other means.

.”

Shiraishi, who didn't know what Ayane was thinking, thought that the above words were what he had decided after careful consideration.

Although he is unwilling to admit the difference in strength caused by his bloodline, sometimes he has to bow to reality.

Most people can't overcome the oppressive power brought by their bloodline, which is why Shiraishi often suffered defeat when fighting with Liuli in the past.

It wasn't obvious when I was young, but after turning on the Sharingan, the gap became bigger and bigger until it was no longer comparable.

Shiraishi thought he could not do this as a ninja who could ignore the oppressive power of blood.

That's why you need other things to make up for your shortcomings.

Understand your own shortcomings and then look for things to make up for them.

Human growth lies in self-knowledge, seeking truth from facts, and neither being arrogant nor belittling oneself too much.

Anxiety and jealousy, covetousness and greed are unnecessary things.

You just need to be ordinary.

"It's really strange...it's obviously morning, but the weather is so hot?"

Ayane lifted her collar, looking extremely dissatisfied with today's hot weather.

Although the environment here is quiet, the weather in Konoha in July is really unbearable.

"It's almost August after all."

"This time of year is a bit difficult... Well, Shiraishi-kun, is there a bathhouse here?"

"Do you want to take a shower?"

"Well, do you want to take a shower with me?"

This sentence came out of Ayane's mouth very naturally, and a simple and harmless smile appeared on her face.

He had no idea what he meant by what he just said.

The room suddenly became so silent that it was hard to breathe.

"So... do you want to take a bath together? After all, the weather is so hot, isn't it?"

Breaking the silence, Ayane smiled and extended her invitation again.
