- Shenesu-san is here and wants to talk about something," the kunoichi informed me.
- You said I have girls' practice and it's better to come back later?
- Yeah, but it's about the promised payment for the fuin for Hyuga," she shrugged, "I figured it was better to let you know right away.
- Hmm, okay, the girls will be looked after by the clones.
After creating and dispelling the kage bunshin and reporting the situation, I returned to the house with my wife. Shenesu was drinking tea and cookies in the living room and chatting about something with his sister.
- Ji-san, what's the emergency? - Nara's head asked after exchanging greetings.
- The messenger from Hyuga had something for you, so I thought I'd drop by in person," the older shinobi smiled, pulling a scroll from his robes pocket.
Taking the usual storage scroll, except with Hyuga's hamon imprint on the binding wax, I looked at my uncle questioningly.
- This?
- I think you'll be pleased," he smiled, winking, "these are Hyuga Hishi's records.
I licked my lips and suppressed the urge to rush down to the basement, crank up my defenses to the max, and dive headfirst into the legacy of an ancient iryonin of the first degree, neglecting all other matters until everything was learned!
Such knowledge is invaluable among shinobi, and even crumbs of this level are exchanged for favors, if at all.
Of course, I don't doubt that the Hyuga didn't keep a complete copy in several copies, or even gave one to me, but it doesn't matter much - for the mere opportunity to obtain such a source of knowledge, any iryonin from Konoha's main hospital wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice an arm and both legs. In fact, any iryonin at all!
- I'm glad I did! - I nodded to Shenesu as soon as I got my emotions under control and put the precious scroll in my pocket.
- That's great," my uncle clapped me on the shoulder, "I hope at least some of this knowledge ends up in the clan library. For the opportunity to upgrade the skills of the rest of our iryonins?
- As soon as I myself will deal with the delivered and check for safety, - without thinking, agreed.
Many ninja like to encrypt their records or deliberately leave out important information, so that even if they fall into the hands of enemies, it would take a long time to get practical use or the result of the technique used was much more modest than the creator.
As far as irijutsu is concerned, this only adds to the huge chance of jeopardizing oneself when trying to put the acquired knowledge into practice. And while an expert of my level might still be able to detect a trick, someone below my degree would not.
Of course, counting on my help, old man Hishi could get rid of such bookmarks and gaps, but who can guarantee it, because the author can't be asked? All the information I receive, I will first check on the kanpeki ningyo and only then will be implemented on myself, and then passed to the clan library.
