- Boss, you've got a visitor," the clone who'd been left downstairs at the counter peeked into the room while I was replenishing my depleted stock of seals. Sensing the imminent changes in Konoha and the slightly rising tensions with Kumo and Iwa on the borders, the village's military contingent had begun stocking up on seals in advance, increasing their daily sales by quite a bit.
- Again? I'm busy for everyone, let them discuss business with you! - He waved away irritably, continuing to carefully draw symbols on the paper with a brush.
This wasn't the first visitor who wanted to order a fuin cloth, despite the high price and the sign hanging downstairs saying that orders had been temporarily discontinued.
- 'Boss, it's Hisashi-san, the one you scheduled for Thursday,' the kage bunshin informed, rolling his eyes perceptibly.
- Then let him pass through and wait until I'm done," he said angrily, remembering the promise he'd made.
- He disappeared out the door, and half a minute later, the aforementioned Hyuga came upstairs.
And - good for him - without a sound, he sat down in a chair at the side, not interfering with his work. Putting him out of my mind, I finished drawing the complex fuin intended for use in permanent camps, and pressing my palm into the center of the large sheet of paper, I began pumping chakra into it, making the ink glow.
The large sheet of paper spread out on the table was eating chakra like crazy, but after five minutes and three reserves of the average jonin, it glowed with light and went out, splitting into many identical palm-sized seals without any special effects, except for the square in the center.
Now it was enough to place the first ones on the walls built by Doton and the temporary camp would have a good defense for marching conditions, at the same time with the ability to detect the enemy who entered the territory and all this would be controlled from the central seal. It is not stationary in capabilities, but the price is much less.
These sets of seals are popular with Anbu and established shinobi teams. With a short pulse of chakra to check the success of the creation, I gathered the stack of paper and packed it in a long-prepared box with the appropriate size and designation, only then turning my attention to the guest.
- I apologize for the wait, Hizashi-san," I bowed slightly to him sitting down.
- Not at all, Ryo-san," the dojutsu wielder bowed back and stood up, unlike me, "it's still very informative to watch a seal master at work.
- I'm a long way from a master," I shook my head, "but you didn't come here to argue about it, so I'm listening carefully.
- Ryo-san, do you know anything about Hyuga Soke no Juinjutsu (the cursed seal technique of the main branch of the Hyuga clan)," he tapped his forehead with a closed hitai-te.
