After breakfast, Shiraishi asked:

"Why do you have time to come to me?"

He knew that Ayane didn't have much time at her disposal in the Hyuga clan, and when the Shuomao team was still there, she had a lot of free time, but the Shuomao team was disbanded for so long, and she came out only a handful of times during this period.

The last time I came out, it seems to be when I attended Shuo Mao's funeral.

The subsequent exchanges were limited to the covert exchange of information.

"I took a leave of absence today, and it's out of the way."

Ayane laughed.

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

"This kind of thing is fine, our future patriarch is a very good talker. Unlike the controlling elders, he was a very enlightened man. ”

It's rare for Ayane to have such a good opinion of someone from the Hyuga clan.

Hinata Hinata, it's not the first time Shiraishi has heard of this person.

The only designated heir of the Hyuga clan, excellent ninja talent, handsome facial features, before the age of twenty, has become a well-known ninja in the village.

Although his strength is still unknown, as the patriarch heir of the Hyuga clan, his strength must also be outstanding in the upper ninja.

A mediocre person can't become the patriarch of a wealthy ninja clan.

Regardless, ninjas speak on strength most of the time.

Even in the Hyuga clan, with the identity of the heir of the patriarch and the very good ninja talent, such a person becomes the patriarch, but it is more recognized by people.

Just like the Hokage position, at least strength is a must.

Only on the basis of strength can we talk about political capital and vote.

If the strength is not good, the first round will be brushed down.

"Besides, Ruri isn't at home right now. I was afraid that Bai Shijun would be alone at home, so I came to chat with you to relieve my boredom. If Shiraishi-kun annoys me, I'll be able to go back now. As long as it is Shiraishi-kun's orders, I will obey them, please control my body at will. ”

A hard-working and honest look.,I can't feel the emotion of resistance at all.,Say this kind of thing in a quiet and beautiful tone like Yamato Nadeshiko.,The look in your eyes is gentle to the extent that it softens a man's bones.。

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

"Don't worry, you won't be annoyed. But don't disturb my work. ”

"Okay."

Ayane nodded obediently.

'As long as it is Shiraishi-kun's order, I will unconditionally dedicate my body and soul', and it is this potential meaning that she expresses to Shiraishi.

Thinking about it carefully, Shiraishi did have a momentary desire and impulse just now.

Compared to the disgust in the mouth and the upright glass in the heart, Ayane is a real carnivorous animal.

"Then again, I didn't expect you to create a second clone, that guy appeared in a weird way."

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

If it weren't for her strong perception, it would be difficult to find out that she was being targeted.

"You mean the Shadow Dancer? The power I gave her was a shadowy retreat. ”

Like the Earth General, the Shadow Girl also has the name of 'Shadow Dancer', or the same name as the identity code.

Strictly speaking, none of them fall into the category of normal creatures.

Leaving aside the near-immortal Earth Shogun, the Shadow Dancer's abilities are even more difficult to guard against.

Shiraishi created her to protect herself.

Because deciding to abandon cultivation as a way to strengthen oneself means that one 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, the Shadow Dancer is an assassin born to protect himself, as well as a guardian.

Able to manipulate shadows, and store itself in shadows, usually staying in the shadows of Shiraishi's body.

When an enemy approaches them, they will use their shadows to protect them or use them to attack them.

Therefore, her speed, as well as her use of Yin Retreat, are extremely high.

In the future, if it is integrated into the immortal arts, the speed and power of the shadow will be further improved.

"Retreat? Is it like the Nara Clan's shadow mimicry technique? ”

Thinking back to the strange way of the shadow dancer's appearance, this can also be explained.

"It's pretty much the same, but there's a difference."

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

The shadow dancer's shadow technique, which focuses on defense and attack, 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 a completely different existence from a communication tool man like General Tu.

At the time of the creation of the earth general, his skills were not very mature.

That's why compared to the Shadow Dancer, General Tu's life form is so strange and peculiar.

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

At that time, the existing two clones will be further strengthened and improved.

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

Ayane thought about it casually with her brain, and she also knew how terrifying this kind of sinister fighting method was for a flesh-and-blood ninja.

Shiraishi-kun is still as bad as ever.

But it would be nice if these bad eyes were used to dominate her body.

Obviously, she was the first person to be trusted by Shiraishi-kun, and the woman who wrote the wheel eyes really wanted to sink her into the sea.

While drinking herbal tea calmly and quietly, it is as quiet and beautiful as Yamato Nadeshiko.

However, Ayane had a strong unwillingness in her heart.

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

Because the strength of the woman who wrote the wheel is above her, it is also an indisputable fact.

"That's how I fight. They are my doppelgangers, so naturally they have to be counted as part of my strength. After all, unlike you, I don't have that kind of convenient blood inheritance limit, so I can only increase my sense of security in other ways. ”

Shiraishi, who doesn't know what Ayane is thinking, thinks that the above words are something he decided after careful consideration.

Although he is reluctant to admit the difference in strength brought about by his bloodline, he sometimes has to bow to reality.

Most people can't get past the suppressive power of the bloodline, which is why Shiraishi used to fight Ruri and often get deflated.

When I was young, it wasn't obvious, but after I opened the writing wheel, the gap became bigger and bigger, until I couldn't match it.

A ninja who can ignore the oppressive power of his bloodline, Shiraishi thinks he can't do it.

That's why you need the rest to make up for your shortcomings.

Understand your flaws and then look for something to make up for them.

The growth of a person lies in self-knowledge, seeking truth from facts, neither being arrogant nor belittling oneself too much.

Anxiety and jealousy, covetousness and greed are all unnecessary things.

You just need to be ordinary.

"It's weird...... It's morning, but it's so hot? ”

Ayane lifted her neckline and looked very unhappy with today's hot weather.

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

"It's almost August, after all."

"It's a bit hard at this time of year...... Hmm, Shiraishi-kun, is there a bathhouse here? ”

"Are you going to take a shower?"

"Well, do you want to wash with me?"

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

I didn't realize what I was saying at all.

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

"So...... Do you want to take a shower together? After all, it's so hot, isn't it? ”

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

◎

Calm down.

I'm a doctor.

Scientific researchers.

Be sensible and not be dominated by irrational desires.

But if you think about it carefully, the desire for the body of the opposite sex is also a natural reason and pursuit.

In the open-air hot spring pool, Shiraishi leans against the partition, and I don't know when, it is already an established fact that he lies down in the hot spring pool and bathes by himself.

"The water temperature here is very good, and to be honest, I really envy you that you can soak in such a good hot spring every day."

On the other side of the partition, there was Ayane's voice of envy.

“……”

Shiraishi closed his eyes, and he automatically revealed Ayane's words.

There was a slight abnormal noise coming from the partition, which was caused by Ayane leaning up.

"It's so comfortable......"

There was a comfortable murmur of Ayane.

"Shiraishi-kun, what do you think?"

"It's fine."

Shiraishi replied vaguely.

Because I can't help but fantasize about the scene of something floating on the water.

Anyway, let's calm down first.

"Shiraishi-kun."

"What?"

"When you and Ruri take a bath, will you be in the same pool?"

Ayane seemed a little curious about this.

"If I had done that, I would have been burned to death by her fire."

Ayane laughed out loud and said, "Also, in this regard, Ruri may be really shy." But if it were me, I wouldn't mind that......"

This kind of line with a vague invitation meaning, Shiraishi can naturally read it.

Although he knew that Ayane was not in a state of being naked over there, Shiraishi was not as confident in his restraint at the moment as usual.

The atmosphere fell silent.

Until an hour later, the two were leaning against the same partition and did not communicate at all.

"I've washed it, don't stay too long, it's not good for your health to soak for a long time."

Shiraishi stood up from the pool and shouted to Ayane on the other side.

"Got it, Shiraishi-kun went about his own business. I'm already satisfied to be with me for so long. ”

“……”

Shiraishi got out of the pool, put on his clothes, and then went to the lounge, and saw that Ayane still hadn't come out of the women's bathhouse, so he probably wanted to soak for a while.

Shiraishi didn't care, opening the door to the lounge and preparing to return to the lab to work.

"It's really rare to come here early in the morning to take a bath."

Hearing this familiar voice, Shiraishi's body stiffened.

Ruri appeared at the door with a change of clothes, her face was a little sweaty, it was obvious that she had just come back and wanted to come here to take a bath and relieve the fatigue of her body.

"Ruri, Ruri, aren't you going out on a long-term mission? And how to come back at this time? ”

Shiraishi raised his own volume.

Liuli's face showed a look of annoyance:

"Don't say it, the client lied about the mission level, obviously it was a C-level mission, but I found out that this was an A-level mission that was not suitable for novices to participate in, and I beat him up halfway through the mission and let him fend for himself, and then I came back with those three rookie shinobi."

"This—That's it!"

"Why are you talking so loudly?"

Ruri frowned when she heard Shiraishi's voice a little louder than usual.

She has always disliked it, others talk to her in a loud voice, and she thinks it is very noisy.

"Ah, cough cough, my voice has not been very good in the past two days, I'm afraid that my voice is too low and you can't hear it."

Shiraishi moved out of the way, and Ruri walked in, ready to walk towards the women's bathhouse.

"Wait!"

"What else? You're weird today. ”

Ruri turned to look at Shiraishi.

"Uh...... It's nothing, I just haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you a little? Shall we go out for breakfast first? ”

"Bought breakfast on the way back."

Speaking of this, Ruri's eyes narrowed, and she looked inside the women's bathhouse, and then at Shiraishi, who was pretending to be calm, and thought in place.

"Since you've already had breakfast, I'll go first, so I won't bother you to take a bath."

Shiraishi was stared at by Ruri's eyes unnaturally, and he just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Don't leave yet, I'll wash it up quickly, wait here first, I have something to discuss with you later."

As he spoke, without waiting for Shiraishi to refuse, he stepped into the women's bathhouse.

When Shiraishi saw Ruri enter the women's bathhouse so simply and didn't give him the slightest way to live, he knew that Ruri had discovered something.

It's completely over!
