Early morning.

In the small courtyard of the villa, Liuli is wearing a moon-white light clothes, a pair of finely made slippers on her feet, and she is holding a watering can in her hand, carefully watering the green plants in the flower pot.

The long black hair of the shawl is naturally straight, and the black eyes are also full of a quiet and peaceful mood, which is not affected by the outside world at all.

The moon-white loose casual clothes she was wearing couldn't hide the fact that her lower abdomen was bulging.

Compared to the first few months of pregnancy, her belly is not very obvious, as time goes by, her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and recently she does feel inexplicably tired and resting in the room for more and more time.

The cultivation has been completely abandoned, and the daily exercise is just an ordinary walk.

She could feel the unborn life in her belly growing stronger.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a beautiful smile.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and the man was Shiraishi.

He came to Liuli's side, looked at the blazing white sun that had just come out of the sky, and had already become hot, and said, "It's so hot, let's go back to the house and rest, it's too hot and it's not good for your health." ”

It's already September, and the glaze delivery period is coming in two or three months, and Shiraishi is afraid that she will have some accident at this moment, causing her to regret it for the rest of her life.

"Got it, go back to the house right away. Don't you have anything to do today? ”

Ruri asked, turning her head.

"Today's day off, because a lot of things can be handled by the people below now, I just need to check the progress on a regular basis. The affairs of the project are also arranged, and there are special people responsible for supervision. ”

"I think they are very enthusiastic about their work, even if they don't need to be supervised, it should be no problem."

"Passion is only temporary, and manpower cannot be saved in this regard. And now that you're pregnant, it's also an important thing for me. ”

From the initial overwhelm and inexplicable excitement, Shiraishi has regained his calm and rational thinking, and is ready to do his duty as a father.

"I don't have to worry about it here."

Being so underestimated by Baishi, Liuli's tone was a little dissatisfied.

Even if she can't fight violently because of the fetus in her womb, with the pupil power of her writing wheel eye, not everyone can get close.

With illusion alone, you can easily put down the upper ninja, which is not a difficult thing for Ruri.

What's more, in order to ensure her safety, the water dragon god did not act with the earth general, but stayed in her cuffs, and once she encountered an enemy that could not be solved by illusion, she could also use her own characteristics to intercept the enemy and wait for support to arrive.

"I can't say that, there are a lot of people who have come to the country of ghosts recently, and there are a lot of people. If you can, I would like to transfer you to the shrine where Maitreya is located to rest and recuperate the fetus. ”

Shiraishi said.

"Is it because of commercial activities?"

Ruri asked.

Since the completion of the road to the country of Oni, it has attracted the attention of many wealthy merchants, and the investment industry here has really enriched the treasury of the country of ghosts.

"It's not a commercial activity, but those businessmen who do ordinary business are quite peaceful. But the merchants who make medicines, and the ninjas in the ninja village, their hands and feet are not very clean. Ninjas, in particular, are always looking for ways to steal the company's drug information. ”

Speaking of this, the white stone hurt.

Since the Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Company became famous, not only the spies of the same peers, but also many ninja villages have also been secretly active, stealing or robbing to get the drug information of the Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Company.

Among them, Yunyin is the most.

Yun Yin often uses the name of diplomatic missions to do some shady stealing and stealing things in private. Because it is a neutral country, and it is a country dominated by witches, Yun Yin will not mess around casually, and can only act in secret.

Of course, in addition to Yunyin, there are also villages such as Sand Hide, and even Konoha has it, not surprisingly, it should be a person from the root of the dark part.

For these foreign envoys who came to the country of ghosts for a friendly visit through legal and regular channels, the officials of the country of ghosts did not want to openly refuse, and everyone tacitly launched their own actions, not wanting to make a big deal about it.

Based on this, Shiraishi can only turn a blind eye to the actions of these people, and it is not good for anyone to make trouble, and he has no ability to turn over the table after all.

Although the secrecy measures of the Oni no Kuni military are very good, these ninja villages should not be underestimated, especially in this era of war, and they must be careful to prevent themselves from being drawn into unnecessary battles.

However, being remembered by these people also proves that the drug research and development capabilities of Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Company can be said to be the first-class level in the ninja world. If it was just an ordinary pharmaceutical company, it would not have such great ability to attract so many commercial spies.

"That's really hard."

Liuli doesn't like intrigues, for her, what can be solved with strength can be directly crushed with dignified power.

Therefore, for planning or something, even though he has a flexible mind and does not want to make any arrangements, it is Shiraishi who handles these trivial matters.

When they were still ninjas in Konoha, they also distributed their work in this way.

"yes, but you can't comfort me right now."

Gently hugged Ruri's body from behind, and pressed her hands lightly on her lower abdomen, revealing a sinister smile.

"Not serious."

Ruri scolded him in a low voice.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, you just need to concentrate on your body now. In the afternoon, I will go to the shrine to raise the baby, where I feel more at ease. ”

Hearing Shiraishi say this, Ruri sighed and had no choice but to nod.

I didn't expect that she would be willing to be protected one day, this is the first time this kind of thing has happened.

Therefore, this feeling is neither good nor bad.

◎

In the afternoon, Shiraishi took Ruri to the shrine where Maitreya was.

In addition to an extremely luxurious palace, there are few guards and maids, probably because Maitreya Witch doesn't like crowded places. Or maybe it's because of the power that the shrine maiden has passed down from generation to generation, so she doesn't want to see the fate of more people when they die, so she deliberately 'imprisons' herself in such a sparsely populated place.

Both respected and feared.

After all, Shiraishi doesn't know how the country of ghosts developed, and the origin of this country may be traced back to the era of the Six Paths Immortals.

But for such a distant matter, there are not many records of relevant things in the official texts of the Ghost Country, and only scattered fragments of information can be obtained.

Placing the glass here, first, it is quiet enough, and second, it is guarded by the shrine maiden herself. Although it is a bit unbelievable, because of the rapid commercial development of the Oni Country, many commercial spies have been mixed in, but the places where these commercial spies have infiltrated have isolated this shrine.

Although he doesn't know the specific reason, Shiraishi knows that the authentic shrine maidens of the Oni no Kuni have incomparably mysterious powers, which are completely different from the ninja system.

Every time he looked at Maitreya Shrine Maiden, Shiraishi felt that what he was looking at was not a flesh-and-blood human, but some other special 'creature'.

There is no smell of 'human' on the body.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll come and see you every few days."

In the side hall, Shiraishi places the glass here, and usually there are shrine maidens who come to serve.

There were also some guards arranged by Shiraishi, including two Uchiha ninjas, as well as one ninja each from the Uzumaki clan and the Hyuga clan.

Two of the Uchiha's ninjas opened the Sangotama Writing Wheel Eye while cultivating natural energy. The strength is more than that of many Shangninas of the same level, not to mention that he also has the Blood Inheritance Limit Writing Wheel Eye.

The other Uzumaki clan and the Hyuga ninjas are in the same situation, developing their own special abilities, sealing, perceiving ninjutsu and white eyes, and also cultivating natural energy.

These four people are undoubtedly the strength of the upper ninja.

Because their identities need to be kept secret, it is impossible for them to see people openly at this time, therefore, they can't get any decent tasks here in Baishi, and their usual work is only cultivation.

Therefore, arranging them to act as guards beside Liuli can be regarded as making the best use of things.

With these four shinobi protecting the glass, Shiraishi is more at ease, this is an arrangement that he made after thinking about it for a long time.

The perceptual ninjutsu that can avoid the Uzumaki clan may not necessarily be able to avoid Hinata's white eyes, and the perceptual ninjutsu that can avoid Hinata's eyes may not necessarily avoid the whirlpool. Therefore, the Uzumaki clan and the Hyuga clan each have one each.

The Uchiha's two upper ninja serve as combat power units, fighting with the three hooks of the tama writing wheel eye. Even if you encounter a special enemy, the Uzumaki Clan's upper shinobi can also be targeted with sealing.

No matter how bad it is, there is still a water dragon god on standby. Even if a 'Five Shadows' level ninja comes to sneak attack, he can delay for a while with his special secret technique and not be defeated immediately.

Illusion, ninjutsu, physical arts, no matter what type of enemy you encounter, there are ways to target.

Only by raising the guard to this level did Shiraishi feel at ease.

Konoha's will to fire - where the leaves fly, fire grows.

This means that the fire will always shine on the village and then allow the new leaves to sprout.

It is full of the ardent expectations of the older generation for the healthy growth of young people.

It is also an inspiration to generations of Konoha ninjas to pass on this will forever.

Although he didn't agree with the empty part of it, Shiraishi couldn't admit that the idea of this sentence was good.

In any case, sooner or later, those who are groping at the forefront of the times will grow old and die, and the hope for the future is still in those children who have not grown up.

Shiraishi, who had lived in Konoha for many years, knew very well that this village was strong and fragile, and could even be called a weak part.

For Shiraishi, it is also an urgent matter related to the growth of underage children.

There are so many children in this world who have suffered so much that they can't be accurately counted in numbers.

Because once you count it, it must be a shocking number.

Therefore, at the previous high-level meeting, Shiraishi proposed a plan to build a 'children's treatment hospital'.

This hospital structure is specially set up for children.

It is a time of war, and the sins caused by the adults are left to bear the burden of the weaker.

And the weaker ones are those young children who have not yet emancipated their minds. They carry the pain of their ancestors, and then when they grow up, they continue to pass on this pain to the next generation, and then continue it continuously.

Hatred, grief, blood, and violence are directly engraved on the hearts of these young children.

It is conceivable what these young children will become when they grow up after being rendered by such a picture for a long time.

Their young minds are under more pressure than physical trauma.

The tragic collapse of the world, the death of human beings killing each other, the hearts of these young children with poor resistance have already suffered an incomparably heavy blow unconsciously.

To put it mildly, if such a thing is not solved, the world in the future will still be dominated by such meaningless things.

Because the young people of the next generation, bathed in the paintings of hell since childhood, can think of destruction, killing, and robbery of all kinds of criminal actions.

It is often harder to build than to destroy.

It's not just businessmen who come to the land of ghosts to make money, but also refugees who smuggle in.

Their country of origin was being eroded by war, and they had to cross the ocean to live in such a secluded but peaceful country.

Not only the country of ghosts, but also other countries that enjoy peace, there is also an influx of refugees.

Children are undoubtedly the most vulnerable of them. It is also the most neglected group.

Under the torrent of the times, their existence is fragile.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 5,000 children who took refuge with their parents in the land of ghosts because of the war are more than 5,000, and more than half of them have serious diseases with traumatic psychological wounds.

If you don't take the time to solve this problem now, the future problems will pile up, and the cost will be tenfold or hundredfold.

Thus, a special hospital for children was born for the first time in the country of ghosts.

It was the first hospital in the ninja world to be opened specifically for children.

Even the Konoha Ninja Village, which has a relatively complete medical system, has not paid attention to this kind of problem, and has not set up a special hospital for the treatment of children's physical and mental injuries.

It's just that this kind of hospital is also more troublesome to implement, not because of insufficient funds and medical facilities, but because of the insufficient number of doctors.

Although a lot of money has been spent in the medical industry, it takes a lot of time to train a qualified medical personnel, not something that can be done in two or three years.

Therefore, at present, only Shion City, the capital of the Oni Country, and some metropolises have children's hospitals, and the rest of the villages and towns and some cities with low populations cannot be directly covered due to the shortage of manpower.

However, to be able to do this, Shiraishi is satisfied for the time being.

It took several years or even longer for Tsunade to implement medical reform in Konoha before he managed to succeed. What he wants to reform is the entire medical market in the country of ghosts, and the impact is even greater than Konoha, and he was able to achieve such results in the early days, thanks to the great help of Ruri's parents.

"Ganno, how is it now?"

Shiraishi asked the medical ninja beside him.

Ganno is an excellent medical ninja in the military of the Oni no Kuni, and a high-ranking cadre in the medical department.

In matters related to the medical department, he is one of Shiraishi's more trusted deputies.

He was about forty years old, looked like Svenwen, wore old glasses, looked at the statistical table in his hand and said: "To be honest, the situation is not optimistic, even if we work day and night, the number of child patients not only does not decrease, but becomes more and more. ”

"Can the medical department still squeeze out manpower?"

"I can't squeeze anyone out for the time being. If the focus is shifted to children's hospitals, the rest of the hospitals will be short of manpower, leading to a fluctuation of morale. ”

Kanno thought about it for a moment, and did not recommend that Shiraishi transfer the staff of the rest of the hospital to the children's hospital.

Although the problem of heart disease in children needs to be solved urgently, the rest of the patients should not be left alone.

Shiraishi understands this truth, so he avoids mentioning this matter.

"The pharmaceutical company has recently developed a new type of sedative drug, which has been in clinical trials and has worked very well, which should relieve the pressure on this side a little."

"Yes, I'll go over and apply for a new drug myself."

Ganno nodded.

After communicating with Kanno, Shiraishi left immediately.

The manpower problem in children's hospitals cannot be solved in a short period of time, and can only be solved step by step.

He also considered whether to continue to work with Konoha again in an official capacity.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was unrealistic.

Konoha is now being watched by many ninja villages, and most of the medical ninjas are rushing to the front line, and there can't be too many medical ninjas left behind in the rear.

Moreover, a group of students were sent to Konoha to learn Konoha's medical technology before, and it has reached saturation, and it is impossible for Konoha to add unnecessary burdens to himself.

"Do you want to work part-time as a medical teacher?"

Shiraishi scratched his hair in frustration.

If he continues to scratch like this, his hair will fall out sooner or later.

"Forget it, let's let the live slugs split into more clones, as long as they survive the past few years, the situation will be much better."

◎

Shiraishi hasn't paid much attention to the war lately.

This part has been submitted to Ayane for his own judgment, and there is nothing from the Ministry of Intelligence that concerns him, so he just needs to stand aside and watch.

In this era, many people have been released from their inner bestiality, and there are very few people who can remain rational and appear vulnerable.

The cumbersome problems at the children's hospital, despite the troubles that plagued Shiraishi, were not without good news.

For example, after more than half a year of hard work, the road problem in the country of ghosts has been basically properly solved, and even in some remote areas, there are smooth roads to walk on, instead of stepping on extremely muddy potholed roads on rainy days.

Even when it rains, it is easy to get around.

There is also the issue of schools, which has also been basically implemented, only some remote villages have not set up school institutions, and the rest of the places where there are populations, no matter how big or small, have built school institutions that are in line with local development according to local conditions.

The rest is to recruit intellectuals with a certain amount of knowledge, let them start teaching in schools according to the textbooks that Shiraishi found someone to edit, and carry out educational reform for the entire Oni no Kuni.

Shiraishi only visits Ruri once a week at the shrine.,The rest of the time is devoted to work.。

Occasionally, Ayane would come back to straighten up her gear and spend a moment with Shiraishi.

Before you know it, the summer and autumn seasons have passed, and the cold and windy winter has arrived.

The production date of the glass is also approaching.

- In the side hall of the shrine.

The four shinobi guarding Ruri were playing cards outside.

The Hinata clan Shinobu covered his eyes with the cards in his hand, and his eyes widened.

Supercilious!

Although the action is very hidden, there is a momentary change in the chakra, how can it be possible to hide the Uzumaki Clan's perceptual ninjutsu that perceives the characteristics of the chakra?

"Hey, you're too despicable to peek at other people's cards with your white eyes!"

The Uzumaki clan's Shangnin said dissatisfied.

"Haha, that, I can't help it. And don't you always turn on perceptual ninjutsu? ”

"I can't penetrate objects to read cards, I can only sense chakra. The reason why it is always on is to prevent strangers from approaching here. ”

The Uzumaki Clan sighed.

"Then I'm also trying to prevent the enemy from approaching."

The Hyuga clan blushed and quibbled.

His words were immediately exchanged for the contemptuous glances of the other three.

At this time, the device hanging on the wall began to 'drip'.

"It seems that Lord Liuli is going to give birth, don't play anymore, do a good job of protection."

The four of them put down the cards in their hands and, as usual, stood in their respective positions to guard the delivery room.

In the delivery room, there are already two female medical ninjas on call, and as guards, they just need to do their job.

Outside the delivery room, there is a layer of rebound enchantment, even if it is space-time ninjutsu, it can't easily break into it when the enchantment is open, but it will be rebounded by the enchantment.

And with the double insurance of white eyes and perceptual ninjutsu, as long as a stranger approaches here, it will be immediately perceived.

Shiraishi came here ten minutes later.

Following Shiraishi came, there were also Ruri's parents, Sosuke Uchiha and Miyoko Uchiha.

Standing outside the delivery room, you can hear the painful snort of Ruri in the delivery room, and although she is trying her best to endure the pain of childbirth, she can't help but let out a cry of pain.

Baishi's heart was up and down, and he didn't know what the situation was inside, Liuli shouted so painfully, it should be okay, right?

Within seconds of sitting in the chair next to him, Shiraishi stood up with a thud, feeling like he had waited for centuries.

Why hasn't it been over for so long?

"Xiao Baishi, it's useless to be anxious, let's calm down and wait. Ruri is a tenacious child, and she will definitely be safe for her mother and child, and the Uchiha's bloodline is not so fragile. ”

Uchiha Miyoko, who is a person who has come over, said.

Sosuke Uchiha also walked up to Shiraishi and patted him on the shoulder, saying nothing, but it was already the best encouragement.

As a man, he naturally understands Shiraishi's complicated feelings that are now a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

Shiraishi finally calmed down a bit.

I don't know how long later, as the screams of pain ended, the sound of 'wah, wow, wow' came from inside the delivery room.

It was the cry of a baby.

The barrier outside the delivery room opened, Shiraishi was the first to come to the door of the delivery room, and the female medical ninja inside was the first to open the door, Shiraishi asked urgently, "How is it?" ”

The female medical ninja smiled at Shiraishi and said, "Lord Shiraishi, please rest assured, there are no accidents. ”

Shiraishi's tense heartstrings relaxed, and he walked in quickly, followed by Sosuke Uchiha and Miyoko Uchiha.

I saw that in the room, Liuli had just calmed down from the pain of childbirth, lying on the delivery bed with a weak breath, panting weakly, looking very tired.

Sweat was dripping down his face, and his hair was sticking to his cheeks.

There was also a female medical ninja standing next to the delivery bed, holding two babies in her arms.

"Congratulations to Lord Shiraishi, they are twins of a boy and a girl, and the children are all healthy."

Placing the two babies in Shiraishi's arms, Shiraishi thanked the female medical ninja and looked down at a male and female baby in his arms.

Prior to this, Shiraishi had used a medical instrument to test the fetus in Ruri's belly, so he was not surprised to give birth to twins.

It's just that after seeing the real child, the mood is still inevitably excited.

“…… Let me take a look at ......"

Ruri said weakly on the delivery bed, and slowly sat up from the bed with the support of Miyoko.

Shiraishi carried the two children to Ruri and asked her to look carefully at the child she gave birth to.

Ruri looked at the twins she gave birth to, a boy and a girl, and a weak smile appeared on her pale face.

"Liuli, you are very weak now, it is better to rest more."

Shiraishi put the two children in Miyoko's hands, and then dragged Ruri's back and asked her to lie down and recuperate.

"Hmm."

The weak one answered, not forcing himself.

After giving birth to two children, Liuli also felt that her body was much weaker.

Although it is not a perception ninja, through the observation just now, Ruri can also feel that the vitality of these two children is extraordinary, and in their bodies, they are born with the characteristics of affinity with natural energy.

Is it because of the immortal chakra and the writing wheel?

As for Baishi's bloodline bonus, it was automatically ignored by Liuli.

"By the way, what are you going to name your two children?"

Miyoko asked this question, feeling a little nervous.

Although these two young people may not care about the question of whose surname the child has, Ruri, as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan of the Oni Country, can't follow the child with the surname Shiraishi so hastily.

Shiraishi is naturally very clear about Miyoko's worries, and he also understands Ruri's identity in the Uchiha clan of the Oni Country, and the important issue of the heir can't come according to his mood, so he pondered for a while, and said to Miyoko: "I discussed this matter with Ruri before, the boy has the surname Ruri, and the girl has my surname." ”

Hearing Shiraishi say this, a big stone fell in Miyoko's heart.

"That's fine, one person, one surname."

Miyoko smiled.

"I don't care, maybe at that time, there will be geniuses from other families in the clan to inherit my position."

Ruri said unceremoniously. Even her own flesh and blood can't change her determination.

The patriarch is not her private property.

This sentence naturally caused Miyoko's dissatisfaction.

"You are too utilitarian as businessmen, always trying to keep the public things for yourself. Because of this, you can't even control the writing wheel eye so far. The Uchiha is synonymous with 'power', the position of patriarch, not the private property of our family. ”

Ruri's words made her parents Uchiha Sosuke and Uchiha Miyoko cough.

They really plan to let Ruri's child inherit the position of the next head of the Uchiha clan in the country of ghosts.

Before he could say anything, Ruri said coldly again: "The capable go up, the mediocre go down, this is the Uchiha's rules." ”

Shiraishi didn't want to intervene in Ruri's housework, but just walked aside and teased the two babies in his arms.

The baby boy was still crying, but the baby girl was quiet, so quiet that it didn't look like a newborn baby.

Shiraishi was a little surprised, and took a serious look at the baby girl.

The arrogant eyes of no one in his eyes, how can he be so similar to Liuli when he was a child?

Shiraishi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
