Chapter Twenty-Five: The White Rock Family
Konoha 51 years, early September.
The situation in the ninja world has basically stabilized, and the five major powers have avoided talking about war, and have instead entered an era of peace with frequent economic exchanges.
The country of ghosts, which has completed the accumulation of capital, technology and talents, has initially gained the confidence to compete with any of the five major powers in Shiraishi's view.
But that's just the beginning.
Although the military of the five major countries has declined compared to its heyday due to the problem of war, especially the Konoha Ninja Village, the number of Konoha ninjas recorded today is only about 10,000 ninjas.
Compared to the Konoha Ninja Village in its heyday, its strength has dropped by nearly one-third.
Even so, the Konoha Ninja Village, which has 10,000 ninjas, is still preserved, which shows how deep the heritage of the five great powers is.
In contrast, the Oni Country's capture of the Star Ninja Village, which only had a few hundred low-quality ninjas, was completely impossible to talk about.
Therefore, the more times like this, the more Shiraishi knows that the more he has to calm down, and he can't show his feet too quickly.
"Shiraishi-kun, I'm back."
Hearing this familiar voice that he hadn't seen for a long time, Shiraishi knew who was back.
Thinking about it carefully, it has been three or four months since she was arranged to go to the country of bears, and during this time, she also went to the country of fire, and Ayane is probably a little tired of staying outside.
So after Thunder Ming Maru handed over the task in the past, Ayane couldn't wait to rush back to the country of ghosts, which was also expected by Shiraishi.
It's just that as soon as she came back, she secretly hugged her from behind, and pressed the back of her head with that pair of plumpness, which still had a little headache.
But speaking of which, he does miss Ayane's broad and soft fraternal mind a little.
"This is the office, let's pay attention to the impact a little."
Although he has more free time, it is impossible to spend all his time in the laboratory, but he has more time to devote to research than before.
Under normal circumstances, Shiraishi still likes to stay in the office, quietly sipping tea alone, and looking for comfort after being busy.
After all, the matter of the Yang clone, because of the deal with Nagato, the Yin and Yang escape is no longer a secret, and he has plenty of time to perfect the last clone in the planning stage.
The breadth and profundity of Yin and Yang have been realized by Shiraishi.
It's as big and deep as Ayane's boobs.
"Oh, I thought Shiraishi-kun was going to knock me down like a wolf in an instant."
Ayane squinted and smiled, looking happy too.
"It's all said this is the office."
"I've been here before."
“…… That was before. ”
"In other words, doesn't Shiraishi-kun need to use my body to release stress now?"
Shiraishi didn't respond to this question, whether she needed to release the pressure, and let her understand thoroughly when she went back at night.
"How's the handover of the Star Ninja Village? No problem, right? ”
"Well, there won't be any problems with Thunder Pills there. But that kid seems to be a little different from the past. ”
For the immature boy who wants to be the shadow behind Shiraishi, Ayane has paid attention to it.
After all, it's a ninja with a blood limit, and it's hard not to pay attention to it.
Every Blood Inheritance Limit Ninja is a huge potential stock, and the attention of ordinary ninjas is naturally different.
"That kid was really too serious in some way."
"Yes, for example, if you want the shadow behind Shiraishi-kun, I remember that the shadow dancers were jealous of this in the past."
Ayane laughed secretly.
Shiraishi was dumbfounded, this incident did happen.
The Shadow Dancer doesn't like the Red Shadow who competes with him for the status of 'Shadow'.
thinks that the shadow behind Baishi, she is enough.
"The high-level members of the Star Ninja Village, led by the three generations of Star Shadows, are basically tamed. However, I didn't fully trust them, and when I used them, I monitored them, and they all knew their situation, so for now, both sides are fine. ”
After teasing, Ayane let go of Shiraishi from behind and got down to business.
"That's fine, as long as they loosen a hole and store them next, it won't be a problem."
"Yes, no matter how much you pay attention to it, it's just a small village."
Ayane's words are not derogatory, but in the ninja world, this is the truest portrayal.
The object of funding behind the Star Ninja Village is a small country, and if there is no special opportunity such as the country of ghosts, this is the limit.
Even if he has a secret technique that is extremely rare in the ninja world, he can't reverse this fact.
And if you want to talk about secret arts, the ninja villages of the five major countries, all kinds of secret techniques emerge in endlessly, and they can even study the blood inheritance limit on their own, and from the level of reserve talents and technology, they have crushed the small country ninja villages.
Although the peacock magic method is rare, it is not unrivaled.
There are not many air means of the five major countries, the shadow ninjutsu of the Konoha Nara clan, the three generations of earth shadows of Iwakuin can let others fly together through their own chakra, and the rest of the cloud hide, sand hide, and fog hide more or less have their own unique air means.
In the past, the Wind Feather Girl had suffered at the hands of the ninjas of the Konoha Nara clan.
"Next, you can stay here in the Ghost Country, there is no mission for you to go out for the time being."
"Well, that's exactly what I wanted. Then again, Aya shouldn't be fine at home, right? ”
Ayane's gaze swept in.
Shiraishi's body stiffened for a moment, and then his face returned to its naturalness.
"What's the matter? Asuka is still very competent as a brother. ”
"I mean Kazuhime...... However, she seems to have been sent to Konoha, right? What the hell do you and Ruri think? ”
Ayane asked a little curiously.
She also found out about Kazuhime being sent to Konoha not long ago, and now that she thinks about it, it's really a bit incredible.
"This is Yiji's own thoughts, and as parents, we can only follow her own wishes."
"Genius thoughts? I just hope that I won't be led astray by Konoha's empty will of fire, and if so, I really want to see the woman's expression. ”
Ayane had an extremely dangerous smile on her face.
If there is one of the three of them who hates and despises Konoha's will to fire the most, this person is undoubtedly Ayane.
Because Ayane, who was a member of the Hyuga clan in the past, didn't enjoy any benefits from the Will of Fire.
On the contrary, being in the Hyuga clan means that it is a dark corner that the Will of Fire can't show.
He was a member of the village, but he was abandoned by the collective of Konoha Village.
For Ayane, there is nothing more hypocritical than the Will of Fire.
Therefore, she can't understand Ruri and Shiraishi's behavior, and if it were her own child, even if it was her own will, she would do her best to stop it.
"Don't be so sinister, okay? No matter how empty the Will of Fire is, it is still recognized by history, even if it has many shortcomings......"
But after all, it is the persistence of many people to live.
In this ninja world, where productivity is completely deviated from the norm, it is an incomparably happy thing to have your own beliefs, carry them out, and have the courage to build a strong life.
"Yes, I finally know why Shiraishi-kun always says that ideological education is more important than ninja education. But be careful not to let her absorb anything strange. ”
Even though Kazuhime isn't her own child, Ayane feels that she should be on guard.
"Don't worry, I'll have someone take care of it over there, and Ichihime is not an ignorant child."
It's a bit strange that mature discernment can appear in a seven-year-old child, but Shiraishi believes that Kazuhime is not the kind of person who is easily distorted by others.
From this point of view, Ichihime and Ruri are very similar, and both have serious self-personalities.
"It's a bit of a coincidence, the head teacher of the class Ichihime is now is Mr. Fujimura."
Shiraishi remembered something interesting and shared it with Ayane.
"Fujimura-sensei? Is that the teacher who was evaluated by Ruri as 'just a little ninja'? I thought about it, but I didn't expect him to teach at a ninja school. When I think about it, I feel a little sorry for him. ”
Hearing Ayane's tone of pity, Shiraishi nodded in agreement.
When they were in school, Nakashinobu Fujimura-sensei was not less despised by Ruri.
Now I have to revisit the contempt of the juvenile version of 'Liuli', I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky.
"Alright, I'll go home first, and I'll wait for you to come back in the evening, Shiraishi-kun. It's time for me to get my rations for the next few months. ”
Before leaving, Ayane threw a flying kiss on her face rather ambiguously, and then disappeared into Shiraishi's office.
"It's so troublesome......"
Shiraishi knew that women of this age had very strong physiological needs, and Ayane, who was separated by a few months, naturally couldn't spare him tonight.
So at this time, you should be glad that Liuli is not at home tonight.
◎
Pushing off his evening work in the lab, Shiraishi headed home.
It can't be said that you want to push away your work, but that relaxing after work is also a manifestation of life.
Although this will make you seem to have a lazy attitude towards life, you have no choice in the past, you can only struggle desperately.
Therefore, in addition to being appropriate, enjoying the quality of life makes it seem that he is already a successful person, rather than a small person struggling at the bottom.
Moreover, in the cold and pale laboratory, where is the warmth of Ayane's loving heart?
As long as you work harder tomorrow, you can be forgiven for the occasional day of laziness.
A life that is not lazy cannot be called a correct life.
With this in mind, Shiraishi returned home slightly earlier than usual.
"I'm back."
Shiraishi stood at the door of the entrance and spoke to the room.
Soon someone came up to meet him.
It's Ayane.
The fragrance of jasmine came from the clothes and hair, probably because of the fresh bath, and the body retained these refreshing aromas.
With pure white pupils, slightly hooked corners of the mouth, and delicate and pure silhouettes, she looks beautiful in a well-cut pure white printed kimono.
"Shiraishi-kun, you're back, then, do you want to take a bath first, or eat me first?"
If you can, you want to do it synchronously.
Shiraishi spoke his mind inwardly.
Ayane is a mischievous child, and whether it is fighting or in other aspects, she seems to be very willful and casual.
It's not as cold and arrogant as Liuli.,So in this kind of fun.,It's better than anyone else.。
Shiraishi thought that there might be a wonderful time tonight.
He could already imagine what a silky and smooth body was under the pure kimono.
Sure enough, it was the right decision to put down the work in the laboratory and go home early.
"No need, I'll go to the study to tidy up my things first, and then I'll talk about it after dinner."
Shiraishi was not in a hurry to bully Ayane so early.
Save the best fun for last, after all, the night is still long.
"Okay, but I just hope that Shiraishi-kun won't regret it then."
Ayane smiled softly there, and the harmless appearance of humans and animals made people want to be protective.
This goblin! Although he pretended to be a gentleman on the surface, his wife's such a hot desire was actually difficult for him to restrain himself.
Anyway, at least you shouldn't start in this kind of place.
So, in the midst of Ayane's chuckle, Shiraishi walked up to the second floor.
His study and bedroom were adjacent, but as he reached the staircase on the second floor, a light footstep in the hallway caught his attention.
Then, he looked at the boy who appeared in front of him, his face was dumbfounded, and he didn't seem to react.
"Color?"
The person who appeared at the front of the corridor was none other than his young son, Aya Chiba.
"Well, Dad, does this dress look good on me?"
Aya bit her fingers lightly and looked at Shiraishi slightly shyly, as if she was looking forward to Shiraishi's evaluation.
Shiraishi noticed that Cai was still wearing a white dress and shoes, and there was a hairpin pinned to her black hair, and the overall style was feminine.
Shiraishi suddenly realized that something was wrong, and Aya appeared at home in this dress, which didn't mean that Ayane was already ......
In an instant, the white stone broke out in a cold sweat.
However, by the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.
A faint voice reached Shiraishi's ears.
"By the way, I forgot to mention just now, before enjoying tonight's nightlife, I have something to discuss with you, Shiraishi-kun. For example, Cai's love for women's clothing, Shiraishi-kun, aren't you going to explain anything to me? Don't worry, I'll listen to Shiraishi-kun's explanation~"
Ayane, who was wrapped in a thick dark aura, appeared behind him at some point, and a smile on her face was even kinder than just now.
It's just that in this kind smile, there is a chilling sense of horror, and the chakra is very exaggeratedly embodied, and the whole mansion shakes terribly.

- Dad was driven to sleep in Thunder Ming Maru's brother's pet house again today -
At this point, Asuka can't continue.
Although as the material for the diary, the home where he lives is more or less.
However, writing about his father's unbearable side like this will not only make his father Shiraishi pitiful, but even Brother Thundering Pill, who has suffered an unwarranted disaster, will also become pitiful.
Brother Lei Mingmaru, who went out, was robbed of his only paradise by his father, and he was actually the most pitiful one.
The cause of the incident, Asuka knows.
When Aunt Ayane, who had been away on business for a few months, came home, she wanted to enjoy the warmth between mother and son with her child, but when she got home, she saw her child and kept trying women's clothes in the cloakroom......
Asuka can probably imagine the horror and oppression of the scene at that time.
Because his mother Ruri's sneer when she gets angry is not as terrible as Aunt Ayane.
When his mother Ruri sneered, it just made people think that she was simply angry.
And Aunt Ayane's sneer is the kind that doesn't smile, and what hides is more than just anger.
Although his father, Shiraishi, more than once reminded Aya not to wear those indifferent clothes.
But Cai didn't take this kind of thing to heart, and where his father couldn't see, he was still secretly trying to make his heart flutter with the forbidden fruit.
Asuka knows that Aya was broken by his sister Kazuhime.
Even though Kazuhime seems to have gone to school far away, her will still influences their only younger brother, Aya.
This is undoubtedly a very strange thing for Asuka.
Why does the lottery have a soft spot for women's clothing?
Obviously, it's not a great interest.
Or is it true that women's clothing is so happy?
Asuka had more than one question in his mind.
In the end, I can only put this kind of thing down to the fact that Aya is the same as Yiji, they are both special children.
Particularly...... Asuka is somewhat envious.
Special means outstanding, it means different.
A younger sister who loves to play tricks.
I like women's clothes with my younger brother Acai.
A father who always has a soft spot for Thunder Maru's brother's pet house.。
A mother who always has a cold face every day.
Aunt Ayane, who is always a smiling face every day.
A wind and rain female sister who can't speak.
The elder brother of the soil general who is always bullied by his younger siblings without knowing the words.
Brother Thunder Ming Maru, who always endures the oppression of his father and Ichihime.
Sister Shadow Dancer who always accidentally cuts off the head of the Earth General's brother.。
……
Compared to these family members, Asuka feels that he is no different from ordinary ordinary people.
If simplicity is also a characteristic, then its own characteristic can only be simplicity.
From the bedroom window on the second floor, looking at his father, who was resting in the pet house in the courtyard, Asuka knew that his father was going to endure loneliness alone again tonight.
Thinking about it this way, Brother Thunder Mingmaru, who is out on business, seems to be a little happier, at least he doesn't have to huddle in a cramped pet house with his father.
"When can I be special?"
Asuka looked out the window at his father and sighed a little sentimentally.
It seems that if you don't become special, you can't fit in with the environment here.
He, Uchiha Asuka, aspires to be a special child.
◎
"Alas......"
This wasn't just the first time Shiraishi sighed today.
In fact, he doesn't know how many times he's sighed today.
He was also a little absent-minded at work, all because of things at home, which distracted him.
Aya likes women's clothing, but she was discovered by Ayane.
He also knew that after his warning, Cai did not cut off this interest in women's clothing, but under the deliberate guidance of Yiji, women's clothing became more hidden.
Even after Kazuhime left, he still retained this peculiar interest.
Unfortunately, after this interest was known by Ayane, it naturally exploded on the spot.
I thought I was going to spend a wonderful night with Ayane, but I ended up blowing the cold wind outside all night.
None of my children have any peace of mind.
Originally, Asuka made himself more worry-free, but these days he has been thinking about how to become a special child...... This made Bai Shi subconsciously feel that the feng shui at home was not very good.
Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Generally speaking, no one will be so rude and come in without knocking.
But after seeing the people who came in, Shiraishi was relieved.
"Father!"
The girl who broke into the office may already have the appearance of a girl.
Wind and snow are the girl's name.
The current female daimyo of the Snow Country, the titular ruler.
Of course, it's also his cute and smart daughter-in-law.
"Xiaoxue, why are you here? At this time, it shouldn't be a holiday in the snow country, right? ”
And the people below didn't notice, so it's conceivable that coming to the country of ghosts was Xiaoxue's unauthorized claim.
This girl is getting bolder.
"Because I miss my father. Could it be that my father, I don't welcome Xiaoxue over? ”
Xiaoxue ran to Shiraishi's side and pouted as if she wasn't satisfied.
"Your Highness, don't make it difficult for Mr. Shiraishi. It's rude, Mr. Shiraishi, your Highness's willfulness is a little more bearable. ”
The man who came in panting and followed was none other than the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Snow, Mitsuo Asama, who assisted Koyuki, and said to Shiraishi with a wry smile.
"Even you're here, Third Lady."
Shiraishi was surprised.
The third husband continued to smile bitterly and said, "No way, it's really His Highness Xiaoxue who is too willful this time." ”
"Really?" Bai Shi touched his chin, looked at Xiao Xue, who was holding his arm affectionately, and had no choice but to say, "What problem are you giving the third wife this time?" Anyway, you're also the daimyo of the Snow Country, so don't always be so willful. ”
"It's not willful, it's a decision I made after careful consideration, Father."
Xiaoxue patted her unopened chest and said proudly.
"Decided?"
Bai Shi was a little puzzled, and then he looked at the third wife and asked, "What is Xiaoxue's decision?" ”
"Ah, that, the decision, it's ......"
The third husband didn't know how to explain to Shiraishi for a while, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
"Xiaoxue, what is your decision?"
Shiraishi was also curious about what decision Xiaoxue made to make the third wife so embarrassed, and finally made trouble on his side.
If it weren't for some particularly excessive requests, Shiraishi thought it would be okay to say yes.
"Actor."
Xiaoxue spat out these two words from her mouth.
"Actors?"
Shiraishi didn't seem to react, blinked his eyes, and stared at Xiaoxue with inexplicable eyes.
"Yes, Father, I've already decided that I'm going to make my debut as a movie actor! You'll support me, Father, right? ”
Xiaoxue looked at Shiraishi expectantly, hoping that he would support her decision.
"Actor, ......"
Shiraishi picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and fell silent.
"That, father-sama...... What's wrong with you? ”
"No, it's nothing, I just want to go to the shrine before I go back tonight......"
"Shrine?"
Xiaoxue blinked her pretty eyes, not understanding.
"Recently, the feng shui at home is not very good, and I need to exorcise evil spirits."
Before Xiaoxue came, he was just suspicious. Now he's sure.
There are indeed some problems with the feng shui in the home.
Originally, it was just his own biological child, but now even the righteous daughter has been affected.
It's not appropriate to have a good name in a country, so you have to be an actor......
Shiraishi felt that if he continued like this, he would have a cerebral hemorrhage sooner or later.
