"By the way, I feel a little strange about this altar painted by Lord Tokumitsu......"

At the construction site of the shrine in the center of Konoha New District, Uchiha Shisui said to Senju Rope, the general contractor in charge of the construction of the project.

"It's not strange, it's innovative~"

Looking at the fact that this shrine construction project is a rare large order and urgent single copy, the smile on the face of the thousand hand rope tree is very bright, and he is very patient and perfunctory to the Uchiha who has a lot of.

With the continuous investment of Konoha Village Investment Company in the new area, the construction of Konoha New Area can be described as changing with each passing day, and the progress is gratifying.

Now that the first phase of the new district has been completed and delivered, the new commercial area and embassy area have been put into use, and the attached high-rise apartments have also entered the renovation stage, which is expected to be completed within a month according to the work efficiency of the ninja.

Although the cost of the construction of the new district has been soaring due to the large number of ninjas used for construction, with the huge income brought by the new district after it was put into operation, the ninjas in the House of Representatives, led by Sakuhige Hagi, no longer pay attention to the high debt, but began to urge the village investment company to issue new debt to speed up the construction progress.

As for the Senate, they are basically stakeholders, and naturally they will not have any objections to the continuous issuance of bonds by the village investment company.

The shrine proposed by Uchiha Tokumitsu is located between the first and second phases of the new district, and it is also the center of the new district in the future.

Of course, although some people in the Senate and House of Representatives felt that it was a waste to build a useless shrine in such a perfect location, considering that this was requested by Uchiha Tokumitsu after all, no one dared to say more.

As for the Thousand Hands Clan, they have no opinion.

Among the "Imperial Three Houses" in Konoha's emerging Tudun construction industry, the "Thousand Hands Houses" of the Thousand Hands family are known for their quality and speed, and the share of construction in the new district is slightly higher than that of Hyuga Construction, which advertises "white-eyed Seiko and wealthy standards"; As for the "Uchiha Real Estate", which is first-class in brick-burning due to its specialization, if it were not for the support of the Nangagawa Stock Exchange and the United Company, coupled with the aura of the Uchiha family, it is estimated that it would have been squeezed out of the construction market long ago and could only supply building materials.

But after all, this shrine construction project was requested by Uchiha Tokumitsu, and the person in charge of Uchiha Real Estate made it clear that the construction task could not be completed within the required time, so in desperation, Uchiha Shisui could only find the Thousand Hands House and entrust it to contract the construction.

"I remember that the Inari Shrine of the Senju clan was made of wood, right?"

The time spent guarding the construction site was very difficult, and the Uchiha Shisui began to have nothing to say again.

"Yes, this is also the tradition of the Thousand Hands Clan......"

The smile on Senjutsuki's face was still maintained, but it was somewhat far-fetched.

In less than half a day, the chattering Zhishui had already chatted with him I don't know how many times.

"Since it's mainly a wooden building...... So why is this masonry structure so skillful? ”

Uchiha Shisui continued to ask, "By the way, do the Senju clan care so much about tradition?" ”

"What is Traditional ......"

The Thousand Hand Rope Tree felt tired, and the smile on his face became lighter and lighter: "The combination of water and earth is not a high-end secret art, besides, isn't the architectural standard and architectural style required by Lord Deguang?" ”

"And tradition can't be eaten as a meal, if you have to abide by tradition...... The Senju clan is estimated to be still picking pine nut mushrooms in the big forest, and the Uchiha clan is also hunting in the mountains of the north. ”

It can only be said that if you say such a thing, Party A will count him as unlucky.

Moreover, it is well known that Uchiha Shisui is the first disciple of Uchiha Tokumitsu, so it is better not to be easily offended.

"Hmm~ Rope Shu-kun has a point, this is the same reason as what the teacher often says to keep pace with the times."

The Uchiha nodded repeatedly, and at the same time took out his notebook and recorded it on the spot.

"Alas......"

The Thousand Hands Rope Tree sighed inwardly.

I don't know if it's because I have a lot of nervous problems with this guy and that "Konoha Rare Beast".

Of course, although the Thousand Hands Rope Tree was full of slander, he still continued to perfunctory with a business-style smile on his face.

……

"This is Konoha ......"

Accompanied by the attendant ninja, the shrine maiden of the country of ghosts, who had come from the country of ghosts, stood at the entrance of Konoha Village, and her heart was full of emotion.

Although she is the existence of the country of ghosts, second only to the great witch Maitreya, and she can be regarded as well-informed, everything she has seen and heard is immediately overshadowed by today's Konoha.

In particular, the towering buildings in the distance are even more unique in the ninja world.

The attendant ninja has long been accustomed to the surprise of people from other villages when they see the "landmark high-rise apartment" in Konoha New District for the first time, so they don't think it's strange, and they don't urge, they just let the witch stand at the entrance of the village and sigh all kinds of sighs.

"That building is ......"

The shrine maiden asked, pointing to the tallest building in the direction of the new district.

"That's the Shangnin Apartment, and all the Shangnin in the village will be able to get one set at that time."

The squire ninja replied boredly.

"Konoha is really rich ......"

The shrine maiden couldn't help but sigh.

"Shangnin is the pillar of the village, and he is also a member of the House of Representatives, no matter how preferential he is."

The squire ninja shrugged his shoulders and replied in an extremely loose and ordinary tone.

"It's no wonder that Konoha is so prosperous under Lord Tokumitsu, and sure enough, there is a reason for this."

The shrine maiden also complimented slightly, "Let's go see Tokumitsu-sama, I'm tired." ”

"You're welcome~"

The attendant ninja bowed slightly, and his affection for this witch who knew etiquette and etiquette and advanced and retreated was doubled.

……

"Risha, the chief priest of the Hanato Shrine in the country of demons, is hereby ordered by the Maitreya Temple, the great witch of my country, to see His Excellency Tokumitsu, the Divine Warrior."

In the living room of the Konoha Governor's Palace, which is rarely used once, Uchiha Tokumitsu receives the shrine maidens of the Oni Country who have come from afar.

"The priest of Risha has been more polite."

Uchiha Tokumitsu also bowed his head slightly in response, "But I don't know the Maitreya Hall ......"

"The Maitreya Hall shoulders the heavy responsibility of sealing the monster spirit, and I really can't come here, and I hope that His Excellency Deguang will be magnanimous."

The shrine maiden Risa immediately replied: "The matter of the envoy's invitation to come has been made clear in Xia, and he has presided over the Hanato Shrine for many years, and he is quite skilled in the rituals of sacrifice, so he will not delay His Excellency Tokumitsu's important affairs. ”

"That's fine......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's sacrificial rituals that are characteristic of the ninja world belong to the seven knots and have passed the six knots, and since the shrine maiden Risa expressed confidence, then he doesn't care.

"But I don't know which god Your Excellency Deguang is going to introduce?"

The shrine maiden Risa also breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked cautiously.

"The Goddess of Mao, the ...... of the Six Immortals"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said, "If you can, there are also the ancestors of the Uchiha clan. ”

"That's fine."

The shrine maiden Risa hurriedly said.

This kind of operation is not strange, after all, the family temples and shrines of the daimyo nobles of the ninja world are also worshipping their ancestors in the side halls, so this is also a regular operation.

"But the goddess of Mao and the six immortals are ...... priority"

"The goddess of Mao is the main goddess."

Uchiha Tokuko said directly without thinking about it.

Although it was a little strange why it was not the Six Paths Immortal who was worshiped as the "Ninja Ancestor" by the main priest, the shrine maiden Risa didn't ask much, and just silently wrote it down.

The goddess of U, that is, Kaguya, who was sealed on the moon, has a legend about her that has been circulating all over the ninja world.

But perhaps someone deliberately modified or erased it, there are not many records about the goddess of U, and even the main god is mostly some folk shrines, and most of them regard it as the god of marriage and childbirth, but its identity as the source of chakra is unknown.

But as a shrine maiden, she shouldn't ask about the choice of the lord's family, so the shrine maiden Risa only continued to discuss the festival itself with Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"By the way, this time the sacrifice will be a blood sacrifice."

Uchiha Tokumitsu added, "As you may know, the village has recently captured a group of aliens from Myoki Mountain and Ryuji Cave. ”

"Blood Sacrifice...... I see. ”

The witch Risa suddenly felt a little numb, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to respond hard.

But fortunately, the shrine maidens are supposed to serve the ghosts and gods and use their power to eradicate demons and protect the existence of humans, so as long as they don't use humans for blood sacrifices, the shrine maidens generally don't think it's much of a problem.

It's just that Uchiha Tokumitsu's use of the legendary creatures of the Holy Land for blood sacrifices really surprised the shrine maiden Risa.

"There is another thing to ask for, the power of faith in sacrifice...... Can it be passed on to the gods of the presiding priest? ”

"The power of the wish is a true existence, and the true name of the main deity is unmistakable and real......"

The shrine maiden Risa said euphemistically.

This means that after a sacrifice is performed through a specific ritual, it is indeed possible to produce some kind of mysterious wish, but whether the god can receive it or not depends on whether he really exists.

To be honest, even the seasoned shrine maiden Risa is the first time in her career that she has seen a ninja who has attributed her power to herself behave so "superstitiously".

"That's fine......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, thoughtful.

The reason why he made such a show was not to be idle and toss, but to test the existence of the goddess of the lower Mao and the six immortals through sacrifices.

Even if you can't get any benefits from the goddess of Mao through the blood sacrifice, you can use the blood of the toads of Miaomu Mountain to stimulate the eccentric Liudao old man to see what kind of existence he is in now.

After all, Myoki Mountain was an ally who instigated and supported the Otsuki Hagoroi brothers to rebel against their mother, Otsuki Kaguya, and Uchiha Tokumitsu also wanted to see how the Six Paths Immortals, whose spirits were hiding somewhere, would react to this.

Of course, it would be great if you could get some benefits about the bloodline flow from the ancestral god Otsuki Kaguya through the blood sacrifice and the induction of the power of willingness.

"By the way, this is a rendering of the shrine, you can see how to arrange the ritual and the process."

Uchiha Tokumitsu handed over a copy of the text.

The shrine maiden Risa immediately caught it with both hands, bowed and flipped through it.

"Your Excellency Deguang, may I ask what ...... this building is?"

Although the design of Uchiha Tokumitsu is somewhat different from the common shrines in the ninja world, the shrine maiden Risa is still very quick to design a ritual process that conforms to the ritual with her rich experience.

However, when she saw a circular platform on the renderings, she was a little dazed.

"Oh~ this."

Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled and said, "I call it the Temple of Heaven. ”
