I opened my eyes wide in surprise - Hizashi had very much staked his gambit.
- You're releasing the byakugan from the clan!
- Without a full-fledged juken training, the dojutsu will not be able to reveal its true power," the shinobi explained with a stony expression, "and without proper breeding, with each generation the byakugan will become weaker in its abilities and will not be able to compete with us, remaining only an excellent tool of reconnaissance.
If you look at it that way, there's not much downside in the long run; we're not Kumogakure and we won't let the girls get divorced, and there's a good chance that the Nara dojutsu holders will want to be trained and join the allied clan.
But, what a strong move at this point in time to offer your kekkei kenkai to a future ally! Naturally, only if they manage to take over, but that's the specifics.
- I'll pass your offer to the head of the shop, and if the answer is yes, I'll get to work right away," I nodded to him. "You don't need to come here again - if you agree, I'll work in the shop as usual tomorrow, and if the answer is no, one of the women will do it.
The lower floor of the shop is not completely shielded from byakugan viewing, unlike the upper floor, and it won't be hard to detect my chakra source even through the barriers.
- It'll be convenient and won't attract too much attention," he approved, "but what about the transfer of the finished result?
- The process of development and testing will take no more than four or five days, and if I'm back behind the counter, it's time to buy seals, - I estimated the necessary time and method of transfer, - it's not even necessary to come myself - you can send some genin to pick up the ordered pack, and about the true purpose of fuin in the enclosed instructions no one will be able to know, only based on the process of creation - you will need to know what to apply it to.
- I'll have someone to send to buy a standard set of Fuin," Hizashi nodded, folding his arms across his chest.
- One last thing - can your dojutsu detect the presence of a particular seal on a person and the difference between several? Making changes to a seal? - I turned the topic to the practical aspect - it was necessary to find out if I would have to add a disguise to the developed fuin.
- Presence, yes, because the seals have chakra, but they can only be distinguished by the type of chakra used and their approximate size," Hyuga raised an eyebrow in bewilderment, but deigned to answer, "What's that for?
- To know what to hide from when activating it," he explained, "It would be much more convenient if the seal itself could be determined only indirectly, by the punishment that didn't work, rather than by the first sight of a Byakugan, wouldn't it?
- Ryo-dono, thank you for your help, it means a lot to me," the Hyuga heir's twin brother bowed his head, adding, "regardless of the Nara head's response.
- You're welcome for now," he waved him off, "unfortunately, I'm not the one making the decision.
