Konoha: The seal art teacher of the ninja school

As night fell, Xia Yan, as always, settled his dinner problem at Shuangxi Ramen Shop and walked back home.

Along the way, he was still thinking about what happened in the sealing office.

Although what Kushina said made him think a little at first, as she continued to speak, Natsuhiko also understood what she meant.

In fact, she just wanted Xia Yan to spar with her from time to time and assist her in her cultivation.

Although she usually competes with Grandma Mito or Sister Tsunade, the difference in strength makes her unable to accurately judge how much she weighs.

And Natsuhiko, who is his own age, has traveled extensively in the ninja world, and has experienced hundreds of battles, is an excellent benchmark for Kushina to realize how much strength she has.

However, in the ninja world, inviting others to practice together is a very sensitive matter.

After all, intelligence plays a very important role in ninja battles.

If you are not a relative or friend, you will generally not make such a request casually to the other party.

Although Kushina is very nervous, she is not unaware of this taboo.

Therefore, Xia Yan felt a little secretly happy that Kushina made such a request to him.

Because this means that Kushina's friendliness towards him has unknowingly increased to a very high level.

It seems that I can continue to bully her harder in the future without fear of her suddenly becoming famous.

Xia Yan couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart.

As for Kushina's invitation to compete, Natsuhiko finally agreed.

After all, this is obviously a special event where the favorability reaches a certain level, so of course it must be completed.

Moreover, since he had never been on a mission outside, Xia Yan found that he lacked actual combat training, his body was a little stiff, and he had no chance to test the newly developed moves, so he had always been prepared to solve this problem.

Originally, he wanted to find Teacher Ikkaku to be a lucky spectator for him to test his moves.

However, since a sweet-smelling girl has volunteered to be the experimental subject, Xia Yan will naturally not continue to choose the option of the greasy uncle.

…

After a while, Xia Yan returned to his home.

Unlike usual, today when he entered the door, he didn't hear the footsteps of the three little dogs running towards him. The whole house was quiet.

But Xia Yan was not surprised.

He changed his shoes and went into the house, put down the sundries, then walked down the stairs to the basement of his home.

The basement is not large and is filled with various materials and sundries. There are also some tools used to process materials placed in the corner.

Xia Yan walked straight to an empty wall and stood up, quickly forming a seal with his hands.

Immediately, complicated and obscure runes began to appear on the wall in front of him, and finally they were connected in series to form a circular magic circle.

A chakra wave rippled out from the center of the magic circle, passed through Xia Yan's body silently, and covered the entire basement.

After waiting for a while, Xia Yan heard the clicking sound of the machine.

Then the floor in front of him began to separate to the left and right, revealing a staircase leading to the lower level.

After the sound of the machine stopped, Xia Yan walked down the stairs.

Click, click, click...

After Xia Yan walked down, the floor closed automatically.

The entire basement once again returned to its usual tranquility.

Xia Yan walked down the passage, and at the same time he raised his hand slightly, and a ball of light emitting soft light appeared in front of him, illuminating the originally dark passage like daylight.

Not long after Xia Yan left, he came to the secret basement deeper beneath his home.

It can be seen that this basement was made by using earth escape to dig out a space in the ground. It is quite large and brightly lit. However, there are a lot of debris and dust on the ground. It is obvious that the construction has not been completed yet.

At the same time, it is filled with all kinds of strange equipment and instruments, giving people an uneasy feeling.

It is worth mentioning that there are also many runes drawn on the walls of the basement.

What they form is a common shielding array.

It can avoid prying eyes from all kinds of chakra means, including the white eye.

It can be said that it is a must-have magic circle for every ninja clan in Konoha Hidden Village.

Even an ordinary ninja will bite the bullet and buy himself a set after saving a little bit.

To be honest, without this thing, I'm afraid no ninja would be willing to be neighbors with the Hyuga clan.

After all, no one likes to live a life where someone might be spying on them all the time.

But the Hyuga clan doesn't have to worry about this thing turning their Byakugan into a decoration on the battlefield.

In addition to the fact that this kind of shielding array is expensive and troublesome to set up.

More importantly, in Byakugan's eyes, the area where the shielding circle takes effect will turn into pitch black.

Although it cannot be seen through, this situation is like a firefly in the dark, which is easier to attract attention and cannot achieve the effect of a sneak attack.

In the center of the room, a strange machine covering a large area was operating, with various indicator lights on it flashing constantly.

It can be seen that it is made up of computers that are still very rare today and various materials engraved with runes.

This big chakra punk style machine is actually the original body of Xia Yan’s chakra brain, the prototype he originally built.

Whenever Xia Yan comes here and sees this old man, he will remember that he sealed him in a scroll and carried it with him.

While carrying out missions in various places, give it a great time to collect various materials to upgrade.

When people get old, they always like to miss the past.

Sixteen-year-old Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh.

Although Xia Yan now has a more advanced Chakra Brain made of Chakra metal, this machine continues to shine and heat in this basement, assisting his clones in various research tasks.

He is his important partner.

Just like the Pokémon that Ash dumps at Dr. Oak's house at the end of every season.

Thinking of the youthful years he spent with it, Xia Yan couldn't help but feel moved.

So he reached out and patted his old buddy hard to show his condolences.

As a result, as soon as he finished filming, his old buddy sprayed out a screw from nowhere, and white smoke began to emit from several connections, making a sharp whistle - he almost stretched out his legs and suddenly passed away...

Xia Yan's raised hand froze instantly, not daring to move at all.

After picking up a huge wrench, taking out two rolls of tape, and skillfully performing first aid measures on the old man, Xia Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought there wouldn't be any big problems."

He comforted himself.

Is it possible that the entire Konoha can be blown up into the sky?

After that, we will wait for the clone to have time to let them solve the problem.

Xia Yan clapped his hands and walked around the machine to the other end of the basement.

Here Xia Yan finally saw his three infant clones.

I saw three little ones gathered around an unfinished machine, holding hammers, wrenches, and electric drills in their hands, and they were busy installing the machine.

The scene is like a child driving a big car. Just looking at it makes people want to call the police.

Hearing Xia Yan's footsteps approaching, the three little ones were not as enthusiastic as usual. They just glanced at him lightly, then lowered their heads and continued their busy work.

Xia Yan scratched his head.

The three little guys actually stopped playing dad jokes today, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Sure enough, every boy likes to be called daddy, regardless of whether the other person is a boy or a girl.

Even including myself.

However, from the brief glance of the three little ones just now, he could still detect the resentment that was about to overflow in their eyes.

Resentment from beaten workers.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it. In order to make the various machines that needed to be used before the tavern opened, Xia Yan even stopped the research tasks for the three little ones and asked them to concentrate on building these machines first.

Working in this basement day and night, it's no wonder they have so much resentment.

Although the three little ones were essentially his shadow clones, Xia Yan still felt a little guilty.

After all, Sanxiao was only experiencing the hard work in person, and he was only receiving the memories while sleeping, as if he had a dream.

That's much more comfortable.

The only thing that worried him was that when he had a dream recently,

From time to time, I dream of myself being hanged under a streetlight...
