Author:

Before starting reading, I would also like to invite you to familiarize yourself with my author's work "The Path of Omniscience", where the main character is not a person, he is cold and insensitive to everything.

You can also support me on my PATRE0N where I publish chapters in advance. Just follow the link https://www.patrеon.com/lonhet or enter my nickname.

...

The light, passing through the curtains covering the window, illuminated the room. Furnished with several cabinets and a large table at which a man was sitting, the room did not get rid of the abundance of scrolls scattered around.

Sitting on a chair, Hanshi, whose face was overcome with fatigue and sickly pallor, with black bags under his eyes, lazily stared at the scroll in front of him.

- Haa, how I want to sleep…

The silence of the room was broken by a heavy sigh filled with sadness, followed by a murmur. Shifting his gaze to the edge of the table, the man looked with a little hope at a tripod with a dozen test tubes, most of which were already empty.

Reaching out and taking another test tube, Hanshi opened it with a clicking sound. Immediately, a slightly unpleasant smell of herbs hit him in the nose. Without paying attention to him, he immediately took a sip of the test tube, pouring the contents into his body.

- Eh, Samato really did useful things… But why didn't he give it to me right away, it would be so useful…

With a slight resentment in his voice, the man muttered, putting the test tube back on the counter. At the same moment, the sound of a knock on the door rang through the room. Looking at the source of the sound, Hanshi smiled in surprise, but with relief.

- To talk of the devil… Come in!

The door to the office slowly opened, revealing the boy who had entered. His thin, insular facial features made it clear that he would become extremely handsome in the future. Medium-length black hair was pulled to the sides, allowing you to easily inspect the surroundings with your white eyes. But the most noticeable feature of the boy was his pale skin.

Looking at her son, Hansha's smile quickly faded from her lips, replaced by a frown. The veins in the man's eyes bulged, and he looked at the boy carefully, trying to see everything as best as possible.

-... You... did it... the vital energy has increased significantly, and I don't see any problems…

Walking a little forward, Samato nodded in a relaxed manner, not paying attention to the sensations of the throne's gaze.

- Yes, everything went well, the vital energy of the cells increased significantly. I think with similar body indicators by the age of 15 I will reach the level of my uncle.

- Maybe, maybe... are there definitely no problems? If necessary, I can help.

- No, the experience is successful, the DNA has caught on. You know perfectly well, Father, that after discovery that Kaguya and we are distant relatives, the result of DNA mixing should have a large percentage of success.

- Eh, who would have thought… Well, you're just in time, the head sent his man and he said that you need to prepare for the mission.

Unsurprised, Samato nodded easily.

- What is the mission?

Hanshi, in turn, became a little gloomy. But he answered with a faint smile.

- The daimyo of the country of trees hired our and several other clans to protect their territories. He heard a rumor that the daimyo of the neighboring country of fire, began to hire clans at a fast pace… From what our intelligence got, they hired, in addition to the trinity of allied clans, Sarutobi, Shimura, and Senju. So I think we should count on the fact that our allies will be Uchiha. There will probably be a few more clans, but more on that later. The task of your team will be the exploration and protection of the daimyo, if possible, the protection of the capital.

Frowning, Samato took his chin in thought, thinking about the situation.

- Who will be with me in the team? I don't think they will send a weak group to protect the employer.

Hearing the question, a relaxed smile appeared on Hansha's face, in which relief could be seen.

- You're right. Your team will have the son of the head of Harushumo, and your uncle will be the leader. It's the only thing that makes my heart calm down. Surely there will be henchmen of the opposite camp among the rest of the team, so be careful. Although Ame will do everything possible so that nothing happens to you, I advise you to stay close to Harushumo.

- I understand. I need to get ready, I'll meet you for dinner.

- Aah, go, and I'll take a nap.

...

After leaving the estate and heading towards the training ground, Samato breathed in clean air, feeling an unprecedented lightness. Having reached the gate and examined the rather empty street, the scientist thought.

"Hmm, I guess I'll use shunshen. At the same time I will try to adapt to my enhanced sensory abilities"

After folding one seal, Samato's body blurred along with the bright flash of lightning that appeared. In less than a few tens of seconds, with a gust of wind, a silhouette appeared in the center of the training field.

After looking around with the help of byakugan and putting his hand to his chin, Samato thought about something. Some time later, he nodded his head, folding the seal, activating the barrier on the training field.

- I think it's worth strengthening the barrier and removing these new fuins that have appeared out of nowhere.

As soon as Samato entered the edge where the territory of the training field begins, he felt a strange chakro-structure on the edge of his sensorics, to which he had nothing to do. Having looked at that place with the help of byakugan, the scientist saw nothing but the earth. Heading to the place where he felt the construction, Samato concentrated with all his attention, thinking to himself.

"This is different from the concealment seal I created in my lab. If, when byakugan looks closely at the place where my "dungeon" you can only see a dark void that will not focus attention underground, then part of this chakra structure is different."

When there were about ten meters left to the construction site, Samato felt a weak source of chakra his sensor. Coming up and crouching down to the ground, he directed the chakra into his hand and gently hit. An abundance of cracks appeared on the ground, shaking his hand, Samato started digging. Although the impact split the ground a little, it still remained a little hard. After spending some time on this action, the scientist suddenly felt that his hand did not hit something solid.

"Finally, if I wasn't worried about being followed, I could use some kind of earth technique… Although I'm at them bad, but at least something."

Carefully tearing around, a small square piece of metal fell into the scientist's eyes, on which many symbols were applied. Seeing him, interest flashed in Samato's eyes and after carefully looking at the symbols of the seal, a smile slowly began to form on his face.

- It's really interesting. I am very grateful to you for such a generous marriage gift, Elder.

In the next moment, having folded the seal, a stream of chakra burst out of Samato's fingers, which destroyed the familiar chakra in the cube, interrupting the fuinjutsu work. Taking out a scroll and sealing a piece of iron, the scientist looked around with a faint smile, behind which dissatisfaction could be seen.

- Now I need to carefully inspect the entire field for the presence of such gifts…

...

- Well?

-…

In the office where the two old men were sitting, teshena reigned. A sickly-looking man, whose skin was yellowish, stared blankly at the table, where an empty scroll covered with ink was visible.

- Is he a sensor? Why is there nothing unknown about this?

Finally breaking the silence, the man spoke in an empty tone, in which a strange resentment was heard. The old woman sitting next to him looked at the interlocutor and shrugged her shoulders.

- I don't know, perhaps during these last months of absence, he devoted some time to the development of this direction… It is necessary to send people to compile a new package of information.

Putting her hand to her chin, the old woman spoke the last part thoughtfully. The man continued to look at the scroll.

- My fuinjutsu…
