- Ryo, what did you want to talk about? - Saya asked, glancing over at my wives.
- Just a moment," I raised my hand, stopping her.
The women watched in growing bewilderment as I systematically activated all the defenses that had been placed on the basement, making them visible to those inside, even without the gift of a sensor, their hair trying to stand on end at the concentration of chakra around them.
In their memory, I had never resorted to such security measures, even if it was an important conversation not for others' ears.
- Now we can," I nodded to myself in satisfaction and turned to the three kunoichi, "it's just that the topic would be too important and sensitive to neglect safety even here.
- Oh Ryo, you've got something on your mind that shouldn't even be hinted at by outsiders, don't you? - Ma sighed, giving me an understanding look.
More knowledgeable than most about some of the jobs that hadn't seen the light of day beyond this basement door, she understood better than most what I was capable of.
- Almost and no one outside the family should know about my work," I nodded to her and gave the three of them a very serious look before I began, "I've been working on a project for the last few years and a while ago, I made a breakthrough with a set of seals called Seishi no Ibuki (Breath of Youth).
- Breath of Youth? - Linley raised her eyebrows in surprise. - That's a very telling name, and does it capture the essence?
- You won't be interested in the technical details, nor will you really understand them, so I'll start with the more down-to-earth and simple stuff, like researching Uzumaki's kekkei genkai and what it does.
- Ryo, but does Uzumaki have that kind of heritage? - Hitomi shook her head, looking at me with round eyes. - Surely someone must have heard of it!
- Ryuta didn't mention anything like that," Ma agreed, giving me a skeptical look.
- Because it's an energy kekkei genkai, acting passively and the Uzumaki themselves just consider it to be a common inheritance, disappearing when you go to the side for a couple of generations, like the potential of offspring from strong fighters, - irritated rolled his eyes, - they are all obsessed with fuin, that and take for the heritage of the clan and just do not have scientists and iryonin to thoroughly understand everything, but they do not need it, by and large, it's only me so curious and meticulous.
Then, I thoroughly described to the three kunoichi all the advantages given to the bearer of such a nameless kekkei genkai, including the process of transmission to descendants, trying to avoid abstruse terms iryonin.
- So, we've learned more about the Uzumaki than they know about themselves, but how is that relevant to the point? - The first wife rubbed her forehead. - You didn't just tell us about all the advantages, did you?
