Two months later.
"I don't understand. How did you link genjutsu to the matrix. I mean usually you can make an easy seal into a jutsu and vice versa, but here you made a seal that applied a Genjustsu. Here you mix the two of them together so well I can't see any distinction between the two. It is a jutsu that can be performed for a one time instance using hand seals, and it can be a semi permanent one, with only two more seals, when placed on oneself." I asked Mikasa.
Honestly just by looking at the new seal she created I had to reevaluate her talent. While she wasn't that talented in conventional Fuinjutsu practice : Barrier seals, Curse seals, Law seals and Dimensional seals. She was a genius in a totally new ways. She just created what I thought would be a future Genjutsu branch of our Seals.
Understand that while a seal needs chakra. Normal Chakra. Any divergence from that, be it Yin or Yang Chakra make it an extremelly difficult Seal to create. I expected that Yin and Yang Seals were up there, next to Space-Time seals. While I new some seals that had a Different ratio of yin and yang chakra, it wasn't the same as a completely Yin one. It required an impressive degree of mastery.
"You need to first tie the seal to your chakra frequency. Therefore when you write the seal you only have to calculate the frequency times the cost in Yin chakra, calculate the area the seal has to work on, the change you want to make on this area (the more precise the better, even if it takes more chakra, we are Uzumaki after all). All this while you visualise the final result. So in short you need to make several thoughts process and make them calculated everything and come back together to aply this Illusory Seal." She said in a happy voice, as if it wasn't the most preposterous thing I had ever heard.
First what the f*ck is a Chakra frequency.
Second, How can you be precise about the area the seal work on ? Is it the perimeter ? the superficy ? the aire ? Damn Math, I thought I left you back on earth !!
Third, How the f*ck do I separate my thought process ?
While looking at her as if she grew horns, mouth agape and mind stuttering, she just giggled and placed a gentle hand beneath my mouth to close it, bringing me back to the present. that's the problem with genius, they can't explain anything easily for others to understand.
"Ok, I'm sorry but I don't understand anything you said. So I want you to write everything you have done and come back to me afterwards. Then I will question how you came to this conclusion, these methods and you will answer my questions. We will go on like that till I'm satisfied with all your answers. You will teach me your Illusory Seal ?? Like that and it will help prevent any holes that could be dangerous in your seals. How do you like that ?" I asked her, after explaining my train of thought. I just found a genius in an area unexplored before, I wouldn't lose her before she reached her full potential. And ho God, how it would be awful to lose her after she had almost adopted me .I didn't even want to think about it. But as the Clan Leader of the Uzumaki I had to think of all the future possibilities.
She smiled and nodded to me while pecking my forehead. Blushing, I turned towards Sashida who looked at her black hair and green eyes. Yes you read me right. She had black hair and green eyes now. From what I understood, Mikasa had researched the Henge extensively and had mixed it with a seal that would take a minuscule amount of Chakra from us. The Henge was already an extremelly low-cost jutsu, to make it into a seal and reduce it's cost so that it would always be under our natural regeneration was astonishing and a true testament of her talent.
The creation of this seal would be an asset in my effort to bring back together the Uzumaki. But first we need to make sure it doesn't blow up on us. I don't want to play with messed up seals. From what I could find in my Uzumaki Library, the consequences weren't pretty.
There came running Batsu.
"Guys !! I did it ! I mixed them together. The Blue Persil and the tomato from the land of Vegetables work together perfectly!" Damn, two good news in one day ? Too good to be true, I had to make sure.
I made two clones, one to scout our surroundings and the other one to help me protect the familly. They weren't strong enough to help me if needed and would be dead weight.
Anyway, Batsu had been trying for some time to again increase his yield by planting together two plants that had positives effects on each other. Then he tried to select ones that would survives the sames climates as it would be better rendment. The two plants he mentioned earlier were some varieties that were specially resistant to cold weather and would be good for winter.
Truly these two months were wisely spend. First, were the money that came from the farm. We easily outclassed our neighboring farms and would be buying them probably next month. Second, Mikasa's breakthrough and then Batsu's. Very good, indeed.
"Have you found plants that would work well together, specially for springs ?" I asked Batsu.
"Not yet, but I have good leads, one plants is almost sure to be associated with other ones, I only have to see which one has the most improvement to the rendement overall." He said.
"Okay, thank you, Batsu. You have done a good job."
As I said that, I couldn't help but think about the way I talked to them. Even though, we were almost like familly, since we lived together for 5 months straight, they always reported to me in moments of avancements.
"Why are you so okay with me bossing you around ?" I asked them, one day.
"Because you are our Clan Leader. While for other clan, the Clan Leader is the one who has the most powerfull bloodlines, or the strongest talent, or the most powerfull, etc... For us the Original Lineage is important beyond mesure. You may not know but some bloodlines limit are tied to emotions. The Uchiha and their Hate/Anger/Despair Sharingan, that improves when faced with these emotions. The Chinoike were said to be subject of madness because of their eyes, they would see bloods and monsters, everywhere.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say, is that bloodlines can carry not only abilities but emotions or state of emotions/sensations. And the Original Lineage has this emotional baggage, in the form of unconditional love towards the rest of the familly. It means that they will stop at nothing to retrieve an Uzumaki from the hand of others. That means they will go to war alone against an entire nation just to repay the death of some of its members.
It isn't for nothing that we were the most feared on the battlefield. We were crafty, we were relentless and we had stamina. But most of all, we healed from our wounds. All of us. Of course in varying degree but all of that plus our frightening degree of mastery of Fuinjutsu and we would have been unbeatable. That is without forgetting that we were only 1000 members strong during the fall of Uzushio, with only 500 being Shinobi. We have always had small numbers but the worse was that we surfaced later than other clan.
While we are cousins of the Senju, only 300 years before the CGV ( Création of the Great Village), did we appear. A Senju with red hair fled the clan after one big fight between him and the clan leader of that time. Then he encoutered a woman with purple eyes, in a small island and fell in love. What the man didn't know was that she was the only daughter of one of the Daymo of the island. They still married and had kids late in their marriage. The kids had all their red hair and purple eyes.
What I'm trying to say is that, we haven't had the millenium the Uchiha and Senju had to grow in power and already we almost surpassed them in might. Only our small population and the lack of time to grow made us fall." She explained.
"We went on a little tangent there, but that's alright. Now go sleep, we have things to do tomorow." She added. At least it was a cool history lesson I received. Who would have thought we were this strong...
