After over 3 months, Yoichi gained many things from his exploration in the southwestern part of these luscious and fertile lands near the coast.
There are different towns, seafood, localities, Indigenous people, and a bunch of people with bad intentions that have become much more rampant in the past few months the moment the emperor died and his loyal retainers in the palace.
The chaos and war brewing around the corner as the fights and skirmishes of the ambitious people simmered in the atmosphere. Every time he encounters some innocent lambs, Yoichi helps them and kills the other bandits and thieves alike from the ongoing storm in these lands.
In those 3 months, Yoichi developed some odd techniques such as [Sand Soldiers], [Test of Spirit], [Phantasm], and a bunch of ninjutsu designed to immobilize or injure the enemy in a brief amount of time and effectively maim them in the battlefield.
[Sand Soldiers] was inspired by Azir's sand warriors. These soldiers must be stabilized through the use of chakra manipulation or a Sand Release. These Sand Soldiers were different since they could move in other ways but they are stuck with the user's chakra. Virtually, a puppet with only sand and charka is required to summon.
[Test of Spirit] was another inspired idea by Illaoi's 3rd skill. The spiritual techniques of Naruto, have never been unearthed by the show. The technique steals a portion of the opponent's soul by hitting their body and pulling out the soul. The skill must be able to hit the opponent which is so difficult in the Shinobi World but it's a great torturing technique. The requirement for utilizing the skill was the mastery of the spiritual part of the Chakra components. The Yamanaka Clan and Nara Clan were one of the best users of Yin Release.
[Phantasm] was an upgraded version of his technique, [Phantom Dispersion]. Its unique ability was to let its clones disperse their Chakra in the air to transform into afterimages controlled by the user. It was completely [Multiple Shadow Clone] but with afterimages as just a little bit of tweak. For now, the available afterimages his clones would form were only 4 but the explosion inside the afterimages was minimal but good in his books.
Furthermore, his Spirit Nurturing Stage went into a significant increase in overall performance but the breakthrough was still far away from his sight. The cultivation of the Spirit Nurturing Stage in average martial artists took about 100 years before going to another stage. However, Yoichi had the time and opportunity with his passive abilities in his book.
"What the hell is going on?"
After going back, Yoichi looked at the brand-new scenery from Suzaku Town. The designs and other buildings were brimming with lively and security. From the looks of it, his family did not fail his expectations and delivered their plans to fruition.
'Okay, I thought my house would be completely different once I came back. Fortunately, that didn't happen.'
Glancing at his house, Yoichi sighed in relief from the adventures and his exploration across the lands finally came to an end. The interior looked the same as the time he left the house, all of it didn't change as the people in his clan were what Yoichi was waiting for.
"Welcome home, sir!"
At that moment, a man kneeled on the floor and lowered his head, a subservient attitude with proper etiquette while Yoichi felt a familiar aura in this individual in front of him. A dark feeling.
"Are you one of the shadows?"
"Yes, my liege!"
The man was a burly man with an armored body, hiding his shadowy glow, scent, and aura outside.
"Why are you in the house and where are the people?"
"I am assigned by the mistresses of the clan to protect the house from any dangers! The madams were working inside their designated place, my lord. Do you want me to call them, I can—"
"No, no. Just let them do the work. I'll handle it."
"I understood."
It was only noon, Yoichi cooked some dishes and prepared them dishes in the dining room. The lunch was filled with seafood and other exotic herbs he found in the forest and mountain. Even he experimented with herbs inside the domain and it was safe to consume, pregnant or not.
"Yoichi!!!"
In the distance, Satomi rushed and hugged him tightly with her swollen abdomen becoming more and more apparent. These pregnant wives had a lot of energy even if they were working with strenuous and exhausting paper jobs.
"Be careful, look at you. Still childish even though you will be a mother sooner." Yoichi flicked her forehead but Satomi's unrelenting kisses on his cheeks gradually subsided with her legs wrapped in his waist like a mischief.
"I missed you so much!"
"Yeah, yeah. Everyone, let's head inside. I cooked some food for us." Yoichi walked with Satomi in his arms like a spoiled child as the others shook their heads while walking into the home.
While eating inside, Makima and others described their moves from Yoichi in great detail with a good explanation and narration of the plans.
The Tokugawa Clan was annihilated by them due to their rebellious and undefiant acts of ruling the Suzuka Town. Maki and the others killed them all ruthlessly and pinned their body in the town square.
After that, the town received a massive boost in population through the work of merchants, artists, warriors, and people across these lands in search of a good settlement in the era of conflict. Now, the Murakami Clan, Zenin Clan, and Gojo Clan were the ultimate de facto leaders of Suzaku Town in charge of governance, administration, and safety.
Due to the blooming prosperity, many unscrupulous people with bad intentions sprung out but were instantly weeded out by the shadows of the Murakami Clan, giving them huge popularity in favor of the common people.
Makima was in the position of treasury and funds. The taxes of each individual living inside a safe cocoon must be sky-high, especially for rich people such as merchants and artists alike. Tax the rich XDD.
Maki was in charge of the military, bolstering the soldiers and warriors for the upcoming wars.
Both Yoru and Yuki were assigned to information gathering and intel for these sprouting ambitions.
Nobara and Satomi were designated in the administration and weaponry division of the need for quality swords and better management was necessary for a town to grow much bigger than any town in these lands.
Each of these valuable positions was important to improve the lives and quality of the people living in their administration. It's just like an octopus with 3 hearts in their body. It was a significant change but for the greater good of the citizens of Suzaku Town.
"Oh! How I miss this domain!"
After eating, the group went inside the domain while Yoichi experimented once more with the Wood Release composition and other techniques that needed to be refined and modified to their greatest potential.
Based on Yoichi's attempts, Wood Release needed to be injected through the bloodstream and let the cells gradually change and modify these cells for the Wood Release to awaken inside someone's body.
The difference was the need for a Chakra Fruit since other people inside the show were just the descendants of Kaguya. As genetic degradation starts over time, the number of people who have anomalies inside continues to dwindle in each passing generation due to the purity and chakra quality of the people.
That's why in Naruto, it is rare to see a civilian keep a Kekkai Genkai inside their body and even if they tried to get a Bloodline Limit just like Orochimaru wanted in the first place, the genetic mismatch would reject the gene synchronization inside their body.
If a person was a descendant of Kaguya, the possibility of Wood Release and Sage Body would continue to diminish in each generation, and the requirements for these powers were becoming more and more harsher and narrower to acquire.
The Warring States Era destroyed most of the powerhouses of each clan to the brink of extinction.
"What bullshit is this? I will develop the Eight Inner Gates to be reliable for other civilians in this land once I am on the show. Madara almost got kicked to death by Might Guy in his Gate of Death... I could handle the stress of Gate of Death through my extraordinary Ki but the cultivation of Ki was a painful and torturous struggle..."
"Aha! Why not develop a pill to alleviate the tragic result of activating the Gate of Death?... Or I could create a Chakra Battery Scroll without the use of Tsunade's Hundred Seal. This could work due to my extensive experience and wisdom... Let's develop a Chakra Battery Scroll then we will proceed with the pill creation!"
Yoichi cracked his hands as joints popping rang in the room, another invention to shake the world!
What he needed was a chakra conductive paper with a seal on top of the paper to create a Chakra Battery Scroll. The Chakra inside the scroll must be permanently sealed without any leakage to prevent any further unexpected problems. The scroll size should be big just like Hashirama's big ass scroll in his back.
The chakra infusion was quite complex but easy if they knew the atomic compound of each thing but the people of the Naruto World didn't have that deep understanding and comprehension.
The chakra inside the thing must be sealed by a sealing technique since the thing doesn't have Chakra Nodes like humans. The thing would transform due to chakra infusion over time and the atomic combination inside the thing would sap away the chakra to form a chakra-infused thing.
It's just like Iwagakure's unnamed kinjutsu.
For the sake of Iwagakure's name, Yoichi named it The Stone Materialization Technique.
