"By the way, I feel a little strange about the altar painted by Tokumitsu-sama..."
On the shrine construction site in the center of Konoha New District, Uchiha Shisui said to Senju Nawaki, the general contractor in charge of the project construction.
"It's not strange, it's innovative~"
Seeing that this shrine construction project was a rare large-scale urgent order, Senju Naoki had a very bright smile on his face, and he patiently dealt with Uchiha Shisui who talked a lot of nonsense.
With the continuous investment of Konoha Village Investment Company in the new area, the construction of Konoha New Area can be said to be changing with each passing day and the progress is gratifying.
Now that the first phase of the new district has been completed and delivered, the new commercial area and embassy area have been put into use, and the attached high-rise apartments have also entered the renovation stage. According to Ninja's work efficiency, it is expected to be completed within a month.
Although the construction cost of the new district has been skyrocketing due to the large number of ninjas used in the construction, with the huge income brought in after the new district was put into operation, the House of Representatives jounin headed by Hatake Sakumo no longer invested in the high amount of money. Instead of paying attention to the debt, they began to urge the village investment company to issue new debt to speed up the construction progress.
As for the Senate, they are basically all stakeholders, and naturally they will not have any objections to the village investment company's continuous issuance of bonds.
The shrine that Uchiha Tokumitsu plans to build is located between the first and second phases of the new area. It is also the central plot of land in the new area in the future. It is a prime location that could fetch a sky-high price in a matter of minutes.
Of course, although some people in the House of Representatives and the Senate felt that it was a waste to use such a perfect location to build a useless shrine, considering that this was Uchiha Tokumitsu's request after all, no one dared to say a word.
As for the Thousand Hands clan, they have no objections.
Among Konoha's emerging earth escape construction industry "Gosan", the "Senju House" of the Senju clan is famous for its quality and speed, and its share of new district construction is slightly higher than that of Hyuga Construction, which advertises "Byakugan Seiko and wealthy standards" ; As for "Uchiha Real Estate", which is top-notch in brick-making due to its expertise in fire escape, if it were not for the support of the Minamagawa Stock Exchange and the United Company, coupled with the aura of the Uchiha clan, it would have been squeezed out of the construction market long ago. We can only supply building materials.
But after all, this shrine construction project was requested by Uchiha Tokko, and the person in charge of Uchiha Real Estate made it clear that the construction task could not be completed within the required time. In desperation, Uchiha Shisui could only find the Senju House. and entrusted it with contract construction.
"I remember that the Inari Shrine of the Senju clan is made of wood, right?"
The time spent guarding the construction site was very difficult, and Uchiha Shisui began to run out of words again.
"Yes, this is also the tradition of the Thousand Hands clan..."
Senju Naoki still maintained a smile on his face, but it was somewhat far-fetched.
In less than half a day, the chatty Shisui had already had awkward conversations with him countless times.
"Since it is mainly a wooden structure building...then why is this kind of masonry structure so skilled?"
Uchiha Shisui continued to ask: "By the way, are all the Senju clan so indifferent to tradition?"
"What is tradition..."
Senju Nōshu felt tired, and the smile on his face became weaker and weaker: "The combined ninjutsu of water escape and earth escape is not a sophisticated secret technique. Besides, the building standards and architectural style are not Tokumitsu-sama." Did you ask for it?"
"And traditions can't be eaten. If we must abide by tradition... Then the Senju clan is probably still gathering pine nuts and mushrooms in the big forest, and the Uchiha clan is also hunting in the mountains in the north."
All I can say is that Party A is unlucky to have such a talkative person.
Moreover, it is well known that Uchiha Shisui is the first disciple of Uchiha Tokumitsu, so it is better not to offend him easily.
"Hmm~ Mr. Shengshu is right. This is the same as what the teacher often said about advancing with the times."
Uchiha Shisui nodded repeatedly, and at the same time took out his notebook and recorded it on the spot.
"well……"
Thousand-hand rope tree sighed inwardly.
I don’t know if it’s because he has a mental problem because he hangs out too much with that “Konoha Precious Beast”.
Of course, even though Senju Naoki was complaining, he still had a business-like smile on his face and continued to deal with it.
…
"This is Konoha..."
Accompanied by her attendant ninjas, the Demonic Kingdom miko who had come from the Demonic Kingdom stood at the entrance of Konoha Village with a lot of emotions in her heart.
Although she is the second most powerful person in the Demon Country after Maitreya, the Great Miko, and is considered well-informed, everything she has seen and heard in the past immediately pales in comparison to Konoha today.
Especially the towering buildings in the distance, their shapes are unique in the ninja world.
The attendant ninjas have long been accustomed to the surprise of people from other villages when they see the "landmark high-rise apartment" in Konoha New District for the first time, so they don't feel surprised, and they don't urge them. They just let the miko stand at the entrance of the village and sigh.
"That building is..."
The miko asked, pointing to the tallest building in the direction of the new district.
"That's the jounin apartment. By then, all the jounin in the village will be able to get one."
The attendant ninja replied boredly.
"Konoha is really rich..."
The miko couldn't help but sigh.
"A Jonin is the pillar of the village and a member of the House of Representatives. No amount of preferential treatment is too much."
The attendant ninja shrugged and replied in an extremely casual tone.
"No wonder Konoha is so prosperous and prosperous under Lord Tokumitsu. Sure enough, there is a reason for this."
The miko also gave a little compliment, "Let's go see Lord Tokumitsu, please."
"You're welcome~"
The attendant ninja bowed slightly, and his affection for this shrine maiden, who knew etiquette and observed propriety, and was well-controlled in advance and retreat, doubled.
…
"Risa, the chief priest of the Hanado Shrine in the land of demons, comes here on the orders of the great shrine maiden of this country, Maitreya, to meet His Excellency Tokimitsu, the most powerful god in martial arts."
In the reception room of the Konoha Governor's Mansion, which was rarely used once, Uchiha Tokumitsu received the miko from the Kingdom of Demons who had come from afar.
"Priest Risa is so polite."
Uchiha Demitsu also nodded slightly and responded, "But I don't know that Maitreya Hall..."
"The Maitreya Palace shoulders the important task of sealing monsters and monsters. I really can't come here. I hope Lord Deguang will be lenient."
The shrine maiden Risa immediately replied: "I already know that the envoy has come to invite me, and I have presided over Hanado Shrine for many years. I am quite skilled in the rituals of sacrifices, so I will not delay the important events of Lord Tokumitsu."
"That's no problem..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu's characteristic sacrificial rituals in the ninja world were originally seven orifices that opened up six orifices. Since the miko Risa expressed confidence, it didn't matter to him.
"But I don't know which god Lord Deguang is planning to introduce?"
Miko Risa also breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked cautiously.
"The Goddess of Mao, the Immortal of Six Paths..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said: "If possible, there are also ancestors of the Uchiha clan."
"Of course that's no problem."
Miko Risa said quickly.
This kind of operation is not strange. After all, the family temples and shrines of the daimyo nobles in the ninja world often worship their ancestors in the side hall, so this is also a routine operation.
"But the priority between the Goddess of Mao and the Immortal of Six Paths..."
"The goddess Mao is the main god."
Uchiha Demitsu said directly without thinking.
Although it was a bit strange why the priest was not the Six Paths Sage who was regarded as the "ancestor of ninjas", the miko Risa didn't ask any more questions and just silently noted it down.
The goddess of Ura is Kaguya Otsutsuki who was sealed on the moon. The legend about her has actually been spread throughout the ninja world.
But perhaps someone deliberately modified or obliterated it. There are not many records about the goddess Mao. Even those who worship her as the main god are mostly folk shrines, and most of them regard her as the god of marriage and fertility. On the contrary, other His identity as the source of chakra is unknown.
But as a miko, she shouldn't interfere with the master's choice, so the miko Risa just continued to discuss the festival itself with Uchiha Tokumitsu.
"By the way, this sacrifice will be a blood sacrifice."
Uchiha Tokumitsu added, "Maybe you also know that the village recently captured a group of aliens from Mt. Myoboku and Ryūchi Cave."
"Blood sacrifice...I understand."
Miko Risa suddenly felt a little numb all over, but she didn't dare to say anything more, so she had no choice but to comply.
Fortunately, witches serve ghosts and gods and use their strength to eradicate demons and protect human beings. As long as humans are not used for blood sacrifices, witches generally don't think there is much of a problem.
It's just that Uchiha Tokko used the legendary holy land creatures for blood sacrifices, which really surprised the miko Risa.
"I have another question, can the power of faith of the sacrifice be passed on to the deity who is officiating the sacrifice?"
"The power of the wish is real and true, and the true names of the main gods are correct and real..."
Miko Risa said tactfully.
This means that after performing sacrifices through specific rituals, some kind of mysterious wish can indeed be generated, but whether the god can receive it depends on whether he really exists.
To be honest, even the experienced miko Risa saw this for the first time in her career when she saw a ninja whose power was attributed to him act so "superstitious".
"That'll be fine..."
Uchiha Tokko nodded, thoughtfully.
The reason why he did this was not just to mess around with nothing, but to test the existence of the Goddess Xia Mao and the Immortal of Six Paths through sacrifices.
Even if you can't get any benefits from the goddess of Uo through the blood sacrifice, you can still use the blood of the toads from Mount Miaomu to stimulate the eccentric old man of Six Paths to see what kind of existence he is in now.
After all, Myobokuzan was the ally who originally encouraged and supported Otsutsuki Hagoromo's brothers to rebel against their mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya. Uchiha Tokumitsu also wanted to see how the Six Paths Sage, whose soul was hidden somewhere, would react to this.
Of course, it would be great if we could get some benefits about the origin of blood from the ancestor god Otsutsuki Kaguya through blood sacrifice and the induction of wish power.
"By the way, this is a rendering of the shrine. You can see how the rituals and processes are arranged."
Uchiha Tokko handed over a text.
Miko Risa immediately caught it with both hands, bowed and started reading.
"Your Excellency Deguang, may I ask what this building is..."
Although Uchiha Tokumitsu's design was somewhat different from the common shrines in the ninja world, the miko Risa was able to quickly design a ritual process that was in line with etiquette and law based on her rich experience.
But when she saw a circular high platform on the renderings, she was a little confused.
"Oh~ This is it."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a smile: "I call it the Temple of Heaven."
