Since we want to further study natural energy, the laboratory naturally needs to be more formal.
"What happens here cannot be known to outsiders, and the procurement of research equipment must also be done in secret."
Liuli looked very serious.
The matter of senjutsu was too important, not to mention outsiders, even members of the Uchiha clan, Liuli did not intend to reveal anything about it.
"But if we don't let those maids help, it will be difficult for the two of us..."
Just as Shiraishi was about to be embarrassed, Liuli put his thumb in his mouth and bit it, then began to form seals, and finally pressed his palm to the ground with a snap.
"Psychic art!"
There was a bang and white smoke came out.
A black cat appeared in front of Baishi and Liuli.
About half the size of a human, it wagged its tail at Liuli.
Liuli took out a list showing the names of various research equipment.
"Buy all the above items and I will accept them one day later."
The black cat nodded decisively and disappeared into white smoke with a bang.
Shiraishi looked at the place where the black cat disappeared: "That's..."
"We Uchiha have always been on good terms with the Ninja Cat clan. Before I went to school, I signed psychic contracts with some of the Ninja Cats. Let them do their work safely and discreetly, avoiding the eyes and ears of the village."
The Ninja Cat Clan is active in inconspicuous corners of the Ninja World. There are more or less shadows of the Ninja Cat Clan everywhere. Whether it is to inquire about information or purchase goods, their actions are first-rate.
For Liuli, the ninja cat who signed a psychic contract with her is undoubtedly her most effective assistant.
Shiraishi sighed at Liuli's connections. This is the difference between wealthy families and common people.
Not only does he have his own complete training system, but he also has a variety of information books for reference, as well as a wider network of contacts than ordinary people.

The matter of staying at Liuli's house did not cause any trouble. For the whole village, it was an insignificant matter.
Now Shiraishi lives in a room comparable to a high-end hotel every day, sleeps on a luxurious and soft bed, eats a nutritious breakfast carefully prepared by the maids in the morning, and when he is tired, he can go for a walk in the yard and fish in the pond. He is a servant in Liuli's family, but he is actually serving as a young master.
While living in the wealthy eldest daughter's home, life was boring and ordinary.
Although he occasionally received strange looks of disdain from the maid in Ruri's house, Shiraishi took it indifferently.
He worked hard and got a job based on his true ability. What do these maids know?
Now Shiraishi can only practice with Liuli once in a while. As soon as school is over, he will rush back to the underground laboratory Liuli purchased for him to study and guide natural energy.
Only by successfully guiding natural energy stably can the next step of magical chakra fusion be carried out.
For this reason, there were frequent explosions underground at Liuli's house. Although the fluctuations were very small, Liuli made the surroundings of the laboratory more stable for complete secrecy until the vibrations caused by the explosions were no longer felt above.
These sophisticated experimental instruments, including the reinforcement of the laboratory environment, use defensive shields shipped from the Kingdom of Iron.
According to Liuli, a total of 45 million taels were spent on these, accounting for one-tenth of the pocket money in her bank account.
Baishi just wanted to know what kind of small business Liuli's parents were running outside to allow Liuli to live such an ordinary life.

The day when the first month of living in Liuli’s house ended.
Shiraishi returned to the laboratory after school in the afternoon and continued to do research related to natural energy, while Ruri went to the Nanga Shrine in Uchiha to participate in the monthly family gathering.
The Uchiha members participating in the clan meeting are not ordinary Uchiha clan members. Opening the Sharingan is only one of the prerequisites. It also requires a special ninja strength of jounin or above, or a genius such as Ruri, whom the family focuses on cultivating. , an outstanding member who has a high probability of inheriting the position of clan leader in the future.
Ruri is not only a genius of Uchiha, but is also being trained as one of the candidates for the next clan leader.
Therefore, she is eligible to participate in the monthly small clan meeting.
Nanga Shrine.
An Uchiha ninja gathered here. The sky was dark, and the torches on both sides of the road were lit. You could clearly see the road leading to the top of the shrine.
Arriving at the top of Nanga Shrine, entering the shrine building, using magic to open the sealed stone slab, the Uchiha ninjas walked down one after another.
In the empty basement, an ancient stone tablet stood, with fire burning on both sides, illuminating the dark basement.
There are more than twenty people gathered here, all of them are special jounin, or jounin, who are currently staying in the clan area. There are also some jonin who are not here because they are on missions outside, so they can only be absent.
In fact, nothing important was announced at the monthly clan meeting. The relationship between Uchiha and the village Hokage was still harmonious.
Except for some individual high-level officials, they will be dissatisfied or hostile to Uchiha.
But the Uchiha clan would not pay attention to those looks with fear and disgust.
As the number one ninja clan in Konoha, they have this kind of confidence.
Even the Hokage has to give them three points, let alone those higher-ups who are even weaker than the Hokage.
The clan meeting deals with trivial matters, such as where the training ground is broken, whether there have been more complaints from Konoha villagers against the police force recently, and whether there are any new good seedlings in the clan worth cultivating. This month’s expenses are higher than last year. How have the months been? Has the clan’s property income increased?
An hour later, the clan meeting ended in a long and boring rhythm.
"Liu Li, Fugaku, you stay."
An old man with gray hair spoke. He was in his sixties and his face was covered with wrinkles.
Uchiha everywhere.
He is the most famous elder in the Uchiha family. Due to his old age, he has retired from the ninja career and lives in the rear, shouldering the important task of cultivating the talented ninjas of the Uchiha family.
Also stopped along with Liuli was an Uchiha ninja who was seventeen or eighteen years old - Uchiha Fugaku.
He has a handsome appearance, and there is no trace of immaturity on his face, giving him a mature and steady demeanor.
Fugaku, like Ruri, is a genius ninja of the Uchiha clan. Last year, he passed the Jonin examination and became an outstanding and young Jonin.
In addition, his Sharingan is at the level of three magatama, and his advantage is very obvious when facing jounin of the same level.
Liuli and Fugaku knelt down in front of Elder Sifang, waiting quietly for him to speak.
"If nothing else happens, the next clan leader will be chosen between the two of you."
"yes."
Hearing what Elder Sifang said, Liuli and Fugaku didn't change their expressions.
"You two are undoubtedly the rare geniuses of our Uchiha since ancient times, and you have the possibility of opening the Mangekyo Sharingan."
Ruri and Fugaku became slightly moved when they heard the elders from the four directions mentioning the name of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The Mangekyo Sharingan is the ultimate eye that surpasses the three Magatama Sharingan.
The older one cannot be verified. The most recent Uchiha ninja who opened the Mangekyō Sharingan was Madara Uchiha who founded the Leaf Village with the first Hokage Senju Hashirama.
Those are legendary eyes that can only be opened by Uchiha, mastering the supreme eye technique.
Elder Shifang is the most senior elder of the Uchiha clan today. He was already a Jonin in the village during the early days of Konoha's founding. He may not know all the secrets of Uchiha, but he definitely knows more than most Uchiha clan members. .
This includes the secret of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Elder Sifang, what are the conditions for opening the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
It was Fugaku who asked this question.
His Sharingan has reached the third magatama level, which is the highest level of ordinary Sharingan. He is more eager than Ruri to know how to advance the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Only in this way can he become the leader of Uchiha without fail and lead Uchiha to new heights.
He feels that he is now strong enough to access the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Fugaku, your Sanmagatama Sharingan training is not enough. You still need to continue to refine it. In a few days, I will recommend you to the Third Hokage and let you form a team with other Konoha ninjas to perform tasks. There you will Benefited a lot.”
"yes."
Fugaku obeyed. His strength was all taught by Elder Sifang, and he was extremely convinced of Elder Sifang's arrangement.
He must have his considerations in making this arrangement.
"Elder Sifang, what should I do?"
Liuli asked.
"You have better luck than Fugaku. You have found the conditions to open the Mangekyō Sharingan. Next, you only need to temper the ordinary Sharingan to the limit. When the time is right, I will open the Mangekyō Sharingan. I’ll tell you how.”
The elders from Sifang looked at Liuli with some deep meaning.
He values Liuli more than Fugaku.
Her deep bond with the village ninja, her persistence in power, and her unparalleled talent in using the Sharingan...
At that time, in order to gain the strongest power, she would definitely not be able to resist the temptation of the legendary pupil technique and make the right choice.
At that time, the Uchiha clan will once again prosper and completely surpass the Senju clan.
"yes."
I was very confused as to why Elder Shifang said that she had more conditions to activate the Mangekyo Sharingan than Fugaku, and that she only needed to train the ordinary Sharingan to the limit, but Liuli did not think deeply and just nodded, indicating that she understood.
She is more interested in the method of opening the Mangekyō Sharingan than the position of clan leader.
