[Hokage] It's not a crow's mouth

"Hello, Tono-kun, here!" Liuli greeted with a smile.

The thin young man with square eyes trembled slightly, as if he was not used to the lively atmosphere of the izakaya, and walked towards her carefully avoiding the crowd.

"Matsu, Matsumoto-san..." Tohno Yoshisuke whispered nervously, "You came here to find me..."

"Ah, it's nothing special, you don't have to be so nervous." Liuli quickly waved her hand, motioning for him to sit down, "Just chatting casually, don't be too restrained, what do you want to eat?"

"Uh, ah, I don't have anything in particular I want to eat..." Tohno Yoshisuke sat down a little awkwardly.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's my fault. You probably haven't been to this kind of place before?" Liuli immediately showed an apologetic expression, "The plum wine here is strongly recommended by the store, and the accompanying dishes are also made by the store itself. Can you drink?"

"That... just a little bit." Tohno Hosuke still seemed a little nervous.

"Then follow my preference first. I will prepare an extra non-alcoholic drink for you. If you are afraid of getting drunk, you don't have to force it." Liuli asked quite friendly, "Is there anything you should not drink?"

"Well, I'm not very good at spicy food." Tohno Yoshisuke replied in a low voice.

"Oh, yes." Liuli responded with a nod, and raised her voice, "Miss Chiyo—"

After ordering plum wine and appetizers for two, Ruri turned to Fangsuke Tono and asked, "Well, Tono-kun is in charge of the humanoid puppet project that we cooperated with the medical class three years ago and the ninjutsu seal that started a year ago. Is it the right item?"

"Yes..." Tohno Yoshisuke nodded hesitantly, "Is there any problem found during the project review?"

"No, no, this meeting is not so serious," Liuli waved his hand quickly, and said with a smile, "it's just a little bit of my personal interest. What is the specific expected effect of this project? Using ninjutsu as a seal technique Can the form be stored and made into an effect similar to the detonating talisman?"

"Yes, the original idea was like this, but many obstacles were discovered during the specific research process." Tohno pushed his glasses, and when he mentioned his professional field, he immediately speeded up his speech. "On the one hand, it is the cost issue." , the currently designed barrier needs to consume a lot of chakra. If it is to seal ninjutsu below S level, it will not be worth the loss. On the other hand, there is the problem of carrying the sealing scroll. The volume of the scroll is too large to achieve the unexpected effect. Not to mention, it is easy to become the first target of the enemy's attack."

Liuli nodded understandingly, "Is there no problem with the strength of the sealing array?"

"The strength of the currently designed sealing barrier is about S-level ordinary ninjutsu. Some special types of ninjutsu have not yet found a suitable sealing method. Ninjutsu above S-level can easily destroy the stability of the barrier. , the scroll will be blown up." Tohno Kakasuke silently pushed his glasses.

"That's it, it hasn't entered the applicable stage at all..." Liuli rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Tohno Yoshisuke became a little anxious, "Well...Although there has been no substantial progress, the application prospect of this project is quite broad, but it will take some time now."

"Now it's mainly about the funding of the research class..." Liuli sighed faintly, and smiled at him again, "Don't worry, I'm just like you, and I'm very optimistic about the future of this project. I'll go back to After negotiating with Hokage-sama, you just need to do research with peace of mind. After all, those of us who are leaders should work hard to ensure your research environment and results!"

Hearing this, Tohno Yoshisuke breathed a sigh of relief, and showed her a grateful look.

Liuli strikes while the iron is hot and continues, "Speaking of which, have you considered introducing mechanization? If the process of breaking the seal can be completed by introducing machinery, will this speed advantage speed up the applicability of the project?"

"Introducing machinery? That's right! Why didn't I think of this method before? The refinement of mechanical parts is much easier than changing the seal array!" Tohno Yoshisuke almost jumped up, his eyes sparkling, "Matsumoto-san, You are simply a genius!"

The corner of Liuli's mouth twitched, watching Tohno Katasuke immediately enter the research state, asked the clerk for a pen and paper, and began to write and draw.Liuli felt it was funny, but she also had some subtle nostalgia, so she didn't bother him, and enjoyed herself while pouring and drinking.

The two pots of plum wine had bottomed out, Liuli rubbed her forehead and didn't want to drink any more, she quietly called the clerk over to pay the bill, while Fangsuke Tono said, "Matsumoto-san, come and see this sealing array driving device..." He raised his head, Then I was stunned, "Ah, Matsumoto-san... I, did I waste your time too much? I'm sorry, I forgot the occasion when I started researching... I'm really sorry!"

Liuli couldn't help laughing, and comforted, "It's okay, I'm glad to give you some advice on your research. Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

"Ah, it seems a little..." Tohno Yoshisuke stroked his stomach belatedly.

"Then go eat Yile Ramen. I treat you to celebrate your new progress in research." Liuli smiled and stood up to signal him.

Tohno Kakashisuke responded honestly, got up and cleaned up the draft papers all over the table, and followed Liuli out of the gate of Tsuruta Izakaya.Being blown by the cold wind, his IQ seemed to come back a little, "Um... isn't it too late for you today?"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's already this time." Liuli smiled nonchalantly, "I also really want to hear about your new ideas, and it just happens to save you from reporting to me tomorrow."

"Well, okay." Fangsuke Tono is obviously not very good at getting along with people, and he was easily led away by Liuli, "The operation of unlocking the sealing array is very simple, plus the rare In terms of ore, this part of the machinery can actually be made into a very small device. In this case, the only technical difficulty is how to reduce the size of the sealing scroll."

"No, if this project takes shape, the ninjutsu sealing array must be mass-produced and popularized. If rare ores are used, the goal will not be achieved. This design must be changed." Liuli immediately vetoed his idea.

"Well, popularized in large quantities, right? If that's the case..."

The two were walking and talking, when a gloomy female voice suddenly came from behind, "Tohno? Why are you still outside so late?"

coming!Liuli immediately cheered up, the main event of tonight is finally here!
