Chapter 90.6- One Thousand Hands

I turned to the coin on my desk, picking it up and running my chakra through it before moving to my private council room. I’d gotten the idea for the coins from another piece of media from my last life. The fuinjutsu itself to mimic to Dumbledore Army coins had turned out to be even more difficult than basically everything other than the Hiraishin I’d done before. And for the hiraishin, I’d had more or less a full step by step instruction guide so could I really call it my seal? Mattered little, though. I’d made the technique mine.

I felt my chakra swell and increase by nearly two thirds as I received a flow of memories. One of my clones have figured out that using targeted bits of wind manipulation to steer was better than shooting off gusts in the opposite direction for smaller and more precise movements while under the influence of the light weight jutsu. Lovely. That should mean the others will get even more experience flying and doing it well. None had dispelled from the other group yet but that was fine. It didn’t mean no progress. Just nothing that needed to be shared with everyone else, post-haste.

Uzume was the first to walk through the door. “What’s happened this time?” She asked as she did so and spotted me lounging on a couch in the corner of the room.

“Suna. The Kazekage is on his way”

“You didn’t invite him” She said.

“Yes, I did not invite him”

“Want me to kill him for you?”

“I don’t think killing the Kazekage is a particularly good idea” Shika said, walking into the room next. She spotted the couch and made a beeline for it. I said nothing as she practically sprawled herself over me. Uzume humphed, narrowing her eyes at the Nara head. Had no idea she wanted to kill the Kazekage that much. Was she jealous? Well, that would make some sense. I’d beaten two Kage, and the fight against Ay was basically a draw so you could consider that two and a half, to her none. Hmm. Maybe I’d let her fight the Kazekage this time so she could get her numbers up.

“I’m tired, Shori. Think you can avoid calling meetings so early in the morning moving forward?”

“It’s 11 am” I said, deadpan.

“Exactly.” She said, before yelping as Uzume grabbed a hold of my hand, pulling me off the chair.

“Fine, fine. Let’s get things started” I said, as Inoken, Toshiro, and Reiji walked in bare seconds after each other, carrying on a conversation about…something. It seemed to be gossip about some jounin that had been caught dating five different chunin at the same time.

“Okay, everyone. Game faces. Look alive” I said, sending a jolt of lightning chakra towards Shikahime. Her shadow rose from the ground, intercepting the tiny bolt even while she looked to be asleep and she practically crawled off the couch to her seat at the table.

“The Kazekage has chosen to grace us with his presence. The village must be prepared in case things turn hostile. While I doubt we will need a full evacuation, Reiji, the barrier must be at full power. Do you think you can expand from identification to full entry denail?” He started doing some calculations in his mind.

“If we conscript the older Uzumaki and get your Grandmother to help with adapting the present barrier to reduce the strain as much as possible, we should be able to something like that for four hours at the maximum” He said.

“Brilliant. Now Shikahime constant threat analysis of the Suna group once they arrive, and have your clansmen and Inoken’s work on evacuating the homes closest to the walls. Just a precautionary measure.“ And the hour ran down like that, making plans for the worst case scenario.

A/N: Shori adds a new weapon to his arsenal. While things move forwards. As for the shadow clone thing, while no one actually can say Naruto’s limits, most people estimate it to be in the tens of thousands (some say millions). Shori’s not quite at that level as we can see— on account of not being Ninja Jesus and all.
