After a month, the establishment began to bring in a steady income, as well as a very large number of rumors about the court of the Daimyo, more than recouped all the costs. No, it was a good idea, but to become a pimp!? I wouldn't do it myself, despite the obvious advantages. Now it's safe to say that the kage bunshins that are in the bodies of kage bunshins are beginning to change, acquiring a different worldview, even if they remain completely faithful.
However, didn't I want to have just such spies, unrelated to me in any way? However, the thought that was running through my mind was to get at least one Kanpeki Ningyo to infiltrate Akatsuki, which a chunin who took the name Araki would not be able to do, but information about the political situation in the country would not be superfluous.
The same could be said of the two-meter tall, bald, former Iwa jonin, Takada had become a monk. No, not as an end to his shinobi activities, but with a long-range plan to become a traveling monk and under that guise to be in the Mists during the civil war in order to steal from the zombified Kage as many kekkei genkai bearers as possible, in the future completely annihilated or reduced to the pitiful state of one or two representatives.
It may be a long-range plan, very long-range I must admit, with a lot of pitfalls, but if it all works out, the Mei who won the war will owe this man a great deal. Other options are possible, all very tasty to me, but it requires patience and trying to keep the puppet afloat for at least the next ten years. That's why I've subjected their bodies to deeper enhancements than my own, so my creatures have more survivability than the average shinobi.
As for the last of the trio, he took a slightly different path. Kumo, a former jonin, had joined the guard of a wealthy aristocrat, and during his time as a mercenary he had gained some fame as the commander of his team and the strongest among them. Given the predisposition of the basis for the technique to rayton and the use of the sword, as well as the general similarity in size and body structure with me, this is not surprising.
But that's not the point, but having a little more than a dozen similar "colleagues" and the time to train with them. Considering the term of the contract - five years - it's not bad conditions for gaining experience and developing myself without too much danger. In general, Hiroshi found himself a very comfortable place, if it were not for social events and attention of exotic ladies of not the first freshness.
Not all aristocracy keeps themselves in shape, but they do not refuse to eat well. The possibility of reaching the S class in the Book of the Search hardly pays for such inconveniences, but the fat bodies of women over forty trying to flirt with the clone will give me nightmares.
One out of three isn't enough, but making one or two more Kanpeki Ningyo is too hard. Not in terms of creation, there's nothing wrong with this type of technique, but to increase the strain on the mind. I already have a lot of kage bunshins, as well as shadow clones and puppets, and if I add a couple more to the mix, I can get a lot of strain. The brain is a fragile and complex thing, so it's best not to take any chances. Of course, gradually the limit of assimilated memories grows, subjected to strong stress, but not as fast as I would like.
