Nobunaga Oda's Isekai Cultivation Experience

After discussing a few of the particulars related to his move, Nobu returned to his room alongside Yui and Kiku. There, he found Ayane, Rukia, and Takao waiting for him outside.Before the three girls could bow in concert, Nobu preempted their courtesies by raising his hand and saying, "Yo. Let's head inside."Though Rukia and Takao were a little slow to react, Ayane immediately rose to her feet before looking down at the duo and saying, "I told you so..." in her characteristically delicate yet cool monotone.Hearing Ayane's remark, Nobu continued his approach, asking, "What did you tell them?" in a slightly curious tone.Without any shame whatsoever, Ayane looked back at him and explained, "I told them you didn't like courtesies...should I not have...?"Shaking his head, Nobu answered, "Nah. It's whatever." before opening the door and adding, "Let's go."Though Takao seemed extremely uncomfortable by this turn of events, Rukia simply smiled as she pulled her daughter along. If she could help her daughter win the favor of someone like Nobu, she would be able to spend her last few years in peace. Thus, even if the chances were slim, she wanted to at least try...Unaware of Rukia's thoughts, Nobu made himself comfortable before gesturing for the rest to do the same. At the same time, a feeling of incongruency washed over him as he watched the mother-daughter duo take a seat. This was the first time he was meeting with a pair of women after initially seeing them naked. To make the situation even stranger, they were a pair of mother and daughter, so, while it was arguably more normal to encounter them like this, Nobu actually felt more awkward now than he had in the bath...Noticing Nobu's gaze, an intelligent glimmer flashed across Rukia's eyes before she smiled and asked, "What do you think of Takao's outfit? It's similar to the one I used to wear back when I was still active."As a 'retired' kunoichi, Rukia generally walked around in a relatively modest kimono. As for Takao, she was wearing a surprisingly complex set of equipment, but, like most kunoichi, there was also a considerable amount of skin showing. This included most of her back and sides, so, if you looked at her from the right angle, it was possible to view the 'contents' of her outfit without anything being concealed.Though he did briefly cast his gaze to Takao, Rukia's words reminded Nobu of something, so, while it was generally considered rude to ask someone their age, he didn't hesitate to ask, "How old are you...?" while staring directly at the older yet remarkably youthful-looking woman.Covering her mouth with her sleeve, Rukia giggled playfully before answering, "I just turned 33 this year." without any fear, doubt, or even mild trepidation in her voice. She could easily understand what Nobu was truly asking, but, rather than exhibit fear in front of her daughter, she maintained a perfectly calm and dignified demeanor.Furrowing his brows even further, Nobu remained silent for several seconds as he pulled out the stone tablet and checked the cost to befriend Rukia. His pupils contracted slightly when he saw the value was 13,892,311. Based on the maths he had performed previously, this would put her around Rank 1 Platinum Hero. If what the girls explained was true, this indicated she still had a few years to live, but, at the same time, it showed that she had once been a powerhouse of the Yoshitsune Clan since women apparently lost upwards of 10% of their cultivation base during pregnancy."It's no wonder she gets to live in the main estate..."Though her eyes glistened with a curious light, Rukia didn't ask for clarification since she could feel the hostility radiating from virtually everyone else in the room. She was a kunoichi that specialized in infiltration and assassination so she was especially sensitive to the intentions of others.Deciding to continue the previous topic, Rukia's expression became ostensibly playful as she asked, "Does Nobunaga-dono prefer older women~?"Raising his brows, Nobu met Rukia's gaze, silence permeating the room for several seconds before he ultimately nodded his head and answered, "If I had to pick between brats and matures beauties, I would definitely lean towards the latter. Why do you ask...?"Giggling a second time, Rukia replied, "Oh, no reason. I was just a little curious. Most people would actually choose younger women unless the woman in question has a high cultivation base. After all, it's a lot easier to shape the hearts and minds of younger women than it is to mold someone much older. Most women can't even find a partner after the age of twenty so they end up spending a few years in a brothel just to find a husband."Though he knew she didn't mean to offend him, Nobu couldn't help furrowing his brows when he heard Rukia's words. Twenty wasn't even considered old back in his world. Rather, the average age that most women got married was pretty close to 31. As for men, they would generally wait until they were between 33-35 before settling down as it was considered financially irresponsible to even try to start a family before that...Shaking that thought from his mind, Nobu reminded himself, once again, that this was no longer his world. Then, despite the mildly concerned looks he was receiving from virtually everyone, he looked towards Takao and asked, "When are you leaving on your mission? Do you know what you'll be doing...?"Sitting a little straighter, Takao did her best to appear calm as she answered, "My specialties lay in infiltration and assassination. I don't know the specifics of my mission, but I should be paired with another member from my generational group. We will work together to eliminate a target from a Lesser Noble family. From what I have heard, there has been considerable unrest in the nearby city of Owari-Asai. Unless my duties are required elsewhere, I imagine I will be deployed there."Blinking in surprise, Nobu shifted his attention towards Yui, but, before he could ask, the latter just shook her head ever-so-slightly as if to say, "We'll talk about it later." or "I'm not really sure." Either way, it was clear she didn't think it was a good idea to discuss such matters in front of guests.Though he couldn't resist frowning, Nobu decided not to press the matter as he looked back at Takao and said, "Well...good luck? I'm not really sure what to say in situations like this. If it were up to me, girls your age wouldn't be sent on missions like this. I mean, killing someone just because someone else ordered you to? That's pretty fucked up..."Not expecting someone of Nobu's status to say such a thing, Takao found herself at a momentary loss for words. It had never even occurred to her that someone might consider it strange for her, a kunoichi trained in assassination, to kill on command. Rather, if it were any other Noble, they would either commend or fear her based on her willingness and efficiency...Stepping in before her daughter could become even more muddleheaded, Rukia issued a sonorous giggle before musing, "Nobunaga-dono is quite magnanimous. Not only are you willing to befriend kunoichi outside your personal entourage, but you even go so far as to show consideration towards your enemies. Though my own views differ due to my particular specializations, it's a relief to know there are such kind and caring individuals among the nobility..."As he had never been particularly fond of praise, much less brown-nosing, Nobu had to fight the urge to wince in response to Rukia's words. Even he could tell she was laying it on a little thick, but, after learning more about what it meant to be a kunoichi, her attempts to earn his favor weren't a surprise. She might have other daughters, but Takao was probably the last one she would see grow into a woman...Looking towards the other kunoichi in the room, Nobu didn't have the heart to ask whether or not their mothers were still alive. He was pretty sure that Yui's was already dead based on the fact she had only ever mentioned her older sister and grandmother. As for the rest, well, he had no clue. It hadn't even occurred to him to ask, as, despite the last two days feeling like two whole years, very little time had passed since their introduction.Recalling that Hitomi had said he could interview and personally select staff to help him look after the girls that would invariably be sent his way, an exasperated sigh escaped Nobu's throat before he shook his head and muttered, "Whatever..." before surprising both girls by asking, "How would the two of you like to come and work for me? The Matriarch has given me permission to basically open my own school. I need teachers and teachers' assistants and you're two of the only people I really know in the Yoshitsune Clan at this moment..."Smiling radiantly in response to Nobu's words, Rukia didn't hesitate to lower her head, but, before she could say anything, his voice interjected, saying, "Stop it. I hate all that formality crap. You can bow all you want when the situation calls for it. Just not right now."Though he knew he should be getting used to formalities, it had only been a few days since Nobu revealed his identity. He honestly preferred the way Yui had treated him before. Sure, his life had been a lot more miserable back then, but at least he didn't have to put up with people treating him as though the ground he walked on was somehow sacred. In the end, they were all humans. Since he wouldn't lower his head to others, it felt unbelievably insincere to have other people lower their heads to him.Raising her head, a smile developed across Rukia's face as she answered, "It would be my honor to work alongside Nobunaga-sama. I'm not sure what I can teach outside of infiltration, assassination, and seduction techniques, but I'll do my best."Following her words, Rukia looked towards Takao as if to encourage the latter to do the same. This left Takao feeling more than a little awkward, not because she didn't want to work under Nobu, but because she didn't really know how 'not' to show proper courtesy. All of her training had taught her to revere the Nobility, especially the members of the Oda Clan. Nobu was the first son of their Lord so it just felt wrong not to bow her head...Fortunately, despite her taciturn nature, Takao wasn't a fool. She had also discussed this matter at great length with her mother, so, fearing this was her only chance to improve her position and stay at Nobu's side, she managed to appear unperturbed as she answered, "I won't let you down. Thank you for this opportunity."Returning an awkward smile of his own, Nobu replied, "Don't mention it. I needed people and the two of you just happened to be the first to introduce yourselves. I'll let one of these girls fill you in on the specifics. I'm actually pretty tired so I don't intend to stay up much longer."Realizing he was basically asking them to leave, Rukia and Takao nodded their heads at nearly the exact same time before rising to their feet alongside Kiku. Yui had sent a curt nod towards the latter the moment Nobu mentioned that someone would explain things so it was pretty obvious that she would be the one doing so.With the three girls' departure, only Nobu, Yui, and Ayane were left in the room. This might have given others ideas, but, as he had stated, Nobu was more than a little tired after the surprisingly fruitful day. He also wanted to get a jump start on his personal training, so, after letting his mind wander for a brief moment, he ultimately shook his head and said, "Whatever. I'm going to bed..." in an audibly fatigued tone.........(A/N: Guess Nobu doesn't like the taste of Oyakodon...?)

Despite feeling extremely fatigued, Nobu spent several hours just lying in silence, his mind refusing to rest as he habitually rubbed his feet together.Though his actions were a bit contrary, anyone who had spent time in a cancer ward or around terminally ill patients would be able to empathize with Nobu's current state. He had just learned that everyone around him, specifically those around his age or slightly older than him, were already nearing their ends. This caused him to feel suffocated, but, what made matters even worse was how all the members of the Yoshitsune Clan simply accepted it.As this, and countless other thoughts crossed his mind, Nobu opened his eyes to stare blankly at the ceiling. It was actually quite chilly in the room, yet, in spite of this, his body had produced a tremendous amount of sweat. Some of this could be attributed to Yui sleeping naked at his side, but, more than anything else, it was his restlessness and anxiety causing him to break out into a sweat.Exhaling a sigh, Nobu attempted to silently extricate himself from the blankets, but, as could be expected, his actions hadn't gone unnoticed. Rather, due to how much he had been moving about, Yui hadn't actually gone to sleep yet. Thus, the moment she noticed him trying to exit the blankets, she asked, "Are you okay...?" in a soft tone of voice.Had they been on a normal bed, Nobu would have sat at the side with his back to Yui. Since they were sleeping on a futon, this wasn't really an option, so, after remaining silent for several seconds, he ultimately shook his head and answered, "I don't know..."Though there was a lot he wanted to say, Nobu found himself unable to voice his thoughts. He had never been good at talking about his problems. If he had been, he wouldn't have caused his mother so much stress and anxiety by sneaking out almost every night.As thoughts of his mother once again surfaced in his mind, Nobu found himself hanging his head in his hands. He regretted not talking to her more when he still had the chance. Now that he couldn't, he realized just how much he had been dependent on her. Despite this, he couldn't even remember the last time he let the woman simply hold him. Instead, he would regularly shrug off her affections and tell her to stop treating him like a child..."Fuck..."Though he wasn't crying, Nobu could feel moisture building in his eyes as he covered them with his palms. This caused him to feel even more pathetic and lost than before. Here he was, a grown man feeling homesick as he longed for his mommy. If his flatmates were to see him like this, they would have busted his balls before dragging him off to get drunk and party. That was how the majority of young men in his society dealt with mental health issues. They pretended like they didn't have any, made fun of those that did, and buried their problems beneath drugs, alcohol, sex, and violence...Nobu had never been particularly fond of the taste of sake, so, even if he did want to get wasted and just fuck his problems away, he was more likely to get a stomach ache than an erection. As for why he couldn't just have sex without alcohol...well, it just felt too personal. He just wanted to feel good. He didn't want to feel close to the person he was having sex with.From an objective point of view, this should have meant that Nobu could have sex with any of the girls in his entourage without worry. Unfortunately, despite only two days passing, he now knew too much about them to simply fuck them without feeling. There would have to be something seriously wrong with him if he could fuck a terminally ill patient and just pretend like it meant nothing the following day. Even he wasn't that big an asshole.........Seeing her Lord sitting his head in his hands, Yui felt an emotion that could best be described as helplessness. She wanted to help him but she didn't understand how. Nobu wasn't like a normal person, and, depending on his mood, she risked making things exponentially worse by saying or doing the wrong thing."Fuck..."Hearing Nobu mutter his favorite expletive under his breath, Yui's expression became even more conflicted as a twinge of pain spread through her chest. She hated seeing him like this, and, while it might be a little selfish, she wished he could be stronger. Not for herself, but for all of them. He was the entire reason they had been given birth, so, if he was feeling down and melancholic, it affected each of them, not just himself.Shaking such thoughts from her mind, Yui tentatively approached Nobu before wrapping her arms around his back and resting her head between his shoulder blades. She didn't know what to do but doing nothing felt like the wrong answer. Thus, while thoughts regarding the inordinately large size of his back and shoulders crossed her mind, she just nestled closer to him in the hope of alleviating what ailed him.To Yui's considerable relief, she could feel the tensions in Nobu's body gradually relax even though he kept his head in his hands. What she didn't expect was for him to abruptly turn towards her after several minutes of silence, an uncharacteristically serious look on his face as he said, "I'm going to fuck you..." in a somewhat forceful tone of voice.Though she was more than a little taken aback by her Lord's words and actions, a hint of a smile developed across Yui's face as she intoned an affirmative, "Nn..." before allowing him to push her to the futon.........Witnessing the ostensibly impassioned love-making between Nobu and Yui, Yuriko couldn't help clicking her tongue. She had originally timed her arrival so that she would show up just as Nobu was preparing for bed. She was hoping this would improve the odds of him choosing her as his evening companion, as, ever since their first time together, Nobu had demonstrated a particular fondness for both her and her body.Unfortunately, Yuriko had failed to account for the fact that Nobu might go to sleep even before the sun had set over the horizon. As a result, she ended up having to take over Ayane's position on overwatch, silently observing him from a pin-sized peephole in the ceiling. This wouldn't have been that bad if nothing happened, but, now that she observed Nobu pushing Yui down with the latter's ankles near her head, an impassioned flame had spread through Yuriko's body as feelings of envy swelled within her chest.Though it was considered highly inappropriate for a kunoichi on duty, Yuriko was unable to resist seeking comfort from her own fingers. This did very little to quell the fire in her body, but, at the very least, she could imagine she was the one being pressed beneath her Lord as his inordinately large member gouged out her insides.Finding her fingers inadequate, Yuriko's hawk-like eyes focused on Nobu's member as her silvery aura gradually shaped itself into a shimmering phallus. Her first instinct was to shove it inside the aching cavern concealed beneath her green pants, but, fearing she might ruin herself and lose her Lord's favor, she opted to make use of the unused orifice nearby.Yuriko, like many kunoichi, had a bit of experience when it came to shoving things up her butt. They were trained in sexual matters from a very young age but they were forbidden from actually having sex. This resulted in many young kunoichi, especially those nurtured as seduction and assassination specialists, to become sexually frustrated.To compensate for this, it had become a tradition of sorts for young kunoichi to experiment with each other. Vaginal intercourse was forbidden but everything else was fair game. As a result, many young kunoichi had experience with pegging, the act of using a strap on against others or taking it up the butt. Others, specifically those who couldn't find partners, experimented with the use of toys to satiate their sexual needs.Since Yuriko was the most talented of her generation, excluding Yui, she didn't have a partner she could trust to do the deed with. Instead, she had experimented with shaping her aura into various shapes and sizes in order to pleasure herself. She could even automate the process if she focused, much like how a Golden Warrior could freely manipulate their aura. This time, however, most of her focus was on the scene occurring below, so, with her eye pressed to the peephole, Yuriko began to match her movements with those of her Lord. Fortunately, her aura could also be used to dampen or outright block sounds, so, while Yui was bound to notice something amiss, Yuriko was confident her voice wouldn't leak out.........Though she made a mental note to reprimand Yuriko for dereliction of duty, Yui couldn't actually blame her. Even she had foregone the use of techniques to block out sexual stimulation, so, instead of feeling an unpleasant pressure pushing up her insides, a titillating sensation spread through her abdomen every time Nobu's penis invaded her depths. At the same time, jolts of pleasure ran up her spine, and, instead of dispersing, they settled in her mind like steam condensation, gradually building towards something she both feared and looked forward to.Noticing the impassioned look on his partner's face, Nobu took advantage of Yui's almost ludicrous flexibility to spread her legs wide despite the fact they were already parallel with her head. He got the impression that he could push them even further back if her body and the futon hadn't been in the way, almost as if she had unlimited flexibility.With Yui offering no real resistance, Nobu could freely contort her body in order to try angles that simply weren't possible with the average woman from his world. They would need to be an Olympic gymnast to even have a chance of competing against Yui as she had spent her entire life practicing a form and techniques that allowed her attacks to flow like water. Nobu was, of course, unaware of this. All he knew was that Yui seemed to be enjoying herself a lot more than usual, so, even though each of his movements made his back tingle from the assault of her insides, he was doing his best not to cum before she did.Back in his previous world, Nobu never really cared about his partner's pleasure. All he really cared about was getting off a few times before going to sleep. Yui was only the third girl he was actively trying to make cum as her current behavior was drastically different from the emotionless 'facade' she had worn during the vast majority of their previous intercourses. There was a chance that she was just putting on an act, but, seeing her eyes tremble every time he gently prodded the entrance to her womb, he wanted to believe her reaction was sincere.What Nobu didn't expect was for Yui to suddenly link her arms around his neck, pulling him closer so that she could kiss his lips. This caused all his actions to stop, both because he had been pulled off balance and because this was their first kiss. He had gone out of his way not to kiss her when he was treating her injuries, and, even when they were having sex, there was always a certain 'distance' between them. Now, however, Yui had been the one to initiate the kiss, surprising both of them as the realization of what she had done washed over her mind. Fortunately for them both, Nobu didn't show any real aversion to this sudden display of affection. Rather, after the initial shock wore off, he traced his tongue along the divide of her lips before taking the lead to initiate a much deeper kiss.........(A/N: Nobu needs a therapist o_o...)

If he were being honest, Nobu was a little creeped out when Cho mentioned placing 'extra love' into the dishes. Despite this, he still enjoyed the food quite a bit. After all, even if she did place something 'extra' inside, it didn't really matter so long as he didn't know what it was."Thanks. It was delicious..."Amused by her Lord's awkwardness, Cho covered her mouth with her sleeve, giggling before sending a playful wink his way and teasing, "Don't worry. I would never befoul my Lord's meal by adding anything strange. My happiness is your ability to eat without worry..."Punctuating her statement with one of the most radiant smiles Nobu had ever seen, the latter found himself seriously considering apologizing. Instead, he just watched as Cho bowed low enough that her breasts nearly spilled out, wholly unable to speak until she had departed with his empty plates in hand..."That woman is dangerous...""My Lord...?"Hearing Yui's voice, Nobu shifted his attention towards her, confusion visible in his face until his mind fully processed why she had called out to him.Waving his hand in a dismissive gesture, Nobu said, "Nah, it's nothing bad. It's hard to explain, but it was basically a compliment.""Oh...I see..."Though she didn't really understand Nobu's way of speaking at times, Yui didn't doubt he was telling the truth. Thus, rather than press the issue, she changed the topic of discussion, asking, "What are your plans for the rest of the evening? Should we prepare for a bath or are you still going to be meeting with Rukia-dono and Takao-san...?"Remembering his promise to the mother-daughter duo, Nobu's face formed into a frown as he shook his head and said, "I'm not really in the mood to be gawked at like a circus freak. If they want to stop by, I don't mind meeting them. I just don't feel like taking a bath right now."Nodding her head, Yui's gaze flickered towards Ayane for a brief moment. In response, the latter returned a nod of her own before promptly disappearing into the ceiling above. This time, however, she moved much slower than normal so that Nobu was able to perceive her departure.Following Ayane's departure with his eyes, Nobu fell silent for a brief moment before shaking his head a second time and asking, "Where is Yuriko? I haven't seen her ever since she left this morning. Don't tell me she went on a mission or something..."Having anticipated this question for quite some time, a smile developed across Yui's face as she explained, "Today was Rynka's and Shizune's final evaluation. As the kunoichi assigned to oversee their mission, Yuriko's presence was requested. She should be returning shortly after the sun sets."Though he wasn't particularly upset, Nobu couldn't help wincing when he imagined Rynka and Shizune becoming kunoichi. He didn't really know much about the former, but the latter gave off a very spoiled, borderline intolerable vibe. She had clearly received special treatment compared to other kunoichi, and, while he could understand the reasons why, Nobu was still far from truly forgiving her. He might never.Noticing the discomfort visible in her Lord's expression, Yui was about to say something when he suddenly interjected, saying, "Don't worry about it. I just get a little pissed whenever I think back to what happened in the forest..."Shaking his head clear of such thoughts, Nobu was seriously considering taking a nap when a muted sound emanated from outside his door. It hadn't even been a few minutes since Ayane left, so, unless they had literally been waiting nearby for his invitation, it couldn't be Rukia and her daughter."I come bearing a message for Nobunaga-dono. The Matriarch has requested his presence in the main hall. Please attend at your earliest convenience..."Without waiting for Nobu's response, the voice and presence from behind the door vanished without a trace."Annoying..."Smiling wryly in response to Nobu's grumbling, Yui attempted to defend her Grandmother by saying, "I'm certain this is a good thing. Your abilities are unlike anything I have ever seen or heard of. Grandmother wouldn't let anything happen to you."Rolling his eyes, Nobu rose to his feet and said, "Whatever. Let's just get this over with..."......After a quick journey through the main estate, Nobu found himself in a much larger room than the one he had met Hitomi in previously. It was almost like a throne room, but, instead of anything more ornate, the most extravagant seat in the hall was basically just a cushion on top of a slightly elevated platform.Unsurprisingly, this centermost seat was occupied by Hitomi. She wasn't the only one present in the room, however. There were six other ornate seats in the wide and open chamber, three on each side of a central aisle. Four were occupied by remarkably beautiful women while the other two, one appearing far more ornate than the other, were currently empty."You arrived much sooner than I expected. For that, you have our gratitude..."Tearing his eyes away from the big-tittied woman smoking a pipe with a seductive look on her face, Nobu met Hitomi's gaze and answered, "No problem. I didn't really have anything going on right now..."Though his words were far more casual than the situation mandated, Nobu was doing his best to at least sound civil as he approached the final seat, a relatively simple-looking mat set in the center of the hall. There was also a small table with tea and snacks on it, but, other than taking a quick glance, Nobu didn't bother himself with them as he sat down with a grunt and crossed his legs.Under normal circumstances, behavior like Nobu's wouldn't be tolerated. After what Hitomi had revealed, however, each of the Elders present were far more interested in his actions than offended by them. He was basically someone from a different world, and, while he was undoubtedly their Young Lord, he possessed powers and abilities that made him invaluable, not just to the Yoshitsune Clan, but the entire Archipelago.Feeling the eyes of everyone present focused on him, a slight frown marred Nobu's face as he said, "I hope you didn't invite me here just to be stared at..."Covering her mouth with her sleeve, Hitomi issued a light giggle before shaking her head and saying, "Worry not, Waka-chan. We did not call you here without reason. Rather, we wanted to inform you of some good news."Though he was briefly distracted by Suzune waving at him from the corner of his eyes, Nobu quickly regained his focus when he heard Hitomi's words, brows raised slightly as he asked, "Okay? Lay it on me."Raising her own brows at the unfamiliar turn of phase, Hitomi resisted the urge to ask as she went on to explain, "We have discussed the matter in great detail and come to a consensus regarding our previous conversation. In summary, we have decided that, so long as you live among us, we will do our best to ensure that none of our younger generation are sent away on less desireable missions. Specifically, we would ask that you use your ability to ascertain whether or not certain members of our clan possess unique abilities or bloodlines. For each new bloodline discovered, we will provide you with additional resources while also doing our best to facilitate any and all requests you might have."Frowning in response to Hitomi's words, Nobu crossed his arms and asked, "What if I ask you to let them choose a different path? Something other than becoming a kunoichi?"Having already anticipated this question, Hitomi maintained her characteristically confident smile as she answered, "Our clan focuses on rearing kunoichi, not because we want to, but because it is necessary for our survival. If you can help our girls pursue additional paths, we will support that decision to the best of our ability. However, you must have a realistic plan to achieve your goals. Sentiment can only take you so far and we cannot squander resources on those without the ambition or drive to make use of them..."Though he didn't agree with everything Hitomi was saying, Nobu ultimately nodded his head in response, saying, "Yeah, sure. Just don't go sending off children to become prostitutes and shit. That kind of thing makes me sick..."Nodding her head in affirmation, Hitomi adopted a far more serious tone as she said, "I am a woman of my word. So long as you reside within the territories of the Yoshitsune Clan, we will not send our children away to receive that kind of training..."Punctuating her words, Hitomi performed a hand seal that resulted in a buxom kunoichi to appear with an infant bundled in her arms. Then, before Nobu could even think to ask, Hitomi explained, "A few of my fellow Elders still have doubts regarding the abilities you purport to possess. I know this is a bit sudden, but it would go a long way towards allaying any concerns they might have if you can demonstrate your ability in front of them. To that end, I have asked that one of our recently born daughters be brought in. Please tell us everything you are able to ascertain from observing her..."Though he was tempted to refuse, Hitomi's previous warnings were still fresh in Nobu's mind. He was also doing his best to at least appear calmer and more confident, so, despite frowning quite a bit, he ultimately answered, "Fine. I don't appreciate being put on the spot like this but I'll make an exception this time. Just keep in mind that I'll be charging you for each future use. This ability literally consumes my cultivation base so I'm not going to spam it just because you want to test me."Seeing, not just Hitomi, but all of the Elders nod their heads, Nobu shifted his attention to the buxom kunoichi, awkwardness swelling within him as she promptly proferred him the baby in her arms. He didn't actually need to be in contact with the person he was scanning, but, now that he thought about it, Nobu realized there was quite a bit of merit to keeping the specifics of his ability a secret...------------------------------------Name: Yoshitsune JyubeiAge: 19 daysGender: Female, H:49.3cm, W: 4.8kg, B: 42.2cm, W: 43.1cm, H: 41.9cmBlood Type: O+Cultivation: N/AAura Units: 8/10Status: Cursed(+), Hungry(+), Sleepy(+)-Cursed by the Goddess Inari Okami: Probably of bearing daughters increased to 99.5%.

She is 19 days old, weighs 4.8kg, and has a Blood Type of O+. Her current Aura amount is 10 and she is currently both sleepy and hungry. As for special bloodlines, she would be normal if not for the Curse affecting your entire Clan..."Hearing Nobu's explanation, the Elders present, Suzune especially, felt varying degrees of excitement. His ability was a lot more comprehensive than they had anticipated. They even suspected he wasn't telling them everything, but, rather than press him for more, they just nodded in approval when Hitomi passed her gaze over each of them in turn.Seeing each of the Elders nod, a smile developed across Hitomi's face as she returned her attention to Nobu and said, "On behalf of the entire Yoshitsune Clan, let me be the first to say that I'm looking forward to a long and healthy cooperation with Waka-no, Nobunaga-sama..."To indicate her sincerity, Hitomi bowed forward, an action promptly repeated by everyone else in the hall. This made Nobu feel more than a little uncomfortable, but, understanding this was probably the 'ideal' outcome, he forced a smile and answered, "Yeah...sure thing..." in an audibly awkward tone.........(A/N: Nobu's ability makes Information Elders moist (UwU)...)
