It was a monopoly on unique services, allowing them to dictate their own terms to their clients. At least it's clear why they didn't like Uzumaki, who were charging exorbitant rates for their services. With all the consequences.
The owner of the house led me to the basement, where there was a new, small room two by two meters, as agreed in advance. In the very center stood a stone pillar, on which I placed a metal cube, previously extracted from the captivity of chains and cloth. The engraved and inked symbols and seals on each side were barely visible, but that would soon change.
After that, I melted the chain around the perimeter with a doton, so that it protruded a little from the walls, at the level of two palms from the floor, and attached the previously prepared seal to a narrow plate hanging right in the middle of the doorway. The walls and ceiling were covered with other, larger ones, and then I attached chakra threads to them and activated them with a single pulse.
The next thing that followed was a show for the customer - glowing symbols and hieroglyphs crawled from the papers, and after a couple of moments they covered the whole room and even the pedestal. As soon as they reached the cube, the seals that had flashed on the storage device became part of the general system and moved, and a protective barrier appeared and disappeared for a moment along the perimeter of the chain.
The burned paper crumbled from the plate, leaving behind the kanji "lock" and the whole light performance ended, extinguished and turned into numerous inscriptions throughout the room. Only the cube continued to shimmer with the color of my chakra on the engraving. I could do without the effects, but if it looks great, why change anything?
I put my hand on the storage device, put half of my reserve into it, and checked the response. Everything was normal and the defense deployment was normal. Now I just need to place the anchors in the prepared places and I can put it into working mode. Nodding to myself, I carefully stepped over the chain and nodded to Hatake, who was watching curiously.
- Everything went well and the storage unit's protection is ready, now I just need to drop your blood on the plate and add chakra for the first activation, - I began to explain to the customer, - after that no one will pass here, and new persons can be added to the exceptions in a similar way, but only within thirty seconds after providing blood and chakra of the first user.
- Enter here in the same manner? - Sakumo asked.
- No, the protection knows the chakra and will just let you into the drive," I shook my head, "but first I'll set the anchors, then the drive must receive the host's chakra for full activation, and then the protection must be activated.
- And how to control it?
- I took out three simple rings made of quality chakra-conducting metal and gave them to the shinobi, - the control is intuitive and is carried out in the protected area and around ten meters from the anchors, at a greater distance - only alarm messages.
