Chapter 24 Kushina and Mito, the Book of Sealing of the Uzumaki Clan
March is a special month for the major ninja villages in the ninja world.
At the end of this month every year, a new batch of ninja numbers will appear in the ninja village's archives.
Therefore, this month is also known as graduation season.
3 month 19 day.
That evening, the atmosphere at Dazhuzi's house was quite lively.
At Tsunade's instruction, the chef prepared a sumptuous dinner.
At the dining table, Tsunade poured a glass of juice for Nawaki and Kushina Uzumaki, then smiled at Nawaki and asked, "Nawaki, tomorrow is your graduation exam. Are you feeling any pressure?"
"Of course not! I'm the grandson of the First Hokage who founded Konoha!"
Nawaki, who looks remarkably like Naruto Uzumaki, gave himself a thumbs-up, grinned, and said confidently, "Becoming a genin is just the beginning for me! My dream is to inherit the title of Hokage, just like my grandfather and great-grandfather."
"That's well said. A real man always keeps his word." Tsunade rested her chin on her hand, looking at Nawaki with eyes full of affection, and then smiled as she revealed some information, "However, to become a true genin, passing the academy's graduation exam is only the first step. The most important hurdle is the test of instructing a jonin."
"Only by passing the test of instructing a Jonin can you be considered a true Genin and take the first step towards becoming Hokage."
"Otherwise, even if you are the grandson of the First Hokage, you will be forced to go back to the academy for retraining."
At this point, Tsunade encouraged Nawaki, saying, "If you can pass the test to become a Jonin instructor, I'll give you a graduation gift."
"Then you can start preparing, sister."
Nawaki's spirited demeanor is something that the original Naruto Uzumaki could never possess, but it is extremely similar to Boruto Uzumaki.
Upon hearing the words "graduation gift," Kushina Uzumaki, who was quietly shoveling rice into her mouth, suddenly seemed to remember something, her eyes flashing as she looked at Mito Uzumaki, who was sitting in the main seat.
Coincidentally, Mito Uzumaki's gaze did not fall on her grandson, but she smiled as she looked at Kushina Uzumaki.
Kushina Uzumaki, feeling as if her inner thoughts had been read, instinctively lowered her head and continued eating.
However, after dinner, Kushina Uzumaki hesitated for a long time before finally mustering the courage to go to Mito Uzumaki's room.
Seeing that Mito Uzumaki wasn't lying down to rest, but instead sitting on the edge of the bed, seemingly waiting for her, Kushina Uzumaki avoided her gaze, looking down at her toes, and whispered, "Mito... Lady Mito, could you teach me the technique to unseal the seal?"
"Child, you don't need to feel embarrassed, because it is something that belongs to you." Mito Uzumaki comforted her with a smile, "Compared to me, an old woman who should belong to another family, you, as the last spark and hope of the Uzumaki clan, are the most suitable person to take it over."
After saying that, Mito Uzumaki beckoned to Kushina Uzumaki: "Child, come and chat with this old woman for a while."
Kushina Uzumaki immediately and cautiously walked up to Mito Uzumaki.
Mito Uzumaki raised her hand and placed it on Kushina's head, stroking her scalp as she asked, "Child, do you know why you were sent here?"
"Um."
Kushina Uzumaki nodded and replied, "The clan head said that I possessed powerful chakra capable of suppressing the Nine-Tails when I was very young. When he asked that ninja to take me away, he also said that I was the best Jinchuriki vessel and that I must be safely escorted to Konoha."
"Then do you know what the Nine-Tails and Jinchuriki are?" Mito Uzumaki asked softly.
Kushina Uzumaki shook her head. Before she could be instilled with this information, Uzumaki Village was already gone.
"Nine powerful demonic beasts exist in the ninja world. They possess unique characteristics in the number of tails and their strength. Each tailed beast's power is overwhelming, like a natural disaster..."
Mito Uzumaki began to educate Kushina Uzumaki about the Tailed Beasts and told her about the mission of the Uzumaki clan: "Our Uzumaki clan is known for its vitality and sealing techniques. We are born to be the best vessels to contain the Tailed Beasts and are guardians who bring peace to the world."
At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki's face had turned pale, and her voice trembled as she asked, "Do I have to become a vessel for that kind of monster?"
Mito Uzumaki continued to stroke Kushina Uzumaki's head, encouraging her, "Child, we came here as vessels for the Nine-Tails, but before that, we must find love to fill these vessels. That way, even if we have to live as the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, we can still find happiness."
Upon hearing this, the image of Gojo Yoru immediately flashed into Kushina Uzumaki's mind.
But then, an even stronger fear surged into her heart.
Kushina Uzumaki's eyes welled with tears, and her voice choked as she said, "Mito-sama, I...I'm scared..."
"Don't be afraid, child..." Mito Uzumaki said with a kind smile, "You are more fortunate than me because you found what you cherished earlier. That child will not mind and will become your protector."
"Really...really?"
"Of course, he's a good kid too. You can tell him everything." Mito Uzumaki smiled and nodded, then changed the subject, "Before that, let me teach you the unsealing technique so you can return that thing to its rightful owner."
After saying that, Mito Uzumaki got up, leaned on her cane, and walked to a wardrobe.
Opening the wardrobe, Mito Uzumaki took out an extra-large red and white scroll.
The scroll was sealed with a seal, the word "seal" indicating it was the work of the Uzumaki clan.
Only the chakra and sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan can break this seal; otherwise, no one can open this scroll.
After Mito Uzumaki retrieved the scroll, she began teaching Kushina Uzumaki the unsealing technique, how to unseal and seal the scroll.
This scroll is the Book of Sealing Techniques of Uzumaki Village, and also the encyclopedia of sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan. It came to Konoha last year with Uzumaki Kushina and has been kept by Uzumaki Mito ever since.
This scroll contains not only common low-level and high-level sealing techniques, but also barrier techniques of three main types: perception, trapping enemies, and defense, as well as some extremely rare S-rank sealing techniques that only the high-ranking members of the Uzumaki clan possess.
Like the diamond-shaped mark on Mito Uzumaki's forehead—the Yin Seal.
Like the Reaper Death Seal performed by Minato Namikaze in the original work.
There is also the Reverse Four Symbols Seal, which Shimura Danzo used to seal a bridge.
And the seal on the dragon vein in the original work, etc...
Beside these sealing techniques are illustrated tutorials and the cultivation experiences of our predecessors…
As long as one possesses the talent for sealing techniques, even without a teacher, one can easily master the most difficult sealing techniques in the ninja world through the above teachings, becoming a sealing master feared throughout the ninja world.
In the past, Kushina Uzumaki would have been overjoyed to see this scroll.
But now, the girl is in a daze.
Mito Uzumaki knew that Kushina Uzumaki wouldn't be able to accept it for a while, so she simply stroked her head, offering silent comfort.
