Chapter 153: Scroll of Seals Mastered!
Alex hurriedly flew in front of Konan. [Konan, quick, open it and let me see.]
The Scroll of Seals was very large and thick, similar to the summoning scroll he had seen in Ryuchi Cave. Konan nodded and pulled it open with a swish.
Alex leaned in to watch, excitement bubbling within him. Although it was a backup, the various ninjutsu and forbidden techniques inside were complete and genuine.
Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Chidori... Rasengan, Rasenshuriken... Secret techniques of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans...
He got more excited as he read, quickly reaching the main event.
Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder... The Senju clan's Chakra Enhanced Strength, Tobirama Senju's Water Release: Water Severing Wave and his complete set of Water Release, Hashirama Senju's complete Wood Release...
Four Symbols Seal, Eight Trigrams Sealing Style... The Uzumaki clan's complete set of Sealing Jutsu. Even the Impure World Reincarnation was there.
At the end of the Scroll of Seals was the Uchiha clan's complete set of Fire Release, Sharingan Genjutsu, and so on. This was likely the loot Danzo acquired after wiping out the Uchiha clan. Recording the entire Uchiha suite into the Root version of the Scroll of Seals made it even more complete than the one in the Hokage Residence. Hiruzen Sarutobi probably still cared about face and didn't dare to blatantly record the Uchiha heritage into the original Scroll of Seals.
A harvest! A massive harvest!
Alex was hyper, excited, and unable to control himself. This was essentially the most quintessential, core heritage of Konoha over the past 60 years. Now, it belonged to him and Konan.
Hahaha!
He laughed heartily in his mind. With such a treasure right before his eyes, how could he hold back?
[Konan, quick, spread it on the floor. I need to press onto it!]
"Alright." Konan smiled knowingly; she could feel his joy. She was equally delighted. With so many powerful ninjutsu, once mastered, their means of confronting enemies and combat power would reach a higher level.
She fully opened the Scroll of Seals and spread it on the ground. There were too many ninjutsu recorded inside, making the scroll dozens of meters long. Fortunately, this storage room was long enough to barely fit it.
"Alex, go for it!"
Seeing Konan was ready, Alex could no longer restrain himself. His palm-sized paper body expanded to dozens of meters with a swish, and he flew eagerly above the scroll, pressing down.
Perfect fit, seamless.
Immediately... his Gold Finger activated!
One second later, the replication was complete.
Alex floated up unsteadily, his paper body shrinking visibly. His mind was dizzy, filled with a massive amount of ninjutsu and knowledge. Thankfully, his cheat ability was powerful, and he soon recovered and returned to normal.
"Alex, how is it?" Konan held Alex up with her hands, asking with concern.
With so many ninjutsu and forbidden techniques, if it were her, she probably wouldn't finish learning them in a lifetime. Even with Alex's personal guidance, mastering them would take a long time. But if Alex's special ability could really learn so many ninjutsu in an instant, it would be a terrifyingly powerful ability. Enough to make people speechless; if word got out, no one would believe it.
Alex shook his body, acting very smug. [Learned them all. It was a piece of cake.]
Life is truly lonely as snow. Who claims to be invincible, who dares to speak of being undefeated? I, Emperor Alex...
Cough cough... Wrong genre. He cleared his throat internally, extinguishing those unrealistic fantasies. Suddenly learning everything on the Scroll of Seals inevitably made him feel surged and floaty.
Piece of cake?
Although Konan didn't understand the slang, hearing that Alex had mastered everything perfectly... even if she was mentally prepared, shock was hard to hide on her face. Her beautiful eyes contracted slightly.
Followed by huge joy filling her heart, just like Alex. She and Alex were one; if Alex became stronger, she would benefit endlessly.
Konan gazed tenderly at the high-spirited Alex, an inexplicable light rising in her eyes. At this moment, she was finally convinced that Alex was definitely not a backup left for her by Nagato. Even the Rinnegan, no matter how strong, couldn't possibly have such perverted learning capabilities. She had been by Nagato's side for years and knew the Rinnegan well. Moreover, yesterday they had beaten the Rinnegan-wielding Obito like a dead dog. If the Rinnegan was really that magical, why hadn't Nagato or Obito shown such powerful, even absurd, abilities?
Alex definitely had nothing to do with the Rinnegan. As for where he came from, or what his specific identity was...
Konan shook her head internally. Those questions were meaningless. She only needed to know that she and Alex shared life and death, and were the closest companions. That was enough. Alex relied on her chakra to survive, and she... was already shaped by Alex...
No one could leave the other. They would be together forever, never to separate.
Konan's gaze toward Alex became hotter and hotter. If the time and place weren't inappropriate, she might have really hugged Alex tight and gone for another round of "carving up the mountain, exploring down the valley." That taste, that custom-made bliss, was truly memorable and made her heart itch. Just thinking about those blushing, heart-pounding scenes made Konan feel weak and hot.
Alex... was really great. Great in every sense...
Alex, on the side, didn't notice Konan's strangeness. He was reviewing the ninjutsu he had just mastered in his mind.
Sigh, what a pity...
He sighed lightly in his heart. The Impure World Reincarnation on the Scroll of Seals was only the initial version. When the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, invented it, it was merely used to summon cannon fodder for suicide attacks. Their strength could probably only reach the Chunin level, Jonin at best.
After decades of research and refinement by Orochimaru, the version in his hands was close to complete. It was only after Kabuto Yakushi completed it after Orochimaru's "death" that the forbidden technique was perfected. The summoned Edo Tensei bodies could exert eighty to ninety percent of their strength from when they were alive.
And that only applied to super-standard powerhouses like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. The Edo body would limit their power, making them weaker than when alive. For those below that level, thanks to the almost infinite chakra and the undying characteristic, they could possess strength even greater than when they were alive.
But fortunately, after Minato Namikaze became Hokage, he recorded his perfected Flying Thunder God into the Scroll of Seals. The version had been updated. Even if there were some minor dissatisfactions, the Scroll of Seals was undoubtedly Alex's biggest harvest to date.
Complete Wood Release, complete Water Release, complete Fire Release, complete Sharingan Genjutsu, complete Sealing Jutsu. All were the top ninjutsu in the ninja world.
Konan looked down at a ninjutsu recorded on the Scroll of Seals by her feet. Seeming to think of something, the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
"Alex, you learned this ninjutsu too, right?"
[Of course, I know every ninjutsu on it,] Alex answered subconsciously. Then, meeting her gaze, his heart skipped a beat.
Partial Multi-Size Technique??
