Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Kushina and Mito, The Scroll of Seals of the Uzumaki Clan

March was a special month for all the major ninja villages in the Ninja World.

At the end of this month each year, a batch of new ninja registration numbers would appear in the ninja village archives.

Therefore, this month was also known as the graduation season.

March 19th.

On this evening, the atmosphere in the Senju household was somewhat lively.

Under Tsunade's orders, the chef prepared a sumptuous dinner.

At the dining table, Tsunade took the initiative to pour juice for Nawaki and Uzumaki Kushina, then smiled and asked Nawaki, "Nawaki, tomorrow is the graduation exam. Are you feeling any pressure?"

"Of course not! I am the grandson of the First Hokage who founded the Hidden Leaf Village!"

Nawaki, who looked extremely similar to Uzumaki Naruto, gave himself a thumbs-up, grinned, and said confidently, "Becoming a Genin is just a beginning for me! My dream is to inherit the title of Hokage, just like Grandpa and Granduncle."

"Well said. A man must do what he says," Tsunade rested her chin on one hand, looking at Nawaki with eyes full of doting affection. Then she smiled and revealed some information, "However, passing the school graduation exam is only the first step to becoming a true Genin. The most important hurdle is the Jonin instructor's test."

"Only by passing the Jonin instructor's test 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 forcibly sent back to the academy for retraining."

At this point, Tsunade encouraged Nawaki, "If you can pass the Jonin instructor's test, your big sister will give you a graduation gift."

"Then you can start preparing, Big Sister."

Nawaki's high-spirited demeanor was something the original Uzumaki Naruto could never possess; instead, it was extremely similar to Uzumaki Boruto.

Hearing the words "graduation gift," Uzumaki Kushina, who was silently shoveling rice into her mouth, seemed to think of something. Her eyes suddenly flashed, and she looked at Uzumaki Mito sitting at the head of the table.

Coincidentally, Uzumaki Mito's gaze was not on her grandson but smilingly looking at Uzumaki Kushina.

Feeling as if her inner thoughts were seen through, Uzumaki Kushina subconsciously lowered her head and continued to shovel rice.

However, after dinner, Uzumaki Kushina struggled with herself for a long time before mustering the courage to go to Uzumaki Mito's room.

Seeing Uzumaki Mito sitting by the bed instead of lying down to rest, seemingly waiting for her, Uzumaki Kushina averted her gaze, not daring to meet her eyes. Looking down at her toes, she whispered a request, "Mito... Mito-sama, can you teach me the Unsealing Technique?"

"Child, you don't need to feel embarrassed, because that belongs to you in the first place," Uzumaki Mito comforted with a smile. "Compared to me, an old woman who should have taken a different surname, you, as the last spark and hope of the Uzumaki Clan, are the most suitable person to take charge of it."

After speaking, Uzumaki Mito beckoned to Uzumaki Kushina: "Child, come over and chat with this old woman for a while."

Uzumaki Kushina immediately walked carefully to stand in front of Uzumaki Mito.

Raising her hand to rest on Uzumaki Kushina's head, Uzumaki Mito stroked her hair and asked, "Child, do you know why you were sent here?"

"Yes."

Uzumaki Kushina nodded and replied, "The patriarch said that since I was very young, I possessed powerful Chakra capable of suppressing the Nine-Tails. When he asked that ninja to take me away, he also said that I was the best Jinchuriki vessel and that I must be escorted safely to Konoha."

"Then do you know what the Nine-Tails and a Jinchuriki are?" Uzumaki Mito asked softly.

Uzumaki Kushina shook her head. Uzushiogakure was destroyed before she could be instilled with this information.

"In the Ninja World, there exist nine powerful demonic beasts. They possess unique numbers of tails and characteristics of power. The power of each Tailed Beast is overly immense, like a natural disaster..."

Uzumaki Mito began to educate Uzumaki Kushina about Tailed Beasts and told her the mission of the Uzumaki Clan: "Our Uzumaki Clan excels in vitality and Sealing Jutsu. We are naturally the best vessels to restrict Tailed Beasts and are guardians who bring peace to the world."

By this time, Uzumaki Kushina's small face had turned pale, and her voice trembled as she said, "Must I become the vessel for that kind of monster?"

Uzumaki Mito continued to stroke Uzumaki Kushina's head and enlightened her: "Child, we came here as vessels for the Nine-Tails. But before that, we must find love to fill this vessel. In that way, even if we have to live as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, we can still find happiness."

Hearing this, the image of Gojo Yoru immediately surfaced in Uzumaki Kushina's mind.

But immediately after, an even stronger fear surged into her heart.

Tears welled up in Uzumaki Kushina's eyes, and her voice choked as she said, "Mito-sama, I... I'm scared..."

"Don't be afraid, child..." Uzumaki Mito smiled kindly. "You are happier than I was because you found the person in your heart much earlier. That child certainly won't mind, and he will become your guardian."

"Re... really?"

"Of course, he is also a good child. You can tell him everything." Uzumaki Mito nodded with a smile, then changed the subject, "Before that, let me teach you the Unsealing Technique first, to return that thing to its original owner."

After speaking, Uzumaki Mito stood up with her cane and walked to a wardrobe.

Opening the wardrobe, Uzumaki Mito took out a super-large red and white scroll.

A seal was pasted on the scroll, and the sealing character on it was a masterpiece of the Uzumaki Clan.

Only the Chakra and Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan could undo this seal; otherwise, no one could open this scroll.

After taking out the scroll, Uzumaki Mito began to teach Uzumaki Kushina the Unsealing Technique, how to open this scroll, and how to seal it back up.

This scroll was the Scroll of Seals of Uzushiogakure and also the encyclopedia of the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu.

Inside, there were not only common low-level and high-level Sealing Jutsu but also three major types of Barrier Jutsu: sensing, trapping enemies, and defense. Additionally, there were some super-rare S-rank Sealing Jutsu known only to the higher-ups of the Uzumaki Clan.

Such as the rhombus mark on Uzumaki Mito's forehead—the Yin Seal.

Such as the one performed by Namikaze Minato in the original work—the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

Also, the one Shimura Danzo used to seal a bridge—Reverse Four Symbols Sealing.

And the seal used on the Dragon Vein in the original work, etc...

Next to these Sealing Jutsu were illustrated instructions and the cultivation experiences of ancestors...

As long as one possessed talent for Sealing Jutsu, even without guidance, one could easily master the most difficult-to-learn Sealing Jutsu in the Ninja World through the instructions above, becoming a Sealing Master feared by the Ninja World.

If it were before, Uzumaki Kushina would have been pleasantly surprised to see this scroll.

But now, the girl was in a daze.

Uzumaki Mito also knew that Uzumaki Kushina couldn't accept it immediately, so she just stroked her head, offering silent comfort.
