Chapter 33: Items That Can Be Signed Out
Utatane Koharu listened to Hiruzen Sarutobi and continued, "Then is it possible that Uzumaki Narutohimself unsealed it? I heard that you taught Uzumaki Naruto all of the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said, "How old is Naruto? How could he possibly fully learn Sealing Jutsu, let alone a complex Sealing Jutsulike the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style."
The other three also felt that Hiruzen Sarutobimade a good point. But if Kakashi didn't unseal it, and Uzumaki Naruto didn't unseal it himself, then the most suspicious person could only be Danzo Shimura.
Danzo knew he was being wronged, but all suspicion was pointing at him now.
Danzo looked at the three with a dark expression and said, "I'll say it again! I didn't do it!"
Not only did Hiruzen Sarutobi not believe Danzo's words, but Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokadodidn't either.
Homura Mitokado was afraid that Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi would continue to argue, so he quickly said to Danzo, "Alright! Regardless of whether you did it or not, don't interfere with the Jinchuriki's matters anymore, and also... your Rootshouldn't keep an eye on the Jinchuriki anymore."
"No...!"
Danzo Shimura's words were cut off by Hiruzen Sarutobi before he could finish.
"Enough! Do as Homura says. Don't forget, your Root has already been disbanded."
Danzo Shimura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a dark expression and said, "Hiruzen! You'll regret this!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi also looked at Danzo with a dark expression and said, "Danzo! I am the Hokage!"
Danzo heard Hiruzen Sarutobi using his title as Hokage to pressure him again, angrily turned around, slammed the door shut, and left.
Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado had seen this scene countless times and felt exhausted.
"Hiruzen, we're leaving too!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and let the two leave, sitting alone in the Hokage Office, smoking.
The next day:
Naruto woke up early as usual to exercise, and signed in to the system while eating breakfast.
"Ding, congratulations, host, for successfully signing in. You have obtained: Taijutsu technique, Eight Gates."
Naruto looked at 'Taijutsu Eight Gates' displayed on the System Panel in surprise, somewhat disbelieving.
"System, come out! Why can the Eight Gates be signed out?"
"Ding, signed-in items are obtained randomly. Resources and items can be signed out repeatedly. Techniques, Ninjutsu, bloodlines, Bloodline Limits, and so on, once the host learns them, they will not be signed out again."
Naruto listened with a dark expression and said, "Then does that mean I can get stronger just by signing in every day?"
"Ding, theoretically yes, but in fact, the items signed out are linked to the host's strength. If the host doesn't cultivate diligently, a Sage Body of the Uzumaki Clan, for example, would only have a chance to be signed out after at least fifteen years. This system is an auxiliary Sign-in System; it can only assist the host in becoming stronger, not directly help the host become stronger."
Naruto understood. If he didn't work hard and just signed in lazily, the system could only ensure his survival, but not his strength.
After pondering for a while, Naruto continued to ask the system, "Can I sign out Sage Art? Or Magic Spells?"
"Ding, when the host's strength reaches a certain level, Sage Art can naturally be signed out. As for Magic Spells, although they can be signed out, the probability is minuscule, almost impossible."
"Why?"
"Ding, the Cultivation Systems are different. Even if the Sage Art signed out in this world, it is not the Sage Art of a Fantasy World, so it is impossible to sign out orthodox Sage Art."
"Then can the Sage Art of this world prolong life?"
"Ding, yes! The Sage Art of this world has similar effects to the Sage Art of a Fantasy World, also having the effects of repairing hidden injuries and nourishing the physique, but it is not orthodox."
"Understood! One last question, now that I've cultivated Chakra, will I also need a one-to-one fusion when cultivating Sage Art in the future?"
"Ding, no need! The Sage Art signed out by the system can directly absorb Natural Energy and does not require Chakra fusion."
"Then what about the Chakra I've cultivated now? It can't just go to waste, can it?"
"Ding, as long as the host cultivates Sage Art, the Chakra in the body will naturally convert into Sage Art Energy, or in the terms of this world, it will automatically convert into Natural Energy."
Naruto nodded upon hearing this and felt relieved. As long as his current cultivation wouldn't go to waste, it was fine.
"One last, last question! Can the Sage Art I sign out be taught to people in this world to cultivate?"
"Ding, yes! However, according to the cultivation rules of this world, their cultivation of Sage Art will never exceed your realm."
Naruto suddenly thought of something when he heard the cultivation rules of this world.
"Does that mean no matter how one cultivates Chakra in this world, they will never surpass the first person to cultivate Chakra?"
"Ding, this question exceeds the system's authority. This system cannot answer."
Well! It was already so clear; how could Naruto not understand?
Unable to answer already meant that Naruto had guessed correctly.
After closing the System Panel, Naruto wanted to try activating the Eight Gates.
Just as he was about to break open the first gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Opening, he heard someone outside the door.
Naruto quickly withdrew his Chakra, thinking to himself, 'That was impulsive, I almost exposed myself.'
Naruto opened the door and saw Kakashi standing at the entrance with his mask on, saying, "Hokage-sama has ordered that from today, you no longer need to go to the Ninja Academy."
Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked at Kakashi, saying, "Isn't that a bit much? I just got my textbooks, and now I'm not allowed to go to the Ninja Academy?"
"This is Hokage-sama's order."
Naruto shook his head speechlessly and said, "Alright! Go back and tell him I'll use a Shadow Clone to go to school. If there's nothing else, go squat in a tree!"
With that, Naruto slammed the door shut.
Naruto scratched his head, muttering to himself, "It seems I've gone a bit too far. Now I can't even enter the Village."
Just then, the Nine-Tailed inside his mental space suddenly spoke.
"Brat, who told you not to re-seal me? Without a seal, I can go out anytime. Do you think they'd be at ease letting you go into the Village?"
"Tch! I don't necessarily have to go into the Village. If I wanted to stay in the Village, I wouldn't be living on the outskirts."
Naruto's words left the Nine-Tailed speechless. Ever since he saw the memories Naruto showed him, the Nine-Tailed didn't know what to do.
Based on his understanding of the current Naruto, Naruto definitely wouldn't care about the future Ninja World War, let alone the lives of them, the Tailed Beasts.
"Brat, I want to talk to you!"
