Half a day later, a few of the smarter Ninjas finally mastered the basic seal variations of the Netherworld Sealing.

By this time, Shinki was too exhausted to say a word.

He now seemed to understand why the lecturers he attended before his time travel were always so emotionally unstable.

Standing on the podium, facing these innocent yet foolish faces, it's really hard to calmly give a lecture!

"Alright, now that you've learned these few Ninja, hurry up and teach the rest of you. I'm a little tired, I need to go back for vacation."

After saying that, Shinki disappeared using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Not long after Shinki left, the Hokage pushed open the classroom door and asked curiously, "Where's Shinki?"

A sealed Ninja said, "Master Shinki has already gone back to Turtle Island for vacation..."

Tsunade nodded. "So how's your learning of the Netherworld Sealing Techniques he taught you? Can you draw Scrolls independently now?"

The many sealed Ninjas wore bitter expressions.

"Yes, but only a tiny bit..."

"Lord Hokage, it's really not our fault for not studying hard enough; it's just that what Teacher Shinki taught was so profound! (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"

"Exactly, is everything taught in Konoha this mysterious? Master Shinki isn't even seventeen yet, where did he learn all these techniques from...꒦ິ^꒦ິ"

"Now I finally understand why Konoha is the strongest of the Five Great Villages..."

Tsunade looked puzzled after hearing what the group of Ninjas said.

Is it really that difficult?

What Shinki just said at Headquarters sounded very relaxed.

Furthermore, the Konoha's Ninja Academy has never offered courses related to Sealing Jutsu.

Ultimately, Shinki was just a monk who had only recently entered the monastic life; what complex incantations could he possibly comprehend on his own...?

Thinking of this, Tsunade to look at the writing on the blackboard...

ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ノ!!!

What on earth is all this?! ∑(✘Д✘๑)

Practical applications of Entangled Spiral Formula, infinite variables in Bivariate Cubic, the Gabahe Conjecture... what the heck is this Inuzuka Clan dog??

"Gurgle~"

Seeing the blackboard full of formulas, even the well-informed Tsunade swallowed hard.

This is unheard of!

No wonder these sealing Ninjas are struggling so much with their training!

Afterwards, Tsunade skillfully concealed her embarrassment. "Ahem... Alright, you guys continue with your work, I'll go check on Headquarters first."

Turtle Island.

When the Shinki returned, Naruto was still training for the Tailed Beast Bomb.

Shinki felt that condensing Tailed Beast Bomb Rasengan shouldn't be this difficult, so he looked at Killer B next to Naruto and asked, "Why hasn't Naruto learned it yet after so long?"

Killer B shrugged, feigning innocence. "I don't know either, but Naruto always gets distracted during training, making it impossible to achieve the perfect 8:2 ratio..."

Shinki: "Distracted?"

Shinki knew Naruto well; although he wasn't the brightest, he was absolutely focused during training and rarely lost focus, especially during something as important as training for the Tailed Beast Bomb...

Just as Shinki asked this question, Naruto, who was condensing the Tailed Beast Bomb Rasengan, seemed momentarily dazed!

"Naruto!"

Shinki's loud shout pulled Naruto back from his daze.

Seeing that Naruto's expression had returned to normal, he finally asked, "Naruto, what happened?"

Naruto looked conflicted. "I can't really explain the feeling. It's like someone else is borrowing my Chakra, and at the same time, images of other people flash through my mind..."

Shinki: "Who exactly are they? Can you remember what they look like?"

Naruto shook his head. "I can't remember, but I could sense the Nine-Tails Chakra within them..."

"That's interesting. In the entire Shinobi World, besides you, who else has the Nine-Tails Chakra?" Shinki frowned and stroked his chin.

Upon hearing this, Killer B recalled some past events, "That's right! There's a legend about the Kinkaku and Ginkaku Brothers in Kumogakure!"

Upon hearing this, Shinki turned his head curiously and asked, "Kinkaku Ginkaku? Tell me more!"

Killer B: "Yo yo~ This story goes back decades, when I was probably just a baby..."

Shinki: "Speak properly! (。•ˇ‸ˇ•。)"

Killer B: "To put it simply, before Kumogakure obtained the Nine-Tails, Konoha plotted to capture it. At that Nine-Tails, a pair of brothers were swallowed by the Nine-Tails... Then, two weeks later, the Nine-Tails actually vomited those brothers back up!"

"Guess how those two brothers survived inside the Nine-Tails' belly for two weeks? (¬∀¬)σ"

Shinki: "They... eat their own brothers... no... the flesh and blood of the Nine-Tails!"

Killer B nodded. "Amazing, you even guessed that! (๑ت๑)b"

Shinki: "However, an ordinary person who eats Tailed Beast would likely be immediately overwhelmed by the violent Chakra, or die on the spot because their meridians couldn't withstand it..."

Killer B gave the Shinki an approving look. "That's what makes them so amazing. Legend has it that they both possess a special bloodline, related to a legendary Sage! ( ´▽` )"

"It was after that that he devoured the flesh and blood of the Tailed Beasts and obtained the Nine-Tails 'Chakra! His strength became unprecedented!"

"Back then, it was they who launched a coup during the peace talks between Konoha and Kumogakure, killing the Second Raikage of Kumogakure, and ultimately perishing together with your Second Hokage of Konoha..."

"I see, but weren't they already dead..." Shinki said after listening to Killer B's explanation.

He had barely finished speaking when he realized something was wrong, "Wait! Impure World Reincarnation! They could very well have been Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu! Ծ‸ Ծ"

Killer B hearing this. "This puts the Allied Shinobi Forces in trouble. Those two brothers not only possess Chakra like Tailed Beasts, but they also have Sage Tool hidden away!"

Shinki: "Sage Tool? Which Sage? The Toad Sage or the White Snake Sage?!(´°Δ°`)"

Killer B shook his head. "What are you talking about? What they possess are the magical artifacts of the Sage of Six Paths, the founder of the Ninshu!"

"They are the Seven Star Sword, the Kohaku no Jōhei, the Benihisago, and the Banana Palm Fan!"

Shinki, after hearing this: ∑(°Д°)

Kinkaku and Ginkaku, plus these magical artifacts...

So, the Ginkaku and Silver Horn Kings of Kumogakure are actually the Kinkaku King and Ginkaku King from Journey to the West?! (·∀·)

Thinking of this, Shinki asked the Four-Tails Son Goku, who was located in the sealed space, "Do you know these two Ninjas?"

Although the Four-Tails Son Goku found it strange, he still answered seriously, "Just two ordinary little Ninjas... I don't know them. ┐(´-`)┌"

Shinki looked slightly disappointed. "Okay.(´-ι_-`)"

Seeing that Shinki little guy was still silent, Killer B assumed he was intimidated by the names of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Older Brother will definitely find a way to deal with them!"
