"Breakfast is so lavish, and it's completely different from yesterday's!"
After getting up and washing, Uzumaki Mito was once again stunned by the rich spread of food on the dining table. She truly couldn't believe that such a lavish table was just breakfast.
And it was different from what they ate last night. Was the Shimura Clan this extravagant?
Good food always whets the appetite, and Uzumaki Mito was someone who disliked wasting food. She very cleanly finished the entire large table of breakfast before collapsing onto the sofa like a corpse, her belly slightly full.
"Miss Mito, do you have any Fuinjutsu that can seal away regular chakra and allow me to retrieve it when needed? Preferably something I can learn and use right away.
I can trade you our entire Shimura Clan's Body Strengthening Secret Technique in exchange, to trade with your Uzumaki Clan."
Bringing two cups of tea into the living room and sitting down, Shimura Kentei placed one cup in front of Uzumaki Mito and made his request.
Through last night's delicious food, he had gotten closer to this young lady, and it was time to start trading.
His biggest weakness right now was his chakra reserves. Even though the Super Strength Technique and Super Speed Technique consumed very little chakra, if he used both simultaneously, he could only be a "real man" for about a minute at most.
Once he ran out of chakra, his combat power would plummet rapidly. This weakness had to be addressed somehow.
Meeting Uzumaki Mito this time made him think of Fuinjutsu.
"You want to trade with our Uzumaki Clan?"
Sitting up, Uzumaki Mito asked seriously.
The Uzumaki Clan was very different from the ninja clans of Konoha. Although they were allies of Konoha, they were still outsiders. Would the Shimura Clan really agree to pass down that Body Strengthening Technique to the Uzumaki Clan?
"You don't need to worry about my father or the clan; I can make this decision."
As he spoke, Shimura Kentei took out a Sealed Item Scroll, which contained an entire set of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique.
Looking at the Sealed Item Scroll pushed onto the table in front of her, Mito Uzumaki's heart was moved.
She had seen this Body Strengthening Secret Technique before. Although it was unconventional and filled with dangers, as long as one cultivated it step by step, there wouldn't be any major problems.
The most important thing was that it had almost no prerequisites, which was invaluable for a clan.
After a moment of thought, Mito Uzumaki accepted the Sealed Item Scroll and said, "I have quite a few Fuinjutsu that can seal unused chakra. The strongest is the Yin Seal, the one on my forehead. However, to cultivate the Yin Seal, you need to possess both Yin and Yang chakra simultaneously. You're not suitable."
Pointing to the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead, Mito Uzumaki dismissed Shimura Kentei's talent in this regard.
"Doesn't Teacher Tsunade only have Yang-release and not Yin-release?"
Shimura Kentei was puzzled. He knew very well that he lacked the aptitude. After all, due to being born prematurely, his chakra had not yet developed innate elemental affinities within his mother's womb before he was born.
Let alone Yin and Yang affinities, he didn't even have the five common affinities: wind, fire, lightning, water, and earth.
But he remembered that Tsunade didn't possess both Yin and Yang either; she didn't have Yin-release.
"The Yin Seal only requires Yin and Yang chakra; it doesn't mean you must possess both Yin and Yang affinities. Postnatally cultivated Yin and Yang affinities are also acceptable.
In your Shimura clan's terms, it would be postnatally acquired Yin and Yang chakra, which can barely cultivate the Yin Seal. Tsunade only recently cultivated postnatally acquired Yin chakra, which then met the cultivation requirements for the Yin Seal."
Explaining patiently and in detail, Mito Uzumaki secretly pondered which Fuinjutsu to teach this young man.
That Body Strengthening Secret Technique, although not high-level, was invaluable, especially for a large clan. It was enough to double the strength of her Uzumaki clan.
Since he was showing so much sincerity, she naturally couldn't be stingy.
"Oh, right, the Eight Trigrams Seal!"
After thinking about the Fuinjutsu she knew, Mito Uzumaki quickly made her choice.
"The Eight Trigrams Seal?"
His heart stirred. Shimura Kentei knew about this seal from the Naruto series he had watched in his past life. The protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, used the Eight Trigrams Seal to firmly seal the Nine-Tails.
"The kind of seal you're looking for, to seal your own chakra, generally needs to be self-constructed, like the Yin Seal. Others cannot assist.
But the Eight Trigrams Seal is different; I can perform it on you directly.
Originally, this seal was intended to deal with a certain 'big guy,' and it could extract that 'big guy's' power and convert it into the sealer's own chakra. Unfortunately, the Eight Trigrams Seal can only extract single-element chakra, and that 'big guy' happened to have both Yin and Yang elements.
Moreover, that 'big guy' was too powerful, which made the Eight Trigrams Seal a failed creation."
By the end, Mito Uzumaki couldn't help but sigh.
The Eight Trigrams Seal was created by her. It was formed by two Four Symbols Seals, with the goal of refining the Nine-Tails' chakra into her own power. Unfortunately, the Nine-Tails was too strong, and she didn't succeed.
"Kurama?"
His mind cleared, Shimura Kentei understood that the "big guy" the young lady was referring to must be the Nine-Tails, Kurama. He also understood why Minato Namikaze had used the Eight Trigrams Seal to seal the Nine-Tails on his son.
According to what this young lady said, the Eight Trigrams Seal was indeed a failed creation for the fully formed Nine-Tails. But if the Nine-Tails were split into Yin and Yang halves, it would be different, and its effectiveness could be maximized.
"No wonder Naruto Uzumaki had such a massive amount of chakra in the original work. So the problem was with the Eight Trigrams Seal."
His mind cleared, Shimura Kentei had been quite puzzled when he watched Naruto. Naruto, who had just graduated, possessed a hundred times more chakra than Kakashi. This was too monstrous.
Even though Kakashi was quite weak, he possessed Yang-release. Any ninja with Yang-release chakra wouldn't have a shortage of chakra.
Even so, Naruto having so much chakra at the age of twelve was clearly abnormal. Even if he was the reincarnation of Asura, it was still too much. Now he finally understood; it turned out he relied on the Eight Trigrams Seal to refine the Yang-half of the Nine-Tails' chakra.
"Take off your Battle Suit, and I'll carve the Eight Trigrams Seal!"
While taking off her own loose and cumbersome outer clothing, Mito Uzumaki gestured for Shimura Kentei to take off his Battle Suit, intending to carve the Eight Trigrams Seal on him now.
Shimura Kentei naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing. He nimbly removed his outer and inner armor, leaving only the Venom Suit covering his entire body.
"You have a good physique, little brother. I wouldn't have guessed you're only thirteen!"
After taking in Shimura Kentei's chiseled body, wrapped in the Venom Suit, Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but tease him.
"Our Shimura Clan's Body Strengthening Secret Technique has some effect in accelerating physical development!"
He gave a modest smile, though his pride was evident.
This physique was the result of years of hard training, absolutely the kind that would make any maiden or frustrated housewife swoon!
"Stop fooling around and show me your upper body!"
Giving him a glare, Uzumaki Mito gestured for Shimura Kentei to reveal his upper body, then asked, "Are the chakra meridians in your body right-handed or left-handed spirals?"
"Left-handed, why?"
He replied truthfully. Shimura Kentei was clear on this point: the body's meridians in the chest and abdomen form a spiral structure, divided into two types based on the direction of rotation, namely left-handed and right-handed spirals.
The chakra refinement technique involves circulating chakra within the meridians, absorbing spiritual and life force to fuse into new chakra.
"The Eight Trigrams Seal will simulate a meridian vortex, and it must be in the opposite direction of your own meridian vortex for a perfect connection."
Explaining simply, Uzumaki Mito condensed chakra of both Yin and Yang attributes at her fingertips and, with Shimura Kentei's navel as the center, began to draw the chakra markings. This was the initial preparation.
"This might hurt a bit, so bear with it!"
After drawing the complex and profound chakra markings, Uzumaki Mito stretched her wrists, appearing eager. This made Shimura Kentei suddenly feel uneasy.
"Might? Miss, haven't you used this before?"
His eyes widened. Shimura Kentei felt like he had become a guinea pig.
"Don't worry, you won't die!"
Mito replied with a smile. She was indeed using the Eight Trigrams Seal for the first time and wasn't entirely confident, but she had at least a seventy percent chance of success.
"That makes me even more worried!"
He complained helplessly, closing his eyes and adopting a posture of complete surrender.
If Uzumaki Naruto, a mere infant, could succeed in the original story, there was no reason he couldn't.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, he felt a small hand press against his navel, followed by an indescribable pain that felt like dozens of steel knives stabbing into his abdomen and cruelly twisting.
The intense pain made him widen his eyes and gasp, contributing his part to the overall warming of the Naruto world.
"Miss Mito, please be gentle, it hurts a bit!"
His voice trembling, Shimura Kentei felt he could barely endure it.
It was only because he had been repeatedly killed by Keiko's clones in the Black Cauldron Space for the past few years that his pain tolerance was so high. Anyone else would have fainted from the pain by now.
Uzumaki Mito remained silent, her pretty face filled with solemn seriousness.
Although she had created the Eight Trigrams Seal and understood it thoroughly, it was still her first time using it, and unexpected situations could always arise.
Moreover, this time it was forming a blank Eight Trigrams Seal without any sealed object inside, which was quite different from her previous calculations.
She could only adjust these discrepancies slowly, and the process would indeed cause intense pain.
Thinking this, she glanced in surprise at Shimura Kentei, who was enduring it without moving, feeling extremely impressed by his willpower and endurance.
Although she hadn't experienced this pain herself, she knew exactly how painful it was. It could be said to be ten times more painful than childbirth for a woman, and the area of pain covered the entire chest and abdomen, far larger than that of childbirth.
Yet, even so, this kid hadn't cried out and could still stand there without moving. Such endurance and willpower were truly rare.
"That damn guy!"
At the same time, Senju Nawaki was peeking through the window, watching the scene inside. Hearing Shimura Kentei's trembling words, he gritted his teeth in anger.
His position was directly behind Uzumaki Mito, and from this angle, the two of them appeared extremely intimate.
Other children might not understand, but he did. He had trained with his older brother Jiraiya and had seen similar poses in the illustrations of The Paradise of Passion. Combined with Shimura Kentei's trembling voice, which sounded like he was experiencing extreme pleasure, Nawaki became even more certain.
Yesterday, he had only noticed their ambiguous and intimate behavior, but he never expected it to progress this far. His own sister had let a wolf into the house!
At this moment, Senju Nawaki felt that his great-grandfather's grave might be overgrown with grass, very green grass.
"No, I have to report this to my sister immediately!"
He shot an angry glance at the certain scoundrel lying on the sofa in the living room, trembling slightly with pleasure, and then hurried to the secret chamber, preparing to report this information to his sister and uncle.
He couldn't and wouldn't be able to resolve this matter himself, so he could only let his sister and uncle figure out a solution.
In any case, he absolutely couldn't let things continue to develop. Otherwise, he might not only gain a new grand-uncle but also one or more little uncles or aunts.
