Teacher's Gift!

A hundred basic Sealing Jutsu Formulas... yet they formed a Sealing Jutsu Formula that would have taken me at least two hundred basic Sealing Jutsu Formulas to construct...

This Sealing Jutsu, though it only has two thousand basic Sealing Jutsu Formulas, produces effects that would normally require a combination of four thousand or even more basic Sealing Jutsu Formulas. When it comes to combining and applying basic Sealing Jutsu Formulas, I'm nowhere near Kushina!

Why didn't Hirohiko and Yukina have to face a Sealing Jutsu obstacle, while I was the only one given this test? It didn't seem like I'd done anything to make Kushina angry!

Sigh...

Now I'm a
