"Naruto, what kind of ninjutsu are you researching this time? Maybe I can help."
Watching Naruto sit amid that huge pile of scrolls, holding one as he flipped through it, Minato Namikaze could not help leaning closer in curiosity.
He wanted to grow closer to Naruto at every moment.
"A technique similar to Sealing Technique, but you probably can't help much."
Naruto answered casually. He no longer cared much about Minato Namikaze drawing close. After a year, he had mostly gotten used to it. Besides, Minato Namikaze had helped him a great deal and no longer objected to whatever he wanted to do. At most, he would try to talk him out of it beforehand; if he could not, he left it alone.
"Is that so?"
Minato Namikaze grew even more curious and leaned over to look with him. He considered himself fairly talented in Sealing Technique; otherwise, he could not have sealed even the Caged Bird.
"That's the Transcription Seal, an ocular technique only Uchiha can use, exclusive to the Sharingan."
Uchiha Shisui, who had shut himself away in the Sealing Space for a long time, finally spoke. Both of them looked surprised. Over the past year, he had been observing the Uchiha's situation through Naruto's perspective. Under the weight of that pain, he had become increasingly withdrawn. It seemed he had not spoken for one or two months, and they had nearly forgotten there was such a person.
Yakushi Nonō, meanwhile, had already been sent out by Naruto to handle a few matters for him.
Naruto had placed a Flying Thunder God Technique Mark on her. While protecting Nonō, it also prevented her from doing anything irrational.
"If you want to learn it, I can help you. That way, you can save a lot of time."
