Four Symbols Sealing

"Mina, don't neglect your Sealing Jutsu. If you need anything, tell me, and I'll do my best to help you."

Uchiha Yoichi suddenly remembered that there was another member of Mina's clan in Konoha—Uzumaki Kushina. However, she should have become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki by now. He wondered whether the two of them knew each other.

The two were around the same age. He just didn't know whether they knew each other.

"Mina, there's another member of the Uzumaki Clan in the village. Her name is Uzumaki Kushina. Do you know her?"

"Kushina?"

When Uzumaki Mina heard the name, she fell into recollection. Soon, however, she said, "I knew her when we were children. The Great Elder taught us Sealing Jutsu together, but Kushina left when she was eight. I never saw her again after that."

She had been exceptionally talented among the Uzumaki Clan as a child. Although she had awakened Adamantine Sealing much later than Uzumaki Kushina, the powerful healing properties in her Chakra had caused the Great Elder of the Uzumaki Clan to pay special attention to her.

Unfortunately, the Land of Whirlpools later fell into chaos. Before Mina could be properly trained, she had to wander throughout the Ninja World.

"Uzumaki Kushina should have become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki by now. It probably won't be easy for you to see her. If you run into her in the future and greet her, you might even have to undergo an inspection."

Uchiha Yoichi said this because not many people should know that Kushina had become the Jinchuriki. Even the Uchiha Clan probably wasn't very clear about it.

"Then I won't see her. Kushina and I are merely clan members who knew each other."

Uzumaki Mina shook her head. She knew whom she should rely on now. When her parents and the clan elders had risked their lives to send the girls away, they had told them that it would be best not to go to Konoha and to live anonymously in the Ninja World.

However, Mina had failed to conceal herself. After exposing her abilities in the Land of Grass, she had been taken to Kusagakure. Whenever she had no missions, she served as a blood bank for recovery. Only when she had a mission could she take a break, accompanying the squad as a Sensor Ninja.

After Uchiha Yoichi had taken her away from the Land of Grass, he was the only person Mina could rely on now.

"It's not that you absolutely can't see her. But you were brought back by me, and my relationship with the Konoha High Command is extremely cold right now. If you approach Uzumaki Kushina, you'll be watched in secret."

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Yoichi shook his head and said, "It's better to focus on training and improving your strength first. Mina, I need your Sealing Jutsu."

"I understand, Lord Yoichi."

"By the way, if keeping up with the house becomes troublesome, hire someone to clean it. In a couple of days, I'll buy a residence from the clan near a training ground or the forest. This place is a little cramped."

Uchiha Yoichi looked around the house. It had been left behind by his original body's parents. He had no particular attachment to it; he simply felt that it was a little too small for two people.

Uchiha Yoichi's priority was training now. Living near a training ground would save time and mean fewer interruptions.

"Call from Another World, come forth!"

Magic Meat Sheep appeared again from the summoning list. Uchiha Yoichi stepped forward and held down the goat from the Elemental Forest. After checking its sex, he happily picked it up and prepared to take it back to the clan.

The texture of this goat's meat and its ability to restore energy had left a deep impression on Uchiha Yoichi. Not only had he enjoyed eating it, but after the Second Elder tasted it once, he had also been unable to forget it.

Thus, Uchiha Yoichi had thought of raising these goats. The summoned goats appeared randomly as males or females. If he could raise a whole herd, he would have an endless supply of Magic Meat Sheep to eat in the future.

As for whether they would be able to adapt after their living environment was changed to the Ninja World, that could only be confirmed after they had been raised for a while. There was Natural Energy in the Ninja World as well, so Uchiha Yoichi could only hope that these Magic Goats would adapt.

The Second Elder had already found a mountain outside the village for him to raise the Magic Goats. He had arranged for several clan members to watch over them and had even found someone who had raised goats before to care for them meticulously.

Uchiha Yoichi would cover the expenses. After all, this was his business, and he wasn't short of money.

If the Magic Goats could successfully reproduce in the Ninja World without their flavor changing, they would definitely become a top-tier delicacy in the Ninja World—the kind where a serving of lamb chops wouldn't be available for less than fifty thousand ryo.

Uchiha Yoichi delivered the Magic Goat he had summoned this time to the Second Elder and had him take it to the farm. When he returned, he found that Kakashi had come to visit.

"Good morning, Captain."

"The squad has already been disbanded. Besides, weren't you supposed to train under Hatake Senior? Why do you have time to come see me today?"

After sitting down, Uchiha Yoichi asked him. After Danzo had leaked their mission to Kumogakure last time, the Hokage Building had imposed strict regulations on squad sizes. Even a Chunin squad had to have four members.

It was most likely aimed at the two-man squad they had formed. However, Uchiha Yoichi had no plans to leave the village recently. Even if he did leave, it would be with the clan members to deal with people from the Shimura clan.

"My father went on a mission. I wanted to take a mission too, but I can't find a Mission Squad right now. I'll have to wait for now, Captain. Shall we train together this afternoon?"

Without a Mission Squad or his father to spar with, Kakashi felt that training with Uchiha Yoichi would be better than doing those boring C- and D-rank missions.

As for whether he should keep his distance from Uchiha Yoichi, Hatake Sakumo had said nothing and had simply let Kakashi decide for himself.

Uchiha Yoichi nodded. "All right. Having someone to spar with is better than training alone. Since Hatake Senior isn't in the village, why don't you stay for dinner tonight?"

Kakashi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked, "Can I choose the dishes, Captain? I want to eat the mutton from last time."

"...All right."

The corner of Uchiha Yoichi's mouth twitched. He didn't have many summoning opportunities left. After they finished the half a sheep at home, he would have to send several more to the farm. If he wanted to eat it again in the future, he could only wait for the Magic Goats at the farm to multiply and grow in number.

Their sparring still consisted of Kenjutsu. However, Uchiha Yoichi wore weighted equipment while sparring with Kakashi. Otherwise, with his greater Chakra reserves and faster speed, even if his Kenjutsu was slightly inferior to Kakashi's, he could easily defeat him through his physical advantages and Sharingan.

After advancing to Two Tomoe, the Sharingan's Dynamic Vision had grown increasingly powerful. Combined with the reaction speed gained from training in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, it allowed him to gradually learn Hatake Swordsmanship.

However, without the support of Wind Release Chakra Cut Transformation, the power of Hatake Swordsmanship would be greatly reduced.

Uchiha Yoichi also had his own style of swordsmanship: viciousness.

He relied on speed and strength to strike vital points—the throat, eyes, heart, and every other vulnerable part of the body. All of them were targets for Uchiha Yoichi's attacks. His swordsmanship had very few variations.

Even while wearing eighty jin of weights, Uchiha Yoichi still made Kakashi struggle somewhat during their sparring.

"Lord Yoichi, let me show you what I've accomplished recently."

A few days later, after dinner, Uzumaki Mina suddenly called out to Uchiha Yoichi and placed a blank scroll on the table.

Uzumaki Mina quickly formed hand seals, slapped her palm against the blank scroll, and shouted, "Sealing!"

The next moment, a whirlpool-like seal appeared on the blank scroll out of nowhere. Four sealing characters appeared around the outside of the whirlpool.

Then, Uzumaki Mina wiped at the nonexistent sweat on her forehead and said with a beaming smile, "Lord Yoichi, this is what I've accomplished through my recent training. I successfully learned the technique the Great Elder taught us when we were children—Four Symbols Sealing!"
