The Book of Sealing, Entrusting the Clans
The two looked at each other behind the gate of the Senju Clan Compound, but neither spoke. They had naturally noticed Tsunade, but neither said anything. If you want to hear it, then listen.
"Xiao, you're Tsunade's boyfriend, so you're family. Come with me." Uzumaki Mito smiled slightly and walked into the clan's territory.
Uchiha Kō nodded and followed. The two of them stared straight ahead, seemingly unaware of Tsunade behind the door. Tsunade felt a surge of pride, thinking, "I'm so amazing! I was able to evade the senses of two experts."
Uchiha Kō:...
Uzumaki Mito:...
Soon after, Uzumaki Mito led Uchiha Kō to the room where she and Hashirama had previously lived together, and even waved to Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō nodded and followed him inside, while Tsunade eavesdropped against the wall.
"Lord Owl, do you know whose house this is?" Uzumaki Mito's gaze was gentle as water, as if she were lost in some kind of memory.
Upon seeing this Uchiha Kō asked, "Is it Lord Hashirama?"
Uzumaki Mito suddenly smiled and nodded. "That's right. This house was Hashirama and I used to live. But after he left, I moved to another house to avoid being reminded of him by seeing familiar things."
Uchiha Kō nodded, but didn't say much. He didn't know why Uzumaki Mito had called him over, so in this situation, it was better to listen more and say less.
"Xiao, have you ever heard of the Book of Sealing?" Uzumaki Mito asked Uchiha Kō.
"Of course I've heard of it. It's rumored to contain a large number of forbidden techniques created by the Second, and each technique has its own unique uses," Uchiha Kō replied.
"You're right, and you're wrong." Uzumaki Mito nodded and then shook her head.
"The reason these techniques are forbidden is not only because of their immense power, but also because they demand extremely high levels of talent. Even Tsunade and Nawaki are far inferior," Uzumaki Mito remarked.
Hearing this, Tsunade outside also sighed. She had put all her Ninjutsu talent into medical techniques. She had once wanted to learn the Book of Sealing, but as soon as she started using it, she felt unwell and almost vomited blood.
"Tobirama's original intention was to make everyone in Konoha able to learn the forbidden techniques he created, thereby making Konoha stronger. However, he overlooked the fact that not everyone has his talent, so Hashirama sealed away all his techniques."
"Xiao, you're Xiao Gang's boyfriend now, which means you're family. Are you willing to learn the Ninjutsu from the Book of Sealing?"
"While protecting the Uchiha, we must also protect the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clans." With that, Uzumaki Mito removed the floorboards in front of the double bed, took out a scroll, and handed it to Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō's breathing quickened, and his scalp tingled. The Book of Sealing! This was the legendary Book of Sealing of the forbidden technique master! But he quickly regained his senses.
This comes with conditions. Once he learns the Book of Sealing, it means that he will have to protect not only Tsunade and the Uchiha, but also the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clans.
In other words, the rise and fall of three races will be tied to him from now on.
Uchiha Kō glanced at Uzumaki Mito Uzumaki Mito, who smiled but did not interfere with Uchiha Kō's choice.
Even Tsunade outside held her breath, waiting for Uchiha Kō's choice.
Uzumaki Mito understood that her grandchildren were too naive; they couldn't protect the Senju Clan, let alone the Uzumaki Clan. Only a genius Uchiha Kō, with his exceptional talent, cunning, and wisdom, could do it.
Therefore, she was even prepared to be questioned by Tobirama when she went to the Pure Land, and she also wanted Uchiha Kō to agree. Hashirama only had the village in his heart, but she was different. She also had her grandchildren and her family in her heart!
After hesitating for a long time, Uchiha Kō finally slowly exhaled, "Grandma, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight. From this day forward, I, Uchiha Kō, will shoulder the fate of the three clans!"
As he received the Sealing Scroll from Uzumaki Mito, his words reached both Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade, bringing them a sense of relief.
Uzumaki Mito felt a great weight lifted off her shoulders; the burden on her shoulders had lessened considerably. She knew she had let Uchiha Kō, but she had her own thoughts, her own selfish side.
Her family and clan were her concerns; she couldn't prioritize the village entirely like Senju Hashirama.
"Am I being too selfish, Xiao?" Uzumaki Mito said sadly.
Uchiha Kō shook his head. "This is only human nature, Lady Mito, there's no need to blame yourself."
Uzumaki Mito sighed, "Xiao, I'm entrusting all of this to you!" After saying that, Uzumaki Mito bowed.
This terrified Uchiha Kō, who quickly stopped Uzumaki Mito, saying, "Grandma, you're exaggerating."
"Good boy, use your Sharingan to imprint the Book of Sealing into your mind. When you practice forbidden techniques in the future, you can come to the Senju Clan Compound's training ground. It's very safe here, and there's no surveillance." Uzumaki Mito smiled.
Uchiha Kō nodded, instantly activating his Mangekyō Sharingan and imprinting all the text on the Book of Sealing into his mind.
"Ding! Detection indicates the host has obtained the complete version of the Book of Sealing. Rewards: Flying Thunder God Technique (Complete), Bringer-of-Darkness Technique (Complete), Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu Complete)."
The system's rewards this time are quite generous, directly awarding three Ninjutsu to perfection. As for other Ninjutsu such as Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags and Multi Shadow Clone Technique, no rewards were given.
Uchiha Kō immediately channeled his Chakra and pressed it onto the ground, leaving behind the Flying Thunder God Mark.
His mark, like his Mangekyo, was a wheel-shaped Tomoe. Uzumaki Mito's pupils contracted; she naturally understood what Uchiha Kō's mark meant.
The Flying Thunder God Technique! It wasn't that she hadn't seen Senju Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique before, but Uchiha Kō learned it after only seeing it once. Wasn't that a bit...?
"Xiao, is that the Flying Thunder God Technique?" Uzumaki Mito was stunned, somewhat incredulous.
"That's right, Grandma, this is indeed the Flying Thunder God Technique!" Uchiha Kō's face lit up with joy, his eyes shining. He could teleport here anytime he wanted.
Tsunade, Tsunade. What was going on? The Lord of the Owl had only been in contact with the Book of Sealing for less than thirty minutes and had already learned a Ninjutsu?
God is so unfair!
Uzumaki Mito went from astonishment to ecstasy. She had thought that Uchiha Kō was highly skilled in Ninjutsu, but she never expected him to be this Ninjutsu!
Even Senju Tobirama couldn't have done that! She looked at Uchiha Kō, her eyes filled with satisfaction. It seemed she could finally rest easy after Owl's death.
The more monstrous and powerful Uchiha Kō, the more at ease and reassured she felt, because he was her granddaughter's future husband.
Just then, a voice came from outside, "Sis, what are you doing squatting here!" That voice... it sounded familiar! Uchiha Kō remembered.
Isn't that his brother-in-law Nawaki Shu?
Outside, Tsunade was furious. She glared at Nawaki and yelled, "You brat! You're my nemesis, aren't you?!" With that, Tsunade grabbed Nawaki's ear and walked away.
Uzumaki Mito laughed out loud, "Haha, Xiao, you go back first, I'll go check on things, don't let my grandson get beaten too badly."
"Cough cough, Grandma, we're all family, I'll go with you!" Uchiha Kō said righteously; he definitely didn't want to see his brother-in-law get beaten up.
Uzumaki Mito nodded. "That's fine. After all, you'll all be family from now on. It'll be good to see the atmosphere!"
After saying that, he led Uchiha Kō slowly toward the direction Tsunade had left.
