My Enlightenment, Your Unreachable End!

"Kuming, repeat after me!"

"Come, Scroll of Sealing~"

Inside the residence of Uzumaki Mito, Uzumaki Kuming was held in her arms, using his underdeveloped vocal cords to read text that was obscure and difficult for a child to grasp.

NeiNei~ The moment he saw the Scroll of Sealing, Uzumaki Kuming was dumbfounded. Heaven knows why the Scroll of Sealing, which recorded the most forbidden jutsu inside and outside of Konoha in history, would appear in Uzumaki Mito's home. And looking at her, it seemed she intended to use this book as a children's primer for him.

However, Kuming had some guesses in his heart. What was the Scroll of Sealing? It was a scroll recording almost every forbidden jutsu in Konoha. And since the founding of the village, who knew the most forbidden jutsu? Without a doubt, that had to be the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju! And who was the person who led the compilation of the Scroll of Sealing? The Second Hokage!

And what was the Second Hokage to Uzumaki Mito? He was her foolish little brother! Calculating it this way, it wasn't impossible for Uzumaki Mito to have control over the Scroll of Sealing. Although it was said that the scroll was kept by successive Hokages, that depended on the era, didn't it? At the very least, as long as she was around, it was highly likely the scroll would remain in the Senju household.

Uzumaki Kuming, who had a strong interest in the scroll, saw his little face fall the moment he tried to speak. He clearly wanted to read along with Uzumaki Mito, but who knew that when the words reached his lips, they turned into NeiNei~. Perhaps his brain had been filled with nothing but these thoughts for the past two years.

"Hmm..."

"Are your vocal cords not developed enough yet? You can't even say 'Grandma,' always making strange sounds."

Uzumaki Mito gently rubbed the red fuzz on Kuming's head and spoke softly. The Japanese pronunciation for grandmother was nothing like NeiNei; Kuming had maintained his old habits when speaking. The sound o ba san was perhaps still too difficult for him, let alone the Scroll of Sealing~

"It seems it's still too early." Uzumaki Mito didn't know why she was so anxious to start the enlightenment of a two-year-old; perhaps it was the intense sense of urgency brought on by the limits of her lifespan.

Uzumaki Mito treated Kuming as her own grandson. After all, they were true kin. When Tsunade and Nawaki were both sent out on missions, Kuming was the only one left to keep her company. Even Uzumaki Kushina had been sent to the Ninja Academy, and having found friends there, she was already starting to spend less time at home.

Just as Uzumaki Mito felt it was too early to teach Kuming to speak and read and moved to put the scroll away, she found Kuming sprawled across it. As she reached for the scroll to pull it away, Kuming began to wail.

"Little thing, you can't even understand it, what's the use of holding onto it?" Uzumaki Mito patted Kuming's head, smiled, and didn't force it away.

"Good stuff~ Good stuff~" Although he couldn't understand it, that didn't stop Kuming from expressing what he wanted!

Seeing that Mito didn't take it away by force, Kuming climbed off the scroll and pointed at the large characters on the outside, trying his best to read along with her. He didn't even realize that his drool was about to hit the floor~

Regarding the recognition of text, Uzumaki Kuming, who had transmigrated here, was actually illiterate. He didn't know the characters, but he could still understand some things when others explained them to him. He would absolutely not let go of this opportunity to legitimately come into contact with the Scroll of Sealing, even if he couldn't read the text yet.

"It seems I'm too impatient. I should teach him with more patience." Seeing Kuming's effort to speak, Mito smiled, sat back down with him in her arms, and took a cloth to wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth~

In the days that followed, Uzumaki Kuming's life began to fill up; he was no longer just sleeping or drinking milk like before. A new matter that filled him with interest had entered his life: learning to read and speak! And the book used for his enlightenment was the Scroll of Sealing.

After all, Kuming retained the consciousness of an adult. Although his speech was affected by the development of his vocal cords and he couldn't speak very clearly, he learned to recognize characters very quickly. He didn't foolishly start practicing the jutsu recorded in the scroll—after all, he hadn't truly begun his training. He could understand what the characters written on it were, but once they were connected, he didn't understand what on earth they meant~

The jutsu recorded in the Scroll of Sealing were all legendary forbidden techniques; they weren't easy to practice~ Even if Kuming had the chance to practice them, he wouldn't be foolish enough to attempt forbidden jutsu at such a young age. Forbidden jutsu were called such because, firstly, they had immense power, and secondly, they caused harm to the practitioner's body.

Although he hadn't learned a single jutsu from the scroll, relying on his brain, he deeply memorized everything he had studied.

Two years later!

"Kuming, focus on controlling your chakra. Let it circulate in the direction you intend."

Inside Uzumaki Mito's residence, Kuming was sitting in the center of a dojo, his bottom cushioned by a soft mat. At the head of the room, Uzumaki Mito sat cross-legged on the tatami, watching Kuming circulate his chakra.

In the courtyard outside the dojo, Uzumaki Kushina was practicing kunai throwing techniques accompanied by a nanny. She was already 11 years old this year and would soon face the Ninja Academy graduation exam.

Suddenly, a loud bang erupted from the dojo, followed by flying wood chips. A powerful shockwave sent Uzumaki Kushina tumbling forward, where she rolled twice~

"BOOM!!!!!"

The massive sound carried far into the distance~

"What happened?" Uzumaki Kushina struggled to climb up from the ground, turning back to see a shocking sight.

The entrance to the dojo had been transformed into a large, semicircular hole. Visible currents of chakra swirled in the air, with streaks of electricity wrapping around the chakra, flaunting their power. The roof of the dojo had been completely blown off, turning the indoor space into an open-air dojo.

Inside, dust swirled. Uzumaki Mito was now enveloped in red chakra, with a crimson chakra tail flickering behind her, dispersing the dust. After the explosion, Mito waved her hand, and a powerful hurricane formed by chakra instantly blew away the smoke, revealing the figure in the center of the dojo.

Holy crap! I've caused trouble! Four-year-old Uzumaki Kuming stood in the center of the dojo, his entire body wreathed in blue chakra flickering with lightning, his long red hair dancing in the wind from the shockwave. Despite such a violent explosion, Uzumaki Kuming stood in the center of the dojo completely unscathed. He was currently staring at his masterpiece in a daze, frozen.

"This powerful chakra... it actually contains Lightning Release chakra nature transformation as well."

"How did this little guy manage to do this?"

Uzumaki Mito looked at the culprit in the center of the room, secretly astonished. However, she quickly erected a barrier around the entire residence, blocking the Konoha ninjas rushing in from the outside, preventing anyone from investigating the situation inside.

"Kuming, retract your chakra!" Under Mito's command, Kuming subconsciously began to release his control over the chakra, and the violent energy in the dojo began to slowly subside.

"Kuming! Grandma Mito, are you okay?" Just then, Uzumaki Kushina's voice reached their ears. Outside the blown-open hole was Kushina's anxious little face.

"Sister, I'm fine..."
