Sealing Arts and Cultivation Achievements

By alternating rest between the left and right sides, the cells would not become overly fatigued. Although this approach slightly reduced the speed of chakra refinement, it maintained a relatively steady and efficient pace.

Because Yashui was now only using half of his body to refine chakra, he could focus his efforts with greater intensity. During this process, Yashui discovered many cells that contained abundant chakra but had never been utilized by him before.

Upon discovering these cells, Yashui was overjoyed and spent an entire day searching his body for those that had been neglected.

He didn't realize it until he looked, but the discovery truly startled him.

By mobilizing every cell capable of refining chakra, his total chakra volume had increased by more than half compared to before.

Now, Yashui began to feel a growing sense of confidence in his own level. Having read the original Naruto series, Yashui knew that this type of training was not a mandatory course for everyone. In other words, a significant number of ninjas were unaware that there were still many undeveloped parts within their own bodies.

Yashui did not intend to speak of this training to others. It was not out of selfishness, but because in the world of Naruto, every household's unique ninjutsu was not to be taught to outsiders, much like the sect inheritances in Chinese martial arts.

Look at how powerful Sage Mode was; did Jiraiya not refrain from teaching the cultivation method to the Konoha he loved so dearly? It was precisely because Jiraiya's Sage Mode was passed down through the lineage of the Toad Sage.

Yashui's theories and training were passed down through the lineage of the Hundred Bird Nest, and without the permission of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, he naturally could not pass them on to others.

Twenty days had passed. According to his agreement with the Three-Legged Golden Crow, it was about time to visit the Hundred Bird Nest again.

After performing the hand seals for the Reverse Summoning Technique, Yashui traveled to the Hundred Bird Nest.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow had already been waiting at the Sun Palace for some time.

"Yashui, have your Sharingan activated without your conscious intent in these past few days?" The Three-Legged Golden Crow was more concerned about Yashui's physical condition than his training progress. This caused a wave of warmth to wash over Yashui's heart.

"Ever since you placed that genjutsu trap on me last time, the Sharingan has not activated again," Yashui replied respectfully.

"That is good." The Three-Legged Golden Crow said to Yashui with a hint of guilt, "I fear that I am no longer able to deal with your current situation."

"?!" Yashui felt a sense of disappointment, but upon second thought, perhaps his expectations had been too high to begin with. Sealing away these eyes with sealing techniques was never going to be that simple.

"I have asked the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, the White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave, and the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest. None of them have any good solutions." The Three-Legged Golden Crow shifted the tone, "However, I heard from the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku that the Fourth Hokage of your Konoha, Minato Namikaze, possessed a wide variety of sealing techniques. If you could find his sealing arts, perhaps they could help you."

"Minato Namikaze is long dead." Yashui regretted not telling the Three-Legged Golden Crow about the Nine-Tails' rampage in Konoha, "Over a decade ago, the Nine-Tails wreaked havoc in Konoha, and the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to seal it."

"I know," said the Three-Legged Golden Crow, "When I was at Mount Myōboku, the Toad Sage told me everything that happened that night. I have gained some understanding of the Fourth Hokage."

"The Fourth Hokage's sealing techniques were learned from his wife, Kushina Uzumaki. In other words, those were the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki Clan. I am not asking you to find the Fourth Hokage, but to find the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques that he utilized." The Three-Legged Golden Crow said regretfully, "The sealing techniques of the Uzumaki Clan were far too powerful; even I held them in high regard. It is a pity that the Uzumaki Clan was wiped out during the wars, and their sealing arts have been lost."

"If they are already lost, who can I go to for help..." Yashui fell back into disappointment. Just when he finally had a glimmer of hope, he was told that the techniques capable of helping him were lost to history.

Some of the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques still existed, such as the one Naruto used immediately after defeating the Nine-Tails, the one Kushina Uzumaki used to restrain the Nine-Tails, or the one Karin Uzumaki used against the Wood Style: Thousand-Armed Kannon during the Fourth Great Ninja War. However, these sealing techniques were less like ordinary ninjutsu and more like the bloodline limits of the Uzumaki Clan; even they themselves did not know how to activate them, let alone outsiders.

"Yashui, do not be disheartened." Seeing Yashui so dejected, the Three-Legged Golden Crow seemed to feel a pang of sympathy, "Once you become a powerful ninja and expand your social network, someone will naturally tell you who possesses the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques."

"Understood..." Yashui nodded. The Three-Legged Golden Crow's long-winded consolation could be summarized by the four words: "Leave it to fate."

"Yashui, how is your training coming along?" the Three-Legged Golden Crow asked.

"It is ready." Yashui took out two jin of rice wine and, using the method he had devised, brought the wine to a boil in no time.

"Very good." The Three-Legged Golden Crow nodded with satisfaction, "You understand the principle behind it now, don't you?"

"Yes, I understand." Yashui nodded. It turned out the Three-Legged Golden Crow had known what to do all along, but the creature's teaching style seemed to prefer letting the student find their own way to meet the requirements.

"Try using the Fire Style of your Uchiha Clan and see how it compares to before."

Hearing the Three-Legged Golden Crow's words, Yashui felt a shiver of dread. He did not actually know any Fire Style ninjutsu; he should only be able to use the techniques required for graduation from the Ninja Academy. Yet, looking at the original Naruto series, it seemed that the Uchiha Clan learned Fire Style ninjutsu at a very young age.

Most of the Uchiha Clan didn't even bother with chakra paper testing; they would just roll up their sleeves and start learning Fire Style.

Just as Yashui thought about Fire Style, something strange happened again: the Sharingan activated on its own. But at this moment, Yashui had absolutely no intention of activating the Sharingan.

Following the automatic activation of the Sharingan, the genjutsu trap implanted in Yashui's brain was triggered. Yashui was hit by the genjutsu and collapsed to the ground, only waking up after a long while.

Fortunately, the genjutsu was still able to suppress the incomplete Sharingan. After being hit by the genjutsu, the Sharingan vanished.

At that moment, Yashui inexplicably gained knowledge of three basic C-rank Fire Style techniques of the Uchiha lineage: Great Fireball, Phoenix Sage Fire, and Dragon Fire Technique.

Furious, Yashui punched the floor in anger. Even with the genjutsu trap acting as a suppressant, the Sharingan would still activate automatically against his will.

"Yashui, what just happened?" the Three-Legged Golden Crow asked.

"My Sharingan activated without permission again, and then it triggered the genjutsu trap," Yashui replied truthfully.
