Scroll of Sealing

The events that transpired in the Land of Rain were not widely publicized in Konoha, and the other great nations remained unaware of the massive battle that had taken place there.

Although Konoha and the various factions had not signed formal peace treaties, the scale of conflict did not escalate; instead, it began to subside.

Peace had arrived.

Time flowed on, and one month later, the election for the Fourth Hokage of Konoha commenced as scheduled.

The process was neither complex nor particularly grand.

After holding a speech within the village, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, announced his abdication while simultaneously declaring the candidates for the Fourth Hokage.

What followed was the voting ceremony for the Jonin, which was essentially a mere formality.

There were no unexpected incidents during this period; everything proceeded as logically as one would expect.

Following the votes of the assembled Jonin, the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze, defeated Orochimaru by an overwhelming margin to become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

Finally, with the consent of the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen officially abdicated, and Minato Namikaze formally became the Fourth Hokage of Konoha in the latter half of Konoha Year 50.

After delivering a grand speech in Konoha, Minato Namikaze officially became the Fourth Hokage, taking charge of the most powerful ninja village in the Shinobi World and ascending to the pinnacle of power.

Upon becoming Hokage, Minato Namikaze immediately established his own Shadow Guard and Anbu.

The Third Hokage's Anbu remained largely under the command of the Third, as he had not yet fully relinquished power to Minato Namikaze at this time.

Building a new Anbu was no easy task; from the selection of personnel to their training, it was not something that could be accomplished in a day or two.

Inside the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze sat in the Hokage's chair, staring blankly at the files piled on his desk. After a long while, he shook his head and sighed.

Becoming Hokage and taking charge of Konoha was not as he had previously imagined.

Too many constraints... Recalling the events from earlier, Minato Namikaze's golden hair seemed to dim slightly.

Just moments ago, he had been embroiled in a dispute with the four advisors of Konoha.

Regarding the newly formed Anbu, he had originally intended to arrange for members of the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan to join, building his own foundation.

However, he never expected that the four elders—Mitokado Homura, Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, and Sarutobi Hiruzen—would explicitly express their disagreement, their attitudes firm and their emotions running high.

They even went so far as to claim that the Uchiha Clan was a naturally evil clan.

For a moment, Minato Namikaze was stunned.

They are people who have also made huge contributions to the prosperity of the village; how can the Third and the others hold such thoughts...

Minato Namikaze felt both indignant and stifled.

Forget it, this matter cannot be rushed; I should fulfill my original promise first. Thinking this, Minato Namikaze knocked heavily on the desk.

Following this, an Anbu wearing a mask knelt before the Hokage's desk.

Minato Namikaze ordered, "Go to the Uchiha Clan and have Uchiha Akira come to the Hokage's office."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." As the Anbu's voice faded, he vanished.

Half an hour later, Uchiha Akira arrived at the Hokage's office and saw Minato Namikaze, who was busy writing documents.

"Hokage-sama." Uchiha Akira greeted him first.

Hearing the voice, Minato Namikaze looked up with a gentle smile, took a large scroll from his drawer, and said, "This is the Sealing Technique. I promised you back then that you could choose two ninjutsu from it."

"Take a look at what you want, and once you've decided, tell me, and I will undo the seal." As Minato Namikaze spoke, he slid the Sealing Technique across the polished desk.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama." Hearing him say this, Uchiha Akira finally remembered this matter.

Uchiha Akira then took the scroll, placed it on a table not far from the Hokage's desk, spread it out, and began to browse.

Although he had forgotten about this, Uchiha Akira already had a plan in mind regarding which ninjutsu he should choose.

As the power levels in the Shinobi World continued to rise, only Taijutsu, Senjutsu, Sealing Technique, Space-Time Ninjutsu, and a few special types of ninjutsu would remain effective in the later stages.

Therefore, Uchiha Akira's choices were naturally limited to these categories.

As a conventional ninja, while the Formation of the Eight Inner Gates was powerful, it did not suit him; thus, he was the first to exclude this potent Taijutsu.

With the Formation of the Eight Inner Gates excluded from his Taijutsu options, Uchiha Akira did not have a better choice for the time being.

"Strength of a Hundred?" As he flipped through, Uchiha Akira's hand paused when he saw a certain chakra-bursting technique of the Senju Clan.

In a sense, it does count as Taijutsu... Uchiha Akira looked at the introduction for Strength of a Hundred and had an idea.

The principle of this technique was the precise control of chakra, which was then gathered in any part of the body and exploded instantaneously to achieve extreme power.

The more powerful the chakra, and the more precise the control over it, the greater the power that could be unleashed.

Just like someone at the level of Tsunade, every time she used Strength of a Hundred, the chakra burst forth with more than ten thousand tons of force; she was practically a large, human-shaped Summoning Beast.

This Strength of a Hundred technique might still be of great use in the future era when the power levels of the Shinobi World soar. Uchiha Akira pondered.

He marked this power-generating technique called 'Strength of a Hundred' as a backup option.

"Flying Thunder God..." Seeing this ninjutsu appear, Uchiha Akira nodded slightly.

Space-Time Ninjutsu had a very long shelf life, as if it were a version that never went obsolete.

From the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, to Boruto Uzumaki in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, the value of Space-Time Ninjutsu had always been immense.

Although he now possessed a Mangekyō Sharingan with Kamui, theoretically, he no longer needed the Flying Thunder God.

However, this Mangekyō Sharingan was not his original pair, and since it was not the Eternal Mangekyō, he might not be able to resolve the issue of his ocular power being sealed in the future.

Therefore, Uchiha Akira also listed the Flying Thunder God as a backup ninjutsu.

Yin Seal? I'll pass on this... After glancing at the description, Uchiha Akira skipped over this powerful S-rank ninjutsu.

The Yin Seal was indeed powerful, capable of storing a massive amount of chakra, but as a member of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Akira was not particularly lacking in chakra.

Since transmigrating here, he had never fought to the point of exhausting his chakra.

In a normal battle, it was very difficult to drain his chakra reserves.

"Spirit Transformation Technique!" Upon seeing this ninjutsu, Uchiha Akira nodded slightly.

This was also one of the ninjutsu he wanted to master.

It was an incredibly powerful S-rank ninjutsu with an extremely high learning difficulty; its creator was unknown, and since the founding of Konoha, only Dan Katō had managed to learn it.

This technique could separate the spirit from the physical body, transforming the user into a spirit form to launch direct attacks, achieving the goal of instantly killing the enemy.

Beyond killing enemies, this technique was also an unlimited sensory ninjutsu. Regardless of the distance or whether he knew the opponent's location, once transformed into a spirit, he could directly perceive their position and arrive instantaneously, or even bestow chakra upon them.

Of course, the applications of this ninjutsu went even further; according to the description, it contained numerous techniques regarding the manipulation of spirits and souls.

It could be said that while in the spirit state, this technique was somewhat similar to the Flying Thunder God, yet it possessed even more comprehensive and versatile functions.
