Chapter 34

But he was afraid Tsunade would make a scene and smash up the **, so he had no choice but to call over a Root shinobi and order him to go give ** a heads-up in advance and explain the situation clearly.

A little after three in the afternoon,

Tsunade finally walked out of the **.

"Damn! My luck was way too bad today!"

"And one million ryo was gone way too fast! It didn't even last two hours before it was all gone! If I'd known, I should've asked Danzo for more money back then. What rotten luck!"

She cursed and grumbled as she walked, making her way to Kushina's door.

Once inside, she grabbed Uchiha Yan and explained the entire matter of going to the Hokage Office to discuss the Medical Talisman.

"Don't take it to heart. I already did everything I could to secure these terms."

After saying that, Tsunade added,

"I understand. This is a pretty good result."

Uchiha Yan nodded indifferently. "From the moment I planned to develop this thing, I already guessed it would turn out this way."

"No village could stand by and watch something capable of changing the balance of war remain in one person's hands while they got nothing."

"Being able to exchange it for a chance to learn a jutsu from the Book of Seals is already more than enough for me."

Besides, he already had plenty of ways to make money now.

The more Uchiha Yan thought about it, the more worthwhile the deal seemed. He held the Medical Talisman technique in his hands.

If he kept it, at most he could win the Uchiha clan some privileges and make a little money. But in exchange, the entire village would become jealous and suppress them, while the Uchiha would be targeted even more harshly.

It was better to hand it over to the village and exchange it for real benefits.

He had long had his eyes on the Flying Raijin Technique in the Book of Seals. With his Uchiha background, there was no chance he could touch it through normal channels.

Now the opportunity had come knocking.

To be honest, he had only developed the Medical Talisman on a whim.

But after thinking it through, he had lost nothing and gained plenty—the recognition of Tsunade, the chance to study Sealing Jutsu, an opportunity to build a relationship with Kushina, and soon, the Flying Raijin Technique.

This deal had earned him a fortune.

Moreover, his experience making Medical Talismans would serve as the foundation for developing other jutsu talismans in the future.

As for those, he had no intention of handing them over again.

"You've been wronged!"

Tsunade reached out and rubbed his head, her tone carrying a hint of pride. "I'm in a good mood today. Since you're learning Sealing Jutsu, I'll teach you another special technique."

Before Uchiha Yan could speak, Kushina cut in first. Tilting her head, she guessed, "Sealing Jutsu? What else is there that I can't teach? Could it be the Yin Seal?"

Tsunade snapped her fingers.

"Correct! It's the Yin Seal!"

Uchiha Yan immediately looked up and stared at the mark between Tsunade's brows. "Is it the seal on your forehead, Tsunade?"

Of course he knew what the Yin Seal was—that was merely information from his previous life. Now he had to pretend it was his first time hearing about it.

"That's right."

Tsunade touched the mark between her brows and nodded. She pulled a scroll from her robe and handed it over. "Here. Read it yourself first. Ask me immediately if there's anything you don't understand."

She paused, her tone turning serious. "I know your comprehension is monstrous, but this technique is dangerous. It concerns the Mental Sea between your brows, so there can't be even the slightest mistake. Don't act on your own."

"Tch—"

Kushina puffed out her cheeks. "I have a scroll on the Yin Seal too."

Tsunade reached out and poked her puffed-up cheek, adding with a laugh, "But you can't use it."

Kushina was rendered speechless. She snorted unhappily. "Sorry that I can't! I'm just young, so my spiritual power isn't strong enough, and my will isn't firm enough either. Besides, I don't need it right now."

In truth, she was desperate to master the Yin Seal as soon as possible.

However, the ability to store chakra was not that important to her. The chakra reserves of the Uzumaki Clan meant she had no need to worry about that.

What Kushina truly cared about was the Yin Seal's remarkable effect, which nearly allowed one to retain eternal youth.

Still, she was somewhat uneasy. "Yan is only three years old. Is he really okay learning this?"

Tsunade waved her hand indifferently. "Relax!"

"If he can't learn it, then no one in the entire Ninja World can."

"Don't let his age fool you. His spiritual power is absurdly strong—even I have to admit inferiority."

To be honest, Tsunade was also puzzled by how Yan's spiritual power could be so abnormal.

It far surpassed that of ordinary people in both quantity and quality.

But she had never asked.

Everyone had their own ** secret.

"Really?"

After hearing that, Kushina looked at Uchiha Yan beside her, her tone filled with envy. "You're so lucky!"

"Hehe."

Uchiha Yan smiled at her and immediately comforted her. "Don't worry. Once I learn this technique, I'll try improving it and see if I can lower the threshold for cultivation."

He felt that it was not an impossible task.

"Really? Can it be done?"

Kushina's eyes instantly lit up.

Tsunade also leaned over curiously. "You aren't just bragging, are you?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. I just need some time. We can talk about it after I finish learning all the Sealing Jutsu."

Uchiha Yan shrugged.

To be honest, he had already been interested in the Yin Seal for a long time.

He had previously been racking his brains over how to obtain it from Tsunade.

He had not expected to get it so easily this time.

It seemed that developing the Medical Talisman and throwing out this bait had been the right move.

The anime from his previous life had not explained many details about the Yin Seal.

But Uchiha Yan had already formed his own theories.

He undid the seal on the scroll and spread it open, reading through it carefully.

With his photographic memory and monstrous spiritual power, he finished reading it in no time.

He had already figured out most of it.

"Just as I thought. This thing is connected to the Spiritual Consciousness Sea. Put simply, it concerns the Upper Dantian. It takes an unconventional path, using spatial Sealing Jutsu to open up the Spiritual Consciousness Sea."

"Whoever created this technique was definitely a genius."

Uchiha Yan sighed inwardly.

Since it involved the Spiritual Consciousness Sea, he did not dare act recklessly.

He decided to first thoroughly learn all the Sealing Jutsu alongside Kushina, then return to tackle the Yin Seal.

By then, he planned to use this technique as a stepping stone and combine it with his Spirit Refining Method to deduce a truly complete method for opening the Upper Dantian.

Otherwise, he would be wasting his own potential and intelligence.

When it came to anything involving the Spiritual Consciousness Sea, one could never be too careful.

"Can you understand it? Are you stuck anywhere?"

Tsunade asked curiously.

She also wanted to see whether this technique could actually stump Uchiha Yan.

"It's all right. There's quite a bit of profound Sealing Jutsu knowledge hidden inside. I plan to finish learning Sealing Jutsu first, then come back and study it in depth."

Uchiha Yan answered at once.

"All right, I understand." Tsunade nodded. "There's considerable risk in practicing this technique, so it's good that you're being careful."

She yawned. "You two keep studying. I'll be off. I'm busy from morning to night."

After saying that, she stretched lazily. When she stood, the curves of her upper body were particularly striking.

Then she left and returned to her own courtyard.

Over the next dozen days, Uchiha Yan went to Kushina's place on time every day to study Sealing Jutsu.

The old and young pair studied together, and their relationship grew by leaps and bounds.

Put simply, both of them were shamelessly appearance-conscious, each coveting the other's looks.

During that time, Mikoto heard that Yan was studying Sealing Jutsu with Kushina and also came over several times.

The Anbu and Root shinobi hidden in the darkness saw everything, but the Third Hokage and Danzo had given orders beforehand, so no one interfered.

[...Your Four Black Mist Formation has reached its maximum level.]

[...Your Four Violet Flames Formation has also reached perfection.]

[...The Four Red Yang Formation has likewise reached the maximum level.]

[...You have fully comprehended the Sealing Barrier Technique and even developed a Sealing Barrier Technique 2.0 on your own.]
