"What was the last thing I said?" Mikoto had already forgotten.
"My energy is limitless!" Araki said with a smile.
"You're lying again!"
Uchiha Mikoto pouted her rosy lips in dissatisfaction and stuck her tongue out at Araki. This guy can be really unreasonable sometimes. If he doesn't want to say something, he shouldn't say it at all, but he deliberately goes along with her words to tease her.
Hehehe...
Araki smiled casually and didn't say anything more. Actually, he had been quite honest with Uchiha Mikoto. Every time she asked him, he told her the truth, but she just didn't believe him.
He confessed to killing Sora Hyuga.
He also admitted that he had unlimited energy.
But you don't believe me!
Then you can't blame anyone else!
"Crunch..."
Just then, Kushina opened the door to the room and came out, holding a large scroll in her hand.
Here, for you.
Uchiha Mikoto handed the scroll directly to Araki. Her expression was quite complicated, but she didn't say anything extra, as if she felt that this was no problem for her.
"Thank you so much!"
Araki stood up, took the scroll, and then, in front of the two girls, opened it and began to read.
"You've already started watching?" Kushina was taken aback, and Mikoto's face showed the same shock.
"Since it's for learning, and we already have it, of course we should read it through first," Araki nodded and said.
"Does he have to be so eager to learn?" Mikoto's lips twitched slightly. Now she truly understood just how stubborn Araki was.
"Make the most of every minute!" Araki said this last sentence before focusing his attention on the scroll and remaining silent.
Gradually.
Time passed second by second.
Araki just watched quietly, barely moving except to move the scroll, completely absorbed in it.
His focused demeanor instantly caught the attention of the two girls.
Neither woman left.
Under any other circumstances, they would have found this extremely boring and would not have wanted to continue watching, choosing instead to do something more meaningful.
But things are different now...
Both of them felt that this was the most meaningful thing, and the scene before them was so captivating.
over time.
An hour has passed.
Araki remains in this state.
None of the three people moved.
After another half hour, Araki finally looked away from the scroll and let out a long sigh of relief.
"I see!"
Araki's pupils first showed a sense of unfocus, which was the result of suddenly separating after focusing for too long. Then his gaze became deep, and strange spells appeared in his mind.
"The talisman seals Ninjutsu within it, which is then activated by Chakra, thus granting the user the ability to perform Ninjutsu."
"The scroll is a more complex Ninjutsu, similar to a looping technique, divided into two parts: an activation technique and a Sealing Jutsu. The activation technique releases the sealed Ninjutsu, and the Sealing Jutsu seals the released Ninjutsu back at the end."
"In comparison, scrolls have four more steps, making them exponentially more difficult to produce. If even one part fails, the entire process is ruined."
"Although I haven't asked about the price yet, the scroll is definitely several times more expensive than the Explosive Tag. It's truly a massive undertaking."
Araki muttered to himself. In fact, he discovered many tricks here that he hadn't thought of when making talismans before. In other words, even if he wasn't making scrolls now, reading the contents of the current scroll would still greatly improve him.
"I suddenly had a strange idea!"
As Araki spoke, he immediately closed the scroll in his hand, placed it on the table, and then walked to his schoolbag, taking out another scroll from inside.
This scroll was given to him by Kushina some time ago.
The vast majority of the records above concern how to use talisman paper.
At the time, he didn't make every single talisman because he felt that the easiest to sell was the Explosive Tag. Once he developed an Explosive Tag, he would have a way to make money.
But...
After this process of understanding, he discovered something very interesting.
Instantly.
Araki immediately turned to look at the back of the scroll.
"Really!"
Araki's eyes lit up as he focused on a description of a Sealing Jutsu located towards the back of the scroll.
Sealing Tag!
A spell that seals Sealing Jutsu within a talisman to form a talisman!
Note: In addition to Sealing Jutsu, other techniques can also be sealed, which the creator can explore on their own.
Hahahaha!
Upon seeing the words on it, Araki immediately threw his head back and burst into laughter, feeling a great sense of relief.
In the past, he hadn't paid much attention to the Explosive Tag, focusing most of his energy on them. Therefore, he hadn't looked at the Sealing Tag in detail, simply holding onto the most basic understanding that Sealing Jutsu was just Sealing Jutsu, the kind of talisman that could seal other things.
For Araki, the most impressive thing about this kind of sealing talisman was that when the reincarnated army of the dirty land came, they were sealed by the talismans with the word "sealing" written on them one by one.
This creates a fixed mindset.
It wasn't until he saw the scrolls and discovered that each scroll contained Sealing Jutsu technique— Sealing Jutsu that resealed the spell—that he suddenly felt enlightened.
"?????"
Kushina and Mikoto tilted their heads, looking at Araki who was overjoyed, completely bewildered as to why Araki was so happy, wondering if they had missed something.
"I finally understand!"
After saying this, Araki picked up the test paper on the table and the scroll in his hand, and stuffed them into his schoolbag.
Then he put the bag with the blank symbol into his schoolbag as well.
After completing these steps...
Araki slung his backpack over his shoulder and headed straight outside.
"Clang!"
With a heavy slam of the door closing, Kushina and Mikoto realized that Araki had really left without saying a word.
"?????"
Kushina and Mikoto exchanged glances, both seeing the question mark in each other's eyes. Neither of them understood what was going on. Araki was like a riddle teller, not explaining anything at all.
"What did Araki understand?" After a moment of silence, Mikoto couldn't help but ask first.
"How would I know..." Kushina smile.
"You didn't give him that scroll. Don't you know what's in it?" Mikoto asked doubtfully.
"I know, but I don't know how! I haven't even learned it yet. Besides, even if I did know, I wouldn't understand what he was saying!" Kushina was also helpless.
"Has he always been like this?" Mikoto asked again, puzzled.
"No, it wasn't like this before. It's only started acting strangely these past few days," Kushina said after a moment's thought.
"Oh~"
Uchiha Mikoto's dark eyes darted around, and a strange thought popped into her mind.
Could it be that...
He suddenly did this...
Because of me?!
Uchiha Mikoto felt that Araki hadn't acted this way before, it must be because of her arrival here. In addition, even though she hadn't had much contact with Araki during this time, they still had some daily interactions.
Is Araki deliberately trying to get my attention?
After thinking about this, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes suddenly widened, her pupils slightly contracting. The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, this person who had always seemed so low-key appeared to be constantly revealing her true colors in front of her.
Thinking about this...
She glanced at Kushina discreetly.
It was discovered that the latter did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
What should we do?
Kushina seems to have a strong liking for Araki!
This puts me in a very difficult position!

Araki raced towards the grove at breakneck speed, his current task being to stimulate the green Chakra within his heart by increasing his heart rate.
This will allow him to quickly recover from his physical fatigue and fully replenish his Chakra.
He had almost exhausted his Chakra while learning Mystical Palm Technique from Tsunade.
This also made Araki acutely aware of his own Chakra deficiency!
That's too little!
That's so poor!
Even the Mystical Palm Technique can't last long!
