Not to mention Wood Release Ninjutsu!
Currently, the only Wood Release Ninjutsu he can use is vines in a certain area; even wooden strips are difficult to create.
I have to say...
This thing drains mana way too fast!
He ran out of Chakra after just a couple of quick movements.
Forget about fighting anyone, just by adopting this stance, you're basically a lamb to the slaughter.
During his recovery, Araki began to think about the talisman paper.
"I used to think that Sealing Tag were just Sealing Tag, but now I've realized that Sealing Tag are more than just Sealing Tag."
" Sealing Tag are just a general term for this type of talisman!"
"If what I sealed inside was Sealing Jutsu, then strictly speaking, it's Sealing Tag!"
"But if I'm sealing a different kind of technique, then it can be called Sealing Tag, or any other kind of talisman. It all depends on what kind of technique I'm sealing!"
"I only understood this after I saw the scroll!"
"When making the Explosive Tag Explosive Tag, what's sealed inside isn't Fire Release Ninjutsu, but a special formula. That formula can explode, creating power similar to a high-level Fire Release Ninjutsu. At the time, I mistakenly thought all talismans were made this way, but now I understand that I can also seal high-level Fire Release Ninjutsu inside talismans. In that case, it wouldn't be called Explosive Tag, but Fire Style Tag."
"Depending on the Sealing Jutsu, different characters will be generated. The character for Explosive Tag is the character 'explosion,' while the Fire Style Tag should be the character 'fire.' Theoretically speaking, as long as you find me and understand the conversion relationship between Ninjutsu and the strokes of the technique, you can seal any Ninjutsu into a talisman."
"The same principle applies to sealing it inside a scroll!"
"To put it simply, the scroll is Sealing Jutsu with five layers of enchantment. The first layer is the spell that seals the spell. Explosive Tag as an example; it's the method I use to create Explosive Tag. But the scroll has four more layers of enchantment."
"The second step is Residual Array Seal. Both the Explosive Tag and the Summoning Tag are single-use items. Once used, the spell on the scroll disappears, so you need to seal the remaining spells after use."
"The third step is sealing with Sealing Jutsu. A Sealing Jutsu is sealed into the scroll. After the spell is used up, the remaining spell is sealed again, the brushstrokes are regenerated, and the scroll is completed."
"The fourth round is the Cycle Seal, which mainly seals the newly generated spell for repeated use in a cycle."
"The fifth step is the Scroll Seal. It involves comprehensively resealing the initial spell, the sealing spell, and the four seals—the incomplete linked Residual Array Seal and the Cycle Seal —restoring the scroll to its initial state."
"It may seem like I simply injected Chakra to complete these processes, but in reality, the person who made the scroll had already written it at the brushstroke stage, creating a reusable scroll. The steps involved are quite complex."
"This gave me an insight: the Sealing Jutsu within Sealing Jutsu can reseal used Ninjutsu. Essentially, it's a Sealing Jutsu for a Ninjutsu. If used on talisman paper, it might create a complete Sealing Tag."
"If I'm not mistaken, that's how it should be!"
Araki was completely absorbed in his thoughts, so much so that the branches around him kept passing by without disturbing his thinking.
"So here's the question..."
"If this is feasible..."
"Why didn't the Uzumaki Clan write this Sealing Jutsu on a talisman scroll? Instead, they wrote it on a scroll within a scroll. The Sealing Jutsu Sealing Jutsu on the talisman scroll still uses brushstrokes."
If it's not feasible, then forget it.
"If it works..."
"That might be a cost issue!"
"That's too much trouble. People who can do it that way are deliberately making scrolls!"
"It's like the instruction manual for the Dragon-Slaying Saber not mentioning its vegetable-cutting function!"
"..."
Araki's mind raced as he pondered the matter. The green Chakra spread through his body, activating his cells and restoring his bodily functions, making his brain more active and his thinking faster.
"Um?"
Suddenly.
Araki's train of thought came to a halt.
Years of cultivation had allowed him to maximize his perception upon entering the forest. Even as he was deep in thought, he was still sensing the flow of air around him.
It's anger!
There is gas!
Someone's coming!
And... there were quite a few people!
Araki stopped immediately. He stood in the clearing in the woods, and before he could put down the bag in his hand, several figures appeared in front of him.
Araki immediately looked at the group of people and suddenly realized that he recognized the person standing at the front as Uchiha Nanagen'u, whom he had questioned at the Ninja Academy before.
besides.
The rest of the people.
They were all dressed in Konoha ninja attire, with the Uchiha Clan's fire fan symbol on the shoulders of their inner garments.
People from the Konoha Military Police Force of Konoha!
Araki remained completely calm upon seeing these people. After all, he had already anticipated that the Konoha Military Police Force would intervene sooner or later. This time, it wasn't some small fry like Sora Hyuga who was in trouble, but Jonin like Dan Katō, an invaluable combat resource.
" Araki?"
Uchiha Nanagen'u frowned slightly, his dark eyes fixed on Araki. He recognized Araki the moment he saw Araki and called out his name.
"My lord!" Araki immediately bowed respectfully, secretly astonished. This Uchiha Clan member had an exceptionally good memory. Despite spending his days capturing people, he could still remember a student he had met half a year ago.
"What are you doing here?"
Uchiha Nanagen'u clearly had no intention of reminiscing; his casual remarks carried an interrogative tone, and also revealed a hint of arrogance that even he himself was unaware of.
This is an old tradition of the Uchiha Clan!
It wasn't intentionally targeting Araki, nor was it only present in this Uchiha Nanagen'u.
The Uchiha Clan occupied almost all the positions in the Konoha Military Police Force; it was more accurate to call it the Konoha Military Police Force of Konoha than the Uchiha Military Police Force.
Not only that.
The Konoha Military Police Force wielded exceptionally great power.
The Konoha Military Police Force manages almost every trivial matter, and also assumes the responsibilities of urban management officers. Wherever they go, they act arrogantly.
Over time.
This gradually cultivated such an arrogant personality.
Araki didn't have any particular thoughts; he didn't care about other people's opinions at all. But just because he didn't care didn't mean others didn't. Many people in the village had been treated unfairly by the Konoha Military Police Force and had nowhere to seek justice, which gradually led to a lot of resentment.
They also harbored great resentment towards the arrogance of the Uchiha Clan.
"Cultivation."
Araki said calmly. He knew how he should behave. He hadn't done anything wrong, so there was no need for him to be deliberately afraid of the Konoha Military Police Force.
"Coming to cultivate at night?" another member of the Konoha Military Police Force asked in confusion.
I practice my meditation here every night.
Araki spoke frankly, then looked directly at Uchiha Nanagen'u. He could tell that this person was their leader, and that this person had dealt with Sora Hyuga's affairs, so he also knew about his nighttime training.
What's in your bag?
Uchiha Nanagen'u didn't dwell too much on the matter of nighttime training; his gaze was fixed on the backpack behind Araki.
"If I remember correctly, you practice Taijutsu at night, so there's no need for you to bring a bag."
"Is there something wrong with a backpack?" Araki was taken aback.
"The backpack is correct, but something has happened. We hope you will cooperate with us and open it so we can see it," Uchiha Nanagen'u said coldly.
"For you!"
Araki was very dissatisfied with this behavior, but he didn't show it. This was the way the Konoha Military Police Force operated in Konoha. It wouldn't do him any good to confront them head-on.
In particular, Dan Katō's affair was indeed somewhat related to him.
As the saying goes!
If you don't court death, you won't die!
The important thing now is to quell their doubts when they see me, not to indulge in some worthless pride, which will only put me in a more passive position.
Especially if you offend the Uchiha Clan, they will hold a grudge and come to you to investigate whatever happens in the future, which is extremely annoying.
That's all.
Araki simply took the bag off his back.
He casually tossed it to Uchiha Nanagen'u was standing not far away.
Instantly.
Uchiha Nanagen'u caught the bag that Araki threw to him, and throughout the process, he kept a close eye on the changes in Araki's facial expression.
At this moment, he did not activate his Sharingan, but he still possessed superhuman vision and insight. He did not detect the slightest panic or confusion on Araki's face; Araki's attitude was completely "feel free to investigate."
Often, when they determine whether someone is acting deliberately, the first thing they judge is whether they are flustered.
Throughout the entire process, no one paid any attention to the backpack.
It's not open yet.
He knew there was nothing there.
but.
We should still take a look.
Uchiha Nanagen'u immediately opened Araki's bag and found two scrolls, two pens, and a small bag.
What are these two scrolls?
Uchiha Nanagen'u asked a question, but as soon as he asked, he had already unrolled the scroll.
One glance is enough to tell what's inside.
" Sealing Jutsu!"
Uchiha Nanagen'u took a deep breath and quickly closed the scroll. After all, they weren't going to steal Araki's techniques; they just needed to make sure the scroll was safe.
Immediately afterwards.
