"Can't you wish for something good about your sister?" Araki said irritably.
"It's just that this is too unusual!" Nawaki chuckled awkwardly. For so long, Araki had always been there without fail, appearing every afternoon. Today, his sudden early appearance left him somewhat bewildered, feeling that something might have gone wrong.
"Let me examine your Yin Seal."
Araki looked down at Nawaki's forehead and immediately saw a diamond-shaped green mark.
It is the Yin Seal!
Just as Tsunade predicted, Nawaki succeeded, which surprised Araki somewhat.
When did this happen?
Araki immediately asked Nawaki, because this matter seemed rather strange. When he left yesterday, Nawaki had not yet shown the Yin Seal, so it should have been around this time yesterday.
"Last night, while I was cultivating, I filled the reservoir with the last bit of water and successfully formed the Yin Seal." Nawaki stuck out his tongue and said, "Does that mean I can go out and play now?"
"Can you use Chakra freely now?" Araki asked Nawaki.
"That's right, I no longer need to control it. The accumulated Chakra has been sealed away. When I need it, I just need to Yin Seal: Release!" Nawaki nodded.
"In that case, there's no problem. You can leave now; you don't need to stay locked up here any longer," Araki said earnestly.
"Really?" Nawaki's eyes widened suddenly, his pupils flashing with disbelief. He had dreamed of regaining his freedom, but when these words came out, he had a feeling of unreality.
"I have no reason to joke with you about something like this!" Araki said with a slight smile.
"Very good!"
Nawaki jumped up excitedly. For more than two years, he had been dreaming of this day, and he could finally regain his freedom.
Moreover, he did not waste those two years.
The Yin Seal on his forehead is the best reward for his cultivation over the past two years.
While Nawaki isn't exactly a medical-nin yet, lacking skills in Medical Ninjutsu like Chakra Scalpel and Mystical Palm Technique, he has mastered the ninjutsu of Creation Rebirth and the Strength of a Hundred Technique. In a sense, he can be considered medical-nin capable of healing himself.
Now, Araki and Nawaki together are equivalent to half of Tsunade. Araki can heal others, while Nawaki can continuously heal himself.
Now that Nawaki has mastered such a powerful Medical Ninjutsu, his life is much more secure. At least from what Araki has seen, Tsunade is not so easy to kill.
Madara Uchiha cut Tsunade in half and she didn't die, so it won't be so easy for Nawaki to die now.
"But before that..."
Araki slowly opened his mouth and looked at the necklace around Nawaki's neck.
"I need to take another look at you, and I'll need to check on you regularly in the future to make sure you don't have any problems. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood!" Nawaki nodded without hesitation. This involved his life, and he valued his life very much.
The events surrounding the First Hokage's Necklace made him realize his true thoughts.
He had always thought of himself as someone who was prepared to sacrifice himself for the village at any time.
But after all that happened, he knew very well that this was not his true self, and his true self would not want to sacrifice himself.
Nawaki wants to become the Hokage of Konoha.
It would be such a shame to die before becoming Hokage.
Over this period of time, he gradually transformed from feeling wronged, helpless, and resentful to accepting and fully understanding his own thoughts, recognizing his true self, which is also a kind of inner transformation.
Under such a transformation, Nawaki's mentality underwent some indescribable changes, and it grew at a rapid pace.
The naivety I had when we first met two years ago is gone, replaced by a greater sense of maturity.
Instantly.
Araki Dai reached out and touched the First Hokage's Necklace around Nawaki's neck.
This is also a test for Araki, because he hasn't used up his green Chakra yet, but he doesn't know when he will suddenly run out.
It's like his heart is a battery that's being charged every day and has been charged a lot, but he doesn't know exactly how much power it has or when it will suddenly run out. If it's in a critical moment and this green Chakra can't be used, it could actually cause some danger to the heart.
Araki had already been thinking about this question when he arrived, but he hadn't gotten a complete answer yet.
Because he can't go to the Nawaki and touch the necklace every single day.
This doesn't seem like something that has happened in the last two years.
It's not that simple!
Therefore, when encountering such problems, it is still necessary to have more solutions, that is, to avoid putting oneself in such a dangerous predicament.
This made Araki realize that in the future, he would need to keep more trump cards up his sleeve in battle so that he could better control these issues.
" Nawaki, can you teach me the Yin Seal?" Araki suddenly asked.
"No problem!" Nawaki nodded and said, "However, the Yin Seal alone can only be used to store Chakra. It needs to be combined with Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth - Strength of a Hundred Technique to become a truly near-immortal being. The Yin Seal itself is not difficult, and I can teach you now. But Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth - Strength of a Hundred Technique requires my older sister to teach you. It's not that I don't want to teach you, but I haven't mastered it that clearly myself, and I can't explain what I understand."
"It's alright, I only learn Yin Seal. I'm just a little interested in Sealing Jutsu!" Araki said with a smile. He had an idea in mind, but he wasn't sure if it would succeed. However, since he had such an idea, he could give it a try.
"Sure, no problem!"
Nawaki and Araki are very good friends. For some time now, Nawaki has been taught Medical Ninjutsu by Araki, so he is very happy that it is now his turn to teach.
"Here's what happened..."
Nawaki explained the principles and methods of using the Yin Seal to Araki in detail, which took him almost an hour.
Araki arrived early, and Tsunade wouldn't appear in the afternoon, since Tsunade found him in the morning, giving them ample time.
The explanation of the Nawaki is very clear.
After hearing it once, Araki already understood what was going on. However, the difficulty of the Yin Seal was not in the process of using it, but in the fact that it required a long time to accumulate Chakra little by little.
"But are you going to form the Yin Seal now?" Nawaki asked Araki curiously. " The Yin Seal... if you had worked on it with me back then, we should have succeeded by now. You wasted a lot of time. If you try to form it now, it will take at least two years. And during those two years, your Chakra usage will be very limited. If I'm not mistaken, you should be graduating soon and will probably be doing some missions. Even if you go to Konoha Hospital, you'll need to use Chakra frequently. At that point, it will be very difficult for you to form the Yin Seal!"
Nawaki stared at Araki with a sincere expression. Because he had already formed the Yin Seal, he knew very well how he had gotten through this period of time. He was indeed grateful for his hard work and the grievances he had endured over the past two years, but looking back on the past two years, he did not want to go through it again.
"I see!"
Araki nodded without saying anything more, and instead reached out to touch the First Hokage's Necklace around Nawaki's neck.
Let me show you your future first!
Just as Araki's fingers touched the First Hokage's Necklace, First Hokage's Necklace suddenly trembled and then pulsed like a heartbeat.
Immediately afterwards, streams of green Chakra surged through Araki's hand and flowed into his heart.
at the same time.
Araki silently began to use the Yin Seal technique in his mind.
He immediately guided the green Chakra towards the reservoir.
It was very difficult at first.
This green Chakra simply wouldn't obey him.
It just surged into his heart.
Gradually.
Suddenly, another idea popped into Araki's mind.
The Yin Seal's reservoir needs to be created by each person themselves, but most people choose the forehead as their location, while he can choose another location.
In any other time, he wouldn't have had this ability to draw inferences from one instance to another, so he probably wouldn't have thought of this solution. However, during this period, he had been studying the scroll and had developed his own understanding of sealing techniques.
Under such circumstances.
Araki is more willing to try new things.
In an instant.
Araki immediately had a bold idea: to place the broken water pool directly inside his heart.
This way, there's no need to specifically guide the green Chakra into the reservoir.
All that's needed is to channel a portion of that Chakra into the reservoir.
With this in mind, Araki immediately began to control the formation of a new location for the Yin Seal, placing it on his heart. This change was a risky innovation for him, but he had more faith that the green Chakra could continuously resolve all his problems.
Although he didn't know exactly what green Chakra was, he had benefited greatly from Chakra during this time and had very strong confidence in Chakra.
As the green Chakra gradually flowed from the First Hokage's Necklace into Araki's heart, it began to branch out, flowing towards the reservoir.
"It worked?!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Araki's eyes. He had never studied the Yin Seal before, even though he had this plan, but he knew the timing wasn't quite right.
If he were to rashly condense and seal his own Chakra, the time cost would be far too great, and he still needs a long period of training, so he simply cannot do that.
He now felt a reservoir opening up in his heart, diverting the incoming green Chakra. And after using the Yin Seal technique, more and more green Chakra surged into the reservoir.
Buzz--Buzz--Buzz--
At this moment, the rhythm of the First Hokage's Necklace around Nawaki's neck became even clearer, as if it possessed a life of its own, pulsating rapidly with an extremely strong regularity, leaving almost no room for breathing.
"This..."
This was the first time Nawaki had seen the First Hokage's Necklace in this state, and his expression turned serious.
A sense of worry also arose in his heart.
Could it be that Grandpa won't let me go out?!
Otherwise, the rhythm of the First Hokage's Necklace wouldn't have turned into this state at this moment. It's obvious that something is wrong, but he doesn't have a clear understanding of it yet and doesn't know exactly what's going on.
In an instant.
Nawaki's heart tightened.
Under these circumstances, Nawaki remained silent, staring intently at Araki's face, noticing that the latter's expression was grave and seemed rather pessimistic.
This time.
It took longer than ever before.
Araki kept touching the First Hokage's Necklace, showing no sign of letting go, and time passed quickly in the process.
Without realizing it.
More than two hours have passed.
Araki remained in that pose.
