When the time was right, Uzushiogakure still couldn't withstand the combined attack from the major powers, since the Uzumaki Clan had long been a thorn in their side.
I just hope it won't affect me!
Araki wasn't entirely sure if the Uzumaki Clan's affairs were connected to Kushina, and what troubled him even more was...
Did Kushina arrive in Konoha ahead of schedule, or was the extermination of the Uzumaki Clan delayed?
What is certain now is that Kushina has become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which means that Mito Uzumaki is dead. What does this mean for Konoha?
The First Hokage's wife...
What kind of influence do they wield within Konoha?
Will it end up like the empress dowagers of ancient times?
Who benefited most from Mito's death?
"Call..."
Araki took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He vaguely felt that he had discovered something, but he didn't have any substantial clues and couldn't confirm the vague guess in his mind.
If given the chance, we must find out.
As the saying goes, one should seek good fortune and avoid misfortune!
Araki had no desire to get involved in the kind of backstabbing and intrigue that happened at the village level.
" Kushina, teach me how to make Explosive Tag!"
Araki shook his head vigorously, trying to banish the random thoughts from his mind and bring his thoughts back to their original level.
Making Explosive Tag is the most important thing right now!
This involves money!
Having money can increase your power!
As for the rest of those random and nonsensical things, even if he thought them through more clearly, he didn't have the ability to do anything about them.
The most urgent task is to quickly accumulate strength to deal with potential crises. After learning about the Uzumaki Clan, Araki felt more and more that something big might happen in the future.
Chapter 25 Araki-kun is indeed a gentleman! (Third update)
"Actually, I don't know how to make Explosive Tag Explosive Tag, but I do know how. Wait for me, I'll go get them!"
Kushina immediately got up and walked into the bedroom. She would try her best to fulfill Araki's requests.
Immediately afterwards.
Kushina returned to her bedroom and took a scroll out of her bag.
Then he returned to Araki's side.
"Here you go!"
Kushina handed the scroll to Araki. This was a confidential document for the Uzumaki Clan, but it wasn't entirely confidential. Some of the contents had already circulated throughout the Shinobi World.
"This contains some of the most basic Sealing Jutsu, mostly crafting Sealing Jutsu, including the use of Explosive Tag."
Kushina smile.
Now, she suddenly felt a pang of regret. If she had studied more diligently back then, she might have already mastered the method of making Explosive Tag.
If that's the case...
Now we can teach Araki how to make Explosive Tag step by step.
Instead of giving the scroll to Araki to learn on his own.
Damn it!
What a great opportunity, and we just missed it!
Kushina silently resolved to study the Sealing Jutsu she had brought with her diligently in the days to come, in preparation for any eventuality.
"Okay!"
Araki's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing the scroll.
He was more suited to this self-study method, and since arriving in the ninja world, he had spent most of his time acquiring knowledge on his own.
Kushina, thank you!
Araki suddenly expressed his gratitude in an extremely serious and earnest manner, saying, "Don't underestimate this small scroll; its value is beyond description."
It's important to know that Ninjutsu in the ninja world cannot be shared!
Even people from the same village wouldn't easily share their knowledge. The majority of what you learn at the Ninja Academy is theoretical knowledge, some basic Chakra usage methods, and the most basic Ninjutsu.
Especially among the various families, these techniques are rarely shared with outsiders. Each family has its own secret techniques, which are the most secret of secrets!
Araki knew very well that Kushina giving him this precious scroll meant she already considered him one of her own.
This deeply moved Araki.
"No... you're welcome..."
Kushina kept her head down. Her throat was dry, and she was so lost in thought that she couldn't even figure out what she really wanted.
" Kushina, you've been through so much today, go get some sleep and rest. You have class tomorrow!" Araki said earnestly.
"Ah?!"
Kushina's face flushed red instantly.
Has it finally arrived?
Are you going to sleep...?
Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest, and the tension she felt was beyond measure.
what do I do?
"Uh-huh."
Kushina lowered her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz. Then, as if fleeing, she slipped into the bedroom, leaving the door a small crack open.
Araki sat at the table, and after dealing with things here, his thoughts were completely focused on the scroll.
This is really good stuff!
At this moment, his anticipation was fully aroused, and he immediately opened the scroll and looked at the text inside.
" Sealing Tag, barrier talismans, Summoning Tag, Explosive Tag..."
"So these are all Sealing Jutsu for creating seals."
"A special Ninjutsu Chakra is sealed in a talisman to allow for its free use!"
" The Uzumaki Clan is indeed powerful!"
No wonder people are wary of him!
Araki only needed to see the beginning of the scroll to roughly understand the meaning of those talismans; they all originated from the Uzumaki Clan.
Chakra is sealed onto talisman paper through drawing, thus giving the talisman paper special effects.
For example, Explosive Tag.
The Explosive Tag, created using a special drawing method, possess the effects of advanced Fire Release Ninjutsu, not to mention their ability to be used for ambushes and can be set up as traps.
That's incredibly twisted!
Anyone who doesn't possess the ability to perform advanced Fire Release Ninjutsu can create Explosive Tag that possess the power of advanced Fire Release Ninjutsu, once they master the method of making Explosive Tag.
This is even more amazing than the Ninjutsu storage technology in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, since that requires the Katasuke to first perform the Ninjutsu, while these talismans don't require the person making them to have such strong abilities; all that's needed is to master the core production method.
As expected of the Uzumaki Clan!
Araki only glanced at the contents of the scroll, but it was as if he had opened up a whole new world.
He had never thought about the working principle of Explosive Tag before.
Now let's look back at the past.
Aside from the thin, foldable talisman that stores Chakra, it is covered with special intricate patterns drawn on it.
I can't explain why it's drawn this way...
But drawing it this way will produce this effect!
"That..."
However, just as Araki was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, Kushina's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting him. He abruptly looked up towards the bedroom and immediately saw Kushina standing at the door with a resentful expression.
When are you going to go inside to sleep?
Kushina mustered her courage and uttered those words. She had gone through an extremely intense internal struggle in her bedroom, especially waiting for Araki to come in, but he hadn't appeared for a long time, making her incredibly uneasy. That's why she came out to check.
" Kushina, you go to sleep. I'll keep watch tonight. There might still be ninjas from Kumogakure in Konoha. It would be dangerous if we all went to sleep!"
Araki said in a very serious tone.
Right now, all his attention is focused on researching and creating Explosive Tag.
Or rather, he wanted to learn not only how to Explosive Tag, but also other types of tags that he could create.
Explosive Tag can be sold for money!
This is something that could change the current economic situation, and it cannot be delayed, especially since time is so tight; he must make the most of his spare time to study it.
"Ah?!"
A feeling of loss welled up in Kushina's heart, which quickly turned into a deep sense of gratitude.
I see!
Araki-kun is truly a gentleman!
Unwilling to take advantage of her vulnerability at this critical juncture, he still chose to keep watch for her safety!
Being able to remain rational and discerning of the objective environment at this time, without being dominated by her inner thoughts, gave her a strong sense of security.
"I understand, Araki, thank you!"
Kushina felt a warmth in her heart as she thought about the hard work Araki had done for her. She turned and went into the bedroom, having already come to terms with things. A happy smile spread across her face as she prepared to sleep peacefully.
As Araki said.
