Chapter 28: The Three Ninjas About to Leave the Village
Actually, the description of the rope tree is not accurate.
The Vajra Sealing Technique is not a traditional sealing technique; it has two aspects: reality and illusion.
The physical chains are used for physical attacks, binding, and even as a medium to weave barriers.
The illusory chains act on chakra, used for binding and sealing.
However, while the illusory Vajra Lock has the effect of interfering with chakra, this is only a basic ability.
The illusory chain itself is more inclined towards fluid locking.
To achieve the effect of binding or sealing, the caster must use this as a medium to apply the sealing spell.
This is also why Kushina is so exhausted; her brain is overloaded with processing power.
In particular, in order to break free from Fu Heiyao's restraints, she forcibly squeezed out her life force.
It's only because Kushina has a good constitution that she didn't faint long ago.
"Hikaru, my little sun, I finally..."
Kushina chuckled as her warm little hand brushed across Fushiko's face.
"I never thought even Yo-kun would fall for Kushina," Minato remarked.
Nawaki: "Of course, Kushina has been preparing for this day for a full six months."
Orochimaru agreed.
Ninja battles are intelligence battles. Kushina had a lot of information about Fushiko, but she didn't leak any of her own information.
Given Fu Heiyao's playful nature, it's quite normal that he was caught off guard and tricked by the Vajra Lock technique.
If Orochimaru himself were to come, he would be caught off guard by this trick if he wasn't careful.
Sealing techniques are a shameless method that treats all beings equally.
Orochimaru and the others were amazed by Kushina's sealing technique that reversed the entire situation, but Jiraiya was saddened by Kushina's "lovestruck" appearance.
He stared intently as Kushina approached Fushiko, imagining that one day Tsunade would walk towards him in the same way.
Meanwhile, in the dueling arena below, Kushina walked unsteadily to Fushiko.
Just as she was about to deliver a tomato headbutt, preparing to crush Obsidian with her own weight and achieve complete victory, her vision suddenly spun around.
When she came to her senses, Kushina suddenly realized that she was being held in someone's arms.
Kushina subconsciously looked up and found Fushiko smiling at her.
"Well done, as expected of the strongest sealing technique in the future."
Warm light gently enveloped Hei Yao's narrow eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes, as black as obsidian, were full of tenderness.
Kushina stared blankly up at the approval radiating from his eyes, stunned.
This was the first time she had seen such undisguised approval in Fu Heiyao's eyes.
Although she didn't win, Kushina felt she had gotten what she wanted.
Under the gaze of those eyes, the fatigue that had accumulated from staying up all night finally turned into sleepiness.
Kushina slowly closed her eyes, and in the very last moment, she looked at those eyes with reluctance before her consciousness sank completely into darkness.
"What a wonderful surprise! Thank you for your hospitality."
Fukuyo summoned a specially sized Jade Dog, gently placed the tiny Kushina on its warm fur, and summoned several rabbits to attend to her.
"Come out, it's over."
After settling Kushina in, Fukuyo glanced at the location where the others were.
None of them concealed their chakra at all. The chakra of acquaintances is as conspicuous as an ID card, so he could sense it from a great distance.
"They really have keen senses," Orochimaru thought to himself. The three of them jumped down from the tree branches and came to Fukuko.
"Yo, how did you do that?!" Nawaki rushed up like a fanatical fan.
He desperately wanted to know how to break the King Kong's lock.
Although his grandmother rarely scolded him after he started school, Rope Tree still wanted to give her a surprise.
"Just use powerful chakra to break the seal directly," Fukuyo said truthfully.
He was truly at his wit's end; only after personally experiencing the sealing technique did he understand what the underlying code was.
He could only break the seal using the Cursed Chakra Mode.
It's just that Kushina's skills were not yet proficient, and she was still young; otherwise, he would have tried to use only her magical power to activate the spell.
"What a load of bull!" Rope Tree muttered, but seeing that Fukuyo didn't want to tell him, he didn't say anything more.
He wasn't an idiot lacking common sense; he knew that ninja information needed to be kept secret.
Orochimaru and the others didn't ask any further questions.
The thought that Fu Heiyao could even simulate a bloodline limit suddenly made everything seem reasonable.
"Why didn't you come to my graduation ceremony? I remember telling you and Kushina, didn't I?"
"There are only two shadow clones in the school, and it took us a long time to find you."
Rope Tree changed the subject, pointing to the headband on his forehead. This time, it was Fukuko's turn to feel awkward.
I recalled the memories transmitted by the shadow clone yesterday, and it seems that such a thing did happen.
However, he and Kushina have been very busy these past two days, and they forgot about it without even noticing.
Fu Heiyao patted his head and sighed.
They said nothing, yet it seemed like they said everything.
"For my graduation gift, could you teach me that secret technique that made you glow like that just now?"
Rope Tree rolled its eyes and said.
"Wait until you've mastered the Rasengan before we talk about it. Right now, you still need Shadow Clones to help you out," Fukuro said sarcastically. "It feels like Minato's single Shadow Clones aren't as good as yours."
"Please, our brother Rope Tree, you're super weak right now."
Back then, aside from Fushiko and Kushina who had completed their training earlier, the progress of Nawaki and Minato in mastering the Rasengan was like the difference between a caveman and a Trisolaran.
The progress of the water gate is almost rapid, while the progress of the rope tree is slow.
In the end, Fukuyo couldn't bear Nawaki's pleas any longer and secretly told him that shadow clones could speed up the process, so Nawaki barely managed to create one.
However, Rope Tree seems to have developed a path dependency from this point on, and has never been able to break through the threshold of condensing a Rasengan with one hand.
This made Nawaki feel ashamed at home. Not only would Kushina laugh at him, but his older sister Tsunade would also frequently persecute him.
Tsunade somehow found out about this, and she would always make sarcastic remarks whenever she argued with Nawaki.
Hearing this, Minato scratched his head sheepishly, while Jiraiya looked up and gave Orochimaru a look that seemed to say:
"I never expected my disciple to be stronger than yours!"
"Boring comparisons." Orochimaru snorted, but felt inexplicably irritated inside, his gaze subtly shifting towards Fukuyo.
No one stipulated that a person can only take on one disciple. The teacher took on three of them.
In Orochimaru's view, Fushiko was the most suitable person to inherit his mantle and his philosophy of exploring the truth of techniques.
The rope tree, which was being "despised," seemed to have been caught red-handed, and tried to defend itself in a panic, but no one paid any attention.
"Ahem, enough of the small talk. Now that you're all here, let's talk about the plans for the future."
Orochimaru's golden snake eyes swept across the entire area, and seeing the "harmonious" and friendly atmosphere among the three, he revealed a satisfied smile.
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, the four of them fell silent.
Kushina: I have no objection.
Fukuyo crossed his arms, curious about Orochimaru's next words.
After all, two of the future Legendary Sannin have come, and they even brought Minato and Nawaki with them.
With this kind of spectacle, he would believe it even if the Second Shinobi World War had started ahead of schedule.
"Due to some urgent missions, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and I will be leaving the village for a period of time."
Orochimaru spoke in a deep, magnetic voice.
"In order not to delay your growth, we have specially found a highly capable senior to guide you."
"When we get back, maybe we'll have our own name, hahaha."
Jiraiya's words revealed more information, leaving Orochimaru somewhat exhausted, but he didn't say anything.
The struggle between the five great powers has almost come to the fore, and the pressure on the border is considerable after losing the watchtower of the Land of Whirlpools.
Hiruzen Sarutobi simply sent his three most outstanding disciples to investigate.
This will serve two purposes: firstly, to deter other countries, demonstrate Konoha's new era, and thwart their ambitions.
On the other hand, he also intended to train his three disciples.
Although the three of them are among the top elite Jonin, they still have a long way to go before becoming true powerhouses at the pinnacle of the ninja world.
This step requires not gentle persuasion, but rather the tempering of iron and blood.
It might be a bit risky, but considering the unavoidable Second Shinobi World War, growing stronger as soon as possible before the war officially begins is undoubtedly the safest option.
