Chapter 118 Minato's Sealing Technique Talent

Mito Uzumaki sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, holding a cup of hot tea in her hands, looking at the two people in front of her who had just returned from dropping off their children with a kind expression.

Kushina had already settled Kana and Shizune in, and now she was obediently kneeling in front of Mito, ready to begin her sealing technique training for the day.

Minato stood to the side, preparing to bow and take his leave.

"Lord Mito, since Kushina is about to begin her training, I will take my leave now."

Minato bowed slightly, a polite smile on his face.

"Wait, Minato."

Mito put down her teacup and called out to him in a gentle yet undeniable voice.

"Don't rush off, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Minato paused for a moment, somewhat surprised.

"But Kushina's training is a secret technique of the Uzumaki clan. If I were present..."

"It's alright."

Mito waved his hand, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes that had seen it all.

"I heard from Nishikawa Tetsu that he gave you a copy of my seal-sealing technique manual, and also said that you... have extremely high talent?"

When Nishikawa Toru was mentioned, Minato scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"What Che said went too far. I was just a little interested and thought about it on my own."

"Just overthinking it?"

Mito smiled, her eyes becoming meaningful.

"Sealing techniques aren't something you can learn by just figuring things out randomly. They require the most precise control over chakra and the most rigorous construction of the technique's logic. Since that little rascal dared to entrust you with something so important, it means you must have some extraordinary abilities."

She pointed to the futon next to Kushina.

"Sit down. Kushina is learning the Four Symbols Sealing Technique today, so you can listen in too."

"this……"

Minato glanced at Kushina.

Kushina nodded frantically, her eyes sparkling: "Sit down, sit down! Listening to Grandma's lectures alone is boring... no, it's very profound. It's much more interesting to discuss with others!"

"Then I'll take my leave."

Minato bowed respectfully, then sat down next to Kushina, straightening his back and focusing intently.

Mito nodded in satisfaction, then took a scroll from the bookshelf behind him and slowly unrolled it.

"The essence of sealing techniques is to construct a cage or passage using chakra."

Mito's voice turned serious as he began to explain the obscure and difficult-to-understand principles of the techniques.

"The Four Symbols Seal utilizes the four elemental chakra attributes from Yin and Yang and the Five Elements to construct a closed loop. The key lies in..."

Kushina listened attentively, but her beautiful brows quickly furrowed.

For her, who is lively, active, and prefers to solve problems with her fists, this kind of boring theory is like a lullaby.

"Um...Grandma, is this closed loop like tying a knot in chakra?" Kushina tried to simplify the question using her own understanding.

"It's not knotting, it's weaving."

The water gate suddenly opened.

He looked at the complex sealing diagram, a thoughtful glint in his eyes, and subconsciously picked up the conversation.

"If we compare chakra to flowing water, the Four Symbols Seal is like building four interconnected waterways. As long as the water circulates in the waterways, it can form a stable vortex that firmly holds the target at the center."

As he spoke, Minato stretched out his finger and gently moved it in the air.

Pale blue chakra flowed from his fingertips, sketching a simple yet perfectly standard prototype of the Four Symbols Seal in the air.

"The key lies in the chakra output frequency of these four nodes. They must remain absolutely consistent, otherwise the channel will collapse."

"Buzz—"

The chakra pattern remained suspended in the air for three seconds before slowly dissipating.

A brief silence fell over the room.

Kushina stared wide-eyed at the afterimage in the air, then at Minato's serious face.

"Water...Minato? You've studied this before?"

"No," Minato shook his head. "I just looked at the notes that Che gave me, which contained similar theories."

"Then why...?"

Kushina was deeply affected.

She is from the Uzumaki clan, born with a huge amount of chakra and a tenacious life force; this is her talent.

But in terms of this kind of meticulous operation and theoretical understanding, she felt that she was being overwhelmed by the blond boy from an ordinary background in front of her.

Mito, sitting at the head of the table, now had an even brighter glint in his eyes.

"Okay, very good."

Mito looked at Minato as if he were looking at a piece of uncut jade.

"Having only read the theory once, he was able to construct a rudimentary technique from scratch without any physical reference. Although it was still very rough, the core logic was completely correct."

Such talent is extremely rare, even among the Uzumaki clan.

Perhaps only his younger brother, who also loved studying techniques back then, could rival him in talent.

"Since you have this talent, don't waste it."

"From today onwards, you will also learn from Kushina."

Mito's tone carried a hint of authoritative authority, but more than that, it conveyed a sense of appreciation and expectation for talent.

"The sealing techniques passed down through the Uzumaki clan cannot be lost with me, and besides..."

She glanced at Kushina, then at Minato, a kind smile appearing on her lips.

"Kushina has a large amount of chakra, but she's too impatient. With you around, maybe you can help her calm down."

"But..." Minato was somewhat flattered, "I am, after all, an outsider..."

"Foreigners?"

Mito shook his head, his gaze becoming profound.

"There aren't many people left in the Uzumaki clan, and those outdated ideas should be discarded. The most important thing is that your heart is with Konoha and with those you protect, and that's enough."

"Besides, I trust that little rascal's judgment."

Ever since Nishikawa Tetsu brought the Uzumaki sisters back to the Senju clan's territory, Uzumaki Mito has treated him differently.

Mito said meaningfully, "Since he gave you his insights, it means he believes you are capable of shouldering this responsibility."

Minato was silent for a moment, then raised his head, his eyes becoming incredibly determined.

He bowed deeply once more: "Thank you, Lord Mito. I will do my utmost and will never let you down!"

"Very good!"

Kushina cheered from the side. Although she had suffered a slight setback in terms of talent, the opportunity to train with Minato made her forget about it instantly.

"Minato, you have to teach me things I don't understand in the future!"

"It is I who should be asking you for advice," Minato said with a modest smile.

Looking at the two children, Mito seemed to see Hashirama and herself from back then.

"Alright, don't get too excited yet."

Mito tapped the table, reverting to his strict teacher demeanor.

"Now that there's one more person, the deadline has to be doubled. Before sunset today, the two of you must draw ten complete Four Symbols Sealing Talismans on the sealing paper."

"Huh? Ten cards?" Kushina wailed. "Grandma, this is too difficult!"

"start!"

Mito ignored her granddaughter's protests and closed her eyes to rest.

Minato didn't complain. He picked up a pen and chakra paper and began to practice with focused concentration.

Kushina glanced at the serious Minato, and then picked up a pen, not to be outdone.

"Hmph, I'm from the Uzumaki clan, I won't lose to you!"

The setting sun shone through the window paper, casting its light on the two boys.

One had fiery red hair, the other had radiant blonde hair.
