Chapter 3: Sealing

When you open the first page of the note, you will see a dense text.

The calligraphy between the lines of fire is not beautiful, but it is neat and powerful, as if it was engraved on paper.

The first few pages record the experience of entering the school when I didn't know the fire.,And some trivial feelings.,It's an essay.,Genma probably browsed it and turned directly to the part about the three-body technique at the back.。

The three-body technique refers to the transformation technique, the doppelganger technique, and the substitute technique, which are the three necessary ninjutsu for ninjas, and mastering these three ninjutsu means that you have the possibility of surviving on the battlefield.

The transformation technique and doppelganger technique in the lower ninja stage are just very superficial illusions, tangible and intangible, and easy to see.

Of course, in the ever-changing actual battle, if used properly, the basic transformation technique and the clone technique can still play a surprising role in victory.

Stand-ins are a little more complicated, and according to the notes, they are essentially a special psychic technique that swaps the ninja with a pre-selected object position in a short-range psychic way, allowing for a one-shot dodge. (Note)

In his previous life, Genma always felt that the stand-in technique was a bug, but now it seems that the limitations of the stand-in technique are actually not a lot.

Just selecting objects can be troublesome, and the primary stand-in technique can only target dense fixed objects, i.e. wood, stone, etc., and the target must be nearby. If you encounter some more powerful ninjas, the other party directly uses a wide range of ninjutsu to clear an open space, and the stand-in technique is basically useless.

Not only that, but the initiation of the stand-in technique requires the ninja to be aware of the danger first, and the ninja's combat is always full of murder and conspiracy, and no one can guarantee that they will always be able to detect potential dangers.

All in all, the three-body technique is a very heavy ninjutsu, and it is not difficult to learn, and the key is to use it well.

Genma frowned and pondered for a moment, turning a few more pages to see if there were any practical attack methods in the notes, such as ninjutsu that didn't require sealing, such as Spiral Pills.

After looking at it for a while, I found that there were indeed a lot of attack methods, including the ninjutsu of Wind Escape, Fire Escape and some swordsmanship, but it was similar to Spiral Pill, it seemed to be ...... Not a single one.

A little disappointed, but it makes sense.

After all, not everyone's background is as hard as Naruto's, and at this time, Bo Feng Shuimen should not have developed the Spiral Pill yet, and there is no place to learn it if he wants to.

Genma shook his head, turned a few more pages, and then couldn't help but be stunned.

"Huh."

I saw that the handwriting on the page in front of me suddenly became very messy and intermittent, which was completely different from the neat and powerful handwriting in front of me.

He quickly reacted that while recording this page, his father had lost his right arm. The rest of the text is all written with the left hand.

Like the handwriting, the content has also undergone an abrupt shift, and the front is all ninjutsu and swordsmanship, but this page abruptly details Shiranui Yukima's understanding of "knots".

It reads:

“…… Chakra is composed of both spiritual energy and physical energy, so of course, there are two threads that manipulate chakra, one from the spirit and one from the body. ”

"Although every part of the body can affect the chakra to a greater or lesser extent, the hand is undoubtedly the most flexible organ of the human body, it is ever-changing and at the same time has a sensitive sense of touch. Therefore, the chakrati thread that originated from the flesh was tightly wrapped around the ninja's ten fingers. But that doesn't mean that those who lose their hands lose the opportunity to become ninjas, at least, those who lose one hand can still seal, for example, I've heard that there are some talented ninjas who can seal with one hand......"

One-handed stamping ......

Genma remembered that there were indeed some ninjas who could seal with one hand, such as Shiro and Bo Feng Shuimen.

In addition, there are some fancy sealing techniques like Jiraiya's foot sealing, and it is even said that there are people who can launch ninjutsu without sealing, and Uchiha Itachi seems to be counted as one, but the original book doesn't say it explicitly.

It's just that whether it's a one-handed seal or a foot seal or no seal, it's not something that ordinary ninjas can do, at least it has to be a genius boy like Shiro, and the vast majority of ninjas must honestly seal with both hands.

So the loss of an arm is almost devastating for a ninja, not to mention the loss of the right arm.

It seems that after losing his right arm, his father is also very eager to master the skill of one-handed seals and continue his ninja career, but ...... Why is there no follow-up?

After turning a few pages, the content about the seal came to an abrupt end, and it continued from the previous article, recording all kinds of ninjutsu, what I saw and heard, and some records about daily trivial things that had never appeared before - it is estimated that after the broken arm, the life between the fire lines was much more leisurely.

It is true that the memories of this father in Genma's mind are basically the scenes of his being at home after his broken arm.

It wasn't until the Second Shinobi War came that Shiranui returned to his mission as a Konoha Shinobi.

Was the attempt to seal with one hand successful?

There is no doubt about the significance of one-handed stamping. As long as the one-handed seal is mastered, the ninja can free up space for one hand while launching ninjutsu, and this hand can play a role in determining victory or defeat in a battle of the same level.

Thinking of this, Genma immediately began to flip through the notebook quickly.

As the notebook turned back page by page, the original messy handwriting gradually regained its neatness and strength, and even the same as the original handwriting, almost indistinguishable.

At the same time, a large number of practice records of one-handed stamping began to appear, and I don't know if Huo Xingjian really put a lot of effort into it.

But...... Even when he turned to the last page, Genma didn't find a specific one-handed stamping method.

My father's efforts failed.

After all, the method of one-handed sealing is not a skill that ordinary people can master.

However, Genma did not learn nothing, at least through his father's notes, he knew the difficulties and problems that would be faced in practicing one-handed sealing, and if he was ready to explore and master the one-handed sealing method, these valuable records could save him a lot of energy.

In addition, although he was not able to make a one-handed seal method, he really practiced one-handed swordsmanship, and near the end of the note, he recorded in detail his experience of groping, practicing, and the final result of swordsmanship: the left-handed sword. (Note)

If it weren't for this left-handed knife, most of the people who lost their right arm would probably not be able to get to the front line of the war.

After taking a general look at the contents of the knife in his left hand, Genma pondered for a long time, and finally silently flipped through the notes again, until he turned to the last page.

At the end of the note, there was the last mission my father carried out, which was about a battle in the middle and late stages of the Second Shinobi War:

“…… According to the spy, there will be two powerful puppeteers among the enemies tonight, and I hope the antidote I have prepared will not have to come in handy......"

Note 1:

Since the explanation of the stand-in technique in the original book is a bit far-fetched (chapter 6 of the manga), this book makes this setting.

Note 2:

The meaning of "sword" in this book is relatively broad, and the knife belongs to a kind of sword, so the knife can also be called a sword.
