Natsuhiko spread out the scrolls of the Book of Seals on the table, checking the ninjutsu recorded in them one by one.

The Art of Multiple Shadow Clones...... He doesn't have that many chakras!

Illusion: Darkness ...... There is a similar function!

The art of multiplying the detonation charm...... Although the professional counterpart, it is too expensive.

Psychic Rashomon ...... Maybe you can consider it.

After all, this Rashomon that came out of the psychic technique has enough defensive power to change the trajectory of the tailed beast jade.

And Natsuhiko just lacks the means to defend against AOE ninjutsu now.

and that Rashomon is obviously a dead thing, but it needs to be summoned like a psychic beast, using the blood pact psychic method, which also makes Xia Yan a little concerned.

Could it really be that as stated in the introduction, these Rashomon were summoned from the underworld?

Coupled with the fact that Rashomon's defense is so strong, the materials used should be very special.

If he could find a way to intercept some of them at a time, wouldn't he be able to get a way to obtain a steady stream of precious materials?

After listing Rashomon as an alternative for the time being, Xia Yan continued to look down and saw another ninjutsu that made him very excited.

Flying Thor's Technique!

Invented by Thousand Hands and carried forward by Bo Feng Shuimen, the S-class time and space ninjutsu is carried forward!

No matter what world you are in, the ability to involve space is a very anti-heaven existence.

Not to mention anything else, it can be seen from the fact that Obito has made many strong people helpless with just one move.

The only problem is that this technique is extremely difficult to learn, except for the Thousand Hands, only Watergate has learned it.

As for the one that doesn't know the fire genma, the one that is similar to each other, and the one that Stack Iwahi cooperated with, it is actually a low-level version of the ninjutsu called the Flying Thunder Array Technique.

Natsuhiko has a clear understanding of his ninja talent, and knows that even if he uses various tricks, it will probably take a long time to master this technique.

After all, he has been in the ninja world for so many years, and the ninjutsu that Zheng'er Bajing has learned, in addition to the three-body technique and the shadow clone technique, will only have one C-level earth escape and earth dragon hidden technique.

Even if you start from the idea of rune culture, because the technique of flying thunder god involves a lot of advanced spatial rune knowledge, it is also a very unfamiliar field for Xia Yan, and it is not comparable to the basic storage technique.

Therefore, if you want to analyze the technique of the Flying Thunder God and achieve it completely in line with the culture, I am afraid that the time spent will be measured in years.

However, for the sake of this handsome technique, Xia Yan still put it on the alternative option.

Most of the remaining ninjutsu are relatively ordinary, and apparently this list has been cut down, and there is no record of forbidden techniques that violate humanity such as reincarnation of the soil.

There are more advanced Five Elements Escape Techniques listed above, such as Water Escape, Hard Vortex Water Blade, Water Escape, Water Breaking Wave, Water Escape, Water Dragon Biting Explosion, and Water Escape, Sky Crying......

Stumble! How are they all high-grade water escapes!!

Xia Yan felt a little toothache every time he saw the large number of difficult water escape ninjutsu on the scroll.

Can you use it in battle?

It seems that the Thousand Hands have really been unwavering against the Uchiha clan for decades.

They are good at fire escape, and he develops a lot of water escape restraint.

They have great insight into the chakra, so they develop the art of darkness and blindness.

They have dynamic vision, so he developed the Flying Thunder God technique of teleportation and slashing......

Natsuhiko would like to call him the Ninja Batman.

Then at the end of the scroll, there are also some sealing techniques and enchantment techniques.

For example, the Four Elephant Seal, the Five Elements Seal, the Contract Seal, the Four Purple Flame Array, and so on......

Speaking of which, Xia Yan should have chosen this type of ninjutsu the most.

After all, the sealing techniques he mastered now were all ordinary road goods.

If he chooses these ninjutsu, then not only will it be easier for him to learn, but he will also be able to bypass the class and improve the overall level of sealing techniques.

The only thing that made him hesitate was that Mito had previously said that in order to formally thank him, he would let him visit her house during winter vacation.

Natsuhiko felt that according to the normal routine, Mito should have given him one or two sealing scrolls as a thank you gift.

So in order to avoid the tragedy of opening the same equipment in the maze treasure chest just after buying new equipment, Natsuhiko decided to see what reward Mito would give him before making a final decision......

……

The next morning, in the courtyard of the Thousand Hands Mansion.

“…… Natsuhiko, the idea of using perceptual ninjutsu to copy movements was a real eye-opener for me. ”

“…… Originating the original runes? That's an interesting way to think indeed. ”

“…… I've also constructed a projection technique, Natsuhiko, how about you take a look. ”

Under the pomegranate tree, at a stone table full of various rune papers, Mito was happily exchanging sealing tips with Natsuhiko.

Early this morning, Natsuhiko was invited to the mansion of the Thousand Hands Clan, but before he could say a few words of greeting, he was pulled by Mito to discuss the matter of sealing.

It's almost noon, and Mito shows no signs of stopping.

However, Xia Yan, who was still a little restrained, found that Mito spoke softly and decently, had clear ideas, and novel ideas, which gave him a lot of inspiration, and he couldn't tell that he was actually a dying old grandmother.

So he quickly got into the groove and chatted with Mito enthusiastically.

The posture of no one next to the two made Jiu Sinai, who was sitting on the side holding his chin with his hands, speechless for a while.

I feel like I'm a little redundant......

And it's obviously an ordinary visit, why does it become like a sealing exchange meeting?

Not to mention, as the topics discussed between the two became more and more esoteric, Kushina began to have the feeling that they knew every word they spoke, but they couldn't understand it at all.

This reminded her of the fear of being dominated by the runes of the Sealing Technique as a child......

After Mito took a sip of his teacup, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile when he saw Kushina's bitter face.

Then she spoke, "Kushina, why don't you help me go to the kitchen to see if lunch is ready?" ”

"yes...... Ah, I mean I'll be there right away! ”

As if he had been pardoned, he quickly got up and ran in the direction of the kitchen.

"It's all such a big person, and it's still so shapeless."

Mito looked at Kushina's bouncing back and shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Then she turned her gaze to Xia Yan and suddenly asked:

"Natsuhiko, actually, have you ever wondered why Yunyin's ninjas would specifically kidnap Kushina?"

"And even if Jiu Sinai's identity is more special, the merit of saving her back should not be enough to get the forbidden technique in the Book of Seals as a reward."

"Do you know why?"

Xia Yan was slightly stunned, and finally got rid of the programmer mode.

It turned out that Mito had deliberately split Kushina just now in order to ask him this kind of question.

After pondering for a while, Xia Yan decided to say something straightforward:

"Is it because of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force?"

Mito nodded slightly, not at all surprised.

"Although the human pillar power is a secret in the village, it is not strange for a sealing ninja like Natsuhiko to guess part of the truth."

"That's right, Jiu Sinai is the second Nine-Tails Pillar Force to succeed me in the future."

"That's why Yun Yin will try to kidnap him, and Ri Slash will give you such a high reward."

Mito looked down at his stomach and continued:

"In order to obtain the power of the tailed beast, human beings invented the technique of sealing the tailed beast in the human body, and the human container that houses the tailed beast is the so-called human pillar force."

"Although the human pillar force has gained great power as a result, as a price, they not only have to endure strange stares from other people, but they also run the risk of being eroded by the tailed beast in their body at all times."

Mito looked a little gloomy and said:

"So if there is another choice, I don't want to make Jiusinai bear such a heavy fate......"

"Sometimes I think that Tsuruma's attempt to trade peace in the ninja world through the sacrifice of the nine pillars may have been wrong in the first place."

Mito shook his head and chuckled, looked at Natsuhiko and said:

"Xia Yan, I think you already know why I'm talking to you so much."

"In the near future, Jiu Sinai will become the new Nine-Tails Pillar Force."

"The difficulties I just mentioned, Jiu Sinai will definitely encounter them, but it's a pity that I won't be able to face them with her at that time."

"After all, the day Kushina became a human pillar was when I left this world."

"Although there is still Tsunade, that guy is even more uneasy than Kushina......"

Natsuhiko could see a hint of pleading in Mito's eyes at this time, and she said:

"So Natsuhiko, after I die, are you willing to continue to take care of Kushina for me?"

“！！！”

Natsuhiko was frightened by Mito's words.

It looks like they're meeting for the second time today, right?

Xia Yan began to wonder if he had the same special ability as Obito, doubling his grandmother's favorability?

Then he cautiously looked at Mito's smiling expression, and said with some hesitation:

"Whether it's as a colleague or a friend, if something happens to Jiu Sinai, I definitely won't sit idly by."

"-But Mito-sama, I'm not the relationship you think I'm in with Kushina!"

Mito smiled when he heard this, and then said with his eyebrows crooked:

"As one of the only benefits of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, I have the ability to distinguish between good and evil in people."

"For example, when I was in the Hokage's office, I could see that Danzou was full of malice towards you."

"-Well, that guy seems to be full of malice towards everyone."

Natsuhiko knew that Mito was reminding him to be careful of Danzo by the way, and nodded to show that he understood.

Then Mito returned to the main topic:

"So I can see that Natsuhiko, you also have a lot of affection for Jiu Sinai."

"In fact, this can be seen from the fact that you single-handedly rushed thousands of miles to rescue the kidnapped Jiu Sinai."

"After all, it's just for colleagues or friends, and it's hard for ordinary people to do what you do."

"It's just that I can feel that you are still a little confused in your heart, as if you are still suppressing your thoughts."

“……”

Xia Yan opened his mouth when he heard this, but found that he usually talked endlessly, but now he was a little short of words.

He knew that malicious perception was indeed one of the abilities of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force.

But Mito said that he could sense even kindness, and Natsuhiko didn't know if it was true or if he was fooling him.

However, whether it is through perception or experience, Mito's words did poke at Natsuhiko's sore spot.

He was indeed a little confused.

In fact, before Kushina was kidnapped, Xia Yan could feel Kushina's affection for him.

But he unconsciously ignored the signs.

After all, although Natsuhiko set himself a grand plan to become the god of chakra, secretly, he did not have the idea of Naruto, the savior, if he failed.

And if he really accepted Kushina's heart, it meant that Naruto would not have been born in this world.

This also means that the Uchiha Ban's plans, the conspiracy of the Black Jedi, and even the invasion of the Otsuki clan, these heavy responsibilities that should have been borne by Naruto will be transferred to him!

And this confusion reached its extreme after Kushinai was kidnapped.

That's why he made a contradictory operation that allowed Jiu Sinai to use her hair as a mark to attract the attention of Watergate, and as a result, he directly rescued her.

Although he told himself that it was a change in a hurry.

But it is clear that his act of saving Jiu Sinai has invisibly cut the red line between Jiu Sinai and Watergate, and at the same time made the future of the world chaotic.

Did you really unknowingly like that silly girl?

So much so that you are willing to give up the prophetic advantage of being a traverser?

Seeing that Xia Yan's face was unpredictable, he obviously couldn't sort out his mind for a while, so Mito smiled again:

"Don't worry, Xia Yan, you and Jiu Sinai are still very young, and there is still a lot of time to find answers."

"As long as you don't let Kushina be like Tsunade, you can't find anyone to marry when you're in your thirties."

Xia Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then let out a long breath, his expression softened slightly.

As a result, Mito sighed slightly:

"It's a pity that my old bones can't last that long."

Just when Xia Yan's heart tightened, thinking that Mito was going to "urge marriage" again, she changed her words and said with a smile:

"But even if you can't protect Kushina as a partner for the time being, you can still protect her in other capacities."

Just when Xia Yan showed a puzzled expression, Mito smiled slightly:

"Xia Yan, although time is running out, are you willing to be my last disciple?"

……

In the afternoon, Xia Yan, who walked out of the gate of the Thousand Hands Mansion, looked at the several high-level sealing scrolls he was holding in his hand, and there were still a lot of unbelievable colors on his face.

He originally thought that the thank you gift that Mito gave him should be one or two high-level sealing techniques.

If he could personally guide him again, he would already be grateful.

I didn't expect the other party to give me such a big gift - directly accepting myself as a closed disciple.

But there is clearly one person who is even more unbelievable than Natsuhiko.

Jiu Sinai, who was standing at the door to see Xia Yan, was still muttering angrily:

"Grandma Mito is too partial, obviously I started earlier than Xia Yan, why are you a senior brother?"

"I don't care, I must be a senior sister!"

Xia Yan, who was in a good mood, didn't care about Jiu Xinnai's relapsed complex, and said with a smile:

"Okay, junior sister, no problem, junior sister, goodbye junior sister."

"Xia Yan, you guy!!"

Kushina pounced with her teeth and claws, only to be in the air.

Then she realized that Xia Yan, who stayed in place, was just a projection, and Xia Yan probably ran away a long time ago......

"Xia Yan, you'll regret it."

"I'm the senior sister!"

Kushina vented a few times at the door before returning to the Thousand Hands Mansion in a huff.

And Xia Yan, who was standing behind a tree in the distance and watching her, began to wonder in her heart, did she really like this kind of silly girl?

After seeing Kushina leave, Natsuhiko walked in the direction of the Hokage Building.

Since he became Mito's disciple, he naturally didn't need to consider the option of exchanging the sealing technique.

At the same time, the conversation with Mito also inspired Natsuhiko a lot, and once again clarified his thoughts.

So he already knew what technique he was going to choose.
