Now that Yoruha has mastered the Four Symbols Seal and the Eight Trigrams Seal, he finally has a way to balance Naruto's outbursts in the future. This means he won't be as passive as before. The Third Hokage couldn't help but see more of Minato Namikaze in Yoruha the more he looked at him. If it weren't for Yoruha's black hair, he might have thought Yoruha was Minato's reincarnation.
"Good, very good. With these two sealing techniques mastered, if anything happens with Naruto in the future, we'll need your help," the Third Hokage said with satisfaction. Yoruha smiled faintly and replied, "Naruto is my friend. If I can help, I will do my best." The Third Hokage nodded approvingly.
"Yes, I'm very pleased that you can accept Naruto. Mastering the Four Symbols Seal and the Eight Trigrams Seal also shows your deep understanding of sealing techniques and your exceptional talent. These seals are not easy to learn; they are extremely difficult. Even the Fourth Hokage took several years to master them.
"These are originally Uzumaki clan sealing techniques. The Uzumaki clan is an ally of our Konoha. The First Hokage's wife and the Fourth Hokage's wife were both from the Uzumaki clan. Because of this relationship, Konoha has access to Uzumaki sealing techniques. Naruto is also from the Uzumaki clan, but he probably doesn't have the talent for learning sealing techniques."
The Third Hokage was quite helpless. He had hoped that Naruto would eventually master sealing techniques like his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, to suppress the Nine-Tails and harness its power. But clearly, Naruto lacked talent in this area. With his level of knowledge, he probably couldn't even understand the principles.
Moreover, sealing techniques require a high level of skill in ninjutsu. Naruto just doesn't seem capable of learning them. Even Kakashi, who was a genius from a young age, hasn't learned them.
Yoruha chuckled and said, "Naruto does have strong talents, but probably not in sealing techniques." The Third Hokage agreed, "Yes, that kid is more talented in unconventional areas." Thinking of Naruto's Sexy Jutsu, the Third Hokage felt quite speechless.
He always fell for it every time. Of course, he wouldn't mention this to Yoruha. However, what he didn't know was that Yoruha was already aware of it.
Yoruha didn't think it was a big deal. Even Kaguya Otsutsuki fell for it, so it was perfectly normal for the Third Hokage to fall for it too. After a moment of reflection, the Third Hokage asked, "Since you've mastered the Four Symbols Seal and the Eight Trigrams Seal, you probably don't need other sealing techniques, do you?" Yoruha smiled and replied, "I'm curious to see what other sealing techniques there are."
The Third Hokage nodded. "There are indeed some powerful sealing techniques, but they are forbidden and very dangerous. I don't recommend you learn them."
What the Third Hokage was referring to were techniques like the Reaper Death Seal, which can only be used once in a lifetime. He knew it himself, but recalling how Minato used it to seal the Nine-Tails, he naturally didn't want Yoruha to learn it. "I don't quite see it that way. Whether it's a forbidden technique or not, it's still a jutsu. If it was created, it was meant to be used. If it's always kept sealed away, why create it in the first place?"
The Third Hokage thought about it and realized Yoruha had a point.
"It's not suitable for learning." "I'm worried~" "Sigh, that's how the Fourth Hokage died back then." After a long silence, Yoruha finally spoke, "Since the Fourth Hokage chose to use it, it means that the sealing technique served its purpose. Moreover, if the Fourth Hokage resorted to such a jutsu, it indicates that there were no other sealing techniques available."
"It's a kind of mutual destruction tactic." Seeing Yoruha's insistence, the Third Hokage didn't try to persuade him further. He felt that Yoruha was right.
However, this kind of thinking was only applicable to Yoruha. For others, regardless of the danger, they simply couldn't learn it. Despite having only interacted with Yoruha for a short time, the Third Hokage was already very satisfied with him.
He regretted not discovering Yoruha earlier, which led to his current lack of understanding about him. If he had found Yoruha sooner and trained him earlier, he wouldn't have to cram ninjutsu now. The Third Hokage believed that Yoruha's current effort in learning ninjutsu was due to a lack of resources in the past.
He was only half right. Previously, Yoruha indeed lacked resources to learn, but he also didn't have the talent to master them. Yoruha's talent back then was just average. Even if he had access to many ninjutsu resources, he probably wouldn't have learned them.
After deciding not to persuade Yoruha anymore, the Third Hokage took a few scrolls from the bookshelf and said, "These are the village's strongest sealing techniques at the moment. You can take a look, but it's best not to learn them until you're confident. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me." Yoruha glanced at the scrolls. Among them was the Reaper Death Seal.
Of course, Yoruha wasn't interested in that sealing technique. A technique that can only be used once—what's the point of learning it? He did want to learn forbidden techniques, but only those that, while dangerous, were powerful. Not those that could only be used once in a lifetime.
Yoruha took a few sealing technique scrolls and sat on the ground to read, completely ignoring the Third Hokage beside him. The Third Hokage didn't find Yoruha's behavior rude; instead, he appreciated his eagerness to learn.
"Mind's Eye of the Kagura? Is this also a sealing technique from the Uzumaki clan?" Yoruha muttered to himself.
The Third Hokage explained, "This is indeed a sealing technique from the Uzumaki clan, but it's very difficult, even more so than the Four Symbols Seal and the Eight Trigrams Seal. I remember only the First Hokage, his wife, and the Fourth Hokage's wife could use it. Besides its high difficulty, this technique requires an enormous amount of chakra to perform."
"So ever since the Fourth Hokage's wife passed away, no one in Konoha has mastered it." Yoruha nodded, "I see. It does seem like a very powerful sealing technique." The Third Hokage said, "It is indeed powerful. It can suppress the Nine-Tails in battle. Back in the day, the First Hokage's wife could casually suppress the Nine-Tails, rendering it immobile."
"Oh? Is it that strong?" Yoruha naturally knew the Mind's Eye of the Kagura was powerful. Forget the Nine-Tails; it could even suppress the Ten-Tails.
Even Uchiha Madara couldn't withstand it. But that was Sage Art: Mind's Eye of the Kagura. Yoruha wasn't sure if using Sage Chakra made it stronger than the regular Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
However, Yoruha remembered that Uzumaki Kushina had used this technique and could suppress the Nine-Tails. Thinking about it, the Uzumaki clan was indeed formidable in dealing with tailed beasts. Just the Adamantine Sealing Chains could restrain the Nine-Tails. It's worth noting that Uzumaki Kushina was on the verge of death, extremely weak, yet she still controlled the Nine-Tails effortlessly.
Besides the Adamantine Sealing Chains, the Mind's Eye of the Kagura was similar. Even without considering Hashirama Senju's Sage Art: Mind's Eye of the Kagura, Kushina's version left the Nine-Tails unable to resist. The Uzumaki clan was indeed the nemesis of tailed beasts.
However, the clan focused primarily on sealing techniques, and in terms of combat, they weren't particularly strong. If they were as powerful as the Senju or Uchiha clans, which ninja village could have wiped them out? The Third Hokage noticed Yoruha seemed interested in the Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
He advised, "This jutsu is very difficult and requires a lot of chakra, making it unsuitable for you." Although he knew Yoruha had a lot of chakra, Yoruha was only 12 years old. The Third Hokage believed that even if Yoruha had a lot of chakra, it wouldn't surpass his own. If he couldn't sustain the chakra consumption of this jutsu, Yoruha certainly couldn't either.
