Chapter 93: Five Elements Seal and Contract Seal (45)
Chapter 93: Five Elements Seal and Contract Seal (45)
The Breathing of Flames could actually enhance the power of Fire Style Jutsu!
In the world of Naruto, the Breathing of Flames could also enhance one's physical qualities, but that wasn't its primary function. Its main purpose was to strengthen fire-style chakra nature.
At the beginner level of Breathing of Flames, one could use Total Concentration Breathing to instantly increase the speed of fire-attribute chakra nature transformation, thus empowering the flames.
Once one became proficient in Breathing of Flames, they could enter a constant state of enhanced nature transformation and flame power, along with possessing more explosive strength.
The pinnacle of mastery, the Crest Mode, was truly terrifying. It allowed one to instantly and effortlessly convert all chakra into flames without hindrance. All fire style jutsu could be performed without hand seals, greatly amplifying the might of the flames.
After undergoing modifications by the system, Breathing of Flames had little resemblance to its original version in Demon Slayer. One didn't even need a sword, and it could be aptly described as a Fire Style Chakra Mode.
There were many types of chakra modes in the Naruto world. One of the more common and practical modes was the Sage Mode. If one was a jinchuriki, they might have the opportunity to master the Tailed Beast Chakra Mode. Additionally, there was also the Cloud Village's Lightning Style Chakra Mode.
Mu Yue even considered Susanoo, the legendary ethereal warrior, as a type of chakra mode unique to Mangekyo Sharingan users.
Some chakra modes could even be stacked on top of each other. Mu Yue dared not imagine how powerful Fire Style jutsu would become if Sage Mode and Breathing of Flames' Crest were used together.
Although the reward wasn't the imagined Moonwalk, Mu Yue was still very satisfied.
The localized Breathing of Flames was extremely potent, capable of enhancing not only his strength but also suitable for his disciples' cultivation.
Both Genjiro and Obito's primary offensive jutsu were fire-style, making them ideal candidates for Breathing of Flames.
During dinner that evening, Mu Yue shared the news of his successful three-finger seal training with Kushina.
"You've already mastered it? This past month went by quickly," Kushina remarked as she took a bite of her food.
"It hasn't been a month, it's been twenty-seven days," Minato corrected her.
He remembered the day Kushina had given Mu Yue the three-finger seal and, upon counting the days, realized that Mu Yue's training speed was faster than Kushina had anticipated by a few days.
"Twenty-seven days is pretty close to a month anyway," Kushina waved her hand dismissively. "And I can't predict the future, so it's impossible to be a hundred percent accurate."
"However, the fact that you completed it earlier than I estimated shows that your talent for sealing jutsu is genuinely impressive, Mu Yue," Kushina praised.
"I've also finished writing down my insights into seal training. After dinner, I'll give them to you along with the details of the next seal you'll be working on," Kushina added.
"I've also written down some of my own insights from practicing sealing jutsu," Minato said. "They may not be as professional as Kushina's, but I think they'll be helpful to you."
Although his sealing jutsu knowledge came entirely from Kushina's teachings, Minato believed that his personal thoughts and experiences during his learning journey could offer Mu Yue some valuable guidance.
"Thank you for your hard work, Kushina-sensei and Minato-sensei," Mu Yue expressed his gratitude.
"Then make some delicious food for us to taste," Kushina laughed heartily.
Although she didn't feel that she had exerted much effort, she didn't want to pass up the opportunity to enjoy Mu Yue's culinary skills.
"Can you two handle spicy food?" Mu Yue asked thoughtfully.
He recalled teaching Kushina and Minato how to cook and creating a magical Mapo Tofu dish. If he remembered correctly, it was a recipe from the Little Chef's side, and it should taste amazing.
"No problem. Just go ahead and cook, Mu Yue. We're looking forward to it," Minato assured him.
"In that case, no problem. I'll make a dish that's so delicious it'll make you glow tomorrow night," Mu Yue said with a smile.
"I'd only suspect there's something weird in the dish if it literally glows," Kushina teased.
"Do dishes really glow when they're exceptionally delicious?" Minato asked, his curiosity piqued.
He recalled that the fried rice Mu Yue had made previously seemed to have a subtle glow to it.
After dinner, Kushina and Minato returned home to retrieve their cultivation insights and headed back to Mu Yue's residence.
They handed the scrolls to Mu Yue, who thanked them again.
"There are a total of three sealing techniques recorded in the sealing scroll—the Five-Finger Seal, an advanced version of it, and a Contract Seal. That should keep you occupied for a year," Kushina said.
"They all sound challenging," Mu Yue said with a smile as he placed the scroll aside. "I'll probably be bothering you two with a lot of questions along the way."
"Ask away," Kushina said confidently. "They may not be simple for you, but they're second nature to me."
After Kushina and Minato left, Mu Yue took the sealing scroll to the second floor to begin his studies.
Upon opening the scroll, Mu Yue discovered that the advanced version of the Five-Finger Seal was actually the Five Elements Seal.
Mu Yue marveled at Kushina's generosity and her faith in his talent, as the Five Elements Seal was an extremely advanced sealing technique.
Having studied sealing techniques for some time, he understood the significance of this high-level technique. Even skilled Jonin specializing in sealing might not necessarily master it.
Mu Yue speculated that the Five-Finger Seal likely existed to make learning the Five Elements Seal less daunting.
He found the Contract Seal intriguing; it could sever the contract between a summoner and their summoned beast, rendering the former unable to control or summon their beast again.
If this seal could sever contracts, Mu Yue wondered if it could be modified to sever other types of relationships as well.
He had long suspected that Danzo's Tongue Curse Seal might have an activation trigger, and given Danzo's cautious nature, this seemed plausible.
If he could sever the connection between the Tongue Curse Seal and Danzo, the seal's threat to him would be significantly reduced.
Since the Tongue Curse Seal was triggered by speaking about Danzo and Root's secrets, he could simply avoid saying those things and never activate the seal.
"I'll start with the Five-Finger Seal, then move on to the Five Elements Seal and the Contract Seal. I'll aim to master them within a month," Mu Yue thought to himself.
He still had two ninja skill proficiency scrolls, which could instantly raise his proficiency in basic ninja techniques to the skilled level. He planned to use them for the Five Elements Seal and the Contract Seal.
Once he reached proficiency in those seals, they would provide him with even more sealing knowledge.
...
On Monday afternoon, Mu Yue began his practical test.
The summer training students had been studying for two weeks now and had all shown some improvement.
The rules for the practical test were similar to the ninja academy's practical exam, with opponents being randomly assigned.
