My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 41 First Encounter with Sealing Techniques

Tsunade Senju is undoubtedly the "princess" of Konoha.

She was not only one of the legendary Sannin, but also the most beloved granddaughter of the First Hokage, "God of Shinobi" Hashirama Senju.

Compared to her invincible husband, Hashirama Senju's wife, Mito Uzumaki, was not so famous.

Even the Konoha ninjas who have seen her in person today only remember Mito Uzumaki as "a very kind and gentle old lady who loved the village and supported and protected all those she loved."

However, Tsunade, as his granddaughter, still remembers the immense power of the sealing technique.

How powerful are sealing techniques? Few in the current ninja world can say for sure, after all, this complex and profound system has declined.

Few people remember that back then, Mito Uzumaki's sealing techniques were so advanced that she could suppress and seal the complete Nine-Tails. Although she couldn't communicate with it, she controlled the Nine-Tails' chakra with ease. For a long time after Hashirama Senju's death, she was Konoha's de facto strongest fighting force!

Back then, the Uzumaki clan, which had been on good terms with the Senju clan for generations, stood proudly in the world with its powerful sealing techniques. But it was precisely because of this that it was feared and coveted by many countries and ninja clans. After a tragic event that kept the entire ninja world silent, the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, and the Uzumaki clan members were scattered to various places, existing in name only.

Since then, sealing techniques have declined, and truly earth-shattering sealing techniques have been lost one after another.

But Tsunade knew that the village had many rare and precious seal techniques.

—Back then, her grandmother traveled thousands of miles to marry her grandfather, which was a super marriage that affected the entire ninja world. The dowry she brought was quite substantial, including a lot of knowledge about sealing techniques.

The Reaper Death Seal, the Four Symbols Seal, the Yin Seal... certain powerful sealing techniques are in the hands of Konoha ninjas.

However, while sealing techniques are powerful, they have a very high barrier to entry. Similar to space-time ninjutsu, they are a domain exclusively for geniuses. For ordinary people, studying sealing techniques is not as worthwhile as learning a few fire-style techniques.

Tsunade rubbed the purple, diamond-shaped mark on her forehead, and Asahi beckoned to Yuuto:

"Yuto, come here."

"What's wrong, teacher?" The boy from the branch family stood in front of the blonde woman. He was still using the Palm Healing Technique to treat his arm, but fortunately the bleeding had been stopped and the bandage was finished, so Tsunade wouldn't suffer from hemophobia.

"Yuto," Tsunade tapped his headband.

"There's a technique I'd like you to try... Do you understand this mark on my forehead?"

"Yes, I know, you told me." Hyuga Yuto nodded:

"Yin Seal".

"Now, I want to teach you this technique." Tsunade paused, organizing her thoughts:

"Yin Seal, an S-rank auxiliary ninjutsu, is used to gather, regulate, and control chakra. After achieving some mastery, a diamond-shaped mark will appear on the forehead. Further up, skilled users can use the low output and fine adjustment of this Yin Seal to maintain youthfulness."

"My grandmother, Lady Mito Uzumaki, also had this mark on her forehead."

"However, my [Yin Seal] is different from the ordinary Yin Seal. I have made many improvements and developed extended techniques based on these improvements. It is quite different from the original version."

"I will name this mark... the Seal of a Hundred Heroes."

"The Yin Seal is a skill that requires patience. Practitioners must spend a lot of time regulating and accumulating their chakra in order to condense this Hundred Healings Seal."

"Don't be impatient, Yuto, take your time. Starting this afternoon, you should try to learn the Yin Seal. Of course, don't neglect medical ninjutsu and super strength either."

Hinata Yuto nodded solemnly:

"Teacher, I won't let you down!"

"Hmm." Tsunade chuckled and ruffled the hair of the branch family boy again:

"come on."

Hyuga Yuto asked a few more questions about the precautions for practicing the Yin Seal, then went to the side to continue healing.

Standing there, Tsunade hugged her knees, gazing at her gifted disciple with a complex expression.

To prevent her disciple from feeling too much pressure, there were a few things she didn't tell Hinata Yuto.

In fact, Professor Yin's main purpose in teaching the Yin Seal was to test Hyuga Yuto's talent in sealing techniques!

The Yin Seal is something that anyone can learn with enough practice; it just takes different amounts of time. Most practitioners succeed in the fifth year.

However, the fact that he succeeded in the fifth year means that he doesn't have much talent in sealing techniques; he's just at an average level.

Success in the third year means you have some talent.

If you complete this technique in the second year, you're a genius and suitable to learn sealing techniques.

To succeed in a year is an achievement that even among the Uzumaki clan at its peak, very few could accomplish. This is true talent, a fine piece of raw jade. With careful polishing, one can steadily become a top-tier Jonin or even a Kage-level master. Mito Uzumaki was one such person.

Yin Seal is actually a kind of "sealing talent detector"!

Tsunade had thought it through very clearly:

If Yuto's training progresses quickly and he demonstrates a good talent for sealing techniques, then continue to teach him sealing techniques and research extremely difficult methods to temporarily seal "damage".

If Yuto doesn't have the talent in this area, then he'll have to find another way. He can always use the most basic method—since Lion's Fang Bite will damage the user's body, he can simply use Ninjutsu: Creation Regeneration to withstand the damage. You damage me, I heal you. It's a bit clumsy, but it's still a useful solution.

In fact, given Tsunade's personality, she preferred the second option, which was straightforward and had high HP anyway.

But she understood that her disciple was from the Hyuga clan, not the Senju clan known for their strong vitality and abundant chakra. They were definitely not as resilient as she was and probably couldn't withstand this repeated process of destruction and healing.

"Huh? No, I think I've forgotten something very important..."

The blonde beauty suddenly scratched her head, realizing something.

She suddenly looked up at Hinata Yuto.

In the mountains, no more than twenty meters away from her, a handsome young man was touching his arm, treating it carefully. His face was fair and handsome, and his figure was slender and well-proportioned. He looked like a young master who never lifted a finger, but if you looked closely, you could see that his palms were covered with thick calluses and scars, as if he had gone through countless arduous training and battles.

Tsunade opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

She collapsed to the ground, muttering something in a self-deprecating tone:

"Never mind, whatever happens, the old man will take the blame for me... Hmm, I'll go talk to the old man in a bit."

……

That evening, at the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the female disciple standing obediently in front of him and said incredulously:

"Tsunade...you want to teach Hyuga Yuto...no, you can't say that." He paused, his tone becoming very serious:

"You plan to teach a child from the Hyuga branch family a high-level sealing technique from the Uzumaki clan?"
