Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

"The Uzumaki clan was wiped out, and their sealing techniques were gradually lost. As someone who inherited this bloodline, I should also bear the responsibility of inheriting the sealing techniques..."

Jiraiya sighed, "Although no one will force you to bear this responsibility, I think it would be a great loss if you didn't learn the sealing technique, not only for you but also for the Uzumaki clan."

Naruto flashed a bright smile.

"okay, I get it!"

"You lecherous immortal, let's begin our cultivation then..."

"Sealing Technique!"

Jiraiya also laughed.

"very good."

……

Just as Naruto predicted, sealing techniques are no fun at all.

It's more accurate to call it a theory than a ninjutsu.

In fact, almost all ninjas who can master this secret technique are true geniuses.

Or perhaps they are a polymath with extensive theoretical knowledge and mastery of various ninjutsu techniques.

For example, characters like Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and Minato Namikaze.

Or they possess extremely unique abilities.

For example, Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, Pain, Itachi Uchiha, and the like.

Even if ordinary people can master sealing techniques, they are only using relatively low-level techniques.

It's just that the current Naruto is extraordinary; he's already a top student. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even be able to understand it.

If it were Naruto from the original work, it would be almost impossible for him to learn sealing techniques.

Jiraiya first demonstrated it to Naruto.

"seal!"

Suddenly, the two stood face to face. Suddenly, sealing technique patterns appeared at Naruto's feet, forming a huge circle. Various strange and complicated runes instantly appeared, completely surrounding him.

"This, this is..."

Just as Naruto was about to be surprised, he realized that he was completely unable to move!

"Why can't I move?!"

Jiraiya smiled slightly.

"This is a very simple sealing technique called the Ichi-den-den Formation. Its effect is to restrict the opponent's ability to move."

"How about that? Pretty impressive, right?"

Naruto was overjoyed: "So sealing techniques are really powerful! And they're really interesting too!"

Jiraiya said, "Sealing techniques are different from ninjutsu. In addition to the use of chakra, they also require corresponding sealing formulas. Moreover, each sealing formula is extremely complex. To those who do not understand the principles, it looks like scribbles and is completely incomprehensible."

"Now, I will teach you the most basic sealing techniques."

Jiraiya opened the scroll, took out a brush, dipped it in ink, and began to draw the first sealing technique on the blank scroll.

The brushstrokes flow like dragons and snakes, like clouds and water.

But the patterns under the ink were indeed, as he said, simply scribbles, like celestial script!

Naruto was completely baffled.

"This, this is still the most basic sealing technique?!"

Jiraiya said, "That's right, this is the sealing technique of the Ichitodō Array, the most basic E-rank seal."

"Theoretically, even ninja schools could teach it, but nobody wants to learn it."

"Okay, try drawing it now."

Naruto took out another blank scroll and began to try drawing.

However, as with everything, the beginning is always the hardest. His brush trembled, and he was unable to accurately depict the scene.

"It starts like this. Once you firmly memorize the technique, first imprint it in your mind, then memorize it through your body's memory, and finally you can unleash its power with chakra."

"Alright, let's begin. Today's task is to learn this technique!"

Naruto took a deep breath.

"it is good!"

He immediately began to try it again and again.

Although it is dry, boring, obscure, and profound, Naruto is, after all, a seasoned warrior.

Even his academic scores improved from 20 or 30 to over 90. No matter how complex the sealing technique is, it's just some patterns and symbols. How difficult can it be?!

Naruto tried a few times and gradually got the hang of it.

Then...

He even directly activated the ability of the entry.

[Knowledge Absorption]!

After finishing his studies at the Ninja Academy, Naruto hadn't used the power of this term for a long time.

Once activated, Naruto quickly entered a long-lost state of focused concentration and immersion!

His understanding and comprehension of sealing techniques, as well as his memory and ability to depict patterns and shapes, all improved dramatically!

Jiraiya glanced at it again and was immediately astonished.

"Naruto has already grasped the basic form of the technique?!"

"As expected of a genius, I practiced my memory for many days back then..."

He himself couldn't help but sigh.

It felt like I had returned to my childhood.

Back then, both the Ninja Academy and Teacher Sarutobi often praised Orochimaru in this way, while feeling quite helpless about his own clumsiness.

But Jiraiya also sensed that Naruto's talent wasn't like Minato Namikaze's, which was innate and dazzling, but rather something he acquired through hard work.

in other words……

In him, I saw both Minato and myself...

It's as if it's being passed down from generation to generation...

Thinking of all this, Jiraiya couldn't help but smile with the affection of a grandparent for their grandchild...

The original plan was to spend a day in meditation.

Two hours later, Naruto suddenly cheered and jumped for joy.

"The lecherous immortal! I've done it!"

Jiraiya was taken aback: "So fast?!"

However, after carefully examining the sealing formula drawn by Naruto, he found it to be flawless, without any errors or omissions!

He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Naruto, you really are a genius..."

"Alright, since that's the case, now that you've memorized the sealing formula, you must use chakra to truly achieve the sealing effect!"

"Now, let's begin!"

"Release your chakra outwards from your body, and shape it according to the patterns of the sealing technique, then surround me within it and bind my movements!"

Naruto couldn't help but feel smug and confident!

"Fine! Then prepare to be sealed away by me, you lecherous immortal!"

"Ichishi Lantern Array!!!"

Chapter 121 An absolute genius in sealing techniques! Rapidly improving strength!

The strength of a sealing technique is, of course, related to one's own level.

However, the understanding, mastery, and application of sealing techniques, as well as one's own strength and chakra reserves, are all closely related.

The same sealing technique, when activated by different ninjas, can have vastly different effects, even if they look exactly the same.

Naruto silently memorized the sealing formula of the Ichitodōjin, and with the training of chakra release and maintenance (that is, water-walking training), combined with his past learning and understanding, he finally successfully activated it.

"Ishito Lantern Array!"

Instantly, strands of chakra transformed into threads, extending from the ground beneath Naruto's feet!

buzzing-

The chakra rapidly expanded, spread, and lengthened, simultaneously outlining seemingly complex and chaotic patterns, gradually taking shape and enveloping Jiraiya within it.

Jiraiya was also amazed.

"Oh? It actually succeeded on the first real launch?!"

He instantly felt that his movements were being restricted to a certain extent.

Of course, only to a certain extent.

Naruto was overjoyed: "It's done, it's a success!"

"I really am a genius at mastering sealing techniques!"

Jiraiya smiled slightly, then suddenly unleashed his chakra and power, forcibly breaking free from the constraints of the Ichidojin array and regaining his freedom.

Naruto was both shocked and furious: "Perverted Sage! Why isn't my Ichi-no-Lantern Formation working!"

"How could you just run away like that!"

Jiraiya laughed.

"First, this is the most basic sealing technique."

"Secondly, Naruto, the gap between you and me is still very large!"

Naruto retorted defiantly, "Hmph, then teach me an even more powerful sealing technique!"

Jiraiya shook his head: "Although you successfully activated the sealing technique, its power is quite average. While it is indeed a matter of low level, your own proficiency, as well as the chakra you injected, will directly affect its effectiveness and power..."

"You should first master this sealing technique, and then I will naturally teach you new techniques."

"Generally speaking, even the most basic sealing technique, the Ichitodōjin, would take an ordinary ninja seven or eight days to fully master, and that would require a certain talent for sealing techniques."

"Although you successfully activated it in just over two hours, which is indeed a testament to your exceptional talent, it would be impossible to fully master it in less than two or three days."

Naruto put one hand on his hip and gave a thumbs-up with the other, revealing a bright and healthy smile.

"Then I absolutely must master it completely within one day!"

Jiraiya laughed heartily: "That's quite impressive! But don't underestimate sealing techniques!"

"Alright, let's make a bet! If I can master it within a day, you'll immediately teach me the new sealing technique!"

"You bastard... fine, you've got it!"

Naruto chuckled and prepared to continue his training.

[Host, you must perfectly master the One-Piece Lamp Array within three hours. Cultivation is urgent, and time waits for no one. Failure to complete this will result in a baptism of lightning from the system!]

Again!

Naruto was completely bewildered when he heard that incredibly familiar voice!

It's already impressive enough that he boasted about completing it in just one day.

I didn't expect your system to take me within three hours!

This is seriously trying to kill me!

However, Naruto was already used to the system's style, and arguing with him was pointless.

The only option is to immediately begin a desperate cultivation journey.

"Ishito Lantern Array!"
