Chapter 271: 264. Ama-no-Ukihashi
Adult Sasuke and Izuna inspect the formation area.
Sometimes Izuna will pause and mark a place.
Sasuke who is curiously following Izuna raises a question.
"Nii-san?! Have you awakened Rinnegan? If you have, then what are its abilities."
"You will naturally get your answers when the time comes. Also, even if you know about my abilities, it won't benefit our teamwork during the battle since there is none, to begin with."
Izuna chuckles and continues to map the area.
'Why does he even bother to ask when he already knows about them? It's not like my Rinnegan abilities will change much in the future.'
He maps the area and marks the nodes for the next two hours.
"Next up is a rough outline of the formation. Let me take a look from the skies."
Whoosh…
Izuna leaps in the sky and flies to an appropriate altitude to get a clear look at the entire area.
Whoosh…
Sasuke closely follows him behind.
"Oh! You can fly too." Izuna is surprised to see Sasuke fly.
"Yes! My visual prowess has returned. I spent quite a lot of chakra during the temporal leap."
Hmm…
"Your low chakra pool is one of your biggest weaknesses. But this doesn't seem to be the case anymore."
Izuna gazes at Sasuke as his eyes turn into Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Your chakra pool is almost on par with Naruto without the Nine-tails."
"Yes! I mastered the Snake Sage Mode and the Snake Sage helped me with my chakra problem." Sasuke nods his head.
"That old hag helped you?" Izuna raises an eyebrow, as he can't believe his ears.
"That old hag was so wish-washy when I asked her to help me and now, she is reluctant to help you. What sort of changes could make her do so? Wait! Don't tell me."
Izuna shakes his head and returns to the previous matter.
"Your chakra pool is fine and even your chakra control is fine. This can mean only one thing! Your technique! It's your technique that wastes a lot of chakra." Izuna speculates the reason.
"Tell me which technique do you use to travel through dimensions?"
"Hmm… it's Yomotsu Hirasaka. It's a Rinnegan ability and even the Otsutsukis uses this ability to travel through space." Sasuke replies.
"No wonder!"
Izuna shakes his head in disgust.
"Eh?!" Sasuke is surprised to see his expression.
"But Nii-san that's a Rinnegan ability and is very hard to master."
Sigh…
Izuna takes a deep breath and turns to Sasuke.
"Sasuke! It's not that I am undermining this ability. It's just that using this ability wastes a lot of chakra. Even the Otsutsuki you have met so far can't execute this ability properly. Yomotsu Hirasaka is an instantaneous technique, but it sacrifices efficiency at the cost of speed.
It might be good during a battle but it isn't an optimal technique while leaping dimensions." Izuna points out the flaws of the technique.
"I will teach you a different technique. Although this technique is slow compared to Yomotsu Hirasaka, it's very efficient. It only uses half the amount of chakra used by Yomotsu Hirasaka."
Izuna takes out an ancient scroll from his pocket and passes it to Sasuke.
Sasuke grabs the scroll and it almost slips from his hand.
"So heavy!!"
His expression turns serious and slowly opens the scroll.
"Ama-no-Ukihashi"
He reads the name of the technique.
"Yes, it's an ancient technique which I found among the collection of toads. Go and try to decipher this technique. It will be useful for your future battles." Izuna waves his hand and dismisses him.
Whoosh…
Sasuke flies away to a remote corner to practice the jutsu mentioned in the scroll.
Izuna stares at the scroll in Sasuke's hand and shakes his head.
'It's another technique of that 'Traveler' guy. This technique gave him an edge against his fight with Otsutsukis. He was traveling alone while a hoard of Otsutsuki was chasing after him.
Whenever things went downhill for him, he would use this technique and escape to another dimension. Those Otsutsukis could only use Yomotsu Hirasaka to chase him.
In the next dimension, the Otsutsukis would be weakened because of the lack of chakra. The traveler will use this opportunity to deal with a bunch of them and flee again.
In the end, he perished in this world and passed his legacy to toads, snakes, and slugs to look for a successor.'
"Anyway, let me survey the rest of the area."
He flies around for a while.
"Izuna-kun! Izuna-kun! Here!"
Kushina is waving at him from a distance.
Whoosh…
He flies towards her and lands on the ground.
"I heard about the situation from Minato. I won't let any bad guy touch my Naruto." She clenches her fist.
"I will help with the seal."
"Here!" Izuna passes the sealing scroll to Kushina.
Kushina curiously inspects the seal and her mouth opens wide in astonishment.
"Wow! Amazing! This is a work of art." She honestly praises Izuna.
Her skills with the Fuinjutsu have reached another level after inheriting the legacy of the Uzumaki clan. She is not on par with Izuna but she surely has leaped some distance to close the gap, just a little though!
'The legacy of Traveller is far better than the Uzumaki legacy. There is no comparison at all.'
Kushina passes the scroll to Izuna and extends her arms widely.
"Eh?!" Izuna tilts his head in confusion.
"Take me to the sky. I also want to fly in the sky."
"Oh!"
Izuna infuses some chakra into his palm and pats on Kushina and Minato's back.
"You can fly now."
"Oh!" Kushina's eyes shine brightly.
She instantly leaps in the air and spreads her arms like a swan ready for a flight.
Whoosh… whoosh…
Kushina whizzes through the air.
"It's so fun. I never thought flying would be so fun."
She turns to Izuna with an envious gaze.
"I am so jealous of you, Izuna-kun! You can fly whenever you want."
"Well!" Izuna silently scratches his head.
'I can teach you whenever you want. After your rebirth, your body and constitution have changed a lot. So, it's not impossible to learn Dust Release.'
"Yahoo!"
Kushina continues to fly around for a while.
Cough… cough…
Minato coughs slightly to get her attention.
"Kushina, let's get back to the work. We are doing it for the sake of Naruto, Remember!"
Whoosh…
Kushina immediately appears in front of Minato.
"Of course! I won't let anyone bully my Naruto."
Izuna flickers towards the village to gather material for the seal.
"Since it is a big project, I will request funds from the village. I don't want to pay the bill from my pocket."
Izuna summons a small eagle and writes down the list of material and sends it to Tsunade.
"Tsunade will look for these materials while I will search for some rare materials."
Whoosh…
Izuna teleports from his position. He reappears at Mount Myoboku.
"Oh! Izuna-boy! I have been waiting for you." Fukasaku walks out of his house.
"Here!"
He passes a giant scroll to Izuna.
"This is…"
"Great Toad Sage prophesied your visit. He also told us the reason for your visit. This scroll contains all the rare materials collected by Mount Myoboku over the past thousand years. I am sure they will be useful to you." Fukasaku throws a glance at Izuna.
"Also! You look a little different from before."
"Of course! I am handsome than ever." Izuna shamelessly brags in front of him.
Fukasaku narrows his eyes.
"No! On a second look, you are the same as ever."
He turns around and enters his house.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Izuna silently stares at the back of Fukasaku.
'Did this old frog roasted me just now? Never mind! I won't bicker with an old frog.'
Izuna pockets the scroll.
"Next destination! Ryuchi cave!"
Whoosh…
He appears in front of a large cave with many crossroads.
'Damn! That old hag messed up with my Flying thunder, Mark. I will imprint a new one.'
He enters one of the caves. After fifteen minutes, Izuna arrives in front of a large cave. There is a majestic temple inside the cave.
Hisss…
A large blue snake with light-green eyes slithers out of the temple. There is a giant scroll in its mouth.
"It has been a while, Aoda." Izuna greets the snake.
"I am doing well, Master Izuna."
Aoda passes the giant scroll to Izuna.
"The Sage asked me to pass this scroll to you."
"Oh! This again."
He turns towards the temple and yells.
"How did you know I was coming?"
"I can smell your foul scent from miles." The snake sage responds.
"Is that so? Are you a snake sage or dog sage?" Izuna chuckles.
"Brat! Get lost from here before I count to ten or else, I will even snatch that scroll from your hands." The Snake Sage hisses violently.
"Fine, old hag!"
Izuna grumbles and teleports away.
"Damn! This foul mouth brat!" The White Snake Sage bashes the walls of the temple.

A/N:- Yomotsu Hirasaka stands for the slope to Underworld.
Ama-no-Ukihashi stands for the Floating Bridge of Heaven.
P.S.:- Ama-no-Ukihashi is also an original technique of mine. I just like to research whenever I name a person or technique. I want it to feel like Original.

Chapter 272: 265. Eight Black Yin-Yang Annihilation Seal
A/N:- Bonus chapter for y'all. Enjoy!
-----------------
"Finally, I have gathered all the materials required for the seal!"
There are three giant scrolls in front of Izuna, one from each Sage Region.
After his visit to Ryuchi cave, Izuna visited Shikkotsu Forest and Katsuyu gave this scroll with no hassle.
"Izuna-kun, Tsunade-sama said to pass this scroll to you." Shizune arrives at the place with Tonton in her arms.
"Thank you very much!"
Izuna unfurls the scroll, and a letter falls from it. He picks up the letter.
"This is a message from Tsunade-sama about the materials."
Izuna curls the letter and throws it in the air. The letter blazes in flames and turns to ashes. A wind current blows away the ashes.
"I am sure Tsunade will readily provide me fund in the future. After all, it is for the greater good of Konoha."
"…"
Shizune silently stares at him and shakes her head as words are stuck in her throat.
'But Tsunade-sama said that, "This is the first and the last time, the village will fund you. Don't expect any funding in the future.".'
"Never mind! You won't listen either way."
Shizune returns to Konoha.
Izuna summons Jiraiya, Minato, Kushina and Tatsuya.
"The materials are ready. Let's inscribe the seal."
Mm…
The group nods their head.
"Each of you pick up an Earth node and engrave the seals from that node."
Izuna crosses his index and middle finger.
"Shadow clone Jutsu"
He creates four shadow clones.
"My clones will pick one heaven node each."
The inscribing of the heaven node is much difficult compared to the earth node since he has to conceal these nodes. Also, these nodes will operate autonomously; so, he has to ensure that there is no error in their inscription.
To speed up the process and cut some time, he is using Shadow clone Jutsu.
'It's not like I can't create more shadow clones. Carving a seal with Nature energy takes a lot of concentration. It will become extremely difficult to sustain the shadow clones while absorbing Nature energy and engraving seals.
My current limit is four; any more and I am afraid I will lose concentration and the seal will become unstable.
Take Naruto, for example. He could only maintain two Shadow clones with Nature energy. My clones on the other hand are also concentrating on the seal inscription.'
"Izuna-kun?! Do you have a name for this sealing formation?" Kushina curiously asks him.
"Hmm… I haven't thought of a name yet. Why don't you all name it?" Izuna proposes.
"Then, let me think of a name!" Kushina ponders for a while, and her eyes lit up.
"What about the Eight Black Yin-Yang Sealing Barrier?" Kushina suggests a name.
"Hmm… Isn't the name a little too simple for such a complex seal?" Minato places a hand under his chin and muses.
"I think 'Eight Heaven-Earth Seal: Barrier of Absolute Annihilation' is a more fitting name." Minato nods his head in satisfaction.
"…"
The rest of the group silently stares at Minato.
"Your naming sense is awful as ever. My name is a hundred times better than yours." Kushina argues with Minato.
"Oh! I have a name too." Jiraiya eagerly chimes in.
"Since the enemy is an otherworldly being with God-like powers, then why don't we name it as 'Eight Trigram Demon Suppression Seal'?"
"That's too bland!" Minato and Kushina complain simultaneously.
Izuna has an incredulous look as he stares at a bunch of adults fighting over naming his technique.
Hmm…
"Then let's decide the name by drawing lots."
Izuna takes out three sticks from his storage scroll and squeezes them in his palm.
"These sticks are of varying length. The person with the biggest stick will win the lot."
He stretches his hands towards the group.
"Pick your choice."
Kushina harrumphs and points towards a stick. Jiraiya immediately makes his choice, leaving Minato behind.
"I don't have any choice, do I?" He wryly smiles at them.
Izuna twitches slightly at their choice.
'Damn! I never expect this pervert to win. I can't let him name my technique.'
Izuna sneakily applies some force and breaks the stick.
"Alright! Go ahead and pull your sticks."
The three of them instantly grab their pick.
"This!"
Jiraiya stares at a toothpick.
"Isn't it too small?"
"Hurray! I win." Kushina smiles and teases Minato and Jiraiya.
"I am second!" Minato shakes his head.
"Never mind! I am not interested in such a lousy technique." Jiraiya cleans his teeth with the stick and throws it aside with indifference.
"Alright then! It will be a mix of Kushina and Minato-san's names. I will name it 'Eight Black Yin-Yang Annihilation Seal'."
He slightly changes the name.
Tch…
"My original name was much better." Kushina clicks her tongue.
"Ok! Hurry and finish the task. You all need to complete at least thirty chakra circuits before the dusk."
Izuna and his clones scatter throughout the area.
"Fine!" Jiraiya and the rest grumpily return to the work.
Izuna focuses on the central node while his clones shift to Heaven nodes. He inscribes one seal after another on the ground.
'A Fuinjutsu seal is similar to an integrated circuit board. You have to create the IC board component by component and weave a complex network of circuits to make it work as intended.
Similarly, the Fuinjutsu seal is distributed in many circuits, each with its own components. A set of programs written in a specific language operates the IC board. Fuinjutsu has its language too. It has a vast set of runes composed of Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, Roman, Hieroglyphics, Latin, and many other shapes and symbols.
When written in a certain pattern, these symbols invoke the laws of the World to initiate a change. Similar to electricity, chakra or Nature energy is the power source of these seals which triggers these changes.
The more chakra circuit a seal has, the major the changes it will invoke in the surroundings.
For example, most simple Fuinjutsu seals like exploding tags have one or two chakra circuits. The storage scrolls, on the other hand, have ten chakra circuits. The sensing barrier surrounding the village has 360 chakra circuits, while the barrier around my house has 1200 chakra circuits.
The current seal, 'Eight Black Yin-Yang Annihilation Seal' has around 2000 chakra circuits.'
Izuna rapidly carves one circuit after another.
"We have a month before Urashiki arrives. At this rate, we have to carve seventy chakra circuits a day to complete it in a month. I will carve forty chakra circuits a day while the bunch will carve thirty chakra circuits.
Carving these seals consumes a lot of chakra and spirituality. We can only work 7 hours a day before exhausting ourselves."
Izuna's hand moves rapidly as he carves one rune after another. Each chakra circuit is different. Some are complex while some are easy to inscribe.
Soon, the sun sets on the horizon as dusk comes knocking.
-------------
Back in Konoha,
In the Hokage Office,
Tsunade is sitting on her chair as she listens to Shizune's report. Kakashi is lying on a nearby sofa with a book in his hand.
"Damn, that Izuna!"
Tsunade grits her teeth.
She takes a deep breath and stares at Boruto.
"So, this brat is with that man!"
Tsunade heard a report from Izumo and Kotetsu. She finds it funny how this bunch could fool those two guards.
"Izuna has already vouched for them, so there is no problem with their background. But, what's with this current situation?"
"Argh! Dammit! You are getting on my nerves." Naruto grabs Boruto's collar.
"Hehe! You think I am afraid of you?" Boruto brushes his hand away.
Sigh…
"One troublemaker was already enough, now I have to handle two!" Tsunade glares at them.
"It was not my fault! It was this guy who started it first!"
Naruto and Boruto point at each other.
Crack… crack…
Tsunade angrily clutches the corner of the table and tears it apart.
"I had enough of your nonsense!"
Tsunade angrily stands from her seat.
Bonk… Bonk…
She smacks Boruto's and Naruto's heads.
Aww… aww…
Both of them grab their forehead and whimper in pain.
"Kakashi! You will be the one to babysit them. Since your leader, Izuna is the one responsible for this trouble."
Kakashi closes his book and points towards himself.
"Me?!"
"Yes, you! You are the only person who is currently free at the moment. Monitor these brats and prevent them from creating more troubles." Tsunade has a livid expression as she pushes the responsibility to Kakashi.
Hmm…
Kakashi ponders for a while. He takes out a poster from his pocket and turns to Boruto and Naruto.
"Let's go on an Ostrich hunt."
Gulp…
Naruto gulps his saliva.
"Don't tell me, it's that Ninja Ostrich again?!"
