Capítulo 162: Chapter 162: Sealing Techniques
"Miss Kushina, may I ask for your guidance on the knowledge of sealing techniques?"
Looking at Uzumaki Kushina, who was sitting beside Minato Namikaze with a delicate, gentle demeanor, Toshiro could hardly believe his eyes. He had just witnessed her earlier, mercilessly disciplining Obito, showcasing a much more volatile temperament.
But now, she appeared like an elegant lady, her actions gentle and comportment impeccable, almost like a different person altogether. This made Toshiro feel a bit embarrassed to speak up. However, the opportunity was too rare to pass up.
"Oh! Do you also know about sealing techniques?"
Although Minato had introduced the Uchiha across from them earlier, Kushina hadn't paid him much attention. Thus, she was quite surprised when the other party asked about sealing techniques.
Considering how this Uchiha had been taking care of Kakashi, Obito, and Rin, Kushina decided to overlook his earlier rudeness and replied, "Regarding sealing techniques, I have some understanding. If your questions aren't too complicated, I can try to answer them."
Even though she had a good relationship with her boyfriend's disciples, answering some questions related to sealing techniques wasn't a big deal. Still, she didn't ignore the fact that he was an Uchiha, so she responded modestly, leaving some room for maneuver.
"Ah! It's not a profound question, just some specific runes related to sealing techniques that I've always had trouble understanding. Since today I have the rare chance to meet you, Miss Uzumaki, I couldn't help but be eager. Of course, if it involves the secrets of the Uzumaki clan, I wouldn't dare to ask too much."
People in this world highly value the secrets of various ninja clans, almost as a form of knowledge monopoly, often not easily shared with others. This was why Toshiro only asked a few simple questions about runes; it was impossible for him, a stranger, to expect complete openness.
Even clearing up some fundamental doubts that have been plaguing him for a while would be great.
"You're quite perceptive! Which runes are you unsure about? Show me."
She had been modest earlier, but in her view, except for Minato Namikaze, no one in Konoha could rival her skills as an Uzumaki in sealing techniques. Those in the sealing squad could only maintain the village's barriers and perform sealing techniques by rote, at most. Compared to her and Minato, they were incomparable!
Seeing her agree, Toshiro immediately drew a few symbols on the table with his finger. As he finished, the runes appeared, glowing in blue, clear for everyone to see, astonishing the three youngsters accompanying them.
"Amazing! Toshiro-senpai's chakra control is truly profound!"
As a medical ninja with some understanding of precise chakra control, she knew it would take at least a decade of hard training to reach such a level. Even Minato Namikaze was a bit surprised at this moment. As they say, an expert can recognize another's skill immediately. Toshiro's little demonstration earned his acknowledgment on the spot.
It wasn't that Minato couldn't control chakra to such an extent, but he didn't expect Toshiro to reach this level at such a young age, which surprised him.
"These runes? They mainly function to reinforce the structure of the sealing technique. This one here acts as a chakra energy circuit, enhancing the stability of the technique."
Just a casual glance at the runes Toshiro drew, and Kushina answered his questions easily, showing her deep understanding of them.
As for the surprised reactions of the three youngsters, neither Toshiro, Kushina, nor Minato took it too seriously. Letting them witness such a display could inspire their competitiveness, making them realize there are always people stronger out there.
After the initial shock and curiosity waned, the three youngsters, looking at the runes drawn by Toshiro, found the seemingly incomprehensible symbols and the discussion between Toshiro and Kushina increasingly headache-inducing, losing interest.
This gradually created a casual atmosphere where the six of them were eating and chatting. With Minato joining in, Toshiro delved deeper into the theories of sealing techniques, raising more complex questions. Fortunately, these questions didn't touch upon specific techniques.
Minato's participation made the discussion more profound, with Toshiro sometimes providing novel insights that impressed the couple, transforming it into a two-way discussion rather than one-sided teaching.
However, compared to Minato and Kushina, Toshiro's skills were somewhat lacking. Whether it's the time spent learning sealing techniques or the depth of knowledge gained, there was a gap. Nevertheless, Toshiro's ideas, stemming from the industrial age of his previous life, filled this shortfall perfectly.
By the end of the meal, both Toshiro and Minato's couple felt a sense of fulfillment.
"It was a pleasure today. I look forward to another chance to discuss with you, Minato-senpai and Miss Kushina! Goodbye~"
Waving his hand in farewell, Toshiro didn't even bother with Obito, who was settling the bill at the counter, looking utterly dejected at the total amount. To avoid being silently accused by the broken-hearted youngster on the way home, Toshiro decided it was best to leave quickly.
"Toshiro! Chatting with you was enjoyable! Goodbye…"
Minato, who was also planning to leave with Kushina to enjoy their time together, greeted Toshiro before leaving. The discussion on sealing techniques had benefitted him and Kushina greatly, but spending time with his girlfriend was more important, especially during wartime, when their time together was limited.
Chapter End.
