Hiroshi picked up the brush and turned it around as he started pointing out parts of the seal, "here, this is where the Ichibi is actually sealed, this is called a 3 symbol seal, one of Uzumaki's basic storage seals for sealing away evil entities and souls. It is very powerful and extremely stable one of the reasons why this whole seal works in the end. I reckon this is the reason why even after you completely released the Ichibi earlier today, the Ichibi could not escape from the seal."
He then pointed at the lines around the seal, "These are called transmission seals these should not be here, whoever created the design of the seal wanted you to have access to all of the Ichibi's chakra at a moment's notice, you see here the transmission seals are collected into control seals which then filter the chakra into you tenketsu. The problem is there are several control seals missing that need to stop and regulate the flow of chakra, don't even get me started on the lack of control seals that need to surround the 3 symbol seal to contain the Ichibi's intent leaking through."
Hiroshi shook his head, whoever designed this seal was arrogant enough to think that having constant urges to attack and murder would not destroy Gaara's psychology thoroughly. Plus according to Gaara, the Ichibi could directly talk to him through his thoughts, and most likely peak into his memories.
"The Three symbol seal is solid enough and I can't actually touch it anyway because it would then just destroy the seal, I would first need to contain the 3 symbol seal, maybe making it into the axis of a pointed 4 symbol seal could work..." Hiroshi started ranting as he looked at the seal.
The sand trio didn't understand a single thing so Gaara asked in a confused voice, "Can you fix it?"
Hiroshi nodded slightly his attention still on the seal, it was his first time actually seeing the seal because in the simulations, unless he creates a new seal he won't know what changed.
"Right, sorry" he turned to the Sand trio and explained, "You know sealing is incredibly complicated right, I'll try to simplify what this is okay," he picked up the brush and pointed to the 3 symbol seal, "this whole lines and kanji is called the 3 symbol seal, I already told you that, you can consider it like a block or a box. Inside this thing is the Ichibi, now around this box, you have chakra wires called transmission seals that are constantly taking its chakra and feeding it through these seals, you can consider them as nails hammered into your tenketsu... with me so far?" Hiroshi asked.
Temari nodded her face now having an understanding expression, "I don't know why Suna decided to do this, look I'll show you briefly what this seal should look like. This is the box where the Ichibi is stored, this is the most basic box and when this box is surrounded by 3 other similar boxes of 3 symbol seals, it becomes a 4 symbol seal. It is a more powerful seal core that is more appropriate to actually hold a Bijuu. The advantage of a 4 symbol seal is that you," Hiroshi can point to Gaara and Naruto, "can decide when to communicate and extract chakra from the Ichibi or the Kyuubi in Naruto's case."
Hiroshi looked at the seal again, a little disgusted he explained, "What Suna did was they removed the 3 extra protection blocks that could be used as a switch and instead powered Gaara's tenketsu directly with Ichibi's chakra. The advantage of doing that is with Ichibi's chakra constantly flows through Gaara's tenketsu and concurrently his whole chakra network, it forcibly expands both Gaara's tenketsu and chakra pathways making Gaara's have more chakra than he would have compared to if they used the 4 symbol seal."
He paused once again and then simplified some more, "...basically Suna either had no one access to the 4 symbol seal, which is a little far-fetched considering they had the 3 symbol seal. The only other reason would be that they wanted Gaara's chakra capabilities to be greater when compared to the Jinchuriki of the Nibi and maybe even the Sanbi."
'The seal is pretty bad, now it makes sense why Ichibi was sealed in Gaara before he was born, because if Suna tried to pull this seal off after he was born and after his tenketsu were already set then the seal would have failed. I shouldn't tell them that directly though, it would be more impactful if they figured it out themselves.'
Hiroshi pulled his face into a puzzled mask as he stared at Gaara, it took a second for Temari to pick up his change in expression so she asked, "What happened is there any other problem?"
"In all honesty, this seal shouldn't have worked it should have killed you when they tried to seal the Ichibi in you. After you are born your tenketsu are set, they can expand with age but tampering with them is purely suicidal, and based on the way this seal is structured there should be no way for you to survive this level of Ichibi's chakra flowing through your rigid tenketsu..." Hiroshi asked before he looked back and forth between the seal, his body language indicating he was trying to see if there was any way for the seal to work.
His gambit worked though as Temari staggered back, she looked pained as she stared at the seal once again and Gaara before she asked, "What if the Ichibi was sealed in Gaara before he was born?"
"No no that's purely suicidal," Hiroshi shook his head denying the possibility, before Temari could recover he continued, "although the seal could have worked like that, but to pull it off Gaara needed to still be in his mother's womb and quite some time before his due date for his tenketsu's to be malleable enough. This would mean that even if the seal worked the Ichibi's charka would flood his mother's bod-" Hiroshi physically froze as he looked at the Sand trio with wide eyes. Naruto didn't understand what happed as he looked puzzled, his head bobbing between the Hiroshi and Gaara but he could still feel the tension in the air.
Temari looked at Hiroshi, her stare was a little far away as she asked, "You said the fourth Kazekage died?"
