113. Learning the Yin Seal

Hokage Building, Mission Hall.

Hanekawa looked at the list of missions on the bulletin board and asked, "Sensei, what rank of mission should we take?"

Tsunade casually pointed and said, "Newly formed ninja teams can only take D-rank missions."

Hanekawa was slightly taken aback.

In the original story, this was indeed mentioned.

But what surprised him was that Tsunade was actually following the rules.

"Basic missions are meant to help you, as recent graduates, quickly get accustomed to the role of a ninja."

Tsunade glanced at Hanekawa and immediately knew what he was thinking.

"Then why were all the missions I did before B-rank or higher?"

Hanekawa blinked and asked.

"Because you weren't a ninja back then."

Tsunade paused, then added, "Having you do basic missions gives me time to teach you."

"That's the real reason, isn't it?"

Hanekawa understood.

"Stop talking nonsense and pick a mission."

Tsunade raised her hand and knocked him on the head.

"This one looks good."

After looking for a while, Hanekawa's eyes suddenly lit up. "Help Granny Cat complete the book 'Paw Encyclopedia.'"

In simple terms, it involved catching ninja cats and having them stamp their paw prints in the book.

Although it was a D-rank mission, it wasn't easy.

After all, ninja cats were fast and agile, and catching them would take some effort.

"Alright."

After a moment of thought, Tsunade nodded.

Hanekawa walked up, exchanged a few words with the staff, and received the corresponding mission scroll.

"By the way, congratulations on graduating."

Tsunade suddenly remembered something and smiled.

"Any rewards for graduating?"

Hanekawa casually asked.

"Reward? Let me pat your head."

Tsunade's eyes sparkled as she reached out her hand.

Hanekawa tilted his head slightly and dodged.

"Why did you have to grow so tall, you brat?"

Tsunade immediately frowned, her tone slightly annoyed.

She was 163 cm tall, and now Hanekawa was already 160 cm.

"That just means you raised me well."

Hanekawa flashed a bright smile.

Tsunade looked at him and couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

Without realizing it, he had already grown up.

That face of his was going to cause trouble for so many girls.

Even she had to admit he was handsome.

"Sensei?"

Hanekawa waved his hand in front of her eyes.

"Let's go find the old man."

Tsunade snapped out of it and said.

"Why are we looking for the Hokage?"

Hanekawa followed her upstairs, looking confused.

"You'll find out soon."

Tsunade casually replied, then kicked the door open.

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled and quickly hid the manga "Redo of Healer" he was reading.

"Did you change the door again?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow. "The kick felt different today."

"Can you focus on something else for once?"

Hiruzen couldn't help but retort.

"Of course I can."

Tsunade reached out her hand. "I just took on two new students. Give me the Second Hokage's water-style jutsu."

"Are you teaching it to Yuuhi Kurenai?"

Hiruzen glanced at Hanekawa and asked.

"Yes."

Tsunade nodded. "Her talent in water-style won't disgrace the Second Hokage's legacy."

"Do as you see fit."

Hiruzen had no objections.

"You're the Hokage, after all. I should at least inform you before taking so many jutsu."

Tsunade chuckled.

"You still remember I'm the Hokage?"

Hiruzen's mouth twitched as he shot back.

"See you!"

Tsunade laughed and dragged Hanekawa away.

As for where the water-style scroll was, she naturally knew.

"Sensei."

Hanekawa thought of something and asked, "Don't we have a backup at home?"

"No."

Tsunade was rummaging through the jutsu storage room. "No one learns water-style, so it's not needed."

"I see."

Hanekawa walked over, took the scroll, and said, "Then I'll learn it too."

"Didn't you already learn lightning-style and fire-style?"

Tsunade's tone became more serious. "Don't bite off more than you can chew."

"I think it's pretty easy."

Hanekawa coughed lightly. "Besides, the Hokage mastered all five elements. I can do it too."

"Kid, do you even hear yourself?"

Tsunade couldn't help but glare at him. "Do you think the old man has poor talent?"

"That's not what I meant."

Hanekawa quickly shook his head.

"Let's talk after you learn the Yin Seal."

Tsunade put away the scroll and said.

"Sensei, are you finally going to teach me the Yin Seal?"

Hanekawa couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

The effects of the Yin Seal were undeniable. Just the ability to store chakra in advance would make most ninja envious.

In addition, it also offered eternal youth, instant healing, enhanced attacks, and kept the body in peak condition.

Of course, it had to be used in conjunction with the Yin Seal: Release and the Creation Rebirth: Hundred Healings Jutsu.

"I didn't teach you before because your body wasn't fully developed."

Tsunade looked him up and down, stroking her chin. "But now, it's about time."

What kind of rogue behavior is this?

Hanekawa followed Tsunade out of the Hokage Building.

...

Uchiha Shisui returned to the Uchiha clan's compound.

Recalling his recent battle with Hatake Sakumo, he couldn't help but marvel at the legendary White Fang of the Leaf.

Even with Sarutobi Asuma and Shizune, the three of them couldn't land a single hit on him.

Shisui's most skilled sword techniques were full of openings in front of him.

He couldn't help but look forward to future training.

With Sakumo's guidance, his swordsmanship would surely reach new heights.

"Shisui."

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out.

Shisui instinctively looked up.

It was Uchiha Fugaku.

And it seemed he had come early, just to wait for Shisui's return.

"Clan Leader."

Shisui quickly stepped forward and greeted respectfully.

"Who's your team leader?"

Fugaku got straight to the point.

In the Leaf Village, as a major clan, the Uchiha had certain privileges or flexibility.

For example, after Shisui graduated, Fugaku could have assigned an Uchiha jonin to be his team leader.

After all, in their eyes, non-Uchiha ninja would only hold him back.

But with Fugaku's permission, Shisui followed the normal graduation process.

"It's Hatake Sakumo."

Shisui replied.

"Him?"

Fugaku's face showed surprise.

In the current Leaf Village, Sakumo's reputation was on par with the Legendary Sannin.

In other words, he was among the top-tier ninja, second only to the Hokage.

Fugaku fell into deep thought.

He knew Hiruzen well, and this move must have deeper implications.

Was it a gesture of goodwill toward the Uchiha clan?

"Who are your teammates?"

Fugaku continued.

"Sarutobi Asuma and Shizune."

Shisui answered.

"Asuma?"

Fugaku's heart skipped a beat.

Now he was certain that Hiruzen was extending an olive branch to the Uchiha clan.

This was undoubtedly a positive sign.

Because Fugaku had no intention of rebelling.

"What about Obito?"

Fugaku secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"His sensei is Namikaze Minato."

Shisui answered truthfully.

"What?"

Fugaku was surprised again.

Minato was Jiraiya's student, which meant Obito had entered the Hokage's lineage.

"Good."

Fugaku's face showed a smile.

Hiruzen's sincerity was evident, and Fugaku was quite satisfied.

He should reciprocate by reining in the hardliners within the clan.

"Too bad."

Fugaku shook his head. "If you and Obito had switched senseis, it would have been perfect."

Sakumo was excellent, but he wasn't part of the Hokage's lineage.

As for Obito, his strength and talent were far inferior to Shisui's, making it unlikely for him to compete for the Hokage position in the future.

The Uchiha clan had been longing for a Hokage for a long time.

Fugaku thought of Shimura Danzo and couldn't help but sigh softly.

...

A new day.

"You two, listen to Lady Tsunade, understand?"

Yuuhi Kurenai's father, Yuuhi Shinku, asked with a smile.

Ever since learning that Kurenai's team leader was Tsunade, his good mood had lasted until now.

He described the situation with four words: bringing honor to the family.

He felt that the day the Yuuhi clan would become a major clan wasn't far off.

"You're so annoying!"

Kurenai said with slight annoyance. "You've already said this many times yesterday!"

Hanekawa could understand Shinku's excitement.

After all, in the ninja world, it was incredibly difficult for ordinary ninja to stand out.

By the late stages, it had become an era of relying on family and bloodlines.

"Hanekawa, let's go!"

Kurenai grabbed his hand, her face beaming with joy.

"That brat!"

Shinku's smile instantly froze.

"Hanekawa, what do you think Tsunade-sensei will teach me?"

Kurenai asked with anticipation.

"The Second Hokage's water-style jutsu."

Hanekawa paused, then added, "From now on, you'll be the Second Hokage's indirect student."

"Wow!"

Kurenai's eyes lit up. "Does that mean I'm on the same level as the Hokage?"

"Theoretically, yes."

Hanekawa thought for a moment and replied.

"Then... what should you call me?"

Kurenai turned around, blocking his path, and asked with a playful smile.

"..."

Hanekawa reached out, cupped her face, and gave it a good squeeze.

"W-What are you doing?"

Kurenai felt the warmth on her face, her heart skipping a beat. She instinctively lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes.

"Making you face reality."

Hanekawa smirked. "Hmm, your face is pretty soft."

Kurenai's face turned bright red in an instant.

She quickly turned away, stammering, "T-Tsunade-sensei must be waiting for us. L-Let's go!"

So cute.

Hanekawa followed her.

Soon, the two arrived at Tsunade's house.

"Hanekawa, Kurenai."

Rin had arrived earlier and greeted them.

"Good morning, Rin."

Kurenai replied with a bright smile.

"You seem really happy today."

Rin was slightly surprised.

"Ah... it's because we're going to learn jutsu from Tsunade-sensei."

Kurenai's face turned red, and she quickly changed the subject. "Aren't you happy?"

"I'm happy too."

Rin smiled gently. "I've always dreamed of becoming a medical ninja, and now I can finally make that dream come true."

"Why do you want to be a medical ninja?"

Kurenai asked with interest.

"I don't want to see my comrades get hurt."

Rin thought for a moment and replied.

"Rin, you're so kind."

Kurenai couldn't help but praise her.

"Not really."

Rin smiled shyly.

"Why aren't you going in?"

Kurenai pointed at the door and asked.

"Tsunade-sensei isn't awake yet. I didn't want to disturb her."

Rin explained.

"Don't spoil her."

Hanekawa took out a key and walked toward the door. "She's the kind of person who..."

"The kind of person who what?"

The door suddenly opened, and Tsunade stood there with a blank expression.

"...deserves to be treated seriously."

Hanekawa quickly changed his tone.

"I can't keep this student. Talking behind my back."

Tsunade snorted, clearly displeased.

"Then... who's going to cook for you?"

Hanekawa asked with a hint of amusement. "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Pork ramen."

Tsunade glared at him.

Kurenai and Rin exchanged glances, feeling that the two of them didn't seem like teacher and student at all.

"Have you two eaten?"

Tsunade turned to them and asked.

"Yes."

Kurenai and Rin replied.

"From now on, you don't have to eat before coming here. Just have Hanekawa cook for you."

Tsunade walked over, handed them two scrolls, and said, "While we have time, I'll start teaching you."

Rin would learn medical ninjutsu, while Kurenai would learn water-style jutsu.

Although Tsunade wasn't particularly skilled in water-style, her vast knowledge and experience made her more than capable of teaching the basics.

"Sensei, come eat."

Half an hour later, Hanekawa's voice called out.

"Keep practicing."

Tsunade instructed them and walked into the living room.

She sat at the dining table and casually tossed Hanekawa a scroll.

It was the Yin Seal.

Hanekawa opened the scroll and began reading.

The Yin Seal, originating from the Uzumaki clan, was a combination of sealing and medical ninjutsu.

First, a chakra reservoir was created on the forehead using sealing techniques. Once filled, the Yin Seal would be complete.

Next was the application of medical ninjutsu, which involved fine-tuning chakra to achieve optimal physical condition.

In the original story, Haruno Sakura took about three years to master it.

Hanekawa had initially estimated the same, but after obtaining the C-rank talent "Genius Genin," which increased his chakra capacity by 50%, he believed he could cut that time in half.

"Let's go catch some cats."

After finishing her ramen, Tsunade stood up and headed out.

At the tool shop, they met Granny Cat and received the "Paw Encyclopedia."

Their task was to head to the empty district, catch ninja cats, and have them stamp their paw prints in the book.

"Rin and Kurenai, this mission is yours."

Tsunade stopped Hanekawa and said, "You're not allowed to use ninjutsu, but you can gather chakra at the soles of your feet."

This was a training exercise in chakra control.

Hanekawa immediately understood—it was similar to water-walking and tree-climbing, but more challenging.

"Now, I'll teach you the Yin Seal."

Tsunade ignored Kurenai and Rin and turned to Hanekawa.
