Chapter 77

Yoruha didn't dwell too much on the topic.

After helping Kakashi bring Naruto and Sasuke back to Tazuna's house, Kakashi sought Yoruha out to learn more about what had happened with Naruto.

During Naruto's rampage, Kakashi had been busy fighting Zabuza and hadn't been able to observe Naruto's condition.

Under the moonlight on the balcony of one of the rooms, the two of them sat together.

Yoruha began, "The seal inside Naruto has started to weaken. This time, during his rampage, two tails appeared."

"Even with just two tails, he was already giving me immense pressure. If he had gone to three tails, I don't think I would've been able to suppress him."

This was Yoruha's personal assessment.

Even with Naruto at the two-tail state, Yoruha had felt a significant threat. He believed that if Naruto's transformation had progressed to three tails, he wouldn't have been able to manage the situation.

Yoruha's mindset was somewhat similar to Hashirama Senju's; he only saw how powerful the opponent was without realizing how much of a threat he himself posed.

In reality, Yoruha had used a combination jutsu to subdue Naruto with relative ease.

The chakra he consumed hadn't even reached one-tenth of his reserves.

Moreover, his combination of the Water Dragon Bullet and Lightning Release wasn't just effective against a two-tailed Naruto. It would have been more than sufficient to suppress even a three-tailed Naruto.

The real threat to Naruto during his rampage wasn't the Water Dragon Bullet but Yoruha's Lightning Release.

Yoruha's Lightning Release was entirely different from that of ordinary ninja—it was significantly more powerful and destructive.

Kakashi, however, wasn't aware of these specific details.

But he could clearly sense how sinister and menacing the chakra Naruto had emitted during his rampage had been.

Kakashi believed Yoruha's words without question.

"This is also why the Third Hokage entrusted Naruto to me," Kakashi explained.

"Since becoming a ninja, Naruto's chances of losing control have increased significantly compared to before."

"Based on the combat ability he displayed during today's rampage, it's clear that even I would struggle to suppress him."

"Although I have the Sharingan, I'm not an Uchiha. My ability to suppress tailed beasts is limited."

"If it weren't for your intervention today, I don't think I would've been able to calm Naruto down."

Yoruha responded, "When we return to the village, you should consider learning some sealing techniques, Kakashi-sensei. Since the Third Hokage entrusted Naruto to you, he'll likely support you in learning seals that can help handle his rampages."

Kakashi gave a bitter smile. "It's not that simple. Do you really think learning sealing techniques is easy?"

"Basic seals are one thing, but seals designed to suppress tailed beasts are incredibly difficult to master."

"I've tried to learn them before, but most of those techniques are forbidden-level jutsu, and I couldn't grasp them."

"Besides, Konoha's tailed beast sealing techniques largely originate from the Uzumaki Clan."

"Many of them require the bloodline of the Uzumaki to be fully mastered. The Fourth Hokage could use them because his wife was from the Uzumaki Clan."

"I've studied those techniques in the past but couldn't learn them."

Kakashi felt helpless. It wasn't that he hadn't tried to learn the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques; he simply hadn't succeeded.

After all, he had been the Fourth Hokage's student. Given Minato's personality, it was natural for him to have taught Kakashi sealing techniques.

But even so, Kakashi hadn't been able to master them.

It was much like how the Flying Thunder God Technique wasn't something only Minato had studied—several of his contemporaries had attempted to learn it as well.

Even the guards had studied it, but none had succeeded in learning it.

Kakashi was undoubtedly a genius, but his talent lay mainly in combat. When it came to sealing techniques, his aptitude wasn't particularly strong.

And sealing techniques designed for tailed beasts were especially challenging, which was why Kakashi hadn't mastered them.

Yoruha was a bit surprised. "Even you couldn't learn it? Just how difficult is it?"

Kakashi sighed. "It's really difficult. Many of these techniques also require the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan to perform."

Yoruha thought about it and realized that Kakashi was right. Many of the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques did rely on their unique bloodline.

For instance, the Adamantine Sealing Chains.

This sealing technique was extremely powerful. Thanks to it, the Nine-Tails had never gone on a rampage inside Uzumaki Kushina.

And the technique wasn't only used for sealing—it could also be employed in combat.

During the Fourth Great Ninja War, when Karin Uzumaki erupted with the Adamantine Sealing Chains to save Sasuke, she shattered Ginkaku's arm into pieces.

Before Minato Namikaze sealed the Nine-Tails inside Naruto, Kushina had restrained the beast completely using the Adamantine Sealing Chains, even in her dying moments.

This alone was a testament to the technique's overwhelming strength.

However, this technique was clearly tied to the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan.

After all, only Uzumaki Karin and Uzumaki Kushina were known to have used it.

There were also other incredibly powerful sealing techniques, like the Reaper Death Seal.

But this was a one-time-use jutsu. Even if Kakashi knew it, Yoruha wouldn't want to learn it.

Kakashi turned to Yoruha suddenly, as though an idea had struck him.

"Wait a second. Just because I found it difficult doesn't mean you will."

Kakashi considered Yoruha's talent for ninjutsu. Could it be that Yoruha also had a natural aptitude for learning sealing techniques?

Yoruha was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

Kakashi explained, "What I mean is, if you have a knack for learning sealing techniques, I can teach you."

"Even though I didn't manage to master them back then, I still remember the principles very clearly."

"But aren't these sealing techniques classified as forbidden? Shouldn't a genin like me be restricted from learning them?"

Yoruha frowned slightly.

He wasn't worried about whether he could learn them but was more concerned about whether this would cause trouble for Kakashi.

After all, sealing techniques capable of suppressing tailed beasts were definitely considered village secrets.

And most of Konoha's sealing techniques originated from the Uzumaki Clan.

The Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques were among the finest in the ninja world.

During the Fourth Great Ninja War, even Killer Bee had remarked to Naruto that the sealing techniques on Naruto were far superior to the ones on him.

This alone highlighted how precious the Uzumaki Clan's techniques were.

It was partly because of this that the Uzumaki Clan had been annihilated.

Kakashi waved his hand dismissively. "I trust you completely."

"I even taught you the Chidori. If you can learn sealing techniques, we'll have a solid way to deal with Naruto's situation."

Kakashi had absolute confidence in Yoruha.

In fact, Kakashi was well aware that Yoruha's current strength had already surpassed his own.

But Yoruha had remained unchanged.

There wasn't a hint of arrogance in his demeanor.

Even Kakashi, back in his own youth, hadn't been able to maintain the humility that Yoruha exhibited now.

"It's decided, then. Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you all the sealing techniques I know. Some of them were taught to me personally by the Fourth Hokage. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to learn them at the time."

Kakashi felt a bit ashamed.

For someone regarded as a genius, his talent in sealing techniques truly wasn't remarkable.

He could perform basic seals, like the Evil Sealing Method, without issue.

But a technique like that couldn't compare to the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques.

It wasn't even sufficient to control something like the curse mark on Sasuke.
