Chapter 12: Obtaining Basic Sealing Ninjutsu

After confirming that Yue Yan was from the Uzumaki Clan, Kushina was in a great mood, and her appetite also improved. She ate four or five bowls of ramen in a row before feeling satisfied.

Seeing Kushina so happy, Minato Namikaze was also relieved. But when he turned to look at Yue Yan, he couldn't help but be stunned.

As a Jonin, one needs a lot of food per day. Therefore, both Minato Namikaze and Kushina ate a large amount.

However, Yue Yan, a boy under ten years old, ate more ramen than the two of them combined. Now, the empty bowls placed beside him were stacked very high.

Kushina glanced at Yue Yan's well - proportioned figure, then at Teuchi who was still making ramen, and said she was very envious.

Suddenly, Kushina slapped the table hard, which startled everyone present. However, she didn't care about that and stared at Yue Yan with shining eyes.

"It's decided! From now on, you're my younger brother."

"Huh?"

Yue Yan had a totally dumb - founded look on his face, having no idea what Kushina was talking about.

"Little brother Yue Yan, I really like you. From now on, you're my younger brother. If anyone bullies you, come to me. Even if you have problems with your training, I can ask Minato Namikaze to teach you."

Kushina thought it was very simple. Although she couldn't recognize Yue Yan as a member of the Uzumaki Clan for now, it wouldn't hurt to recognize him as a little brother, right?

"Come on, little Yue Yan, call me sister first and let me hear it."

"Uh..." Yue Yan looked at Minato Namikaze, who was standing beside him awkwardly. After Minato Namikaze nodded in approval, Yue Yan called Kushina sister.

Hearing this "sister", Kushina excitedly hugged Yue Yan, not caring about the noodle soup splashing on herself.

"Great! I finally have a little brother. I'll definitely love you dearly and won't let you get hurt at all."

Hearing this, Yue Yan, who had originally wanted to struggle, gave up struggling. He could hear Kushina's excitement and tremors. It was the sigh of loneliness from living alone in a foreign land and losing the only clan member. Even with Minato Namikaze as her partner, the sense of belonging brought by clan members was still different.

After the hug, Kushina let go of Yue Yan and took out a Scroll from her ninja tool bags and handed it to Yue Yan.

"Since you're my little brother now, as a gift, I'll give you this introduction to sealing ninjutsu. This is personally summarized by me, the master of sealing ninjutsu. It'll definitely save you several years of detours. If you have any questions or can't understand something, just come to me."

Yue Yan stared blankly at Kushina, who was patting her chest to guarantee. He knew that sealing ninjutsu was not an ordinary ninjutsu, and not just anyone could learn it. Moreover, this was personally summarized by Kushina, the only remaining member of the Uzumaki Clan. Its preciousness was self - evident.

"Thank you, Sister Kushina."

Compared with the perfunctory first sentence, this one came from the bottom of Yue Yan's heart.

Recalling the Nine - Tailed Fox Incident in the original work and Kushina's last instructions to Naruto. Back then, it really brought a lot of tears to Yue Yan's eyes. Regarding this poor woman, although at the beginning there was a suspicion of taking advantage, since Kushina was so kind to him, he would never let such a tragedy happen again. This was what was called "Repay kindness with kindness".

Seeing Yue Yan accept, Kushina was also very happy. She waved her hand boldly and said, "Yue Yan, eat as much as you like. Minato Namikaze is treating for this meal."

Hearing this, Yue Yan's eyes lit up. Normally, Yue Yan would only eat to about 30% full and then consume Energy Cubes. This was both to save money and to improve his physical fitness and vitality.

Of course, it was also possible that Yue Yan couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. But since someone was treating, he decided to indulge himself today.

In this regard, Minato Namikaze, the one paying the bill, only showed indulgence towards Kushina for being so happy. He didn't care about the cost of this meal at all. After all, how much could Yue Yan possibly eat? For him, he could earn it back with just a few high - level missions.

However, when Teuchi handed the bill to Minato Namikaze, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye. He didn't expect that eating ramen could cost so much. Not only did Yue Yan eat a lot himself, but Xiaolan also ate quite a bit.

As a girl, Kushina really liked Xiaolan, such a cute summoning beast.

Before leaving, Kushina smiled and said goodbye to Yue Yan.

"Don't forget to come and play with sister when you have time."

Yue Yan also waved goodbye with a smile.

The next day, at the training ground.

Yue Yan, Asuma, and Kurenai Yūhi gathered here at six o'clock in the morning as required by the Team - Leading Jonin, Hizashi Hyuga.

As a member of the Hyuga clan with strict family traditions, Hizashi Hyuga didn't have Kakashi's bad habit of being late, nor did he have a bad temper.

"From today on, I'll be your Jonin instructor," Hizashi Hyuga said seriously, scanning the three young ones in front of him.

"Nice to meet you all. I'm Hizashi Hyuga, a Jonin from Konoha. Now, you can also introduce yourselves. Tell me what you like, what you dislike, and your dreams and hobbies."

After saying that, Hizashi Hyuga nodded and said, "Let's start from the one on the far right."

"My name is Kurenai Yūhi. I like practicing illusions, and I hate sweets. My dream is to become a great female ninja like Lady Tsunade."

"My name is Asuma Sarutobi. I like..."

As Asuma spoke, he furtively glanced at Kurenai beside him. Maybe his pause was too long, and everyone present looked at him with a puzzled look.

"I like playing shogi. I also hate sweets. My dream is to play shogi with the girl I like."

After hearing this, Hizashi's eyes twitched a bit. The son of the Third Hokage is a bit... off - the - wall. Speaking of which, was it really okay to have a crush at such a young age? It seemed that this team would be a bit difficult to lead.

Putting aside the trivial matters of the Third Hokage's family, Hizashi looked at Yue Yan, the last one who hadn't introduced himself.

"My name is Hongchi Yue Yan. I don't have anything I particularly like. If I have to name one, it would be learning Mystical Palm Technique. As for what I hate, there isn't any. As for dreams, living a full life until old age and death should count as one."

"..." x3

"Was this self - introduction serious? It was so perfunctory! And could living until old age and death even be considered a dream?"

Hizashi Hyuga took back his previous words. Yue Yan seemed even more scatter - brained than the Third Hokage's son. He had even reached the level of being a silly person. Moreover, he felt that it would be even harder to lead this team. What should he do?

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Hizashi Hyuga stared seriously at Yue Yan and the other two.

"As your guiding Jonin, I need to know your abilities and what each of you is good at. Now, I'll be your opponent. You must use your full strength."

Hearing this, Yue Yan tilted his head. It wasn't about snatching the Bell? He was a little disappointed.

Well, it makes sense. Snatching the Bell is probably just a tradition for the Hokage line.

While Yue Yan was thinking about these things, Asuma, still a young and hot - blooded kid, couldn't hold back any longer. He took out his Kunai and rushed towards Hizashi Hyuga.

Hizashi Hyuga had the Byakugan. In his view, Asuma's moves were full of loopholes. With just a few easy dodges, he parried all of Asuma's attacks.

After all, he was facing his own team members. Hizashi Hyuga didn't go crazy and use the Silent Fist. He didn't even use chakra, yet Asuma was sent flying with a single palm - strike.
