Chapter 18: The Sealing Scroll and the Desire for Ninjutsu!

Minato Namikaze had a solution.

It seemed he already understood the depth of the situation.

Smuggling ninja tools and colluding with the Mist Village—if not handled properly, the consequences could be dire.

During the recent battle, he had learned more of the inside story from the enemy.

'When it involves the village, is covering it up the only thought?'

Uchiha Takashi felt a bit disappointed.

He didn't think the other party couldn't see the conspiracy here.

Reporting to the Hokage alone after sealing their lips clearly indicated a desire to cover up the matter.

"Yes, Minato-sensei!"

Although disappointed, Uchiha Takashi naturally obeyed orders on the surface.

Soon, they set the valley ablaze.

Only then did Uchiha Takashi realize something that was never shown in the anime.

Spoils of war!

No wonder the mission rewards were so low, yet many were willing to take on such tasks.

The spoils were distributed among the ninjas who completed the mission, without the village interfering.

Of course, this was an unspoken rule.

If it were something truly important, the village had the right to requisition it, as the explanation was always in the village's hands.

Hundreds of thousands of ryo!

That was the direct haul this time, with each of the three of them getting several tens of thousands of ryo.

As for the batch of ninja tools?

Naturally, Minato Namikaze packed them up in a sealing scroll to take back.

Just a single kunai could start at ten thousand ryo, and a box contained hundreds of kunai, with dozens of boxes in total, showing their value.

Only someone like Minato Namikaze, raised with the "Will of Fire," would obediently return them to the village.

For someone like Uchiha Takashi, a transmigrant driven by poverty, it would be impossible not to keep them.

But there was good news—turning in these spoils would earn them contribution points.

Contribution points! They had many uses within the village.

Whether for exchanging materials or ninjutsu, it was all possible.

Of course, the prerequisite was being able to meet the Hokage; otherwise, it was just a dream.

For ordinary civilians, exchanging contributions was nearly impossible, a complete pitfall. Otherwise, civilian ninjas wouldn't have Chunin who couldn't even perform C-rank ninjutsu.

As Minato Namikaze was the "grandstudent" of Hiruzen Sarutobi, exchanging contributions was certainly not a problem for him, making it an invisible benefit for Team Three.

Watching the valley turn to ashes, Minato Namikaze prepared to lead Team Three away.

During this time, Uchiha Takashi had gained a lot.

He collected a vast amount of materials not available in the village.

Previously, his activities were limited to the Leaf Village, and he couldn't openly gather materials.

Now, leaving the village was like a mouse jumping into a rice jar.

Plants, animals... they were all his targets.

As for how to explain his actions?

There was no need!

As the team leader, Minato Namikaze definitely knew his background and understood that he was the one who developed the healing potion.

As a researcher, collecting materials was perfectly normal, right?

"Uchiha Takashi, if you don't mind, you can use this sealing scroll!"

Minato Namikaze, seeing Uchiha Takashi carrying a package larger than himself, casually tossed over a sealing scroll.

A sealing scroll!

An absolutely scarce item.

Just one sealing scroll had a starting price of a hundred thousand ryo.

Market price! And it was the kind that no one sold.

"Thank you, Minato-sensei!"

Uchiha Takashi caught the sealing scroll with some excitement.

He knew exactly why Minato could offer it.

Kushina Uzumaki! His girlfriend was a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, the strongest in the field of sealing techniques.

With a girlfriend like that, it was no wonder he could casually produce a sealing scroll.

After checking, he found it had about three cubic meters of space and could only be used for a short time before disintegrating.

With this, Uchiha Takashi could definitely bring back a large amount of materials.

### Chapter 18: The Sealing Scroll and the Desire for Ninjutsu!

A few days later, Team Three returned to Konoha. "…!"

Yamakawa Koji stared blankly at the village.

"Don't block the way!"

Uchiha Takashi reminded him.

It was a bustling time, with many people and carts entering the village, and standing in the middle of the road was indeed obstructive.

There was a procedure to complete before entering the village.

Registration!

After Namikaze Minato completed the registration, he announced the team's disbandment.

"Dismissed!"

With that, he vanished from sight.

This mission involved the smuggling of ninja tools, so he needed to report to the Hokage immediately and had no time to accompany the team.

The latest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

"I'm leaving!"

Yamakawa Koji also hurried off.

Kakashi silently headed towards the training grounds.

Being the last of the Hatake clan, he had nowhere else to go, and training helped him lose track of time.

Thinking back now.

The fact that Kakashi could become a Jonin at the age of 12, setting an unprecedented record, was likely due to his robot-like dedication to training.

As for Uchiha Takashi himself, he naturally returned to the lab to organize materials.

The materials brought back this time would keep him busy for a while.

With some luck, he might even create some valuable items.

Most importantly, he had acquired special materials.

Lizards!

But not ordinary lizards.

These were a type with remarkable regenerative abilities.

Thinking of lizards, he was reminded of the mysterious 'Shouzaki Lizard' from the anime.

However, after inquiring, he found that there was no Shouzaki Castle.

Frustrating!

If he could find it, it would be a major discovery.

Because the combat power of the Shouzaki Lizard was at least on par with Manda or Gamabunta, and at its peak, it could rival a Tailed Beast.

But no worries, with more research, he might find some clues.

The special lizards he acquired could help him develop more potent healing potions.

Of course, this research wasn't for others, but for himself.

As a ninja, injuries are par for the course, and he didn't want to become one of the casualties, so he needed to be prepared.

At the same time, he began planning how to acquire the two types of ninjutsu he most desired.

One of them was medical ninjutsu! Extremely tempting for him.

In terms of combat power, medical ninjutsu was average; even Tsunade, its pioneer, didn't have a high combat ceiling.

But in biological research, it was a godlike skill.

Of course, the other type of ninjutsu Uchiha Takashi wanted was a very special kind of ninjutsu.

Sealing techniques! These are extremely unique.

The range of their effectiveness is vast.

At the lower end, they are almost useless, but at the upper end, they can seal even Kaguya, making them godlike.

Both types of ninjutsu have limitless potential.

But they're not something just anyone can learn.

Restricted knowledge!

Both types of ninjutsu are tightly controlled by the Hokage's faction.

Just knowing that neither the Hyuga nor the Uchiha clans have these techniques shows how closely guarded they are.

Of course, if a ninja clan has its own sealing techniques, that's different.

For example, the Hyuga's Caged Bird or the Uchiha's Four Red Yang Formation are special sealing techniques.

But the sealing techniques Uchiha Takashi wanted to learn were systematic sealing and medical knowledge.

And such knowledge wasn't available in the school library.

Now, with Namikaze Minato as their team leader, it was a different story.

He could learn this knowledge from others through him.
