Looking at the inconspicuous small building in front of him, Shuimu never expected that the Sealing Class was in such a bad state. How could this be called a Sealing Class? It was simply a gathering place for idle ninjas. It seemed that peace had lasted too long, and Konoha had already had many problems. The entire Sealing Class had very few people, just a few people sorting out the information, and it had nothing to do with the Sealing Class at all. It seemed that the Sealing Class would only be reorganized after Tsunade succeeded as the Hokage.
Seeing this situation, Shuimu's heart sank. It seemed that his hope of making a move from here was dashed.
I originally thought that it was one of the most powerful forces in the ninja world. Even the Uzumaki clan, who were good at sealing techniques, were feared and exterminated. The place where sealing was studied in Konoha was considered a confidential area. I didn't expect that I could come in so easily and see such an unbearable scene.
In Shuimu's opinion, this situation probably means that the real core and research center of the sealing technique is either not here but hidden behind the scenes, and this place is just a place for daily sealing maintenance and data sorting. Or the sealing technique has become a secret trump card in the hands of a few privileged people.
Although the sealing technique has never been exposed, its importance is unquestionable. From the Sealing Circle used by Iruka to the Fire Sealing Seal used by Jiraiya, from the Evil Sealing Seal to the Yin Seal, from the Hyuga Curse Seal to the Jinchūriki Seal, all of them are applications of the sealing technique. Even Kaguya Otsutsuki was restricted by the sealing technique. At present, the power and potential of the sealing technique are simply inestimable. From the effects that the known sealing techniques can achieve, it seems that there is nothing that the sealing technique cannot do.
"Mizuki, why are you here?" A surprised female voice came from the side. It was Chie Tsubaki.
"I came to see you, Xiaochun." Shuimu turned around and replied, "I will be on a mission starting tomorrow, so I may not have much time to see you. I happened to be free today, so I came over."
"Hey, you rarely came here before, why are you interested in coming here today? Is the mission very troublesome?"
"No, it's a mission assigned by the Third-generation Master. It's not very dangerous, but it takes a lot of time."
"That's good, Shuimu, it's still early for me to get off work, you can take a look first, I still have things to do, so I can't accompany you~"
"You go ahead and do your work, Xiaochun. I'll just take a look."
…
Shuimu looked almost everywhere in the building, but apart from a few busy figures coming and going, he didn't find much valuable stuff. He stopped someone and asked, "What are those books and scrolls on that shelf over there? Can I see them?"
"Oh, you mean those. Most of them are maintenance information and processing records of Konoha's formations. There are also a lot of other miscellaneous things. I don't know what they are used for. The information recorded in them has long expired and will be destroyed after a while. You can read them, but you can't take them away."
"Then I get it. I'll just watch it to kill time. You go and do your work. Sorry to bother you."
After watching the ordinary-looking man leave, Shuimu slowly moved a chair over, picked up a book from the shelf and started reading.
Originally, I just wanted to kill time and try my luck, but gradually, the more I looked at Shuimu, the more my brows furrowed. I don't know how long it took. Shuimu put the scroll in his hand back on the bookshelf.
"I didn't expect to get such an unexpected reward." Mizuki pressed his dizzy temple. "The sealing technique seems to be more dangerous and more incredible than I imagined. No wonder even Kaguya Otsutsuki is helpless against the sealing technique."
In Shuimu's opinion, the information on these shelves is indeed meaningless if viewed individually, but if it is sorted according to the logic of the previous life, the conclusions drawn, although they cannot help him gain any substantial power, the indirect gains are far beyond imagination.
"As it stands, the 'priority' of sealing techniques is ridiculously high for this world."
Yes, Mizuki also knows a little bit about sealing techniques, and he also knows a little about the basic theories, but he has never studied them carefully, and it is nothing more than insufficient information. In the ninja world, most ninjas would probably just treat the scrolls on the shelf as a pair of garbage, but Mizuki saw a clue from them.
"Sealing is the regulation and extension of the world's will. This is certain."
In my previous life, I read a very popular science fiction novel called "The Three-Body Problem". I was deeply impressed by a passage in it, which roughly said: "If a painting is regarded as a story world, the painter is an omnipotent god. If the god punches a hole every one centimeter on the canvas, then after careful scientific research, the people in the story on the paper will come to a truth: there must be a hole every one centimeter in our world." Isn't it ridiculous? For people, punching a hole is to tell the language and rules of the little people on the paper. In the corresponding ninja world, if the various patterns and arrangements of the sealing technique are regarded as a language, the sealing technique is the world's rules, laws, or truths. All of this must be the basic rules that go deep into the core framework of the world. As long as you understand it, you can obtain absolutely high-end power. Unless you can suppress it with absolute power, or use the same sealing technique to fight against it, it will be very difficult to deal with it.
"But the power of the Sealing Technique requires a lot of trial and error and experimentation to achieve results, which requires a lot of time to study, but time is what is most needed right now. It seems that I have to find a way to seize the ready-made Sealing Technique and knowledge to study. Although relying on my linguistic knowledge and talent in my previous life plus the code cracking I learned through personal interest, combined with my own knowledge of Shuimu, Sealing Technique is the most reliable thing for me to achieve a curve overtaking."
Thinking of this, Shuimu took out another scroll and began to read it slowly.
Before he knew it, the sun had already set, and Shuimu was still immersed in the pleasure of learning. Fortunately, he still had this little skill that he could barely show off in his previous life.
Suddenly, Shuimu moved, and there was a restlessness in his right arm.
"It's Hongdou, why is she here?"
"Hey, it's Shuimu. Why do I see you everywhere? Are you here to see your little fiancée?" The voice came before the person appeared.
"Yes, but it's still early. I'm killing time here while waiting for Xiaochun to get off work. So what are you doing here?"
"The sealing rituals on the Scroll of Heaven and Scroll of Earth for the Chunin Exams are said to be left here by the Sealing Class. I'll see if they're still there."
"Oh, I don't know, but I think it's bad. It's a mess here. It's probably hard to find things."
"I'll go ask first." After saying that, he walked over decisively.
Mizuki didn't think too much about it and continued to look through the scroll until Xiaochun came over and called him.
…
"Weren't you not interested in sealing techniques that don't increase your strength much? Why do you find them so exciting?" Xiao Chun asked.
"I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well kill some time. But after reading it, I found it quite interesting."
"Oh? If you're interested, I can teach you. Although I don't know much, it would be nice for us to discuss with each other."
"Okay." Shuimu was just wishing for it.
"Well, what would you like to eat tonight?"
"Meat and potatoes."
"Then let's go buy groceries together. We haven't cooked together for a long time."
“More meat, no cilantro.”
"Hey, I got it." Xiao Chun said with a smile.
…
Early the next morning, Shuimu arrived at the Death Forest after exchanging documents.
"That's it. It's really huge. The various flowers, plants and trees are obviously larger in size. It's hard to say what kind of terrible things are deeper in there."
Shuimu thought so without hesitation and plunged into the dense forest.
…
After using a trap to kill two wild boars the size of elephants, Shuimu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and sat on a rock to rest.
"Even two wild boars know how to set traps and attack together. Their combat intelligence is not comparable to that of ordinary Genin. If there are more of them, even I can't easily deal with them. No wonder this world can give birth to magical things like summoned beasts. As long as they are not controlled, the birth of intelligent life outside of humans is a natural thing. In this world full of chakra, humans have even long been accustomed to dealing with other intelligent creatures. However, what purpose do snake sages, toad sages, slugs and the like have in participating in the fights between humans? The purpose is really unpredictable."
After a short rest, Shuimu started searching and cleaning up again. As he was busy, his right arm started to feel hot again.
"What's going on? If yesterday was all coincidence, then today's explanation doesn't make sense. We said no one would come, but they are still monitoring us in secret?" Shuimu couldn't help but feel angry.
"Are you sure you haven't revealed your true identity, but you are still being watched? It seems like things are not that simple. However, I don't have any action plan for now. I have to put aside my original plan of making some backup plans in the Death Forest for the time being."
Next, Shuimu carried out the task step by step, and the giant beasts died one by one in Shuimu's hands. It was not until the sun was about to set that Shuimu decided to leave. He went straight to the gate of the Death Forest and found that Mitarashi Anko was already waiting there.
"How's it going today?"
"Lord Anko, there are many problems and the mission is heavy. It's a bit difficult for the two of us to complete the mission in ten days. I think we should ask for support." Mizuki, trying hard to suppress his displeasure, replied: "I think Iruka is a good helper. Most of the beasts in the Death Forest are powerful and fight alone. Iruka's Sealing Circle is an excellent weapon, which is just right for dealing with beasts with low IQ."
"Well, I will report the situation to the Third-generation Master. That's all for today. Go back first and gather here tomorrow morning."
"Yes." Shuimu also wanted to go back earlier so that he could have more time to ask Xiaochun about the sealing technique. Although his foundation was weak, hard work pays off. With confidence in his IQ, Shuimu believed in himself. If his talent in learning various ninjutsu and fighting talents was average, it would be much easier for him to learn something like a foreign language.
