Chapter 98 Kushina's Opportunity

The "Orochimaru-style Substitution Technique" given to him by Orochimaru can be considered one of Orochimaru's signature ninjutsu.

It can be considered a variant of the "substitute technique".

It can shed an outer layer of skin to break free from its opponent's grasp.

In the battle between Sasuke and Itachi, after being hit by "Amaterasu", Sasuke used "Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique" to shed his skin and successfully evade Itachi's eye technique.

Of course, the "Orochimaru Substitution Technique" alone is not enough; this technique also has a matching ninjutsu called "Soft Body Modification".

After mastering this technique, one can greatly enhance flexibility and elasticity; it is a secret ninjutsu created by Orochimaru.

The modified body can freely stretch or twist at any angle, and can even turn its hands and feet into whips to launch attacks.

Only by mastering "software modification" can one freely use the "Orochi-style Substitution Technique" like a snake, spitting out their own body.

Otherwise, the outer layer will crack open, exposing the inner layer.

"for you."

The two arrived at a dumpling shop, and Kiyoshi gave her a three-colored dumpling.

Mitarashi Anko happily accepted it before leaving.

Kiyoshi put the roll away, bought some ingredients, and headed home.

…………

"The new container... I can feel your fear... and your confusion. You understand, don't you? You are actually more bound than I am..."

Kushina frowned deeply in her sleep.

She dreamt that she was in a dark, cramped place, and cold water was wetting her ankles.

Before Kushina stood a gigantic figure with menacing fangs.

"I will free you..."

Like a fox, the beast opened its blood-red maw.

"what!"

Kushina woke up with a start.

She was still shaken when she woke up, so she got up, picked up a water glass from the bedside table, and took a sip of water.

After finishing the cup, Kushina put it down.

There was not only an empty water glass on the bedside table, but also Mito Uzumaki's photo album.

Kushina rubbed her face, and after washing up, she looked out the window.

"It was the same scene as always, and the same two watchers as always."

Kushina felt suffocated.

Although in order to protect her privacy and prevent her from going completely insane, the two monitors did not monitor her when she went to the toilet, took a shower, or changed clothes.

More often than not, he would lurk in the distance, sensing whether her chakra had changed.

Two ANBU surveillance officers who had been guarding the rooftop of the building across the street all night saw Kushina leave and flashed in front of her.

What are your plans for today?

"I asked the secret service officer."

This is a necessary procedure, and records are kept daily and then reported.

"I trained in sealing techniques with Minato."

Kushina continued with her usual replies.

Every day is the same, nothing new.

Kushina had already finished reading the picture book that Kiyoshi gave her, and out of boredom, she read it over and over again.

"Just make sure they don't leave the barrier, that's all. We won't interfere with anything else, Kushina Uzumaki."

"Okay, I understand."

Kushina opened the window and looked outside.

Today's conversation was the same as usual.

After watching for a while, Kushina closed the window and prepared to go find Minato Namikaze.

I made an appointment with Minato Namikaze today to learn sealing techniques together.

Minato Namikaze's sealing techniques were basically all taught to him personally; they were all secret sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, including the "Four Symbols Seal," and so on.

Although Kushina didn't know why the Konoha elders didn't object to her teaching sealing techniques to Minato Namikaze, she was fine as long as it was good for Minato.

Kushina didn't want to care about the others, and even if she knew the reason, no one would explain it to her.

…………

Kiyoshi's family.

The white snake opened its black eyes and slowly crawled onto Kiyoshi's neck, forming a circle around him like a scarf.

Kiyoshi ignored the white snake's actions.

The White Snake has very low intelligence, probably only the intelligence of a three- or four-year-old child.

For Kiyoshi, all he needed to do was be loyal and obedient.

Abilities are secondary.

He stroked the white snake's cool scales and opened the entry panel.

[Entry: Pure Illusionist (White)]

[Requirement: Learn one pure illusion spell.]

Progress: 98%.

[Effect: Your illusion skills are solid; regardless of the illusion you use, they will be enhanced by 5% from their original level.]

[Note: Further advanced techniques are available.]

"That's about it."

Qing Si estimated that he would be able to grasp the situation by tonight.

He closed his eyes and continued his practice.

As he gets older, his chakra reserves increase day by day.

With his dual bloodline limits and attribute panel, his development speed is unimaginable to others.

Crack!

An electric current surged through Kiyoshi's body once more, flowing slowly through him.

This made his body even stronger.

While others were still using inefficient training methods, Kiyoshi was already able to rapidly strengthen himself by leveraging his superior chakra control.

He's getting stronger every single second!

…………

"I'll be very strict today too!"

Finally, Kushina saw Minato Namikaze at the agreed location.

She enthusiastically waved her little fist and said:

"Furthermore, Minato understands very quickly, because the Uzumaki clan has many, many more sealing techniques, and next..."

"I'm sorry, Kushina..."

Minato Namikaze interrupted Kushina, who was speaking enthusiastically.

Kushina looked puzzled.

"Today I want to practice different ninjutsu elsewhere... I'm here to tell you that."

Minato Namikaze said, forcing himself to speak.

He could imagine that Kushina would definitely be angry.

But that technique is about to be developed.

If he doesn't develop it during this time, he'll become a Jonin leading a team, and then he won't have much time to develop ninjutsu.

We must hurry.

"What kind of technique?"

"Um...me"

Minato Namikaze stammered and couldn't get the words out.

Kushina's face immediately fell with disappointment as she said, "I understand. It's a ninjutsu that I can't tell you either."

"No, it's because it's not finished yet, it's dangerous, and I don't want you to get hurt..."

"If you hate being with me, just say so!"

Kushina was so angry that her bright red hair almost stood on end.

Unfortunately, before Minato could explain to Kushina, someone called his name and went over.

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze had no choice but to say goodbye to Kushina and walk away into the distance.

"what……"

Kushina looked disappointed.

Minato actually stood her up.

"Kushina, what happened?"

Kiyoshi, who was passing by, asked.

Besides his training at home, he would go out in his spare time to try his luck and see if he could run into Kushina and Minato Namikaze.

Kiyoshi was lucky; he ran into her on his first try.

"Minato stood me up."

Kushina sighed.

She is very outgoing and doesn't hide her feelings from others.

Especially since Kiyoshi shared a similar situation with her, Kushina felt a sense of kinship, as if she had seen a kindred spirit.

Some people say it's bland, so I'll start making an outline. Otherwise, if I stay up all night writing it and the quality isn't high, I can only say sorry, don't go (crying).

Also, if you have any requests, please let me know in the comments so I can consider them.
