Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 186 The Origin of Sealing Techniques

After some questioning, the four main researchers at the Cloud Hidden Sealing Research Institute have been basically confirmed—

Genta does indeed have some talent in sealing techniques, but he lacks knowledge in them.

Moreover, this talent isn't actually that strong. If he were truly a genius, they would have poached him directly!

After discovering that Genta had little foundation and his talent was barely noticeable, Togi stopped talking to him.

The other person, Katai, who seemed much more easygoing, then explained the previous classification issue to him: "Sealing techniques can be broadly divided into two major schools. One originated from the Sage of Six Paths and was contemporaneous with ninjutsu; the other originated from an even more ancient period of humankind."

"What's wrong? Genta, do you have any questions?" Kata noticed that Genta seemed hesitant to speak.

"Lord Katai, I heard that ninjutsu was created by Indra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths. So, the sealing techniques created by the Sage of Six Paths can't be said to be from the same era as ninjutsu, right?" Akaishi asked with concern.

"Hmm—if you're being serious, you could say that—you really like these legends." Katai looked at "Genta" strangely. It was one thing for him to be the Sage of Six Paths, after all, he was the legendary first Shinobi Master and the founder of the ninja clan, a name many people had heard of.

However, not many people have heard of the name "Indra".

"Yes! I love Lord Indra so much!" Akaishi said truthfully.

Seeing Genta's reaction, no one doubted anything even more.

The Sage of Six Paths is the founder of the Ninja School and ninjas, and many people believe that ninjutsu was invented by him.

However, that's not actually the case.

Hidden Cloud Village is also a hidden village with the lineage of the Sage of Six Paths, especially the former Gold Horn and Silver Horn, who were said to be the descendants whose bloodline was closest to that of the Sage of Six Paths. There are also many legends about them!

To be precise, the progenitor of ninjas, the Sage of Six Paths, did not know ninjutsu.

Or perhaps, he possessed a power more fundamental than ninjutsu.

According to legend, the Sage of Six Paths was the first to spread "chakra" to ordinary people, so that ordinary people could also extract chakra.

However, "ninjutsu" did not appear at the beginning.

The ninjutsu used by ninjas in the ninja world today was created by Indra, who is said to be the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths. He possessed the Sharingan and simplified the Sage of Six Paths' power into the "ninjutsu" we know today.

In other words, if "sealing techniques" were created by the Sage of Six Paths, then they must have existed "before the advent of ninjutsu"—

This also aligns with another legend within the Uchiha clan—that when the Sage of Six Paths roamed the world, he sealed away many demons that wreaked havoc on the land.

"In short, one school of thought originated from the Ninjutsu, the progenitor of all ninjas, while the other school dates back to even earlier times—before even the Sage of Six Paths existed—and is one of them," Katai explained.

Although Akaishi hadn't known about these things before, he knew of legends that corroborated this claim—legends say that the "Summoning Technique" wasn't invented by the Ninja Clan, and some even more outlandish legends claim that the Sage of Six Paths was initially guided by ninja beasts from the three sacred lands during his training.

However, this bizarre legend was not adopted when the Uchiha clan compiled its own legends. Instead, they replaced it with a more reasonable conjecture—that Indra invented the "Summoning Technique"!

"Of the two ninja villages that are currently most skilled in sealing techniques, Konoha's sealing techniques lean towards the former, which is derived from the Sage of Six Paths, while Sunagakure's sealing techniques lean towards the latter, which is more ancient. As for our Kumogakure—"

After a pause, Katai proudly said, "We combine the strengths of both! Originally, our [Iron Armor Seal] was closer to the sealing techniques of Sunagakure. However, in the past year, our research has made a huge breakthrough, and we have also made great progress in the sealing techniques of the Six Paths School. Although we are still slightly inferior in key aspects, we have been able to combine it with the original [Iron Armor Seal]."

Upon hearing this, Genta showed an expression of admiration.

Fortunately, Akaishi had seen too many shameless people. Seeing this guy's proud look and hearing him halfway through his story, he was already mentally prepared, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to hold back.

Is that a significant advancement in your research? Didn't you steal it from the Uzumaki clan? The slightly less impressive part is that you tried to kidnap Kushina, but I and my men blocked your way, right?

Of course, the people at the Hidden Seal Research Institute wouldn't tell this to "Genta," an outsider.

Their words revealed that they had suddenly discovered a series of new research findings and decided to apply them to the "Ironclad Seal." As for Brubi, the vessel for the seal, all the adverse reactions were merely the growing pains of modifying the seal.

Akaishi's judgment was based on what Captain Orochimaru said: if they were truly capable of modifying the Uzumaki clan without breaking the seal, they wouldn't be eyeing them!

Ultimately, the original sealing techniques of Kumogakure were not very advanced, relying entirely on the Six Paths Treasures of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers. Akashi even suspected that the "Iron Armor Seal" might have been "researched" in Sunagakure.

It was precisely because of this sense of crisis that, taking advantage of the Second Hokage's passing and the turmoil in Konoha, they risked destroying the Land of Whirlpools, seizing a portion of the Uzumaki clan's legacy, and fantasizing about combining it with the "Ironclad Sealing Technique"—

"Troy, later you'll explain to Genta in more detail the differences between the two sealing techniques, our idea of ​​combining them, and some minor issues we're currently facing—Lord Brubi's health is also a goal we're working on!" Kata said to Troy.

Judging from their uniforms, the four people in front of Akaishi should all be top-level researchers, but Troy is probably younger and therefore more likely to be given orders.

Clearly, after Akaishi's genuine performance, none of them now found anything suspicious about "Genta." Although he knew a lot about ancient legends and didn't seem like a typical folk chakra practitioner, it could all be explained as "hearsay" or "interest."

Surely he can't really be a member of the Uchiha clan? That's insane! There are Uchiha clan members here, coming to Kumogakure to hype up Indra—

After the other three researchers left, Troy said to Akaishi, "Genta, remember not to say anything like 'I like Indra' in Kumogakure."

"Huh?" Akashi was taken aback upon hearing this.

"You know about the Uchiha clan of Konoha, right?" Troy countered.

"I've heard of it." Akaishi nodded.

"Those guys claim to be descendants of Indra, and in Kumogakure—well, many ninja clans—have rather tense relations with the Uchiha." Troy didn't say it explicitly, but it was clear that the Yotsuki clan was the main culprit.

Currently, only they in Kumogakure have such a great influence.

As for the reason—

Akaishi could have guessed it!

The clan history records that the Uchiha clan and the Land of Lightning actually have a deep connection; the Uchiha clan almost established a village there.

The former home of the Uchiha clan is located in what is now Konoha Village, in the lower reaches of the Naka River. The Naka Shrine is also situated here, in what is now the most fertile plain on the continent.

However, three hundred years ago, the Uchiha clan was driven out of the Naga Plain by a group of despicable ninja clans. At that time, the Naga Shrine was also sealed away, and the Uchiha clan went to the northeastern peninsula. During those three hundred years, the inheritance of the Mangekyou Sharingan was almost interrupted. It wasn't until a few decades ago that the Uchiha Madara brothers reclaimed the location of the Naga Shrine and awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan again.

At that time, he was the daimyo of the Land of Lightning, and he employed both the Uchiha and Hagoromo clans. He fought against the Senju clan, who were employed by the Land of Fire, on the Naga Plain.

The war between the three ninja clans, all descendants of the Six Paths of Hell, ended with the annihilation of the Hagoromo clan and the Senju and Uchiha clans making peace. This marked the beginning of the ninja village era.

The Uchiha clan didn't become outstanding and envied only after arriving in Konoha—the Yotsuki clan, who had been neighbors with the Uchiha clan for three hundred years, had an extremely poor relationship with them.

More importantly, although the "one country, one village" model is now mature, the Land of Lightning still employs the Uchiha clan—a long-term task established before the era of the ninja villages, and this cooperation continues even after the establishment of the ninja villages.

That's the one guarding Hell Valley!

This is considered a "private" mission for the Uchiha clan, and they don't even go through Konoha's channels.

The task is simple: to guard the "Blood Pool" clan imprisoned here.

Akashi didn't know the specifics, but he did know that the Jonin in the clan would usually serve a period of time in Hell Valley after being promoted.

As one of the five great nations, this ninja village has long employed other great nations for domestic missions, which is truly unique.

It was fine during the Second Raikage's time; in fact, it was one of the links between Konoha and Kumogakure. But—

The Night Moon Clan strongly disapproved of this!

Of course, his disapproval was useless.

Because the bloodline limit of the "Blood Pond Clan" is very special, it must be guarded by a "Sharingan" user, so the Yotsuki Clan cannot replace the Uchiha in this matter.

Naturally, he couldn't voice any objections, and could only grow angrier the more he thought about it.

Afterwards, Troy took Genta and explained their current "feat". During the conversation, Akaishi also learned that Troy was actually a "Magnet Release" ninja!

Magnetism!

The signature bloodline limit of Sunagakure —

Akaishi has now basically confirmed that the original "Iron Armor Seal" of Kumogakure was probably obtained from Sunagakure!

From Troy, Akaishi also understood why they were so eager to change the "Ironclad Seal".

Safety is certainly a factor, but using the "Iron Armor Seal" to seal the Eight-Tails would make it too easy for it to go berserk.

Furthermore, this seal also restricts the Jinchūriki's ability to exert himself, preventing him from effectively utilizing the power of the Eight-Tails.

In this respect, Konoha—or rather, the Uzumaki clan's—sealing technique is particularly strong, which led to the tragedy that occurred in the Land of Whirlpools.
