I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 358 The role of knowledge is to make dreams a reality.

"Tatsuma, do you still have those scrolls related to summoning techniques from the Second Hokage?"

At Kushina's house, Minato waited until Tatsuma finished his training and then asked him, "What do you need those scrolls for?" Tatsuma nodded, then asked with some confusion, "What are you going to do with those scrolls?"

Those scrolls only refer to two things: the Flying Thunder God and the various uses of spirit communication techniques.

In the former case, Minato had a more complete Flying Thunder God Ninjutsu scroll, and in the latter case, he also learned it. Even Jiraiya and Orochimaru developed some newer techniques, so those diary scrolls were no longer of much use.

Minato gathered his thoughts and said, "I suddenly thought of something. It seems that the Second Hokage did an experiment and said that because of its fluidity, fluids cannot be stably imprinted with spells like solids."

Tatsuma nodded and said, "That's true."

"But..." Minato scratched his head and said, "Didn't the Second Hokage conduct an experiment to summon the ocean? Although the retrieval failed, he successfully summoned it. Why is that?"

Although it was unclear why Minato was so concerned about this issue, Tatsuma explained, "The fluid itself cannot leave behind a summoning seal, but it can summon the container and the fluid inside it."

Chakra possesses extremely high tension, and jutsu formed from chakra, to some extent, is also a "container." In other words, the essence of summoning the ocean is simply the instantaneous exchange between summoning jutsu.

As Chenma spoke, he took out a scroll, unsealed it, and found a stack of white paper. Chenma formed a pair of opposing hand seals with one hand, and the white paper instantly combined into a square, topless container. Then the seal pattern changed.

"Water Release: Water Wave Hand!"

With his other hand, a large amount of water gushed out and poured into the paper basin. Tatsuma loosened his hand seal, pointed to the paper basin, and said, "You see, the tension of the chakra on the paper prevents the water from truly contacting the paper."

This is also one of the important reasons why the form of many ninjutsu can be controlled. The tension of chakra allows the simulated or mobilized natural elements to maintain a certain shape without collapsing.

But once the chakra is depleted, the tension disappears, just like...

"Smack~ Crash~"

Water soaked through the paper, the paper basin cracked, and the water in the basin spilled onto the ground. Tatsuma continued, "The principle of the Second Hokage's summoning of seawater is that when he performs the summoning jutsu in the sea, he borrows the tension of chakra to act as a container for the seawater."

When the chakra of the technique disappears, the seawater naturally loses its stability and cannot be recovered. Therefore, the essence of summoning the sea is not summoning the seawater, but summoning one's own technique.

In fact, it also applies to summoning jutsu. For example, if you summon Gamabunta, when the jutsu is activated, chakra will cover his body, clothes, and weapons.

But when he slew the spirit, the spell disappeared. At this point, he took off his clothes and threw away his weapons. When the slewing ended, these clothes and weapons did not return with him.

Minato nodded thoughtfully, a troubled look on his face. Tatsuma asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly asking this question? Do you also dream of connecting with the ocean?"

Hearing Tatsuma's teasing, Minato shook his head. Although he didn't know why the Second Hokage was so persistent, he wouldn't do that. Minato explained:

"I'm thinking about a possibility: could the Rasengan be linked with sealing techniques? The Rasengan has excellent diffusion and penetration effects. If it were used as the power source for sealing techniques, the efficiency of sealing would be greatly improved."

However, the chakra in motion, that is, the chakra within the Rasengan, should also be considered a fluid. If a technique cannot be inscribed on a fluid, then is my idea just wishful thinking?

Tatsuma frowned, lost in thought. To rationally analyze the Rasengan and add a sealing technique, it was indeed just wishful thinking.

Even Tatsuma couldn't think of any sealing technique that could be "flowing" and used, since sealing techniques are an extremely precise art, which doesn't match the principles of the Rasengan itself.

Seeing Tatsuma deep in thought, Minato scratched his head again, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I was just thinking that since the Flying Thunder God Technique can transform, then sealing techniques should also have similar potential."

If I can synchronize the transformation of the sealing technique formula with the "turbulence" of the Rasengan, then perhaps I can use the Rasengan to cast the sealing technique even faster.

"Individual chakra particles cannot be detected by the senses at all. When we mobilize chakra, the seemingly orderly chakra is actually extremely chaotic at the microscopic level."

To find the pattern here, we also need to consider the chakra trajectory after the Rasengan hits the enemy, which is beyond human capability.

Tatsuma rejected Minato's idea, and Minato's somewhat embarrassed smile disappeared, replaced by a troubled expression. However, Tatsuma quickly added, "But if it only has a sealing effect, it's not impossible."

Upon hearing this, Minato's eyes lit up again. Staring at Tatsuma, he knew that his best friend would definitely have a solution, after all, Tatsuma-kun had always been smarter than him.

Facing Minato's expectant gaze, Tatsuma said, "There are probably two directions I can think of. The first is special chakra, such as chakra that carries sealing power."

"But...does such chakra even exist?"

"Yes, the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure has a magical sealing effect in its chakra. If we could borrow its chakra to use the Rasengan, we might be able to release a Rasengan with a sealing effect."

Upon hearing this, Minato's eyes darkened. He did not doubt the accuracy of Tatsuma's intelligence, after all, the mission in the Land of Water had already proven how strong Tatsuma's intelligence work was.

But that's a Tailed Beast! The village's most valuable asset—how could they just hand it over? He looked at Tatsuma and asked, "What about the second option?"

"You are familiar with Bagua Empty Palm and know the principle behind my Light Water Penetration Technique. Through certain methods, chakra is injected into the enemy's body, and then the viscosity of the fluid is changed. When the viscosity is high enough, the meridians will be completely blocked, thus sealing the opponent."

Tatsuma explained, and Minato nodded, but quickly pursed his lips and said, "What if the enemy I want to target is a being composed of chakra, rather than a human or other animal? Chakra isn't the kind that's transported through meridians and acupoints."

"A tailed beast?"

Minato nodded again, and Tatsuma touched his chin, which was starting to feel slightly prickly, and said, "That's troublesome. Sealing a tailed beast is a huge undertaking, and there aren't many seals that can work on tailed beasts."

The method for dealing with tailed beasts is simply to forcibly seal them as a whole, just like a jinchūriki, sealing the tailed beast's chakra and the physical body that the tailed beast manifests together.

"Either you use overwhelming power and a continuous stream of chakra to render the Nine-Tails powerless to resist, just like the First Hokage did. If you're targeting a tailed beast, I have an idea. Do you know if it's feasible?"

"What method?"

"Your idea is to use the Rasengan and then use it to unleash a sealing technique to seal the tailed beast. What if we take a different approach? First, leave a technique on Kurama, and then, after the technique is activated, use the tailed beast's chakra to cast the Rasengan."

You're weakening the Tailed Beast by simultaneously consuming its chakra and using a Rasengan formed from its chakra to attack it? The sealing technique you can instantly cast on Kurama is actually ineffective.

However, if you can leave behind the Rasengan formula and accumulate it multiple times, causing the Tailed Beast to have its chakra extracted by hundreds or thousands of Rasengan formulas at the same time, then, will it still have the strength to resist?

At this point, you can even leisurely set up a sealing array to seal the weakened tailed beast.

"Symbolizing the Rasengan? Is that really feasible? And the traditional way of styling ninjutsu is to first cast the ninjutsu and then seal it, like with explosive tags."

Minato's brain started working quickly. This was a field that no one before him seemed to have ventured into. Tatsuma smiled and said, "Actually, there are many things we can refer to, such as various barrier techniques and summoning techniques."

The essence of sealing techniques or Flying Thunder God Techniques is to first leave the technique formula, and then use chakra to activate a certain technique. Mito's grandmother also taught us how to use the Four Symbols Seal and the Bagua Seal, which is a combination of two layers of Four Symbols Seals.

These are all theoretical guidelines for the standardization of the Rasengan technique. Moreover, the standardization of the Rasengan has a huge advantage: standardization. There's no need to worry about errors in chakra control causing the Rasengan to go out of control.

After being "swayed" by Tatsuma, Minato suddenly felt that this method had great potential. He nodded vigorously and said, "I will study it carefully."

"There's no rush. You can take your time to think it over, or improve it little by little. I have faith in you. I won't disturb your evening anymore; I'll be going now."

As he spoke, Tatsuma exhausted the last of his Sage Chakra, and the Sage Mask on his face disappeared. He waved his hand, about to leave, when Minato quickly said:

"I told the Hokage that you paid a heavy price to extract the Nine-Tails' chakra and need to recuperate, so..."

"Don't worry, with my expertise in medical ninjutsu and my breakthrough research in self-healing, if I can't regain my freedom of movement in half a day, then the Third Hokage should consider whether I'm so injured that I have to end my ninja career."

Tatsuma's Yin Healing and Destruction Technique has been handed over to the village. Hiruzen Sarutobi may not be able to learn it, nor may he bother to learn it, but he can still learn it by looking at the overview.

Given the healing effect of Yin, if Tatsuma's injury lasts too long, then it should be compared to the time he was injured by the Third Raikage, A.

That incident almost cost Tatsuma his life. Although the greater price made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel that he had paid a higher price, it could also arouse Hiruzen Sarutobi's sympathy.

Then, under the pretext of doing what was best for him, they refused to let him leave the village to carry out his mission.

Upon hearing this, Minato quickly understood Tatsuma's meaning. He nodded and said, "Then I won't stop you. Be careful. You can arrange the preliminary work for the mission for me at any time."

"Don't worry, I won't be that polite to you. If I need your help, I will definitely ask you to help."

Tatsuma smiled and waved, a flash of silver light appearing before he disappeared. Minato, meanwhile, looked at the center of the whirlpool not far away, thought for a moment, and made a decision.

"Since the teacher is also in the village, I might as well ask him for advice first."
