Konoha: The seal art teacher of the ninja school

"It's being done, it's being done."

Regarding Kushina's question, which was still hanging in the air, Natsuhiko just waved his hand and replied casually.

At this time, he was holding a wooden sculpture in his hand, and he was analyzing the runes and spells carved on it with concentration on his face.

details make a difference.

In order to completely get rid of his own suspicion, Xia Yan naturally couldn't show that he was very familiar with this trap.

Therefore, after he found the wood carving for setting up the trap, he could only pretend to hold it in his hand and study it for a long time. In the meantime, he took the time to introduce himself to Kushina.

"Those words again!" Kushina muttered with a look of resentment.

"It was clearly promised that it would only take three minutes, but after three minutes and another three minutes, and after three minutes and another three minutes, it's already almost ten minutes, Teacher Xia Yan."

Where are you from, Uzumaki Nagahito?

Xia Yan complained in his heart.

He estimated that the heat was almost over and decided it was time to rescue poor Kushina.

So Xia Yan touched the runes carved on the wood carving and muttered:

"The design of this magic circle is quite clever. Once the trap is formed, there is no need to rely on these wooden carvings to maintain it. Therefore, this magic circle cannot be cracked simply by destroying them."

"What should we do?" Kushina was so anxious that she was jumping in the air like a chrysalis.

"Don't worry, I have roughly understood this formation." Xia Yan said confidently.

"This sealing magic circle integrates part of the sealing magic circle into a series of light arrays, and also adds some ideas of the designer. It is essentially a two-stage magic circle trap. Its biggest feature is that in addition to the basic fixed

In addition to the physical effects, the rune spells will also use the opponent's chakra to generate ropes to strengthen the binding force..."

As he spoke, he looked at Kushina, who was tightly bound by the rune rope, with strange eyes.

How much chakra did she feed into this magic circle to be tied like this?

Kushina was a little uncomfortable being looked at by Natsu Yan. Recalling what she had just experienced, she said with a sarcastic expression:

"No wonder this trap only locked my body at first. When I tried to refine chakra to break through the magic circle, those runes turned into ropes and tied me up."

Xia Yan shook his head secretly and was speechless.

The sealing technique was originally used to defeat the strong with the weak, and was specially used to deal with those strong enemies that cannot be defeated.

After all, if you can defeat him, then you can simply kill him with a knife, or else you can still be the boss and wait for the sequel?

Especially because the runes used in the sealing technique are essentially a programming language for chakra, the sealing technique is particularly good at dealing with opponents who have a huge amount of chakra.

My favorite thing about sealing is saying no to people who think they have a lot of chakra!

So it's not that easy for you, Kushina, to break through with your own chakra alone.

If only it were that simple.

Those tailed beasts with unknown amounts of chakra would not still be sealed in the Jinchūriki's body.

This lady, are you sure you belong to the Uzumaki clan who are proficient in sealing techniques?

Otherwise, why don’t you even understand this truth?

In fact, Xia Yan felt a little strange just now.

In his impression, Uzumaki Kushina's sealing technique should be quite good, so why can't she break the trap that she randomly arranged?

Looking at it now, it can only be said that the Kushina in his impression is the complete body several years later, and the current one is just a growth stage that has not even become a Jinchuuriki.

Moreover, Kushina, who is extravagant by nature, is actually not well suited to the style of sealing that requires careful thinking.

It's as inconsistent as asking Itachi Uchiha to play Millennium Killing.

I'm afraid that at this time, Kushina has not yet focused all her attention on the sealing technique, so her attainments are not deep.

Perhaps she had to wait until Mito died and became a jinchūriki. After these great changes, Kushina could calm down and study the sealing technique seriously.

Coupled with the fact that she was able to communicate with the genius Minato Namikaze later on, Kushina was finally able to grow into the sealing master that Natsuhiko remembered.

Having said that.

Although Natsuhiko criticized Kushina's current level of sealing skills as worthless, the comparison was with her future achievements.

So actually her current level is not bad either.

At least after listening to Xia Yan's explanation, he could quickly understand the subtleties of this trap.

"What a genius design. I won't lose unfairly this time."

Kushina finally showed a look of relief, feeling that she was not so embarrassed.

If the degree of shame just now was 100 points, then the degree of shame now is only... 90 points.

Fall! It’s really embarrassing!

When Xia Yan heard the future sealing master Kushina praising him, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

But he reacted quickly and quickly raised the wooden sculpture to cover his face.

As a result, I heard Kushina sigh again: "It's a pity that the designer of this magic circle died too early. I am so jealous of the talent..."

"..."

Xia Yan put down the wood carving again.

I almost forgot that I just dumped the blame on the previous teacher who died.

In order to prevent Kushina from continuing to mourn him, Natsuhiko quickly proposed a plan to remove this trap.

"I already have an idea. Now you can try to restrain the chakra and try not to be absorbed by those runic spells. Then I will try to cut them off outside."

In fact, as the caster of this magic circle, Xia Yan naturally has a simpler way to remove it.

But do a full set of acting.

In order not to reveal any flaws, Xia Yan decided to use a more crude method to crack the magic circle.

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Kushina agreed, then closed her eyes.

She began to concentrate on controlling the flow of chakra in her body, condensing it into a point and hiding it in the deepest part of her body.

Following Kushina's actions, the rune ropes binding her began to dim and gradually showed signs of loosening.

"It really works! Why didn't I think of it just now?"

Kushina noticed the change in the rope around her body, and immediately smiled, feeling happy that she was about to be out of trouble.

Xia Yan smiled secretly in his heart.

As the saying goes, if you hold a hammer in your hand, everything looks like a nail.

Ninjas have been accustomed to using chakra to solve all problems since they were young, and they have long developed a path dependence on chakra.

At the critical moment of being trapped in a trap, even if they think of a way to converge chakra, it would be difficult for them to make up their mind to do so.

After all, without chakra amplification in the limbs of the body, ninjas would be no different from ordinary people.

If this method does not work, you may die.

And this is also the most insidious part of the two-stage restraint circle designed by Xia Yan.

As time goes by, the rune ropes that cannot absorb chakra begin to shrink and become thinner.

"Offended."

In order to save time, after getting Kushina's consent, Natsuhiko stretched out his sword fingers condensed with chakra, preparing to cut off the rune ropes wrapped around her body.

At this moment, Xia Yan's very familiar loud voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Natsuhiko, Kushina, do you two get along well?"

"!!!"
