Konoha: The seal art teacher of the ninja school

In the sealing arts teacher's office.

Natsuhiko, who was about to give a question to see Kushina's level, said to her:

"It will take a while to work out the questions. Just find a place to sit down. By the way, do you want something to drink? Can you drink juice?"

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

Kushina nodded quickly.

She had been hung in the air for a long time, and she was actually so thirsty that her throat was almost smoking, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

Now that Natsuhiko took the initiative, Kushina naturally did not refuse.

But then she touched her hair and added.

"As long as it's not tomato juice."

"..."

Hey, Kushina-san, don't hold a grudge just because you were called "tomato" before!

In this way, wouldn’t you be able to eat famous dishes such as tomato scrambled eggs, tomato beef brisket, and tomatoes fried tomatoes?

Is a tomato considered a fruit?

Xia Yan secretly cursed in his heart, but agreed with his mouth.

"No problem, just tomato juice, right?"

After speaking, he stretched his left hand forward and made a strange gesture.

With a slight clatter, a card ejected from his cuff and was caught between his index and middle fingers.

Kushina looked at the card in Natsuhiko's hand curiously.

You can see that there are dense runes drawn on the card, and there is also a big "melon" written on the central circular blank space on one side.

Xia Yan then placed the card on the table and made a seal with his right hand.

The next moment, a small cloud of white smoke exploded with a "pop" sound on the card.

After the white smoke dissipated, what appeared on the table were two glasses of red drinks, with cold air rising from the lips.

"Chilled watermelon juice."

After a fierce operation, Xia Yan finally produced two cups of watermelon juice.

"..."

Kushina's mouth opened slightly, and she didn't know what she was saying for a moment.

At this time, her inner thoughts were repeatedly jumping between "That's it?" and "That's awesome!"

It's obvious at first glance that a very sophisticated technique was used, but the effect presented is so down-to-earth.

I always feel a subtle sense of gap.

If Umino Ikkaku heard Kushina's voice, she would definitely feel the same way.

He had the same feeling when he saw Xia Yan using the barrier technique as an umbrella before.

Natsuhiko didn't notice Kushina's strange expression and began to explain to himself:

"When I was doing missions outside, I liked to collect unique local things wherever I went."

"This is actually watermelon juice sold in a tea and fruit shop in Damingfu. The tea and fruit there are too sweet and I don't like it. But the juice they sell is quite to my liking, so I packed a lot when I left."

Seeing Kushina looking blankly at the two glasses of watermelon juice, Natsuhiko added another sentence.

"Because it's sealed with a sealing technique, you don't have to worry about it going bad. You can drink it with confidence."

After saying that, Xia Yan picked up a glass of watermelon juice and took a sip, then sat down in his seat and began to look for a pen and paper, preparing to give Kushina a few questions on the spot.

Seeing this, Kushina also held another glass of watermelon juice and drank it.

The sweet and delicious red juice slid into her burning throat, making her feel a chill all over her body. The fatigue just now was swept away, and she felt so comfortable that she couldn't help but burp.

Kushina, who quickly came to her senses, blushed slightly and glanced at Natsuhiko guiltily.

I found that the other party was concentrating on the question and didn't notice the gaffe I just made, so I breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Little did he know that Xia Yan, who was immersed in answering the question, had the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Kushina then curiously looked at the blank card on the table, without much surprise in her eyes.

Although the shape and style are a little different, this card is essentially a sealing scroll, so she will naturally be familiar with it.

However, it is still quite difficult to make the seal scroll so compact.

As expected, this teacher Xia Yan is also very powerful.

He is really on par with the previous sealing teacher who could lay out a two-stage restraint trap!

Are all the sealing arts teachers at the ninja school monsters?

And he's about the same age as me.

Kushina felt slightly frustrated.

Is Natsuhiko really the genius of the sealing technique that Grandma Mito said?

Although she was a little frustrated, Kushina quickly adjusted her mentality.

She is actually not very interested in the sealing technique, she only learned it because of the mission she has undertaken.

So she doesn't have much competition with Xia Yan.

Kushina was actually more interested in Natsu Yan's experience than Natsu Yan's sealing skills.

After learning that Xia Yan had been to many places, she couldn't help showing envy on her face.

"That's great. I haven't been out much since I came to Konoha. I'm bored to death."

Because Kushina possesses a very special chakra among the Uzumaki clan and has strong suppression power against tailed beasts, she has always been regarded as the first candidate to serve as the second Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki in the future.

Therefore, even after graduating from the ninja school and becoming an official Konoha ninja, she could only wander around Konoha and could not stay away from Konoha.

Especially recently, Mito-sama, who was the first Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, has become physically weak, and Kushina is even banned in Konoha. At most, she is allowed to do some trivial D-level tasks in the village.

Kushina, who is extravagant by nature, naturally hates this.

Compared with this boring life, the once-ostracized ninja school life has been given a ten-level beauty filter and has become exciting and colorful.

At least then I could beat some little brats every day to pass the time.

So when she got a job opportunity as a teaching assistant, Kushina accepted it without hesitation.

Hearing Kushina's complaint, Natsuhiko responded casually while writing questions on the paper: "Then I am the opposite to you. I rarely go back to the village after graduation, but I feel a little nostalgic."

Following this topic, the two chatted casually.

Natsuhiko told Kushina some interesting things that happened during the mission, and Kushina told Natsuhiko what happened in the village in the past few years.

The two became slightly familiar with each other.

Not long after, Xia Yan handed out the test papers.

So he stood up and handed the test paper and pen to Kushina and said at the same time.

"The questions become more difficult as you go forward, so you don't have to force yourself to do them all. There is no time limit. Just let me know when you're done."

"OK."

Kushina drank the watermelon juice in one gulp, then sat up straight, picked up her pen and started reading the question.

The first question is a phonetic notation question. Mark the pronunciation of the runes drawn on the paper.

This is considered the basic skill of the sealing technique, and Kushina naturally solved it quickly.

Then the second question is a fill-in-the-blank question, where you fill in the blank runes based on the context of the runes.

The difficulty is indeed much higher than the first question.

However, Kushina, who had a professional background, recognized after a few glances that these runes and spells were intercepted from a series of lamp arrays, so she easily solved the problem.

After completing this question, Kushina's confidence began to increase greatly.

Judging from this trend, even if the difficulty of the subsequent questions increases, it should not be any more difficult.

Kushina encouraged herself.

"Yo Xi! I will definitely perform well and save my image."

Next, Kushina answered several questions quickly, with great success.

Even though the difficulty of the questions was gradually increasing, Kushina did not stop.

Until she saw a question.

[There are pheasants and rabbits in a cage today. There are thirty-five heads on top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. What are the pheasants and rabbits? 】

Kushina:(⊙_☉)?
