Konoha: The seal art teacher of the ninja school

Time goes back a little more than ten minutes.

Natsuhiko handed the paper to Kushina and saw her starting to answer the questions. He returned to his seat and took out the textbooks to prepare for tomorrow's class.

In the quiet office, all I could hear for a while was the rustling sound of writing.

After a few minutes, the rustling sound of pen writing began intermittently.

Then as time went by, the intervals between the sounds of writing became longer and longer.

After a while, the sound of writing was no longer heard at all.

Xia Yan looked up.

At this time, Kushina was seen leaning back on the chair, her hands hanging down, and her eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. Her whole body seemed to have lost its color, as if she had burned her life until it was as white as ashes.

It seems to have reached its limit.

"Already done?"

Xia Yan put down his textbook, got up and walked over.

"Wait a minute! I'm about to figure out how many chickens and how many rabbits there are."

Natsuhiko's words frightened Kushina, and she hurriedly lay down on the test paper, as if she was afraid that Natsuhiko would snatch the paper away.

It seems that it is stuck in the problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage.

Xia Yan was speechless: "Um...this question requires you to design your own rune formula to solve this problem. It's useless just to calculate the answer."

"It seems so..."

Only then did Kushina remember that this paper was about sealing techniques, not mathematics!

After realizing this fact, she felt sad for a moment, holding her head and yelling: "Then what did I do for a long time just now!"

…

After struggling for a moment, Kushina finally chose to give up.

After she handed the test paper to Xia Yan, she collapsed on the table like a deflated rubber ball.

Xia Yan smiled slightly and began to look through the entire test paper roughly.

He found that he could tell a lot of information from Kushina's handwriting without looking at the specific answers.

It can be seen that as the difficulty of the questions increases, Kushina's handwriting changes from confident and flowing at the beginning to hesitant strokes...

By the end, the handwriting had become crooked and difficult to read.

Xia Yan looked carefully for a long time before he saw the words between the words. There were two words written on the second half of the paper - No!

Now he probably understood Kushina's true level.

To put it simply, he has solid basic skills and knows all the basic techniques by heart, obviously he has put in a lot of hard work.

It's a pity that she only follows the instructions in application and rarely tries to design spells by herself, so she gets blindsided when asked to design a spell to solve a problem.

For example, the essence of the problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage is a linear equation of two variables, which is actually used in many sealing techniques.

If those problems are given to Kushina, she will definitely be able to solve them.

In the end, Natsuhiko just put clothes on it, and Kushina didn't recognize it.

Hey, why does this metaphor look familiar?

All in all, the test results were similar to what Xia Yan had guessed before.

It can be seen that Kushina has no enthusiasm for the sealing technique, but is forced to learn it because of her mission as a future Jinchuuriki.

Natsuhiko seemed to be able to see the little Kushina, under the supervision of Lord Mito, memorizing various runes and spells with a frown on her face.

"Did I do poorly in the exam?" Kushina asked with some anxiety.

Xia Yan stared at the paper for a long time, which made her feel guilty.

Xia Yan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You are already very good at your age. You have a good grasp of the basic knowledge. You have not fallen into some of the little traps I designed."

Although I fell into a big trap when I first came to the office.

Kushina felt relieved after hearing Natsuhiko's praise, and touched her head a little embarrassedly, but she quickly came to her senses.

Aren’t you Yusheng Xiayan about the same age as me?

It's very good for me to be like this, so won't you go to heaven?

Teacher Xia Yan, are you really not praising yourself in circles?

and……

Kushina was a little frustrated and said: "I don't know many of the following questions..."

"This is normal, because the following questions are no longer within the scope of normal sealing techniques." Xia Yan explained, "It is my own style."

"I personally think that runes should not be limited to sealing techniques, but can be used to solve more problems, whether in combat or in life."

"So the application questions at the back of the test paper are all life problems that require flexible use of runes to solve."

"I see……"

Kushina nodded as if she understood, but what she was thinking about was that it was a bullshit life problem like a chicken and a rabbit living in the same cage.

Before counting how many chickens and rabbits there are, shouldn't there be a more important question: Why are they kept together?

Naturally, Xia Yan didn't know what Kushina was thinking, and thought she couldn't understand it, so he simply suggested: "Just in time, I want to prepare teaching aids for the next class. If you come to help make them, you should be able to understand me a little bit.

That’s what it means.”

"Teaching aids?"

Kushina's eyes shone and she immediately became energetic.

"Is it related to the projection technique you used in your first class?"

After she came to school today, she heard everyone discussing the legendary first class, and she had long been curious about projection.

Not to mention that her position as a teaching assistant was temporarily added because Xia Yan's courses were too popular.

In response to Kushina's question, Xia Yan nodded and said:

"The use of this teaching aid does involve the principle of projection. However, although it is used to stimulate everyone's interest, the focus is somewhat different from the images I show to students in class."

As he spoke, he took out a storage card and placed it on the table to unseal it.

As white smoke exploded, a cardboard box filled with small pieces of paper and two strange-looking machines appeared.

Natsuhiko first took out a large stack of papers from the box and handed it to Kushina.

Kushina took it and took a look and found that it was somewhat similar to the storage card that Natsuhiko had used before.

However, the material of Xia Yan’s previous cards was very good, and they were quite valuable at first glance.

These cards are made of two pieces of paper glued together. One side is ordinary hard cardboard, and the other side is a kind of yellowed paper. The paper quality is very poor, which reminds her of similar things.

"This is... the talisman paper used for practicing drawing runes?" Kushina hesitated.

"That's right." Xia Yan nodded, not surprised that Kushina could guess it.

The paper used to make talismans and scrolls requires a lot of special materials in order to be able to conduct and carry chakra.

The more powerful spells you want to use with talismans and scrolls, the more precious materials you need to make them, and the higher the price.

For a newbie who has just started to learn the art of sealing, even if there is a mine at home, it is impossible to practice with ordinary talisman paper every time.

And ordinary paper cannot test whether the chakra is infused properly when constructing the rune formula.

So the ancients invented a kind of practice talisman paper.

The main materials of this kind of talisman paper are low-quality materials that can conduct chakra, but cannot carry too much chakra.

Its characteristic is that it can draw runic spells, but it cannot actually be used.

Because excessive chakra will destroy the entire rune before the spell is formed, causing the spell to fail.

Although it has no practical use, it is no problem to practice drawing runes. Of course, the most important thing is that it is cheap.

Xia Yan held a card and explained:

"This side is a talisman made of a special kind of rush from Imaki Village in the Land of Grass as the main material."

"Compared with ordinary practice talisman paper, this Iju paper is stronger and more durable, so I bought a lot of it, just to use it this time."

Kushina also curiously picked up a card and looked at it, and found that there was something printed on the side of the talisman paper.

You can see that in the box that takes up most of the paper, a basic rune spell is drawn, but it is incomplete and one or two key runes are missing.

Thinking of the question in the test paper just now, Kushina easily thought that this was also a fill-in-the-blank question.

Perhaps some function can be triggered by completing the runes.

Kushina couldn't help but think.

There are also some normal words printed in the rectangular box at the bottom of the paper.

But Kushina became more and more confused as she watched.

Because she knew every word above, but she couldn't understand them when they were put together.

I saw it said:

[The First Hokage·Senju Hashirama]

[Cost 7, attack power 7, health 10]

[The Birth of the Tree Realm: When it appears, change the field to "forest", and inflict 1 point of damage to all units on the opponent's field at the beginning of the round]

[Wood Clone: ​​Consume 4 health points and summon two Wood Clone (7/4/1) to the field]

[Introduction: The leader of the Senju Clan, who relied on the secret technique of wood escape to calm down the troubled times. Together with Madara Uchiha, he founded the Hidden Leaf Village and became the first Hokage.
