Chapter 63 Good Brothers (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

On Sunday evening, Muzuki mentioned that he had mastered One-Finger Sealing while preparing dinner.

“You’ve already mastered it? Let me see, it’s exactly seven days!”

Kushina counted on her fingers and found that Muzuki had learned it in exactly seven days.

“Learning it in seven days means you have a very good talent for Sealing Technique, Muzuki,” Kushina said with a smile, happy for Muzuki.

With such a talent for Sealing Technique, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to be promoted to Special Jonin if he continued to study.

“I actually think the main reason I learned it so quickly is because Minato-sensei and Kushina-sensei, you both taught so well,” Muzuki said with a smile as he placed the dishes on the dining table.

This was a bit of give and take; earlier, Minato and Kushina had jokingly called him Muzuki-sensei.

“Hehe, of course! Minato’s Sealing Technique was all taught by me, hand in hand,” Kushina said proudly.

After her relationship with Minato improved, Kushina wanted Minato to become stronger, so she often dragged him to practice Sealing Technique together.

Under her careful guidance, Minato had already become a master of Sealing Technique, having mastered many advanced Sealing Techniques.

“Maybe I’m really suited to be a teacher,” Kushina thought she might have a talent for teaching.

She had only taught Sealing Technique to two people: Minato and Muzuki. Minato had already become a master of Sealing Technique, and Muzuki had learned One-Finger Sealing in a week.

“Kushina-sensei, enough talk, let’s eat,” Minato said teasingly as he served Kushina her rice.

“Student Minato, who told you to speak to your teacher like that? Your punishment is to serve your teacher some dishes,” Kushina said, imitating the tone of Ninja Academy teachers from the past.

“Alright, alright,” Minato showed a helpless smile, playing along with Kushina’s act, and served her some dishes.

Muzuki, standing nearby, felt a subtle emotion. Even though it was his home, he felt like taking his bowl and eating outside.

“If you two keep this up, I’m going to eat all the food,” Muzuki immediately switched to ‘eating machine’ mode, devouring his food rapidly.

He quickly picked up dishes, put them into his mouth with rice, and repeated the action constantly.

“Hey!” Seeing the dishes on the plate gradually decrease, Kushina and Minato no longer had time to continue their role-playing and began to eat immersively.

Soon, the three of them finished all the dishes on the table, and then Kushina and Minato went to wash the dishes.

Since they frequently ate at his place, they usually helped Muzuki with other chores, such as washing vegetables and dishes. Muzuki would also help when he ate at their place.

After washing the dishes, Kushina told Muzuki to familiarize himself further with One-Finger Sealing and the Sealing Technique knowledge on the scrolls; she would teach him Three-Finger Sealing in a few days.

“Three-Finger Sealing is an advanced version of One-Finger Sealing. With your talent, you should be able to learn it in about a month,” Kushina said.

“Are there Four-Finger Sealing and Five Fingers Seal above it?” Muzuki felt the names were a bit rough.

“There’s no Four-Finger Sealing, only Five Fingers Seal,” Kushina replied.

There really was.

“If you can master Five Fingers Seal, learning most Sealing Techniques will not be difficult, and Five Fingers Seal itself is also part of a certain advanced Sealing Technique,” Kushina explained.

With Kushina’s explanation, Muzuki understood the significance of Sealing Techniques like One-Finger Sealing and Three-Finger Sealing.

“What do you two want to eat tomorrow? I’ll prepare the ingredients in advance,” Muzuki asked.

Although they were already very familiar, Kushina and Minato teaching him Sealing Technique meant he should show some appreciation.

“Braised pork belly,” Kushina immediately replied.

“Stir-fried mushrooms,” Minato thought for a moment before answering.

Kushina’s answer was within his expectation. As for Minato, Muzuki felt he needed to remind him that mushrooms must be cooked thoroughly, and also to leave a Flying Thunder God Mark at Konoha Hospital.

… … … …

On Monday, Kotetsu Hagane arrived at the school early.

He skillfully placed his novel on the desk and began to read. This was the last week; next Monday, the final exams would be held directly, and after three days of exams, they would have a holiday.

When it was almost time for Izumo Kamizuki to arrive, Kotetsu Hagane put away his book and opened his novel.

“Kotetsu, good morning,” Izumo Kamizuki greeted Kotetsu Hagane with a smile.

“Reading a novel again?” Izumo Kamizuki looked at the book on Kotetsu Hagane’s desk and, confirming it was a novel, breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s right. There’s only one week until the exam. Studying now is meaningless and will only make me anxious. It’s better to relax,” Kotetsu Hagane replied with a smile.

“By the way, Izumo, I recently discovered a great game. Come take a look and see if you like it,” Kotetsu Hagane said, pulling out a square iron box from his bag.

This was a popular game called Backgammon that he had heard about through various inquiries. It was said to be very addictive; playing one round would make you want to play another.

Izumo Kamizuki liked playing games, so he should play this excellent game fiercely for a week.

“Backgammon, huh? I played this once at a relative’s house, and it was so much fun! Kotetsu, you’re too loyal,” Izumo Kamizuki was very touched.

He hadn’t expected Kotetsu Hagane to remember the lie he told earlier to cover up his studying, which made Izumo Kamizuki feel a little guilty.

Kotetsu Hagane treated him so well, how could he…

“I recently bought a lot of good-looking Ninja novels, and I can’t even finish them all. I’ll give you three, Kotetsu,” Izumo Kamizuki said with a smile, taking out the novels and handing them to Kotetsu Hagane.

Brotherhood was good, but he wanted to win the heart of his neighbor’s younger sister more.

Since he liked reading novels, then he should read novels for a week. Anyway, Kotetsu Hagane himself said he wanted to relax for a week.

“These are all recently popular novels, Izumo, you…” Looking at the novels Izumo Kamizuki handed him with a smile, Kotetsu Hagane was very moved.

His usual disguise had actually been taken seriously by Izumo Kamizuki, who even used such a clumsy excuse to give him a gift.

There was no such thing as not being able to finish novels; good novels only made you feel there were never enough.

“I’ve recently collected various games, Izumo, take these,” Kotetsu Hagane, worried that one game of Backgammon wouldn’t be enough, handed a piece of paper to Izumo Kamizuki.

The paper listed more than a dozen games, both indoor and outdoor, with the main goal being completeness.

“For Mihui, I’m sorry, Izumo,” Kotetsu Hagane apologized internally.

“Shisui, do you want to take a novel to relax? I see you studying every day looks tiring, and I have so many here that I can’t finish them all at once,” Kotetsu Hagane asked Shisui, who was behind him.

“I can also share my games,” Izumo Kamizuki quickly added.

However, to their regret, Shisui shook his head and politely declined.

“Are you two still good brothers or not? You ask Shisui but not me, huh?” Anko Akimichi glared at them with her hands on her hips.

Kotetsu Hagane, Izumo Kamizuki: … …

They were afraid that if Anko Akimichi continued like this, her grades would be even lower than last time.

“Uh, Anko, maybe you should review,” Kotetsu Hagane couldn’t help but say.

Anko Akimichi posed no threat to him; he was more worried that Anko Akimichi would do too poorly on the exam.

“Why review? Didn’t you say it’s better not to review? Did you review?” Anko Akimichi asked in confusion.

Kotetsu Hagane naturally didn’t dare to admit it and simply shook his head.

“Then, Izumo, did you review?” Anko Akimichi asked again.

“No,” Izumo Kamizuki also shook his head.

“There you go then,” Anko Akimichi nodded in satisfaction.

Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane exchanged glances, and finally, as Anko Akimichi wished, they shared their novels and games with her.

“Good brothers should be like this,” Anko Akimichi patted their shoulders and smiled happily.
