Chapter 93 Five Elements Seal and Contract Seal (45)

Flame Breathing can actually enhance the power of Fire Release!

The Hokage version of Flame Breathing can also enhance physical abilities, but this isn’t its primary function; its main purpose is to strengthen Fire Release.

Beginners of Flame Breathing can use Total Concentration Breathing to instantly increase the speed of Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation, enhancing the power of flames.

After mastering Flame Breathing, one can enter the Constant State, making the accelerated Nature Transformation and enhanced flame power permanent, while also possessing even stronger burst power.

The Mark Mode after complete mastery is even more terrifying, allowing for the instantaneous and unhindered conversion of all Chakra into flames. All Fire Release Ninjutsu can be cast instantly without hand seals, greatly enhancing the power of the flames.

After the system’s modification, Flame Breathing has little relation to the original Demon Slayer version. It doesn’t require a sword and can be considered a Fire Release Chakra Mode.

In Hokage, there are many types of Chakra Mode. The more common and practical ones are Sage Mode. If one is a Jinchuriki, they might have the opportunity to master Tailed Beast Chakra Mode, and there’s also Kumogakure’s Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Muzuki even thinks Susanoo can be considered a type of Chakra Mode, a Mangekyo-exclusive Chakra Mode.

Some Chakra Modes can even be stacked. Muzuki couldn’t imagine how powerful Fire Release would become if Sage Mode and Flame Breathing Mark Mode were used together.

Although the reward wasn’t the Moonwalk he imagined, Muzuki was very satisfied.

The localized Flame Breathing is very powerful. It not only enhances his own strength but is also suitable for his disciples to cultivate.

Shisui and Obito’s main offensive Ninjutsu are currently Fire Release, so Flame Breathing is very suitable for both of them.

During dinner in the evening, Muzuki told Kushina that he had successfully mastered the Three-Finger Sealing.

“You’ve already mastered it,” Kushina said with emotion as she ate a mouthful of food. “A month passed quite quickly.”

“Not a month, it was twenty-seven days,” Minato corrected him.

He remembered when Kushina gave Muzuki the Three-Finger Sealing. After counting the days, he found that Muzuki’s cultivation speed was a few days faster than Kushina had initially expected.

“Twenty-seven days is almost a month anyway. I can’t predict the future, so it’s impossible to be 100% accurate,” Kushina said, waving her hand.

“But being able to complete it earlier than I predicted shows that your Sealing Technique talent, Muzuki, is truly excellent,” Kushina praised.

“It just so happens that I’ve also finished writing down my insights on cultivating Sealing Technique recently. After dinner, I’ll give you both my insights and the Sealing Technique you’ll be cultivating next.”

“I also wrote down some of my insights from practicing Sealing Technique. They might not be as professional as Kushina’s, but they should still be helpful to you,” Minato said.

Although his Sealing Technique was entirely taught by Kushina, everyone has different ideas when learning, and Minato felt his insights should also be able to help Muzuki.

“Thank you, Kushina-sensei and Minato-sensei,” Muzuki said gratefully.

“Then make us something delicious to taste!” Kushina said with a big laugh.

Although she felt she hadn’t worked that hard, since Muzuki said it, it would be a waste not to take advantage of this good opportunity.

“Can you eat spicy food?” Muzuki asked after thinking for a moment.

When he taught Kushina and Minato how to cook before, he had a burst of Magical Mapo Tofu. If he remembered correctly, it was a recipe from Little Chef, so the taste shouldn’t be bad.

“No problem, Muzuki, just make it,” Kushina replied.

“It’s alright, I can accept it,” Minato said after thinking.

They thought, how spicy could one dish be? At worst, they just wouldn’t eat the chili peppers.

“Then it’s no problem. Tomorrow night, I’ll make you a dish so delicious it glows!” Muzuki said with a smile.

“When food glows, I just suspect if something strange was added to it,” Kushina retorted.

“Does food really glow when it’s exquisitely delicious?” Minato, on the other hand, seriously pondered this question.

He remembered that the fried rice Muzuki made before seemed to be faintly glowing.

After dinner, Kushina and Minato returned home, brought their cultivation insights, and re-entered Muzuki’s room.

The two handed the scrolls to Muzuki, who took them and thanked them again.

“The Sealing Technique scroll contains a total of three Sealing Techniques. Besides the Five Fingers Seal and its corresponding advanced Sealing Technique, there’s also a Contract Seal. That should be enough for you to cultivate for a year,” Kushina said.

“They sound very difficult. I’ll probably have to ask you two questions often,” Muzuki said with a smile after putting the scrolls away.

“Ask away. It might not be simple for you, but these are things I’m very familiar with,” Kushina said confidently.

After Kushina and Minato left, Muzuki took the Sealing Technique scrolls to the second floor and began studying.

Opening the Sealing Technique scroll, Muzuki realized that the advanced Ninjutsu corresponding to the Five Fingers Seal was actually the Five Elements Seal.

Muzuki thought to himself that Kushina was indeed generous and trusted his talent enough to give him even a high-level Sealing Technique like the Five Elements Seal directly.

Having studied Sealing Technique for some time, he also knew what a Sealing Technique of the Five Elements Seal’s level represented: an extremely difficult Sealing Technique that even Jonin skilled in Sealing Technique might not be able to master.

Muzuki felt that the Five Fingers Seal probably existed to reduce the difficulty of learning the Five Elements Seal.

Muzuki glanced at the Contract Seal and found it quite interesting. The Contract Seal can sever the contractual relationship between the caster and their Nin-Beast, causing the caster to lose control over Summoning Jutsu and be unable to summon them again.

Since it can sever contractual relationships, if improved, couldn’t it also sever other relationships?

Muzuki had always speculated that the Tongue Cutting Seal might have an active activation function. Given Danzo’s caution, this was not impossible.

If he could sever the relationship between the Tongue Cutting Seal and Danzo, its caster, then the threat of the Tongue Cutting Seal to him would be greatly reduced.

Because the Tongue Cutting Seal’s trigger condition is to speak Danzo’s and Root’s secrets, it will never trigger as long as he doesn’t say them.

“First learn the Five Fingers Seal, then the Five Elements Seal and Contract Seal. Strive to finish them in a month,” Muzuki thought to himself.

He still had two Ninjutsu Proficiency Scrolls, which could directly elevate beginner Ninjutsu to the proficient level. He planned to use them on the Five Elements Seal and Contract Seal.

Once those two Sealing Techniques reached the proficient level, they would also provide him with more Sealing Technique knowledge.

…

Monday afternoon, Muzuki began the practical combat test.

By now, the summer special training students had been studying for two weeks and had all made some progress.

The practical combat test rules were basically consistent with the Ninja Academy’s practical combat exam rules, both involving random draws to determine opponents.

Chapter five is still being written, more to come later, but it will be quite late.
