Sealing Jutsu Sensei

"Doing it, I am doing it."

In response to Kushina, who was still hanging in midair, Natsuhiko just waved his hand and replied casually.

At this moment, he held a wooden carving in his hand, earnestly analyzing the runic technique formula depicted on it.

Details determine success or failure.

In order to completely dispel suspicion, Natsuhiko naturally couldn't show that he was very familiar with this trap. So, after finding the wooden carving used to set the trap, he could only pretend to study it for a long time, taking a break to introduce himself to Kushina.

"Again with this phrase!"

"Obviously, we agreed to use the trap for only a few minutes, but after some minutes, and then somewhat more minutes, it's been almost ten minutes, Natsuhiko sensei."

Kushina grumbled with a bitter expression.

"Did you really come from in**** of her?Uzumaki Naruto?"

Natsuhiko silently complained to himself.

He estimated that the time was about right and decided it was time to rescue the poor Kushina.

So, Natsuhiko, touched the runes depicted on the wooden carving and muttered:

"This array design is quite complex. Once the trap is activated, it doesn't need these wooden carvings to support it. Therefore, it's not as simple as breaking the carvings to disable the array."

"What should we do then?" Kushina anxiously danced in midair like a cocoon.

"Don't worry, I've roughly figured out this array," Natsuhiko said confidently.

"This Sealing Jutsu array incorporates parts of the Sealed Binding Formation into a series of arrays. It also includes some ideas from the "reverse chakra strengthening"(uses the trapped individual's chakra…). Essentially, it's a two-stage array trap. Its main feature is that, in addition to the basic immobilisation effect, the runic technique formula will use the opponent's chakra to generate ropes, strengthening the binding force..."

As he spoke, he looked at the tightly bound Kushina with a strange expression.

How much chakra did she feed into this array to be tied up like this?

Feeling uneasy under Natsuhiko's gaze, Kushina recalled her recent ordeal and said awkwardly:

"No wonder this trap initially just immobilized me. When I tried to refine chakra to break through the array, those runic technique formulas turned into ropes and bound me."

Natsuhiko shook his head inwardly, somewhat speechless.

Sealing Jutsu is originally a means of using the weak to defeat the strong, specifically designed to deal with formidable opponents. If you can defeat them, just cut them down with a sword; why keep them as a boss for a sequel?

Especially since the runes used in Sealing Jutsu are essentially a programming language for chakra, Sealing Jutsu is particularly adept at dealing with opponents with massive chakra reserves.

Sealing Jutsu's most reliable thing is to tell those who think they have a lot of chakra that they don't mean shit*!

So, breaking through with your chakra alone?Kushina chan it is not that easy.

If it were that simple, the Tailed Beasts with countless chakra reserves wouldn't have been sealed inside Jinchuriki to this day.

Miss, are you sure you're from the Uzumaki Clan, proficient in Sealing Jutsu? Otherwise, how do you not understand this basic principle?

Actually, Natsuhiko found it a bit strange just now.

The Uzumaki Kushina in his impression should be quite skilled in Sealing Jutsu. How come she can't even decipher the trap he casually set up?

Now he realised that the Kushina in his mind is the shinobi from several years later, and the current one is still in the growing stage, not even a Jinchuriki yet.

Moreover, this free-spirited Kushina doesn't quite match with the meticulous thinkers required for Sealing Jutsu. It's like asking Uchiha Itachi to use the Thousand Years of Death - a bit out of place.

Perhaps, after Mito's death and becoming a Jinchuriki herself, Kushina will be able to settle down and earnestly study Sealing Jutsu after these significant changes. Plus, she'll eventually grow into the Sealing Jutsu Master that Natsuhiko remembers.

Be that as it may.

Don't be fooled by my criticism of Kushina's current Sealing Jutsu level; he's comparing her to her future achievements.

So, in reality, her current level is not bad.

At least, after listening to Natsuhiko's explanation, she quickly grasped the intricacies of this trap.

"What a genius-like design. I don't feel too embarrassed about losing this time," Kushina finally showed a relieved expression, feeling a bit less embarrassed.

If the embarrassment level just now was 100 points, the current embarrassment level would be... 90 points.

Crash! Still quite embarrassing!

Hearing the future Sealing Jutsu Master Kushina praise him, Natsuhiko's mouth unconsciously curved upward.

But he quickly realized it and hastily raised the wooden carving to cover his face.

Then he heard Kushina sigh, "Unfortunately, the designer of this array died too early. Heaven is jealous of heroic geniuses..."

"..."

Natsuhiko put down the wooden carving again.

I almost forgot that I had just shifted the blame to the deceased previous sensei.

To prevent Kushina from continuing to mourn for herself, Natsuhiko quickly proposed a plan to lift the trap.

"I already have a plan. You can try to condense your chakra now, try not to let those runic technique formulas absorb it. Then, I'll try to cut them from the outside."

As the caster of this array, Natsuhiko naturally had a simpler way to lift the trap.

But for the sake of continuing the performance, he decided to go all out.

To avoid revealing any loopholes, Natsuhiko chose a more straightforward method to dismantle this array.

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

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

With Kushina's movements, the runic ropes binding her began to dim, showing signs of loosening.

"It really works! I really didn't expect that?"

Kushina, sensing the change in the ropes around her, suddenly beamed with joy, happy about the imminent escape.

Natsuhiko chuckled inwardly.

As the saying goes, when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Ninjas are accustomed to solving all problems with chakra from an early age, and they have developed a path dependency on it.

At a critical moment when trapped by a trap, even if they think of the method of condensing chakra, it's challenging for them to make a firm resolution to do so.

After all, without chakra to enhance their limbs, a ninja is no different from an ordinary person.

If this method doesn't work, it might even lead to death.

And that's the most insidious part of the two-stage binding array designed by Natsuhiko.

As time passed, the runic ropes, unable to absorb chakra, began to contract and thin.

"Excuse me."

To save time, after obtaining Kushina's consent, Natsuhiko extended a chakra-condensed sword finger, ready to cut the runic ropes entwined around her directly.

At that moment, a very familiar loud voice echoed from outside the door.

"Natsuhiko, Kushina, are you two getting along well?"

"!!!???"
