Chapter 18: Uzumaki Sealing Technique

""The Uzumaki Sealing Technique!!""

Both Tsunade and Kuna seemed shocked to learn that is what he would be teaching them, and for good reason as well.

The Uzumaki Sealing Technique is not just one single seal or even a group of seals, but instead, a language of kanji created or found by early members of the clan to use Fuinjutsu. It is unknown if the Uzumaki were the creators of the language or if they simply found it. Most can't understand the language or the principles in which it functions, with them instead focusing on the known combinations that were discovered by trial and error to manipulate the kanji into performing feats such as manipulating space or utilizing Yin and Yang without the releases to turn physical entities into beings who exist only in the mindscape. That is the reason why knowledge is viewed as power in Fuinjutsu, because those who understand more of what the kanji actually means and have the ability to use it functionally could theoretically achieve almost anything.

Only those who have royal blood in them from the clan usually learn the technique, and even then very few are able to get over the first hurdle, and even less than that able to partially learn it for use in battle.

That is why Mito, someone who can use seals in the midst of battle, or Ashina, who has a vast knowledge of sealing, are so terrifying. It means they have achieved a level of partial understanding of that language.

Tsunade was particularly excited to learn the technique as the more of the language she learned, the more terrifying she could be.

While it doesn't give an increase in her physical strength, the ability to have more options when fighting would benefit her greatly, and even the supplementary abilities she gains would be problematic for her opponents.

"The first thing I will teach you is the Sealing Technique: Four Limbs Weighting Seal. It is a derivative of the Uzumaki Sealing Technique: Gravitational Increase, otherwise known as the gravity seal. we mostly only use that seal for high-intensity levels of Taijutsu training for shinobi since its starting weight is 10 times your normal weight. The Four Limbs Weighting Seal, on the other hand, is used for lower intensity since it can be used on each limb and only goes up to 2.5 times your normal weight. For Kuna, I'm teaching you this seal to use right away so that you may increase your physical capacities, while for Tsunade, you are not to use it until you start the academy so that you can allow your body to develop to a point you wouldn't destroy it by using it. I've brought these beads for you to apply the seals onto." Ashina said.

However, Kuna seemed to have questions about this as she asked "Why can't we simply apply the seals directly on our bodies? Wouldn't that make the training more efficient?"

"Because using a seal on flesh would scar it as well as cause discomfort to the person you applied it to, that is why we only use the seals on clothing or other objects." Ashina responded.

The two then spent the entirety of the day attempting to learn the seal, but even Tsunade had to try her best as the technique was easily more difficult than anything she had learned before. It took her until the sun was set just to complete the seal.

She then grabbed the beads and activated the seal and watched as the rock she put the beads on crumbled due to the weight.

Ashina then told Kuna to go to their home since the day had ended, while he walked Tsunade to their home.

The walk was mostly quiet with both enjoying the warm atmosphere around the village as they lit candles and lanterns to keep light.

However, Tsunade couldn't help but say something about the village with her knowledge of its future demise.

"Why don't you move to Konoha, Uncle Ashina?" she asked.

"And why would I need to do that, Tsuna?" Ashina asked curiously while expecting a child-like answer.

"To protect your family." Tsunade said in a firm but an immature voice. However, that sentence stunned Ashina as he understood the implications of her sentence.

'Perhaps I should reconsider moving the clan to Konoha, but to think I could get such an answer from a three-year-old.' Ashina thought while looking at Tsunade in a new light.

The two then made it to the house where Tsunade gave him a hug and said "See you tomorrow, Uncle Ashina." as she went into her house.

Ashina simply remained standing there as he thought about his village and his daughter.
