Chapter 67 - CHAPTER 67:The Four-Symbols Seal

"Yes, that's the name — but it has nothing to do with my past life. It's just a basic Lightning Release shinobi jutsu that instantly stimulates muscles and nerves for a burst of speed. You can only use it for one strike. It's a D-rank ninjutsu, simple but effective. The Hidden Mist Jutsu is also D-rank yet can be more useful in the right hands."

Tamura Hao regards the Thunder Flash Technique as part of Chidori: explosive speed joined to focused piercing power. At his current chakra reserves and lightning nature proficiency, he can't perform full Chidori yet — so he begins with speed enhancement.

The jutsu requires six seals, and Hao completes them in three seconds. With improved lightning nature, he could reduce it to just two seals, greatly enhancing strike speed.

He still lacks knowledge of Uzumaki sealing techniques, like the Yang Seal, which requires advanced chakra control. He plans to bring Uzumaki Yuye along on the mission to learn her sealing arts

After eight days crossing the sea, the six shinobi hide their ship in Whirlpool Country and sneak north into the Land of Fire. Whirlpool is in chaos—battlefields destroyed, bandits roaming. Yuye clenches her fists. This is her homeland. The war is to blame—but Uzumaki Tamae restrains her rage.

Using Tamae's Kagura Mind's Eye, they avoid chakra traces and slip past Konoha's patrols. They track the Jinlu River's upper reaches—hundreds of miles wide, even upstream spans stretching over a hundred miles in radius.

With only chakra-sensing by Kagura Mind's Eye, locating a sealed site is still a challenge. They painstakingly search for weeks—until Tamaya finally detects a strong chakra signature

They reach a wide tributary. Tamaya confirms, "That's definitely Senju clan chakra under the water."

Curious, Tamura Hao asks, "A sealing jutsu?"

Yuye peers at a half-moon riverbank. It must be a chakra-conserved seal. She steps forward. An ANBU shinobi executes Water Style to dive and retrieve a stone-encased corpse. Another uses Earth Style to clear debris—a stone corpse of a man wearing Senju armor.

Yuye confirms: "It's the Four-Symbols Seal (Shishōin). It merges body, earth, and agony—preserved eternally in stone."

Fukai steps closer. Tamae translates: "It sealed the man with earth and river sediment."

Tamura Hao, a little disappointed, asks, "Can we undo it?"

Tamae nods: "Yes. Over time it weakens, but with a proper ritual and enough chakra, we can accelerate the release."

She inscribes the ritual by hand-chakra, focusing on the seal's ritual array, grinning confidently. "I'm releasing the Four-Symbols Seal!"

Cracks run through the stone form. Mud, rocks, and water spew out—mixed with human forms.

Hao spots a girl in Senju-syle armor marked with the Sarutobi crest—still breathing, handcuffed and floating.

Fukai and the ANBU grip weapons, ready.

Tamura Hao signals, "Seal her chakra—no time to wait for her to wake. We're in the Land of Fire during wartime. If Konoha ninjas appear, we must leave immediately."

The girl's eyes snap open—Scarlet light flares. She screams:

👉 "Tsukuyomi!"
