After a satisfying meal, An Yan politely bid farewell to Mito Uzumaki and Tsunade. For a change, he didn't use chakra to leap across rooftops but instead walked home at a leisurely pace.
A walk after a meal keeps the doctor away.
Grandma Mito's cooking was delicious, much better than his own. An Yan's cooking was, at best, edible, but certainly not gourmet.
This era was not long after the Warring States Period, and resources were still scarce. Various ingredients and spices were hard to come by, and An Yan couldn't be bothered to put in the effort. It was fine for a boy to eat simply.
So, when he suddenly had a chance to eat a delicious meal, An Yan ate until his belly was round. Grandma Mito was also very happy; his ravenous appetite was the greatest compliment to her culinary skills.
After a pleasant stroll home, he closed the doors and windows and unrolled the ninjutsu scroll Mito had given him. It recorded nine basic sealing formulas.
An Yan took a closer look. There was the Evil Sealing Method to seal an enemy's chakra, the Fire Sealing Method, Water Sealing Method, and others for the five chakra natures, as well as the Four-Limbs Heavy Seal to restrain an enemy's movements, the Finger Carving Seal for transmitting information, and the Contract Seal for summoning beasts.
Kakashi had used the Evil Sealing Method, Jiraiya had used the Fire Sealing Method, he couldn't recall the Four-Limbs Heavy Seal, Jiraiya had used the Finger Carving Seal to send a message before his death, and Minato had used the Contract Seal during the Nine-Tails attack to break the contract between Obito and the Nine-Tails.
Although they were common sealing jutsu, an average ninja could use them from the Genin to Jonin level without any problem.
As for dealing with tailed beasts, that would require more advanced sealing jutsu.
With his system, An Yan only needed to read through them once to master all the sealing jutsu. The knowledge was deeply imprinted in his mind. However, sealing jutsu consumed a lot of chakra. With his current reserves, he could only use a few before running out.
The Uzumaki clan had naturally strong life force and chakra levels comparable to tailed beasts. In their hands, sealing jutsu were like regular attacks. In the hands of others, they were trump cards.
So, sealing jutsu could only be used as a last resort.
He was really envious of Mito Uzumaki. She had a triple buff: the Uzumaki bloodline, the power of a tailed beast, and the Yin Seal. Her chakra was practically limitless.
After learning all the sealing jutsu on the scroll, An Yan surprisingly mastered an advanced sealing jutsu without being taught—the Five Elements Seal.
It was simple. After learning the five basic sealing jutsu for fire, lightning, etc., he naturally mastered the combination of them, which was the Five Elements Seal.
An Yan remembered that Orochimaru had used the Five Elements Seal to reinforce Naruto's Nine-Tails seal and disrupt his chakra, greatly reducing his chakra control. It was later undone by Jiraiya.
It was a powerful sealing jutsu, a pleasant surprise indeed.
Feeling lucky, An Yan opened the wish system. He had been through a lot lately: fighting with 207's group, spouting famous quotes in front of his classmates, and becoming a "roll king" after discovering the library, much to his classmates' dismay. His reputation had reached 200 points again, enough for two draws.
A brilliant meteor streaked across the sky. After the animation, he received a passive skill and a weapon.
The skill was potentially useful, but also possibly useless. It was a passive talent that granted immunity to fall damage. The skill was called Lightfoot.
In the game where "enemies are deaf and blind, and my arms are super strong," Lara Croft fell from great heights multiple times but was always unharmed. She could survive a plane crash with just a scratch, all thanks to the Lightfoot talent.
If an ordinary, laid-off corporate drone got this talent, they could probably threaten to jump off a building to get a reasonable severance package.
Tsk, what a pathetic thought.
However, as a ninja who frequently moved at high altitudes, he probably wouldn't find himself in a situation where he would fall to his death. So, this skill would likely be shelved.
Shaking the strange thought from his head, An Yan looked at the weapon he had drawn. It was a recurve bow. It could shoot arrows farther with the same amount of force. In other words, it was slightly better than the bow he had made himself, and that was it.
The recurve bow had the advantage of good balance and long range, with decent killing power within 200 meters. The longbow he had made had a range of about 100 meters; any farther was a matter of luck.
An Yan studied it for a moment and then put it away. In a ninja battle, a bow and arrow were rarely useful. But since it was free, he would keep it. It might come in handy one day on a mission to eliminate bandits.
But since I got a weapon this time, will I get a gun next time?
An Yan remembered that Lara Croft had quite a few guns.
Muttering to himself, An Yan tidied up his house, washed up, and went to bed.
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office on the other side of the village.
Tobirama Senju sat at his desk, frowning at a scroll.
The scroll contained detailed information about An Yan, from his family background to his every word and deed. If you dared to approach the Jinchuriki, they would investigate your entire ancestry.
Tobirama read the words recorded on the scroll: "Only sheep and cattle move in herds. The beast walks alone."
Tobirama fell silent.
Am I a beast or a sheep?
My brother was the real beast... but he never walked alone.
Opposite him stood an ANBU member, a young Hiruzen Sarutobi. He had brought An Yan's information from Mito Uzumaki.
"So, this kid created an A-rank jutsu at the age of six?"
Tobirama read the report again and sighed. The new generation truly surpasses the old. He was getting old. When did he invent his first A-rank jutsu? He thought it was when he was ten.
The world was full of heroes, appearing one after another.
Tobirama committed the name An Yan to memory, planning to train him when he had the time.
A young genius like An Yan, who had been vetted by his sister-in-law's malice-sensing ability, was a true heir to the Will of Fire and naturally needed to be nurtured.
Tobirama looked at the scroll about the Rasengan that his sister-in-law had sent. After a moment of thought, he understood how it worked. Following An Yan's line of thinking, he simulated the next steps and found it feasible. Tobirama immediately classified it as a forbidden jutsu.
As everyone knew, forbidden jutsu were advanced techniques, exclusive to the strong.
Tobirama pondered for a moment and realized it could complement his own fighting style.
Teleporting with the Flying Thunder God Technique and then hitting them with a giant Rasengan would be fatal for most people.
Another one-hit-kill technique for a first encounter.
Tobirama decided to practice this jutsu in his spare time to increase his strength. It was still wartime, and the more trump cards he had, the better. You never knew when you might need one.
