Chapter 169

Shi Yuan suddenly thought of the Akimichi clan waiting outside, and his eyes lit up.

Perhaps the key lies in the Akimichi clan's secret techniques!

But there's no need to rush now.

"Chief Hiashi and the Seal Team, please come in."

Kurenai called out; he felt safer with Konoha people nearby while performing the sealing technique, even though he knew Shi Yuan was unlikely to betray him.

Shi Yuan paid no mind; once Hiashi and the others entered, he stepped beside Kurenai and activated the sealing technique.

Then he handed several secret techniques to Kurenai.

The Seal Team and Hiashi nodded to Kurenai, signaling the seal was flawless; Kurenai exhaled in relief and said solemnly:

"Mr. Shi Yuan, thank you!"

Shi Yuan waved his hand. "It's just a transaction."

The Nara clan's Shadow Imitation Technique had advanced his research into Yin chakra; he was satisfied with this deal.

He knew Kurenai's transaction was complete.

Third Hokage and the others rushed in; some gathered around Kurenai to ask for details.

Others approached Shi Yuan, eager to complete their own deals.

Third Hokage was one of them; he stood before Shi Yuan and said gravely:

"Shi Yuan, I wish to trade Konoha's secret techniques and forbidden jutsu with you, but I'd like to change the terms."

Shi Yuan frowned. "How do you want to change them?"

Third Hokage hurriedly said: "These secret techniques and forbidden jutsu belong to Konoha; I hope they can be passed on to more people!"

One of the ninja village's mechanisms is using powerful jutsu as rewards to motivate ninja to undertake high-risk missions.

Even if these secret or forbidden techniques are improved, the users won't be Third Hokage himself.

He needs them to be transmissible to others.

Shi Yuan understood this; if he refused, Third Hokage wouldn't proceed with the deal. After thinking, he said:

"I can inscribe these improved secret techniques or forbidden jutsu into sealing scrolls; each scroll can transmit the jutsu three times, and once every ten years, it can be replenished!"

"As long as the sealing scrolls remain, these jutsu can be passed down indefinitely…"

Though he agreed to the deal, he didn't want his developed techniques to become commonplace.

Third Hokage still tried to argue, even suggesting the jutsu be sealed without the sealing technique.

Shi Yuan sneered, showing no sign of backing down.
