Chapter 8: Chapter Eight: The First Sealing Technique!

Actually, the best time to upgrade the Tianfu skill Iron Bones is during the body’s rapid growth phase.

That is, between the ages of 10 and 22.

Unfortunately, by this time, he’s probably already on the battlefield.

Time waits for no one; Fujinaka Genma could only abandon this plan.

Without comparing himself to those chakra monsters, Fujinaka Genma’s current chakra level is already among the top tier.

And this is also one reason he shifted his training focus in his third year.

His physical constitution can no longer be significantly improved—maintaining daily training is sufficient.

The other three attributes.

Agility and intelligence have both increased by more than double since the beginning.

The gains may seem small, but the improvement is very noticeable.

For example, neural reaction speed and agility—closely tied to agility—his classmate, a Uchiha prodigy, is far inferior to him.

Intelligence represents learning ability; Fujinaka Genma clearly feels his speed of absorbing knowledge is constantly increasing.

Finally, charm.

The fact that Benshan Yujie treats Fujinaka Genma like his own son and helps him wholeheartedly speaks volumes.

That’s also why Fujinaka Genma strives to impress Kushina Uzumaki.

If he fully earns Kushina Uzumaki’s approval, the benefits will be enormous.

So far, the results look good.

By the training ground, beneath a large tree.

Kushina Uzumaki pulled out a sealing scroll, unsealed it, and took out some food to give to Fujinaka Genma: “Eat up—this was made by your teacher herself.”

“Thank Itachi, Teacher!”

Fujinaka Genma took it without hesitation.

“By the way, why did Itachi choose to train Lightning Release chakra nature after Fire Release?”

“Actually, Wind Release would be more suitable.”

Kushina Uzumaki smiled sweetly as she ate, her implication extremely strong.

Fujinaka Genma understood instantly and replied smoothly: “Because I didn’t expect to have a teacher like Itachi—I chose Lightning Release because it suits close combat better and lets me maximize my physical advantages!”

Kushina Uzumaki recalled Fujinaka Genma’s outstanding physical performance earlier and immediately understood. She nodded seriously: “Then stick to your original plan.”

“I don’t master Lightning Release myself, but I can arrange for a Jonin to guide Itachi.”

Fujinaka Genma’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly thanked her: “Thank Itachi, Teacher Kushina!”

“Hahaha, it’s only right!”

Kushina Uzumaki loved receiving recognition from her students.

Soon, they finished eating and had rested enough.

“Hey, the next sparring session will be serious.”

“The goal is to train your combat ability.”

She clapped her hands and stood up, her expression turning solemn: “As a ninja—even a member of the Sealing Division—Itachi must know how to fight.”

“On the battlefield, Itachi can trust your comrades, but Itachi must rely on yourself.”

Fujinaka Genma immediately nodded: “Yes, Teacher Kushina!”

Thus began a brutal training session, and Kushina Uzumaki revealed another side of herself.

“Genma, act decisively—remember, right now I’m your enemy Itachi must eliminate!”

“Too slow—if Itachi were surrounded, Itachi’d already be dead!”

…

Kushina Uzumaki’s shouts echoed constantly across the training ground, accompanied by thunderous impacts.

Fujinaka Genma gritted his teeth and endured her brutal training.

Hokage’s Office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched the crystal ball, seeing Fujinaka Genma being mercilessly battered by Kushina Uzumaki, his face twitching.

Just as I thought!

She was supposed to be teaching sealing techniques, and now this…

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed helplessly.

One hour later.

On the training ground, Fujinaka Genma, bruised and swollen, collapsed with a thud, gasping for breath.

His clothes were soaked through with sweat.

His stamina had been completely drained by Kushina Uzumaki—every last drop gone.

And more exhausted than ever before.

His entire body felt like his muscles were twitching.

He had shattered his previous limits—never before had he felt this drained; his mind was blank, almost shut down.

“After a period of training, some improvement has been achieved.”

“Level up.”

Suddenly, the system’s voice echoed in his mind.

Fujinaka Genma jolted awake, his mind clearing instantly, filled with joy.

It had been over three months since his last level-up.

He immediately opened the system; a glowing screen appeared in his mind.

Character: Fujinaka Genma

Level: 11

Age: 9

Faction: Hidden Leaf Village, Land of Fire

Available attribute points: 1

Available skill points: 1

Fujinaka Genma still allocated his attribute points to constitution; after this session, which shattered his limits, his constitution increased by +1, and with the 100% boost from Level 10 Iron Bones, it became +4, raising his constitution stat to 964.

So, how should he use his skill point?

Fujinaka Genma opened his skill list.

Talent Skill: Level 10 Iron Bones: +10% constitution per level, total +100%

Level 1 Strong Strike: +10% damage per level

Level 1 Strong Throw: +10% damage to thrown weapons per level

Level 2 Weapon Mastery: +1 level to weapon skill cap per level; increases weapon skill improvement rate by 10% per level; weapon skill cap is 12, total improvement rate increase: 20%

Notes: 1. Talent skills are system-generated and cannot be improved through training—only skill points can upgrade them.

2. A maximum of nine talent skills can be possessed.

Regular Skills: Level 2 Hand-to-Hand Combat (Taijutsu)

Level 4 Ninja Tool Throwing (Dark Weapons)

Level 6 Chakra Control (Chakra Extraction, Chakra Manipulation)

Level 5 Body Replacement Technique (Clone, Transformation, Substitution)

Level 6 Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation

Level 6 Fire Release—Flame Bullet

When he last leveled up to 10, Fujinaka Genma upgraded Weapon Mastery by one level, allowing his Ninja Tool Throwing to reach Level 4.

Level 4 is already the standard of an excellent Chunin.

One more level—to Level 5—means Jonin rank.

Looking at his skill list, Fujinaka Genma hesitated and did not immediately spend his skill point.

At that moment, Kushina Uzumaki brought a bag of milk, bent down, and held it to his lips: “Drink—it will restore your stamina quickly.”

Fujinaka Genma closed the system, bit the straw, and said: “Thank Itachi, Teacher Kushina!”

Kushina Uzumaki smiled warmly: “I’m glad Itachi don’t think your teacher is too strict.”

“This kind of training will happen every three days.”

“Now, we begin learning sealing techniques.”

“Since Itachi’ve already grasped the basics of sealing, I’ll formally teach Itachi your first sealing technique.”

Upon hearing this, Fujinaka Genma’s eyes instantly brightened, gazing at Kushina Uzumaki with eager anticipation.

Kushina Uzumaki loved this thirsting look in Fujinaka Genma’s eyes and smiled: “The first sealing technique I’ll teach Itachi is called the Sealing Technique: Demon Sealing.”
