Chapter 28 Official Certification, Master-Disciple Dialogue
Having finally obtained the Yin Seal he had longed for, Gojo Yoru was overjoyed, yet surprisingly calm.
Just as he had thought.
Kushina Uzumaki's ability to bring the Book of Seals from Uzushiogakure to him seems simple, but it is actually quite incredible.
After all, the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools and the Hidden Village of Whirlpools was due to the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.
Moreover, Gojo Yoru was quite certain that the sealing techniques stolen by those major powers were at most some ordinary and advanced sealing techniques and barrier techniques.
Some extremely rare and powerful sealing techniques cannot be easily passed on. Even clan members who have made contributions to the family can only obtain a one-time independent scroll.
It might even be engraved with a seal similar to the seal of the severing of tongue calamity, as well as a restriction to defend against mind-reading techniques.
Almost every clan with secret techniques has such methods, mainly to prevent clan members from betraying their clan or being taken advantage of, which would lead to the clan's secret techniques being leaked.
As a prestigious ninja clan that has existed for thousands of years, the Uzumaki clan's Book of Seals is second only to the Book of Seals of Konoha in value.
If this happened in the ninja world, it would definitely start a second ninja war immediately.
And now, this thing is placed right in front of Gojo Yoru.
This would not have been possible without the tacit approval of Mito Uzumaki and Hiruzen Sarutobi!
In Gojo Yoru's eyes, this scroll was a signal.
There were signs that both Mito Uzumaki and Hiruzen Sarutobi acknowledged him and were preparing to nurture him.
Otherwise, even if Kushina Uzumaki were love-struck, those two powerful figures would never have allowed her to do something so impulsive.
They should all be pinning their hopes on Gojo Yoru now, hoping he will learn the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques and have the ability to deal with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki going out of control in the future.
At the same time, it is hoped that he can work with Kushina Uzumaki to suppress and influence the Nine-Tails.
Thinking of all this, Gojo Yoru's joy was even greater than that of obtaining the Yin Seal.
This means that his relationship with Kushina Uzumaki has been "officially recognized." Even if the latter becomes the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the higher-ups will not dare to interfere. They will even help the two of them from behind the scenes and use resources to cultivate Gojo Yoru.
After Mito Uzumaki dies, unless Gojo Yoru has a disagreement with Hiruzen Sarutobi or they fall out, he won't have any trouble as long as he's still in Konoha.
As long as she demonstrates her exceptional talent and strength, Gojo Yoru's future will be unobstructed.
……
"Sarutobi-sensei, why are you acting so strangely today? You actually invited Orochimaru and me over for dinner?"
"You brat, how dare you say that? What kind of master-disciple relationship is it where the teacher invites the disciple? If I hadn't invited you, would you have never shown me any respect?"
"Ahem... I haven't been on a mission in a long time, I'm broke."
"Then why aren't you going to work?"
"No, I need to stay in Konoha to gather material. I'm planning to write a novel, and once I've earned some royalties, I'll properly repay you."
"Oh? Come over and explain in detail."
That evening, Hiruzen Sarutobi unusually invited his two disciples, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, to his home for dinner.
Orochimaru was helping Sarutobi Biwako in the kitchen, while Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen were drinking and bickering at the dining table.
Of the three disciples, Orochimaru was the one that Sarutobi and his wife were most satisfied and proud of, but the one who could chat the most with Hiruzen Sarutobi was the unruly Jiraiya.
One inherited the mantle of ninjutsu, the other inherited the mantle of lust; they shared common interests.
Jiraiya, who possesses a great deal of Hiruzen Sarutobi's dark history, treats the Sarutobi household as if it were his own home, acting extremely arrogantly.
After dinner, Sarutobi Biwako refused Orochimaru's offer to wash the dishes, and the three of them went from the restaurant to the tea room.
Orochimaru took over the task of making tea, while Hiruzen Sarutobi lit his pipe and began puffing out smoke.
Jiraiya, too lazy for such formalities, simply sat cross-legged on the tatami mat and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, getting straight to the point: "Sarutobi-sensei, is there something you need us to do?"
"Couldn't it just be that I, an old man, want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you?"
As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, Jiraiya cast a disdainful glance at him, and even Orochimaru, who was washing tea, gave Hiruzen a sidelong look.
"You two brats, what kind of eyes do you have?" Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately scolded.
"Come on, Sarutobi-sensei. Only you could do something like handing over the entire team to Orochimaru after he became a Chunin," Jiraiya retorted mercilessly. "It's only because the three of us are strong and lucky that we'd be dead dozens of times over."
"If I hadn't let you grow up so freely, would you have achieved your current strength?"
"Fine, fine, I can't argue with you." Jiraiya raised his hands in surrender, then asked again, "So, Sarutobi-sensei, what do you want to talk to us about? It's not about the women's bathhouse, is it?"
"Hey brat, don't be so loud." Hiruzen Sarutobi made a gesture as if he was about to teach Jiraiya a lesson with his pipe, which startled the latter so much that he covered his head with his hands.
Orochimaru watched this scene with a smile.
After some playful banter, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally got straight to the point, asking, "You've all been Jonin for a while now, and your overall abilities are excellent, but you're still missing one crucial element. Have you ever thought about becoming an instructor Jonin, training a few subordinates, and finding promising young talents to inherit your mantle?"
Jiraiya's eyes lit up immediately. "Sarutobi-sensei, would you like us to be Nawaki's Jonin instructors?"
"The Jonin instructor for Nawaki has already been decided internally, and I, your teacher, have no right to interfere." Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed to the ceiling.
Jiraiya was instantly discouraged, looking dejected as he said, "If it weren't for becoming Nawaki's Jonin instructor, I wouldn't be interested for now. The promising talents that Orochimaru and I have our eyes on are still a long way from graduating."
"Oh? Who have you chosen?" Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately became interested. He hadn't expected that his two disciples would silently find him two grand-disciples without saying a word.
"They'll only be in fifth grade in April. Orochimaru has his eye on the top student, while I've got my eye on the second-place student," Jiraiya replied truthfully.
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately looked at Orochimaru, his smile somewhat meaningful, and said, "The child of Hayate and Mio, is he your disciple?"
Orochimaru understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's meaning and chuckled, "It seems you've noticed him too, Sarutobi-sensei. Well, he is indeed so outstanding."
"Not only me, but also Lady Mito is paying attention to him."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's answer caused Orochimaru and Jiraiya to change their expressions.
There are very few people who can be addressed as "sir" by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
In present-day Konoha, there is only the wife of the First Hokage who founded Konoha.
Although the Senju clan has integrated into Konoha, even Tsunade and Nawaki have abandoned the Senju surname.
But as long as this lord is still alive, the Senju clan will continue to exist.
She represents not only the Senju clan, but also the First Hokage.
All the ninja clans in Konoha are fans of the First Hokage.
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi said, this person is "above".
Even the Hokage has no right to interfere with her decision.
