Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

Chapter 134 Studying the Four Symbols

The so-called Four Symbols is also a concept of spiritual practice with many interpretations. Whether in the past life or this life, the Four Symbols is an extremely important concept in the extraordinary field.

Among them, the two most famous and widely circulated explanations are: one is the four spirits of heaven, namely the Azure Dragon in the east, the White Tiger in the west, the Vermillion Bird in the south and the Black Tortoise in the north.

Another widely circulated explanation is that it comes from Tai Chi. Tai Chi gives birth to two opposites, and two opposites give birth to four symbols. The four symbols represent the four states of Taiyang, Shaoyang, Taiyin and Shaoyin.

Judging from the Four Symbols Sealing Scroll that we just browsed, the principle of this sealing technique was developed from the explanation of the second Four Symbols, and this is also the basis of the more powerful Eight Trigrams Seal.

The so-called Four Symbols give birth to the Eight Trigrams. In the original work, the Eight Trigrams Seal developed by Minato and Kushina to seal the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body should have been based on this concept and ninjutsu.

With Minato and Kushina's current understanding and comprehension of the sealing technique, I naturally cannot expect them to guide me in practicing the Four Symbols Seal. Fortunately, after developing the Twelve Earthly Branches Fundamental Seals, my theoretical knowledge can be said to be very rich, and I have already had some ideas about the practice of the Four Symbols Seal.

Although most sealing techniques are performed in the form of chains or restraints, in essence, sealing techniques are actually similar to Hyuga Gentle Fist.

Both ninjutsu use one's own chakra to interfere with and block the normal operation and flow of the opponent's chakra in order to achieve the purpose of sealing or defeating the enemy.

The difference is that Hyuga Gentle Fist uses the Hyuga clan's unique chakra as a carrier, through acupuncture points and meridians, to temporarily block or destroy the opponent's chakra circulation.

The sealing technique is the same as the Five Elements Ninjutsu. Through the orderly operation of hand seals and chakra, the chakra is transformed into a technique with stable and special abilities.

Specifically for the Four Symbols Seal, the originally mixed chakra is split and separated according to the attributes of the Yin and Yang Four Symbols, and then through a certain chakra operation method, it forms a stable cycle to achieve the effect of binding the seal.

Therefore, a prerequisite for practicing the Four Symbols Sealing Technique is that the properties of the chakra cannot be too extreme. The yin and yang properties of the four symbols need to achieve a special balance before they can be successfully performed.

This is not a problem for me. The Hyuga clan's chakra has always been known for its stability and balance. Moreover, after practicing the Twelve Earthly Branches Fundamental Seals, my chakra is very close to natural energy.

Another point is that although one can learn this technique step by step with the help of the Four Symbols Sealing Ninjutsu scroll in one's hand, it is difficult to unleash the true power of the Four Symbols Seal without understanding its inner meaning and imagery.

In my opinion, the connection and transformation between the four symbols is the core of this sealing technique. If one truly understands the mystery, the sealing technique performed can even be done without relying on the ninja's chakra, and can form a cycle of its own and last forever.

According to records, the original concept of the Four Symbols was proposed to describe the changing states of all things. It begins with Shaoyang, when the Yang Qi rises and turns into Taiyang. Then, as the Yang Qi declines, it turns into Shaoyin, and as the Yang Qi disappears, it turns into Taiyin.

Of course, this is not the end. Just as the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter rotate, and just as the moon waxes and wanes, Taiyin will be transformed into Shaoyang as Yang rises again.

The imagery of the Four Symbols reveals the laws governing the operation of all things in the world. As for the Four Symbols Seal, this cyclical and endless characteristic also makes this technique highly stable and durable, which is exactly what the sealing technique requires.

After staying in the medical building for a while and confirming that Kushina had no injuries or sequelae, I left the room, leaving Minato, Ling and Nono to talk with her.

It seems that the fate of Minato and Kushina has not been affected by my appearance. I just don’t know whether their future child will be Naruto.

After I left the medical building, I walked towards the Konoha Forest again. The inspiration and insights I had just gained from browsing the Four Symbols Sealing Scroll kept popping up in my mind. I wanted to strike while the iron was hot and see if I could master this sealing technique.

Although I have no idea of ​​becoming a jinchūriki, the role of sealing techniques is more than that. Not to mention its application in combat, the understanding and perception of the world contained in the ninja who developed this technique is also inspiring for my practice.

My method of the Twelve Earthly Branches Fundamental Seals is based on the Twelve Earthly Branches, explaining the entire process of the birth, growth, decline and extinction of nature and the human body, repeating this cycle to achieve the effect of sublimating oneself.

If you think about it carefully, the twelve Earthly Branches can also be divided into four stages according to the Four Symbols. Among them, Yin, Mao, and Chen represent the birth and growth of all things as Shaoyang, Si, Wu, and Wei represent the prosperity and peak as Taiyang, while Shen, You, and Xu represent the beginning of decline as Shaoyin, and Hai, Zi, and Chou represent the slow extinction as Laoyin.

In this way, there are deeper connections and changes between the twelve Earthly Branches. My heart is filled with joy. Such a breakthrough and improvement in the fundamental method is more worthy of celebration for me than learning a ninjutsu or forbidden technique.
