Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

It has been a few days since I got the scroll of the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, and I have also completed part of the improvement of the Twelve Earthly Branches Fundamental Sealing Technique.

As the fundamental method of my practice, it is also the important reason why I have reached the level of a senior ninja in many aspects of physical skills, chakra and eye skills within a few years. It is not an easy thing for me to improve and perfect the method of the twelve earthly branches' fundamental seals.

I have been pondering and comparing the Twelve Earthly Branches and the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams in the past few days, and I can feel that both my cultivation potential and cultivation results have made great progress.

As for mastering the Four Symbols Seal and the Eight Trigrams Seal, it was a natural thing, but it was different from the Eight Trigrams Seal performed by Minato and Kushina in the original work, which was formed by the superposition of two Four Symbols Seals.

I developed a ninjutsu that is different from the Four Symbols Seal by deducing and developing the orthodox Eight Trigrams: Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui.

The Eight Trigrams are of the same origin as the Four Symbols, but compared to the Four Symbols, the Eight Trigrams are more complex and specific in their interpretation of the changes in yin and yang, and the images represented by the Eight Trigrams are also closer to natural things.

Although the sealing technique developed from this is slightly inferior to the Four Symbols Seal in terms of durability and stability, it has unique advantages in blocking and tempering.

I formed a seal with my hands and pressed it on a tree trunk: "Eight Trigrams Seal."

I saw eight chains extending from my palms, wrapping and binding the entire tree. The eight chains were different, representing eight images of heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains and marshes, each with its own magical use.

The eight chains do not bind the opponent like other sealing techniques, but each occupies a different position, evolving the heaven and earth with chains, trapping the opponent in it like a small world and cutting off its connection with the outside nature. It has a strong restraining effect on some special secret techniques and bloodline limits.

After practicing the Four Symbols Seal again, I nodded with satisfaction. This time, I not only mastered two powerful sealing techniques, but also perfected the fundamental practice method. It can be expected that in the near future, my strength will improve rapidly again.

"Hmm?" Just as I was about to familiarize myself with the Bagua Seal again, I suddenly felt someone approaching quickly. I stopped and looked, and it was Minato who jumped off the branch and landed in front of me.

"Yunyu, Lord Hokage summoned us to the Hokage Building. There must be a new mission." These days, Minato has been spending most of his time with Kushina, and has spent much less time practicing in the Konoha Forest.

Seeing this, I stopped practicing: "Okay, we'll go there right away. Do you know what the situation is?"

Ever since the three of us returned from the front line in Rain Country, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the advisory group have discussed and decided to adopt a defensive stance on the battlefield in the direction of Rain Country.

No more ninja support will be sent, but Jiraiya and his companions will not be recalled either. In order to prevent the Rain Country from tearing up the tacit agreement, a certain number of ninja troops and commanders need to be stationed on the border.

Nawaki and Mitsumune came back later than us, but after the village made the final decision, they both returned to the front line of the Land of Rain with the order of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, the three of us did not receive this mission, so we have been staying in the village. Today, we finally waited for the summons from Sarutobi Hiruzen. However, considering the current situation in the Rain Country, we should not be needed to go there to support. I don’t know whether the new mission will be to the Thunder Country or the Wind Country.

By the time Minato and I arrived at the Hokage building, Shinichi had been waiting for us for a while, so we followed an Anbu ninja into the Hokage's office to meet Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"You three are here. Jiraiya has already reported the details of your previous mission on the front line of Rain Country. You did a great job. It seems that you are born with the talent to be a ninja."

"Originally I wanted you to follow Jiraiya to gain experience and learn, but now it seems that you all have the ability to take charge on your own, and there will be no conflict on the front line of the Rain Country at the moment, so I think you can take on more challenging responsibilities."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and said, "At present, the borders of several major countries bordering our Konoha are not peaceful, except for the Rain Country which just experienced a war."

"Although there has been no large-scale battle in the Wind Country, small-scale conflicts are becoming more and more intense. The Hyuga clan's Byakugan and Gentle Fist have a strong restraining effect on the Sand Ninja's puppetry, so Yunyu, your new mission is to go to the border of the Wind Country and report to Hatake Sakumo."

"Regarding the Land of Lightning." Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, then continued: "Although there is no intelligence indicating that the Cloud Ninja will also participate in this war, judging from their activities in the Land of Rain and their actions against Kushina, they have no good intentions towards Konoha. Later, Danzo will personally go to the border to take charge, and you, Minato, will follow him to defend against the Land of Lightning."

"As for the Land of Water, this country is very closed and has never been involved in the affairs of the Ninja World. However, considering that the strength of the Mist Ninja should not be underestimated, we in Konoha cannot be completely defenseless, so we will send the elite of the Anbu to conduct reconnaissance and defense. Shinichi, you will temporarily join the Anbu and go to the border of the Land of Water together."

"Yes." We didn't expect that the three of us would be sent to different places, but Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally took it into consideration, so we had no choice but to accept the mission.
