Chapter 56 Sealing Technique, Minato Namikaze's Suspicion
"Celebrate? Although I have great faith in your abilities, the exam results won't be out until tomorrow. Isn't it a bit too hasty to celebrate now?" Upon hearing Nohara Rin's purpose, Namikaze Minato was taken aback, scratching his head and chuckling awkwardly.
His gaze, however, inadvertently swept over Obito, who looked completely unsurprised. If Obito didn't pass the written test tomorrow, this guy would definitely be unhappy because of the early celebration.
This is really troublesome; even Lin acted so impulsively...
"Hey? Minato-sensei, what kind of look is that?? I got Rin's answers, I'm sure I'll pass this mere written test." Obito, already annoyed, immediately snapped when Minato gave him that strange look.
Damn it, how could Lin's answer be wrong!
"Oh, no wonder that loser is so confident, it turns out he's been cheating." Minato Namikaze's face stiffened before he could even speak, and Kakashi next to him once again delivered a disdainful remark.
"Cheating? Kakashi, what are you talking about! That's helping, helping each other as teammates!!"
"Help each other? Then what did you help Lin with, you loser?"
"You bastard Kakashi, you..." Obito felt as if his fig leaf had been torn off, but he was powerless to refute it. He cursed himself inwardly for speaking the truth without thinking.
If Minato-sensei finds out they cheated, will he ask the examiner to cancel their exam scores?
Oh no, that darn Kakashi! ヽ(｀⌒′メ)ノ
Thinking of this, Obito immediately looked pitifully at Minato Namikaze, "Minato-sensei, please don't tell the examiner about this! Even if it was cheating, it's just my problem, please don't cancel Rin's score."
"Well! Written exams are also a form of intelligence gathering. As long as the examiners don't find out what methods you use, it's fine." Minato Namikaze smiled reassuringly, but his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
That's true, but if the cheating method is too clumsy, you'll be eliminated. However, given the current situation in the ninja world, the higher-ups will likely turn a blind eye and allow more genin to pass the written exam and then undergo practical assessments to ultimately determine whether they can be promoted to chunin. Celebrating in advance is perfectly acceptable.
Hmm, it seems the three of them really need to work on their teamwork!
"Then I wish you all the best in advance on your exams. It's on me today." After a pause, Minato Namikaze smiled and nodded in agreement.
Nohara Rin was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Minato-sensei, it's been so long since I've seen Kushina-neechan, why don't we call her out so we can all come together?"
"Kushina??" Upon hearing Rin Nohara's request, Minato Namikaze glanced at Kakashi and Obito and nodded in agreement.
Dealing with these two troublesome students seems to be better suited to his hot-tempered girlfriend, Kushina! Perfect timing, also a chance for Kushina to relax a bit...
"Huh? That violent redhead?? No way! ┌(。Д。)┐" Obito was instantly dumbfounded, and the memory of being 'OK'ed by Kushina during their first meeting sent chills down his spine!
Kakashi, who was standing next to him, didn't say anything, but his slightly disordered breathing revealed his inner turmoil...
"You two come with me. I'll leave Minato-sensei to you to call Kushina-neechan." Nohara Rin wasn't about to let Obito have his way, so she immediately called out and led the two of them to the restaurant where they often ate together.
"Lin, she really does seem a little different!" Minato Namikaze murmured to himself, a strange light flickering in his eyes as he watched the three figures depart.
What exactly happened to this child...?
Night, a time-traveling room.
"Finally, we've made it this far!" Looking at the reappearing transdimensional portal, Ishikawa, his forehead sweating and face pale, trembled as if he had been squeezed by dozens of beautiful women and stepped forward.
While the cultivation method using the "Soldier's Food Pill" is comparable to having a cheat code, the side effects are also quite obvious.
To be honest, without the "door handle cheat code," Ishikawa would never have used such a physically exhausting method of training.
"Crack..."
With a familiar electrical buzz, feeling the rapid surge of cellular energy, Ishikawa immediately smiled contentedly and collapsed onto the sofa.
Although he wasn't sure whether this body tempering was due to the energy conversion of the doorknob or a self-destructive act of overdrawing his own lifespan, Ishikawa couldn't refuse this cheat code that allowed him to quickly become stronger, regardless of the reason.
Lifespan can be shortened, but if he lacks the strength, he might truly be finished!
"Creak." Less than two minutes after Ishikawa collapsed, the door next to him suddenly opened from the outside and Nohara Rin appeared quickly.
"Phew, I'm finally back!" Looking at Ishikawa, whose eyes were wide open and whose limbs were numb, Nohara Rin patted her chest, her body covered in sweat.
After the dinner party, she was exhausted from training her superhuman strength. Without thinking twice, Nohara Rin immediately went to the opposite door and touched the doorknob.
A few minutes later.
"Miss Lin, you're late today." Ishikawa, now recovered, said energetically, heading towards the carp he had bought that day to prepare for his training.
"Ishikawa, the sealing technique you asked me to find has a problem!" Nohara Rin hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, her embarrassed expression causing Ishikawa to pause.
"A problem? What problem?"
"Um, today I asked Minato-sensei to teach me the Anti-Spying Sealing Technique, under the pretext of protecting Konoha's intelligence during the war to prevent me from being captured. But, but..."
"But what?" Seeing Nohara Rin hesitate, Ishikawa pressed her for an answer, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
Please, please don't let anything happen!!
Seeing Ishikawa's worried expression, Nohara Rin lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. "Minato-sensei said that learning sealing techniques would be a waste of my time and didn't agree. If it's just to prevent enemies from spying on my memories, you can just set up a seal for me."
"I couldn't refuse that reason, so I could only nod in agreement. After that, Minato-sensei entrusted this matter to Kushina-neechan, who was even more proficient in sealing techniques, so you probably won't get the sealing technique you want!"
"Phew... Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Ishikawa exhaled a breath of stale air, and most of his worries dissipated.
Minato Namikaze's argument was well-founded and there was really no reason to refute it! He was too naive before; how could such advanced sealing techniques from a time of war be easily taught to a genin?
It's possible that because of this, Nohara Rin is now under suspicion or even being monitored by Namikaze Minato!
Fortunately, Rin Nohara was a good person and had not done anything to harm Konoha. Even if Minato Namikaze suspected her, he would investigate secretly, so her safety was still somewhat guaranteed.
This also served as a reminder to Ishikawa: never underestimate ninjas! He needed to stay calm, play it safe, and avoid recklessness!
"Let's put the sealing technique aside for now and begin today's training!" Nodding to Nohara Rin, Ishikawa went to the table, placed the fish down, and formed hand seals.
Regardless, as long as Rin Nohara is sealed with a sealing technique, her safety is guaranteed! After all, Rin Nohara underwent genjutsu torture by Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and even Madara in the original story.
Seeing that Ishikawa was not angry, Nohara Rin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stepped forward to instruct him on how to cultivate the Palm Immortal Technique!
While the two were engaged in intense training, a blond figure with a furrowed brow secretly watched from a distance not far from Nohara Rin's door.
Is he overthinking things, or has Lin suffered some kind of misfortune, that he actually wants to learn a spyproof sealing technique?
After monitoring for more than an hour without finding any sign that Lin had gone out, the blond youth suddenly thought of something and activated his senses by placing one hand on the ground.
Yes, Lin is the only one in the room.
Is he overthinking it...?
