The Book of Seals

An hour later, at the Hokage Building.

Under the dim light, the Third Hokage led Naruto into the forbidden jutsu chamber.

The narrow space was filled with the smell of old paper and dust.

Besides the enormous scroll "The Book of Seals," the surrounding shelves also display many scrolls recording ancient forbidden techniques passed down from the Warring States period.

"Naruto, this is the reward we agreed on."

The Third Hokage stared solemnly at the scroll before him:

"This place records the various forbidden techniques that Konoha has collected and developed since the First Hokage."

"As agreed, you can choose one technique to learn."

The third generation paused, then held up one finger to emphasize:

"It can only be a forbidden technique within a scroll."

In the view of the Third Generation, although the forbidden techniques in the scroll were equally dangerous, they were still within a controllable range.

The other forbidden techniques in the room are not so reasonable.

Moreover, the third generation also had their own agenda.

He noticed that Naruto seemed to particularly enjoy using the Shadow Clone Technique.

And the first forbidden technique in the scroll happens to be Multiple Shadow Clone Technique...

If Naruto could choose this technique, it would enhance his strength without causing him too much damage, making it a perfect choice.

"Understood."

Naruto walked up to the scroll, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

During his battle with Mizuki, he refrained from watching because he was being monitored by the Third Hokage and was not in good condition.

But now... he can watch openly.

"Thank you, Grandpa Three Generations."

Naruto bowed politely, then reached out and opened the scroll.

The huge scroll was slowly pulled open, revealing dense text.

Multiple Shadow Clone Technique

Naruto glanced at it and then walked past it.

Although he only knows the B-rank Shadow Clone Technique now, the principle is very similar to this A-rank ninjutsu.

The A-level multiple shadow clones and the B-level shadow clones are exactly the same, without any difference in their markings.

By slightly adjusting the flow of chakra, more clones can be created simultaneously.

Naruto had already figured it out on his own.

but……

The talent of "photographic memory" is activated instantly.

Whether it's useful or not, it's always good to write it down.

His gaze swept across the contents of the scroll as quickly as a high-precision scanner.

He studied every word, every hand seal, every chakra flow, every incantation, and every image...

They are all etched in my mind without the slightest error.

Edo Tensei (Impure World Reincarnation)

The art of manipulating the souls of the dead is somewhat ominous, but it involves the mysteries of life, death, and the soul, so it's necessary to keep it in mind as knowledge.

[Corpse Demon Seal]

A move that results in mutual destruction, capable of summoning the Grim Reaper... I'll write it down and study it later.

The Eight Gates Formation

Burning your life force to gain power can also unleash your body's potential. It's very useful, so I'll write it down.

Naruto flipped through the pages at a moderate pace, his brows furrowed, as if he were seriously agonizing over which one to choose.

The Third Hokage stood to the side, smoking a cigarette and waiting patiently.

In his view, it is normal for someone like Naruto to be conflicted when faced with so many powerful lineages.

Little did they know, Naruto, this "honest kid," was directly copying all of these inheritances into his own mind.

Finally, after reading through all the techniques in the scroll.

Naruto fixed his gaze on a technique in the middle of the scroll.

【Multiplication of Explosive Tags (Rank A Forbidden Technique)】

A single detonating tag is attached to the dead or the enemy, and the detonating tag is used to communicate with the spirit of the detonating tag to carry out continuous, targeted bombardment.

When Naruto saw this technique, his eyes lit up.

This ninjutsu is similar in concept to his previous idea of ​​"shadow clones carrying explosive tags for suicide attacks".

If you attach an explosive tag to a shadow clone and rush towards the enemy, then use a multiplicative explosive tag...

The scene is so beautiful.

Just thinking about it made Naruto incredibly excited.

Now we don't have to worry about being reduced to ashes!

"I've made my choice, three generations of grandfathers."

Naruto suddenly raised his head.

The third generation smiled and exhaled a smoke ring:

"Oh? It's multiple..."

"It's a multiplicative detonating tag!"

They both spoke at the same time.

"Cough cough cough."

The Third Hokage's eyebrows twitched violently, nearly choking on the smoke. "...Mutual explosion tags?"

The Third Hokage looked at Naruto with a strange expression.

"Naruto, this is a forbidden technique developed by the Second Hokage."

"Once this ninjutsu is activated, the explosion range is extremely difficult to control, and even the caster himself may be caught in it."

"Furthermore... this technique consumes a lot of explosive tags and chakra."

"I know."

Naruto said earnestly, "But I believe the best way to eliminate an enemy is to completely destroy him before he can harm my comrades!"

"I have a lot of chakra, and I can create shadow clones."

"We could send shadow clones carrying explosive tags to launch suicide attacks, thus eliminating the enemy from a safe distance."

Naruto adjusted his glasses and added:

"This is also for...to better protect everyone."

The third generation was stunned for a moment.

Using shadow clones as suicide bombs?

This... is logically flawless.

It could even be said that it is a fighting style unique to Naruto.

After all, most people don't have much chakra left after just creating a few shadow clones.

Not to mention the need to constantly summon spirits and detonate explosive talismans.

But none of these are problems for Naruto.

"Why don't you reconsider, like that weight..."

"No need to consider it."

Naruto's gaze was firm. "For the safety of my comrades, I am willing to take this risk."

Looking at Naruto, who had already made up his mind.

After a moment's hesitation, the third generation finally nodded.

After all, Naruto's tactics were indeed a good idea, even if they were a bit too violent.

If he wants to learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique or something similar, the Third Hokage should advise him to think twice.

"Alright, since you've thought it through, I won't try to persuade you any further."

"You have two hours to write down the incantation and practice method here."

A hint of joy flashed in Naruto's eyes.

"Thank you, Grandpa Three Generations."

It's not just about getting the technique you wanted.

More importantly... he now has enough time.

Two hours was more than enough time for him to memorize every single detail of the techniques.

There is even enough time for a deeper understanding.

Furthermore, that technique called "Flying Thunder God" seems quite interesting; it's worth investigating...

……

Two days later, at the Ninja Academy.

Today is the day for class assignments.

In the classroom, Naruto sat quietly by the window, holding a piece of white paper in his hand, writing and drawing.

He is trying to deduce the spell structure of the [Multiplicative Explosive Talisman].

Although you may remember the principle, "remembering" and "learning" are two different things.

Especially when he actually started operating it, Naruto discovered a fatal problem—it was too expensive!

In peacetime, a single explosive tag costs about 300 taels.

The principle of multiplying detonators is not to continuously replicate detonators out of thin air.

Instead, a certain detonating tag is used as the origin, and through psychic means, a pre-prepared detonating tag is moved to the origin before being detonated.

In other words, you have to prepare each detonator in advance.

Based on an estimated ten explosions per second, 180,000 taels of silver would be burned in one minute!

Every time he unleashes a ninjutsu, he burns down a small treasury!

Even though Naruto has a little money now, he can't afford to spend it like this.

"Looks like... I'll have to figure out how to draw the talismans myself."

Naruto frowned. "The explosive tag is essentially a talisman that seals fire-style chakra..."

"As long as I learn the corresponding sealing technique, I can achieve freedom in detonating explosive tags?"

and……

"Sasuke's Fire Release techniques are pretty good... but where will he learn sealing techniques?"
