Konoha: The seal art teacher of the ninja school

Xia Yan's photography technique has a shortcoming.

That is, when performing this technique, the rapid movements of turning pages and the crazy blinking of his eyes made Xia Yan look very nervous.

Even the library aunt who used to organize books nearby now dare not approach within a five-meter radius of Xia Yan.

At this time, she was hiding behind the counter, secretly observing Xia Yan.

He couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Yao Shou, the curse in the sealing class is getting more and more powerful..."

I don't know which family this library aunt is related to, but she is obviously not a ninja.

So she didn't know that what she thought was a quiet whisper was actually heard clearly by Xia Yan.

"..."

Xia Yan felt like he was being victimized by Feng Ping.

Perhaps that's how the curse in the sealing arts class became more and more outrageous.

I'm always being muttered like this by you, and even if I'm not cursed, I've become cursed.

Xia Yan resisted the urge to roll his eyes and continued to record the contents of the book in his hand.

If possible, he wouldn't want to do performance art here.

It's a pity that even teachers cannot borrow the books in the ancient books area and can only read them here.

It seems that this photography technique needs to be improved.

Xia Yan felt a little strange.

Why did I think it was a good idea to use my eyes as the lens and blink as the shutter?

Unfortunately, improvement is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

So Xia Yan had no choice but to endure the surprised look from the library aunt and continue his great work of scanning books.

after a while.

"After searching for a long time, it turns out you are here!"

A sudden loud voice interrupted Xia Yan's concentrated work state.

As soon as he turned his head, Xia Yan saw Teacher Ikkaku appearing at the entrance of the ancient books area, waving his hand and walking towards him.

"Shhh!!!"

Seeing that it was Director Umino, the library aunt's courage came back and she put her finger in front of her lips to silence him.

He was obedient to Xia Yan and punched Ikkaku hard.

"Please keep quiet in the library. If you want to speak, please go out and speak."

Umino smiled coquettishly, and then made a gesture of zipping up his mouth.

Xia Yan quickly wrote down the last few pages of the "Evaluation Guide for Psychic Beast Girls" in his hand, then closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf.

Then he pointed to the door, gesturing for Umino to come outside and talk.

The two of them walked out of the library under the disgusted eyes of the library aunt.

After leaving the library, Umino Ikkaku first made a gesture to unzip his mouth, and then asked:

"I can't find you anywhere in the past two days. Are you just staying in the library?"

"So to speak, Teacher Ikkaku, do you have something to do with me?"

Xia Yan asked as he rubbed his aching eyes with his hands.

"Of course there is something!"

Umino looked at Xia Yan and looked like he was fine, and said angrily:

"You're such a capable kid. You made big news yesterday without making any noise. In the past two days, everyone in the school has been talking about your sealing class!"

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Xia Yan didn't quite understand where the resentment in Teacher Ikkaku's words came from.

"Of course it's a good thing for you," Umino glared.

"We other teachers are in a miserable state. Many students have applied to change to your class. In order to deal with them, there has been a mess in the teacher's office these two days! But you, the key figure, are sitting comfortably in the library reading.

!”

"I obviously stood and read..."

Xia Yan complained in his heart, but did not say it out loud, so as not to irritate Teacher Yijiao's weak mind.

What Teacher Ikkaku said was actually beyond Xia Yan's expectations.

The first sealing lesson he gave to his students yesterday was specially designed to arouse everyone's interest.

But Xia Yan didn't expect that too much interest would become a problem.

It seems that he still underestimated the appeal of the images created by his projection technique to the young ninjas.

After Xia Yan quickly sorted out the information in his mind, he asked Teacher Ikkaku:

"Then teacher, you are looking for me now..."

You're not going to fire him, are you?

Then Xia Yan will have to write a big letter of apology for the curse in the sealing class.

Speaking of business, Umino Ikkaku also became serious, cleared his throat and said:

"Because you were away before, Master Biwako made the decision to arrange everything. Now I just want to inform you."

"It's mainly two things, emmm... it should be considered good news."

"First of all, some of the applications from those who wanted to switch to sealing arts classes were approved by Lord Biwako."

"Because the number of students has increased, the school has rearranged a large classroom for you. This is a treatment that other teachers do not have!"

Umino Ikkaku said the last thing and looked at Xia Yan with pleased eyes.

Although he was complaining just now that Xia Yan gave him more work, he was actually quite proud of Xia Yan's activity.

After all, these are the students he taught.

As for the fact that Xia Yan's sealing technique was not taught by him, Umino ignored it selectively.

It's a pity that Xia Yan didn't show any excitement after hearing what he said.

That's it?

Xia Yan asked in a calm tone: "Did the salary increase?"

Umino Ikkaku's expression froze: "...That's not true."

Xia Yan spread his hands with a speechless expression.

"Then what good news is this?"

"There are more students to teach and the workload is greater, but my salary has not increased. Why do I feel like I am losing money?"

Umino was speechless for a moment.

What he said made sense, and I was speechless.

For a moment, such an idea came to his mind.

wrong!

Umino Ikkaku shook his head quickly, a little afraid that he might have been misled by Xia Yan's words.

"Being a teacher is not about money!" he said with dignity.

Umino Ikkaku feels that as Natsuhiko's former teacher, it is necessary to teach him the last lesson and teach him what teacher ethics is.

As a result, before he opened his mouth, Xia Yan asked:

"——What about the second good news?"

Seeing that Teacher Ikkaku was about to enter the preaching mode again, Xia Yan quickly changed the subject and interrupted his spell reading.

Umino Ikkaku, who had just finished brewing something to say, was interrupted by Natsuhiko and almost suffered internal injuries.

After finally recovering, he told him angrily:

"Also, because there are too many people in your class and I'm afraid you won't be able to cope with it, Master Biwako has arranged an assistant teacher for you."

"Assistant teacher?" Xia Yan frowned slightly.

He had never heard of such a thing as assistant teachers in ninja schools before, and he always felt that it was a bit fishy.

Moreover, with such an extra person in the office, it is inconvenient to do many things.

So Xia Yan organized his speech and refused:

"Um... I think I'm still young and should be able to handle it. I'd rather not be a teaching assistant or anything like that."

As a teaching assistant, I’ll leave it to Teacher Ikkaku for you to enjoy.

It just so happens that I can be a teaching assistant if I have something to do. It's okay...

Unfortunately, Teacher Ikkaku rejected his refusal.

"It's too late. Who told you not to see anyone before? And the assistant coach is already here, so you'd better go and see him first."

I didn't expect that the ninja world also has the usage of "everyone has come".

Xia Yan felt helpless, knowing that he could not refuse Teacher Ikkaku's rejection of him.

"So, teacher, where is the teaching assistant you mentioned now?"

"Oh, I didn't find you just now, so I asked her to go to your office to wait for you, so you'd better go back as soon as possible."

Umino just remembered such a thing, so he urged Xia Yan.

"Are you sure you asked that assistant to go to my office?"

Xia Yan's expression became a little strange.

"Yes, I was worried that she wouldn't be able to get in, so I gave her the spare key." Umino Ikkaku replied.

After saying that, he added, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the other party is a girl, so don't be too rude."

It's a pity that Xia Yan wasn't listening at all.

When he learned that the assistant teacher had gone to his office, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Subconsciously looking at the upper right corner of his field of vision, Xia Yan discovered that the message bar there had already accumulated several messages.

When he opened it, he found that every message reminded Xia Yan that someone had entered his office.

Apparently someone triggered the perception barrier that Xia Yan set up the day before yesterday.

As for why Xia Yan didn't notice it just now?

It was naturally because he was obsessed with reading books and couldn't help himself, so he didn't notice these messages.

It seems that this reminder function needs to be improved, perhaps a sound reminder function should be added.

Xia Yan thought subconsciously.

wrong!

Now is not the time to think about this!

Xia Yan quickly remembered that while he was setting up the perception barrier the day before yesterday, he also set up a restraint barrier as a trap.

It will be triggered once someone enters the office without Xia Yan's consent.

"Gan!"

Xia Yan didn't have time to think too much, turned around and walked quickly to his office.

"Hey, Xia Yan, where are you going?"

Umino Ikkaku looked at Natsu Yan's quickly leaving back and was stunned. After a while, he scratched his head and sighed:

"You ran so fast when you heard it was a girl. Are young people just impatient?"

…

The sealing arts teacher's office was not far from the library, so Xia Yan quickly arrived near the door.

Seeing the office door open, Xia Yan's face became darker and darker.

"I hope everyone is okay..."

He prayed in his heart, took a deep breath, walked step by step to the door of the office, and looked inside...

What comes into view is a scene that is unbearable to watch:

A girl with long fiery red hair was hanging in the air in the office.

The dark and thick ropes, condensed from runes and spells, were binding her tightly in the style of a tortoise shell.

The girl's chest was heaving, her breathing was heavy, and her clothes were soaked with sweat. It was obvious that she had undergone a fierce struggle just now.

However, judging from the dull expression on her eyes at this time, she must have entered a state of abandoning treatment.

It reminded Xia Yan of salted fish hanging on a rack to dry.

"Ah this..."

Xia Yan has a toothache.

At this time, the girl also saw Xia Yan peeking out at the door, and her pupils gradually became brighter, rekindling the hope of being rescued.

She wanted to cry out for help, but her first words were subconsciously:

"Be careful! There is a trap in this office!"

I know, because I arranged it.

Xia Yan complained in his heart.

But of course this cannot be said in reality.

Before he came to the office, he had actually made corresponding plans for various possible situations.

Seeing that the girl was not very smart, Xia Yan decided to implement Plan 996 first and try to take the blame route.

"Oh no! Who is so wicked as to set a trap in my office?"

Xia Yan shouted in shock, trying to behave like an unsuspecting person.

It's a pity that the performance is a bit exaggerated.

Obviously, Xia Yan does not have the acting talent that is standard for time travellers.

Once again, this is holding back the organization.

In fact, Xia Yan always wanted to complain.

God knows how those senior time-travelers were able to play tricks on all kinds of old foxes and act against Biao just after time-traveling.

What did they do in their previous lives?

After hearing Xia Yan's words, the girl was naturally not convinced by Xia Yan's acting skills, but instead noticed the fact that this was his office.

"Is this your office? Then you are the new sealing teacher..."

The girl was surprised at Xia Yan's youth at first, and then her eyes turned a little resentful, "Then this trap..."

Xia Yan opened his eyes wide and said, "Why do you accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air?"

"I have been staying in the library these past few days to prepare for classes, and I didn't even have time to change the layout of the office..."

As he was talking, Xia Yan suddenly struck each other with his fists and palms, as if he suddenly thought of something and suddenly realized something.

"It must be a sealing technique trap left by the previous teacher. I don't know how you triggered it."

The girl looked at Xia Yan with suspicious eyes.

Then how can you be fine?

Is that trap specifically targeting girls?

Xia Yan naturally thought of this, and patched it up: "Probably because after the last teacher left, this trap was not maintained, so it worked sometimes."

The translation is, you are in bad luck!

The girl's face turned dark.

Although what Xia Yan said is indeed possible, she is not willing to accept the fact that she is an unlucky person.

But the girl also knows that it is no longer the point who set the trap, the most important thing now is to get herself out of it first.

So she reluctantly accepted Xia Yan's statement and asked, "Can you help me get rid of this trap?"

"Of course there is no problem."

Xia Yan agreed wholeheartedly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally got through it for the time being.

…

A moment later, in the office of the sealing teacher.

Xia Yan was briefly introducing himself to the girl.

"Natsuhiko Uborn, he is sixteen years old this year. He was recently promoted to special jounin and took up the post of sealing teacher two days ago. Please give me your advice in the future."

The girl also introduced herself, although it sounded weak.

"My name is... Uzumaki Kushina, I am fifteen years old, a chuunin, and I will serve as an assistant teacher in the sealing arts class... Please give me your advice."

Is it really Kushina Uzumaki?

Although Natsuhiko was a little suspicious when he saw the red hair, when he finally confirmed that the other party was the Uzumaki Kushina, he still felt a little stirred in his heart.

He is one year older than Kushina, but because he was born earlier, he is actually two years older than her.

When Kushina transferred to Konoha, he had already graduated and entered the sealing class, so the two had little interaction, so Natsuhiko was not sure of her identity just now.

Considering that Lord Mito is still alive, this means that Kushina has not yet become the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

I remember that before Kushina became a jinchuriki, she would encounter a kidnapping incident, but I don't know if it happened or not.

At the same time, judging from Kushina's sealing technique trap in the society, her sealing technique level is not as powerful as Natsuhiko imagined.

Is it careless? Or is the current level not as high as it will be in the future?

Maybe we can try it out later.

After sorting out the information about Kushina in his mind, Natsuhiko smiled and stretched out his hand to her.

"We are all novices in teaching, so let's work together to improve the sealing arts class from now on!"

"Okay." Kushina agreed, but did not shake hands with Natsu Yan, just stared at Natsu Yan's hand.

Xia Yan retracted his hand nonchalantly and continued to work hard to find a topic.

"My teaching methods are somewhat different from those of other teachers, so if you have any questions about this course in the future, you can ask me at any time?"

"Is it okay to ask questions that have nothing to do with the course?" Kushina suddenly asked.

"No problem at all."

"There is one."

"Please tell me."

"How long will it take for you to disarm the trap and let me down?"

Kushina, who was still hanging in the air, was about to cry without tears.

____________

ps: According to the timeline I referenced, the time when Kushina was kidnapped should be in Konoha 41, which is the year before the plot of this book begins. However, for the sake of plot arrangement, I postponed it by one

Year, put it behind.

After all, Kushina is the heroine of this book, so we can't let her fall in love with Minato Red Line.

What, you said that it would be more exciting?
