Shin took out the Forbidden Scroll and the other sealed scroll he had acquired.
These scrolls weren’t easily opened. They were protected by seals.
An ordinary person wouldn’t be able to access the Jutsu within, but Shin was different. He was an Uzumaki.
Mito had taught him everything she knew about Fūinjutsu.
“Sealing Jutsu!”
Shin easily dispelled the rudimentary seals and opened the Forbidden Scroll.
It contained many Water Release Jutsu.
“What’s that?”
Kushina and Mikoto approached, their eyes fixed on the large scroll.
“This is one of my trophies from Kirigakure: their Forbidden Scroll. Unfortunately, there aren’t many Jutsu worth learning.”
Shin skimmed through the scroll. The strongest Jutsu was probably the Second Mizukage’s Steaming Danger Tyranny.
This Jutsu was known as the Infinite Explosion Ninjutsu. It created clones with the appearance of children, formed from oil and water. These clones were fast, agile, and could explode repeatedly.
The outer layer of the clones was made of oil, while the inside was filled with water. Once the clone moved, the oil would heat up rapidly, causing the water to evaporate and create a steam explosion.
The clone would then shrink and absorb the surrounding water vapor to create more explosions, an endless cycle.
But this powerful Jutsu had a drawback: it weakened the user. The Second Tsuchikage’s body was covered in bandages because he had been burned by this Jutsu during a battle with the Second Mizukage.
Besides this Jutsu, there was also the Hōzuki Clan’s Water Gun Jutsu, a B-rank, and the A-rank Water Style: Great Waterfall Jutsu.
There was also a terrifying Genjutsu from the First Mizukage: Mirage. But it required the summon, the clam, to use.
So, no matter how powerful it was, it was useless to Shin.
Besides, Shin didn’t need it. His Genjutsu was far superior, thanks to his Mangekyō Sharingan and Five Senses Control.
“See if there’s anything you want to learn.”
Shin handed the scroll to Kushina and Mikoto.
He was disappointed. Kirigakure was so weak. There wasn’t a single Jutsu that caught his eye.
Perhaps his standards were too high. He was looking for Jutsu with immense destructive power; ordinary Jutsu didn’t interest him.
While Kushina and Mikoto looked through the scroll, Shin unsealed the other scroll.
It contained money.
A lot of money.
Ten billion Ryo, to be exact. It must have been Kirigakure’s budget. Shin had inadvertently stolen their funds.
“Looks like we won’t have to worry about money anymore.”
Shin smiled faintly. Kushina, however, tossed the Forbidden Scroll aside and hugged the pile of money.
“Kushina, you’re such a money-grubber,” Shin teased.
“This is all mine now!” Kushina declared, sealing the money back into the scroll.
“…”
“Kirigakure must be furious,” Mikoto said worriedly.
Shin knew what she was worried about. “Don’t worry, Mikoto. No matter how much they investigate, they won’t find me. And by the time they do, it’ll be too late.”
No one would suspect him. His age was his best disguise.
And he had used the Transformation Jutsu and a mask.
By the time Kirigakure discovered the truth, it would be too late. He would be strong enough to crush them.
Even if they found out, they wouldn’t be able to do anything. They’d have to swallow their anger and accept their loss.
“Let’s go to the main island of the Land of Water,” Shin said.
“Shouldn’t we leave the Land of Water? Kirigakure won’t let this go,” Mikoto said.
They had stolen the Forbidden Scroll; it was too dangerous to stay.
“It would be a shame to leave just like that. Let’s explore the Land of Water and broaden our horizons.”
“I agree!” Kushina chimed in.
Seeing Mikoto’s worry, Shin smiled. “Don’t worry, Mikoto. Even if we’re discovered, I can get us out of here.”
Yomotsu Hirasaka ignored distance. He could teleport them back to Konoha, though the Chakra cost would be immense.
“By the way, do you want to learn any of the Jutsu in the Forbidden Scroll?” Shin asked.
“I don’t have Water Release Chakra. Most of the Jutsu in there are Water Release,” Mikoto said.
She was a genius, possessing Wind, Lightning, and Yin Release.
Chakra Natures could be acquired through training, but it was a long and arduous process.
Having multiple innate Chakra Natures was definitely an advantage.
“I’ll try to learn some,” Kushina said.
She had Wind, Water, and Yang Release.
She could learn Water Jutsu, and she had taken an interest in the Steaming Danger Tyranny.
It was an S-rank Jutsu. Seeing Shin use the Rasenshuriken, she understood the power of S-rank Jutsu.
Their destructive power and range were terrifying, even on the battlefield.
Ordinary Shinobi had limited Chakra. Even if they learned an S-rank Jutsu, they could only use it as a trump card. But Kushina, as an Uzumaki, had enough Chakra to spam S-rank Jutsu.
Of course, that was in the future. Currently, her Chakra reserves weren’t that vast.
Once she reached Kage level, her Chakra would rival that of a Tailed Beast. Perhaps not the Nine-Tails, but at least the Eight-Tails.
Shin used Yomotsu Hirasaka to transport them to the main island of the Land of Water.
There were people here.
“The Land of Water doesn’t seem as prosperous as the Land of Fire,” Kushina observed, looking at the houses and the people’s attire.
It was clearly a step down from the Land of Fire.
In terms of wealth, no other nation could compare to the Land of Fire, thanks to its fertile lands and strategic location.
