Chapter 78: Fuinjutsu

Hataki said "You have your basics down so we will progress on that. Since you are so curious about the explosion seal, we would start with it."

Ken was excited about learning about the explosion seal. As far as he knew they were the most destructive seals and easiest to make. The second Hokage even had an S-rank jutsu that multiplied explosion seals.

Even Konan had a similar kind of jutsu but Ken doubted whether he could do it since he did not have Konan's kekkei genkai to create paper but then again he could buy paper.

'That's too far in the future. I should first learn how to make an explosion seal.' Ken started listening to Hataki's lesson.

"To make an explosive tag or a paper bomb, You need to draw this symbol. Remember to imbue equal amounts of chakra in all of your strokes. Remember while this seal is easy to make, it can be dangerous even if you make the tiniest of mistakes. That's why you would first practice drawing the symbol without applying any chakra into it. When you can do it at least fifty times without making a mistake, then only you can start imbuing chakra into it and make a true explosive tag." Hataki said while at the same time showing Ken how to make an explosion tab.

"Do you have any questions?"

"Can't we imbue a large amount of chakra to make the resulting explosion a lot stronger?" Ken asked curious if he could make an explosion as big as the tailed beast bomb with just a paper bomb.

"In theory, yes, you can but even the best quality paper out there would not be able to handle much of the chakra and would crumble. Don't even try to do this because if the paper crumbles with the explosion seal on it, you would likely crumble too." He chuckled at the end as Ken gulped.

"This is not the only reason. Not only the paper but even the explosion symbol itself can't handle much chakra."

'It sounds reasonable enough.' Ken accepted the explanation and swore not to add more than the normal amount required to make an explosion seal.

"Since you don't have any more questions, Let's go to the nearby river. It would be easy to dispose of a faulty explosion seal in the river and we would not be causing much damage. While we walk there I would tell you about the other seals that are important for you to learn." Hataki said as both of them started walking to the river while Ken listened to Hataki talking about different uses of fuinjutsu.

"Fuinjutsu is the most versatile, it can be used for creating traps for enemies, creating barriers, hell they can be used to create a barrier that detects any trespassers wanting to enter or leave the village not from the village gates."

Ken was excited to learn all these seals. Barrier-type fuinjutsu seals were awesome in the anime. Four Violet Flames Formation was used by Orochimaru and his goons, the Sound 4. Four Crimson Ray Formation was used by the four Hokage to trap the ten tails, they all were awesome.

Fuinjutsu would also be helpful if he ever dealt with tailed beasts and jinchurikis. If he ever had to babysit Naruto and he went on a rampage, Fuinjutsu would be helpful to seal the nine-tails power. Not to forget, it would also help him seal any reanimated shinobi that he might face in the future. Both Orochimaru and Kabuto loved playing with the dead in the anime.

Well at least Kabuto would not dabble in reanimation jutsu, Ken would make sure of that.

'How could such a pure kid become so evil because of difference in circumstances?' Ken thought about Kabuto's circumstances that led him to become the necromancer of this world.

There was another fuinjutsu seal that he wanted to learn. One that would come in helpful when Itachi or Sasuke ever became his enemies. The Fire Seal that Jiraiya used to seal Itachi's Amaterasu in a scroll. He even can use it to seal other fire-style jutsus if necessary.

But all of Ken's excitement and plans were shattered by Hataki's next words.

"But we would be learning none of that for a few years. You are still a beginner. You need to learn a lot of things before you start to learn about these seals. Fuinjutsu is all about learning things step by step."

"So what are we going to learn?" Ken asked

"Besides Explosion seals, You would start by learning how to detect the seals so that you can maybe break them or find what they do or escape a trap consisting of fuinjutsu seals. If you can't detect a seal or don't know what the seal does then you have already lost half the fight with the enemy. Apart from this, I would also teach you to hide the seals. Hiding the seals is important so that the enemy can't detect it."

"But you might think that if you can hide the seals then surely the enemy fuinjutsu user could too. Well, You are correct. You just have to be better at hiding and detecting the seal than your counterpart. Now start making the explosion seals." Hikari said while tossing him a bunch of paper as they reached the riverside.
