Fuinjutsu 1...

It was time for my first birthday party. Which was formal and boring. This time only the family members were invited. There was nothing interesting other than meeting a lot of my cousins.

It was around that time I started taking baby steps for talking, And in about the next three months I started crawling, walking, then running. And in the next 2 months, I started talking fluently. Deemed a genius I was given instructors for every known field in the ninja world, History, Leadership, Handwriting, Culture, Etiquette, Science, Geography, and Kanji. And I absorbed all the knowledge like a sponge.

Even though in the ninja world babies are nourished by chakra they do not have free chakra for their use.

So I cannot do anything till I was five except studying non-ninja subjects and do some basic exercises. And their the time wasted really became painful. Even though I tried every method available in my mind from those web novels.

Sometimes I even questioned the being who reincarnated me 'Am I one of those knock-off brand who looked pretty from the outside but does not gives the performance of the mentioned product, as I do not show similar characteristics to those reincarnated before me '.

But there was one thing I hated the most, Kanji.

But how can that be possible? From the day I was born I understood everything perfectly that my relatives spoke so why is it so hard to learn Kanji. I wanted to give it up but the day I went home after bunking a Kanji class, I saw hell up so close to my mom so from the next day I like a good mommy's boy attended all classes till I became well versed in most of the subjects.

TIMESKIP 1.5 YEARS LATER,

Now I am three years old, my birthday was just celebrated two weeks ago and all my relatives have left for their homes. Tomorrow Grandpa Mori would be going home too and so both he and grandpa Shiba took me for a stroll in the park. I was alone with them and even though they both were clan leaders and are quite firm, they are soft and lovable to me.

"Grandpa Mori will you be going tomorrow," I asked making a sad face.

"Yes, Akira but I promise I will visit you more often " replied Akemi dejectedly as he also can't bear to leave his lovely boy.

"Then can you teach me a Fuinjutsu. "as planned I made a puppy face.

"Yeah, I can teach you that as it seems this barbarian seems to be only teaching you mundane stuff." replied Akemi enthusiastically as seemly finding his long-lost son.

But before grandpa, Akemi could put up the proposition Grandpa Kurai vehemently tried to oppose my decision of learning Fuinjutsu not before being cut off by grandpa Akemi " No not now, not --"

"Kurai you can't stop him as you promised me in front of the whole clan that you will not force Akira into not learning Fuinjutsu, what are you going to do? Break the promise" shouted grandpa Akemi.

Seeing that forcing was not an option, he started coaxing me but even after that my decision remained hard as a rock.

So it was decided I will go to stay in the Mori clan till my chakra opening day, and I went to my laughing grandpa's home from my crying grandpa's house.

Since Mori family is a branched Uzumaki family, which also consists of the remaining Uzumaki brought by grandpa Mori and Shiba in IWA. It had the systematics studies from basics to medium to advanced to master to the grandmaster of learning Fuinjutsu.

Even though I will not be able to perform Fuinjutsu, I can learn about the concepts, and later when I acquire chakra I can perform them.

I spent the majority of the year in the guest room turned provisory library. One must marvel at the art of Fuinjutsu. And also at the simplicity of the shinobi people.

A month with sealing manuals and I already understood why Uzumaki's were so-called 'Prodigy seal masters'. The reason why their seals were so feared and effective. The reason why their clan was so feared. The reason why most nowadays 'seal masters' are not very known outside the Mori clan. The reason why sealing art is almost forgotten. The reason why even if someone were able to open Uzumaki scrolls they wouldn't be able to read them. All of those can be summed up by 'special unknown language' and 'creativity'.

Uzumaki had a talent for sealing arts, yes. But their seals are written in a completely different set of symbols. Simplified Kanji and various other symbols and diagrams, if you will, but, not really. It was minimalistic and efficient and it worked well! I also understood I won't be able to use or learn it without a language manual, which is most likely in one of the scrolls locked by blood seals. But I will be able to learn the Uzumaki sealing language from those present in the clan. While I doubt anyone can learn the Uzumaki sealing language without being taught, nowadays few studied Uzumaki seals and translated them into 'generalized' subpar sealing language. The shit that seals masters uses nowadays.

As I never liked learning Kanji even though I learned it roughly, I decided I will not be learning the Uzumaki Sealing language. As it is a mixture of Kanji, symbols, and different diagrams, I thought of making a new sealing language that will be easier and with a more relatable language of my own.

This revelation prompted me to experiment! In just six months, look, and behold, I managed to create a new 'symbolic language' for sealing arts! I used the English alphabet for words and mathematical numbers for equations.

Hah!, the reason why most seals are unbalanced and inefficient is actually that they use Kanji to do equations! Now simple addition and subtraction would be fine. Long and tedious but fine. But can you imagine the length of equations for space or time manipulation in Kanji in a world where people struggle with multiplication? Two words.

--Fuck. It.

No wonder they need kilometer-long scrolls for seals. Sealing arts can be comparable to codes. They are actually kinda like circuits of seals. They manage everything. From getting the needed amount of energy to creating the desired effect. Anyone who actually 'understands' sealing will eventually make some modifications to the language he uses for sealing in order to make it more efficient.

That's the reason sealing is difficult as you have to learn a horrendous language the easy way or invent a language the hard way. That was for language. But what about creativity? Well, we are in a world filled with wars and shinobi. Sealing is called Fuinjutsu. That Jutsu part is the misleading bit there. Most sealers assume that since it's called Jutsu, it should be used for combat, be flashy, and explode. Heck, even storage seals are geared more for combat. They can hold gear, corpses, and so on. But when it comes to food? Their sealing matrix is not made to hold food for a long amount of time. Most seals are various types of sealing tags too.

So yeah, seals can be the next big thing if properly used with creativity...
