🕑 Added 2024-12-27 12:25:13 +0000 UTC"Listen," Reiji said, his voice calm but firm. "I don't care how long it takes for you to learn this."
"I also don't care how good your Fuinjutsu skills are. What I need is for you to learn everything I teach you, without exception. Do you understand?"
The five of them answered in unison, "Yes!"
Their tone was full of enthusiasm, though some still seemed a bit confused.
Reiji nodded and then handed them a few small books.
The covers of the books were simple, unadorned, with only the Uzumaki clan symbol in the center.
"This is the book you need to study," Reiji said as he distributed the books. "No need to rush. Study it well. Remember everything that's in there, and be ready to use it when the time comes."
As Reiji finished speaking, one of the women among them raised her hand.
The woman looked nervous, her cheeks slightly flushed.
She was around 27 or 28 years old, with her hair tied in twin pigtails, dark gray-black eyes typical of the Uzumaki clan, and wearing traditional hakama with a white top and bright red bottoms.
"Excuse me! May I ask a question?" the woman said, her voice sounding hesitant but polite.
Reiji nodded, gesturing for her to continue.
"Uh... sorry, may I know what we will be learning? I'm sorry! I didn't mean to doubt or offend, it's just—" The woman spoke in a stammer, her face showing clear anxiety.
Reiji smiled slightly, recognizing the panic in her.
"It's fine," Reiji said casually.
"What will you be learning? Good question." Reiji paused for a moment, ensuring all attention was on him.
"You will be learning to manage the defense of Uzushio Village." Reiji's answer left them all silent.
Their faces clearly showed confusion.
"Village defense?" one of the men muttered softly, loud enough for everyone to hear.
Reiji only smiled faintly. "Exactly. And I will make sure that when you're done, this village will have defenses that even a Jinchuriki would have difficulty breaking through."
His words hung in the air, instilling curiosity and awe in their hearts.
Although they didn't fully understand what Reiji meant, their enthusiasm slowly began to turn into determination.
"Now," Reiji continued, "start with that book. And remember, I don't need the fastest or the greatest. I just need those who are willing to learn."
With that, the lesson began, leading these five people down a path they never could have imagined.

Meanwhile, while the five people assigned by Reiji were busy studying the Fuinjutsu books, Reiji, along with Keito and a group of Anbu, left Uzushio Village.
Though still within the island, their destinations were specific locations outside the village.
Keito, as the Head of the Uzumaki Clan, decided to join this journey, despite initially being rejected by Reiji.
Reiji felt it was strange to see the clan leader involved in such matters, but in the end, he gave in to Keito's wishes.
At one of the remote locations, Reiji stopped his steps.
Reiji took a black iron rod from one of the large bags carried by the Anbu and carefully drove it into the ground.
After making sure the rod stood firm, Reiji took out a small bottle from his bag.
From the bottle, Reiji poured dark red liquid onto a brush.
It wasn’t ordinary ink, but blood from one of the mutated animals developed in the Breeding Room.
Although Reiji had created modern writing tools like pencils and pens, this brush was more suitable for the task at hand: drawing Fuinjutsu patterns directly onto the ground.
With swift, precise movements, Reiji began painting intricate patterns around the black iron rod.
After a few minutes, Reiji stood up and looked at his work.
