Jiro grinned maniacally on top of a tree. His plan was going off without any problems. The Genin were trying to beat the other duo of Genin while attempting to hit the low flying eagles with some projectiles. Unfortunately for the Genin, the eagles were very well trained in evasion. Kunais and shurikens flew through the air, but none of them managed to hit the eagles.

Jiro wasn"t just enjoying the pain of the Genin, he was taking notes on how each student tended to fight and whether they tried to protect the eagles even if it didn"t seem necessary. Whether the student fought aggressively, pa.s.sively, or tended to counterattack, Jiro noted it all down. the Genin were also aware that Jiro was taking notes on them.

With his glowing red eyes and piercing glare, it was easy to feel when Jiro"s gaze fell on them. An involuntary shiver was usually the most indicative of it. Of course, Jiro was capable of keeping a gaze without alerting them, but he kept the extra pressure on them in hopes of seeing something different or unique.

Like normal, a student threw a kunai up, however, Jiro noticed that there was something different about the kunai. There were many tiny pieces of stone tied with ninja wire to create a net around the kunai. As soon as the eagle began to dodge away from the kunai, the partner threw a stone at the kunai to make the net activate while the Genin who threw the kunai threw many more shurikens to force the eagle in the direction of the net. Unfortunately, the plan failed as the eagle formed an aura of wind Chakra around its body in order to shred the ninja wire.

Jiro also saw other interesting ways the Genin tried to capture the eagles. As he continued to scribble in his notes, Jiro felt a faint gaze on himself. The gaze was not familiar so Jiro turned his head to make eye contact with whoever was spying on him. It was a little girl with bright red hair. She was probably an Uzumaki, but Jiro didn"t put much importance into her ident.i.ty.

Seeing that she was spying on him, Jiro didn"t mind messing with her. The little girl cringed as the burning red eye glared at her. She hid behind a tree in order to avoid the uncomfortable feeling of having a person watching her with intense scrutiny. Jiro looked back at the group of Genin once more, but he wasn"t taking notes anymore.

He was seeing the same thing over and over with just slight variations and the sight of the Uzumaki girl reminded him that he wanted to learn Fuinjutsu. The Genin were dismissed after a while and Jiro began to walk to the place where most seal masters of the village were located. He pa.s.sed by many stores that were selling fish and other products from near the river, but Jiro couldn"t find any of his favorite sweet snacks.

As he began to approach the buildings where the seal masters lived, Jiro noticed a big difference in where they lived. Seal masters had some really strange looking homes as some seemed to be covered in seals. Some looked like a small shack while others were just a door that presumably led to some underground living s.p.a.ce.


----------------------------

In the room of a seal master, Jiro noted that all of the furniture and other belongings of the seal master was covered in ink or paper. The messiness of the room took away some of his confidence in the ability of the seal master. Said seal master was currently writing away on a piece of paper noting the particular details about Jiro and Ezekiel.

"Is there anything else that you want me and my fellow seal masters to know?"

"No there isn"t, but I am interested in learning about Fuinjutsu."

The man nodded at the reply of Jiro, but didn"t reply at all. He just continued to scribble away. Jiro quickly caught on to the scheme that was going on. It seemed that no-one would be willing to teach him or if they did, it would probably not be as thorough as he wanted. Having taught himself some of his own Jutsu, Jiro was already confident in his own ability. Seeing that he had a Mangekyo Sharingan, Jiro let loose and began to scan through the books that seemed particularly important.

When the seal master finally finished writing everything, a shocking sight was exposed. Jiro was quickly skimming through multiple books and scrolls all on sealing with his Mangekyo Sharingan active. Shocked, the man could only muster a choking sound that alerted Jiro to the man"s awareness of the situation he was in.

" Please. Don"t tell anyone that you got this information on sealing from me. Please."

"Don"t worry about it. This is a secret between us. I also won"t hold grudges on you guys for trying to keep me away from Fuinjutsu."

The man sighed a sound of relied, but it was short lived. A shadow clone came out from the seal master"s secret bas.e.m.e.nt carrying much more scrolls and books which were on sealing. However, these scrolls were on the research the man was doing himself. It wasn"t his life"s work, but it was incredibly precious to him. He was about to lunge forward, but another clone was suddenly holding a kunai to his neck.

Jiro put down the scroll he finished scanning with his Mangekyo Sharingan and smiled.

"I told you, don"t worry about it. This is a secret between us. Right?"

A nod was all that Jiro got. Satisfied, Jiro finished scanning the rest of the scrolls and books with his Mangekyo Sharingan. When Jiro left the house of the seal master with a cheerful wave, he only got a pitiful hand gesture back, but he didn"t care. With the sun beginning to set, Jiro rushed back towards the house he was staying in and finally sat down on a chair before beginning to digest what he had memorized from the seal master.

It was bright into the morning when Jiro finally got off the chair. His stomach was growling as the process of digesting the information he got was very calorie consuming. However, Jiro knew that he needed to arrive to the academy in order to teach the Genin. He walked out and on the way to the academy, he bought a couple of snacks off the road to fill himself for now.

--------------

Kushina peeked from behind the roof of the academy. She had successfully escaped from her guards once more and was observing the interesting new person who had arrived. She knew that he was incredibly strong as everyone respected and feared him, but she was curious about the very young teenager.

He was able to spot her once more and the sight of the red eyes pulsating with power sent shivers down Kushina"s spine, but she was really curious about the person named Jiro. Unbeknownst to her, several guards were nearby and keeping an eye on her p.r.o.ne form. Despite wanting to grab her and bring her back to learn more sealing techniques, the guards didn"t dare to move either. Jiro"s vision was on both them as well as her and they didn"t want to anger him on accident.

In her five year old mind, the best way to gauge how someone was feeling was by provoking a reaction from them. Thus, a sizable rock was thrown from the roof of the academy towards Jiro. As the rock whistled downwards, several sharp eyed students noticed the projectile. However, they weren"t worrying about the rock. They had all experienced Jiro"s unfathomable vision and all figured that it wouldn"t hurt even if he got hit by it.

Other student"s who didn"t noticed the projectile continued to throw kunai and other weaponry. As two kunai collided, a kunai was sent hurtling towards Jiro, but with a flick of the wrist, a shuriken was sent whistling forward and collided with the stray kunai. The kunai got repelled backwards while the shuriken flew into the air and behind Jiro to collide with the rock, splitting it into multiple pieces.

Kushina grinned and was about to throw another rock, but she was quickly taken away by her guards who were worried about her safety as she kept on seeking death. Meanwhile, Jiro was still preoccupied with the issue of the seals. Luckily today was the day before the weekend so Jiro still had more time to digest the knowledge he had gotten yesterday.
