"Now I will teach you how to make sealing scrolls, Toji." my grandmother said.
"These scrolls are very important for Ninjas. Especially for saving space, you can carry even the heaviest things as if they were as light as a feather. Also, you don't need to carry your sword on your waist all the time; you can draw a seal on your hand and carry it in the seal. But remember, I won't help you, and I'll only point out your mistakes. You have to draw this seal yourself. We will start with seals that can carry only one item first." my grandmother said.
"Yes, Grandma." I replied.
My grandmother reached out her hand again, and a blank scroll flew towards her. She opened the scroll and immediately started drawing a seal.
🖌🖌🖌🖌 She quickly drew the shapes of the sealing scroll and placed the scroll in front of me.
"Imitate this and try to do it. We will start with the simplest, which is sealing a single item." my grandmother said.
"Okay, Grandma." I said, nodding.
"I will check on you every day, twice a day. Divide your day into three parts: the first part is your physical training, the second part is your jutsu training, and the third part is seals. I will make a gravity seal for your physical training, and for jutsu training, we will use an advanced chakra paper to test and learn your elements. I will specially check the seals and ensure your progress is flawless. I don't want you wasting your time anymore." my grandmother said.
"I understand, Grandma. I promise I won't disappoint you and will work very hard." I said to my grandmother.
"It doesn't matter if you disappoint me or not. What's important is not wasting your potential and dying meaninglessly to shinobi from other nations without achieving your dreams." my grandmother said.
Hearing her words, my respect for her grew even more. Her voice was filled with kindness, compassion, and love.
I nodded in agreement.
"Good, now try to copy the seal. There's no need to rush, just let it flow. Even if you work hard, if you overdo it, you will only restrict yourself. Stop when you feel it's enough. If you do this job while feeling bored, you will never be good at it." my grandmother said.
I knew these words came from wisdom and experience, and I agreed with her. If you feel bored and lazy while doing something, there is no point in doing it.
I nodded in agreement. Seeing this, my grandmother took a breath, got up, and left the room. My grandfather was still watching me and spoke: "Well done, Toji. Thanks to you, we can continue eating sweets."
God, this old man is still thinking about sweets. Although I love sweets too, I will never love them as much as he does.
My grandfather sighed and said, "Toji, you might think I am very unserious, but my only goal is to live a happy and fun life with you."
I was about to speak, but my grandfather raised his hand and stopped me, saying, "I wanted to have fun with you, go on trips, and stay away from all this Ninja nonsense. But I guess we should wait for that because I see you have set yourself a goal. When you achieve this goal, let's go on a trip."
After saying these words, he stood up and left the room.
"Hah, I have a lot of work to do." I said to myself.
ONE MONTH LATER
Time really flies. It's been a month since I had that conversation with my grandmother, and in this month, I worked as hard as I could.
I can easily make single-item sealing scrolls and shape them with my chakra. I even drew a seal on my hand to carry my sword.
While I still struggle a bit with making multi-item sealing scrolls, I can manage to do it, though shaping them with my chakra is still a bit difficult.
Even though I managed to draw a multi-item sealing scroll on my body, it was very challenging, and I am still working on it.
I have become much better at the release seal. According to my grandmother, only my grandfather and she can match me in the village when it comes to release seals.
Another thing I noticed while making these seals is that the seals here are much more difficult than the ones given to other villages. While talking with my grandmother, the subject came up, and she said they only give other villages simple seals that even children could make.
When I heard this, I laughed a lot because it was really funny. While other villages think Uzushigakure is giving them good seals, my grandmother said they only give them simple seals that even children can make.
I just finished today's last seal and am now resting.
As I said before, if you do something while feeling bored and lazy, there is no point in doing it, and you won't understand anything from it.
Anyway, that's enough for today. I'm going to sleep now, and tomorrow we can start everything again.
THE NEXT DAY
After completing my physical training, I checked my stats with the system.

I haven't been resting for the past month. I worked hard on jutsus and learned a lot of them. It's very frustrating that I only recently learned Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. My grandmother constantly said I shouldn't use it, that it would cause a lot of mental strain, and after a long struggle, I barely got her permission to use it. (The reason the MC didn't know this jutsu is because he never survived until Tobirama invented it.)
Luckily, this jutsu is very simple, so I learned it quickly, and now I can create clones without hand seals. From now on, I will develop much faster because I can easily create 20 clones.
Don't compare me to Naruto; he is the reincarnation of Ashura, has Kurama sealed inside him, and is an Uzumaki, so he has an incredibly large amount of chakra.
But soon, I will have that too. Just wait for me to obtain the Yin seal. I will develop it with my grandmother, and thanks to it, I will have much more chakra and power.
As for the Shinigami summoning scroll, my grandmother says she will give it to me when I become a genin. This is very frustrating.
I am already stronger than most chūnin-level ninjas.
But there's nothing I can do. I will develop faster now because training with my clones will be much more efficient.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
As soon as I performed the jutsu, 20 clones appeared in front of me.
Pointing to the first 10 clones, I said, "You ten will work on jutsus."
Pointing to the other 10 clones, I said, "And you ten will work on seals."
As soon as they heard my words, they dispersed and started working.
I will develop much faster now and quickly reach the top of this world. Just wait, I will show you the power of the Uzumakis.
