On Sunday evening, while Mu Yue was preparing dinner, he casually mentioned that he had mastered the one-finger seal technique.
"Did you master it already? Let me calculate... it's exactly seven days!" Kushina counted on her fingers and realized that Mu Yue had learned it in exactly a week.
"Seven days to learn it, this means you have great talent for sealing jutsu," Kushina said with a smile, happy for Mu Yue.
With this kind of talent, if Mu Yue continues learning, it wouldn't be difficult for him to become a Special Jonin just through sealing jutsu.
"I think I was able to learn it so quickly because you and Sensei Minato taught me so well," Mu Yue said with a smile as he placed the dishes on the table.
This was his way of showing gratitude, as Minato and Kushina had previously joked, calling him "Mu Yue-sensei."
"Hehe, of course. Minato's sealing techniques were all taught by me, hand by hand," Kushina said proudly.
After getting close to Minato, Kushina wanted him to become stronger, so she often dragged him to practice sealing techniques together.
Thanks to her careful guidance, Minato had become an expert in sealing jutsu and had mastered many advanced techniques.
"Maybe I really have a talent for teaching," Kushina thought, believing she had a knack for being a teacher.
She had taught sealing jutsu to only two people—Minato and Mu Yue. Minato had become a sealing jutsu master, and Mu Yue had learned the one-finger seal in just a week.
"Sensei Kushina, stop talking. Let's eat," Minato joked as he served Kushina some food.
"Student Minato, who told you to talk to the teacher like that? For punishment, you should serve me some food," Kushina said, mimicking the tone of a ninja school teacher.
"Alright," Minato replied with a helpless smile, playing along and serving Kushina food.
Mu Yue, sitting nearby, felt a bit awkward. Even though it was his house, he had the urge to grab his bowl and eat somewhere else.
"If you keep doing this, I'll finish all the food myself," Mu Yue said as he switched to "eating mode," rapidly grabbing food and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Eh!" Seeing the food slowly disappear from the plates, Kushina and Minato stopped their role-playing and started eating in earnest.
Soon, the three of them had finished everything on the table. Afterward, Kushina and Minato went to wash the dishes.
Since they frequently ate at Mu Yue's place, they would often help out with other chores like washing dishes and vegetables, and Mu Yue would do the same when he visited their house.
After washing the dishes, Kushina suggested Mu Yue review the one-finger seal and the sealing knowledge on the scrolls. In a few days, she planned to teach him the three-finger seal.
"The three-finger seal is an advanced version of the one-finger seal. With your talent, you should be able to learn it in about a month," Kushina said.
"Are there four-finger and five-finger seals?" Mu Yue asked, feeling the naming was a bit careless.
"No, there's no four-finger seal, only a five-finger seal," Kushina replied.
It turned out there really was a five-finger seal.
"If you can master the five-finger seal, learning most sealing techniques won't be difficult. Also, the five-finger seal is part of a high-level sealing technique," Kushina explained.
After hearing this, Mu Yue understood the significance of the one-finger and three-finger seals.
"What do you guys want to eat tomorrow? I'll prepare the ingredients in advance," Mu Yue asked.
Even though they had become very close, Kushina and Minato had taught him sealing techniques, so he wanted to show his appreciation.
"Braised pork," Kushina replied immediately.
"Stir-fried mushrooms," Minato thought for a moment and answered.
Mu Yue expected Kushina's response, but for Minato, he decided to remind him to cook the mushrooms thoroughly and leave a Flying Thunder God mark at the Konoha hospital.

On Monday, Zangzi Tie arrived at school early.
He skillfully placed a novel on the desk and began reading. It was the last week before the final exams, which would take place next Monday. The exams would span three days, and then they would have a break.
As Shinyue Outa was about to arrive, Zangzi Tie closed his book and flipped open a novel.
"Zitie, good morning!" Shinyue Outa greeted Zangzi Tie with a smile. "Still reading novels?"
"Yes, with just a week left before exams, studying at this point is pointless. It only makes me anxious. I'd rather relax," Zangzi Tie replied with a smile.
"By the way, Outa, I found a great game recently. Check it out and see if you like it," Zangzi Tie said, pulling a square metal box from his bag.
This was a popular game called "Backgammon," which he had learned about from various sources. It was said to be incredibly addictive, and once you played it, you would want to play more.
Since Shinyue Outa liked games, Zangzi Tie thought he might enjoy this one for a week.
"Backgammon? I've played it once at a relative's house. It was really fun. Zitie, you're such a great guy," Shinyue Outa said, touched.
He hadn't expected Zangzi Tie to remember the lie he told about not studying and bought him a gift.
"Recently, I bought a lot of good ninja novels, but I can't finish them all. I'll give you three books," Shinyue Outa said with a smile as he handed the novels to Zangzi Tie.
Though their brotherly bond was important, Shinyue Outa's priority was still winning the heart of the neighbor's sister.
Since Zangzi Tie liked novels, he decided to let him read them for a week. After all, Zangzi Tie himself had said he wanted to relax for a week.
"These are some of the latest bestsellers," Shinyue Outa said with a smile.
Zangzi Tie was deeply moved, as he knew Shinyue Outa had paid attention to his needs.
"There's no such thing as too many novels. The good ones just make you want more," Zangzi Tie thought.
"I've also collected a variety of games. Outa, you can have them," Zangzi Tie said, concerned that one game might not be enough. He handed Outa a piece of paper with a list of over a dozen games, both indoor and outdoor.
"For Meihui's sake, I'm sorry, Outa," Zangzi Tie thought to himself.
"Shizune, do you want a novel to relax? I see you've been studying a lot. With all these books, I can't finish them in time," Zangzi Tie asked Shizune, who was behind them.
"I've got games too. You can have them," Shinyue Outa said quickly.
But to their regret, Shizune shook his head, politely refusing.
"Aren't you guys good brothers anymore? You asked Shizune and not me?" Hongdou said with her hands on her hips, glaring at the two.
Zangzi Tie and Shinyue Outa were speechless.
They were worried that if Hongdou kept this up, their scores would drop even further than before.
"Uh, Hongdou, maybe you should review," Zangzi Tie said, unable to hold back.
Hongdou wasn't a threat to him, but he was more worried about her performing poorly.
"Review? Isn't it better if I don't review? Did you review?" Hongdou asked in confusion.
Naturally, Zangzi Tie couldn't admit it and simply shook his head.
"Then Outa, did you review?" Hongdou asked again.
"No," Shinyue Outa replied, shaking his head.
"Then that's fine," Hongdou said, satisfied.
Zangzi Tie and Shinyue Outa exchanged glances before, as per Hongdou's wishes, sharing the novels and games with her.
"Good brothers should be like this," Hongdou said, patting their shoulders with a happy smile.
