The Strongest Hokage Of Konaha - Chapter 9 Learning Hand Seals

“Knot printing is a necessary procedure for the launch of Ninjutsu. It can mobilize the Chakra in the body through the handprint. There are twelve handprints. Each ninjutsu has a corresponding handprint sequence. The ninja must be ordered in a certain period of time. The handprints required by Ninjutsu can successfully mobilize Chakra and successfully launch Ninjutsu,” Sakumo paused for a moment, gave time to Shusuke to digest it and continued: “If there is no smooth completion of handprint or amount of Chakra in the body is Insufficient it will lead to the failure of Ninjutsu.”

“Next I will teach you the basic twelve handprints. You need to remember the gestures and corresponding names of the twelve handprints,” Sakumo reminded: “Are you ready? I am going to start.”

“Ready, uncle Sakumo,” Shusuke said and also took a deep breath.

“Don’t be nervous, I will slow down, and it doesn’t matter if you can’t remember it the first time, I will show you a few today” said Sakumo, who was in front of him and also nervous, to calm himself down.

Seeing that Shusuke had calmed down, Sakumo said: “Then we will start.”

“Attention, the first handprint, ‘Rat’.”

I saw a shot in the middle of the mountain, with the hands flat, the thumbs overlapping, and the left thumb on the top.

Shusuke carefully looked at the handprint of Sakumo and tried imitating it , although it was not easy, the fingers and wrist were quite uncomfortable, but under the guidance of Sakumo, the constant adjustment of details, the ‘Rat’ handprint Shusuke finally was able to do “.

“The the second handprint, ‘Ox’, right hand level, left hand vertical?”

Like that Sakumo taught Shusuke next handprint in a row of Tiger ,Hare ,Dragon , Snake , Horse , Ram ,Monkey , Bird , Dog and Boar in which Shusuke made many mistakes for which Sakumo pointed out them and with constant adjustments the course was successfully completed.

After completing the twelve seals for the first time Shusuke’s wrists were sore and uncomfortable. Seeing Shusuke’s expression Sakumo said ” This is your first time doing the seals so your wrists must be sore . Every practice every training takes it’s time so you should not be in a hurry .Let your wrists rest for awhile and I will massage your hands after every seals training. No secret training ok?.”

Seeing Sakumo’s strict and demanding expression Shusuke nodded hurriedly ” Yes Uncle Sakumo I will listen to you”.

Seeing Shusuke listening to him he said with a satisfied expression ” Now see for few more times the hand seals I show you.”

After saying that Sakumo demonstrated to Shusuke few more times and looked at Shusuke and said ” Now you should practice it . I will guide you if you make a mistake. ”

After that Shusuke closed his eyes tried to remember Sakumo hand prints from the first round of seal to the last one. He realized that he remembers every single print from the start of the training to the end.He was shocked for a while but he was happy that he has got some talent at least. Shusuke had a small smile at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing him smile , Sakumo knocked at his head and said” You are smiling. Do you remember all the seals?”

”

Ah?”Shusuke came out of his thoughts and remembered the 12 seals and said in a confident voice ” Yes Uncle Sakumo, I have mastered the seals correctly. ”

“Oh you are very confident. Then show me the seals.” Sakumo said interestingly.

Shusuke said to Sakumo ” Yes Uncle Sakumo.”

After saying that, he placed his hands flat on his chest, his thumbs overlapped, and his left thumb was on the top. He made the first handprint, and at the same time he reported the name “Rat”.

He did not stop, but also completed the ‘ox’ seal and reported the name, taking time between the seals, completed all the twelve handprints, although basic action is completely correct, but the action is still slightly stiff when it is printed.

Sakumo was deeply surprised by the performance of Shusuke. He thought that Shusuke would make mistakes in some details, but he did not expect Shusuke to even write down the details in one go. Well it seems he has got his parents talent at least.
