Naruto: Mixed Heritage

Chapter 45-Resonance

Renjiro sat cross-legged on the floor of his room with the book Kushina had given him laid out in front. It was a treasure trove of knowledge, containing a myriad of seals along with the Jinchuriki's personal insights on them. As he perused the pages, Renjiro's eyes were drawn to various symbols and intricate diagrams of the seals.

The notes scribbled in the margins by Kushina added a layer of understanding, providing context to the symbols and shedding light on the practical aspects of deploying these seals.

Renjiro had gotten a rest day from his daily training with Riku and the team after Riku was informed of what had occurred. Although he had already recovered, they decided not to risk it.

Having a whole day of rest was new to Renjiro. Ever since he could remember, he was always training in one way or another. He decided that this day would not be any different.

Taking up the book Kushina had given him the previous day, he wanted to hasten his progress in Fuinjutsu so that he would be skilled enough to learn some of the techniques Kushina talked about the previous day.

'So If I master these seals, I would be considered a basic Fuinjutsu expert?'

Renjiro pondered. Fuinjutsu practitioners were recognized and classified based on their mastery and proficiency in the art. The hierarchy begans with the Basic rank. At this stage, individuals familiarize themselves with the fundamental principles, learning basic seals and their applications. Mastery of these essential building blocks forms the foundations for further progression and ranks.

As they progress, they advance to the Intermediate rank. Here, individuals refine their understanding of Fuinjutsu, exploring more intricate combinations and applications. Intermediate fuinjutsu users can craft seals with increased precision and efficiency, enabling them to address a broader range of scenarios. This stage marks a pivotal point where practitioners transition from novices to more capable and versatile users of fuinjutsu.

After that, the Advanced rank represents a significant leap in a fuinjutsu user's expertise. At this stage, practitioners command an extensive repertoire of seals, demonstrating mastery over complex techniques. Their understanding of the intricate interplay between symbols and chakra reaches a level where they can tackle formidable challenges with finesse.

The Master rank is reserved for those who have attained unparalleled proficiency and insight into fuinjutsu. Masters exhibit a profound understanding of the art, crafting seals with unprecedented intricacy and efficiency. Their expertise extends beyond the practical application of seals, encompassing theoretical knowledge and the ability to innovate within the field.

At the pinnacle of fuinjutsu expertise stands the Grandmaster rank. Those who achieve this prestigious status are revered as living legends. Grandmasters possess an encyclopedic knowledge of seals, effortlessly creating and deciphering even the most intricate designs. Grandmasters often become mentors to other elite fuinjutsu users and play a vital role in shaping the future of this ancient and powerful discipline. Case in point Kushina.

'I already know the Storage seal, so that leaves the Chakra drain, Paralysis and Explosive tag seals. But knowing them would not just cut it. I need to be able to inscribe even in my sleep.'

Every seal was an amalgamation of six distinct components, each playing a crucial role in the functionality and intricacy of the seal. At the heart of this matrix was jutsu shiki, the primary and central component that defines the nature and purpose of the seal.

It was different for every seal as it contained the basic intent of the seal. Storage for storage seals, explosion for explosive tags and so on. It was the most important part of a seal matrix. The unique signature of a seal.
