"So, today we're having a practical class." On the Ninja Academy's training ground, Orochimaru looked at the students of the Sealing Team in front of her, bit her finger, and quickly formed hand signs with both hands, completing them in an instant.
"Summoning Technique!" Bang—!
Amidst the smoke, a massive figure appeared.
This is Lord Orochimaru's Summoning Beast!
The children's eyes widened, nervously watching the figure with its neck raised high in the smoke.
As the smoke cleared, a gigantic snake with brown patterns on its body appeared before their eyes.
"Wow!" The children gasped, looking at the enormous snake.
"It's so big!" "Such a huge snake! Are we really going to be okay?" "Idiot, this is Teacher Orochimaru's Summoning Beast! There won't be any problems!" The children chattered, and after their initial fear, they became eager to try.
Big Sister Orochimaru's summoned snake is so cool! Not like the slimy Slug Big Sister summons.
Nawaki's eyes lit up as he looked at the snake Orochimaru summoned, then thought of his sister's Summoning Beast and wrinkled his little face with visible disdain.
It's different from before… Uchiha Hikari looked at this snake, which was clearly very afraid of Orochimaru. It wasn't like that plump Blue Snake; its size wasn't as large as the Blue Snake, and its strength also seemed inferior to the Blue Snake.
Clap—!
Orochimaru clapped her hands, and the snake beside her trembled, obediently coiling its body, not daring to move.
When it was in the snake's nest, it had seen how this human beside it had defeated all the snakes in the snake's nest, even the most powerful Manda and Shinza were subdued by her. It, a mere minion, had better cooperate obediently.
The children quieted down and looked at Orochimaru.
"Alright, this is your practical objective. Use the Sealing Technique I taught you earlier to try and seal its movements. Don't worry, it won't harm you; it will only break free from the Sealing Technique you cast." Orochimaru patted the body of the snake beside her, her gaze sweeping over each child's face. "Now, you will work in teams of three for this practice. Before that, I want to remind you that the Three-Pronged Seal is a seal composed of three Chakra nature transformations, requiring two elemental weaknesses to be present."
The Three-Pronged Seal was a Sealing Technique developed by Orochimaru, referencing the Four Symbols Sealing and incorporating Chakra nature transformation and elemental weaknesses.
Its sealing effect was far inferior to the Four Symbols Sealing, but its advantage lay in its lower learning difficulty. And for the students of the Sealing Team, working together in groups of three made the learning difficulty even lower.
What was originally an A-rank Sealing Technique now only had a C-rank difficulty, or more specifically, C-minus difficulty.
The students quickly formed teams, eagerly attempting to seal the snake's movements with the Three-Pronged Seal. It was a chaotic scene, with explosions frequently ringing out.
Students from other classes at the Ninja Academy crowded at the windows, intensely watching the Sealing Team's practical class on the training ground. They had long known about a special class in the school, a class specifically for teaching Sealing Technique and training Sealing Ninja.
"Hey, get back to class." The homeroom teachers of various classes looked at the children who were more interested in the Sealing Team's practical class on the training ground, feeling very helpless. If they didn't have to teach their own students, they would have gone to watch the Sealing Team's practical class too.
How could Sealing Technique explode? Shouldn't you be forming a demolition team instead?
Orochimaru raised a hand to her forehead. She couldn't understand why the Three-Pronged Seal would explode when it failed. Could it be their extraordinary talent?
Fortunately, it wasn't a complete failure, but the poor snake, which served as the children's practical target, suffered.
After the practical class, Orochimaru felt a bit bad about sending it back to Ryūchi Cave just like that. She fed it a few soldier pills and a rebirth pill as compensation for its hard work before sending it back to Ryūchi Cave.
"Orochimaru, that was a good practical class!"
Uzumaki Mito walked over to Orochimaru with a beaming smile.
"Please don't make fun of me. I still haven't figured out why the Sealing Technique failed and exploded."
Orochimaru stroked her chin, pondering why the Three-Pronged Seal's failure would result in an explosion. This was something even she, as the developer of the Three-Pronged Seal, didn't anticipate.
"Perhaps the explosion was caused by the collision of Chakra with different nature transformations when the Sealing Technique failed?"
Uzumaki Mito offered her opinion.
"Indeed, the Three-Pronged Seal is a Sealing Technique that incorporates Chakra nature transformation and elemental counters. I had forgotten that point."
Orochimaru suddenly understood. She hadn't thought in that direction before. When she developed the Three-Pronged Seal, with her mastery of Chakra nature transformation, even if it failed, an explosion wouldn't occur. This led her to never consider that possibility.
The children still attending the Ninja Academy were not proficient in Chakra nature transformation. If she hadn't taught them the Three-Pronged Seal, they might not have even encountered Chakra nature transformation even after becoming Genin.
If it weren't for the fact that she developed the Three-Pronged Seal, she would have definitely noticed this point. Precisely because the Three-Pronged Seal was developed by her, she subconsciously overlooked it.
"Grandma!"
Nawaki ran to Uzumaki Mito's side and said with longing, "When I go to the Ninja Academy, I want to attend classes in the Sealing Team too!"
"Nawaki, you're more suited for a regular class."
Uzumaki Mito didn't want Nawaki to become a Sealing Ninja. Although she did have the idea of training Nawaki in Sealing Technique, she hoped even more that Nawaki could develop in all areas.
As for Tsunade, she had already given up on her long ago.
"Why? I want to take Older Sister Orochimaru's classes too!"
Nawaki thought Older Sister Orochimaru's classes were very interesting. If he also took classes in the Sealing Team, he could attend Older Sister Orochimaru's classes.
