"Um, you're going to choose a volcano as the sealing location? To be honest, it's not a good place."
"I'm aware of that," Hiiragi Kagami said, looking at the dormant volcano in front of her with a worried look. "But since the evil spirits are yin and evil monsters, the environment of the volcano can keep the seal intact for a longer time..."
Uzumaki Mokudatsu reached out to touch the mountain, picked up a handful of soil, and frowned as he rubbed it between his fingers. "The soil that makes up the mountain isn't good. We'll have to do a lot more preparation for setting up the Sealing Tags..."
"Should we still use the Four Symbols Seal as the basic Sealing Tag?" Uzumaki Zhi also stepped forward. "We can use layered engraving to link the Sealing Tags and form a larger and stronger sealing formation."
"Isn't the mortise-and-tenon structure better than layered engraving?" Uzumaki Mokudatsu frowned. "This kind of soil isn't suitable for setting up Sealing Tags. If we use the layered method, the mountain might collapse during the fight with the evil spirits. Then, the Sealing Tags might not activate properly."
"What're you scared of? Aren't there still Senju She Lin and Senju Bai Mo? Just let them transform the mountain. After all, that evil spirit is a large chakra creature. Although the mortise-and-tenon structured Sealing Tag fits the terrain, I'm afraid the Sealing Jutsu won't be able to contain it for more than a decade, and it might even be destroyed in an instant."
"Um, you're right. The layered structure is more stable... Alright then," Uzumaki Mokudatsu nodded and looked at the two from the Senju clan. "Senju She Lin, Senju Bai Mo, I'll draw a plan for you two later. You use your chakra to reshape the mountain. Finish the work as soon as possible, and then we'll complete the seal when the yang fire is at its strongest at noon. Um, let me calculate the time... The nearest sunny day is in two days."
"So we need to transform the mountain within a limited time..." Senju She Lin looked up at the small volcano, looking extremely dejected. "It's really a huge project."
Senju Bai Mo also stepped forward and grabbed a handful of soil. His face gradually showed a pained expression. "It'll be really hard to transform this kind of soil to your requirements... Aren't you just using us like beasts of burden?"
Hearing this, Uzumaki Zhi silently looked over. "How could you be beasts of burden?"
Senju Bai Mo looked up and pouted. "Isn't this it? Although we can change the structure of the soil as long as we have enough chakra, there's no need to waste chakra like this, right?"
"Beasts of burden need to be fed. You guys work without being fed. At most, you're just free labor."
Immediately, all the soil in Senju Bai Mo's hand flew onto Uzumaki Zhi without any waste.
But jokes aside, after receiving the plan from Uzumaki Mokudatsu, the two from the Senju clan immediately got to work. They used their chakra to make the loose soil harder and flatter, which made it more suitable for the Witch and the two Uzumaki members to set up the Sealing Jutsu.
Different from the Witch clan, which has passed down techniques mainly focused on spiritual bodies and exorcism, the Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan is all - encompassing.
The Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan can achieve great feats such as moving mountains and filling seas, and can also handle minor tasks like waterproofing eaves. There's nothing they can't do with it, only things you haven't thought of.
What? You say XX has nothing to do with Sealing Jutsu?
Uzumaki Clan: No no no, that's impossible. Sealing Jutsu can do anything.
This is the reaction of Uzumaki clan members when you say something has nothing to do with Sealing Jutsu.
If you really insist that there's something the Sealing Jutsu can't do, the Uzumaki Clan will only give two explanations: 'You're too weak' and 'You don't have enough chakra', just like the Senju's catch - all phrase 'He's an Uchiha'.
However, Sealing Jutsu is a technique that highly depends on chakra control. This makes the Uzumaki clan members a bit... well, nitpicky.
Just like now, Hiiragi Kagami thought the conditions for setting up the spell were perfect, but Uzumaki Mokudatsu kept stopping her. Then he directed Senju She Lin to continuously use earth - attribute chakra to level the ground.
On the other side, Senju Bai Mo was so angry with Uzumaki Zhi that he wanted to quit several times. But he started working again because of Uzumaki Zhi's low - pressure muttering.
Listen to what he's saying: 'Ah, okay, if you don't want to fix it, then don't. Anyway, at worst, it'll just be another failed mission for our Uzumaki and Senju clans. It'll just make the Witch more worried about our two clans and make the Fang Daimyō say that the Senju and Uzumaki are not very reliable.'
Senju Bai Mo: '...Are you even speaking properly?! Who the hell are you threatening? I'll do it! I'll do it exactly as you said, alright!'
While the two Senju were constantly modifying the mountain as required, the two Uzumaki weren't idle either. After directing the Senju to modify the areas Hiiragi Kagami needed, they started carving Sealing Tags on the rock wall from the outside in. They even thought the plan wasn't perfect enough and discussed it with Hiiragi Kagami twice.
Two days later, when everything was finished, the entire volcano cave was covered with Sealing Tags. In comparison, the main spell set up by Hiiragi Kagami became less noticeable. All these Sealing Tags in the cave were due to the two Uzumaki, who got excited while carving the Sealing Tags and decided to have a competition.
Hiiragi Kagami felt a bit embarrassed about this. She could only carefully check her own spell multiple times to avoid any Mondai.
Senju She Lin watched the two Uzumaki, who were still full of energy and discussing how to activate the spell to make it work the fastest. He silently took out some Military Rations Pills and handed them to Senju Bai Mo, asking, 'How's your chakra consumption?'
'Not bad. I should be able to recover by tomorrow noon,' Senju Bai Mo said, moving his stiff shoulders. He picked up two Military Rations Pills and popped them into his mouth. 'Remember to maintain our weapons later.'
'Okay. Don't worry about those two, but we still need to pay attention to the safety of the Witch. How about I take care of the front?'
'Sure, remember not to rush too recklessly -' Senju Bai Mo yawned. 'I'm going to take a little nap. Wake me up at dawn. Damn it, those Uchiha are so lucky. They just easily got a mission.'
"
"It's really too easy on them. How about finding a way to take them out on our way back?" Senju She Lin's expression suddenly darkened. "I heard from Chongxing and the others that they ran into Uchiha Ryo and got provoked by him several times."
"Let's see if there's an opportunity. If so, we'll go for it. Haah — I can't stay awake any longer. I'm gonna catch some z's first. Count on you, She Lin."
"Sure thing. I'll wake you up beforehand if there's any danger." Senju She Lin nodded, then couldn't help but rub his eyes. Looking at the two members of the Uzumaki clan still chatting about jutsu, his expression was subtle. "They really have a lot of energy."
