In the blink of an eye, Mo Chen had spent three months in the Ninja School. Today the entire Ninja School was on holiday because it was the day Minato Namikaze took office.
Under the attention of the whole village, Minato, wearing a divine robe, began his speech.
Mo Chen didn't listen. Instead, he looked back and forth among the crowd to see if there were any cards that could be picked up.
Suddenly, a pair of cold eyes collided with Mo Chen's. Looking closely, it was Orochimaru.
After glancing at Mo Chen and then at Minato, who was giving a speech, Orochimaru quietly turned around and left.
"Minato becomes the Fourth Hokage, and Orochimaru's defection won't be long!"
Staring at Orochimaru's departing back, Mo Chen felt a little regretful. Although he wanted to stop Orochimaru from defecting, he did not have enough strength and had to give up.
After a busy day, Minato officially became the Fourth Hokage, and Mo Chen's status immediately rose a lot.
After the inauguration ceremony, Mo Chen's life returned to normal again, and he went back and forth between the ninja school and home every day.
Shinobi: The Sky of the Ninja had already been sold, and it could earn Mo Chen over a million taels every month—and that was just in Konoha. When it spread to the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and elsewhere, the income would skyrocket.
In addition to this, Mo Chen thought of his spatial talent and wanted to develop the portable space described in fantasy novels.
This inspiration came from Kushina.
He had accidentally entered the Nine-Tails space. Kushina had sealed the Nine-Tails in her body, and there was a dark space where the beast was imprisoned.
This was clearly an independent space. Otherwise, the Nine-Tails would be in chakra form, not a physical fox.
However, Kushina's physical body could not enter this space, which meant it wasn't refined enough to store items.
Based on this idea, Mo Chen began to learn sealing techniques with Kushina.
But after some time, Mo Chen discovered that his sealing talent was very low. He didn't learn even one technique on his own, but instead picked up several from Kushina.
From then on, whenever they trained, Mo Chen would make Kushina demonstrate multiple times so he could pick up the sealing technique cards she dropped.
It took a whole year, and after thousands of demonstrations by Kushina, Mo Chen finally learned most of the sealing techniques. He then began to construct his own portable space.
The first step was to choose the location of the seal. For instance, Kushina—and in the future, Naruto—imprisoned the Nine-Tails near the belly button.
After further research, Mo Chen decided to place the seal on the palm of his right hand, so he could access it at any time.
With Kushina's help, he applied the Bagua Seal on his palm, forming a space similar to the Nine-Tails' prison.
After that, Mo Chen added the Yin Seal's chakra control mechanism to the Bagua Seal, allowing the space to open and close at will.
As long as chakra flowed into his right palm, he could open and close it with just a thought.
The final step required his spatial talent to open up a true pocket dimension within the Bagua Seal.
For this, he needed Minato's help. Since Minato's Flying Thunder God could fold space, Mo Chen relied on it to stabilize his own dimension.
By timing his spatial control perfectly with the folding of space via Flying Thunder God, Mo Chen sealed the warped space within his prepared Bagua Seal. The technique was complete.
"Hahahaha!" Mo Chen, now six years old, laughed wildly, "My ninjutsu is finally complete!"
"Let's see what it is!" Kushina was more excited than Mo Chen, her face flushed with joy.
Even Minato seemed a little impatient. If Mo Chen's technique worked, its value might match or even exceed that of Impure World Reincarnation or Flying Thunder God.
In wartime, Konoha wouldn't need to rely on fragile supply lines. Everyone could carry their own personal storage!
Seeing how excited they were, Mo Chen smiled and said, "Alright, alright, let's take a look."
He channeled chakra into his right palm and opened the portable space.
He didn't know whether living beings could survive inside, so he used his spatial sensing to inspect it.
"It's about a hundred cubic meters. There's air inside, but it can't circulate—once consumed, it won't replenish. So, living beings can't survive."
"Other than that, the switch works perfectly. It can be activated or deactivated with just a thought. Chakra consumption is low—about the same as a Fireball Jutsu."
While sensing, Mo Chen explained the features one by one.
Minato stood aside and recorded everything using a ninjutsu scroll. At the end, he labeled it: "Super S-Rank Forbidden Technique."
Kushina grabbed Mo Chen's head and hugged him tightly, rubbing it against her chest. "Xiaotian, you're incredible! You created a Super S-Rank jutsu at just six!"
"Let me go! I can't breathe!"
After struggling weakly for a long time, Mo Chen finally escaped from her clutches once she calmed down.
Giving Kushina a fierce look, Mo Chen jumped up and patted Minato's knee. "Don't stand there giggling! Let Kushina help you make a portable space. You already have Flying Thunder God—you won't even need my help. Yours will definitely be bigger than mine!"
The space size depended on the Bagua Seal's strength and the distance covered by Flying Thunder God.
The farther Flying Thunder God traveled, the larger the folded space! If the Bagua Seal was strong enough, the sealed space could be nearly infinite in theory.
In practice, though, the maximum the Bagua Seal could manage was about 500 cubic meters. Anything beyond that couldn't be contained.
To create such a space, one needed:
Strong sealing technique
High spatial talent
Control over Flying Thunder God's folded space
So far, only Mo Chen and Minato had met those conditions. Not even Kushina could, due to her lack of spatial talent.
"Alright," said Minato. He and Kushina immediately got to work.
Following Mo Chen's steps, they engraved the necessary seals on Minato's left hand.
After some time, the two stopped.
Mo Chen saw Minato focus his senses, then announce with delight, "Success! Over 400 cubic meters!"
Since Minato used Flying Thunder God himself, the warped space was naturally larger than Mo Chen's. Once Mo Chen picked up Flying Thunder God in the future, his space could grow as well.
Once things settled, Minato asked, "Xiaotian, you created this jutsu. Do you want to share it with the village?"
"You decide," Mo Chen said, waving it off. "No one else can learn it anyway. Just don't let the Third Hokage or Danzo see it!"
Then he dashed back to his room, rummaged through drawers, and stored the 30 million taels he had earned over the year into his new space.
This was Asuma's head, after all—how could he not be careful?
