Chapter 439: 404. Izumi Vs Umihebi part-2

The two arms on Susanoo's back hold a gigantic bolt of lightning.

"Lighting Release: Lightning Thunderclap!"

As soon as Izumi notices some ripples and movement on the sea surface, she slams the gigantic lightning bolt.

BOOM...

A pillar of water rises in the sky, followed by a chaotic surge of the purple lightning storm.

GYAAAAANNN...

The sea serpent releases an agonizing scream as the lightning bolt stuns it at a place.

Crack... crack...

The horn on its forehead shatters and it wreathes on the sea surface in pain. Dark red, sinister chakra seeps from its body. Red lightning flickers across its body, causing it to mutate even further.

"I won't let you!"

The Susanoo wields the giant blade.

Rumble... Rumble...

Lighting clouds gather in the sky and a bolt of purple lighting lands on the tip of the blade.

"Raikou: 3rdForm Musou Isshin,"

She vertically swings the blade and cleaves the head of the snake from its neck.

The sinister chakra around its body dissipates, and the red lighting on its body disperses. The crimson eyes of the monster turn green and slowly return to their previous state.

Izumi dispels her Susanoo and flickers towards the port.

"It's over!" She mutters to Kei and vanishes from the spot.

"Thank you so much!" Kei thank the empty space in front of him.

Whoosh...

A gentle breeze passes by and ruffles the few strands of hairs remaining on his forehead.

Ahem...

Kei clears his throat to break the awkward silence.

"The monster is dead. It's time for the celebration." He announces.

"Now that's what we are talking about!"

An uproar of celebratory cheers and victorious screams echoes across the port.

"Before that, don't forget to collect the body of the monster. It's now a property of the Trinity Corporation. And depending on its value, all of you might get a bonus." Kei declares.

"Captain, you are the best!"

The guards cheer for him.

"Is it just a normal wooden box? Or is it one of those prank boxes from Izuna?"

Mei recalls a prank gift box from Izuna. It was her birthday and Izuna gave a wrapped gift box to her.

When she opened the box, a creepy doll leaped out of it and licked her box. That incident almost gave her a heart attack.

Of course, as a punishment; Izuna has to sleep on the couch for next week.

"That Izuna!" She chuckles and stores the box in her storage.

"Huh!"

The wooden box teleports out of her storage.

"What? How did it come out?"

Mei attempts again, but the result is the same.

"So, I can't store this box in spatial storage. Now, that's interesting. Looks like this isn't a normal box. I don't have much information about the Fuinjutsu techniques. I will ask Kushina and Minato-san later." Mei carries the box into her room.

Meanwhile, in the clan library of the Uzu clan,

Akari and Yuji present various scrolls and writing with their unique style of Fuinjutsu to Kushina and Minato.

"Incredible! These techniques are quite incredible." Kushina reads the scrolls like a nerd.

"It reminds me of the days I spent with Grandma Mito. That was the first time I started learning the Fuinjutsu techniques." Kushina absorbs the knowledge of all scrolls like a sponge.

"Although, the fuinjutsu techniques of the Uzumaki clan and the Uzu clan have the same origin. Both of them diverge in their path. These runes in the barrier skill, this modification in the sealing formations..." Kushina immerses herself in the scrolls of the Uzu clan.

"Ahehe..." Minato stares at her enthusiastic expression.

"Lady Akari, this is for you."

He passes a bunch of scrolls with the Uzumaki clan technique and his insights on Fuinjutsu.

"Thanks for your generosity."

Akari accepts the scrolls and passes them to Yuri.

"Izuna-sama also taught us a lot of things. With this, we might be able to improve our skills in Fuinjutsu and perhaps seal some of the troublesome sea creatures."

"Oh... Akari-san! Who was the person that erected the barrier outside the Redaku? That's an extremely powerful and complex barrier." Minato asks, out of sheer curiosity.

Unlike Izuna, who is able to determine the nature of the barrier, with a glance and knowledge; Minato lacks the necessary tools and knowledge to understand the purpose of the barrier.

Still, his instinct as a Fuinjutsu grandmaster hinted to him of the advanced nature of the barrier.

"Umm... Minato-san, we don't know the exact person who erected that barrier. However, there are some folklore and legends of a God who took shelter in this place a few millennia ago. It was God who sealed and isolated this place from the rest of the world. It's said that the members of the royal family are guardians appointed by God to monitor the monsters in this place.

However, that's just some baseless rumors spread by the royal family to elevate their position in the hearts of the people. The current royal family is nothing like the one described in the legends. Rather than the guardians, they are more like the worst adversary of the Redaku."

Akari sighs and shakes her head.

"Still, there is some information about the origin of Fuinjutsu techniques in our clan. It is said that the Kenshiro-sama explored some ancient ruins and found some ancient scripts of Fuinjutsu and the records of a powerful ritual. He simplified the Fuinjutsu records and modified the ritual to create the summoning seal. Most of our records are missing and we don't have much information regarding the later life of Kenshiro-sama."

"Hmm... I see. Thanks for the information!" Minato expresses his gratitude and picks up a book from the library of the Uzu clan.

Akari and Yuri also sit at a nearby study table to read the scrolls and insights provided by Minato.
