Jiraiya first checked the Double Four Symbols Seal, just like how he had checked it before, it was completely intact.
He turned his head and nodded at the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage also gave Jiraiya a signal with his eyes.
On Jiraiya's five fingers, several flames lit up in sequence.
"Five Elements Seal!", He directly pressed his five fingers onto Naruto's stomach.
Naruto cried out in pain with a loud "wa" and directly fainted.
Earlier, when they pulled Naruto over, they had already checked the seal, and the seal was originally fine.
What was on it was the Double Four Symbols Seal, leaking out the Nine-Tails chakra and converting it back into Naruto's own chakra.
This was originally a measure that Minato Namikaze had taken to protect Naruto.
But this time Naruto had an incident of going berserk, and since the reason was unclear, it couldn't be left unattended.
The Third Hokage had decided to add another layer of the Five Elements Seal on Naruto.
To prevent Naruto from having another berserk episode.
Jiraiya turned back and greeted Hiruzen, "It's done, old man."
The Third Hokage also nodded; this way it was a bit more secure.
Unexpectedly, just as Jiraiya stood up, red chakra began to emit from Naruto's body.
Jiraiya and the Third Hokage were both shocked, "What's going on!?"
Jiraiya took out a sealing talisman and slapped it onto Naruto.
But the "seal" character on the sealing talisman was quickly burned into ashes.
At this moment, Naruto's clothes on his stomach had not yet been pulled down.
Jiraiya saw that the Four Symbols Seal began to spin, then the marks of the Five Elements Seal were completely shattered.
After that, the Four Symbols Seal rotated back again, and the Nine-Tails chakra on Naruto also completely disappeared.
Jiraiya and the Third Hokage were both surprised. Just now, they had been preparing to evacuate personnel again.
Unexpectedly, the Nine-Tails chakra simply broke the Five Elements Seal and then retracted.
"Could it be that the Four Symbols Seal and Five Elements Seal conflict with each other?", Jiraiya was puzzled.
The Third Hokage slowly shook his head. Even as the Professor of Ninjutsu, he had no idea.
After all, the sealing techniques of Konoha were inherited from the Uzumaki clan.
The Third Hokage was already old and no longer had extra time to research the Four Symbols Seal system.
The previous two Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails could not have allowed him to study it either.
Rarity represented uncertainty.
The Third Hokage was also utterly confused.
Jiraiya checked once again and said to the Third Hokage, "The Four Symbols Seal is intact."
The Third Hokage irritably picked up his smoking pipe, but found that it was not lit, and put it back down, "I'll try to think of another way."
"Then does Naruto still need to go to school?", Jiraiya asked.
The Third Hokage shook his head, "Let him stay at home for the time being."
After all, Uchiha Rengoku is currently the principal. Based on what they know, it's definitely aimed at Naruto.
The Third Hokage didn't mind compromising in political struggles.
But the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was the bottom line, and Rengoku taking the position of Ninja Academy principal was of no use.
Just not letting Naruto go was enough.
Whether Naruto could learn knowledge was not within the Third Hokage's concern.
Or rather, it was best for Naruto to just be an idiot.
But since Jiraiya was here, the Third Hokage added a sentence, "Next time, bring him some books, let him study at home."

[Uchiha Clan Grounds]
"....This is the origin of the Ninja World," Rengoku first explained the relationship between the Otsutsuki clan and the Ninja World, to lay the foundation for what he was about to explain next.
Orochimaru, hearing this, was deep in thought, "So all sorts of Kekkei Genkai in the Ninja World are related to the Otsutsuki clan."
Rengoku responded, "To be exact, the Otsutsuki clan is a higher life form, and their direct descendants will more or less inherit some of their abilities."
"You have deeper research in this area, you should understand."
Orochimaru nodded, "So, Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara, and other outstanding individuals with Kekkei Genkai, are all throwbacks?"
Rengoku thought for a moment, "That's indeed the case. As long as the inherited Kekkei Genkai is especially strong, it's all possibly due to a throwback."
"Of course, there is also another possibility, soul reincarnation."
"Oh? Soul reincarnation?", Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his face; his Living Corpse Reincarnation was also related to the soul.
This directly related to his immortality, so of course he was interested.
Rengoku organized his language, "Speaking of which, we have to start from when Hagoromo and Hamura sealed Kaguya, but Kaguya split off a mass of black mud, and this black mud…"
The room where the two were in was the same place where Yagura had been restored last time.
After Rengoku brought Orochimaru over, they went inside to talk privately, and since some words weren't suitable for Guren to hear, Guren was left outside the door.
Guren had no choice but to stand guard at the door.
Now she was staring at Rinjin on the opposite side, big eyes glaring at small eyes.
Rinjin had come to report to Rengoku about the next stage of the plan.
But upon arriving at the door, he was blocked by Guren.
Inside the room, voices of conversation could be vaguely heard, making Rinjin a bit curious.
When Rengoku returned, it was already afternoon.
He had taken Orochimaru inside and had been talking for several hours.
Rinjin could only wait at the door, and Guren was also extremely bored.
She didn't even understand what kind of charm Rengoku had, to make Lord Orochimaru talk with him for so long.

[Inside the Room]
"So many layers of manipulation?"
Even though Orochimaru had experienced great storms, he was still shocked by Black Zetsu's thousand-layer pancake scheme.
Black Zetsu manipulated Madara, Madara manipulated Obito, Obito manipulated Nagato, and each relationship was interconnected.
The Nine-Tails incident from seven years ago was also related to this.
As Rengoku spoke up to here, his mouth was a bit dry, and he shouted loudly, "Rinjin, bring some tea and snacks in."
"Got it!", Rinjin outside responded and quickly got to work.
Orochimaru didn't feel hungry at all; his entire spirit was in an excited state.
He had a feeling that the door to the truth of this world was slowly opening.
And now that his vision had been broadened, he felt that some of his past actions were a bit petty.
"Then, your desire to cooperate with me, where do you want to start first?"
For Rengoku, the most valuable person in the Ninja World was Orochimaru.
After all, science was always the number one productive force.
Since Rengoku had even placed the precious Kotoamatsukami on Orochimaru.
Of course he wanted even more in return, "Let me explain the relationship among the Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, Rinnegan, Byakugan, and Tenseigan within the branches of the Otsutsuki bloodline..."
Rengoku briefly introduced these things to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was listening with great interest.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
A knocking sound came from outside.
"Come in."
Rinjin entered carrying plenty of food and a pot of tea.
Rengoku signaled him to put it down, and saw that Guren was still standing at the door like a guardian god.
"Bring something for her too, we'll be talking for quite a while."
"Yes, Fourth Elder, understood," Rinjin, with outsiders present, still addressed Rengoku as the Fourth Elder.
Outside, Guren also glanced at Orochimaru; Orochimaru gave her a look, and Guren calmed down.
After Rinjin went out, he quickly brought back some food, "They should be talking for a long time, better eat something first."
Guren, having just received a signal from Orochimaru, was also more relaxed.
With a wave of her hand, a crystal-made table and bench appeared behind her.
Rinjin lifted his eyelid slightly in surprise.
'Crystal Release? That's truly rare.'
Rinjin placed the snacks and tea onto it.
Seeing that Guren also made a stool for him on the ground, he also sat down naturally.
The two of them, with tea and snacks, said nothing.
