*~*~*~*
Bending over a scroll, brush in hand and moving in smooth movements, Naruto narrowed his eyes as he created a seal on the scroll. Sitting up, he followed at the seal that he had created, taking in all of the minute details before nodding and placing the seal aside to dry. He pulled out a new parchment scroll and dipped his brush into an ink pot.
When he had been a genin, he had started to research seals, fascinated by the way they worked and how you could layer them to create something intricate and powerful. From there, he had worked on learning how to do them himself and had built on what was already known about seals.
Tsundae had also given him permission to start a small business to creating basic seal scrolls for those who didn’t mind buying, which had turned out to be quiet a few people. His small business kept him busy during the weekends and some nights as he created a back log of the scrolls that were bought the most.
Of course, no one knew just who created them, a requirement from Naruto so that his business didn’t suddenly tank just because he was the holder of Kyubbi. After all, the seal business supplemented his mission pay. So far he had a nice retirement fund if he got to that point or a great contribution to the orphanages of the slums of Kohona.
The seals were usually delivered by bird, usually one that was provided by Tsunade but the ones he was creating would be delivered by Narutos team, Sai and Sakura far from please at such a menial mission. Only Tsunade, Kakashi and Naruto knew exactly what the seals were and why they had to be taken by a team that knew what they were doing.
Finishing with his last seal, placing it aside with a groan before standing up and stretching with a low moan, he moved into the kitchen. Filling his kettle up with water, Naruto soon had a cup of tea in hand, sipping at the hot liquid and letting it warm and sooth him.
The seals were done, drying on the table and waiting to be rolled up and tucked away until the mission. He was free for the moment and knew that with this last seal delivery, he would gain his mastery.
