8 Planning and preparation (1/2)
As I walked towards the Uzumaki compound, I suddenly remembered something very important, that being, that if I got the forbidden scroll of seals, how would I be able to us them… If something like the Eight Inner Gates technique was in there, even though I know I hasn't been created yet, I would need to have alibi, otherwise I would not be able to use the techniques without getting a trip to the torture and interrogation department, where I would get my mind read by some Yamanaka, which I definitely don't want.
Currently I could only think of a few things, that would allow me to use at least some of the techniques without suspicion, the best being none other than my last name, the Namikaze clan. Since I've previously found out Tobirama and Hashirama were both half Namikaze, it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to think they may have stored some techniques in the Namikaze jutsu vault. Since it has been sealed, no one knows for sure what is inside, but I should assume there's some sort of alarm mechanism, probably connected to the hokage. I think I can work with this. If I trigger the alarm before getting the forbidden scroll of seals, I might be able to convince Hiruzen that I was just curious about my clan, since the main seal should be a bloodline seal, only allowing those with a certain bloodline or otherwise authorized people through.
I had to leave my planning for later, as I arrived for my lesson with Mito. Even though Mito had allowed us to just walk in, it might be a good idea to knock, since Kana and Kushina might be living here, thus giving them a good impression. No one really interacted with them in class, due to Kana's display, so this would essentially be my first impression. After knocking two times, the door was open by Kushina, who seemed confused as to why I was here, guess Mito didn't tell them about us. This also confirmed they were indeed living here, and that I came before Minato, which was my plan, so that is good.
”Hallo Kushina-san, can I come in? I've got sealing lessons with Mito-sama soon, but I had nothing to do, so I came early” – Me
”Ah, eto, I will have to ask Baa-chan, what was your name again? Why do you know my name?” – Kushina
”I'm Yoshio Namikaze. My brother and I are learning seals from Mito-sama, he should also be arriving soon, as too why I know your name, it's because we are in the same class at the academy” – Me
”Ahh, sorry I don't remember you” – Kushina
”No problem, I try not stand out too much in the academy… even though that fails whenever we do combat training, haha” - Me
”Ano, why are you learning sealing from baa-chan, as far as I know, there shouldn't be many seal users in Konoha, that would be able to impress her enough to make her teach them, not to mention that she can't teach clan seal due to the clan rules, so why would she teach you?” – Kushina
”Ah, that's quite the embarrassing story actually, my brother and I finished learning seals from the hokage, who is a level 2 advanced seal user, so we got curious knowing the Uzumaki clans prowess with seals and tried to sneak in to the compound, only to get caught by Mito-sama, haha ha…” – Me
”That still doesn't explain why she would teach you…” – Kushina

Seeing Kushina's slightly pouting face, I couldn't help but smile.
”Well, when we explained it to her, it seemed that hokage-sama had already asked her to teach us, so she just told us some basic information and made a schedule for lessons with her” - Me
