Scroll of Seals


 * Name: Scroll of Forbidden Seals
 * User: Naruto Uzamaki, assumed other Konohagakure ninja.

The Scroll of Forbidden Seals is a scroll created by the First Hokage that has many secret, powerful, and forbidden jutsu of Konohagakure. The only known jutsu to be on the scroll is the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. This is considered a forbidden jutsu, because it can potentially be dangerous to the person performing it, seeing as how all of the clones are given an equal amount of chakra directly from the user. Other jutsu can be seen to be on the scroll; however, none can be read. The jutsu on the scroll are assumed to be forbidden because of the high risk they have on the user.

The scroll was stolen by Naruto in the beginning of the series because he was told by Mizuke that if he mastered a jutsu on the scroll, then he would graduate from the Ninja Academy and become a genin. This was not true and Mizuke intended to take the scroll for himself, but Iruka disrupted his plans by finding Naruto first. Naruto amazingly mastered the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and used it to defeat Mizuke. This being a higher level version of the Clone Technique, the jutsu Naruto failed in the academy, allowed him to graduate. The Third Hokage states that if Naruto continues to tamper with the scroll he may unleash the Nine Tailed Demon Fox. This may be because the jutsu on the scroll require so much chakra that it would deplete Naruto's normal amount of chakra, and making him have to rely on the Nine Tails'.
