Fuinjutsu and Sealing can be the lifeblood of a ninja village. Those knowledgeable can make a tidy profit handling the seal and tag needs. Higher level specialists can be in high demand for complex seal arrays, and masters are required for handling jinchuuriki or sealing biju.
Unlike other specializations, Fuinjutsu and Sealing has a higher standard to pass each certification (above Introductory level) due to how dangerous messing up a seal or array can be. Each certification exam has two parts, and each section is 75 points rather than 50.
