Turned Into a Tattoo
[Although I can't see Chakra...]
But what was cut is undeniable.
Lin Ke, holding the Chakra Scalpel, cut around the three commas of the Cursed Seal, and then, considering that Orochimaru's consciousness might exist within the Chakra of the Cursed Seal, he meticulously cut through it, bit by bit, carving out the shattered Chakra.
The whole process was quite rapid. His hand, after activating the Mystical Palm Technique, was both steady and fast. Once the brain made a judgment and issued a command, it could be completed almost synchronously. The only thing limiting his actions in this state was the speed of his thought process and reaction ability.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Mitarashi Anko watched Lin Ke's hand wielding the scalpel, creating a series of afterimages, precisely and swiftly cutting and carving out something from the Cursed Seal. Before she could even react, it was all over.
She looked down at the three remaining black commas, but felt no abnormality, as if they had become inanimate objects.
"It's almost done, it shouldn't have any effect anymore..."
Lin Ke reached out and pressed on the commas, releasing Chakra to check. There was no longer any stress response. After all the Chakra inside had been carved out, no matter what technique it was, no matter how ingeniously Orochimaru had designed it, the structure was completely destroyed, and the Chakra was removed, it would all be ineffective.
However, considering that the basis of the Cursed Seal was the injection of Jugo's body fluids, the Chakra Scalpel could carve out Chakra, but it didn't mean it could destroy the injected body fluids.
So this thing directly turned from a Cursed Seal into a tattoo.
Or a scar, if you will.
Looks pretty cool, three black commas printed on the collarbone...
"Ugh~" Lin Ke was pondering when he was suddenly embraced by the agitated Mitarashi Anko, who directly gave him a 'hug-and-kill'.
"Thank you, Lin Ke." Mitarashi Anko hugged him tightly.
This guy...
Lin Ke reached out and pushed away this woman who had no sense of boundaries. He was only ten years old, and he wouldn't have any impulses because of a woman's approach. He was simply having trouble breathing from being squeezed.
If he hadn't sensed that this guy had no hostility, he would have kicked her away at the first moment.
Mitarashi Anko didn't care at all as she wiped the tears from her cheeks and laughed heartily, saying, "It's decided, little Lin Ke, I'm going to treat you to Maruko and Red Bean Soup!"
"If there's nothing else, you can leave."
Lin Ke issued an eviction order, "Mitarashi Anko, proctor."
"Well, don't you also like sweets? I think we still have, hey hey hey..."
Mitarashi Anko reached out and touched her Cursed Seal tattoo, trying to close the distance from a very strange angle, and then was forcibly dragged to the door and pushed out.
Lin Ke looked at her slightly, and said, "If there are any further problems, feel free to come to me at any time."
Clack~ The door of the medical room was closed.
Mitarashi Anko stood at the door, looking at the closed door, recalling what Orochimaru had said about Lin Ke when he saw her.
He's completely different from you, Orochimaru...
"Huh?" She turned her head to look at the end of the corridor, where a boy with a gourd on his back was standing there indifferently.
This kid is the Sand Ninja Village Genin who passed through the Death Forest in one hour and thirty-seven minutes.
Mitarashi Anko grinned, and without the interference of the Cursed Seal, she disappeared in place in an instant.
"Kid, don't look at me with murderous eyes..." Gaara heard her methodical voice in his ear.
"Otherwise..."
"Sand!"
A mass of sand suddenly floated and opened behind Gaara, rushing towards the proctor, but it missed. Immediately afterwards, a Kunai was against his neck.
"I can't help but kill you." Mitarashi Anko revealed a bloodthirsty smile that was different from when she was with Lin Ke.
She was known as the most dangerous female ninja in the entire Konoha Village.
"..."
Gaara kept his hands in a hand-sealing posture in front of his chest, and did not act rashly.
This kid's eyes look a little dangerous... Sand Ninja Village, are they here to find Lin Ke?
Mitarashi Anko held a Kunai level, a sweet smile on her face, and said, "If you dare to attack the proctors or other staff again, I will immediately disqualify you from the exam."
Gaara hesitated slightly, then released his hand seal.
Mitarashi Anko also lowered her Kunai in sync, brushed past him, and said lightly, "Kid, stay away from Lin Ke."
Her voice was extremely cold.
Gaara stood there, the anger on his face growing stronger.
It's always like this, one after another... That Lin Ke, not only has two teammates who look at him with those strange eyes, but now there's even an adult ninja who will actively protect him, while he...
He was trembling all over just standing there because of inexplicable emotions.
I really want to kill you more and more...
Lin Ke!—Mystical Palm Technique allows my palm to substantially compress natural energy, interfering with Sage Art Chakra that contains natural energy...
Lin Ke sat in the medical room, once again releasing Chakra into Mystical Palm Technique Mode.
His hand waved around in the air, but he couldn't sense anything. Natural energy should be everywhere, but just now—
I get it, it might be a matter of density. After the natural energy attracted by the Cursed Seal increases, my hand can grab it, like pushing away water. That's why the Cursed Seal Chakra mixed with natural energy was easily suppressed by me.
Without being attracted by the Cursed Seal, natural energy might be like a mist, impossible to be captured by the palm.
Lin Ke speculated, then felt that this ability was a bit strange. Did Mystical Palm Technique 'grasp' Sage Art Chakra? Being related to natural energy, it must be connected to the 'Sage Mode' of the Naruto World. But he doesn't know any Sage Mode, nor does he have a Cursed Seal. How can he attract natural energy? He knew he shouldn't have destroyed the Cursed Seal so decisively; he should have kept it for research.
He quickly realized that, besides Mitarashi Anko, theoretically there was another person in Konoha Village with a Cursed Seal—
Uchiha Sasuke.
If Orochimaru didn't follow the original story and give Sasuke a bite, he would have to find a Sound Ninja Village test subject.
Or several? Orochimaru's base seemed to have many test subjects with Cursed Seals, but it was a bit troublesome not knowing where the base was. Perhaps he should target the Sound Four...
Lin Ke didn't dwell on too many thoughts. After realizing that Mystical Palm Technique wouldn't have any effect without a Cursed Seal, he pulled out his book and started reading.
There was still a lot of time left. The second Chunin Exams would take five days, and today was only the first day. The night was long, and there was nothing else to do in the room besides studying.
