Cursed Seal
Chapter 93: Cursed Seal
Half an hour later, Death Forest, central tower, medical room.
"I didn't expect to see you again under these circumstances."
Mitarashi Anko covered her shoulder with one hand, the other, pierced by a Kunai, rested on gauze, as she spoke, sweating.
Lin Ke reached out and pressed her hand, continuously outputting Chakra to heal her, his tone calm, "You're the Special Jonin and the proctor for the second stage of the Chunin Exams, right?"
Indeed, this was mockery. He still couldn't give a good face to the guy who had inexplicably come to chat with him last time.
"Hey, you have no idea what I encountered—" Mitarashi Anko stopped halfway, remembering that the kid in front of her had actually survived a battle with Orochimaru, and sighed, "You really are an annoying brat."
She paused, then said seriously, "That guy... Orochimaru has infiltrated the village. You need to be careful."
Just like the plot in the manga, he targeted Sasuke too...
While healing her, Lin Ke said, "Don't worry, looking at you, you should be more worried about yourself."
"Hmph!" Mitarashi Anko groaned, her whole body trembling, the hand pressing her shoulder showing bulging veins.
"In your condition, can you continue to fulfill your responsibilities as a proctor?" Lin Ke asked.
"Stop nagging," Mitarashi Anko gasped.
It was just a simple penetrating wound, and Lin Ke quickly healed it. He released her hand and said, "You seem to be in a lot of pain. Do you mind if I take a look at your shoulder?"
"It's useless." Mitarashi Anko looked to be in great pain, but as she said that, she still moved her hand away, revealing three black comma-shaped marks. After all, the other party was targeted by Orochimaru, and had even repelled Orochimaru, a trustworthy person. [As long as you fight Orochimaru, we're friends!]
She continued, "This is Orochimaru's Forbidden Technique. It will erode the body of the person it's cast on. Only a Sealing Jutsu can... ugh!"
As Lin Ke pressed down with his Chakra-infused fingers, it was as if a switch had been flipped. Her whole body trembled even more violently, and the muscles in her neck twitched as if in spasm.
The pain was visible to the naked eye.
It's repelling foreign Chakra...
Lin Ke actually knew the truth about the Cursed Seal. It was an incomplete Sage Mode. The reason he wanted to try it was because in the Fourth Shinobi World War in the manga, Orochimaru was able to revive through this Cursed Seal under certain conditions...
For him, nipping the enemy's revival channels in the bud was also a way to strike at the enemy, so he wanted to see if he could dispel the Cursed Seal in advance.
Extract Chakra, release—
"Hey, you're not going to use that thing to cut open my shoulder, are you..." Mitarashi Anko had been in a bit of a daze from the pain, but when she saw the bright, semi-transparent scalpel, she immediately perked up.
"This is a secret technique..." Lin Ke pierced his palm with the blade of the Chakra Scalpel, then pulled it out to show her, "It can touch and cut Chakra without harming the physical body."
Mitarashi Anko visibly breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Even so, it's still very dangerous, right?"
"Don't mess around. The Third Hokage can directly apply the Evil Sealing Method in a couple of days..." The Cursed Seal, having been stimulated once, became active again. She had been able to speak clearly, but before she could finish her sentence, she fell into a semi-conscious state.
There's a special Chakra leaking out...
Lin Ke prepared to cut open the Cursed Seal, subconsciously activating the Mystical Palm Technique to ensure that he could cut faster, and then pressed his empty hand on Mitarashi Anko's shoulder where the Cursed Seal was—
"Huh?"
Before he could make a cut, it was as if his palm had grabbed something. The sensation was very clear, not an illusion.
The Cursed Seal, which had been acting abnormally, immediately stopped emitting strange Chakra.
Interesting.
Lin Ke moved his palm, almost completely covering the Cursed Seal. The feeling of pressing down on the Cursed Seal was like pressing down on some kind of flowing liquid surrounding it. He could almost effortlessly squeeze those strange liquids away.
"Ugh~" Without the activity of the Cursed Seal, Mitarashi Anko quickly woke up. After a moment, she quickly assessed the situation and said in surprise, "You can actually suppress the Cursed Seal..."
"No, not nearly enough." Lin Ke was calm on the surface, but actually very surprised inside.
What is the essence of the Cursed Seal?
Absorbing natural energy to enter Sage Mode.
His palm can suppress Sage Mode, so the things squeezed out by his palm...
"..." He suppressed the thoughts in his head, held the Chakra Scalpel, and moved his palm slightly, saying, "Are you ready?"
Mitarashi Anko had originally refused to let this kid mess with the Cursed Seal on her body. After all, even the Third Hokage couldn't eliminate this Forbidden Technique. She had only come to treat the Kunai wound in her palm, but when she personally felt the Cursed Seal being completely suppressed, her mindset changed.
Even the Evil Sealing Method can't completely seal the Cursed Seal. This kid...
She struggled internally for a moment, before finally saying decisively, "Do it." What was there to hesitate about? She had dreamed of killing Orochimaru and escaping the torment of the Cursed Seal.
Lin Ke moved his palm away slightly and said, "I'm going to start. Please bear with the pain if there is any."
The translucent Chakra Scalpel silently entered Mitarashi Anko's shoulder.
...
Konoha Village, a high platform.
"The Sand Ninja Village is ready, Orochimaru-sama."
Yakushi Kabuto knelt on one knee, reporting.
Orochimaru leaned against a pillar, looking sideways at the peaceful Konoha Village in the distance, without saying a word.
Yakushi Kabuto stood up and asked with a smile, "Orochimaru-sama, you're back so soon? Aren't you going to play with Sasuke a little longer?"
"..." Orochimaru's tone was a little frivolous, "With Lin Ke around, if I'm too presumptuous, it might be dangerous."
"Kabuto, I'll leave the matter of Sasuke to you."
"Please leave it to me with confidence." Yakushi Kabuto lowered his head to accept the order.
Orochimaru looked at the bustling streets in the distance, the crowded people, and said, "This place is still the same as before, like a windmill that doesn't move, annoying. Just thinking about destroying it soon..."
"Hee, hasn't Orochimaru-sama made up his mind yet?" Yakushi Kabuto asked.
In his opinion, his ruthless and cold-blooded superior should theoretically destroy Konoha Village without hesitation, snatch the Uchiha brat, and capture Lin Ke. The fact that he was showing some emotional fluctuations at this moment was truly interesting.
"..." Orochimaru looked at his subordinate, about to say something, when his expression suddenly changed.
"Eh?"
