Chapter 174: Use the Downfall of a Country as the Backdrop for My Supreme Art

Destroy the curse seal?

Yuuji only nodded in understanding.

It was normal for Anko to make this request. If anyone knew that there was a soul fragment in their body and that it was a vessel used for resurrection, they would try their best to destroy it.

"The curse seal is very complicated. It does not only involve the power of the seal itself... I need some time."

Yuuji said slowly.

The curse seal was created with the help of Jugo's research. It could be used to receive natural energy.

Using the curse seal to enter the second stage was equivalent to grasping the inferior Sage Mode.

If he could advance further on the foundation of the second stage, he might be able to reach an infinitely close level of Sage Mode.

Anko lowered her head respectfully, "Thank you. I've had enough of the seal on my neck, and I don't want to become a tool for that man to resurrect..."

"I can understand your feelings."

Yuuji walked over and placed two fingers on the seal.

A cold feeling spread out, causing Anko's body to slightly tremble for a moment.

Yuuji said, "Without Fūja Hōin(Evil Sealing Method)'s restriction, this curse seal can easily lose control. As long as you use chakra, the curse seal will be activated, forcing you to enter stage one."

'Stage one?'

Anko was confused.

In the next moment, Yuuji had already used chakra to stimulate the curse seal.

AHHH!

After Anko let out a miserable scream, the three magatamas on his neck began to emit a burning sensation and began to spread strange lines at the first moment.

Natural energy was constantly being pulled by the curse seal and converted into chakra, strengthening Anko's strength.

At the same time, it also greatly increased Anko's physical quality.

Strength, speed, chakra, nerve reflex, and self-healing ability, were all rapidly rising.

"Converting natural energy into chakra, this kind of thing..."

Yuuji lowered his head and looked at Anko who was struggling in pain. He did not immediately save her. Instead, he calmly stood in place and observed Anko's state.

He still could not sense the natural energy, so he could only observe it through Anko's state.

It had to be said that from a poor Sage Mode's point of view, the curse seal was indeed an amazing invention. Although there was a high mortality rate and there were very few hosts who could enter the stage two, but it was still a great innovation.

The curse seal broke the high threshold of Sage Mode practice, allowing ordinary ninjas to have a chance to touch the natural energy.

"This is equivalent to cutting a hole in the human body specifically for natural energy. It is very difficult to heal this wound."

Yuuji seemed to be deep in thought.

He raised his hand and use Fūja Hōin(Evil Sealing Method) to seal the curse seal on Anko's neck again, relieving Anko's pain.

"Anko, this should be the first time you used the curse seal, right? How does it feel to be in the first stage? Are you really willing to destroy this thing?" Yuuji laughed softly.

Anko was covered in sweat. She stood up with a tired face and felt her physical condition in bewilderment.

She recalled the feeling just now.

"Is this the usage of the curse seal? Stage one? And natural energy? I don't understand at all..." Anko was confused.

However, there was still a trace of nostalgia.

After opening the curse seal just now, the power that was constantly emerging seems to give her a clearer perception of the whole world.

Few people could refuse the feeling of suddenly becoming stronger.

"I still want to destroy the curse seal. This was given to me by that man. It is not the power that truly belongs to me!" Anko hardened her heart.

"I understand. In this period of time, leave your body to me."

Yuuji had a faint idea.

"We still need to use Kazue's power for this matter..."

Yuuji brought Anko back to Root Base.

At this time, Root ninjas came forward and handed over a piece of confidential information to Yuuji.

"Oh, something happened to Country of Sound? Some spies that were lying in ambush were missing?"

A look of surprise appeared on Yuuji's face.

This was interesting.

Country of Sound, the country where Orochimaru would build a base in the future, was a small country in the north of Konoha.

A deep puzzled expression appeared on Hoheto's face.

'It shouldn't be so simple. Moreover, transplanting eyes naturally involves the fusion of eye power, and exchanging eyes with each other is too simple.'

'So, there is another possibility...'

"Not just transplanting the eyes, but also fusing the eyes? Although this speculation is very absurd, it is indeed reliable speculation to increase the eye power... Is this what Iroha did? He fused the Byakugan from the main house and the branch house, and then obtained even stronger eye power?"

Hoheto racked his brains to guess. With his wisdom, he could only advance to this step.

Combined with the situation of those two Otsutsuki, what Hoheto could think of was transplanting and fusing more of Byakugan, and he could obtain even stronger eye power, so that he could obtain Mangekyo Byakugan, and even the legendary Tenseigan step by step.

Hoheto solemnly sealed the information and notes into a scroll and carried them with him.

This was his biggest secret and his ambition.

After checking everything, Hoheto immediately set off to meet up with Kakashi and the others at the designated location and set off for the Country of Sound.

With their team's configuration, even if they were to face Kage-level, they could face them head-on.

...

The news of Orochimaru's resurrection was suppressed by Yuuji, Minato, and a few other people who knew about it.

The entire ninja world was still in the midst of getting the exact news, and the few great countries were still in a mess.

After Konoha signed a peace agreement with Iwagakure and Sunagakure, it seemed that the ninja world's situation was constantly on the verge of stabilizing.

The dawn of peace had already appeared.

But this was only the dawn of the great countries, the peace that belonged to the small countries was still far away.

Especially those unlucky small countries that were targeted by dangerous people, such as the Country of Sound.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A terrifying explosion sounded out, and every explosion was accompanied by a series of miserable screams.

The entire Country of Sound was in a state of devastation and chaos.

A large number of refugees were fleeing for their lives, their expressions miserable.

A large number of ruins lay across this country.

"Run! The demon is here!"

"Why did we encounter such a thing?"

Many people dragged their families and ran for their lives in panic.

There were also sporadic ninjas in the crowd. With these civilians as cover, they ran for their lives in horror.

It wouldn't be long before they could escape into the territory of the Country of Frost.

Swish!

At this time, a puppet dressed in black suddenly appeared, and in just an instant, he killed all these despairing people.

"Hmph, I can't find any suitable materials at all."

The black puppet carried a sickle and floated in the air.

There were many chakra lines on its body controlling it.

It was accompanied by a rhythmic sound of footsteps.

A strange puppet with a hunched back that was moving on the ground came over.

He casually glanced at the corpses on the ground, and a trace of impatience flashed through his eyes.

'Damn, doesn't this trash country have a few ninjas who can draw my interest?!'

"In front of me is the daimyo mansion. The only remaining strength of the entire country is concentrated there... If I kill all of them, I think I will be able to find some qualified works of art."

The Sasori had been wandering in the Country of Sound for a period of time.

It had been almost eight years since the assassination of the Third Kazekage and the Third Ninja World War.

In the past eight years, Sasori had used everything he had to transform the Third Kazekage into his strongest work of art.

He had even pushed his puppetry technique to a higher level.

He came to the Country of Sound and started a massacre, searching for more suitable materials to create puppets.

"These trash ninjas, let's gather a number first. It's a good time to experiment with my puppet's strongest secret technique..."

Sasori looked at them with extreme disgust. After sneering, he took out a scroll on the spot, summoned a pile of parts, and then transformed these corpses into puppets.

Twenty minutes later.

"Although these last two works of art are extremely rudimentary, let's make do with them. I will capture this country as the backdrop for my supreme art... Akahigi: Hyakki no Sōen(Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets)!"
