Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 51: First Encounter with the Cursed Seal

Just as Mizuki tried to call for help, the intense suffocation ended after less than five seconds.

He felt his heart fill with power, the potion surging towards his brain and limbs.

What was going on? Was the transformation completed so quickly?

This was a bit different from what that lord had said. Could it be that his aptitude was very strong?

Mizuki tore off his sleeve, revealing a pitch-black cursed seal on the inside of his right arm. After being nourished by the potion, the cursed seal seemed to have a life of its own, beginning to absorb energy from the natural environment. It absorbed wildly for half a minute, then a portion of the energy from the cursed seal poured into his body, making up for the deficit caused by the previous body modification.

Mizuki let out a long sigh of relief; he was completely alive.

His shriveled body inflated like a balloon, the power within quickly surpassing his prime and continuing to climb rapidly, seemingly without limit.

His arms became incredibly thick, with several tiger-like black stripes appearing on his arms, shoulders, and back. His body grew a full twenty centimeters taller, his muscles bulging with power, like a small giant.

Mizuki pounded his chest with his fist, making a "thump thump" sound.

"Hahahahaha what wonderful power! Now even Jonin are no match for me!" He let out a series of maniacal laughter, and as he laughed, he finally noticed something was wrong. Hinata, standing not far away, was too quiet.

Was she scared silly by his actions?

He looked over and found Hinata particularly calm, her condescending gaze making him very uncomfortable.

"What are you looking at?!" he barked angrily.

Hinata said unhurriedly, "Mizuki-sensei, you always say Naruto's shadow clones are poorly practiced and that his control is poor, but aren't you the same? Being able to become a teacher at the Konoha Ninja Academy is clearly because they are taking care of you. Your strength is far worse than Iruka-sensei's. I guess you probably haven't practiced the Transformation Jutsu much, have you? That's not good. You haven't even mastered the basics, you'll suffer for it when you leave Konoha."

Mizuki stared at her intently. The potion had modified his brain, and the cursed seal allowed him to absorb a large amount of natural energy, greatly enhancing his perception.

At this moment, he finally noticed the layer of chakra constantly flowing on Hinata's body. What kind of jutsu required chakra to cover the body's surface? There were many such jutsu in the ninja world, but the most basic one, and the only one he knew, was the Transformation Jutsu.

A puff of smoke rose from Hinata's body, and Ino's figure was revealed.

"It's you! You've been playing me from the barbecue restaurant!"

"I wouldn't say playing you. If you hadn't had these thoughts, we would still be teacher and student. It's a pity, Mizuki-sensei. Can you tell me what that thing behind you is? What does this transformation of yours mean?" Ino asked, pointing to the black cursed seal on his arm.

Mizuki's face contorted: "Little brat, you dare to trick me? I'll tear you apart alive!"

He dug his feet into the ground and charged, attempting to launch an assault. But as soon as the chakra gathered at the soles of his feet, he felt weak and powerless. His strength was still there, but his body was somewhat disobedient.

Ino tapped him with her finger: "Aren't you stupid? You let me handle such an important matter as buying medicine? Many herbs haven't reached the required age, that's why your transformation went so smoothly, understand? And don't you know that mountains are best at growing flowers, and many flowers are highly poisonous? The toxins have already spread throughout your body through your heart, you will become weaker and weaker. Surrender, maybe the village will give you a way to live."

"Damn it!" Mizuki was furious, he staggered forward two steps.

Natural energy was still pouring into his body through the cursed seal on his arm, the energy as abundant and domineering as ever, but his nerves, bones, and muscles were somewhat disobedient, and he saw many double images.

"I won't lose! I will absolutely not lose!!" He stared at Ino, as if as long as he defeated this hateful woman, he could turn the tables.

"Tsk tsk, you can still move? That's really something." Ino came fully equipped tonight. She lunged forward, the kunai in her hand thrusting towards Mizuki's throat.

Mizuki's mobility was greatly reduced, and he could only cross his arms in front of him.

The kunai pierced his wrist, but after only two centimeters, there was a significant sense of resistance, as if it wasn't piercing human flesh, but a tire.

Ino placed her left hand on her right hand gripping the kunai and pressed down hard with both arms. No good, the opponent's defense was much stronger than she had estimated, and her own strength was insufficient!

"This is troublesome!" She kicked Mizuki's elbow, using the force to jump up. Her left hand swept across her waist, and two shuriken flew towards Mizuki's eyes in an arc.

Mizuki lowered his head to dodge the shuriken, his arms spread wide, the nails on his ten fingers mutated and elongated, like ten sharp swords. Using his height and arm length to his advantage, he slashed frantically at the air in front of him.

Ino dodged left and right. The opponent's attack and defense were not weak, but due to the poisoning, his speed had dropped significantly. She saw an opening, jumped behind Mizuki, and thrust the kunai into his shoulder blade from below, stirring it hard in the neck and back muscles.

A large mass of flesh and blood was dug out, and Mizuki screamed in pain.

Like a wounded tiger, his hands were like two sharp claws, wildly attacking Ino with a series of swipes.

Ino didn't use her best ninjutsu, circling around Mizuki, stabbing here, slashing there: "Mizuki-sensei, your ability still has flaws. Your arms have the strongest defense, your frontal defense is stronger than your back, and your chest and abdomen's defense is stronger than your lower limbs, right?"

Without waiting for Mizuki to answer, Ino shouted: "Choji! It's your turn, hit his legs!"

After an awkward wait of three or four seconds, the chubby Choji's slightly hesitant voice was heard: "Huh? Oh oh! Coming, coming, watch my Meat Tank Roll!"

Choji's body swelled into a meatball under the effect of chakra, his head and limbs retracting inside. Then his body spun at high speed, carrying tremendous impact, like a cannonball, crossing a distance of more than thirty meters and crashing head-on into Mizuki.

Mizuki was a Chunin after all. Seeing the flying meatball, he gritted his teeth and threw a punch, trying to knock it back.

There was a loud "boom", and the huge meatball was sent flying by his punch. Mizuki's left leg also made a crisp cracking sound in the second second of the impact.

He lost his balance, and at the critical moment, he supported himself against the side wall to barely stay standing.

Amazing! Seeing this scene, Ino had a new understanding of this cursed seal form. Thick skin, strong recovery, and it could greatly enhance basic physical attributes.

This was still the incomplete version of the cursed seal created by Orochimaru. The Sound Four, Kimimaro's Heaven and Earth Cursed Seals should be even more powerful. These cursed seals, which used Jugo's cells to absorb natural energy, were already so powerful, how strong would a genuine Sage Mode be?
