The power of the curse seal alone is not enough to have such a significant effect; at least one must enter state two and fully develop the potential of the curse seal.

After stacking "Sage Techniques", the first state can unleash a great deal of power, allowing natural energy to be refined into "Sage Chakra" to amplify itself.

His own three-in-one "immortal technique" plus the incantation seal will also subtly influence Kiyoshi's body, making Kiyoshi more tolerant of natural energy.

This is, in a sense, also an evolution of life.

If this continues, Kiyoshi might very well live for thousands of years like the Great Toad Immortal and the White Snake Immortal, relying on "immortal arts".

People like Fukasaku and Shima can live for eight hundred years.

They all have natural lifespans, unlike the Otsutsuki who rely on "wedges" to change their bodies and thus achieve immortality.

"So that's it."

Mitarashi Anko excitedly began to test her power.

In the original story, she only used a defective curse seal.

It can be said that not only does it offer no benefits, but it also has entirely negative effects.

Her only ability is that she feels pain when Orochimaru is nearby, and she can sense Orochimaru's presence through pain.

It also cannot change to state one or state two.

With a temperament similar to that of a boy, Mitarashi Anko naturally couldn't wait to become familiar with this power.

……

Meanwhile, at the Grass Country Experimental Base.

Yecang got up from the bed and put on the clothes that Kiyoshi had provided.

Her original clothes were stained with blood and had an indelible fishy smell.

"My body has almost fully recovered."

Yecang's secret passage.

The wounds she suffered were fatal; the shurikens pierced her flesh from behind, some even penetrating her heart and lungs.

Even though Kiyoshi received emergency treatment and her life was no longer in danger.

Such a severe injury would have required her to rest for at least a month in the past.

But now, she has not only recovered from her injuries, but also feels stronger than she did a week ago.

"Burning Escape..."

Ye Cang stretched out her hand, and a fireball appeared in her palm.

The intense heat created a restless atmosphere in the air.

Cursed markings also appeared on her body.

The back resembles a blooming dark flower, with beautiful patterns extending outwards from the back.

"As expected, this state has enhanced my ninjutsu several times over."

A sense of joy welled up in Ye Cang's heart.

This would make her revenge against Sunagakure more hopeful.

"Would you like something to eat?"

As Yekura adjusted to the power, Uzumaki Karin's voice came from outside the door.

She spends most of her time alone here, but now that she has a companion, she is very happy.

"unnecessary."

Yekura gave Uzumaki Karin a cold glance.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was living a good life, even keeping a mistress in a secluded house.

A woman was hiding here without anyone noticing.

This made Yekura feel inexplicably annoyed.

Yekura still felt a phantom pain when she thought about what Kiyoshi had done to her.

When Yekura woke up the next day, she personally burned the blood-stained sheets to ashes.

"You can contact me anytime if you change your mind."

"Itsuki Karin said cautiously."

She left the room and walked down the corridor, still able to hear the sounds of meditation coming from inside the room as she left.

…………

Kirigakure Village.

"Are you sure Yekura never returned to Sunagakure?"

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, asked.

"determine."

The person who answered was a ninja from the Hozuki clan.

"I have gathered a lot of intelligence, and it all points to Yecang's complete disappearance in that canyon."

Hozuki's Strange Moon Path.

Every person who walks will inevitably leave traces.

Yecang's traces, however, seemed to have been abruptly broken off there, without extending any further.

"I see."

Yagura waved.

Hozuki Kigetsu respectfully withdrew.

"What do you think?"

Yagura turned to look at Mei Terumi, Zabuza Momochi, and the others.

With the passing of many veteran ninjas from the previous generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, it is essential to replenish them with fresh blood.

A genius like Mei Terumi was naturally recruited.

"It seems that Yekura and the village's secret agents perished together."

Mei Terumi deduced.

Whether it's changing the Hidden Mist or uncovering the truth behind Yagura.

They are all inseparable from the power center near the Hidden Mist.

Only in this way will they have plenty of opportunities.

"I think that makes sense too."

"Zabuza Momochi said in a deep voice."

The intelligence brought back by the reconnaissance ninjas indicated that the entire area was engulfed in flames.

This characteristic is very similar to Yekura unleashing all the power of her "Scorch" Release, which also burned her to ashes.

Therefore, what is further away is a charred corpse, while what is closer is ashes.

The delay was too long, and with the rain there, everything got mixed up.

It's impossible to tell whose DNA it is.

The high-ranking officials of Sunagakure also vehemently denied that they had saved Pakura, and even agreed to allow Kirigakure to send ninjas to Sunagakure to investigate.

"Hmm...maybe he really is dead."

Yagura no longer dwelled on whether Hagura lived or died.

As long as someone is alive, they will show themselves sooner or later.

Such a conspicuous feature as "Burning" is not so easy to conceal.

As long as there is a desire to utilize this power, it will inevitably manifest itself.

He was thinking about something else; Sunagakure's determination to stop the war was obvious.

Just as Yagura was about to give an order, the power of his eyes that remained in his mind began to stir.

A hint of crimson flashed in his eyes, and he said in a tone that remained almost unchanged:

"In that case, the ceasefire with Sunagakure is settled. We will intensify the implementation of the 'Bloody Mist Village' policy to make the village's ninjas even stronger."

"Lord Mizukage, is this...?"

Zabuza Momochi frowned deeply.

Without a doubt, the ninjas trained in the "Village of Blood Mist" are ninjas who strictly conform to the definition of "tool".

It is also an ugly existence that steals away emotions.

Like a ninja's graduation exam, it is mostly done in pairs, and you can pass by killing your partner.

In protest against this policy, he once killed all the candidates in that year's cohort.

This forced Kirigakure to change its policy the following year to prevent the recurrence of ninjas like Zabuza Momochi who overstepped their bounds in carrying out orders, leaving Kirigakure without anyone to rely on.

But this is not a long-term solution.

As long as the "Village of Blood Mist" exists, the Hidden Mist Village can never be truly liberated.

"This is an order."

Yagura emphasized his words.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

Zabuza Momochi said, feigning respect.

"Mei Terumi, the Chunin Exams are in a few months. This time we'll be going to Konoha again, and you'll be leading one of the teams."

Yagura Michi.

It's impossible for a ninja village to send all its ninjas to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams.

Only outstanding ninjas are sent each time, tasked with making a name for Kirigakure.

"Also, keep an eye on Uchiha Kiyoshi and see if you can get all the ninja swords back to Kirigakure."

Yagura said calmly.

Soon, Mei Terumi's voice responded from inside the room.

…………

night.

Uchiha settlement.

"Kiyoshi, are you tired? Would you like to rest?"

Mikoto sat on the sofa in the living room, watching the busy figure in the kitchen, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

"No need, Mikoto-nee, I'll be done right away."

Kiyoshi turned to Mikoto and said something.

He is currently at Mikoto's home.

After giving Mitarashi Azuko the "Sage Seed" in the afternoon, Kiyoshi bought ingredients and went to Mikoto's house.

The Uchiha clan are obsessive madmen.

Kiyoshi couldn't be sure what kind of love-hate relationship Mikoto would imagine if he ignored her for a long time.

After all, the Uchiha's way of thinking tends to be pessimistic rather than optimistic.

No matter what I'm thinking about, I always consider it from the worst-case scenario.

If anyone in the clan plotted a coup, Itachi Uchiha felt it necessary to purge the entire clan.

After learning the truth, Sasuke thought about destroying Konoha, not seeking revenge against the village's leaders.

Such extreme thinking can lead them to do all sorts of abstract things.
