Chapter 193 Secret Seals and Curses
Chapter 193 Secret Seals and Curses
Uchiha clan.
Chiyo, Fugaku, Itachi, and the other three elders all gathered together.
However, they are all listening to Qianyao's analysis right now.
Chiyo made roughly the same analysis as the Third Hokage.
"...I have a chance of winning the Hokage competition with Tsunade, but there are too many uncertainties."
The Grand Elder slammed his hand on the table:
"So what if you're younger? Minato Namikaze was only a few years older than you back then, and he still became Hokage."
The other elders echoed this sentiment, expressing their deep agreement with Elder Si Hu's words.
Qian Yao wasn't in a hurry. He slowly picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
What's the point of being Hokage now? There are still so many members of the Sarutobi clan.
When Chiyo becomes Hokage, it must be on the day he eradicates the Sarutobi clan.
"Don't fall into the Third Hokage's trap."
"Hiruzen Sarutobi simply wants to lure us into his area of expertise, and then defeat us with his rich experience and resources."
"If we let him run for Hokage again, the political advantage that our Uchiha clan has recently accumulated will quickly disappear."
Instead of wasting your energy competing with them, you should step out of this circle.
The elder asked curiously, "Qianyao, have you come up with a solution?"
Qian Yao chuckled lightly: "Simple, just make sure the third generation can't step down."
……
After discussing it with Fugaku and the others, Chiyo immediately went to the Uchiha hospital.
This place was just built not long ago; the hard furnishings are finished, but the soft furnishings are just starting.
Kabuto and Nono also stopped saving people at Konoha Hospital.
That's enough; too much is as bad as too little.
Kabuto and Nono personally looked after Hotaru.
Ying was already lying in the hospital bed, her eyes closed and her face contorted in pain.
I don't know if it's because of the physical pain or the mental trauma.
"How is she?"
Dou, standing nearby, said, "She has some burns, but they're not serious."
"But her body was severely depleted and she suffered tremendous mental trauma, which caused her to remain in a coma."
"But if we give her some nutrition and let her rest for a while, she should wake up."
Chiyo still trusted Kabuto's medical skills.
Since he said that, it's probably true.
Qianyao lifted the blanket, turned Ying over, lifted Ying's hospital gown, and checked the marks on her back again.
The mark, in general, resembles a spiderweb pattern, perched on Ying's vest.
But the very center, because it was shiny black, looked like a gemstone.
Qianyao has a fairly good understanding of the Five Elements Seal, but he knows relatively little about this kind of secret seal.
This thing is somewhat similar to a cursed seal.
"Nonou, take good care of her. Kabuto, go and invite Orochimaru over so he can take a look at this mark."
“Tell Orochimaru that this is the secret seal of the Tsuchigumo clan’s secret technique. He should be interested.”
"Yes, Lord Qianyao."
It must be said that although Dou is still young, he has a strong ability to execute and is a rare talent.
Both Chiyo and Orochimaru admired him.
Although Orochimaru's laboratory hasn't opened yet, he's already reserved Kabuto.
The laboratory was connected to the hospital, and Orochimaru quickly arrived at the hospital, where Chiyo was waiting for him.
"Let me see the secret seal of the Earth Spider first."
Orochimaru didn't even greet Chiyo before immediately lifting the blanket to examine the secret seal patterns on Ying's back.
He placed his hand over the secret seal, and chakra flowed back and forth within it.
The secret seal that Orochimaru was staring at intently seemed to come alive, and his veins began to throb.
It looked as if an ugly spider was crawling on Ying's back, sucking her blood.
Orochimaru withdrew his hand, and the secret seal gradually dissipated.
The bulging blood vessels also subsided, and the secret mark turned into lines.
"How is it?" Qianyao asked from the side.
Orochimaru shook his head: "No time."
"What do you mean you don't have time?" Qian Yao asked curiously.
"I've been working on the Impure World Reincarnation technique lately and haven't had time to study this secret seal."
“Jugo is still in Otogakure. With him there, we can make a quick comparison.”
Qian Yao said nonchalantly, "It's alright, there's no rush anyway."
"This child probably has no relatives. From now on, he belongs to our Uchiha clan. You can study him however you want."
Orochimaru stared at the good seal again for a couple more seconds: "His seal has given me a lot of inspiration."
"My Heavenly Curse Seal is still a work in progress."
"However, I already have a plan to make changes."
Qian Yao raised an eyebrow slightly:
"Is that the Heavenly Curse Seal, which is read as having a one in ten survival rate but written as having a one hundred percent survival rate?"
Orochimaru glanced at Chiyo with a slightly puzzled look: "How could the survival rate be one hundred percent?"
"Those who tried to implant the Heavenly Curse Seal before all died."
Qian Yao raised an eyebrow slightly: "It seems that Hongdou has some talent."
Orochimaru shook his head: "Talent depends on its aspect; her temperament is too weak."
"Even if she survived the curse of heaven, she couldn't break through her limitations and would ultimately be unworthy of respect."
Qianyao pondered for a moment and realized that Hongdou's temperament was indeed very poor.
For more than a decade after Orochimaru's defection, Anko remained troubled by matters concerning Orochimaru.
I can't bring myself to pick it up, but I can't put it down either.
But Orochimaru truly regarded Anko as his disciple.
Otherwise, instead of sealing her memories, they would have killed her directly.
……
In the Land of Tea, a small team wearing Konoha headbands is swiftly traversing the forest.
A ninja in her early twenties, with a full figure, wearing a fishnet lining and a khaki cloak, was at the front.
She is Orochimaru's disciple, Mitarashi Anko.
Before Orochimaru returned to the village, Anko had just accepted a difficult mission and went to the Land of Tea.
This mission is crucial to whether Anko can be promoted from Chunin to Special Jonin.
Even if this task is difficult and tedious.
Hongdou also led her team and spent some time completing it.
After they returned to the city upon completing their mission, they learned about all the things that had happened in Konoha.
After learning that Orochimaru had been exonerated, Anko rushed to Konoha in a great hurry.
Because of Orochimaru's defection, Anko's identity was tainted, and she had not been promoted for many years.
Even though she has completed many missions and her strength has reached the level of a special jonin.
However, the village continued to suppress her, forcing her to remain a ninja.
Although there are quite a few 20-year-old Chunin.
However, Anko had followed Orochimaru for so many years, yet she was only at the level of Chunin, which was somewhat embarrassing.
Orochimaru has now sealed away a portion of Anko's memories.
She didn't know that when Orochimaru left, it wasn't that he didn't want to take her with him, but rather that she herself didn't want to go with Orochimaru.
Red Bean believed that she had been abandoned by Orochimaru.
Her previous admiration for Orochimaru had reached the point where she wanted to follow him even if he defected.
But Orochimaru didn't want her anymore.
Therefore, Anko is currently in a state of mixed feelings of love and hate towards Orochimaru.
Now that he has learned that Orochimaru was wronged, he immediately wants to go back and ask his former teacher what really happened.
Hongdou's two teammates knew a lot about her situation.
Knowing that she wanted to return to the ninja village as soon as possible, he followed behind her without saying a word.
Hongdou covered her neck.
Thinking of Orochimaru always brings a peculiar sense of pain.
That was the mark Orochimaru left on her for life.
Heavenly Curse Seal.
