The precious medicinal materials obtained by the ancient Sugi family made Mizuki's last doubts disappear.

I got the Tiger Curse Seal and the activated potion from Orochimaru, and I have been hiding it in my heart for a long time.

In essence, a relatively successful ninja school teacher is a very utilitarian and self-centered ordinary person.

If Orochimaru hadn't given him hope, and if there hadn't been Gusugi Bosui clearing the obstacles on his path to adventure, he might have been just a depressed and ordinary ninja who wanted to cheer up but couldn't find a way.

Now, he has reached this point because he failed to resist the temptation.

He was not the only one who was planted with a curse seal. The Curse Seal of Heaven in Mitarai Anko's body has existed for so many years, but it still has not had a great impact on her daily life. This is enough to prove that the curse seal is not the key to people's corruption. It's the amplified desire and unchecked ambition that make it grow and grow out of control.

Looking at the man in front of him who was laughing crazily and with his face twisted into a ferocious shape, Xiao Chun slowly approached and begged:

"I'm sorry, Mizuki, I didn't know that you were under so much pressure on weekdays. I may not be a good fiancée because I'm careless, but please don't continue to do stupid things, okay?"

"It's too late, Xiao Chun. You don't know that this world is unfair to us civilians. You and I are both orphans who grew up together. We should understand that many of the things we may not be able to obtain after a lifetime of hard work. People have it from birth."

Shuimu continued to laugh, with a hint of bitterness on his arrogant face,

"Someone told me that the gap between people is bigger than that between people and dogs. But, I don't accept it! In terms of qualifications, I am not bad, and in terms of strength, I am better than many mediocre seniors. But why do you want to be a teacher? The qualifications are even one step behind Iruka? No matter how you put it, I can't be worse than him, right? And Asuma, that loser with the title of son of the Hokage, obviously has such a good foundation, but he doesn't cherish it..."

It's just that he can't compare to top geniuses like Hatake Kakashi. Even Ebisu, Shiranui Genma, Morino Ihiki and Yamashiro Aoba have a greater presence than him.

The status of Moonlight Blast, Metkai and Bingzu Lei, who were once behind him, were all higher than his.

He was rebellious and disobedient when he was a child, and ran away from the village when he grew up. This had a huge impact on Sarutobi Asuma's reputation. Even now that he has returned from his lost ways, there are still people who are dissatisfied with him.

Especially the behavior of trying to please Yuhi Kurenai in various ways made many fellow Konoha villagers feel worthless.

"Those things have nothing to do with us, Mizuki, don't be stubborn anymore and come back with me. If you have done something wrong, confess it to the Sandaime and you will definitely be dealt with leniently."

"It's too late."

Gently shaking the potion bottle in his hand, Mizuki's somewhat excited heart calmed down a little. He took a few steps back, pushed the approaching Xiao Chun to the side, and drank the liquid that shone with a strange light in one gulp.

Instantly, a cool chill entered his stomach, followed by a burning burning sensation that quickly spread throughout his body.

The torture that almost penetrated into the bone marrow made Mizuki scream loudly.

Immediately afterwards, streams of purple-black chakra continued to emerge from his body. The chakra in his body was continuously squeezed and merged into a strange curse seal chakra, which continuously overdrawn Mizuki's body, causing him to endure extremely terrifying conditions in a short period of time. pressure.

After the initial shock passed, Mizuki, who had endured all the hardships, turned into a tall, slender man over two meters tall, with a body covered with downy hair and a face that looked like a tiger that was several sizes too big.

Seeing in horror that her fiancé turned into a standing and walking tiger-man exuding an evil aura, Xiao Chun couldn't help but cover her mouth, with tears in her eyes, looking at everything in front of her in disbelief.

Mizuki, who felt good about himself, was completely overwhelmed by the surge of power and completely lost the ability to control his emotions.

"Xiao Chun, have you seen it? This is the power I have gained. As long as I have this, even the Sandaime will not ignore my existence!"

powerful?

really!

In the early stages of the curse seal's outbreak, it gives people a false sense of power.

After all, curse seal chakra is also a type of fairy chakra. Even if it is a much degraded version, it is still a level higher than ordinary chakra.

In essence, the curse seal transformation is an incomplete immortal transformation.

The four sound ninjas who activated the curse seal were able to protect the seriously injured Orochimaru, fight their way out of the heavy siege of Konoha ninjas, and escape smoothly, which is enough to prove that with the curse seal and no risk of life, How powerful is it.

Unfortunately, the Tiger Curse Seal that Mizuki obtained from Orochimaru was not even a "simplified beggar's version", it was just one of the casual attempts.

Mizuki, who had greatly improved his strength, speed and reaction ability, was eager to try out how powerful he was. Not only did he use his fists and kicks to smash the surrounding rocks and trees, he also used extremely powerful ninjutsu to crush the surrounding rocks and trees. The surrounding land was plowed, and then I tried to control advanced ninja tools that I had never been able to do before.

After the chakra in the body was almost exhausted, it almost stopped.

"Xiao Chun, this is my current strength. Don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life. You will not always be a dispensable second-tier ninja and flower farmer."

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Mian

"You don't understand!"

With an attitude of having everything under control, Mizuki was about to withdraw the power of the curse seal, but suddenly found that his body was like a punctured balloon, quickly drying up, and the power of blessing quickly faded. His originally strong body... In the blink of an eye, he turned into a shriveled refugee. If he hadn't been alive, he would have been recognized as a mummy.

"What's going on? Where did my power go? There was obviously nothing wrong with the preparation of the potion..."

Mizuki knelt down weakly, shouting Orochimaru's name with runny nose and tears, as if he didn't believe that that big shot would play with a little guy like him in his spare time.

As for Gushan Bushui, the suspicion of manipulation is even smaller.

The types and proportions of medicinal materials were all requested by Shuimu on his own initiative. He prepared them himself, and no one else had a chance to intervene.

Mizuki, who was almost unable to stand up, fell weakly to the ground and was helped up by the panicked Kochun.

It's a pity that Mizuki is now so weak that he has problems with his five senses. He opens his eyes but can't see anything, and his brain can't process any incoming sound signals. Only waves of weak and chilling cold breath come out of his body. .

Vaguely, Shuimu seemed to see the depths of his own soul, a soul that had been riddled with holes.

"Then...is it me? How did I become like this?"

Later, all consciousness returns to chaos.

When Mizuki woke up again, he realized that he was lying on the hospital bed, his body was still very weak, his whole body ached, and it was difficult to even move his fingers.

"What's wrong with me?"

The slight movement woke up Xiao Chun who was leaning on the bedside to take care of her. When she saw Mizuki waking up, she couldn't help crying with joy and said: Mian

"You became like this after drinking a strange potion. I sent you to the hospital, and when the doctors were helpless, your colleague Togakushi Hinode-sensei helped..."

"It's him! How did he save me?"

"have no idea!"

Xiaochun shook her head,

"It is said to be the secret medicine of the Gushan family. There is no similar thing in the village, and it is impossible to ask others for the formula."

"It's them!"

Mizuki laughed at himself bitterly, Mian

"I'm afraid they have already predicted that I will have such a day, right? That's right, the huge ancient fir tree may not know what I want those medicinal materials to do. There must be someone who understands the properties and pharmacology of medicinal materials."

Even Mizuki, a layman who had studied on his own for several months, could roughly understand the effects and side effects of the prepared medicine, but his "superstition" about Orochimaru made him ignore the risks involved.

In fact, the harm caused far exceeds the worst estimates.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"About ten hours. It's now...three o'clock in the morning the next day."

"That didn't take long."

"You don't know, when I brought you back, the doctor asked me to prepare for the worst." Mian

His energy was like a gossamer and his life was hanging by a thread, which is not enough to describe the danger level of Mizuki at that time.

Without Tsunade, Konoha Village simply does not have the ability to deal with such critically ill patients. At this time, it is mostly up to the person concerned to carry it out and leave it to fate.

"Does the Sandaime know?"

"I came to visit you, but I didn't say anything. Iruka and others are also very concerned about you. Now it's too late and they have all gone back."

"I know, I'm causing trouble for you, Xiaochun."

After letting his fiancee feel relieved and going to rest, Mizuki also closed his eyes.

The powerful illusion not long ago disappeared, and even felt much worse than before.

This should not be an overdraft caused by excessive consumption, but it was really damaged by the Tiger Curse Seal, which may have damaged the foundation.

Even if it recovers later, it is likely that there will be sequelae.

If this is the case, doesn’t it mean that your future will become even more bleak?

When he embarked on this road, Mizuki knew there was no turning back.

It is still unknown what happened to Orochimaru, but Mizuki had already prepared for the worst. Perhaps, that adult did not take the dispensable Ichijie Chuunin to heart.

So, where to find a way out?

With this suspicious incident of "mistaken medicine", it is even more impossible for him to get ahead in Konoha Village step by step. Watanabe

Just when Shuimu secretly prayed in his heart that no matter who it was, he would be willing to pay any price as long as he could fulfill his wish, deep in his heart, in the dim corner, the sound of germination resounding in his mind like a cocoon breaking out of a cocoon, A tiny seed takes root in the spiritual sea, continuously absorbs nutritional essence, and blooms into two delicate cotyledons.

"This is……"

In a daze, Mizuki recalled the half-smiling look on the face of Major Governor Gushan when he and Major Governor Gushan were talking face to face.

"There is no free lunch in this world. When you feel that you have taken advantage of it, it often indicates the tragic ending of falling into a trap. Free is the most expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford such a price... "

"In this life, since birth, people have been constantly trading their own things with the outside world. Time, effort, struggle, money, relatives and friends, health, dignity and even soul and life. If you want to give nothing, just give If you have something to gain, it’s better not to think too much about it.”

At that time, Mizuki didn't understand what the other party meant. It wasn't until now that he had a little understanding.

"Yeah, how could such a benefit land on my head? This world is unfair, how can I have the illusion that I am favored by fate?" Mian

Will Orochimaru value Mizuki?

He even abandoned his teachers, students and comrades, and used his compatriots for human experiments. Such a person would treat Shuimu well for no reason?

There is also Major Governor Kosugi, who is one of the richest and most powerful people in the entire ninja world. He is a big shot that the entire Konoha Village does not dare to neglect. Why did he come to the door to talk about the matter and easily get something that the outside world cannot buy? Is it because he teaches the courses seriously and has outstanding effects?
To be continued...
