Putting aside for the time being the "Hundred Clans Contest" plan of the Chief Superintendent of the Kosugi Family, the four Sound Ninjas escorted the seriously injured Fuma Arashi and stumbled back to the Sound Ninja Village. Orochimaru seemed to have some understanding of what happened in the Bear Country.

.

After letting Fuma Arashi go down to recover from his injuries, Orochimaru asked the four Oto ninjas to describe what happened, not missing every detail, and asked in great detail.

After verifying that there were no contradictions in their words, Orochimaru asked everyone to put the matter down.

"It's really weird, an almost meaningless battle. Kabuto, did I miss something?"

"Lord Orochimaru, I don't have enough information, so I can't judge."

Kabuto Yakushi, who rarely took the time to visit the Sound Ninja Village to exchange information, replied with some embarrassment,

"If those people didn't lie, wouldn't Lan's strength have improved too horribly? Now, I'm not sure I can win."

"You are definitely no match! Kabuto, you underestimated how terrifying Arashi is when he fights with all his strength. However, this is not to blame for your misjudgment..."

Orochimaru said with great certainty,

"Because, his opponent...the orphan of the Kaguya clan is an even more terrifying monster. He can overwhelm the full-strength Arashi line even if he doesn't use all his strength."

"Are you actually...so powerful?"

"Children today are indeed scary. The fourth generation of Hokage back then may not have been so strong at this age. Of course, it doesn't mean that Golden Flash's talent and potential are worse than them..."

The most talented thing about Namikaze Minato is his understanding of time and space ninjutsu and his physical reaction ability. Before he reached adulthood, he was indeed no better than Shunshen Shisui, Hatake Kakashi and other geniuses, but he had to wait until his body matured.

, accumulate more and more, and your strength will increase rapidly.

"It's a pity that he died too early. If he could live to this day, Jiraiya's proud disciple might really live up to the expectations of the son of destiny. Even if... the leader of the Akatsuki organization might not dare to provoke Konoha even if he has the Samsara Eye.

village."

Orochimaru was defeated in the fourth Hokage election, and he was somewhat resentful. This was also due to his dissatisfaction with his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi and the villagers who abandoned him because they liked the new and disliked the old. That "little sun"-like Namikaze Minato really didn't exist.

No matter how much he dislikes him, he also quite recognizes his strength and ability.

Things have changed, and more than three years later, Orochimaru, who was expelled from Konoha Village, can no longer return to his original state.

"Then...is there something wrong with Lan? Although the Earth Curse Seal is powerful, it will not increase his strength to this point."

"No, before the Earth Curse Seal was applied, his strength began to increase strangely. It was just not obvious at first, but then it became faster and faster, and even I couldn't ignore it."

When rating each "consumable" and confirming their qualifications, their potential was basically understood. Otherwise, Orochimaru wouldn't be so negligent about the Fuuma clan's surrender.

There was a possibility of errors in judgment back then, but there would not be such a big error. After all, Orochimaru also received the top ninja education, and was one of the "Sannin" who has cultivated talents one after another in the past and future. It depends on people.

His vision will not be so bad.

At that time, Feng Molan was indeed not outstanding enough for people to expect, and it was seriously inconsistent with the heights he could achieve now.

"Does the Feng Mo clan have a secret technique that is kept secret?"

Yakushi Kabuto tentatively guessed, and Orochimaru was also a little unsure, so he said in a playful way:

"I didn't find any abnormalities in his body, which... makes people very curious. Either I really made a mistake, or there are existences and secrets that are far beyond my understanding at work."

"Then do you want to interrogate Feng Molan?"

"No need, there are unknown changes, which is a good thing. It proves that there is a brand new unknown field waiting for me to explore. Anyway, the curse seal of the earth has been implanted in him. From body to mind, everything will belong to me sooner or later."

When Orochimaru spoke proudly, the four sound ninjas were worrying around the sleeping Fuma Arashi.

At this moment, after returning to the Oto Ninja Village, the boy who was holding on to himself finally couldn't hold on anymore. After a simple treatment, his overdrafted body collapsed immediately, and Fuma Lan also fell into a deep sleep.

Even the Earth Curse Seal couldn't suppress it and began to become active again. The red and black curse seals spread all over the body, and then connected into one piece, dyeing the skin dark brown, and wisps of purple and black chakra emerged, like a cocoon.

Energy encompasses it and then continuously transforms its body.

"Wait, this is..."

The silent Sakon looked at Fuma Lan with a slightly unhappy look, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked very strangely,

"He looks like this, is he awakening from the second cursed seal state?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Hasn't he awakened a long time ago? Otherwise, such an exaggerated fighting posture is just a state?"

Kidomaru crossed his arms and retorted with a smile,

"The gap between the curse seals won't be this big, right?"

"No, I think it's possible. Have any of you seen Lan's awakening state? Or, when did he take the Xingxin Pill?"

The four sound ninjas all looked at each other, at a loss.

Jirobo asked angrily:

"You don't really think that he is really only in the first state of the curse seal, and now he is forced to awaken to the second state because of a serious injury, right?"

When it comes to fighting, these people are really talented, but their ability to reason and judge is too poor.

Anyway, no one knows when Feng Molan took the Xingxin Pill, and no one has seen the process of improving his curse seal status. They only regard it as the difference between the Earth Curse Seal and the ordinary curse seal.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If that state is the Curse Seal 1 state and is more serious than the mutation in our Curse Seal 2 state, then he cannot be a pure human being."

The curse seal itself is the blessing ability to tap the body's potential and create positive changes. Generally speaking, the first state of the curse seal will not be too different from its original appearance.

Feng Molan's fighting posture made others take it for granted that he had activated the second state of the curse seal.

In fact, no one has seen Feng Molan's awakening ceremony. If you don't know it, there must be others who know it, right?

As a result, a big mistake was made.

However, if Feng Molan only awakens to the second state of the Curse Seal now, wouldn't it be more terrifying compared to the previous battle scenes?

"Hey, is this the time to be concerned about this? Do you want to help and use the four black mist formations to stop his decline, lest he really can't survive it? After all, he is already seriously injured."

Tayuya is a little worried. Actively activating awakening with Xingxin Pills is not the same level of risk as passively activating it when seriously injured.

"Don't worry, this guy seems to have some strange abilities and won't be defeated by such a small scene."

At this time, Feng Molan's body seemed to be wrapped in a purple-black aura, and his skin also showed the dark color of death. However, waves of faint black lines spread on the body surface, transforming his body into a first-born creature.

The strange double horns are a bit similar to "Dragon Transformation", but they look a little different.

Sakon asked very curiously,

"Does he have a blood inheritance limit in his body that is similar to my Parasitic Ghost Art? Otherwise, he wouldn't have such strange behavior."

I haven't heard of this. The Fuma clan has never been known for having blood inheritance limits. Tayuya interacts more with Fuma Arashi, and she has never heard of anything about him having blood inheritance limits.

If it wasn't deliberately concealed, then it was really an accident?

Several people just watched Feng Molan unconscious, trembling a few times from time to time under the devastation of the cursed chakra to show that he was still alive, and then continued to transform.

During this period, Orochimaru visited twice and found nothing unusual.

After seven days and seven nights, the purple-black chakra became much more restrained, and after another half a day, Feng Molan slowly woke up.

At this moment, Feng Molan's appearance has undergone great changes. The second state of the cursed seal did not cause more changes, but was closer to the human shape than the first state of the cursed seal.

Her short blue-white hair seemed to have become very long because it had not been taken care of for a long time.

He is a little taller than before, looking like a young man who is close to maturity. He has a warm smile on his face and his eyes are slightly squinted to hide the sharp cold light in his pupils.

No matter how you look at it, this is a very normal human form.

The second state of the Cursed Seal seems to be the mature version of the normal state. Could it be that the Cursed Seal Chakra believes that this posture is the most conducive to Feng Molan's strength?

Doesn’t this go against everyone’s understanding of curse seals?

Doesn’t it mean that the greater the change and the less human, the greater the blessing of strength?

Why did Feng Molan do the opposite?

Unless, this is the result of the blood limit in his body or the influence of special power.

Seeing the more handsome and familiar appearance of Fuma Arashi, Tayuya asked tentatively:

"How are you?"

"Thank you. I'm fine. I'm just a little hungry. Can you get me something to eat?"

After seven days and seven nights without eating or drinking, it was indeed a bit unbearable.

Cursed Seal is not a man of faith. By squeezing his body for so long, the power stored in Feng Molan's body has long been squandered. If it weren't for the "wedge" to maintain his physical condition, he might have died long ago.

"That's great. As for food, we only have pills to increase our physical strength. You deal with them first and I'll ask others to deliver them."

As she spoke, Tayuya felt relieved and happily went outside to call for help.

After a fierce battle, it was a blessing in disguise that Feng Molan realized what a miraculous thing the thing in his body was. Without it, let alone the test of suspended animation in the second state of the Curse Seal, he would have been implanted.

died.

The threshold for using some things is really high.

When the news about Fuma Arashi in Oto Ninja Village came to an end for the time being, as the New Year was approaching, Kaguya Kimimaro, Ranmaru, Todo Kasumi and Kusanagi Kyo hurried to Konoha Village, and after handing over the task to Togakushi Hinode,

After a large amount of activity funds were withdrawn from the Katsura Discipline Office, they tried to integrate the armed forces stationed in Konoha Village and establish a brand new stronghold to protect the Furusugi family's forces nearby.

Because I have dealt with many people in Konoha Village, and the winner of the "King of Fighting" Challenge is not an ordinary person, and is quite famous.

Especially Kaguya Kimimaro, who defeated all the geniuses in Konoha Village. Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Neji, Haku and others were all defeated by his subordinates.
