~~~~~~~
In the basement of the high tower, Sasuke sat shirtless in the center of the Sealing Technique formation, while Kakashi continuously drew the Sealing Technique with his blood-stained fingers.
The crimson Sealing Technique extended from the Cursed Seal to all around his body, creating a very oppressive atmosphere... This scene, even for Sasuke who knew the plot, couldn't help but feel a slight tremor.
Leaving aside everything else... just this seemingly simple yet complex blood Sealing Technique would require at least 200 ml of blood to draw.
Kakashi, as Sasuke's personal teacher, was not just all talk... "Sasuke, just bear with it for a bit..."
As the technique was completed, Kakashi gave a warning and began to form hand signs.
Sasuke nodded, his nerves instantly becoming highly tense... not because he was afraid of pain, but because Orochimaru should be lurking nearby.
This made Sasuke have to be extra careful... "Evil Sealing Method..."
While Sasuke was on high alert, Kakashi completed the hand signs, slapped Sasuke's back neck, and shouted in a deep voice.
In an instant, the blood Sealing Technique covering Sasuke's body seemed to come alive, rapidly surging into the periphery of the Cursed Seal... forming a black Sealing Technique circle that enveloped the Heavenly Cursed Seal!
Sasuke, meanwhile, felt as if countless venomous insects were burrowing into his body... a pain like venomous insects gnawing at his heart, making him let out a low growl and pant like an ox... However, thankfully, the sealing was completed in less than three seconds!
And the situation was as Sasuke expected; with his greatly increased strength and abundant Chakra, he did not faint on the spot.
He was just weak and sore all over for a while... [Mission complete, reward obtained: Storage Sealing Technique...]
"Sasuke... if the Cursed Seal acts up again, the Evil Sealing Method should be able to suppress it!
However, this Sealing Technique is based on your will.
If your will wavers, the Cursed Seal will erupt again..."
Almost at the same time, the reward notification and Kakashi's repeated admonition came one after another.
"Thank you, Kakashi-sensei..."
Sasuke nodded politely, and in a blink of an eye, he had fully mastered the Storage Sealing Technique.
Now, if he wanted to, he could seal weapons or supplies into blank scrolls... truly an essential skill for home and travel... "I didn't expect you to learn a Sealing Technique of this level!
You've grown, Kakashi..."
Just as Sasuke was grabbing his clothes, preparing to put them on and leave, Orochimaru's hoarse voice suddenly rang out.
At the same time, a sinister, cold, and overwhelmingly oppressive Chakra enveloped the two of them... "Orochimaru!!"
Kakashi's pupils constricted, and he immediately turned to face the opponent, ready for battle.
"It's you..."
Sasuke's expression also became solemn, his dark pupils turning into crimson double Sharingan tomoe.
He had originally thought that since he was conscious, Orochimaru might not appear!
He didn't expect... well, he had overestimated the value of his own existence!
"Sasuke, run... Even if it costs me my life, I will hold him back here."
Hearing Sasuke's exclamation, Kakashi unhesitatingly pushed up his forehead protector and urged loudly.
At the same time, a bright blue light glowed in his hand, and electric arcs flickered, with the strongest attack, Chidori, ready to be unleashed... "You know I won't run, Kakashi-sensei..."
Sasuke refused without even thinking, as Orochimaru was now more eager than anyone for him to survive and grow quickly.
He wasn't in immediate mortal danger, so what was there to fear... Even if something unexpected happened, he had a way to deal with Orochimaru.
Did they really think he didn't know how to play dirty? Had he watched 720 episodes for nothing??
"Sasuke..."
Kakashi, unaware of Sasuke's thoughts, did not think that way.
While feeling relieved, he also felt incredibly ashamed!
If he hadn't been so complacent all these years, perhaps he wouldn't be in such a sorry state now... Damn it, he couldn't let this continue... "Hehehehe... Sasuke, you are still so excellent that I crave you... Kakashi, you are too impulsive!"
Orochimaru looked at the teacher and student, united against him, and commented sharply, his gaze falling on Sasuke's Sharingan eyes.
Such beautiful eyes, but unfortunately, they were only double tomoe... However, to be able to suppress the eruption of the Cursed Seal under his influence with just double tomoe.
It seems Sasuke's ocular prowess might even surpass Itachi's!!
"Is your target Sasuke's Sharingan?
Orochimaru..."
Seeing Orochimaru's greedy gaze, a sharp glint flashed in Kakashi's eyes as he probed for information.
If the target was Sasuke, then there would be less to worry about regarding Naruto... "Kakashi... the power of the Uchiha is very strong, isn't it?
You already have it, and I also really want to obtain it..."
Orochimaru spoke chillingly, not bothering to hide his ambition, completely disregarding Sasuke's presence.
This made Sasuke's face darken again... He wasn't some avenger who would disregard everything for revenge, even selling his body.
Was Orochimaru so reckless that he wasn't afraid of crashing and burning??
[No... this isn't recklessness, but Orochimaru's confidence.
It was this confidence that ultimately led to his downfall, giving him an adoptive son, Sasuke...]
Suddenly, as Sasuke complained, he suddenly understood the key.
Orochimaru was one of the legendary Sannin... how could he not have his own pride!!
If he hadn't been so disheartened by Itachi that he doubted life itself, why would he be so obsessed with the Mangekyo Sharingan...
"Sasuke, you have already experienced the power of the Cursed Seal.
Do you want to change your mind and come with me? I will give you the true power of the Heavenly Cursed Seal!
Before I obtain the power of the Uchiha, I will help you kill that man... Uchiha Itachi..."
Orochimaru's gaze shifted, and he tried to tempt him again; no, this time it was a temptation that struck deep into his soul.
"Sasuke, don't fall for it... he's after your Sharingan..."
Hearing Itachi's name, Kakashi's expression beneath his mask changed, and he shouted loudly.
He was afraid that Sasuke might accidentally be blinded by hatred... But Sasuke, behind him, didn't think that way; instead, his expression was strange... [Detected Orochimaru's malicious suggestion, triggering 10x C-rank reward.
Mission: Reject the invitation; Reward: Perfect Awakening Pill...]
Perfect Awakening Pill??
The mysterious pill that Awakens Cursed Seal Level Two??
He didn't even want Cursed Seal Level Two before, so what use was this thing to him!!
However, no matter what the reward was, there was no need to choose the answer.
But then again, if Orochimaru came to deliver wealth from a thousand miles away every time... that wouldn't be impossible... If not this time, there's always next time!
At this moment.
Sasuke's gaze towards Orochimaru was not as cold as before... If she kept coming to him regularly.
Then he was definitely going to be her adoptive son!!
"Have you decided, Sasuke..."
Seeing that Sasuke's gaze had softened, Orochimaru's heart rejoiced, and he asked again.
Indeed, Sasuke still harbored a deep-seated hatred for Itachi!!
This sudden change also made Kakashi's expression slightly change... "Since you're so enthusiastic about helping me get revenge?
Then bring me Itachi's corpse... When I see the corpse, I will acknowledge your sincerity..."
As Kakashi was about to speak to stop him, Sasuke said with a playful look in his eyes, politely refusing.
Instantly, this reply made both Kakashi and Orochimaru's expressions change again... Especially Orochimaru, whose pale face became even gloomier... If he could defeat Itachi, would he still need to come to you, Sasuke??
Wasn't this a slap in his face!!
"I will come for you again, Sasuke..."
Thinking of the powerlessness he felt under Itachi's Mangekyo, Orochimaru turned and left, feeling uninspired.
He would definitely obtain the Uchiha Mangekyo!!
