Prison Fortress! A Way to Remove the Cursed Seal
"Don't rush. Before the Reincarnation Ritual begins, Lord Orochimaru has assigned you a very important task," Kabuto said, adjusting his glasses.
Guren patted her ample bosom and assured, "Okay! Don't worry! I'll definitely complete this mission perfectly! (⑅˃◡˂⑅)"
Kabuto: "Let me finish..."
On the other side.
As if sensing something, Shinki and Naruto, who were boating on the water, turned around to look.
Five familiar figures appeared on the shore!
Upon seeing Naruto on the boat on the water, Hinata's face flushed with excitement. "Naruto- kun~!"
Meeting an acquaintance in a foreign land, Shinki patted Naruto on the back and gestured towards the shore with his chin. "Let's go."
After landing, Shinki and Kakashi had a brief discussion.
"Orochimaru's base is nearby?" Shinki asked in surprise.
Kakashi explained, "That's right. The main reason we brought Hinata's class along is because the people in their class are good at reconnaissance."
"You didn't know Orochimaru's base was here? Then what are you doing here?" Kakashi asked.
Shinki explained, "Remember Neji found that Akatsuki ring? I used the Akatsuki ring to get into the Akatsuki's communications department, where I learned that their next target was the Three-Tails in the Land of Water."
Kakashi:(´°Δ°`)
To achieve this level of skill with just a ring, only the Shinki could do that!
"That's right!"
Shinki seemed to remember something and said seriously, "After entering that space, I saw the eyes of the Akatsuki Leader! The whites of his eyes were purple, with rings of Pupil Patterns on them!"
Kakashi: ⊙▽⊙
"Are you sure?"
Shinki nodded. "Absolutely certain!"
Kakashi narrowed his eyes. "This matter is of utmost importance! We must report it to the Lord Hokage immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Shinki nodded and, after two seconds, used the Flying Thunder God to return to the Hokage's Office and relay the message.
The two sides chatted for a bit more until Kakashi said, "Since you both have your own things to do, I won't keep you any longer. Be careful."
Naruto and Shinki nodded and walked away.
After bidding farewell to Kakashi and his group, Shinki sat down on the ground.
Just like when searching for the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, expand your senses to the maximum.
Soon, he detected a massive amount of Chakra seventy or eighty kilometers away.
Meanwhile, the observant Shinki also noticed a familiar Chakra approaching the Three-Tails' location...
But he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly he felt familiar with...
Let's go.
After pinpointing the exact location of the Three-Tails, Shinki stood up, gazing into the distance with piercing eyes.
A dozen minutes later, the two, who were heading to the Three-Tails' location, arrived at the outer perimeter of a strangely shaped fortress.
After examining the area carefully, Shinki said, "There are many people here, and..."
Shinki frowned as he spoke.
This Chakra feels familiar... I've seen it somewhere before...
Thinking back, Shinki suddenly slapped his forehead. "That's right! The Chakra on these people is somewhat similar to the Breath in Sasuke's Cursed Seal!"
"Cursed Seal?" Naruto frowned upon hearing this.
He quickly grasped the key point. "So, this is Orochimaru's base that Kakashi-sensei is looking for?! (꒪⌓꒪)"
Shinki nodded. "Very likely, but I didn't detect Orochimaru's Breath inside this fortress."
Naruto looked thoughtful and suggested, "So what do we do now? Should we destroy it?"
Shinki began to ponder.
If nothing unexpected happens, the people in this fortress should all be experimental subjects for Orochimaru's Cursed Seal experiments.
Being captured and experimented on by Orochimaru was bad enough, but to be killed by him with a wave of his hand would be too unfair...
But if we destroy this fortress and set them free...
These people with unusual powers might cause harm to the outside world...
After much thought, I still couldn't find a good solution.
So, Shinki began to think about whether it was possible to remove the Cursed Seal from these people.
While the Cursed Seal power developed by Orochimaru can greatly enhance the user's abilities, it also places a tremendous burden on the user's body and carries the risk of the user going berserk.
Sasuke has one of these Cursed Seals, and once a method to remove Cursed Seal is developed, it will be useful sooner or later.
(•̀⌄•́)
More importantly, the fortress contains numerous Cursed Seal entities, enough for Shinki to observe and experiment with...
With that in mind, Shinki decided to sneak in first and check out the fortress.
"Boom!!"
Shinki used a Rasengan to break open the fortress gate!
Upon entering the fortress, it was discovered that the circular structure was actually a Prison!
The cells were connected one after another, forming a circle, and the circles were stacked one on top of the other.
A rough estimate suggests that there are nearly three hundred experimental subjects imprisoned here!
Furthermore, each of these test subjects was bizarrely shaped; some had half their bodies modified into cannon muzzles, some wore special bodysuits resembling plastic figures, and some even looked like seafood...
Most of them had ugly faces and deformed bodies, which were horrifying to look at!
It has to be said that when it comes to human body science research, Orochimaru is the one!
After the fortress gates were breached, the numerous experimental subjects imprisoned in solitary cells emitted shrieks!
"Who is this person? Is he here to let us out?!"
"I don't know, but these two don't look like Lord Orochimaru's subordinates!"
"Where is Lady Guren? Why wasn't it Lady Guren who came today?"
"Could it be that they've taken over from Lady Guren to manage this base?"
"Come on, these two kids look like complete idiots, how could they possibly manage this huge base..."
Shinki pressed his hands down, signaling the numerous experimental subjects to be quiet.
After the voices of the numerous test subjects subsided slightly, Shinki asked, "You are all Mutants created by Orochimaru, aren't you?"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
A simple question posed by Shinki sparked a huge response in the experimental questions!
"What Mutants? We are people whose powers were bestowed upon Lord Orochimaru!"
"The person upstairs is an idiot! They're using you as an experiment, and you're praising them!"
"Orochimaru is such a jerk! I was just getting home that day, planning to have some quality time with my wife, when Orochimaru's henchmen grabbed me! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"
"I just fell asleep in the woods that day, and when I woke up I looked like this, neither human nor ghost! (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"
"You guys are so unlucky. Am I the only one who volunteered for the experiment?"
"Me too..."
"Why are you calling us Mutants? You're the Mutants, your whole family are Mutants! I'll blast you to smithereens with a cannon..."
"Pfft--!"
The discussion abruptly ended!
Shinki sheathed the bloodstained Kusanagi Sword and smiled kindly.
"It's alright, it's alright, please continue."
"But if you say the wrong thing, you'll die! ∩_∩"
The Prison fell silent instantly!
Everyone fell silent, terrified!
Not only because of Shinki's ruthless methods of killing without hesitation!
The bigger reason is that someone recognized that Shinki was holding was Lord Orochimaru's personal sword, the Kusanagi Sword!
Seeing the silence of the crowd, Shinki continued, "Since none of you are going to speak, then it's my turn to ask."
"How many of you are willing to give up your powers and become ordinary people again? I might be able to help you, but it will require a small experiment..."
