Ahead, Anko turned around and happened to see Sasuke being bitten on the shoulder by Orochimaru. Her gaze sharpened!

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!"

Anko a loud shout, dozens of snakes shot out from her sleeve and attacked Orochimaru!

Meanwhile, Orochimaru's body was slowly dissolving like mud.

Faced with Anko's attack, Orochimaru revealed a disdainful smile, "Heh, you can't defeat me with what I taught you, Anko."

"Also, you'd better not stop the Chunin Ninja Exams because of my appearance, or I'll destroy the entire Konoha."

After saying this, Orochimaru dissolved into the earth like a pool of liquid and disappeared!

Anko stomped her foot in frustration. "Damn it, he got away again!!"

Naruto cried out anxiously, "Examiner, come quick! Sasuke dying!"

Upon hearing this, Anko hurriedly came forward.

At this moment, Sasuke's entire body was covered in black stripes. He was writhing on the ground in pain, occasionally letting out a few roars.

Anko pulled open Sasuke 'Sasuke collar and looked at his shoulder.

There, a black Mitsudomoe Curse Mark was slowly taking shape!

"This is the Cursed Seal of Heaven!" Anko said in a deep voice.

"What's the meaning?"

Shinki asked, equally anxious.

Anko revealed what she knew. "The Cursed Seal was developed by Orochimaru after studying someone with a naturally born Sage Body. It can be applied to a person through a snake bite."

"The survival rate of those who are blessed with Cursed Seal is only one in ten."

"High risk often comes with high reward. If the Cursed Seal is successfully transplanted, the person who obtains Cursed Seal will possess immense power, but that power is difficult to control and carries the risk of going berserk."

Shinki frowned, looking at Sasuke lying on the ground in agony. "So, Sasuke only has a one in ten chance of surviving?"

"Yes, whether the transplant will be successful depends on his own fate."

Mitarashi Anko sighed, "Once bitten by Orochimaru, the transplantation of the Cursed Seal is irreversible."

"Is there any way to help relieve his pain or improve his survival rate...?"

Shinki continued to ask, though he knew his questions might be somewhat naive.

In response, Anko said, "Sealing Jutsu can be used. Certain Sealing Jutsu can suppress the power of Cursed Seals. As for whether they can improve the survival rate, I don't know..."

Shinki nodded upon hearing this, seemingly lost in thought.

He had heard of Sealing Jutsu when he was at the Ninja Academy, but the Ninja Academy did not teach them specifically.

Because most Sealing Jutsu are passed down within a clan, they are not easily exposed to outsiders.

So, while Sasuke was writhing in pain, Shinki sat down beside him and began to think.

Could you use the Curse Mark you've learned to create a Sealing Jutsu to alleviate Sasuke's pain while simultaneously enhancing the effects of the Cursed Seal on him...?

Two minutes later, Shinki seemed to have thought of something.

So he took out a brush from his Ninja Tool Pouch and began to draw Curse Mark...

Seeing this, Mitarashi Anko immediately became anxious.

"What are you doing? The wrong Curse Mark could hasten Sasuke's death!"

"Besides, even I don't know Sealing Jutsu, which are extremely difficult. What could a little kid like you possibly draw?"

"I never said I'd use Sasuke for experiments."

Shinki shrugged.

After saying that, he walked into the center of the sealing formation.

He can solve the problem by doing the experiment himself.

But if the Curse Mark is drawn incorrectly and applied to Sasuke, he might die...

Next, Shinki activated Sealing Jutsu, intending to try sealing some of his own Chakra first.

As he completed the hand seals, countless spells surged into his body, covering his skin.

Ultimately, a tree-shaped image formed at the base of his spine!

Anko was stunned:...(꒪⌓꒪)

This kid can actually use Sealing Jutsu?!

And it was something she had never seen before?!

Generally speaking, sealing Cursed Seal can only be used with Evil Sealing Method.

However, this Sealing Jutsu can only reduce the effect of the Cursed Seal on the host after successful transplantation.

As for why Anko knew this, it's because she herself possessed one.

And this Red-Haired Kid in front of me actually knows other Sealing Jutsu!

"This kid has red hair, he must be from the Uzumaki Clan, right?"

Anko casually asked Naruto was standing next to her.

"I don't know, I've never heard of the surname Shinki before. Shinki and I are both orphans. But speaking of which, I'm from the Uzumaki Clan! ( ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧"

Naruto said, pointing to himself.

"No family... then who did he learn the Cursed Seal from?" Anko continued to ask.

"No... By the way, it seems there's a teacher in Shinki who works in the Anbu."

Naruto thought for a moment before answering.

Anko clapped her hands excitedly!

That makes sense!

It must have been someone from the Anbu who taught the Red-Haired Kid the Sealing Jutsu!

Otherwise, the origin of this kid's Sealing Jutsu cannot be explained!

Surely this kid didn't just figure it out himself?!

Beside the two, the Sealing Jutsu that Shinki had been performing on himself had actually succeeded, sealing half of the Chakra in his body and reducing his perception of pain.

So, Shinki began to draw the sealing Curse Mark, making a set for Sasuke as well.

A few minutes later, the Curse Mark was completed.

Shinki pushed the writhing, agonizing Sasuke into the center of the Curse Mark!

Then, Shinki rapidly changed his hand seals!

"Pain-Reducing Sealing Jutsu!" (A silly name that Shinki came up with himself.)

After shouting, all the black Curse Mark surged into Sasuke's body!

A few dozen seconds later, all the Curse Mark converged on the Tomoe Cursed Seal on Sasuke's shoulder!

It formed a large tree-shaped pattern!

The tree-like pattern envelops the Mitsudomoe -shaped Cursed Seal!

The effects were immediate once this form was formed!

Sasuke, who had been writhing on the ground in pain, immediately stopped screaming!

The Cursed Seal covering his body slowly faded away!

"Wow... how amazing!"

Anko was surprised and couldn't help but exclaim.

If I had this Sealing Jutsu when Orochimaru cast the Cursed Seal on me, I wouldn't have suffered so much!

Anko suddenly sidled up to Shinki and asked anxiously, "Hey, kid, where did you learn Sealing Jutsu? Who are you with in the Anbu?"

"That's very simple."

Shinki shrugged.

He combined the Curse Mark into Sealing Jutsu, which could be found in the Konoha Library; it was very simple, so this Sealing Jutsu was indeed not difficult for him.

"Don't get too cocky, kid! Tell me right now, who taught you this Sealing Jutsu?! This Sealing Jutsu is extremely useful; I need to report it to the higher-ups!"

Anko looked anxious.

Shinki nodded. He didn't intend to hide anything from such a simple thing. He found a piece of paper and wrote down all the specific Curse Mark on it.

Anko took the Curse Mark written by Shinki, but after only a cursory glance, she was utterly astonished by its contents!

"You actually made annotations based on the specific circumstances of each situation?!"

"How do you know that using these few Curse Mark can produce completely different and wonderful effects!"

To this, Shinki shrugged and said quite naturally, "Because I just came up with this idea. ┐(´-`)┌"
