Curse Mark State Two

Chapter 35: Curse Mark: State Two

Shadow Snake Hand

Suddenly, a python coiled around his waist and yanked him backward. In an instant!

The blood-red, one-tomoe Sharingan only saw the red figure brush past him, but the gust of wind it generated stung his cheeks.

He swore! He had never felt a venomous snake could be so… friendly.

"Kushina!"

At this moment, Tsunade roared, smashing a giant rock with her fist and sending it flying directly at Kushina.

RUMBLE!

Only then did Uchiha Yoru's brain and body react. He turned his head, looking at Uzumaki Kushina's figure in the distance, and a furious expression appeared on his face.

The gust of wind from moments ago had nearly grazed his cheek; he had almost been blown to bits!

This feeling of powerless resistance, the tremor of death brushing past him, stirred an inexplicable ferocity within Uchiha Yoru.

The tomoe in his pupils spun rapidly, and a second tomoe slowly began to appear!

"Kushina!"

Uchiha Yoru stared at the red figure in the distance, gritting his teeth as he spoke each word.

He had almost been hammered to death by this little fox girl!

He hadn't been a ninja without facing death, but this kind of terrifying, powerless strength… it was only in his past life!

In this life, he would grasp absolute power!

RUMBLE!

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, who had unleashed the Four-Tails, could clash with one of the Sannin at their peak. Even in its current Three-Tails state, it surpassed most ordinary Jonin.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade – they were not yet the Sannin of their future peak.

"Damn it!"

On the battlefield, Jiraiya cursed inwardly.

Jinchuriki were terrifying, but they also had many weaknesses. They relied on instinct rather than intelligence, but the opponent was Uzumaki Kushina, which made them hesitant to go all out.

If they had truly acted ruthlessly, the three of them wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

"Tsunade, hurry up and seal it!"

Under the terrifying combat aftershocks, the entire forest had been flattened. The Konoha shinobi, hiding at a safe distance in fear, prepared to provide support at any moment.

This level of battle was beyond their participation.

Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall

A thick earthen wall suddenly rose before Tsunade, blocking an incoming wave of attacks.

Tsunade looked back and saw that it was Uchiha Yoru who had used the Ninjutsu, and she angrily exclaimed:

"You brat, are you trying to die!"

"Captain Tsunade, you continue preparing the sealing jutsu!"

Uchiha Yoru, who had appeared at this moment, was also emitting terrifying Chakra. At the same time, terrifying Curse Mark patterns visibly spread across his face.

At this moment, he released the limitations of the Curse Mark on his body. The Curse Mark spread from half his face to his entire face. Simultaneously, an unprecedented power surged within Uchiha Yoru's body.

This time, facing Tsunade's scolding, Uchiha Yoru revealed a solemn smile.

"Three minutes! Captain Tsunade, you yourself said my body's limit is three minutes!"

Under the sunlight, on this face covered in bizarre Curse Mark patterns, the usual malevolent aura was replaced. Tsunade, seeing him now, was taken aback.

"Jiraiya, Lord Orochimaru, three minutes! For the next three minutes, I will take Captain Tsunade's place!"

Uchiha Yoru shouted firmly, completely unleashing the restraints on his inner power. His Chakra instantly surged!

The three of them were positioned to contain Kushina here and await the sealing.

"This brat!"

Jiraiya's eyes widened in shock. Wasn't this kid only a Chunin? What was with this immense Chakra?

Orochimaru, who was restraining the Jinchuriki on the side, panted heavily. He glanced sideways with his golden snake eyes, revealing a desire for exploration of the unknown.

This was an unknown power!

"Brat, don't you dare die!"

Tsunade behind him took a deep breath, holding a sealing scroll in her hand and beginning to form hand seals.

Lightning Style: False Darkness

Instantly, terrifying Lightning Style jutsu shot out, targeting Uzumaki Kushina. Seeing this, Jiraiya exclaimed:

"Is this kid also a monster!"

In the original work, the Sound Four were only at the level of elite Chunin during the Chunin Exams. In their Curse Mark State One, they were comparable to Special Jonin, and in Curse Mark State Two, they could temporarily rival Jonin.

As Uchiha Yoru released the restraints on his body, black patterns began to encroach, darkening his skin and causing his muscles to bulge. His frame grew noticeably taller, while the black patterns on his cheeks shifted and his hair rapidly lengthened.

Curse Mark: State Two (Youthful Sage Body)

His fingernails sharpened, and beneath his dark gray, strengthened skin, the whites of Uchiha Yoru's eyes, now bearing a Two Tomoe Sharingan, turned completely black.

"Kushina! Snap out of it!"

After fully unleashing the Sage Body via the Curse Mark, Uchiha Yoru felt an unprecedented surge of power, but it also ignited a violent urge within him. He couldn't help but roar.

In an instant, he charged forward at incredible speed. Jiraiya and Orochimaru, both panting and their chakra depleted, exchanged a knowing glance and coordinated their efforts.

Three minutes!

They had heard Uchiha Yoru's words earlier, meaning he could only maintain this power state for three minutes.

During this time, Uchiha Yoru's strength would skyrocket, giving him the temporary combat capability to rival a Jonin.

RUMBLE!

They immediately engaged in battle. The difference was, Uchiha Yoru was getting pummeled.

This left Uchiha Yoru's Two Tomoe Sharingan utterly bewildered. No!

He had just seen the third tail of Uzumaki Kushina gradually dissipate, meaning her power was waning.

How could she still be this formidable with over two tails left?!

"Kid, don't get careless!"

From a distance, Jiraiya's eye twitched as he saw Uchiha Yoru get sent flying by a punch. This kid is too brave!

He's actually engaging a Jinchuriki in taijutsu!

Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet

With Jiraiya's assist, Uzumaki Kushina was repelled. At the same time, Uchiha Yoru seized the opportunity, let out a roar, and no longer dared to recklessly charge into close combat. Instead, he opted to leverage his speed advantage and use ninjutsu attacks.

RUMBLE!

Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Uchiha Yoru, the three of them, managed to confine the rampaging Jinchuriki within a specific area. The surrounding Konoha shinobi had long since scattered to safety.

However, looking from afar at this level of combat, countless eyes were filled with shock.

"What kind of monster is that! Can we even fight something like this!"

"Is this what a Jinchuriki is like!"

As countless people were stunned by this terrifying power, Minato Namikaze, who came from a commoner shinobi background, witnessed this kind of strength for the first time, his gaze also filled with daze.

Looking at Uzumaki Kushina in the distance, it was terrifying!

"This kind of power!"

He watched as a Tailed Beast Ball erased a large swathe of forest, as if a piece of the map had been wiped away. This terrifying, world-destroying power had to be under the village's control, otherwise, it would only bring disaster to the village!

The shock in Minato Namikaze's eyes gradually turned into resolve.

"Kushina!"

At this moment, Minato Namikaze showed a determined expression. It was then that he finally understood the Third Hokage-sama's intentions.

This wasn't just about power; it was for the village!

The terrifying power of a Jinchuriki must be controlled by the Hokage, or it would only bring disaster to the village.

His Hokage's Will had completely aligned with the Third's!
