The Heaven and Earth Curse Mark does not appear wherever it is injected.
Otherwise, if Kimimaro's chest is in the middle, is Orochimaru going to hit him in the chest again?
The location of the Curse Mark can be controlled; theoretically, it can be placed anywhere. However, Orochimaru, just like in the Original Work, created a Three Tomoe totem on Anko's neck.
After seeing that Anko had fainted, Orochimaru quickly went forward to check on her condition.
"Hmm? Why is your body so hot?"
As soon as he touched her skin, Orochimaru felt the heat emanating from her body.
This was also the first time he had used the Heaven and Earth Curse Mark on someone else, and he had no clinical experience in this area.
However, Orochimaru does know Medical Ninjutsu, although he is not as skilled as Tsunade, it is enough for general treatment.
I checked Anko's heart rate and breathing and found nothing wrong. It was only when I touched her forehead that I realized she had a fever.
Moreover, this situation is quite different from a normal fever; the body temperature is much higher.
I carried Anko to a single bed in the laboratory, first used physical methods to cool her down, and then used a series of medical devices to measure her heart rate and brain activity.
"In addition to a higher body temperature, cell activity is also enhanced!"
After a while, looking at the experimental data that had just been recorded, these were the results of analyzing the blood samples that had just been collected from the Anko.
Orochimaru put down the lab report in his hand, took a sheet and covered Anko with it. At this time, Anko's breathing had stabilized and her body temperature had almost returned to normal.
The next morning, Anko slowly opened her eyes.
Because they were in a basement, the environment was somewhat dark, so Orochimaru only turned on a slightly soft light.
"You're awake! How are you feeling?"
Before Anko could even see her surroundings clearly, Orochimaru's voice rang in her ears.
Anko turned her head and saw the digital figure sitting by the bed, with Orochimaru gently stroking her forehead.
"Teacher, what's wrong with me?"
Seeing her somewhat confused look, Orochimaru didn't hide anything and told her about the Heaven and Earth Curse Mark, otherwise he was afraid that the little one would overthink things.
After listening to Orochimaru's explanation, the doubt in Anko's eyes gradually faded, and the fear deep in her eyes slowly dissipated.
"I told you it would be a surprise, but if I told you beforehand it wouldn't be a surprise anymore. You won't blame your teacher, will you?"
Orochimaru gently comforted Guren, explaining the whole story to her.
"No, it's just a bit too sudden. Anko believes that the teacher has a reason for doing this!"
She's still as innocent and naive as ever, and a few words from her have put Anko at ease.
Perhaps it was because Anko's body was too weak, or perhaps it was because the Earth Curse Mark of the Uzumaki Clan was too domineering.
For the next three days, Anko stayed in bed. Orochimaru didn't go to the Root lab; he stayed in his own lab to conduct experiments and take care of Anko.
How are you feeling?
On this day, Orochimaru came to the underground laboratory as usual. Anko had recovered and was stretching her legs and loosening her muscles.
"Yes! Everything's fine now, and I feel like I have inexhaustible strength in my body. My Chakra has increased significantly!"
Anko excitedly told Orochimaru, her little face flushed with excitement.
It's important to know that most ninjas are born with a certain amount of Chakra, and it's extremely difficult to improve it through training.
This is why many elite ninjas are meticulous in their calculations, saving Chakra to the extreme, making every bit count.
Among the best are Itachi and Kakashi. Although they don't have much chakra, they can still unleash tremendous power.
"I never imagined that the Earth Curse Mark would have such an effect even when it's not unsealed!"
Even a small amount of radiation from the Uzumaki Clan's cells brings a significant boost to the host, so it seems this Curse Mark is quite effective!
Seeing that Anko was in high spirits, Orochimaru decided to further observe the effects of the Earth Curse Mark.
"Show me the power of the Curse Mark."
Upon receiving Orochimaru's order, Anko did not hesitate; she had been eager to try for a long time.
When she recovered, she could feel a powerful force seemingly sealed at the neck.
However, this power was somewhat violent, and she dared not use it lightly without Orochimaru by her side.
Now that Orochimaru had given his permission, he naturally no longer hesitated.
The next moment, the Three Tomoe pattern on Anko's neck gradually dispersed, and then two black patterns appeared below her eyes.
It looks a bit like the red mark on Jiraiya's face, but more like Orochimaru's appearance in Sage Mode.
Her eyes gradually transformed into Orochimaru's snake eyes, and more noticeably, her black hair had turned red, just like that of the Uzumaki Clan.
"Ahhh...!"
As the Anko Curse Mark was released, a violent and powerful Chakra emanated from her body.
The airflow generated also made the surrounding experimental equipment shake and the glass test tubes clink and clang.
"This level of Chakra is comparable to most Jonin!"
Seeing the changes in Anko, Orochimaru's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he were admiring a brand new work of art.
In the Original Work, Anko never used the Curse Mark, but Orochimaru thought the situation must be different from what he was seeing now.
Like the Eight Gates, the power of the Curse Mark can be increased according to an individual's strength. When both Might Guy and Might Dai open the Gate of Death, Might Duy is still inferior to Might Guy.
Such an increase is determined by the host's growth. The stronger the host, the stronger the Curse Mark will be, and the stronger the power that can be exerted will naturally be.
A knife has different effects in the hands of a child and an adult.
However, before Orochimaru could observe for a while longer, Anko collapsed to the ground, and the changes in her body quickly returned to normal.
"Huff... Teacher... I...!"
Orochimaru quickly went over to check on her condition and was relieved to find that she was just a little exhausted.
"The power of the Curse Mark is too violent, I... am losing control of it."
Anko was panting heavily. In just a short while, her face was covered with sweat, and her hands and feet were trembling slightly uncontrollably.
It seems that while the Curse Mark grants her power, it also places a greater burden on her body; it is not without its price.
"You've done very well. It's normal to feel uncomfortable the first time you use it. With more practice, I believe you can master it!"
Instead of scolding her for being so disappointing, Orochimaru gently patted her head. After all, not everyone is Uchiha Sasuke, and one shouldn't be too demanding.
"Yes!! I definitely won't let the teacher down!"
With Orochimaru's comfort and encouragement, the shame and disappointment in Anko's eyes vanished, replaced by a fighting spirit that refused to give up.
Orochimaru liked her obedient, stubborn, and defiant little eyes.
