"Lord Sasuke, without a special method to help activate the cursed seal second state, the cursed seal's power will consume all the life force in your cells within a dozen or so minutes."
Sakon handed Sasuke the Calming Pills. "In other words, unless you die once first, you'll truly die within a dozen or so minutes of activating the cursed seal second state."
He saw Lord Sasuke's expression shift slightly.
Kidomaru chimed in, "But Lord Orochimaru chose you, so we've already made every preparation."
Tayuya and Jirobo nodded as well.
Seeing the four of them looking so solemn, Sasuke glanced at the Glass Medicine Bottle in his hand and instinctively swallowed.
From the moment he decided to leave Konoha, Sasuke had known exactly what he wanted.
After taking a moment to compose himself, Sasuke opened the Glass Medicine Bottle, and a sharp, pungent smell immediately hit his nose.
Sasuke tipped out a red pill and swept his gaze over Sakon and the others. "I'll leave everything after this to you."
"Of course."
"Don't worry. We've prepared everything."
At that, Sasuke tipped his head back and swallowed the so-called Calming Pill without hesitation.
Yet only moments after the pill slid down his throat,
Sasuke felt an overpowering force instantly seal off the chakra pathways around his heart.
Death felt so close. Cold sweat covered Sasuke's face, and he clutched his chest tightly with his right hand before sinking helplessly to his knees with a groan. Soon, his eyes closed, and his breathing stopped.
Seeing this, Sakon immediately urged the others, "Hey, hurry up! Don't let anything happen to Lord Sasuke!"
As he spoke, Sakon took the scroll off his back, unrolled it, and laid it on the ground.
"Release!"
Poof!
As a cloud of smoke settled, a barrel-shaped coffin appeared.
