Just then, Sasuke woke up, black chakra radiating from him. The Cursed Seal covered his body, and even his Sharingan had activated.
After waking, Sasuke felt his strength multiply. The sudden surge of power was intoxicating.
He clenched his fists and squeezed his eyes shut, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Hahaha, so this is power? It really is..." Before Sasuke could finish, Meihui cut him off.
"Hey, Uchiha Sasuke. What the hell are you doing over there? Get your ass over here."
Hearing that, Sasuke nodded and started toward Meihui and Naruto. As he walked, he thought, Wait a minute. I'm stronger now. Why should I still be scared of him? Screw him!
As the saying went, the skies had cleared, the rain had stopped, and Uchiha Sasuke thought he had what it took again.
"I'm telling you, Meihui, just because you're strong doesn't mean you can..." But when Sasuke looked up, he saw Meihui's scarlet, slit-pupiled eyes and the terrifying chakra fluctuations around him. His Sharingan let him see it all clearly, and he could also tell that Meihui was angry.
Then he glanced at Naruto's bruised, swollen face and the signs of battle around them, and more or less pieced together what had happened.
"Hm? Uchiha Sasuke, what did you just say?" Still fuming, Meihui shot Sasuke a glare.
Sasuke was so frightened that the Cursed Seal on his body immediately receded. He seemed to remember the terror of those days under the thumb of Meihui, that demon. This guy was genuinely ruthless-he really would beat him up. And then there was Naruto's bruised, swollen face.
Sasuke promptly walked over and asked Naruto what had happened.
When he learned that Naruto had been injured protecting him, Sasuke was deeply touched, but he still turned his head away, refusing to show it.
With great reluctance, he said, "Um, Naruto. Thank you." By the end, Sasuke's voice was almost inaudible.
But Naruto still grinned like an idiot. "It's okay, Sasuke. Hehehe."
Seeing Naruto like that, Meihui felt a little helpless too and forced himself to calm down. The Yin Nine-Tails had more negative emotions than the Yang Nine-Tails inside Naruto, making him harder to control.
And all these years, Meihui had relied on the system without ever taming the Yin Nine-Tails.
After a little while, Meihui finally suppressed that raging power.
He glanced at Sasuke. He had actually scared him into retracting his Cursed Seal.
"Uchiha Sasuke, come here. What appeared on your body just now was the Cursed Seal Orochimaru put on you. That thing will eat away at your body and mind. Come here, and I'll seal it for you."
Before Sasuke could figure out what was happening, Meihui walked over.
With a smack, Meihui slapped Sasuke on the butt, startling him.
That one simple slap sealed Sasuke's Cursed Seal. Kakashi, who had used up blood and struggled for ages just to barely seal Sasuke's Cursed Seal with the Evil Sealing Method, would have cried himself unconscious in the bathroom.
Just as Meihui and the others were about to set off for the Central Tower, he sensed several teams heading their way.
Once he saw that the arrivals included Kiba, Hinata, and Shino, Meihui thought nothing more of it.
He went with them to the Central Tower. Along the way, seeing that Naruto was injured, Hinata brought him medicine, bandaged him, and fussed over him constantly. Meihui was so envious he practically turned green.
The whole thing caught him off guard, but watching his little brother act completely oblivious to romance left Meihui anxious for him.
He really wanted to kick Naruto aside and take his place.
