Walking on the way back, after collecting the information, Aoki couldn't help but feel a little emotional, the invitation of the group was something he never expected, and even the difficulty of obtaining the information was smaller than he imagined, and the reason why he shirked not wanting to enter the shadows was a fact, and the curse seal was always a hidden danger.

Aoki was thinking about it for a moment, when suddenly a lazy voice came from the corner of a street that Aoki had just passed: "Hey, Xiao Feng, is my sense of existence so low?"

"Kakashi!" Aoki flashed around the corner as soon as the voice sounded, and saw the guy leaning against the wall and looking at the small notebook in his hand with drooping eyes.

"When did you come back?" Aoki asked happily, when they returned to the village a few days ago, Kakashi and the other Shinobi who were good with Aoki all went out of the village to do tasks, and the return date was uncertain, and they didn't share the happiness of promotion for the first time, which made Aoki a little disappointed.

"Just as you were waiting outside the door of Danzo-sama's office. Kakashi put away the intimacy heaven.

"I've heard that you kid is really bold enough to confront the village elders head-on. Kakashi said solemnly.

"Hehe, who made that old guy speak ugly?" Aoki replied with a smile: "What if he is an elder, if he talks nonsense and frames me, I will fight back, and I am also very measured, and I don't swear." ”

"Yes, yes, you are polite. Kakashi smiled and said, "Let's go, to celebrate your becoming a shinobi, I have a treat today." ”

"Then you have to eat something good, and don't use Ichiraku ramen to send people away. Aoki said.

"Don't worry, it's barbecue, the box has been booked, and it's waiting for you. Kakashi said with a look of less contempt.

When Aoki entered the box, he was really surprised, the box was already full of people, Maitkai, Asma, Sunset Red, Red Beans In addition, there is a Konoha ninja that Aoki doesn't know, although he doesn't know it, but from the iconic dark circles on his face and the sick face, his identity is not difficult to guess.

After greeting a few people who knew each other, Kakashi introduced, "Xiao Feng, this is Konoha Kamishinobi Moonlight Blast, our mission this time can be ended early thanks to the moonlight." ”

"Kakashi-senpai, I'm embarrassed that you said that, it's everyone's credit that the mission was successfully completed. Moonlight Wind hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Hello Moonlight senior, I'm Aoki Feng, please take care of me. Aoki said politely.

"Hello Aoki-kun, I heard that you are already a middle ninja, and it has been less than a year since you graduated, which is very powerful, and I will ask you to take care of it in the future, cough cough" Moonlight Wind shook hands with Aoki and said.

Although there is an unfamiliar moonlight blast, the celebration of the promotion of the middle ninja prepared by Kakashi and the others for Aoki is still lively, although it is a celebration for Aoki's promotion, but Aoki feels more that this group of Konoha shinobi is the pressure accumulated in the task, and the task of sending six shinobi at a time is not simple, although Aoki is curious, he didn't ask.

The barbecue, which was neither early or late, ended in a cheerful atmosphere, and Kakashi and the others had just finished their mission, and although they didn't say anything, the tiredness on their faces was obvious, so everyone went back to their homes.

Aoki was walking alone on the way home, when the sun was already setting in the west, and the afterglow was shining on the earth, and Aoki stopped to feel the warmth.

"I've been with me for so long, let's go out and bask in the sunset. Aoki said suddenly.

On a street corner behind Aoki, a female ninja in a brown trench coat walked out.

"I do have a shinobi look. The visitor nodded in approval.

"Red bean seniors. Aoki didn't expect that it was her who followed him.

"It's really not cute, you have to call it sister. Red Bean pretended to be angry and said.

"Uh... Sister Red Bean. "Aoki has been defeated.

"It's also very well-behaved to be a middle ninja. Azuki patted Aoki's head and said.

"Sister Hongdou, what are you doing with me. Aoki asked, but he had already guessed it in his heart.

"Xiao Feng, I heard that you met Orochimaru in the middle ninja exam this time?" Hongdou asked with a deep groan.

"Well, I did, and there was a while of being alone. Aoki said lightly.

"Do you feel anything?" asked Azuki.

"It's been toyed with between applause. Aoki said helplessly, the scene where Orochimaru finished a stand-in technique and broke his high-speed physical technique, Aoki will never forget it for the rest of his life: "It's really strong." ”

"yes, he's very strong. Red Bean's expression was a little gloomy: "Orochimaru...... He...... I used to be my teacher and I learned a lot from him. ”

"Well, I learned a lot from fighting him once, and I will never forget it. Aoki also sighed.

"Speaking of which, Orochimaru gave me a gift before leaving. Aoki said with a seemingly relaxed look.

When Hongdou heard this, he asked in a tight voice, "What... What gifts?"

Aoki turned halfway around and pulled down his collar and said, "They all say this thing is called a curse mark, and it sounds very powerful." ”

Aoki's death from the curse mark was only known to the high-level leaders of Konoha and Mizukage, except for Aoki's companions, and the red beans who had just returned to the village did not know.

Seeing that Azuki's eyes widened in shock, Aoki waved his hand and said, "Don't put on such a scary expression, Sister Azuki." ”

"Do you even know what this spell mark is?" Red Bean felt that Aoki hadn't realized the extent of the problem.

"Of course I do. Aoki cleared his throat and said his inference about the curse mark, which surprised Azuki to hear this.

"Who told you all this?, Hokage-sama?" asked Azuki.

"Hokage-sama has already given me the information from the time when the village studied the spell seal, but I haven't read it yet, and what I just made is my own judgment based on my own feelings since I received the curse seal. Aoki said, "Listening to what you mean, Sister Azuki, it seems that you know a lot about spell marks." Aoki asked knowingly.

Azuki sighed, took off his trench coat, and then turned his back and squatted down, and Aoki naturally noticed the curse mark on Azuki's neck.

"It's the same as mine. Aoki said.

After showing his curse mark, Azuki put on a windbreaker and pulled Aoki to the bench on the side of the street, and after the two sat down, they said: "You should know that Orochimaru used to be one of the three ninjas of Konoha, the pride of Konoha, my teacher, and later he defected from the village and was called a wanted criminal, and I was cast a curse mark during the time he defected, and I also lost the memory of that time. ”

"What happened later?" Aoki asked, the story Aoki didn't know.

"I don't know, I just remember that the thing burned all over my body like fire, and the chakra went berserk uncontrollably, and I almost lost consciousness, and finally was found and brought back by the shadows of the village, and then the three generations of Hokage-sama took action to suppress the curse mark, and that is when the village began to study how to treat the curse mark. ”

"Do you need to suppress it now?" Aoki asked.

"yes, that's the only result of that research, a way to suppress the curse mark. Azuki said, "So, Xiao Feng, this spell mark is really not a good thing, you are better like Hokage-sama to apply, I will teach you how to suppress it." ”

"The application has already been submitted, and Hokage-sama has agreed. Aoki smiled and said, "I'm now the leader of the spell mark research team that Konoha just established, do you want to apply to join Sister Azuki?"

"Huh?" Red Bean didn't turn around, "You mean you're going to study the spell mark?"

"yes. Aoki nodded.

"How is it possible?" Hongdou didn't believe it, she had already participated in this work back then, and it ended in failure, so she had to carry the curse seal, although she is used to it now, but it is still painful when she occasionally attacks, and more seriously, because of the relationship between the curse seal, many ninjutsu cannot be cultivated, which greatly suppresses her own growth space.

"How could it not be?" Aoki's eyes suddenly lit up: "Speaking of which, I think the direction of the village's last research on the curse mark itself was a mistake, just like what you just said about healing the spell mark. ”

"Yes, that's right. Red Bean nodded.

"I'm surprised, curse mark or something, why treat it, is it necessarily bad what Orochimaru left behind?" Aoki asked rhetorically: "I think Orochimaru has a way to torture a person, and there is no need for something as complicated as a curse mark at all, and through my own feelings, I think that the curse mark is a forbidden technique that Orochimaru has researched to enhance his strength." ”

Azuki was completely shocked, Aoki's inference overturned all the previous research, this is something that no one thought of back then, and now listening to Aoki say this, it is really possible.

Seeing Azuki's shocked look, Aoki smiled and asked, "How is it?" Sister Azuki, are you interested in joining my research group?"
