Because he is almost old, his old body exudes a hint of decay, and his slightly emaciated figure is no longer as majestic as it used to be. But his waist is still straight, and his eyes are still sharp, which gives people a lot of pressure.

"Hokage-sama!" Lei Bin saluted him first. No matter how utilitarian this old man is, his contribution to Konoha Village cannot be erased. The fact that Konoha Village has been able to maintain a peaceful atmosphere today is also due to the efforts of this old man for many years, and he has indeed dedicated his life to Konoha Village, worthy of the position and title of Hokage, which is very respectable.

Hearing the respect in Lei Bin's words, the three generations' originally grim face softened a little, "You are Mizuki, listen to Ibiki, do you have information about Orochimaru?" ”

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Lei Bin nodded, "Actually, I stole the Book of Seals to dedicate it to that adult. ”

"Oh, when did you meet Orochimaru?"

"A few years ago, I was very frustrated that I failed to pass the teacher qualification exam at the Konoha Ninja School and ran out of the village to relax. I didn't expect to meet Orochimaru-sama in the depths of the forest outside the village. Orochimaru-sama saw that I was in a thirst for power, so he gave me this. As he spoke, Lei Bin rolled up his sleeves and showed the three generations the spell mark on the forearm of his right hand.

"What is this?" When the three generations saw the curse seal, their eyes were slightly condensed, and their tone was a little heavier, "Spell seal technique? ”

"Yes, that's what Orochimaru-sama calls this technique."

"What's the effect?"

"This spell mark, which I call the 'Tiger Spell Mark', once unlocked, will allow me to gain the power of a tiger!" Lei Bin looked at the spell mark and said, "The amount of chakra, strength, and ability to resist attacks are instantly doubled, and the speed is increased by 5-10 times, and it can even achieve the effect of near-instantaneous movement!" ”

"Huh? Is it mainly a big increase in speed? The three generations of Hokage were shocked, but their faces were silent. He stretched out a hand, touched the curse mark on Lei Bin's arm, felt the power in it, and confirmed a guess in his heart. Then he asked Lei Bin, "Can you demonstrate the effect of this spell mark?" ”

"Yes, Hokage-sama!" Lei Bin nodded first, and then pointed to the shackles on his body, "It's just these ...... on my body."

"Take off the shackles for him." The third generation of the commander said to the shadow ninja who carried him.

"Hokage-sama, Mizuki is unpredictable, and we can't be sure if what he said is true or not, this ......" Morino Hiki couldn't help but remind.

"I can feel that what Mizuki said is true, and I can believe his words." Miyome said in a deep voice, "Ibiki, have you forgotten that there is a person in the village who also has a similar spell mark on his body!" ”

"You mean...... Red beans! After being reminded by the three generations, Morino Ibiki also remembered that there was also a former disciple of Orochimaru in the village, Mitarai Red Bean, and he also had something similar on his body.

"It's hard to say if it's the same spell mark, but it's certainly the same kind." Miyome took out his pipe, which never left him, and took a puff of the flue.

Seeing that Mori Nai Biki no longer stopped him, the Shadow Ninja stepped forward and removed the shackles from his hands and feet for Lei Bin.

In fact, these shackles were not ordinary shackles, they were sealed with chakras, and that was what restricted the prisoner's movements. If the chakra is not sealed, the prisoner can escape with an E-class ninjutsu "escape technique". And was sealed Chakra, in addition to the innate divine power like the Wind God and the Thor Brothers in the TV version of the anime, as well as ninjas like Akai and Xiao Li who specialize in physical arts, heavy handcuffs and leg cuffs can restrict a ninja's movements. On the other hand, the average ninja relies too much on chakra.

After being removed from the handcuffs and leg cuffs, Lei Bin felt a force in his body wake up from his limbs. Lei Bin sensed it, unlike the internal force of a warrior as warm as water and as an arm stretched out, the ninja's so-called "chakra" was full of the corrosive nature of a biological primitive instinct.

"Because most of the energy comes from biological energy extracted from the cells of the human body?" Mizuki groaned for a moment, without deep thought, the situation did not allow it.

Standing up, moving his limbs, recalling in his mind the way of the original Mizuki to unlock the spell mark, Lei Bin slowly injected the chakra in his body into the spell mark on his right arm, and used his own chakra as the guide to unlock the power of the spell mark.

In Lei Bin's perception, the "curse mark" on his arm seemed to suddenly come to life, and Lei Bin could clearly feel that some cells that did not belong to him were moving violently! There was a scalding, tearing, sharp pain in his forearm, but with it, a powerful and evil chakra poured out from the spell mark, spread throughout Lei Bin's body, and mixed with his own chakra.

Chakra itself is composed of two parts, one is the physical energy that is ingested from the 130 trillion cells of the human body, one by one, and the other is the spiritual energy that has been exercised through many cultivations and accumulated experience. And now, another strange chakra has joined in, mixed with the original physical and mental chakra, each of the three is one-third, maintaining a delicate balance, but Lei Bin feels that this balance is fragile.

"'Pseudo-Immortal'?" Lei Bin said in his heart.

The spell seal technique is a secret technique that Orochimaru extracts the cells of the Heavenly Giant and fuses the immortal art from the Dragon Cave, one of the three major psychic holy places, to make the transplanted person "immortal". Of course, to say that "immortalization" is completely a gold paste on the face, and this spell mark is completely incomparable with real immortal arts, and it can only be said to be a spell seal with some immortal characteristics.

Moreover, because the spell mark is not its own power, the natural energy it brings is very violent, has a strong corrosive nature, and will have great side effects on the body. Just like the immortal art of Miaomu Mountain will become a toad if it is not used well, this spell mark will bring irreversible alienation when used for a long time, such as the devil form of the second state of the spell mark, if the mind is not strong enough, it will eventually lose its mind, and the whole person will become such a monster.

In order to improve the survival rate of people who have transplanted the curse seal, Orochimaru divides it into the Heaven, Earth, and Ordinary Spell Marks to transplant them to others. However, only Mitarai Azuki and Uchiha Sasuke succeeded in the Curse Seal of the Heavens, and only Tayuya of the four of the four people succeeded in the Curse Seal of the Earth, and the others were only ordinary Curse Seals.

The spell mark on Mizuki's body is not as good as the ordinary spell mark, at most it is a half-finished product. Lei Bin had already felt that with the continuous influx of chakras of that evil intent, the sense of balance of the mixed chakra seemed to be weakening, and once the three were out of balance, the damage to the body would be very great!

As a last resort, Lei Bin used his powerful mind to begin to control the mixed chakra, and the amount of spiritual energy and physical energy also continued to increase, and controlled the speed and amount of the influx of the spell seal chakra, and the three energy mixtures returned to balance.

In the eyes of the three generations and others, the curse mark on Mizuki's right arm first turned blood red, looking like a red skull from a distance, and then a black line with a triangular head gushed out from the spell mark, quickly crawling all over Mizuki's body. And when the spell seal calmed down, Mizuki's appearance became a little alienated or beastly - the pupils of his eyes became thinner, the whites of his eyes turned green, he looked like a feline, his ears became larger and protruded to both sides like tiger ears, there were three black lines on each cheek like a beard, and there were black lines of the word "Wang" on his forehead, and his whole face looked like a tiger's head from a distance!

And the chakra fluctuations that came from his body showed that the amount of chakra on his body had increased by 3 or 4 times compared to before, which was extremely huge. In other words, the strength is very different from before!

"This power ......" Mori Naibi's eyes widened in disbelief, "such a huge chakra, it's like a different person!" I've seen Red Bean's spell technique, and the strength she shows is not as good as Mizuki's, could it be that Mizuki is more favored by Orochimaru-sama?! ”

"No, it's just superficially powerful." Miyome retorted, he saw something more, "Although it looks strong, chakra is too rough and chaotic, far less stable than the red bean, and it seems to be a defective product." But the form of expression is very similar to the curse mark of the red bean.,It's definitely the same thing.,It's just a different level.,It seems that the one of the red beans is more advanced.。 ”

Seeing that the three generations saw something deeper, Lei Bin withdrew the spell mark and appropriately showed "weakness".

"This surgery has a lot of side effects." Seeing Mizuki's "weakness" after using the spell seal, the third generation muttered.

"Yes, there will be a few days of weakness after each use, and there is no such thing as 'adaptation', the longer you use it, the longer it will take to recover from weakness." Lei Bin smiled bitterly, "When I first got this power, I was ecstatic, thinking that I could finally raise my eyebrows and become a strong man. But as time went on, I grew to fear it, because I didn't know what it cost me to get it, so I didn't usually use it until I had to. ”

"No wonder you didn't use the spell mark in your battle with Iruka and Naruto." The third generation made up for Lei Bin's brain the reason why Mizuki did not use the spell mark when he fought Naruto before, and this "reason" made him feel a little more good about Mizuki in front of him: although he acted wrongly, his conscience was still clear, and he still had the will of fire in his heart, and there was still the possibility of saving.

"Did you steal the Book of Seals to give it to Orochimaru in exchange for a stronger spell seal?" Miyome suddenly asked.

"What I want more is that Orochimaru-sama can see that I present the Book of Seals and remove this curse mark for me." Lei Bin smiled bitterly, "Don't hide it from Hokage-sama, if I want more power, I just need to unlock this spell seal to the second state." ”

"What? What you just demonstrated was just the first form of this spell seal? And a more powerful second form?! Mori Noi Biki couldn't help but exclaim.

The strength that Mizuki showed just now was already very surprising, you know, just from the amount of chakra, it was enough to endure it! But I didn't want to hear Mizuki say that it was not the first form, and there was a second form with stronger strength! How strong does that have to be? Elite Shinobi? Still is......

"It's not that exaggerated." Dispelling Mori Noi Biki's reverie, Lei Bin explained, "The second form is to make the alienation or beast transformation of the 'Curse Seal One' go further, if I unlock the 'Curse Seal Two', I will become a 'Tiger Man' with a tiger body, but although the strength will be further strengthened, I will lose the speed of the first state." And if you want to unlock the 'Curse Seal II', you also need to have the determination to die! ”

"Huh? How? Three generations asked.

"This," Lei Bin pointed to the curse seal, "this is not just a curse seal, but also a blueprint of a medicine dispensing device, a medicine tank used to prepare the secret medicine that unlocks the 'curse mark two'. And the recipe for that secret elixir ......"

As he spoke, Lei Bin reported a list of drug names.

“…… Most of them are highly toxic drugs! The three generations listened, closed their eyes and pondered for a moment, and then sighed. The medical ninja who can teach Tsunade, the third generation also has a certain degree of medical ninjutsu, and when he hears the name of the medicine, he can associate the specific approximate effect of the drug.

"The recipe for the secret elixir was given to me by Orochimaru-sama along with the spell seal, and he was told about a secret laboratory in the Konoha Forest. It took me a few years to study the recipe of this secret elixir, but I really didn't have the courage to configure it. Lei Bin said slowly.

"There are no shortcuts to the acquisition of power, and shortcuts are often accompanied by abysses, which you should have understood when you got this spell mark from Orochimaru." Miyome smoked his cigarette, "There is no such thing as a free lunch. ”

"I know now." Lei Bin nodded, "I also regretted it, I thought about solving this curse mark, but the method was obviously wrong again." ”

"It's not too late to stop the precipice in time." Miyome said, apparently satisfied with the information provided by Mizuki, "But since you did something wrong, you need to bear the consequences." Konoha ninjas are all people who dare to do things! ”

When Lei Bin heard this, he was overjoyed, as long as the three generations still recognized him as a Konoha ninja, half of the exclusive task would be completed.

"I'm willing to pay any price to make up for the mistakes I made!" Lei Bin said, "I also hope that Hokage-sama can forgive me!" ”

"Tell me about what you know about Orochimaru." Instead of answering positively, the three generations asked another question.

"I've only seen two sides of Lord Orochimaru," Lei Bin recalled, "The first side is what I said before, a few years ago in the depths of the Konoha Forest, Lord Orochimaru gave me a spell mark and a recipe for a secret medicine; The second side was that a few months ago, Orochimaru-sama suddenly came to me and asked me to keep an eye on the two children in the village, and told me that if I wanted to follow him, I would go to the vicinity of Tanokuni to look for him. ”

"Tian no Kuni?" The three generations groaned and said secretly: "Could it be the sound ninja village?" ”

"Who are those two children?" After thinking about it carefully, he had a few ideas, but the third generation quietly asked Lei Bin another question.

"They are Sasuke Uchiha, the orphan of the Uchiha clan, and Naruto Uzumaki, the nine-tailed pillar force." Raibin replied, "Orochimaru-sama didn't say why, but just asked me to keep a close eye on these two children's every move, and told me where they came from and who they were, as if these two children were very important to him. ”

"Sasuke and Naruto!" The three generations stared at each other, and said in their hearts: "Why should Orochimaru pay attention to them? What's his idea? What do you want to do? ”

Of course, recalling the identities of these two people, an orphan of the Uchiha clan and a nine-tailed human pillar force, they all have reasons to be coveted. Orochimaru has a habit of studying the blood limit, and it is not surprising that they pay attention.

It's just that Orochimaru has rarely appeared in the territory of the Fire Country since he betrayed Konoha Village, but in the past few years, he has been uncharacteristically active near Konoha Village, and has also subdued ordinary ninjas like Mizuki as his eyes and ears (the three generations don't believe that there is only Mizuki in the village, the shadow son of Orochimaru), and he also pays close attention to the Uchiha orphan and the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, and must be planning some conspiracy!

There were a lot of ideas, but there was no clear clue, and the three generations did not continue to think deeply for the time being, but turned their eyes to Lei Bin again.

"Do you have any other information besides that?"

"No, that's all I know."

"Hearing you say that, Orochimaru doesn't seem to have instructed you to steal the Book of Seals."

"Yes, Orochimaru-sama didn't ask for that, stealing the Book of Seals was my own improvised idea." Lei Bin explained, "The main reason is that the Book of Seals is so famous, and I began to want to see if there is a way to break the curse seal in it. And if not, I can also take the opportunity to ask for it to be removed from this spell mark by offering it to Orochimaru-sama. I did something wrong about this, and I hope Hokage-sama will understand. ”

“…… Tell me the address of Orochimaru's secret laboratory that you know. ”

"Okay, the address of that lab is in ......"

Lei Bin did not hide it at all, and told the address of the laboratory.

After speaking, he said to the three generations: "Hokage-sama, I don't know if this information can alleviate my sins?" ”

"The information is very precious, and if it is true, it will contribute to the village." The third generation said slowly, "But the authenticity of the information still needs to be verified, and you did make a lot of mistakes." The award is a reward, and the punishment is a punishment, and the two need to be distinct. If you are willing to be punished, serve three months in prison. ”

"Yes, Hokage-sama!" Lei Bin was immediately overjoyed. The crime that was supposed to be sentenced to several years is now only serving three months, which is definitely lenient, and Lei Bin is very satisfied with this.

There is also a sound of the completion of the exclusive quest, and the quest is rated as "Good". The reincarnation space prompted him to earn 3 C-level reincarnation cards and 400 merits, apparently he met the conditions and the faction switched to neutral. 100 more good deeds than the normal completion of the task, indicating that he has a higher degree of task completion, and he is given more rewards.

As for why it has not been directly transformed into the orderly camp, it is estimated that there are still some conditions that have not been met.

"Ding! Get side quests! ”

"[Victim's forgiveness]."

"Hint: Since you have remorse in your heart, go and apologize to the injured party and get the forgiveness of Iruka and Naruto."

"Mission Class: C."

"Reward: 2 C-level reincarnation cards, 200 merits."

"Failure condition: No understanding of the two men."

"Failure penalty: None."

Side quests with no time limit seem to complement their unfulfilled exclusive quests. However, based on the rules of the reincarnation space, 1 high-level reincarnation card can be decomposed into 3 lower-level reincarnation cards, and 3 low-level reincarnation cards cannot be combined into 1 higher-level reincarnation card.

However, Lei Bin was already very satisfied with the completion of the exclusive task. Moreover, the neutral camp is better than the good camp in Lei Bin's eyes, and there is more room for maneuver.

The verdict against Mizuki was handed down in person, and Miyome was leaving, and Lei Bin was also going to be sent to Konoha Prison to serve his sentence.

Before leaving, the third generation said to Lei Bin again: "As long as there are leaves flying, the fire will burn." The shadow of the fire will shine on the village and make new leaves sprout. The true power of a ninja comes into play when you want to protect the people you cherish the most. This is the will of fire that has been circulating in Konoha Village! You have blinded your heart and violated the will of fire for the sake of power. I just hope that you will always remember this sentence in the future and remember this will of fire! ”

"I see, Hokage-sama!" Lei Bin said firmly, "In the future, I will never forget what the true Will of Fire is!" ”

"Hmm!" Miyome left satisfied, getting information about Orochimaru, and he couldn't wait to verify the conjecture in his heart.

Someone from the shadows came and took a little of the cell tissue from his spell mark, and then Lei Bin was shackled on his hands and feet and taken to Konoha Prison.

After that, he was to stay there for three months.
