Chapter 271: Seeing the Seams
The precious medicinal materials obtained from the Gusugi family made Mizuki's last doubts dissipate.
I got the Tiger Curse Mark and the activated potion from Orochimaru, and I have been buried in my heart for a long time.
In essence, a successful ninja school teacher is a very utilitarian, self-centered ordinary person.
If Orochimaru hadn't given him hope, and without Gusugi Bushui to clear the obstacles in his adventure, he might have been just an ordinary ninja who was depressed and wanted to cheer up but couldn't find a way to do it.
Now, it was he who had not resisted the temptation to come to this point.
He was not the only one who was planted with the curse mark, the heavenly curse mark in Mitarai Azudo's body had existed for so many years, and it still did not have a great impact on her daily life, which is enough to prove that the curse mark is not the key to depravity, but the magnified desire and unbridled ambition that will make it grow and grow and get out of control.
Looking at the man in front of him who was laughing wildly and his face was twisted to a hideous appearance, Xiao Chun slowly approached and pleaded:
"I'm sorry, Mizuki, I don't know, you actually bear so much pressure on weekdays, and I may not be a good fiancée if I don't care, but please don't continue to do stupid things, okay?"
"It's too late, Tsubaki, you don't know, this world is unfair to us civilians. You and I are both orphans who grew up together, so we should understand that what we struggle for all our lives may not necessarily get, many people have at birth. ”
Mizuki continued to laugh, his rampant face with a hint of bitterness,
"I've been told that the gap between people and people is bigger than that between people and dogs. However, I am not convinced! In terms of qualifications, I am not bad, and in terms of strength, I am stronger than many predecessors who do nothing. However, why is it that he has to be one step behind Yin Luka in the teacher qualification? Anyway, I'm not worse than him, right? And Asma's waste with the name of the son of the Hokage, obviously has such a good foundation, but he doesn't cherish it......"
It's just that he can't compare to the top geniuses such as Kakashi Hachiki, and even Ebisu, Shiranui Genma, Morino Yin Biki, and Yamashiro Aoba and others have a sense of existence than him.
Moonlight Blast, Maitkai, and Tsukai were all of a higher status than him.
When he was a child, he was rebellious and disobedient, and when he grew up, he ran away from the village, which dealt a huge blow to the prestige of Ape Fei Asma, and even if he is lost now, some people are dissatisfied with him.
In particular, the act of currying favor with Sunset Red in a different way made many compatriots in Konoha Village feel unworthy.
"Those, it has nothing to do with us, Mizuki, don't be obsessed anymore, go back with me, if you do something wrong, confess to the three generations, and you will definitely be dealt with leniently."
"It's too late."
Gently shaking the potion bottle in his hand, Mizuki's somewhat excited heart calmed down a little, took a few steps back, pushed the little Tsubaki who leaned over to the side, and then drank the liquid that shimmered with a strange glow.
In an instant, a cool chill entered the stomach, and then a warm flame burning sensation quickly swept through the body.
The torment that almost penetrated into the bone marrow made Mizuki can't help but scream loudly.
Immediately afterwards, streams of purple-black chakras continued to emerge from his body, and the chakras in his body were constantly squeezed and fused into a strange spell mark chakra, constantly overdrawing Mizuki's body, making him bear extremely terrible pressure in a short period of time.
After the initial shock passed, Mizuki turned into a tiger that was more than two meters tall, covered in fluff, and had a face that was several sizes larger.
Horrified at watching her fiancé turn into a tiger man standing and walking, exuding an evil aura all over her body, Tsubaki couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at everything in front of her in disbelief.
Mizuki, who feels good about himself, has been completely carried away by the surging power at this time, and has completely lost the ability to control his own emotions.
"Xiao Tsubaki, do you see it, this is the power I get, as long as I have this, even if it is the third generation, I guess I won't ignore my existence!"
Powerful?
Truly!
In the early days of the spell sign, it brought people a false sense of power.
After all, the curse seal chakra is also a type of immortal chakra, even if it is a much deteriorated version, it is still a level higher than the ordinary chakra.
In essence, the mantra is an incomplete immortalization.
The four of the sound ninja who opened the curse seal, who were able to protect the seriously injured Orochimaru, fought their way out of the heavy encirclement of the Konoha ninjas, and escaped smoothly, which is enough to prove how powerful they are when they have the curse mark and do not hesitate to die.
It's a pity that the Tiger Curse Mark that Mizuki got from Orochimaru is not even a "streamlined beggar version", but just one of the easy attempts.
Mizuki, whose strength, speed, and reflexes have been greatly improved, is eager to try how powerful he is, not only using his fists and feet to smash the surrounding rocks and trees, but also performing a powerful ninjutsu to plow all the surrounding land, and then trying advanced ninja manipulation methods that he couldn't do before.
When the chakra in his body was almost exhausted, he almost stopped.
"Tsubaki, this is my strength now, rest assured, I will definitely let you live a good life, and I will not always be a dispensable second-line ninja and flower farmer."
"This ...... Is there anything wrong with that? ”
"You don't understand!"
Mizuki had an attitude of having everything under control, and was about to withdraw the power of the spell seal, but suddenly found that his body was like a balloon that had been punctured, quickly drying up, and the power of blessing quickly faded, and his body, which was originally quite strong, became a shriveled refugee in the blink of an eye, and if he wasn't alive, he would even be recognized as Mu Nayin.
"What's going on? Where is my strength, obviously there is no mistake in the preparation of the potion......"
Mizuki, who knelt weakly, shouted the name of Orochimaru with a handful of snot and tears, as if he didn't believe that the big man would play a little person like himself with nothing to do.
As for Gu Shanbushui's side, the suspicion of doing tricks and feet is even less.
The types and shares of medicinal materials were all requested by Mizuki on his own initiative, and he mixed them by himself, and no one else had a chance to interfere.
Mizuki, who was already about to stand up, fell to the ground weakly and was helped up by the panicked Tsubaki.
It's a pity that the current Mizuki is so weak that he has problems with his five senses, he can't see anything when he opens his eyes, and his brain can't process any incoming sound signals, only bursts of weak and chilling cold breath emerge from his body.
Vaguely, Mizuki seemed to see the depths of his soul, the soul that had been eroded to the point of being riddled with holes.
"That'...... Is that me, how did I become the way I am now? ”
Later, all consciousness returns to chaos.
When Mizuki woke up again, he found that he was lying on a hospital bed, his body was still very weak, his body was in pain, and it was difficult to even move his fingers.
"What's wrong with me?"
The slight movement woke up Xiao Tsubaki, who was leaning on the bedside to take care of him, and when he saw Mizuki waking up, he couldn't help crying with joy:
"You've drunk strange potions and become what you are now. When I took you to the hospital and the doctors were helpless, your colleague Hisunrise Togakure helped out......"
"It's him! How did you save me? ”
"I don't know!"
Tsubaki shook her head,
"It is said to be the secret medicine of the Gushan family, and there is no such thing in the village, and it is impossible to find someone to ask for the formula."
"It's them!"
Mizuki laughed bitterly to himself,
"I'm afraid they've already figured out that I'm going to have such a day, right? That's right, the huge ancient cedar may not know what I want to do with those medicinal materials, and there must be someone who understands the pharmacology. ”
Even Mizuki, a layman who had been self-taught for a few months, could roughly understand the general effects and side effects of the potion that was concocted, but the "superstition" about the Great Snake Pill made him ignore the risks contained in it.
In fact, the harm is far greater than the worst predictions.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"It's more than ten hours, it's ...... Three o'clock in the morning the next day. ”
"It didn't take much time."
"You don't know, when I brought you back, the doctor told me to prepare for the worst."
The anger is like a gossamer, and the fate hangs by a thread is not enough to describe the danger of Mizuki at that time.
In Tsunade's absence, Konoha Village simply does not have the ability to deal with such critically ill patients, and at this time, most of them rely on the parties themselves to carry their own deaths and resign themselves to fate.
"Do you know about the three generations?"
"I came to visit, but I didn't say anything. There are also Yin Luka and others, they are very concerned about you, and now it's too late, so they all go back. ”
"Got it, I'm sorry for you, Tsubaki."
After reassuring his fiancée and going to rest, Mizuki also closed his eyes.
The powerful illusion of not long ago vanished, and it even felt much worse than before.
This should not be an overdraft caused by excessive consumption, but it is really destroyed enough by the Tiger's Curse Seal, which is likely to hurt the foundation.
Even if you recover later, it is likely that there will be sequelae.
If so, doesn't that mean that your future is even darker?
When he embarked on this path, Mizuki knew that there was no turning back.
It is unknown what happened to Orochimaru's side, but Mizuki had already prepared for the worst, and perhaps, the adult did not take the dispensable Zhongnin to heart.
So, where do you find your way?
With this suspicious incident of "mistaking medicine", it is even more impossible for me to mix up in Konoha Village step by step.
Just when Mizuki secretly prayed in his heart, no matter who he was, as long as he could fulfill his wish and was willing to pay all the price, in the depths of his heart, the dark and lightless corner, like the germination sound of breaking out of the cocoon, resounded in his mind, a small seed, rooted in the spiritual sea, constantly absorbing the essence of nutrients, blooming two delicate cotyledons.
"It's ......"
Suddenly, Mizuki recalled that when he talked to Young Governor Gushan face-to-face, the other party seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"In this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and when you feel that you have taken advantage of it, it often indicates a tragic ending that you are about to fall into a trap. The free one is the most expensive, and the average person can't afford it......"
"In this life, since the beginning of the croaking of the landing, people have been constantly trading with the outside world with their own things. Time, effort, struggle, money, family and friends, health, dignity and even soul and life. If you want to get something without giving anything, it's better not to think too beautifully. ”
At that time, Mizuki didn't understand what the other party meant, and it wasn't until now that he had a little understanding.
"yes, how could such a benefit land on my head? The world is unfair, how can I have the illusion of being swept up by fate?'
Does Orochimaru value Mizuki?
He even said that his teachers, students and comrades-in-arms would give up and take his compatriots for human experiments, would such a person be good to Mizuki for no reason?
There is also Young Governor Gushan, who is one of the richest and most powerful people in the entire ninja world, a big man who does not dare to slack off in the entire Konoha Village, why did he come to the door to say something, and easily got the precious medicinal materials that the outside world could not buy, just because he taught the course seriously and the effect was outstanding?
Don't be silly!
"So, am I now trading my dignity, my soul, and my life for the value of being used?"
When he was thinking about it, a dark blue liquid came out of his body, turned into a small human form, and looked at Mizuki.
"Don't feel ashamed of being used, many people don't even have the qualifications to be used. If you don't give, you won't get anything. Instead of thinking about this, think about your future! ”
"Are you...... Major Governor Furusugi? ”
In an instant, Mizuki figured out the pass.
"You're not stupid enough to know who saved you."
Through the split incarnation of the sea owner, Gu Shanbu Shui responded,
"Your strength and qualifications are not bad, but there is still a distance from the standard of genius, if nothing else, you will be a character ninja for the rest of your life, either becoming a background board for other people's success, or spending the rest of your life in obscurity."
"That'...... What do I have to value for a big man like you? ”
"Ambition, unwilling to be lonely and mediocre, and a strong desire to get ahead are the ...... I appreciate the most"
Gu Shanbushui replied,
"Everyone has a dream, but there are too few people who are willing to work hard and practice it regardless of everything, even if they betray their relatives and friends. This kind of person, even if it is an ethereal glimmer of life, is not willing to give up, and there is a cliff ahead, and he will not hesitate to jump over. ”
Such a person is too obsessed, so it is easy to be fanned and used.
The so-called will of fire and the education of the spirit of Konoha in Konoha Village are probably successful, and there are not many people like Mizuki among Konoha ninjas.
Therefore, Mizuki who was sent to the door is one of the few chess pieces left.
"I'm not a good person, aren't you worried that I will betray you in the future?"
Hearing this, Gu Shanbu Shui sneered:
"What's the difference between good and bad? It's just that the means of control are slightly different, so I'd rather deal with people like you......"
"That'...... Please take care of me in the future, Master Bu Shui. ”
