Ninja Ice House

The precious medicinal materials obtained from the Gushan family made Mizuki's last trace of doubt dissipate.

I got the Tiger Curse Seal and the activated potion from Orochimaru, and I have buried it in my heart for a long time.

In essence, a fairly successful ninja school teacher is a very utilitarian, self-centered ordinary person.

If there is no Orochimaru to give him hope, and there is no Gushan Boshui to clear the obstacles on his adventure, he may be just an ordinary ninja who wants to cheer up but can't find a way all his life.

Now, at this point, it was because he himself did not resist the temptation.

He was not the only one who was planted with the seal of the curse. The curse seal of heaven in Mitarai Anko's body has existed for so many years, but it still has not had a great impact on her daily life. It is enough to prove that the seal of the curse is not the key to making people fall. It is the magnified desire and unrestrained ambition that will make it grow and grow out of control.

Looking at the man in front of him who was laughing wildly, his face distorted into a ferocious appearance, Xiao Chun approached slowly, begging:

"I'm sorry, Mizuki, I don't know, you have been under such a lot of pressure on weekdays, and I may not be a good fiancée because I don't care, but please don't continue to do stupid things, okay?"

"It's too late, Xiaochun, you don't know that this world is unfair to common people like us. You and I are orphans who grew up together, so you should understand that there are many things that we may not be able to obtain after fighting for a lifetime. Humans are born with it."

Mizuki continued to smile, with a hint of bitterness on his rampant face,

"Someone told me that the gap between people is bigger than that between people and dogs. But I don't accept it! In terms of aptitude, I am not bad, and in terms of strength, I am better than many mediocre seniors. But why did I pass the exam as a teacher? The qualifications are even one step behind Yin Luka? How can I say that I am no worse than him? And Asma, that waste who bears the name of Son of Hokage, obviously has such a good foundation, but he doesn't cherish it..."

It's nothing more than top geniuses like Hatake Kakashina, and even Ebisu, Shiranui Genma, Morino Yoshihiki, and Yamashiro Aoba have more presence than him.

The status of Moonlight Gale, Maitkai, and Paradise, who were once behind him, were all higher than him.

Rebellious and disobedient when he was a child, and ran away from the village when he grew up, the blow to Asma Sarutobi's reputation was huge. Even if he lost his way now, some people still feel dissatisfied with him.

In particular, the behavior of trying to please Yuhihong in different ways made many compatriots in Konoha Village feel worthless.

"Those have nothing to do with us, Mizuki, don't be obsessed anymore, go back with me, if you do something wrong, confess to the third generation, and you will be lenient."

"That's too late."

Gently shaking the potion bottle in his hand, Mizuki's agitated heart calmed down a little, he took a few steps back, pushed Xiao Chun who was leaning over to the side, and then drank the liquid that shone with strange brilliance in one gulp.

In an instant, a cool feeling of coldness entered the stomach, and then a burning sensation of burning flames rose up, quickly attacking the whole body.

Mizuki couldn't help but screamed loudly due to the almost bone-deep torment.

Immediately afterwards, strands of purple-black chakra emerged from his body continuously, and the chakra in his body was continuously squeezed and fused into a strange curse-sealed chakra, which continuously overdrawn Mizuki's body, causing him to suffer extremely terrifying in a short period of time. pressure.

After the initial shock passed, Mizuki, who had endured all hardships, turned into a man over [-] meters tall, covered in fluff all over his body, with a face shaped like a tiger that was several sizes bigger.

Seeing in horror that her fiancé turned into a standing and walking tiger man exuding an evil aura, Xiao Chun couldn't help covering her mouth, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked at everything in disbelief.

Mizuki, who feels good about himself, has been completely dazzled by the power of the skyrocketing at this time, and has completely lost the ability to control his emotions.

"Xiao Chun, have you seen it? This is the power I got. As long as I have this, even the third generation will not ignore my existence!"

powerful?

indeed!

In the initial stage of the spell seal outbreak, it really gave people a false sense of power.

After all, curse seal chakra is also a kind of fairy chakra, even if it is a much degraded version, it is still a level higher than ordinary chakra.

In essence, mantra-printing is incomplete immortalization.

The four Otonin who had unlocked the curse seal were able to protect the seriously injured Orochimaru, cut a bloody path from the heavy siege of Konoha ninjas, and escaped smoothly, which is enough to prove that with the curse seal and at the same time, the How powerful it is.

It's a pity that Mizuki obtained the Tiger's Curse Seal from Orochimaru, which is not even a "simplified beggar's version", but just one of the random attempts.

Whether it is strength, speed or reaction ability, Mizuki has been greatly improved. He is eager to try how powerful he is. The surrounding land was plowed all over, and then I tried the advanced ninja manipulation method that I couldn't do before.

After the chakra in the body was almost exhausted, it almost stopped.

"Xiao Chun, this is my current strength. Don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life. I won't always be a dispensable second-tier ninja and flower farmer."

"What's wrong with this...?"

"You do not understand!"

With an attitude that everything is under control, Mizuki is about to withdraw the power of the curse seal, but suddenly finds that his body is like a balloon that has been punctured, quickly withering, and the power of blessing quickly fades. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a shriveled refugee. If he was not alive, he would even be recognized as a mummy.

"What's going on here? Where did my strength go? It's clear that there was nothing wrong with the preparation of the medicine..."

Mizuki, who was kneeling weakly, called Orochimaru's name with snot and tears, as if he didn't believe that big man would play with such a small man like himself in his spare time.

As for Gushan Bushui, the suspicion of tampering is even less.

The types and proportions of medicinal materials were all requested by Mizuki on his own initiative, and he prepared it himself, and there was no chance for others to intervene.

Mizuki, who was about to be unable to stand up, fell weakly to the ground, and was helped up by the panic-stricken Xiaotsubaki.

It's a pity that the current Mizuki is so weak that all five senses have problems. When he opens his eyes, he can't see anything, and his brain can't process any incoming sound signals. Only waves of weak and chilling cold breath emerge from his body. .

Vaguely, Mizuki seemed to see the depths of his soul, the soul that was eroded and riddled with holes.

"Then...is it me? How did it become like this?"

After a while, all consciousness returned to chaos.

When Mizuki woke up again, he realized that he was lying on the hospital bed, his body was still very weak, his whole body was in pain, and it was difficult to even move his fingers.

"What's wrong with me?"

The slight movement awakened Xiao Chun, who was leaning on the bedside to take care of her, and when she saw Mizuki woke up, she couldn't help crying with joy:

"After you drank a strange potion, you became what you are now. I sent you to the hospital, and when the doctors were helpless, your colleague Togakushi Hinode-sensei helped..."

"It's him! How did you save me?"

"do not know!"

Xiaochun shook her head,

"It is said that it is the secret medicine of the Gushan family. There is no such thing in the village, and it is impossible to ask someone for the formula."

"It's them!"

Mizuki laughed bitterly at himself,

"I'm afraid they have already guessed that I will have such a day, right? That's right, the huge ancient cedar may not know what I want those medicinal materials for. Someone must understand the properties and pharmacology of the medicinal materials."

Even Mizuki, a layman who has been self-study for several months, can roughly understand the efficacy and side effects of the formulated medicine, but his "superstition" about Orochiwan made him ignore the hidden risks.

Even, the harm it brings far exceeds the worst estimate.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"A dozen hours or so, it's... three o'clock in the morning the next day."

"That didn't take long."

"You don't know, when I brought you back, the doctor told me to prepare for the worst."

Qi Ruoyousi, life hanging by a thread is not enough to describe the degree of danger of Mizuki at that time.

Without Tsunade, Konoha Village simply does not have the ability to deal with such critically ill patients. At this time, most of them are left to the responsibility of the parties themselves, resigned to their fate.

"Does the third generation know?"

"I came to visit and didn't say anything. Yin Luka and others are very concerned about you. It's too late now, and they all went back."

"Understood, I have caused you trouble, Xiaochun."

After reassuring his fiancée to rest, Mizuki also closed his eyes.

The powerful illusion not long ago disappeared, and even felt much worse than before.

This should not be an overdraft caused by excessive consumption, but that it was really devastated by the Tiger's Curse Seal, which may have hurt the foundation.

Even if it recovers in the future, it is likely to leave sequelae.

If this is the case, doesn't that mean that his future is even more bleak?

When he embarked on this path, Mizuki knew that there was no turning back.

It is still unknown what happened to Orochimaru, but Mizuki had already prepared for the worst. Perhaps, that adult didn't take the dispensable chunin to heart.

So where do you go to find your way out?

With this suspicious incident of "taking medicine by mistake", it is even more impossible for me to get ahead in Muye Village step by step.

Just praying secretly in Mizuki's heart, no matter who it is, as long as he can fulfill his wish and is willing to pay all the price, deep in his heart, in a dark corner, the sound of germination resounding in his mind like a cocoon, A tiny seed, rooted in the sea of ​​spirits, continuously absorbs the nutrient essence, and blooms two delicate cotyledons.

"This is……"

Suddenly, Mizuki recalled the half-smile that the other party had when he talked face-to-face with Gushan Shaodu.

"In this world, there is no free lunch. When you feel that you have taken advantage of it, it often indicates the tragic ending of falling into the trap. The free one is the most expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford such a price... "

"A person's life, since he was born, is constantly trading with the outside world with his own things. Time, hard work, struggle, money, relatives and friends, health, dignity, and even soul and life. If you want nothing, don't give it. If you have something to gain, it’s better not to think too much about it.”

At that time, Mizuki didn't understand what the other party meant, and only now did he have a little understanding.

『Yeah, how could such a benefit land on my head?This world is unfair, how can I have the illusion of being swept up by fate? 』

Will Orochimaru value Mizuki?

He even gave up on his own teachers, students, and comrades-in-arms, and used his compatriots for human experiments. Would such a person treat Mizuki nicely for no reason?

There is also Gushan Shaodu, who is one of the richest and most powerful people in the whole ninja world, a big man who dare not neglect the whole Muye village, why come to talk about things by himself, and easily get the money that the outside world can't buy The precious medicinal materials, just because I teach the courses seriously and the effect is outstanding?

Do not be silly!

『So, am I now exchanging my dignity, soul and life for the value of being used? 』

While thinking about it, a cloud of faint blue liquid emerged from his body, turned into a small human figure, and looked at Mizuki.

"Don't think there is any shame in being used. Many people don't even have the qualifications to be used. If you don't pay, you will definitely not get anything. Instead of thinking about these things, you might as well think about your future!"

"You are... Young Governor Gushan?"

In an instant, Mizuki figured out the pass.

"You are not stupid, you know who saved you."

Through the split incarnation of Kaibozu, Fusugi Bosui responded,

"Your strength and aptitude are not bad, but you are still a long way from the standard of a genius. If nothing else happens, you will be a role ninja for the rest of your life. You will either be the background board for other people's success or fame, or spend the rest of your life in obscurity."

"Then... what do I have that a big man like you values?"

"Ambition, unwillingness to be lonely and mediocre, and a strong desire to excel are what I appreciate the most..."

Gu Shan Bu Shui replied,

"Everyone has a dream, but there are very few people who are willing to work hard and practice regardless of everything, even if they betray their relatives and friends. Such people, even if it is an illusory glimmer of life If you are unwilling to give up, there is a cliff ahead, and you will jump over it without hesitation."

Such people are too obsessed, so they are easily fanned and used.

Konoha Village's so-called will of fire and the education of Konoha spirit are mostly successful. There are not many Konoha ninjas like Mizuki.

Therefore, the Mizuki sent to the door is one of the few chess pieces left.

"I'm not a good person, don't you worry, will I betray you in the future?"

Hearing this, Gu Shan Bu Shui chuckled:

"It's just a tool person. What's the difference between good and bad? It's just that the means of control are slightly different. Rather, I prefer to deal with people like you..."

"Then... please take care of me in the future, Master Bu Shui."
