I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"Tsunade, how could you make such a ridiculous decision?" Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En had already learned that Ye Lan would be in charge of repairing Konoha's barrier, so they went straight to Tsunade to question her.

"Ridiculous? How come I didn't see that?" Tsunade was mentally prepared. As long as she stood firm, these two advisors would not be able to do anything to her.

"We must remain highly vigilant against the Uchiha clan. During the Nine-Tails Rebellion twelve years ago, many people saw the Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes." Mizumon Yan reminded.

Tsunade was not in the village at that time. The Nine-Tails caused too much damage, which also made the Konoha high-level officials who had always been wary of the Uchiha clan suspicious.

"You also know that it was twelve years ago. How old was Ye Lan at that time? How could he have the ability to control the Nine-Tails?" Tsunade didn't think about those old things. These things couldn't possibly be related to Ye Lan.

"That's hard to say. Even if he is not the Uchiha who controls the Nine-Tails, he may be connected to him. You have to know that Ye Lan has the same eyes as Uchiha Madara. We all saw it a while ago!" Utatane Koharu's eyes, which had been squinting, widened a lot. The appearance of Susanoo could not be hidden from the top leaders of Konoha. She felt fear for this power.

Tsunade, who had only heard of it, didn't take it too seriously. She looked at the advisors who had always been prejudiced against the Uchiha clan and couldn't help but sigh and said, "My grandfather and Uchiha Madara founded Konoha in the beginning. Now I am the only one left in the Senju clan, and there are only two little brats left in the Uchiha clan.

Even if the Uchiha clan made any mistakes before, it has nothing to do with them. Don't you have the slightest tolerance after living so long?"

The two advisors who were lectured by Tsunade blushed and didn't know how to answer Tsunade. They couldn't tell her that they had instigated Itachi to massacre the Uchiha clan, as this would expose their past.

"Okay, this matter has been decided. Next it depends on Ye Lan's talent in sealing techniques." Tsunade took the opportunity to implement this matter directly and would not make any changes.

"Hmph, you're the only one who would have the idea of ​​letting the Uchiha clan learn sealing techniques." Utane Koharu was still stubborn even until the end.

"It doesn't matter whether he is Uchiha or not, he is Ye Lan." Tsunade is very confident about Ye Lan.

What is our Ye Lan doing? Turning his gaze over here, he is shopping. It's not that he is lazy, but if he keeps working behind closed doors, he might not be able to accomplish anything. He needs to relax now.

"Ye Lan!" I met an acquaintance on the street. It was Ye Lan's captain in the Chunin Exam, Mitarashi Anko. At the moment, she was eating a bunch of sweet meatballs with relish, with a lot of food crumbs left at the corners of her mouth.

"You should also eat less sweets, otherwise you will become a 200-pound fat man in the future." Ye Lan said as he looked at Hongdou's unrestrained eating habits.

"No problem, I never gain weight!" Hongdou patted her chest with a smile.

Ye Lan had no way to deal with Hongdou's personality. She was also an acquaintance of his in Konoha. He asked casually, "I haven't seen you recently. Did you go on a mission somewhere?"

"Before, Hokage asked me to investigate the truth behind the murder of a noble. We couldn't find the murderer at that time, and it took me a long time to find a clue. It seemed that it was a famous bounty hunter in the underground bounty hunting industry. What was his name? Kakuzu! I heard that guy even fought with the first Hokage! What a joke, the first Hokage has been dead for many years!" Hongdou looked up and thought for a while before saying.

"You're not going to investigate the truth behind the murder of the Kanagawa family, are you?" Ye Lan interrupted, feeling somewhat familiar with Hongdou's description.

"Yes! How did you know?"

"My previous mission was to protect the safety of Kanagawa's eldest daughter, but I didn't expect that the other party would take action as soon as I left." Ye Lan spread his hands. He didn't expect the other party to do this.

"It seems that having a great reputation has this advantage. The other party doesn't dare to take action when you are around." Hongdou teased.

"It's not that exaggerated. I have fought with them before. They are very strong. If you meet them, run away immediately." Ye Lan didn't know whether Kakuzu had fought with the first Hokage, but he knew from a slight contact that he was not a simple character.

Seeing that Hongdou didn't care, Ye Lan said in a warning tone: "That guy is as dangerous as Orochimaru."

Hearing Orochimaru's name, Red Bean stopped laughing and said in disbelief: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

"No, I have fought with them all and have my own judgment." Ye Lan said this and Hongdou nodded in recognition.

"Will the curse on your body still affect you?" After Ye Lan finished talking about the mission, he asked about Hongdou's condition. He was by Hongdou's side when the curse took effect, and he knew that this thing was a side effect for Hongdou.

"Fortunately, as long as it doesn't consume too much chakra, this thing actually has no effect on me."

"How about... I use the Sealing Technique to reinforce you. It will also affect you if you cannot perform the mission with your full strength." Ye Lan did not act on a spur of the moment idea. He also wanted to know what level he had reached in the Sealing Technique that he had studied for some time.

"You also know sealing techniques?" Hongdou really couldn't imagine that Ye Lan, a ninja who had made outstanding achievements in both ninjutsu and swordsmanship, would also learn sealing techniques.

“It’s just that I’ve had some feelings recently. Dealing with things like curses shouldn’t be a problem.” Ye Lan didn’t want to say that he had just learned it not long ago and just wanted to find someone to practice with.

"Okay, shall we go to the practice field?" Hongdou knew that many sealing techniques required complicated arrangements, so she took the initiative to bring it up.

"Yeah." After the two arrived at the training ground, Ye Lan first drew a magic circle to perform the sealing technique on an open space. Seeing Ye Lan's professional performance, Hongdou couldn't help but feel relieved.

"You sit in the formation and reveal your curse." Ye Lan said after drawing the formation.

Hongdou didn't care at all. She took off the coat she had been wearing, leaving only a tight fishnet top, and sat directly in the magic circle.

Ye Lan stood behind Hong Dou without looking away, looking at the curse mark that had already appeared on the back of Hong Dou's neck and said, "It might be a little painful."

“Eh?” Hongdou wanted to turn around and ask Ye Lan how much it hurt, but Ye Lan formed a seal with his fingers in one second: Yin-Mao-Si-Wu-Wei...the seal to seal evil.

Chakra was concentrated in his right hand, which was pressed on the curse seal. The special symbols drawn around the magic circle all flowed to the curse seal on Hongdou's neck, gradually forming a seal.

"Ah!" Hongdou couldn't help but scream out in the end. This was a kind of nerve pain that most people couldn't endure.

It didn't take long before both Ye Lan and Hong Dou were sweating profusely. It was Ye Lan's first time and he was a little unfamiliar with it so he consumed a lot of energy, while Hong Dou was simply in pain. Finally, the seal was finally completed. A circle of magic appeared around the curse on Hong Dou's neck, indicating success.

"Huh..." Anko gasped, "Is it over?"

"Hmm." Ye Lan pondered for a while and said, "But in my opinion, the curse seal is not all bad. You can study how to use the curse seal in the future. At present, the curse seal has been completely suppressed by my sealing technique. You can try to add some power of the curse seal to your ninjutsu, which may bring some unexpected benefits."

Just now, when Ye Lan used the Evil Sealing Seal, he clearly felt the power of the curse. That energy was very similar to the natural energy he had practiced. Orochimaru simply added his own mark on it, and the way he used it was extremely rough. Long-term use would greatly damage the body's functions.

Realizing the principle of the curse, Ye Lan changed the performance of the Evil Sealing Seal. He added some of his own natural energy into it for balance, greatly reducing the side effects of the curse. Although its power was not as strong as before, there was almost no risk in using it.

Hongdou touched the curse seal on her neck and found that it no longer felt as strange as before. It felt like it had become a part of her body.
