[NARUTO] Night of the Full Moon

"But he actually found you before that and left a curse mark..." The leader's eyes were heavy, "It's impossible for us to defeat you like this."

As early as when Sasuke walked out of the cave, he could sense the fierce aura around Sasuke.At this moment, Sasuke was approaching, and the marks on the other person's neck confirmed his suspicion.

Sasuke was given a cursed seal by Orochimaru and had even successfully activated it.Even if these people didn't get in the way this time, they wouldn't be able to fulfill Orochimaru's instructions, and they might even... lose their lives.

If these companions had not resolved the depression when activating the curse seal, they would probably have been torn apart by this guy who had the same eyes as those monsters.

"What is the curse seal you are talking about?" Sasuke asked.

"It's the mark on your neck. Orochimaru will give curse marks to some talented subordinates. As long as they can resist the rejection reaction, they can increase their strength to a great extent."

The people around him all frowned when they heard this.

"Who is Orochimaru?" Neji couldn't help but ask.

Someone was specially sent to assassinate Sasuke, but he left a curse mark that could increase his power?What does he want to do?Are there any side effects of gaining such power?

"I can't tell clearly," the man said, "He came to our country alone and easily subdued the local ninjas, so everyone worked for him."

"Toss!" The sound ninja who was also tied up on the side shouted, as if he thought he said too much.

The man called Toss asked back: "Do you still want to leave alive? Just shut up if you want to."

This kind of probing method is really inefficient compared to Sharingan's genjutsu interrogation. However, Sasuke is not good at performing genjutsu. At this moment, the chakra is unstable and there is no way to do it.So, we can only continue to ask: "What is his purpose?"

"I don't know. We are just the lowest level people following orders. We are not even qualified to enter the base."

Neji shook his head at Sasuke, indicating that the other two were acting normally.

They really don't know anything more.

Come to think of it, how much can a genin of their level know about the secret decisions of high-level officials?

After asking a few more questions, Sasuke and the others stopped paying much attention to the three sound ninjas and left them here to fend for themselves.

Tenten woke Naruto up, but he slept well and didn't feel any discomfort after waking up.

Several people walked side by side. Ningci and the other three had already collected the scrolls and took the first step.Shikamaru and others also said goodbye and continued to look for new opponents.

Sasuke only waited until he was fully recovered in the relatively safe outer circle, and then went to the tower with Naruto and Sakura to snatch the Book of Earth that was still missing.

The strong enemies they encountered before made them misjudge the strength of other teams. The three of them cautiously entered the densely populated inner circle, but they obtained two scrolls without much effort.

The first time they won, they got the same Book of Heaven as them. Fortunately, they succeeded in getting the Book of Earth the second time.

The three of them entered the tower with the scrolls, opened the two volumes of heaven and earth according to the instructions, and summoned the guide - who happened to be Iruka.

Naruto was overjoyed at the moment. Being recognized by his close teacher as having passed the second exam made him jump up with excitement and rush towards Iruka.

Always so carefree.Sasuke sighed behind him, but such a lively Naruto finally made him let go of his previously depressed heart.

As Iruka led them to the meeting point, Sasuke dodged Naruto and Iruka and told them about their encounter with Orochimaru.Iruka's expression changed, obviously he had heard of Orochimaru's name.

"Who is he?" Sasuke asked.

"One of the legendary three ninjas, an S-class rebel ninja who defected a long time ago." Iruka told Sasuke without much hesitation. He glanced at Naruto who was walking in front excitedly, and then said, "If it's him If so, you'd better stop taking the exam now and check your physical condition first."

"We're all here. I can stay for a while longer. I know my body well."

Seeing Sasuke's firm attitude, Iruka didn't say much, but just told him not to show off.

However, the three people who thought they would be able to announce the results of the second test and disperse to rest after going in to gather, received the news of the extra rounds along with all the promoted players, and they started immediately.

Those who cannot continue the challenge due to previous consecutive battles can voluntarily abstain. Once they choose to participate in the preliminaries, they must still fight with their lives.

"Sasuke..." Sakura moved closer worriedly, "otherwise you should give up, your body..."

"I'm fine." Sasuke blocked Sakura's words.

He was not trying to be brave. After being scolded by Madara to accurately control his remaining strength, Sasuke became accustomed to looking at his physical condition and deliberately became familiar with the various manifestations of his physical strength.

He knew very well that this curse seal had a great influence on him, and one could easily be stimulated by it to stimulate his body's chakra without noticing.

Under normal circumstances, all ninjas can use is the chakra in their meridians, but ninjas who are accustomed to the existence of chakra actually contain a large amount of chakra in their flesh and blood.The chakra that has been stored in the body can be activated by the curse seal, and then released instantly to enhance the attack power.However, such an approach will greatly deplete one's own potential and cause irreversible damage to the body.

Therefore, the pain when activating the curse seal is a trivial matter. He cannot be so short-sighted and burn his potential in such unnecessary places.He won't use the curse seal.

Besides that, the remaining physical strength he had... was enough to deal with most of the players present.

"Huh--" Sasuke exhaled a breath, let you see, the ultimate sword skills of the Uchiha clan that dominated the Warring States Period.

Soon it was Sasuke's turn, and Naruto, who knew nothing, cheered Sasuke with trust.Even though he had encountered such a strong opponent before, he still didn't think Sasuke would be defeated in such a competition.

Sasuke also smiled at him pretending to be relaxed, but his face suddenly fell until the moment he actually stood on the stage.

Here is the battlefield.

Fortunately, as long as you deal with the last enemy on the opposite side, the area will be cleared, and you can lie on the ground with peace of mind and wait for support from your companions.You can use all your strength.

Sasuke put his hand on the knife and waited for the referee to count down before the fight started.

Enemies even appear right in front of you, allowing you to target their weak points before getting closer.

"one!"

As the referee's final words fell, Sasuke dodged and left the spot, testing the opponent's reaction speed.The enemy stretched his hands forward, as if preparing for close combat.He was clearly facing the long knife with bare hands, but he showed no timidity at all. There was definitely something weird about his hands.

But Sasuke has rich experience fighting against Neji, so it is not difficult to avoid such a fighting style that is good at boxing.

Side neck, lungs, leg arteries... Sasuke quickly searched for the most suitable attack point while walking around. The best attack position kept changing, but the long sword he had already mastered could always match his vision to swing the most appropriate trajectory. .

It's now!

Sasuke's blade, which he aimed directly at his throat, sliced ​​diagonally across his triceps as the enemy waved his hand to block, destroying the opponent's right hand.At that moment of brief contact, Sasuke understood the other party's ability: his hand could absorb both chakra and sexual energy.

Although the power that had just been extracted was very small, if you didn't check it for a moment, you might think that it was consumed by yourself during the action, but Sasuke had no doubt about this because of his absolute control over himself.

If he is really close to the opponent, he will be reduced to dead meat after unconsciously withdrawing all the power from his body, but now, he has no chance.

Sasuke was already extremely cautious, but now that he had found out the opponent's details and wasted one of his arms, the outcome was no longer in suspense.After several rounds of maneuvers, Sasuke completely removed the opponent's ability to resist, stood firmly on the spot, and the referee announced "Uchiha Sasuke wins."

"Awesome!" Naruto jumped up in the stands and waved vigorously to congratulate Sasuke, "I knew Sasuke was the best!"

For a time, Sasuke attracted more attention.

Sasuke was quite helpless, but he behaved like this, even if Naruto wasn't there, he would still have no less probing eyes, so he let him go.

When he returned to the stand, before Naruto could get over to him, Kakashi blocked his sight: "Your arms are shaking, and you still show off like you're at ease. Just follow me first." Go to the inner room and seal your curse seal."

Sasuke frowned: "Can't we wait until the qualifiers are over?"

"Do you want to wait until it gets out of control before dealing with it?"

Sasuke looked at Naruto who was looking behind Kakashi: "At least watch Naruto's round."

Sasuke, who had always been very independent, was so willful at this time, which gave Kakashi a headache.He looked at the big screen where the candidates for the game were randomly selected and explained: "Although this is random, you, who is on the same team, have just come on the field, and it won't be Naruto's turn soon. You might as well go to treatment with me first, and you'll be healed after it's over." I can catch up.”

Sasuke was about to say something else, but Kakashi added: "You don't want everyone to be distracted and worried about your injury during the battle."

Kakashi didn't lower his voice. Hearing this, Naruto immediately ran over, grabbed Sasuke's hand and asked, "Sasuke, are you injured? Is it because the previous injury hasn't healed yet? Then go get treatment quickly. You Now that I have successfully advanced, I don’t need to stay here.”

Sasuke looked at Naruto's concerned expression and said nothing more.If he had stayed any longer and allowed Kakashi to say a few more words, Naruto would have known about the curse seal.

"Let's go." Sasuke followed Kakashi obediently.

But after entering the inner room, Sasuke discovered that Kakashi's claim that he could go back to watch the second half of the competition after finishing the matter quickly was completely deceptive.Just drawing the complicated "evil-sealing seal" runes would probably take a lot of energy.

Damn it, it was all because this guy was wearing a mask and using a forehead protector to cover the remaining half of his face, so he could hardly see his emotional changes, so he deceived him.
