Chapter 8

"Itachi actually solved the problem on Jugo?!"

Orochimaru was somewhat out of composure.

After all, this was something he wanted to do but hadn't done.

But he watched helplessly as Shi Yuan did it just by studying Jugo’s body for a while!

This...

Even though he had had a similar experience once before.

At this moment, Orochimaru still felt some frustration in his heart.

"Is the gap between me and Shi Yuan really that big?"

Orochimaru was somewhat dazed.

"I’m better?!"

Jugo looked at Shi Yuan in astonishment and hurriedly asked: "What did Itachi do to me?"

Shi Yuan pointed to the Cursed Seal on his neck and explained:

"This is the Reverse Cursed Seal; it will prevent natural energy from entering your body!"

"Natural energy is the real reason for your berserk state!"

Jugo looked at Shi Yuan in disbelief and said tremblingly:

"Does that mean I don't need to worry about going berserk in the future?!"

"That’s right!"

Shi Yuan nodded and continued:

"The Reverse Cursed Seal only has one form; after activation, Itachi will return to your previous state and can go berserk at any time!"

"Which means Itachi can now control your berserk state!"

Jugo froze in place.

He could really get rid of his past life and live like a normal person in the future!

This was simply like a dream.

Seeing that the two were still dazed, Shi Yuan turned and left.

The research on Jugo just now gave him a lot of inspiration, and he needed to go back and write it down as soon as possible.

Just two steps away, he stopped again, turned his head to look at Jugo, who was following him, and frowned.

"Why are Itachi following me?"

Jugo said earnestly: "Itachi helped me solve the problem of going berserk, I will follow Itachi from now on!"

Shi Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Although he needed to study Jugo, he really didn't like being followed.

And at this time, Orochimaru also woke up and looked at Shi Yuan with a complex expression.

"Let him follow Itachi from now on!"

Unknowingly, his attitude had also changed; he had already regarded Shi Yuan as an equal to communicate with.

"Okay!"

Shi Yuan hesitated for a moment, but thinking of Jugo’s importance in his plan, he finally nodded.

Jugo scratched his head happily and then followed Shi Yuan to the archives.

He didn't have permission to enter, so he stood at the door and guarded it.

For the next few days.

The entire base entered a busy state.

One person after another was brought into the depths of the base like prisoners.

"Orochimaru, Itachi will die a horrible death!"

"Bastard, I’m going to kill Itachi!"

"Orochimaru, don't forget what Itachi promised me!"

Some of these people were forcibly captured, and some came voluntarily, with different expressions.

But the arrival of these people undoubtedly made the entire base lively.

Shi Yuan could hear roars and screams coming from the depths of the base every day.

Orochimaru suddenly became busy, and he hadn't seen his figure for nearly a month.

And during this period, Shi Yuan also became busy.

Busy studying Jugo!

"Now enter the berserk state!"

"Okay, Itachi can stop!"

Shi Yuan found a room and watched quietly as Jugo entered the berserk state and returned to his original state.

A pile of experimental equipment was placed in front of him.

At this moment, Shi Yuan was using a microscope to look at the skin taken from Jugo in the berserk state.

At the same time, he activated Genjutsu Space and carefully sensed the chakra on the skin with his own perception ability.

"The skin has turned into a stratum corneum, and it was formed by drastic changes in a short period of time!"

"The hardness of the stratum corneum has undergone a fundamental change, and it even contains chakra meridians!"

"But even though the cells have undergone division far beyond the normal level, Jugo’s lifespan has not decreased!"

"No, the chakra has also changed..."

Shi Yuan looked at the data while observing Jugo’s cells.

Whenever the natural energy in it dissipated, he would let Jugo enter the berserk state again to re-extract cell tissue.

In his forgetful research, time passed quickly.

Until this day.

[Itachi have carefully studied Jugo’s body, realized the principle of the Cursed Seal state, Itachi have created the Senjutsu: Petrification Technique!]

[Senjutsu Petrification Technique: The skin divides rapidly, forming a stratum corneum on the surface that is extremely hard and surpasses iron and stone, greatly improving defense!]

[Itachi have studied Jugo’s Cursed Seal state, realized the flow of chakra, Itachi have created the Burst Secret Technique!]

[Burst Secret Technique: After use, it can forcibly open the restrictions of the chakra meridians, greatly improving chakra output capability!]

[Itachi have carefully studied the flow of natural energy in Jugo’s body, realized how natural energy fuses with cells, Itachi have created the Immortal Method Guidance Technique]

[Immortal Method Guidance Technique: Can absorb natural energy and combine it with body cells, greatly improving physical fitness; side effect: emotions will become violent and bloodthirsty; not recommended for use!]

Phew...

The successive prompts made Shi Yuan let out a long breath, stop his research, and check his harvest.

"Three secret techniques, all of them are defective products, not suitable for me to use at all."

"But they can be used to answer to Orochimaru."

Shi Yuan shook his head, having no intention of using these three secret techniques.

He looked up at Jugo, who was standing honestly at the door, and beckoned.

Jugo hurriedly ran over and looked at him earnestly.

"How is the Body-Forging Art I gave Itachi before coming along?" Shi Yuan asked while taking out a blank scroll to write.

Jugo said somewhat excitedly:

"I’ve learned it; I can eat ten buckets of rice and dozens of pounds of meat every day now!"

"My height has increased by several centimeters in these few days!"

Shi Yuan looked at Jugo, whose size had increased significantly, nodded, and handed the finished scroll to him.

"Learn these secret techniques in the next few days!"

These defective products are more suitable for those who use the Cursed Seal.

"Yes!"

Jugo didn't refute at all and solemnly took these secret techniques.

Since his berserk problem was solved by Shi Yuan, he was almost in a state of obeying Shi Yuan’s every word.

As long as it was something Shi Yuan asked him to do, he wouldn't have any hesitation.

At the same time, deep in the base, Orochimaru’s Cursed Seal experiment also began.
