Chapter 85

He needed to weaken this power!

Just as the future Orochimaru, upon discovering the Curse Mark's erosion was too severe, developed the weakened Earth Curse Mark, turning the original into the Heaven Curse Mark.

"Strengthen the ability to bind and control, weaken the physical enhancement. In that case..."

Mei Terumi and Orochimaru, standing nearby, couldn't help but exchange a glance as they saw him close his eyes, both seeing helplessness and powerlessness in each other's eyes.

Mei Terumi couldn't help but murmur softly, "He can create any secret technique on the spot. The more I interact with him, the more I feel the chasm-like gap between him and us."

Orochimaru remained silent, his expression somewhat bitter.

Suigetsu, standing nearby, was already trembling with fear.

Creating any secret technique on the spot—damn, who would dare to oppose that?

【You have readjusted the standard of the Heavenly Demon Tattoo; you have created the secret technique: Heavenly Demon Curse Mark!】

【Heavenly Demon Curse Mark: A weakened Heavenly Demon Tattoo!】

Ishihara nodded in satisfaction, then implanted the Curse Mark into the three children while they were in a state of tension, and said calmly:

"As long as this Curse Mark exists, I can take your lives at any time, so you understand what you must do!"

The three quickly nodded.

Ishihara didn't care what they thought in their hearts; as long as the Heavenly Demon Curse Mark was within them, they absolutely could not resist him, unless one day their strength surpassed his.

Only then did he turn his gaze to the third child, his expression somewhat expectant.

He knew this child as well.

Seeing this, Mei Terumi hurriedly said:

"This is Kimimaro, a child of the Kaguya clan. Upon learning I needed a ninja with a Kekkei Genkai, they sent him over."

"I have already checked; this child's talent is excellent, but his personality has a flaw, so he was not accepted by the Kaguya clan. He is a very good face!"

Ishihara nodded in satisfaction.

He naturally knew Kimimaro's talent; he could be said to be the one with the lowest floor among the three, with a guaranteed level of Elite Jonin, or even a guaranteed Kage level.

"From now on, I will leave the daily training of these three children to you!"

Ishihara said to Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi nodded, her expression somewhat expectant.

She knew very well that once they learned Ishihara's secret techniques, anyone's future would become extremely worth anticipating.

Just then.

A guard from the base approached, speaking in a trembling voice:

"A child has come from outside, saying Lord Orochimaru sent him."

Hearing this, Orochimaru immediately smiled and looked at Ishihara, saying:

"It must be that child I mentioned to you earlier."

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

The guard soon returned, bringing in a teenage boy wearing glasses.

Ishihara couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

"Today is truly full of surprises after surprises."

Orochimaru introduced in a hoarse voice:

"This is Kabuto Yakushi, a former Leaf ninja who executed undercover missions multiple times; according to records in the Leaf, he is already dead!"

Indeed, the newcomer was Kabuto Yakushi!

Ishihara nodded. "Since this is someone the teacher has taken an interest in, then hand him over to Mei Terumi for training as well."

Orochimaru nodded without objecting.

Seeing this, Kabuto Yakushi hurriedly nodded and said somewhat stiffly, "Yes, Lord Ishihara, Lord Mei Terumi!"

Ever since witnessing Ishihara's monstrous abilities, he had lost interest in these ordinary geniuses.

Mei Terumi, looking at the four children opposite her, appeared very expectant and hurriedly said to Ishihara:

"I can train them, but you must give them secret techniques!"

"No problem!"

This was exactly what Ishihara had planned.

He was also eager to see what it would be like if the potential of these four were developed to the extreme.

"By the way, I will also leave Jugo to you in the future!"

He said as if suddenly remembering something.

"Good!"

Mei Terumi nodded excitedly.

She knew how terrifying Jugo's abilities were; he was absolutely a genius hard to come by!

She shouted excitedly:

"With this, I will have five usable people under my command. From today on, you are the Five Man Group!"

"Yes, Lord Mei Terumi!"

Watching the boisterous Mei Terumi, Ishihara helplessly shook his head.

Afterwards, he began to give each of them secret techniques separately.

First, everyone received the Body Tempering Art, which could help their bodies grow rapidly.

Additionally, he gave each of them secret techniques suitable for their respective abilities.

Kabuto Yakushi received the Life Chains, Suigetsu received the Water Transformation Secret Technique cultivation method, Haku received the Ice Release cultivation method, and Jugo already had his.

He looked at Kaguya Kimimaro and said:

"I need some time to study your secret technique."

Kimimaro respectfully replied, "Yes, Lord Ishihara!"

For Kimimaro, it was enough that someone needed him; as for everything else, he did not care.

Ishihara continued, "Once you have mastered your respective secret techniques, I will teach you new ones!"

After speaking, he looked at the five of them; to be honest, he had high expectations for them.

Then he led Mei Terumi into the secret chamber and handed her the Ice Release cultivation method!

"Thank you!"

Mei Terumi was somewhat excited.

Her Boil Release attack power was not strong enough, and to unleash the full power of her Boil Release, a sealed space was required.

Ice Release could greatly supplement her combat strength.

"From now on, I am yours!"

Mei Terumi looked at Ishihara and said solemnly.
