Chapter 954: Teaching at the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I

"Kitazawa-sensei gave it to him."

Ino Yamanaka took the opportunity to tell her about Kitazawa's glorious deeds.

"..."

Tayuya fell into silence.

Kitazawa could defeat Orochimaru, so his strength was within her expectations.

But Naruto Uzumaki's strength had once again made her feel shocked.

"What is that?"

Sasuke Uchiha suddenly asked in shock.

Tayuya looked subconsciously, only to see Kimimaro Kaguya's entire body covered in black curse marks.

She couldn't help but be surprised; had he been forced to this extent?

"This is the Earth Curse Seal."

Jugo explained simply, "A type of curse seal that can temporarily increase strength."

Sasuke Uchiha was tempted for a moment, but soon he shook his head.

First, it was too ugly.

Second, he didn't need it, or rather, ninjas of the Uchiha clan didn't need it.

In Kitazawa's words from his previous life, the Sharingan is already an invincible path, why borrow external objects?

In the original work, the reason Sasuke Uchiha accepted the Heaven Curse Seal was because he was blinded by revenge.

But now he was living very happily and didn't need to take crooked paths.

"This was created by Lord Orochimaru!"

Tayuya said very proudly immediately.

Everyone had naturally heard of Orochimaru's name, and they all showed surprised expressions.

"Then what is the price?"

Shikamaru Nara watched the battle on the field and asked.

Kimimaro Kaguya's strength, speed, and chakra all increased after opening the Earth Curse Seal: State One.

Before, he was at a disadvantage, but now he was about on par with Naruto Uzumaki, who was holding the Great Sword Samehada.

However, he still didn't dare let the Great Sword Samehada take a bite.

"If it lasts too long, it will go out of control, and Itachi might even lose yourself."

Jugo didn't hide it and said directly.

Sasuke Uchiha completely dismissed the idea upon hearing this.

This kind of Earth Curse Seal, it's better not to have it.

Others also had no thoughts after hearing this.

"It really does have the feel of Sage Mode."

Hiruzen Sarutobi observed for a moment and said.

"The Sage Mode of the three great summoning beast holy lands in legend?"

Kosuke Maruboshi couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "This is called the Earth Curse Seal, created by Orochimaru based on Sage Mode."

He had seen the specific information at Tsunade's place, so he knew it very well.

"As expected of your student."

Kosuke Maruboshi praised, "This Earth Curse Seal looks very effective."

"It's a huge burden on the body."

Kakashi Hatake revealed his Sharingan, watched for a while, and said.

"If the Earth Curse Seal had no price, the Hidden Sound Village would have already surpassed the Five Great Villages."

Kosuke Maruboshi didn't find it surprising.

"Orochimaru is already researching an optimized version of the Earth Curse Seal."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused and said, "If it can really succeed, it would be a good thing for the Hidden Leaf Village."

"Do Itachi think Naruto can win?"

Kosuke Maruboshi changed the subject and asked.

"Does this even need to be asked?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile, "Naruto hasn't used his full strength until now."

Kakashi Hatake's mouth twitched.

Naruto Uzumaki was influenced by Might Guy and liked to fight others with taijutsu.

Only when taijutsu couldn't win would he switch to long-range form and win with chakra.

Speaking of chakra, Kakashi Hatake was powerless to complain.

Seven-year-old Naruto Uzumaki had more chakra than him, which was very heaven-defying.

"What is Naruto doing? Is he going to give up close combat?"

Tayuya noticed Naruto Uzumaki suddenly pulling away from Kimimaro Kaguya.

"It's coming!"

Kiba Inuzuka immediately guessed what Naruto Uzumaki wanted to do.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Naruto Uzumaki threw away the Great Sword Samehada and immediately performed hand seals.

Bang bang bang!

Hundreds of shadow clones reappeared.

Kimimaro Kaguya looked at him panting.

The longer the Earth Curse Seal lasted, the greater the burden on his body.

Especially since he was in the middle of an intense battle himself.

Fortunately, it was only State One, and he could still persist.

But was this Naruto Uzumaki going to use shadow clones to fight a group battle again?

Kimimaro Kaguya felt relieved instead.

If he had to choose between Naruto Uzumaki holding the Great Sword Samehada and the dense shadow clones, he would choose the latter.

But... what was this doing?

Kimimaro Kaguya looked at Naruto Uzumaki's shadow clones dividing into two rows, feeling confused in his heart.

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

The shadow clones in the first row clapped their hands together.

Chakra rolled between their hands, turning into compressed wind.

A whistling sound rang out.

Countless winds surged out, turning into a storm that covered the sky and earth.

"Wind Release: Shuriken!"

The shadow clones in the second row threw shuriken one after another.

But these weren't ordinary shuriken, but shuriken covered in Wind Release chakra.

"???"

Kimimaro Kaguya was full of question marks.

Even with his personality, it was hard to hold back seeing this scene.

Kimimaro Kaguya opened the Earth Curse Seal: State Two without hesitation.

His skin turned black, and huge bones emerged from his back.

The storm arrived.

Kimimaro Kaguya immediately crossed his arms, and bones emerged one after another.

Terrible pressure hit his body.

Kimimaro Kaguya's hair and clothes all flew up.

He roared, actually relying on powerful strength to stand tall in the storm.

But just then, the dense Wind Release: Shuriken arrived.

Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Camellia!

Kimimaro Kaguya held a bone sword and immediately issued continuous slashes.

Clang clang clang sounds rang out.

Shuriken were constantly knocked away, but Kimimaro Kaguya's body couldn't help but retreat.

Because besides the shuriken, there was wind everywhere, and under the double force, it was hard for him to hold on.

Kimimaro Kaguya's eyes turned red, and the bone sword in his hand had become a blur of afterimages.

For Orochimaru, he absolutely couldn't fall here.

"Did I get hit by a genjutsu?"

Tayuya looked at Kimimaro Kaguya, thinking of the weeds in the storm, as if they would be blown away in the next second.

It was her first time seeing him so embarrassed under the Earth Curse Seal: State Two.

"So strong!"

Kiba Inuzuka said sincerely.

Of course, he was talking about Kimimaro Kaguya.

"Kimimaro's strength should be able to enter the top five in our Genius Class."

Shikamaru Nara evaluated.

Ino Yamanaka subconsciously glanced at Tayuya.

Because she remembered Tayuya had said before that she wanted to enter the top five of the practical exam.

"..."

Tayuya closed herself off upon hearing the words "top five."

No matter how arrogant she was, she didn't dare say she wanted to enter the top five anymore.

"Kimimaro has reached his limit; if he doesn't exit the Earth Curse Seal, there will be side effects."

Jugo said with a worried tone.

Just then, the Great Sword Samehada circled behind Kimimaro Kaguya.

It opened its mouth, took a bite, and began to frantically absorb chakra.

Kimimaro Kaguya lost a large amount of chakra and was immediately forced to dispel the Earth Curse Seal: State Two.

Kitazawa flashed forward.

He clapped his hands, and a mud wall rose in front of him, blocking the storm and shuriken.

Kitazawa turned to look at the Great Sword Samehada.

It hurriedly let go of its mouth.
