### Chapter 81: The Potential of the Curse Seal, I Have to Find a Way to Get Orochimaru to Work for Me
Senju Hashirama: "Why is that little girl from the Uzumaki family stepping on my head to practice climbing trees?"
Uchiha Madara: "What's wrong with Uchiha Sasuke? What are you doing on top of my statue?!"
Both had frustrated expressions.
It's normal to want to practice outside Konoha Village without alarming others. But with so many places outside Konoha Village, do you have to go to the Valley of the End to practice? And still practice on the statues of us?
Namikaze Minato: "Maybe it's to pay respect to the two of you?"
Uchiha Madara: "You call that homage?"
Senju Tobirama: "It's normal to practice sage arts in the Valley of the End, where the natural energy concentration is very high, and you should be very clear about this, Uchiha Madara."
Uchiha Madara: "Asshole!"
Back then, Hashirama, under the blessing of the rich natural energy of the Valley of the End, used a True Several Thousand Hands to shatter my Nine Tails. Senju Tobirama, this bastard, deliberately mentioned my dark history!
[Sasuke tries several times.]
[Sasuke is now gradually able to adapt to the spell seal state.]
["Hmm... This state is similar to sage art, which can greatly increase strength, but I feel there is a lot of room for improvement..."]
[Sasuke frowned in thought.]
The curse seal of Orochimaru absorbs natural energy in a specific way and then mobilizes it together with the Chakra of the cursed person.
On one hand, the cursed person absorbs natural energy completely through the curse seal. So, the efficiency of absorbing natural energy also depends on this curse seal.
On the other hand, after absorbing the natural energy, it is also through this curse seal to combine with one's own Chakra to increase strength. The effect of this increase also depends on the curse seal.
"This curse seal should be a differentiated version of immortal art developed by Orochimaru," Sasuke guessed.
The study of sage art should require high qualifications. It is said that the only ones who have mastered sage art are First Hokage Senju Hashirama and Toad Sage Jiraiya.
The curse seal studied by Orochimaru may not be as good as real sage art, but it should be more universal.
"Tsk... It's just that Orochimaru has added a backup of his own soul in the curse seal. If there was no such thing, this spell seal would be great, but it needs improvement."
Sasuke feels that this spell has great development potential. After removing Orochimaru's soul fragments, this curse seal is an excellent power-increasing tool.
Afterward, it can be improved further, either to increase its universality or to enhance strength more effectively. Sasuke thinks he might be able to plant a curse seal on Sakura and Hinata to enhance their strength.
"It should be possible to improve slowly, but it will take time," Sasuke thought.
Sasuke is very familiar with improving and developing ninjutsu. He learned Chidori from Mr. Kakashi and developed various forms of it. He also developed strange powers on his own.
These are all good experiences.
Based on Sasuke's theoretical knowledge level and his powerful and precise Chakra control ability, researching and improving this spell shouldn't be difficult.
Onoki: "He has already mastered the power of the curse seal, but he still wants to continue to improve it?!"
Terumi Mei: "It seems he intends to use it to help his girlfriends improve their strength..."
She felt envious. It would be great to have such a handsome and powerful boyfriend who also helps you improve your strength.
Jiraiya: "With Sasuke's talent, if he spends time on it, he should be able to successfully improve that spell."
Tsunade: "I think so too."
They no longer dared to question Sasuke's talent. They thought Sasuke couldn't do it several times before, but they were proven wrong each time. Their faces were almost swollen from the embarrassment.
Even though this curse seal is related to celestial arts, and Sasuke has never been exposed to celestial arts, they somehow believe that Sasuke will successfully improve the curse seal.
Fourth Raikage: "By the way, didn't Konoha Sannin sign a contract with the three holy places in the ninja world? Orochimaru should have signed a contract with Ryūchi Cave. Why didn't he learn the magic of Ryūchi Cave, but came up with this curse seal?"
Orochimaru: Damn, I wish you'd talk less!
Jiraiya: "Hahaha, of course, it's because Orochimaru has no aptitude for celestial arts! Even among Sannin, I'm the only one who has mastered celestial arts!"
For Jiraiya, this was something to be extremely proud of. Orochimaru was far more talented than him since childhood. After he learned Mount Myōboku senjutsu, Orochimaru tried to learn it too but failed. It's rare for Jiraiya to overpower Orochimaru in this aspect.
Tsunade: "I don't understand, Jiraiya. Why are you proud? Your Sage Mode is ugly; don't you know that yourself?"
Jiraiya: "I'm heartbroken, Tsunade!"
Orochimaru: "Heh! Although I don't have the aptitude for sage arts, I can master the power of sage arts through the spell seal."
Even if his innate physique limits him, he can solve the problem of talent through research. This is what Orochimaru is most proud of.
The screen continued playing.
"Susanoo!"
Sasuke's eyes opened to the mangekyō form of the hexagram! With the bloom of pupil power, circles of purple rib-shaped Chakra armor emerged around Sasuke's body.
The third power of the mangekyō Sharingan!
Sasuke thought about it and created a Shadow Clone. He planned to use the Shadow Clone to test the strength of Susanoo!
Boom! Crack!
The Shadow Clone fully mobilized Chakra, punched the rib-shaped Chakra armor, and a crack appeared! However, the purple Chakra armor still maintained its form and was not penetrated.
"Can it defend against a blow from a strange force?"
Sasuke was surprised. This defense strength is already very high! Even a strong punch from the Shadow Clone can crush most defensive ninjutsu. However, such a terrifying punch cannot completely break through Susanoo's defense!
"I should... be able to open it to a higher form."
Sasuke tried to continue channeling more of his pupil power and mobilizing a large amount of Chakra in his whole body.
[Boom!]
[The purple Chakra rises like a flame and turns into a skeleton giant!]
[Behind, the raised hair on the head of the statue of Uchiha Madara is blown away!]
[Buzz!]
[In the eye sockets of the giant skeleton, the golden eyes suddenly light up!]
[Susanoo in the first form!]
[The power of God, the symbol of destruction!]
Onoki: "Susanoo... It's been a long time..."
At the beginning, he and the Second Tsuchikage went to Konoha to discuss an alliance but were humiliated by Madara using Susanoo! Now, he saw Susanoo's power again in a descendant of the Uchiha clan!
Orochimaru: "Is this the legendary Susanoo? It's really powerful. I can feel its force through the screen!"
Uchiha Madara: "It's just the first form... Can that brat Uchiha Sasuke get off my statue?"
He suspects that Sasuke is trying to tear down his statue!
Senju Tobirama: "He's just awakened the Mangekyō and is already squandering his pupil power to open Susanoo. Without Karin, he'd probably go blind soon!"
Even the Yang Release Chakra that Karin provides might not sustain such consumption. Susanoo's drain on Mangekyō pupil power is terrifying!
Gold frame on screen:
[Sasuke briefly tested Susanoo's power.]
[After turning into this skeleton giant, Susanoo's defense is further improved, and its destructive power is terrifying!]
[It is a combat weapon that integrates offense and defense!]
["But... it consumes a lot of pupil power and Chakra..."]
[Sasuke carefully understood the state of his body.]
[His pupil power was draining, and his Chakra was also exhausted.]
[Sasuke feels he should be able to open a higher form... but the consumption would be even greater!]
["Mangekyō's pupil power recovery is indeed a problem..."]
[Sasuke considered turning off Susanoo but suddenly got an idea: what if he added the spell-seal state?]
[Try it now!]
[The spell seal state is activated, and natural energy pours violently into Sasuke's body...]
[On the surface of the giant purple skeleton, dense black patterns appear!]
[The power of the spell seal is blessed on Susanoo!]
[After entering the spell seal state, Sasuke can feel that Susanoo is stronger!]
[And...]
["The consumption of pupil power has reduced?!"]
[Sasuke covered his eyes and could clearly feel the slowed-down drain of pupil power!]
[Why is this happening?]
[Is this the effect of sage arts?]
Senju Tobirama: "Can sage arts reduce Susanoo's pupil power consumption? Brother, you should know more about this."
Senju Hashirama: "I don't have the Mangekyō Sharingan and Susanoo, how would I know..."
Uchiha Madara: "Susanoo essentially uses Mangekyō Sharingan's Yin Release to condense a huge amount of Chakra into substantial Chakra armor, achieving powerful offensive and defensive abilities. Can sage arts provide any help?"
Jiraiya: "In terms of Yin Release... sage arts should be at a higher level than Yin and Yang Release. Maybe it has something to do with that?"
Senju Hashirama: "That might be true. In the state of sage arts, my Yang Release becomes stronger. Maybe sage arts also enhance Yin Release."
Orochimaru: "From my research on natural energy and sage arts, natural energy seems to be a more fundamental force with various effects, which are normal."
Uchiha Madara: "Is there such a thing?!"
He felt like he was going to lose his temper! If sage arts are helpful to Mangekyō Sharingan and Susanoo, he would have to find a way to learn sage arts! If he learned it, he might have won in the Valley of the End!
[Sasuke focused deeply.]
[Mangekyō pupil power loss has indeed decreased!]
[Then he tried to lift the curse seal sage state and found that the consumption of Mangekyō's pupil power returned to the usual rate.]
["Is it really because of the sage arts..."]
[Sasuke felt intrigued by sage arts!]
[This might be a power worth exploring!]
[However, he lacked the means to learn sage arts...]
[If he relied on improving the curse seal slowly through Orochimaru, the speed would be too slow!]
["The curse seal left on Mitarashi Anko by Orochimaru before his defection should have been there for ten years..."]
[Sasuke recalled the deal Orochimaru proposed.]
[He guessed that the curse seal is a degraded version of Immortal Art developed by Orochimaru.]
[What he's using now is the version Orochimaru left on Mitarashi Anko ten years ago.]
[As for Orochimaru himself, he has likely been advancing the research and development of this curse seal over the years!]
[Perhaps... the deal Orochimaru proposed is worth considering.]
[That way, he can get the latest version of the curse seal directly from Orochimaru.]
[With Mangekyō's power, he should be able to clear the soul fragments left by Orochimaru in the curse seal...]
[In other words, the deal with Orochimaru won't harm him!]
[And he can also get the latest version of the curse seal!]
[For further improvements, he can build on Orochimaru's latest version more efficiently.]
["If only Orochimaru would stop thinking about my body... won't you develop your curse seal?"]
[Sasuke couldn't help shaking his head.]
[Is there any way to make Orochimaru concentrate on continuing the research and development of the curse seal... Orochimaru is indeed a genius, it would be great to have him on his side.]
[However, Sasuke had no clue about this.]
[Although his current strength is enough for Orochimaru, making him work for him might be too much...]
[Forget it, let's proceed with Orochimaru's deal.]
["Karin, let's stop today's practice and go home."]
[Sasuke called to Karin at the First Hokage statue on the other side.]
[After returning, he would ask Karin to find Yakushi Kabuto with her Kagura's mind and then inform Orochimaru to trade the curse seal.]
