Narration system starting from Konoha

Neji seemed to defy fate, quickly closing in and delivering a Gentle Fist to Kimimaro's arm, from which hard, sharp bones instantly emerged.

Sora pulled Neji back and said, "Kimimaro's bones can grow at will now, so there's no way we can get close to him."

Neji and Choji exchanged a glance and said, "Be careful, these are the smoke bombs we divided up earlier, we can use them to buy time."

You previously mentioned he had a serious bloodline disease; perhaps we should slowly deplete his life force.

Sora smiled as Neji and Choji disappeared.

Kimimaro stared directly at Uchiha Sora and said, "You're deliberately sending them away. It seems you're quite confident in fighting me."

Sora: "The cursed seal is not unique to Orochimaru. I have had a cursed seal on me since birth."

This is a good opportunity to see whether my innate curse seal is more powerful, or your acquired one.

As he spoke, he raised his arm, revealing an equilateral triangle in the center of his forearm, though its color was somewhat dull.

Kimimaro was genuinely astonished. A natural cursed mark—could it be similar to Jugo's?

Uchiha Sora is talking nonsense. This is a mutated cursed seal with no aftereffects that Uchiha Sora extracted from the Sound Four.

Kimimaro was even more incredulous. The cursed seal was something Lord Orochimaru had painstakingly researched and implanted into his soul; the fact that it could be extracted by someone else was even more unbelievable than something innate.

"Haha, the narrator's attempt to sabotage you has finally failed. Kimimaro, I'm starting to admire you. Once the curse seal is removed..."

The triangle emitted a faint red light, and then countless spells began to spread across the arm until they covered the entire arm and part of the body before stopping.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

A massive, scorching fireball erupted from its mouth, charring the grass and leaves along its path and turning them to ashes.

Kimimaro performed a series of backflips to dodge the fireballs. The biggest weakness of the Shikotsumyaku is its lack of ranged attack methods.

"Ten fingers piercing through the bullet."

The ten finger bones, like bullets, disappeared into thin air the moment they left the fingers, instantly piercing through the fireball and heading straight for Uchiha Sora.

Uchiha Ku lightly stepped forward, shifting several body lengths out of thin air, easily dodging the opponent's attack.

P.S.: I'm updating a bit late today, so I can only post one chapter. I'll try to make up for the second chapter tomorrow during the day. Please forgive me, fellow readers.

Chapter 121 Cursed Seal Three

"The Phoenix Fire Technique".

Sparks rained down like a meteor shower as Uchiha Sora leaped into the air, twirling a shuriken in his hand before throwing it.

Chakra erupted in full force, and his body followed closely behind the Phoenix Flower.

"It seems you've been hiding your strength all along. To be able to kill a powerful figure like you before I die, thus removing an obstacle for Lord Orochimaru, I have no regrets in dying."

Kimimaro spoke calmly, as if death were as simple as eating and drinking.

If there were a hierarchy of faiths in this world, Kimimaro would undoubtedly belong to the Holy Spirit, and everything he did was for Orochimaru.

Kong calmly said, "My magnanimity is above yours. This cruel world has no need for straightforward people like you."

End the suffering, and peacefully slumber in the Pure Land. The second mantra seal is activated.

Uchiha Sora is showing off again. Actually, Uchiha Sora isn't a serious person, but he always likes to act pretentious to appear profound and mysterious.

Jun Lü shook his head. He didn't know if Uchiha Sora was upright or not, but at the age of twelve, being able to extract cursed seals from the Sound Four and transplant them onto himself was undeniably impressive.

"Kimimaro, I, Uchiha Sora, would call you the second most insightful person in the ninja world. You saw through the narrator's insidious scheme at a glance."

In return, I will unleash my full power to kill you and send you away from this hellish world.

Uchiha Sora's shameless face is finally starting to show. The classic "playing the prostitute while pretending to be virtuous" trope is back. Killing you isn't just for your own good, but also to make you grateful.

Kimimaro felt that encountering a formidable enemy like Uchiha Sora at the end of his life, even if he died in battle, would have made his life worthwhile, far better than dying a pathetic death in a sickbed.

Uchiha Sora felt confident again, having already won two battles against the narrator.

The narrator, though omniscient, doesn't understand human nature. Human nature is a complex web of contradictions, and the narrator is merely a program with some intelligence; how could he possibly be a match for such a highly intelligent individual?

Uchiha Sora once again felt the loneliness as cold as snow, the chill of being at the top.

The narrator used to think that people still had some sense of shame, but now realizes that's only half true. It should be said that, aside from Uchiha Sora, most people still have some sense of shame.

"The narrator got angry and embarrassed, and has now resorted to personal attacks."

Narrator: .......

His calm demeanor suddenly erupted, Uchiha Sora's speed increased dramatically, and black patterns spread across his body.

With a "whoosh," his body vanished from its original spot in an instant. He aimed at the gap between Kimimaro's bones and kicked him away.

Kimimaro suddenly straightened up and stood still.

The body lines that had just begun to spread gradually covered the entire body, even the face was covered with horizontal and vertical ripples like pipes.

This is Kimimaro's first cursed seal form, which is somewhat similar to Uchiha Sora's. Some people would believe they belong to the same organization.

With his strong body covered in bone spurs, Kimimaro leaped into the air, his body spinning rapidly, countless sharp blades swirling in the air as he stabbed towards Uchiha Sora.

The two kunai parried in quick succession, their hard bones causing sparks to fly from them.

"Clang."

The kunai snapped in two, leaving a huge gash across Kong's chest before he could dodge.

The other kunai was also full of cracks. He casually threw it on the ground and frowned. After this matter was over, it was urgent to forge a suitable weapon.

Standard kunai prioritize quantity over quality.

Kimimaro is indeed a tough opponent. Ku is not Gaara. His Fire Release ninjutsu can only be used for attack and has almost no defense. Moreover, his attack methods are too limited.

Wiping his wounds and feeling the piercing pain, Uchiha Sora laughed loudly: "So this is what piercing pain feels like? In the past twelve years, I have never felt such pain."

However, having witnessed the ugliness of the world and seen hell, I know that pain is merely a natural bodily response, nothing more.

Uchiha Sora is putting on an act again. He starts acting after only a couple of sentences. Can't he have a proper conversation with Kimimaro?

“Let’s talk properly when we get to the Pure Land. I will hold a memorial service for Kimimaro every year, then we can have a peaceful conversation,” Sora said.

The narrator suddenly had nothing to say.

Uchiha Ku exerted force with both legs simultaneously, instantly reaching his maximum speed.

"Shh."

A strong arm with sharp bones slashed across, gleaming coldly as if to pierce Uchiha Sora.

"Snap." Sora grabbed the swinging bone with one hand, and suddenly reached out with the other hand to grab Kimimaro's ribs.

The two exerted their strength simultaneously, their feet grinding together at high speed, and waves of chakra erupted.

"Kimimaro, my will is above yours."

With a sudden burst of strength, he twisted his body and arms, throwing Kimimaro away.

With his hands forming a hand seal, a massive fireball engulfed Kimimaro.

The intense heat of the flames scorched the earth, crackling and popping, leaving a trail of charred remains in their wake.

When the flames subsided, Kimimaro's body, covered in patterns, was revealed, with some parts of his once clean body now charred black.

His clothes were tattered, but his expression remained calm, as if he couldn't feel the pain in his body.

Kimimaro moved forward steadily, step by step, but his pace quickened until it became a sprint.

Sharp bone spurs pierced from all directions as the body spun forward, every part of it a weapon.

The whistling wind and the sharp, piercing sound of air intertwined in Kong's ears.

Uchiha Sora felt incredibly pretentious. He could have easily worn Kimimaro down with smoke bombs, but instead, he insisted on proving his strength through a head-on confrontation.

Perhaps unknowingly, Uchiha had developed a slight awareness of being a strongman; he needed a battle of equal strength to find true confidence in himself.

This kind of confidence also has a simple and easy-to-understand name: the heart of a strong person.

Uchiha Sora thought the narrator was talking nonsense, but he felt that his actions were still a form of redemption—redeeming a lost soul so that he could leave this world without regrets.

When a person tells the same lie for a lifetime, it becomes the truth.

The Sharingan activated instantly, the one-tomoe spinning rapidly, and the already powerful dynamic strength rose to another level.

He twisted his waist to dodge the slashing bone spikes, and a sharp kunai reappeared in his hand. He aimed at the gap between the bone spikes and thrust it out suddenly.

"Clang." The kunai only pierced the outermost layer of skin before being blocked by the internal bones. Through the wound, it could be seen that the entire body was completely covered by a thick layer of bone beneath the skin.

It's like wearing a heavy suit of armor.

Kimimaro suddenly spun around, and bone spikes shot out like sharp swords.

A foot suddenly appeared, landing squarely on the curved side of the bone, using the momentum to propel it backward.

"The Phoenix Fire Technique".

The high-speed Mars was easily blocked by the white bone shield extending from the arm.

The continuous explosions echoed, but Kimimaro's feet seemed rooted to the ground, refusing to retreat an inch.

The power of C-rank ninjutsu is ultimately too low. It seems that I should study and practice B-rank ninjutsu when I get back.

At the very least, learn a few fire-style techniques with a wide range, so that even if you block the front, you can still attack from the side.

The two figures had barely separated when they clashed again, flames flashing alongside the cold glint of their bones in the battle.

Uchiha Sora's body was covered in wounds, and Kimimaro was also in a sorry state, with cuts from kunai and burn marks from fire jutsu.

"puff."

A mouthful of blood spurted from Kimimaro's mouth.

"It seems your body is nearing its limit. My curse seal has three levels, and I haven't used the third level until now, just waiting for this moment."

The patterns on his body glowed red again and slowly spread, and two horns of different lengths emerged from his forehead.

The interwoven patterns form a diamond shape on the chest.

"This is the third form of the Cursed Seal that I deduced. It amplifies chakra into Sage Chakra through a technique, resulting in a tenfold amplification for both taijutsu and ninjutsu."

Kimimaro's markings also glowed red, his entire body was a deep red, and a huge tail extended from behind him.
