Chapter 259 Earth Curse Seal 2, Coercion and Enticement
"Impossible! I would never betray Lord Orochimaru and hand over his things to you. Konoha Jonin, Mitarashi Ishikawa."
Without hesitation, Kimimaro's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he resolutely refused.
Lord Orochimaru is someone he'd be willing to give his life for; how could he possibly betray Lord Orochimaru?
On the contrary, he also had to help Lord Orochimaru get rid of this troublesome enemy before he died.
To be able to bypass the layers of defenses of the Sound Village and invade his body, the opponent is definitely not a simple character!
"I knew you wouldn't agree so easily." Ishikawa smiled calmly, not surprised at all. It would have been surprising if Kimimaro had agreed immediately.
After all, Kimimaro's admiration for Orochimaru is well-known; he's a super pure, die-hard fan!
"However, you don't seem to have the strength to say no to me right now."
With a confident gaze, Ishikawa immediately unleashed his Spirit Transformation Technique, beginning to control Kimimaro's body and destroy his soul.
As long as he eliminates or suppresses the opponent, he can still obtain what he wants by reading their memories.
"What?! What is this?!" Kimimaro's expression changed drastically as he felt the attack on his soul, his eyes widening in fury.
Death is not scary; what he fears is that even after death, his memories will be read and used to obtain information that could be detrimental to Lord Orochimaru!
But this is a soul attack that transcends physical attacks, and his prized Corpse Bone Vein technique is completely useless here.
So……
'Earth Seal - Open...'
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly precarious, Kimimaro's eyes flashed with determination as he immediately unleashed his curse seal without regard for the consequences.
In an instant, the black curse on Kimimaro's chest spread rapidly like flames throughout his entire body...
In the blink of an eye, the natural energy of heaven and earth seemed to be drawn into Kimimaro's body, causing his terminally ill body to regain its vitality as if it had taken a powerful tonic.
This change and the dissipating aura of the cursed seal instantly caused Ishikawa and the four Sound Ninja who also possessed cursed seals to change color.
"He actually relied on the power of the cursed seal to stabilize his soul and strengthen his resistance to my soul attack. Is this the full-state amplification of natural energy?" Ishikawa murmured in astonishment, frowning slightly as he looked at Kimimaro's consciousness, which had also entered the cursed seal state.
Although he relied on external force, his soul attack was indeed blocked by the opponent!
After all, Kimimaro was indeed physically weak and sickly, but mentally very strong.
Orochimaru's cursed seal version of the inferior Sage Mode actually seems to have some merit.
"It's over, Mitarashi Ishikawa." Kimimaro, having completed his cursed seal transformation, snorted coldly, and with a swift movement, he transformed into a blur as he lunged at Ishikawa's spirit.
Ishikawa merely smiled slightly, his spirit body crackling with electric arcs that instantly transformed into lightning, clashing with Kimimaro's fists. The crackling lightning-attribute chakra instantly enveloped the two of them, engulfing and paralyzing Kimimaro.
"It's over, but I won!!" Looking at Kimimaro, whose consciousness was slowly collapsing so close to him, Ishikawa quickly read through the fragments of memory and couldn't help but smile in victory.
He is not the same person he was before. With the blessing of ten chakra, his Spirit Transformation Technique is no weaker than that of Kato Dan in World War II.
"Damn it!!" Kimimaro roared in anger upon seeing this, but despite his resentment, his physical weakness was even more obvious, making it impossible for him to enter state two.
Kimimaro was filled with shock and anger, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light, realizing that his memories would be rapidly read and expose Lord Orochimaru's information!
He absolutely cannot let the other side succeed! He would rather commit suicide on the spot than give up.
"Lord Kimimaro..."
In the blink of an eye, just as Kimimaro was determined to commit suicide in a desperate act, the four Sound Ninja filed into the room.
Upon entering, the four saw Kimimaro lying on the hospital bed, his cursed seal activating, and he was panting heavily and sweating profusely, clearly on the verge of dying!
The situation was dire, and without a second thought, Sakon plunged the syringe left by Kabuto into Kimimaro's neck, brutally injecting it...
Although it's unknown whether this injection can help Kimimaro overcome his difficulties, if nothing is done, the opponent will most likely die.
If that happens, they won't be able to explain themselves when Lord Orochimaru returns.
"Ugh...uh..."
Almost the instant the injection was administered, Kimimaro's unfocused gaze suddenly sharpened, and the cursed markings on his body extended again, undergoing a qualitative change.
Kimimaro's body rapidly darkened, transforming into a humanoid monster that resembled both a human and a beast, with bone thorns and brambles growing from his front and back, and a bony tail extending from his thigh...
"Cursed Seal - Second!!"
In the realm of consciousness, Ishikawa watched as the strongest Kimimaro, whose appearance had drastically changed and who had broken free of his restraints, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth, and could only manage a feeble sigh...
This is troublesome. Kimimaro in his second form is not someone he can easily defeat. What's more, the Sound Four are watching closely outside!
Once the fighting begins, Kimimaro will give the order for the Sound Four to join the battle, and he will surely return empty-handed.
After all, the Four Purple Flame Formation of the Four can isolate spiritual transformation techniques, and he would be in big trouble if he were trapped!
"Kimimaro, I have a way to cure your illness and regain Orochimaru's attention! You know his situation, and you will surely fulfill your dream of becoming his reincarnation vessel."
Just as Kimimaro with the second cursed seal was about to make his move, Ishikawa had a sudden thought and quickly spoke, uttering something astonishing.
In an instant, Kimimaro, who had already unleashed his full power and rushed halfway, seemed to freeze, his consciousness standing there, his eyes flickering...
His biggest regret was that he couldn't become Orochimaru's vessel for reincarnation.
But why would the other party be kind enough to help him? They must have something else in mind, something to make him betray Lord Orochimaru.
Damn it, the other party must have read some of his memories just now, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to obtain such secret information.
"If your goal is to obtain something from Lord Orochimaru through me, then I'm sorry, you may have to be disappointed!" After a moment's hesitation, Kimimaro suppressed his desires and resolutely refused.
Although he really wanted to heal his body and become Orochimaru's reincarnation vessel, he would never betray Orochimaru for that reason!
"Heh! It seems you still don't quite understand the current situation, Kimimaro."
"If you are truly loyal to Orochimaru and willing to give everything for him, then you can definitely talk to me calmly..."
"After all, Orochimaru's attempt to find Lady Tsunade to heal his hands will inevitably fail. His most important task now is to reincarnate into a perfect vessel and be reborn."
"So right now, you're just ruining Orochimaru's future by showing your foolish loyalty!"
"My request isn't high. Just give me some Hashirama cells and a cloned Eight-Tails horn, and I'll heal your body, fulfilling your dream while also saving Orochimaru!!"
"So, are you interested in this deal?"
