Chapter 41 The Situation Gets Out of Control
Orochimaru stood quietly in front of Boruto, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He gently flicked his fingers, unleashing the Hidden Shadow Serpent Technique, which tightly wrapped around Boruto's body.
"...Let me go!" Boruto roared, pulling hard at the snake coiled around his body, but his efforts were in vain. The snake's body tightened, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Orochimaru's lips curled into a sinister smile as he said softly, "Give up, kid. You can't escape my grasp."
Boruto was very puzzled; he couldn't understand why Orochimaru had captured him but didn't kill him immediately.
Boruto asked breathlessly, "What...what are you going to do...?"
It's impossible that he's really going to participate in the Chunin Selection Exams and steal the [Book of Heaven], right?
Orochimaru sneered and threatened in a sinister tone, "You don't need to know too much, just stay here quietly."
"If you continue to resist, I can't guarantee what will happen. Perhaps I'll let you experience real pain..."
Orochimaru was able to sense that there was still a faint connection between the cursed seal in Boruto's body and the cursed seal, so he tried to induce and activate it.
When Orochimaru activated the cursed seal within Boruto, the seal did not appear on Boruto's neck as Orochimaru had expected. Instead, Boruto's right hand began to tremble slightly.
Orochimaru stared intently at Boruto's right hand, only to find it tightly bound with thick bandages. He used his Wind Cut technique to sever the bandages from Boruto's hand.
As the bandage slowly slipped off, the diamond-shaped mark on Boruto's palm was instantly exposed to Orochimaru's eyes.
Just moments later, a jet-black line appeared on Boruto's right hand. This line extended upwards at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, his entire right arm was completely covered by the dark line.
Seeing this, Orochimaru hurriedly stopped guiding the cursed seal, but by then the seal had already slipped out of his control.
"What on earth is going on..." Orochimaru murmured, his eyes filled with confusion.
Since he had been studying the cursed seal on Jugo for so long, nothing like this had ever happened before.
As the black mark on Boruto spread across his entire body like ink, Orochimaru realized that the last connection between himself and the cursed seal on Boruto had been severed, and could no longer have any effect on him.
"This is..." Boruto felt a powerful, unfamiliar force surge into his heart, sharpening his gaze.
Orochimaru stared at the black mark on Boruto's right hand and cheek, and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the curse seal I placed caused some kind of mutation in this brat's body, which is why he looks like this?
It should be noted that the success rate of implanting a curse mark is only about 10%, and the price of failure is death. However, after I implanted the curse mark into him, he neither succeeded nor died.
this......
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Just as Orochimaru was deep in thought, a burst of blazing flames suddenly roared from beside him.
Orochimaru reacted swiftly, quickly releasing Boruto and disappearing without a trace in a flash.
Boruto, freed from his restraints, took a deep breath and stretched his body forcefully, trying to relieve the discomfort caused by being tightly bound by the snake's body.
He felt as if his muscles had been tightly compressed, and he was extremely sore. It also seemed that the blood and qi in his body had become somewhat sluggish due to the prolonged pressure.
"...Boruto! Are you alright?" Naruto rushed to Boruto's side anxiously and asked with concern.
Sasuke frowned, staring at the strange black stripes on Boruto's body, and asked in confusion, "Boruto, what... what's going on with your body?"
Boruto shook his head, replying helplessly, "This is something that can't be explained in a short time. To be honest, even I don't quite understand what happened."
Immediately afterwards, Boruto tried to mobilize the chakra in his body, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the chakra that had been depleted began to emerge continuously.
"So far, there don't seem to be any adverse reactions, and my chakra even seems to have increased," Boruto muttered to himself.
Just as they were talking, Orochimaru reappeared behind them without warning, stretching his neck to bite Sasuke's nape.
"Ah!" Sasuke clutched the spot where Orochimaru had bitten him in pain, and knelt on the ground in agony.
Upon seeing this, Boruto immediately grabbed Orochimaru's head and flung him away with great force, sending Orochimaru flying far away.
Boruto then angrily charged forward and engaged in a fierce battle with Orochimaru. The two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch.
"Sasuke!" Sakura called out anxiously.
Orochimaru's actions this time were not only to achieve his predetermined goals, but also to assess whether Boruto could become an important pawn in his future plans.
During his intense battle with Boruto, Orochimaru noticed a significant improvement in Boruto's physical abilities; his speed, strength, and reaction time had all seen a qualitative leap.
Moreover, Boruto's spells have become significantly more powerful, although he has not yet fully mastered this power.
During his fight with Boruto, Orochimaru revealed a sly smile and licked his lips: "I just gave Sasuke some gifts, don't get so excited. I believe Sasuke will like this power... Hehe."
"Water Release: Waves!"
Boruto was furious and didn't want to hear what Orochimaru had to say. He quickly formed hand seals and spat out a stream of water several times larger than before, which charged straight at Orochimaru with astonishing power.
As the force of the water flow gradually weakened and eventually dissipated into the air, Boruto looked around but found that Orochimaru's figure had disappeared.
Only a faint trace of moisture and the marks of battle remained in the air. Orochimaru left the scene silently, as if he had never been there at all.
