“Truly, one can never escape this kind of classic drama anywhere.” Shu said with a sneer as he watched the scene, then activated his Sharingan eyes.
From the perspective of the Sharingan, he clearly saw that a lump of curse energy, even denser than yesterday’s corpse, was residing inside the fat boy’s body.
What was more, that energy had even faintly pierced through the boundaries of the skin, displaying the outline of a spiral-shaped shell on his back.
“Found him!”
Shu turned to Tsunade and said, “Do you see that fat kid being beaten up? His name is Katayama Tokuo. In the future I saw, this person was the first to mutate into a slug human.”
“Because he is frequently bullied by his classmates, his mental state constantly remains on the verge of inferiority and fear. In a place enveloped by curses like Kurozu Town, this kind of negative emotion is like the best fertilizer, which greatly accelerates the curse’s erosion of his body!”
“Before long, a hard spiral-shaped shell will completely grow on his back, and his entire body will completely degenerate into a slug human, forever losing his consciousness as a human. The initial symptoms of becoming a slug human are already starting to appear on him now!”
Hearing that, Tsunade frowned: “A slug human? Truly disgusting.”
After saying that, she stepped forward directly, approaching the bullies.
“Hey, you bunch of trash brats, haven’t you had enough of playing around?”
The four boys stopped the action in their hands, turned their heads, and inspected Tsunade from top to bottom.
The boy leading pointed at her arrogantly and scolded, “Old aunt, who are you? This is a school, unauthorized people are forbidden to meddle in other people’s business! Get lost out of here immediately!”
“Ol-old aunt?”
Hearing those words, Tsunade’s advancing steps paused for a moment, and veins instantly bulged on her forehead.
“Heh… old aunt, huh?”
Tsunade let out a cold laugh that made one’s hair stand on end.
She instantly darted forward, grabbed the collars of the two leading boys, and hurled them away casually with a wave of her hand.
*SLAM!* *SLAM!*
Two muffled collision sounds echoed.
The two robustly built boys were instantly thrown over a dozen meters away by the overwhelming force, heavily slamming into the brick wall, unable even to crawl up.
The remaining two boys had never seen such a scene before, their faces turning pale with fright, screaming strangely and immediately fleeing in panic.
Tsunade walked with a cold face up to Katayama who was still cowering on the ground, pulled him up forcefully, and pressed him against the wall.
After that, she began conducting an examination.
“Still in the early stage of the curse, very easy to deal with!”
Sealing Technique!
Along with the intricate black curse segment patterns rapidly spreading and intertwining on the boy’s back.
At that moment, the curse energy on Katayama’s back was forcibly suppressed, then pulled out.
Along with the curse being sealed, the strange wet and cold sensation in Katayama’s body instantly vanished, and his stiff body returned to normal.
At the same time.

Hearing the crisp notification sound ringing in her mind, Tsunade clapped her hands with satisfaction, the corners of her lips curving into a smile.
“Done, where is the next target?”
“Next?” Shu spread his hands, “It’s still the early stage of the curse, people infected with the curse aren’t just everywhere.”
“Then what? Just wait around like this?” Tsunade felt slightly unsatisfied.
“Of course not.” Shu shook his head, “Since we don’t know who will get cursed, we just need to keep an eye on Kirie and Shuichi.”
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Over the next two days, Shu and Tsunade kept revolving around Kirie and Shuichi.
Finally, on the evening of the second day, the curse finally targeted Kirie.
At that time, it was beginning to get dark, Kirie and Shuichi were walking side by side on their way home from school.
Without any warning, a cold gust of wind blew.
Kirie’s soft long hair suddenly began to move without control, and eventually twisted itself into a coiling spiral shape.
That hair seemed to possess independent self-awareness, flying wildly in the air.
“Hel-help!”
When Shu and Tsunade rushed over following the source of the sound, Kirie had already fallen to the ground.
Her mutant hair had tightly wrapped around her neck, choking her tighter and tighter, almost strangling her to death alive.
Her face began to turn blue, and both her hands desperately clawed at her own neck.
“Kirie! Let her go!”
Shuichi beside her looked panicked with reddened eyes, desperately trying to pull at those hairs.
However, that spiral hair possessed a terrifyingly shocking force, and with a strong jerk, directly threw Shuichi into a nearby brick wall.
“What a troublesome thing.”
Shu directly pulled a kunai from his ninja pouch, while chakra exploded beneath his feet.
Body Flicker Technique!
*WHOOSH!*
A shadow flashed, Shu was instantly right in front of Kirie.
“Don’t move!”
He snapped softly, his hand moving and the blade swinging.
The blade’s light scraped a shadow across the air.
Shu moved quickly and steadily, cleanly cutting off Kirie’s spiral hair right at her scalp.
“Ahem-ahem-ahem—!”
Kirie clutched her neck, panting heavily to inhale as much fresh air as possible.
Meanwhile, the severed hair chunks falling to the ground didn’t actually die immediately.
They writhed wildly on the floor like severed snake bodies.
“Tch! Truly disgusting!”
Both of Shu’s hands formed hand seals at high speed.
“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”
A fireball spewed out from his mouth, covering the area of the writhing severed hair.
Accompanied by a pungent burning smell, the fireball directly incinerated that bizarre hair into black ash.
[Ding! Detected Reincarnator successfully saved a core story character (Goshima Kirie), altering the direction of the original storyline.]
[Reward: 1 Rank-D Plot, 1000 Reward Points.]
Shu was stunned for a moment, the female protagonist only worth a Rank-D Plot?
But upon reflection, Shu could understand.
After all, Kirie wasn’t going to die this time, even if Shu didn’t step in, following the original storyline, she would eventually be saved by Shuichi using scissors.
Saving her earlier didn’t significantly alter the storyline after all.
Nevertheless, Shu felt a bit regretful in his heart.
Because the issue with Kirie’s hair was resolved earlier, the female student in the original story lost her comparison object.
Without the stimulation from Kirie’s long hair, her hair mutation wasn’t triggered by the curse, allowing her to escape disaster…
which meant, one Plot failed to be collected!
However, this was a chain reaction caused by altering the storyline, and Shu could do nothing about it.
After calming the two frightened people down, Kirie brought Shu and Tsunade back to her house.
However, the moment they stepped into the front yard of the Goshima family’s house.
“Spirals! This is the most perfect spiral! Hahaha!”
“So beautiful! I want to fire the most beautiful pottery in the world. With the most exquisite spiral texture! I am going to dig up all the soil in this town and fire everything into spiral shapes!!”
