Hearing that sound, Shu’s eyes instantly lit up.
(Sure enough!)
(Altering the original storyline can yield additional reward points and side storylines from the Main God Space!)
(This is exactly the same as that giant sphere of light.)
(Only, why is it only 500 Reward Points?)
(Isn’t this way too little?)
(Is it because the change I made this time was too small?)
(After all, regardless of whether Shuichi’s father is cremated or buried underground, the spiral ruins beneath Kurozu Town still exist, and the ending where the town is eventually completely swallowed by the curse does not change.)
(This annoying Main God Space is truly infuriating, not even providing a guidebook.)
(If only a guide had been provided from the start, at least I could understand how this reward mechanism is calculated.)
(However, even though it’s only 500 Reward Points, this is clearly an important signal.)
(Within this Main God Space, it is indeed possible to gain points by actively interfering in the storyline!)
Thinking about this, the corners of Shu’s mouth lifted.
Tsunade sharply caught that change and asked: “Hey, brat, what are you smiling about all by yourself over there? What’s wrong?”
“Hehe, it’s nothing.” Shu regained his composure and smiled at Tsunade, “Just confirming a speculation, and discovering something advantageous for us.”
As the two of them spoke, the sound of footsteps suddenly broke the oppressive silence around the mourning hall.
“Shuichi! I heard uncle he…”
A girl with shoulder-length short hair and a pretty face ran to the gate of the Saito family’s house out of breath while carrying a school bag.
“Kirie!”
Seeing the person who arrived, Shuichi immediately greeted her and tightly grasped the girl’s hand.
Shu turned his head and observed the girl from top to bottom.
(This is the female protagonist, Goshima Kirie?)
Seeing Kirie’s appearance, Shu immediately thought.
If the current timeline was right after Shuichi’s father passed away and Kirie came to pay her respects…
Then it meant the spiral curse was actually not limited to Shuichi’s father alone!
In Shu’s mind, several key supporting characters flashed by rapidly.
For example, a classmate around Kirie named Kurotani Azami should already be starting to get infected by the curse at this moment.
On Azami’s forehead was a crescent-shaped scar.
Because that scar was crescent-shaped, it also symbolized a spiral.
Before long, that scar would expand rapidly, and finally in front of everyone’s eyes, Azami would be sucked into herself, swallowed until not even a shred remained. Follow the newest chapters on NovelPing.
Besides, that was also an iconic scene that was very classic and disgusting in Uzumaki!
If he could prevent it, this would definitely be counted as a significant storyline change, the Main God Space would surely grant additional rewards.
Shu immediately scanned the crowd around the mourning hall.
Azami’s figure was not found.
Shu directly turned around and walked briskly out of the Saito family’s gate.
Tsunade frowned, but still followed along.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the Saito family’s gate, Shu saw a girl wearing a dark blue school uniform standing at a street corner not far away.
The girl’s bangs were very long, almost covering most of her eyes, and at that moment she was looking toward the direction of the Saito family’s house.
Shu directly activated the Sharingan to observe.
In the perspective of the Sharingan, he clearly saw that at the position of the girl’s forehead, there was a lump of concentrated energy residing.
“Looks like I found her!”
“You’re Kurotani Azami, right?” Shu walked in front of her and asked directly.
Azami was startled by Shu’s sudden appearance, she took a step back warily: “Who are you?”
Shu had completely no intention of exchanging pleasantries with her.
Talking logic with someone affected by a curse was just wasting time, acting directly was the most efficient.
Illusion: Sharingan!
Azami’s gaze instantly went blank, her entire body froze in place, not moving at all.
Tsunade stepped forward and glanced at Azami who was being controlled: “Why? This little girl is also infected by the curse?”
“Yeah.” Shu nodded, “But her infection shouldn’t be deep yet.”
Saying so, Shu reached out and directly brushed aside Azami’s long bangs.
“Sss—”
Even though he already had mental preparation, upon seeing the sight underneath, Shu still couldn’t help drawing in a cold breath.
On Azami’s forehead, the flesh was gone, replaced by a spiral!
Although it was still small, as if it possessed life, that spiral was moving slowly.
“This thing… truly disgusting! Swallowing the human body directly?” Tsunade’s eyes sharpened.
Shu said to Tsunade: “She is still in the early stage of the curse, Tsunade-sama, see if you can save her. If it works… there might be a surprise.” This story is hosted at g.com.
Tsunade glanced at him.
Even though she didn’t know what Shu was planning, she still nodded.
“Fine, I’ll give it a try.”
Tsunade stepped forward, both her hands glowing green again, and placed them on Azami’s forehead.
After a moment, she withdrew her hand with a furrowed brow: “True, the early-stage curse energy is relatively weak. I can use chakra to suppress it within a small scope so it doesn’t continue spreading.”
“But…” Tsunade paused for a moment, “This is still not a way to cure the root cause. That curse energy is very stubborn, it will act like a parasite slowly eroding my chakra. As time passes, if the chakra runs out, the curse will erupt again, and the backlash will be even worse.”
Shu stroked his chin: “Tsunade-sama, since chakra will be eroded by it, how about using a sealing technique?”
In the Naruto World, sealing techniques were notoriously absurd, with the claim that everything could be sealed!
Let alone Tailed Beasts, chakra, or souls; if ruthless enough, even one’s own biological mother could be sealed!
It was impossible that something as small as curse energy couldn’t be sealed!
“If using a sealing technique…” Tsunade’s eyes lit up, nodding in agreement, “This idea is indeed good! Since chakra will be slowly eroded by it, then use a seal to forcibly extract it, this is indeed worth a try!”
She turned to look at Shu: “In that case, you do the sealing. I’ll be on the side protecting this girl’s brain with chakra at any time, and helping you adjust according to the situation. Anyway, I still need to deeply examine what other hidden characteristics this strange energy possesses…”
Shu coughed twice and quietly stepped back half a step: “That… Tsunade-sama, sealing techniques… I can’t do them.”
“What?” Tsunade was stunned.
“Tsunade-sama, not everyone is you or the Fourth Hokage!” Shu spread his hands with confidence, “Is a sealing technique something that common? Isn’t it normal that I can’t?”
To be honest, Shu still greatly admired Namikaze Minato.
Of course, that was excluding Minato’s helpless “love slave” trait.
What Shu admired was Minato’s ninjutsu talent.
Not only could he use various high-level sealing techniques and the Flying Thunder God Technique as basic attacks, but he also created the Rasengan.
Compared to him, the ninja talent of this body was truly very concerning.
Shu also didn’t know if it was because he was a Transmigrator, his soul was incompatible with the chakra circuit, the process of him learning ninjutsu was even more painful than studying calculus in his previous life.
Even though he could memorize the principles of ninjutsu scrolls and hand seal sequences by heart, whenever it was time for practice, when it was time to channel chakra through the meridians, he always felt there was a very rigid obstruction in his body.
Chakra either got stuck here or dissipated there, making ninjutsu extremely difficult to successfully cast.
After all these years here, aside from awakening the one-tomoe Sharingan due to accidental stimulation, and the Three Basic Techniques mandatory at the Ninja Academy, the only offensive ninjutsu he could painstakingly unleash was the Great Fireball Technique very common in the Uchiha clan.
This was the fundamental reason why at the age of 26 he was still stuck at the Genin level.
Even learning basic elemental ninjutsu was a struggle for him, let alone the most obscure and difficult-to-understand sealing techniques in the ninja world.
Ninjas who could comprehend sealing techniques in the Naruto World, if counted, numbered only a handful.
Most of them were members of the Uzumaki clan or super geniuses like the Fourth Hokage.
This thing was just like high-level topology or algebra in his previous life.
