From Mizuki's pale face, it can be seen that he has lost too much blood. The abnormality of the chakra in his right arm is still very obvious to someone with a keen sense like Orochimaru.

Even though he's injured like this, he still comes here. It seems like he's determined to fight.

"It's really lively today. People keep coming to our door. It looks like we won't be able to leave today unless we beat you off."

With Orochimaru's pride, he usually doesn't care about things that he doesn't care about, but being looked down upon one after another makes him a little dissatisfied.

"what to do?"

The Shuimu clone felt a little uneasy.

"I wouldn't be afraid of you when you're in good condition, but now that you're in this state, it's not wise to confront you head-on!"

"I know!"

The tailed beast transformation of the main body has been lifted, and the Sage Mode is no longer used.

"The severe pain in my right arm makes it difficult for me to hit the spirit, and the slight deviation of my body interferes with the control of my chakra..."

"Since there is a problem, we can't put too much alien chakra into our body! But the Sage Mode can't be used for the time being, so should we just leave now?"

Anyway, I already have the Reincarnation of the Living Corpse and the Eight-Headed Technique, so it doesn't matter if the mission fails.

"There is still a way. Without using the Sage Mode, there is still the Curse Seal!"

"Curse seal? You should think carefully. If you use this, the risk still exists."

"I understand that this level of risk is worth it!"

There is no doubt that the tailed beast chakra can absorb natural energy to strengthen itself. No matter what method is used to absorb natural energy, if it touches the tailed beast chakra, as long as the amount is sufficient, it will activate the tailed beast transformation.

There is another way, which is to use extreme emotional resonance to activate the tailed beast chakra, allowing it to absorb natural energy on its own and gradually transform into a tailed beast. This is somewhat similar to the brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku, whose physique and personality are extremely suitable for the use of the tailed beast chakra.

But Mizuki undoubtedly couldn't do that. Mizuki was not a jinchūriki. The tailed beast chakra was a highly corrosive and poisonous substance for ordinary ninjas. It was very dangerous to come into contact with it casually. Transforming into a tailed beast was even more of a test for the body.

When Uzumaki Naruto uses the half-tailed beast transformation and reveals four tails, he can fight Orochimaru in his current state on equal terms. This is where Mizuki's confidence comes from, and he is not weaker than the four-tailed Uzumaki Naruto.

But even for Uzumaki Naruto, after becoming a half-tailed beast, his body was corroded beyond recognition and his skin was almost peeled off completely.

Mizuki was able to use the Seven-Tails to fully transform into a tailed beast with the support of the powerful recovery ability of the Sage Mode. Without this, his own body would definitely not be able to withstand it. After all, he was forcibly activating it, and the erosion of the tailed beast's chakra was more obvious.

The immortalization caused by the curse does not have such a strong recovery effect, so all the pressure will have to be borne by Shuimu.

The only advantage is that the control ability required for the curse is not that high. On the contrary, it is a test of one's own will and endurance.

As for the transformation into a tailed beast, the control requirements are even lower. Simple and crude is the most effective method. Except for the effort required when using the tailed beast ball, there won't be too much trouble.

"Yin Yushangmie is definitely not enough. Let's use the all-purpose potion first?"

Without the clone's suggestion, Shuimu's real body had already picked up a tube of green potion and drank it.

Orochimaru had already started impatiently, so Mizuki naturally couldn't delay.

"Just watch from the sidelines!"

The tailed beast chakra was prepared, and then the curse seal was activated.

"Oh, that's not right. Isn't your right arm gone? It was burned to ashes just now..."

The clone's unintentional reminder startled Shuimu's original body.

"Yes, the arm with the curse seal and the evil-sealing seal has been cut off, but..."

Mizuki instantly realized that the situation was not good.

Although the seal of Shuimu is on the right arm, its essence is actually rooted in the soul. As for the position where the seal often manifests, it is only the link between the seal and the body. If the arm is cut off, it will not affect the existence of the seal, but the position of manifestation will directly reflect from the soul to the whole body.

This will cause a lot of trouble...

"The seal to seal evil is gone!"

The sealing technique is applied to the body, locking the spread of power at the outlet where the cursed chakra leaks.

Now that the seal no longer exists, it would be fine if Shuimu did not trigger the curse, but once it erupts, it would not be easy to retract it as easily as before.

The original body and the clone looked at each other.

"The curse seal, you haven't activated it yet!"

The main body nodded woodenly, no longer daring to imagine what would happen next.

"The Tailed Beast's chakra is also beginning to spread throughout the body."

"I'd better bring Tenzang here quickly just in case!"

"If you can't control it, wait until the power is fully released before recovering it!"

"Then you're in big trouble!"

No one here can subdue the fully released power of the tailed beast. Once Mizuki's power is fully released, it will probably take a long time to recuperate.

"Which tailed beast did you use?"

"Five-tailed Mu-King!"

The most powerful tailed beast, Mizuki's clone couldn't help but hold his forehead in pain. It was much more difficult to subdue it. If it was the Six-tailed Rhino or the One-tailed Shukaku, it would be much easier to deal with.

…

Orochimaru summoned several giant snakes and pounced towards Mizuki, but was surprised to see that only the injured Mizuki was standing in the front ready to resist, while the clones, the summoned beast giant bear and Sasuke all retreated far to the side.

"Why is there only one of you? You want to fight me without using Sage Mode? Do you really think you are Jiraiya?"

Although the giant snakes were powerful, they were still inferior to a Jonin. Orochimaru did not expect these large beasts to be of any use. He opened his big mouth, and the Kusanagi sword rapidly extended, cutting through the barrier of space and stabbing Mizuki in the chest.

It did not pierce the body as expected, but instead made a crisp sound of metal colliding. A layer of light red chakra in front of Mizuki blocked the attack of the Kusanagi sword. As the tailed beast's chakra continued to overflow, the color continued to deepen.

Mizuki's long silver hair turned into a giant hand and grabbed the blade of the Kusanagi sword, preventing it from slashing around.

"Without the Sealing Evil Seal, and without the magatama-shaped chakra flowing out, this is how the curse seal is activated!"

Unlike other people who use the curse seal and gradually improve from state one to state two, Mizuki's way of using the curse seal is more like Chougo, directly absorbing huge amounts of energy, and then the whole body undergoes a sage-like mutation at the same time.

"It's a little slow to activate, but the explosion is more violent. If I want to take it back, do I have to kill like Jūgo? I've also activated the Tailed Beast Transformation at the same time. This is bad!"
