Second Body hadn't expected it to be the Lava Curse Method, the technique of the old man Jogo, who only fought in high-level battles. Second Body was a little surprised; the Lava Curse Method's expressive power and damage were much higher than Ice Formation Curses.
Although it seemed like Jogo always ended up miserably whenever he made a move, that didn't mean his strength was weak. The main reason was that Jogo had only made two moves: once against the strongest Gojo Satoru of the modern era, and once against the strongest King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, from a thousand years ago.
If Jogo didn't fight in high-level battles, his strength would definitely be the strongest among the four special-grade Curse Spirits. Unfortunately, his debut was unfavorable; he didn't pick the right opponents.
Second Body replaced Five Thunder Spell with Lava Curse Method. As the Cursed Technique was engraved into her body, Second Body also finished receiving the information about Jogo's Cursed Technique.
It must be said that, compared to Five Thunder Spell and Ice Formation Curses, the initial strength of Lava Curse Method was far higher than the previous two Cursed Techniques, and the same applied to its damage to people.
After all, it was a Cursed Technique formed from humanity's fear of the natural disaster of volcanoes, inherently possessing the might of a volcano. If it were in the Campione! world, Jogo's Cursed Technique would definitely be a powerful Authority.
Second Body felt that Jogo represented volcanoes, so it naturally possessed the Authority of volcanoes.
Whether it was creating small volcanic eruptions or directly manipulating flames, it was stronger than simply controlling magma and flames.
However, this strength was also relative. For example, the power of Jogo's use of lava was not as strong as the damage from Ryomen Sukuna's use of a Fire Release, which he was not proficient in.
Strength still depended on the person. However, in the same circumstances, the Lava Curse Method was still considered very strong. Second Body felt it was definitely much stronger than the Lava Release in the Naruto world.
The Lava Release of Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, could actually be suppressed by Kisame Hoshigaki, a Ninja who only knew Water Release, which showed that the temperature of Lava Release was not very high.
Second Body condensed a ball of fluid-like flame in her palm. Second Body felt that its temperature was indeed much higher than that of Fire Release, at least higher than the Fire Release she controlled.
Moreover, this ball of flame also had extreme impact force and could be ejected at any time, causing excessive damage. It could be said that the damage from ejecting this ball of flame would definitely not be lower than Second Body's use of Majestic Destroyer Flame.
Controlling the fluid-like flame in her hand, it transformed into a swarm of flame butterflies, fluttering their wings and dancing around her. For a moment, the air was scorched and distorted.
The Technique Reversal of Lava Curse Method and Ice Formation Curses did not seem to be recorded in the information, nor did it appear in the original work.
Logically, Jogo, as a Curse Spirit, could not master Reversal Technique, so Rime should be able to use it, but she was never seen using it.
Second Body had no choice but to try injecting positive Curse Power into Ice Formation Curses. Then, Second Body felt that the power of the cold current was greatly enhanced, and its range and speed were greatly improved. (Second setting: Who knows what this Technique Reversal looks like? Rime can use Reversal Technique. Maybe Gege Akutami forgot to draw it. I originally wanted to set it as a flame flow similar to Scorch Release, but I decided against it.)
"No wonder Rime didn't use any Technique Reversal. It turns out she could already use it. I thought the ultra-low temperature cold current would turn into ultra-high temperature, which made me happy for nothing."
However, the improvement was also quite significant. Before, it couldn't even reach minus one hundred degrees Celsius at its lowest, but now it should be below minus one hundred degrees Celsius.
Second Body swapped out Ice Formation Curses for Twin Curse Method. Second Body still didn't know what the effect of Twin Curse Method's Technique Reversal was, as the Cursed User who mastered Twin Curse Method couldn't use Reversal Technique, so Technique Reversal was naturally out of the question.
As Second Body injected positive Curse Power into Twin Curse Method, Technique Reversal activated. Second Body instantly felt that she could merge with her Second Body, and her strength directly doubled.
"Wow! That's something! This is truly one plus one is greater than two. By merging with my Second Body, my strength should be able to reach the Super Kage-level."
Second Body was a little surprised; she had gained another trump card. If she were fighting an equally matched enemy, and Second Body's overall attributes doubled, she could definitely make her opponent cry.
A twofold increase in her own strength was not as simple as Second Body and her Second Body fighting together. Simply put, if Second Body's strength doubled, she could defeat ten of her former selves.
This was a qualitative change in strength, raising Second Body's normal state strength from the strong Kage-level floor to the Super Kage-level floor. If combined with Sage Mode, she would be close to Hashirama's peak strength.
However, compared to Hashirama's endurance, Second Body's combat power, boosted by Twin Curse Method's Reversal Technique and Sage Mode, could at most sustain high-intensity combat for a little over an hour.
After all, Second Body was not yet a Sage Body, and it was also difficult for her Curse Power to continuously maintain Reversal Technique, unless she activated the Sage Body genes through Sage Mode to possess a Sage Body and subjugated Mahoraga to possess the Curse Power of a special-grade Cursed User, then it would be somewhat comparable.
In short, even if Second Body faced Madara with a single Rinnegan now, she could exchange blows and wouldn't be a rookie instantly defeated by Limbo: Border Jail.
With this trump card of her own strength doubling, Second Body could act recklessly. Even Jigen would have to taste her power.
Unfortunately, without these, Second Body's own normal state strength barely reached the strong Kage-level, which was the same level as the Third Raikage and Killer Bee during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Actually, Second Body could try to find an opportunity to subjugate Mahoraga. As long as she found a good timing, Second Body would first enter Sage Mode, then directly use Twin Curse Method's Reversal Technique, which would definitely instantly kill Mahoraga.
However, Second Body couldn't free herself at the moment; she needed to find a good time, because Second Body's Curse Power sensed that Black Zetsu, that old bastard, was secretly observing her again.
So Second Body walked out of the wooden house as if nothing was wrong, planning to see how long Black Zetsu would monitor her. If she wasn't afraid that the Sage Art Sealing Technique couldn't permanently seal Black Zetsu, Second Body would have already reunited them with their mother.
Actually, Second Body could also use the Six Paths Sealing Technique with a portion of Six Paths Power left to her by the Sage of Six Paths to permanently seal Black Zetsu.
Unfortunately, Second Body was reluctant. Black Zetsu posed no real threat, merely being annoying, and it wasn't necessary to waste precious Six Paths Power on it.
Finally, there was the Technique Reversal of Lava Curse Method. Injecting positive Curse Power into Lava Curse Method, as Second Body expected, it only resulted in an increase in temperature and impact force.
The result of these three consecutive draws was neither good nor bad. Second Body had originally thought she could draw Six Eyes and Limitless, and experience the taste of being supreme in heaven and earth.
"Second Body, Rasa is on his way with five thousand Ninja. My communication snake has discovered their tracks. If a major battle is to occur, I'll trouble you to deal with Rasa."
Orochimaru had already mobilized Konoha Ninja to set up defenses. They currently only had a little over two thousand four hundred combatants, which was a definite disadvantage compared to the five thousand Sand Ninja.
If Rasa were to recklessly launch a major battle, Konoha would still suffer heavy losses, even if they had three Kage-level powerhouses on their side.
Second Body could now quickly defeat Rasa if she didn't play around. Rasa's strength felt even weaker than Gaara's.
