"Mmm, comfortable~"
Hyūga Masashi stretched lazily, opened the window, and breathed in the fresh air, feeling completely relaxed.
Since they were sent back to Konoha as injured soldiers, they were directly assigned to deluxe wards, one room per person. Hyūga Masashi was the least injured among them.
Not only did he not have to fight, but he also had pretty nurses doting on him every day, living like an immortal...
"Do you wish to live here forever?"
Hyūga Masashi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I really wish to live here forever…"
After a moment of stunned silence, Hyūga Masashi suddenly came to his senses and looked out the window in surprise: "Who was that just now?"
Yamada Yukiko slowly emerged...
"Yukiko, when did you become so fond of joking?"
Hyūga Masashi scratched his head in confusion. Yamada Yukiko had always been a person of few words.
Yamada Yukiko shook her head gently, indicating: It wasn't me!
"If it wasn't you, then who was it?"
Hyūga Masashi raised his eyebrows in annoyance: "There's no one else here but us two, not even a ghost…"
Before he finished speaking, Aoi slowly floated in through the window, clenching his fist and grinning sinisterly: "Masashi, you seem to have been living too comfortably lately…"
"Cap, Captain?"
"Be prepared!"
Aoi lunged at Hyūga Masashi with a cold smile.
Ten minutes later, Hyūga Masashi, bruised and swollen, clutched his wounds with a wronged expression: "I'm still a patient, do you have to be so unsympathetic?"
"Sympathy?"
Aoi frowned and sneered: "Do you think Reto would have shown you sympathy when he came looking for you? With your current strength, can you keep up with me?"
Hearing this, Hyūga Masashi also fell silent. They hadn't been able to help Aoi at all in that battle...
They had even almost become a burden to Aoi!
The reason for the existence of ninja squads is that team members can support each other. If the strength gap between two people is too large, they will eventually be left behind by Aoi.
Thinking of this, Hyūga Masashi couldn't help but grit his teeth: No matter what, he didn't want to be the one left behind!
Seeing this, Aoi nodded slightly with satisfaction:
Only those who possess a desire for power are worthy of his investment. From any perspective, Hyūga Masashi is a good investment candidate.
"Do you want power?" Aoi extended his hand to Hyūga Masashi: "Do you want enough power to catch up to me?"
"I do!"
A bright light erupted in Hyūga Masashi's eyes...
"Even if this power might cost you your life, you have no regrets?" Aoi stared intently at Hyūga Masashi. If he showed even the slightest hesitation, Aoi would give up on him.
However...
"I have no regrets!"
Hyūga Masashi grabbed Aoi's hand without any hesitation, kneeling on one knee: "I want to follow you forever, even if it costs me my life, I will not fear!"
"Ding…"
Normal Achievement: First Follower. Reward: Two hundred points. When a being is willing to follow you even at the cost of their life, they are called a follower!
Character: Aoi Ren.
Title: Kazekage Killer.
Follower: Hyūga Masashi (69/100).
With loyalty exceeding the passing line of sixty, a follower willing to give their life for you. Only today has Aoi truly won over Hyūga Masashi.
"Very good!"
Aoi smiled and quickly formed hand seals, gently placing a palm on Hyūga Masashi's chest...
"Curse of Heaven!"
Immediately, a three-tomoe Curse of Heaven gradually appeared on Hyūga Masashi's frail chest. As soon as the curse appeared, Hyūga Masashi let out a scream and collapsed.
After all, the curse was a form of Sage Mode created by Orochimaru through Jūgo's mutation, similar to the trials of the White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave...
Not everyone can withstand such powerful natural energy!
"Ah Ah~"
Hyūga Masashi screamed in pain, and his pure white eyes began to dim. Clearly, his body was not sufficient to support the influx of natural energy. Seeing that the natural energy was about to kill Hyūga Masashi.
Aoi took out a bottle of energy potion and poured it into Hyūga Masashi...
"Gulp, gulp~"
As soon as the energy potion entered his stomach, Hyūga Masashi regained his spirit and continued to resist the Curse of Heaven.
Ten minutes later, the three-tomoe Curse of Heaven finally subsided slowly...
When he opened his eyes again, Hyūga Masashi seemed like a different person, his eyes filled with confidence and power!
One curse mark, reshaping a life!
If this thing couldn't kill people, and Aoi returned to Earth, the world's richest person would probably not be Gates or Buffett...
This is the power of the curse mark!
The official cheat in the Naruto world, a mutated technology that even the chosen one Sasuke found good. At least, in the first battle between Sasuke and Naruto at the Valley of the End, it was Curse Mark Sasuke who defeated One-Tails Naruto!
From another perspective, in terms of enhancing low-level power, the curse mark might be even more potent than raising a Nine-Tails!
