Because she has already achieved her goal.
The roar of the wind suddenly rang out.
Kaguya Kimimaro appeared behind Shigenobu.
Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Camellia!
In a split second, he swung the bone knife in his hand.
An earthen wall rose at an extremely fast speed.
Chongxin breathed a sigh of relief; he had almost missed it.
But... his expression suddenly froze.
The bone easily pierced the earthen wall and stabbed into his heart with terrifying speed.
Chongxin opened his mouth, and blood gushed out.
The earthen wall cracked.
Only then did he notice that Kaguya Kimimaro had changed drastically and no longer looked human.
This is the Earth Seal, State Two.
Shigenori's earthen wall blocked the Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Camellia for a second, and he thought he could block it again if it came back.
However, under the blessing of the Earth Seal - State Two, the Earth Seal - State Two is greatly enhanced, with different speed and power.
Kaguya Kimimaro didn't hold back and delivered another blow.
Chongxin closed his eyes, leaned back, and fell into an eternal sleep.
We won!
Yamanaka Ino said excitedly.
"We actually killed a Jonin?"
Sakura Haruno asked incredulously.
In her mind, this battle would be extremely difficult.
But when the fight actually started, she easily won by using three water-style ninjutsu.
"Ninja warfare is intelligence warfare."
Kitazawa said, "You were able to defeat him because he didn't know your information."
"He didn't understand Kimimaro's Earth Curse Seal and Corpse Bone Pulse, so he made the wrong decision when faced with Kimimaro's sneak attack."
Sakura Haruno snapped out of her daze and agreed.
"And my illusions!"
Yamanaka Ino flicked her golden bangs, put her hands on her hips, and said smugly.
"It was my water-style technique and your illusion that drew his attention."
Sakura Haruno glared at her and corrected her.
"But my illusions were even more effective!"
Yamanaka Ino gave a soft hum and said.
"Okay, you all did a great job."
Kitazawa smiled and patted her head, interrupting her argument with Haruno Sakura.
"Teacher Kitazawa!"
Yamanaka Ino nuzzled his hand like a kitten, asking expectantly, "How many points will I get this time?"
"Don't worry, it will be a very high score."
Kitazawa replied.
"What about me? Can I be taller than Ino?"
Sakura Haruno couldn't wait to ask.
"Based on your performance just now, how could your score be higher than mine?"
Yamanaka Ino immediately retorted, unconvinced.
"Look at you two, arguing again."
Kitazawa smiled and said, "You two will get the same share."
"Since you've said so, Mr. Kitazawa, I'll gladly accept a draw with you this time."
Yamanaka Ino glanced at Haruno Sakura and said, "Wait until I learn... Next time, I'll definitely beat you!"
She almost blurted out "Ninja Technique: Heart Butterfly".
But she remembered that Kitazawa had just said that ninja warfare was intelligence warfare, so she quickly changed her words.
"It's not that easy!"
Sakura Haruno said without fear, "I'm waiting for your challenge!"
She had already guessed that Yamanaka Ino was learning a new ninjutsu, but she was also learning a new water jutsu, so she felt that she might not necessarily lose.
"Mission accomplished, let's return the way we came."
Kitazawa took out a spirit storage scroll, put away Shigenori's body, and then turned and left.
Kaguya Kimimaro, Yamanaka Ino, and Haruno Sakura quickly followed.
The group returned to Konoha Village on Monday morning.
"Go home and rest today, and classes will resume as normal tomorrow."
Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "If all the other teams have returned, then we'll announce the rankings tomorrow."
"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."
Kaguya Kimimaro, Yamanaka Ino, and Haruno Sakura all spoke in unison.
Kitazawa nodded and walked towards the Hokage Building.
He first handed in his mission at the mission hall, and then went to the Hokage's office.
During his last meeting with Tsunade, because of that kiss, there was still one thing he hadn't finished saying.
In addition, I had to go out on a mission the next day, so it was delayed until today.
But it's nothing urgent.
"Tsunade-sensei."
Kitazawa pushed open the door and walked in.
When did you get back?
Tsunade asked with a calm expression.
"Just now."
Kitazawa walked up to her and handed her a ninjutsu scroll.
"What is this? A mission report?"
Tsunade asked, somewhat puzzled.
You'll see when you see it.
Kitazawa said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade opened the scroll out of curiosity and began to read it.
She glanced at it and realized it was the Earth Curse Seal.
Why show her the Earth Curse Seal?
Tsunade continued reading, pondering, until she understood what was happening after the sealing technique was added.
Orochimaru's Earth Curse Seal has two states, which can be considered two restrictions, but the restrictions are very few.
After Kitazawa's improvements, eight restrictions were added.
Removing the first three restrictions will not have any impact on the body.
Once the first six restrictions are lifted, the original Earth Curse Seal, State Two level, is reached. Prolonged use will have side effects.
The remaining two restrictions are additional and have different functions.
When a user goes berserk and loses control, the seventh restriction will be automatically triggered, forcing the user to exit the Earth Seal.
If a user faces a life-threatening situation and is on the verge of death, the eighth restriction can be lifted.
This eighth restriction is like the Death Gate of the Eight Gates Formation; it completely goes out of control and unleashes its full power to defeat the enemy.
Since I'm about to die, who cares about side effects? I'll just have one last dance.
"Once Orochimaru's modifications are complete, and combined with your Eightfold Earth Curse Seal, our Konoha Village can definitely form a Curse Seal Army!"
After reading it, Tsunade looked up and said with some excitement.
There are many special military units in the five villages.
For example, the puppeteer unit of Sunagakure and the demolition unit of Iwagakure.
Strictly speaking, Konoha Village doesn't have any special military units.
But if we have to name a specific one, it would be the forces formed by the various ninja clans, such as the sensory forces led by the Byakugan.
The appearance of the Earth Curse Seal was enough for Konoha Village to form a Curse Seal Army.
Moreover, this cursed seal unit is quite strong, as they use the Earth Curse Seal, and at the very least, they are elite Chunin and special Jonin.
"That's what I think too."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
"You have done another service for Konoha Village."
Tsunade finished speaking with a smile and then suddenly paused.
She originally wanted to ask what reward you wanted, but then she remembered the reward Kitazawa had asked for last time.
"Who do you think should be in charge of this cursed seal force?"
Tsunade put down the ninjutsu scroll and changed the subject.
"Tsunade-sensei, please answer one question for me first."
Kitazawa shook his head and asked, "Who do you think should join the Cursed Seal Squad?"
Tsunade paused for a moment, then fell into thought.
The Earth Seal is indeed very good; it can enhance the user's strength.
Theoretically speaking, any ninja who can be inoculated with the Earth Curse Seal can try it.
But that's unrealistic and unnecessary.
What are your thoughts?
Tsunade noticed Kitazawa's calm demeanor and couldn't help but ask.
"Some genin, chunin, and special jonin, especially those whose strength has reached its limit."
Kitazawa didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly.
"Your line of thinking is correct!"
Tsunade's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she said.
Those ninjas who are least afraid of the side effects of the Earth Curse Seal are those whose strength cannot break through the bottleneck.
After all, their strength had reached its limit.
At this point, they would certainly agree readily to be inoculated with the Earthly Seal.
Those Jonin, such as Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi Hatake, and Kitazawa, would not agree to receive the Earth Curse Seal.
For them, the improvement is limited, and it even harms their physical and mental health, so it's not worth the effort.
