Since Orochimaru's defection, she, as his student, has never been given an important position in Konoha.
Now that Tsunade has put her in charge of the Cursed Seal Squad, her position is clearly going to change.
Mitarashi Anko speculated that this was most likely related to Orochimaru's return to Konoha.
Genma Shiranui and Raido Namiashi were also very excited.
Their situation was actually similar to that of Mitarashi Anko.
After the death of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, they lost their power and became ordinary special Jonin.
"The Cursed Seal Force is tentatively set at sixty-two people. You and Genma will be in charge, managing fifteen ninja squads."
Kitazawa nodded and added, "The Cursed Seal Force will be directly under the Hokage."
Mitarashi Anko, Shiranui Genma, and the others all smiled upon hearing this.
Directly under the Hokage, in a sense, the Cursed Seal Force and the Anbu are organizations or departments of the same level.
As the two in charge, they practically rose to the ranks of Konoha's high-ranking officials overnight.
"The improvement of the Earth Seal is divided into two directions. One is to increase the success rate of inoculation, which is the responsibility of Lord Orochimaru."
Kitazawa continued, "Secondly, I am responsible for limiting the side effects of the Earth Curse Seal, and I have successfully improved it."
"I've heard about your title of Creative Ninja for a long time, and now that I see it, it's truly impressive."
Mitarashi Anko said with complete admiration.
She understood the Heavenly Curse Mark and the Earthly Curse Mark better than Genma Shiranui and the others, and knew the difficulty of modifying them.
"Let me demonstrate it for you first."
Kitazawa looked at Jugo and said, "His name is Jugo, and he is equivalent to an Earth Curse Mark Inoculator."
Jugo looked at him expectantly.
He had understood the conversation just now; Kitazawa had indeed come up with a way to help him limit the side effects of his immortal physique.
He will no longer have to worry about turning into a killer due to the loss of control over natural energy.
"Shigego, take off your shirt."
Kitazawa gave the instructions.
Shigeo immediately did as instructed.
"My improved Earth Seal is called the Eightfold Earth Seal."
As Kitazawa spoke, he formed hand seals and inscribed the seal technique on Jugo's body.
Everyone watched his actions intently.
However, most people only had a superficial understanding, and only Mitarashi Anko understood quite a bit.
"Once Lord Orochimaru successfully improves the Earth Curse Seal, you will be inoculated with it."
Half an hour later, Kitazawa withdrew his hand and said.
Jugo's upper body was covered with spell patterns, but they were slowly fading away.
Under normal circumstances, it will only appear after using the Earth Seal; otherwise, there will be no difference.
"It's not too late to withdraw now."
Kitazawa looked at them and said with a smile.
"We definitely won't back down."
Mitarashi Anko and the others said with firm expressions.
Not only can it enhance strength, but it can also elevate status; such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern.
"Your task during this period is to find members for the Cursed Seal Squad, compile a list, and hand it over to Tsunade-sensei."
Kitazawa clapped his hands and said, "That's all for now, see you next time."
He swiftly and decisively led Jugo out of the conference room.
Mitarashi Anko, Shiranui Genma, and the others stood there stunned, feeling that today's experience was truly a dream.
Suddenly they joined the Cursed Seal Force and gained tremendous benefits.

Orochimaru's modification was to increase the success rate of inoculating the Earth Curse Seal.
In terms of difficulty, it is much more challenging than the renovation of Kitazawa, so it takes much longer.
The Eightfold Earth Curse Seal is actually quite simple in principle; it's just the Earth Curse Seal combined with a sealing technique.
Any skilled sealing ninja can create the Eightfold Earth Curse Seal; it's just a matter of how long it takes.
Of course, whether it's Konoha or other ninja villages, excellent sealing ninjas are extremely rare.
Time passed slowly.
After the monthly exam, the gifted class went back to their regular training, and nothing special happened.
Konan has returned to Konoha Village, but the Land of Rain is bustling with the production of silver jewelry.
Two weeks later, Kitazawa was notified by the Anbu and went to the Hokage's office.
There are two things.
Tsunade looked at Kitazawa who was walking over and said with a smile, "The first thing is that Orochimaru has successfully improved the Earth Curse Seal."
After she finished speaking, she handed him a scroll.
Kitazawa opened the scroll and began to read it.
He had already mastered the Earth Seal through the system, so he could understand the contents of the scroll.
"Lord Orochimaru is indeed a genius."
Kitazawa sighed.
After Orochimaru returned to Konoha, he could no longer address him by his given name.
After all, he was Tsunade's teammate and a generation above her.
"He was originally the smartest among our class, but unfortunately he went astray."
Tsunade shook her head and said.
"The success rate of the improved Earth Seal has increased ninefold. More importantly, it no longer results in death after failure; at most, one will be seriously injured."
Kitazawa closed the scroll and said, "From today onwards, we can arrange for the ninjas of the Cursed Seal Squad to be inoculated with the Earth Cursed Seal one by one."
"The second thing I want to tell you is which ninjas should be selected to join the Cursed Seal Squad."
Tsunade patted a stack of documents on the table and said, "This is the preliminary list of one hundred ninjas that Anko gave me."
Kitazawa glanced at it.
It's called a document, but it's actually just the resumes or documents of a hundred ninjas.
"You're letting me choose?"
Kitazawa casually flipped through a few pages and asked.
"Without you, there would be no Cursed Seal Force."
Tsunade nodded and said with a smile, "It's only right that you choose."
"I don't think we need to select anyone. Let them all get the Earth Curse Seal. Once they succeed, we can add them."
Kitazawa pondered for a moment and said, "The Earth Curse Seal still has a considerable possibility of failure, and we might not even be able to gather sixty of them."
"Makes sense."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade instructed, "Arrange for them to go and inoculate Orochimaru with the Earthly Curse Seal at regular intervals. Once they succeed, they should come back to you."
“Okay, I’ll have the secret service inform them.”
After Kitazawa finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Has no one in the sealing class learned the Eightfold Earth Curse Seal?"
After he modified the Eightfold Earth Curse Seal, he handed it over to the Jonin of the Sealing Team to learn.
If a Jonin can learn this skill, they can help share his workload.
