"Gensou-sama!"

Noticing Gensou's sudden appearance, Izumi and Jin immediately bowed respectfully.

This gesture was not only out of gratitude for being saved and taken in by the Hagoromo clan but also due to their admiration for a strong leader.

The Uchiha clan had always revered strength above all else.

To them, Gensou was a legendary figure, standing shoulder to shoulder with Hashirama and their own ancestor, Madara, and achieving the unprecedented feat of living a second life.

Without needing any persuasion from Gensou, they had already chosen to follow him.

Gensou nodded and, with Izumi and Jin stepping aside, he approached Sasuke.

"Orochimaru's curse mark, huh?"

With his extensive research on senjutsu while in Konoha, Gensou immediately recognized the natural energy contained within Sasuke's curse mark.

The curse mark was not the same as Sage Mode. Even Orochimaru, its creator, had not mastered senjutsu. Instead, it was a secret technique developed from Jugo's unique ability to absorb natural energy.

However, the curse mark was crude in its use of natural energy, transforming the user into something inhuman.

Gensou had no regard for it.

With Sasuke's potential, there was no need to rely on a curse mark that imposed such a heavy burden and risk on the body.

Moreover, the curse mark was inherently dangerous.

"Hold still."

Gensou instructed the sweat-soaked Sasuke.

Without Orochimaru's special medicine to counter the curse mark's backlash, Sasuke could

only endure the pain. Determined not to disappoint Gensou, he gritted his teeth and remained completely still.

Gensou nodded and, recalling the sealing technique he had learned from the Root, began to reverse the seal, muttering:

"Evil Releasing Seal!"

Gensou placed his right hand on the curse mark on Sasuke's neck.

A flash of red light appeared, and with a pull, Gensou extracted a phantom white snake from the mark.

With a stomp of his foot, a coffin rose from the ground.

Inside was a sleeping murderer, not yet dead but unconscious, serving as the sacrifice.

With another pull, Gensou completely removed Orochimaru's soul fragment from the curse mark and pressed it into the murderer's body.

The murderer's appearance rapidly changed.

Finally, a figure with pale skin and golden snake-like eyes emerged, resembling Orochimaru. "We meet again, Orochimaru."

Gensou greeted the man before him, whose soul was divided into countless parts for the sake of survival, with a faint smile.

"Orochimaru?"

The figure's pupils contracted slightly.

'Have I been resurrected from Sasuke's curse mark? What's going on? Did I die? No, I can still sense my main body is alive.'

Orochimaru quickly scanned his surroundings and noticed Izumi and Jin.

The bloodline's scent confirmed they were Uchiha! "Interesting! Very interesting!"

Orochimaru playfully extended his long tongue, licking his lips, and finally looked at Gensou:

"It seems, Gensou-senpai, you've brought me to a very interesting place."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gensou understood the implication.

"I'll send you somewhere even more interesting. We can chat later."

With that, Gensou moved swiftly, grabbing Orochimaru by the neck and pushing him back into the coffin.

Orochimaru, being just a soul fragment, had limited strength. Under Gensou's overwhelming pressure, he could only watch as the coffin lid closed, sealing him with a sealing technique. With everything settled, Gensou looked at Sasuke, who appeared as though recovering from a severe illness, and said, "The curse mark issue is resolved. Remember, true strength comes from within."

Sasuke, still shaken by seeing Orochimaru emerge from his curse mark, nodded vigorously. "Was that Orochimaru just now?" Jin, feeling uneasy from Orochimaru's gaze, twisted his neck, "He didn't seem that impressive."

"That was merely a fragment of Orochimaru's soul," Gensou explained casually.

He hadn't destroyed Orochimaru's soul fragment because, even if he did, it wouldn't affect Orochimaru's main body. It would only reduce one of his many means of resurrection.

Comparatively, Orochimaru was still quite valuable.

Since this fragment couldn't communicate with the main body, Gensou saw no harm in keeping him for future interactions.

After bidding farewell to the three Uchiha, Gensou handled some matters with the Hagoromo clan, checked on Shinno and Seimei-both performing well in their respective roles as a medical instructor and blacksmith-and then focused on resolving his soul restoration issue.

...

Half a year later.

In a desolate land far from the Land of Keys, Gensou stood silently.

Externally, he appeared unchanged from six months ago. Physically, he was twenty-five, at

the peak of his ninja prowess.

However, there was one noticeable difference.

A blue mark resembling the Hagoromo clan emblem had appeared on his forehead, a result of developing his own S-rank medical sealing technique inspired by Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Seal.

The Strength of a Hundred Seal, often misunderstood as a technique exclusive to women due to its "Yin" character, was in fact achievable by anyone with sufficient medical knowledge,

sealing expertise, and most crucially, precise chakra control.

With the vast medical ninjutsu knowledge from Konoha and the combined precision chakra control from Sakura's teachings, Gensou had swiftly developed and perfected this technique. Now, possessing the Strength of a Hundred Seal, he could store vast amounts of chakra for emergencies and maintain his physical prime.

This remarkable enhancement had significantly improved his overall strength, especially in terms of endurance.

But his most significant focus over the past six months had been on studying the Dead Demon

Consuming Seal.

Now, he was ready.

It was time to take the final step and achieve his true peak state.
