Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Otsutsuki's First Style Curse Seal
At this moment, Losca stared at Reiki with a wary expression.
Danger!
The information they had gathered before was still far too limited. If Losca hadn't witnessed Reiki's battle firsthand, he wouldn't have believed it.
Such a young man had actually managed to kill Kabu! And it wasn't just any kill—it was an instant kill.
"Can we talk now?" Reiki asked, his tone calm yet assertive. "You came to me. Is there something you want?"
Reiki slowly sat down, a smile playing on his lips as he faced Losca. As long as this guy didn't attack, there was room for dialogue.
With a casual motion, Reiki placed his hand on Kabu's body, both hands subtly releasing chakra. Quietly, he infiltrated Kabu's soul, attempting to extract information about the Jue Organization.
After all, the organization now was vastly different from what it would become in the future. Even its members were not the same.
But just as Reiki began his invasion, an unexpected force erupted.
"Pfft…" A strange energy burst forth, shattering Kabu's soul instantly.
"Wow, so ruthless…" Reiki muttered. "Otsutsuki Ishiki, I see you didn't want your secrets slipping out."
He sighed internally. It was clear Ishiki's spell specifically targeted the soul, ensuring no information could be retrieved.
The Interrogation
"What do you want to talk about?" Losca asked warily. "I was just following the leader's orders. I don't know their purpose."
Losca was in no mood to fight Reiki. He had already witnessed Kabu's swift defeat—what chance did he stand alone?
"Don't know?" Reiki teased. "Senior combat members of the Jue Organization shouldn't be so clueless."
"How do you know that?!" Losca's shocked expression betrayed him. The Jue Organization had always operated in the shadows. They struck swiftly, leaving no trace behind. How could this young man know about their existence?
"Ah, Black Zetsu was spot on. In the ninja world, those who strike out and leave no trail are people from the Jue Organization," Reiki remarked. "Is your leader interested in me?"
Before Losca could respond, Reiki appeared before him, gripping his wrist. A surge of physical strength coursed through him as he tightened his grip.
"You…" Losca struggled but quickly froze. Instead of attacking, Reiki's chakra flowed into him, healing his body. Confused, Losca stopped resisting.
"This guy… is healing me?" Losca thought, utterly baffled.
"Ah, so there is a curse mark in your body," Reiki observed, pulling out a scroll and writing down his findings. He refrained from speaking aloud, wary that the curse mark might transmit information. The chakra-infused writing, however, would not raise suspicions.
Losca's heart sank. The curse mark, bestowed by Otsutsuki Ishiki, granted him immense power but bound him as a puppet. Over time, his ideals had shifted. The constraints Ishiki imposed outweighed the benefits.
"Do you want it removed?" Reiki wrote again.
Losca hesitated but eventually nodded. "If you can…"
Reiki smiled. "If you're willing, then let's do this."
Removing the Curse Mark
"ROOM: Slaughterhouse!" Reiki's voice resonated as he activated the power of his surgical ability, enveloping the area. His hand pressed against Losca's head, and the next moment, a piece of brain tissue marked with the curse seal appeared in Reiki's palm.
"This…" Losca felt an immediate sense of relief but couldn't ignore the bizarre sight of someone holding part of his brain. "The physical relief is undeniable, but this feels… unsettling."
"The primary issue isn't physical—it's the curse mark," Reiki explained. "Take a seat. I'll study it."
Reiki carefully examined the curse mark, aware of its complexity. Even the remnants of Otsutsuki Hagoromo's seals were formidable; Ishiki's work would be even more advanced. Reiki summoned a shadow clone to experiment with the mark, minimizing his own risk.
After repeated attempts, Reiki concluded that the curse mark was intertwined with Yin-Yang Release. This power wasn't something Kabu or Losca had mastered—it had been granted through the mark.
"Do you really want it destroyed?" Reiki asked. "Breaking it might strip you of the strength you've gained."
Losca's eyes hardened. "I have nothing left to lose. Break it. If I can be free, that's all I want."
Reiki nodded. "Alright, but in return, you'd better give me some valuable information."
He opened his system panel. "System, purchase the Spring of Purification."
Although Reiki could likely remove the mark with his surgical abilities, he didn't want to risk any lingering influence from Ishiki. The system's purification medicine was a safer choice.
[Ding! The Spring of Purification has been successfully purchased. 500 medical points deducted.]
A vial of shimmering, pure liquid appeared in Reiki's hand. He handed it to Losca. "Drink this."
Losca hesitated, examining the potion. "A potion? Will this really work against a curse mark?"
Reiki smirked. "If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have gone through all this effort."
Reluctantly, Losca drank the potion. A warmth spread through his body, eroding the lingering traces of Ishiki's curse. For the first time in years, he felt unburdened.
"I'm… free?" Losca whispered, tears welling in his eyes.
Reiki nodded, watching the remnants of the curse dissolve. "Now, tell me everything you know about the Jue Organization."
