Red sand dust

For a remote island far away from the mainland and actually separated from mainstream society, the so-called New Year does not bring much joy to the people at the southern base.

Especially for Uchiha Sasuke, there was no point in it except to remind himself that one more year had passed since he failed to seek revenge.

It was late at night. After sitting in meditation and daily practice of refining chakra, and calming down the body that was a little out of control due to the stimulation of cell vitality, the quiet young man was about to take a nap when he vaguely heard bursts of miserable howls.

Uchiha Sasuke, who was feeling a little bored, picked up the Kusanagi sword beside him and put it on his waist, heading towards the direction where the sound came from.

A few minutes later, standing outside the iron bars, looking at the gloomy room, the strong blond Deidara, whose hands were tied by iron chains, was struggling violently.

During the day, Uchiha Sasuke also had a fierce fight with Deidara. The revengeful boy who was in good condition had a rare draw with the explosive ninja. Although he fell to the ground unable to move due to exhaustion of chakra and physical strength, Deidara was also cut with several deep wounds by the Kusanagi sword, and his skin was full of traces of being burned by the Thunderbolt.

At this moment, the slightly injured blond boy reacted more violently than when he was unconscious due to excessive blood loss during the day.

Inspired by the curse seal, the originally flowing blond hair grew extremely long, and the ends showed an ominous gray-black color. The spine became more curved, and fang-like bone spurs grew on both shoulders.

Not only that, the mouth with tongues stuck out from the palms of the hands to refine the explosive clay for Deidara was full of sharp teeth, and the fingers became slender, dancing like tentacles for hunting.

At the heart of the left chest, the large mouth used to swallow a huge amount of explosive clay and self-destruct directly evolved into a blurry human face with eyes closed.

"What's up with him?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked Yakushi Kabuto who was observing and trying to suppress him.

"The curse seal broke out, but...it's a little strange, we are dealing with it!"

"It's best not to affect tomorrow's practice!"

"It's hard to say!"

Kabuto Yakushi habitually lifted the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose, with a curious smile on his face.

"The curse seal is a magical secret technique that is born out of immortal magic and uses natural energy to stimulate the body's potential, but..."

Some of these mysteries, not to mention Yakushi Kabuto, even Orochimaru may not be completely clear about. These things have different reactions in different people, especially the Curse Seal of the Sky. Even Orochimaru may not be able to give it to Dida. What kind of changes does pulling bring?

"It may be that some hidden bloodlines are stimulated, or it is a rejection reaction that breaks the bloodline limit..."

After raising his hand and injecting several large syringes of sedative into Deidara, the mutated boy who couldn't stop wailing finally stopped, but the instinctive reaction in the body did not stop. The muscles in the whole body continued to shake, the body temperature rose sharply, and part of the skin was burned. The redness fell off, revealing bright red muscles and peristaltic blood vessels. Then the skin quickly recovered and was damaged again, repeating the cycle.

After a few minutes, the skin all over his body became tougher, and Deidara, who was covered with strange light golden lines, finally stopped. The violent curse seals restrained because he exhausted his chakra, but the lines on his body only became more blurred. .

"What's this?"

The pharmacist casually took out the scalpel from his ninja bag and stabbed it, but it didn't cut the skin. With a little force, the bright red blood flowed out.

"Good guy, natural defense is comparable to carefully tanned leather armor. This is the physical strength of a strong man who is proficient in earth escape."

Deidara's blood inheritance limit itself was born out of earth escape. There are few ninjas in Iwagakure Village who are not good at earth escape, but there are also a few like Deidara.

Chakra and the body are complementary and mutually reinforcing. Earth ninjas are stronger physically, water ninjas have more advantages in vitality and endurance, and thunder ninjas have excellent reflexes. Although it is not absolute, the overall trend is still obvious. of.

In a situation like Deidara's, talent is only one of them, and it requires years of practice to change the nature of chakra to slowly become what it is now.

What surprised Yakushi Kabuto even more was that the dense lines like pine flowers seemed to have solidified the natural earth escape defense effect, preventing even the sharp scalpel from breaking through it.

"In other words, this guy has become more powerful?"

Uchiha Sasuke, who has no interest in the so-called "mutation", is now only concerned about how to improve his strength as soon as possible. It is indeed good news that his "sparring partner" has become stronger.

"If you insist on saying that, you're right!"

Kabuto Yakushi nodded, straightened Deidara's body, put his fingers on his vest, and felt the vitality flowing through his body along with the blood.

"It's not like external interference, it's more like the original talent has been stimulated. It's probably the deep fusion of curse seal and bloodline. This is the first time this has happened among so many experimental subjects. This guy's bloodline potential is astonishing. , even comparable to Chongwu, with a natural immortal body..."

"Cure him as soon as possible!"

He didn't quite understand what Kabuto Yakushi said with a slightly fanatical tone, but those were not important. Things that were beneficial to his revenge were all good news.

"You don't need to tell me, I can do it. This is a rare material!"

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Uchiha Sasuke turned and left. Since he was awake and not too sleepy, he might as well go out to practice swordsmanship and move his body.

Watching Uchiha Sasuke leave, he checked the pharmacist's pocket on Deidara's body again. He guessed that there was nothing wrong, so he took some blood samples and went straight to the laboratory. Passionate scientists will not hesitate to explore the unknown. hold up.

A few minutes later, the blond boy, who was sitting on the ground with his head drooped, slowly raised his head. His originally numb face revealed a look that was absolutely impossible to appear in a brain that had been destroyed by drugs and illusions. The curious and thoughtful look that a "mentally retarded" person should have.

At the same time, the pale golden lines on Deidara's body began to glow, pulling the muscles all over his body to move. Unfortunately, the boy who was restrained on his wrists and unable to move could only struggle slightly.

After several attempts, it seemed that all his strength was exhausted, his spirit disappeared within his body, and the blond boy returned to the stupid and stupid person who only had his instincts left.

At the same time, in another underground room dozens of meters away, on a stone bed that had a little bit of the atmosphere of a girl's life, Xianglin hugged a pillow and talked in her sleep, with a little drool dripping from the corner of her mouth. She didn't notice at all that there was something in her body. The tissue that was originally dormant in its heart was stimulated by the homologous power nearby and turned into pure chakra, scattered everywhere through the meridians...
