Chapter 165: What if I could undo the "Caged Bird Curse Seal"?

Inside Kiyoshi's tent.

"It's already at 99%."

Kiyoshi felt anticipation in his heart.

As long as there were enough blue entries, he would definitely be able to trigger the synthesis route for purple entries.

These entries were all permanent stat bonuses, the more the better.

"Kiyoshi..."

A familiar voice came from outside.

Kiyoshi closed the entry panel, lifted the curtain, and saw Hinata Natsu.

Kiyoshi stood at the doorway, scanning Hinata Natsu up and down.

Beneath Hinata Natsu's short skirt were smooth legs, almost without any visible hair; touching them would definitely feel slippery.

And her face also showed signs of careful washing, her dark green short hair draped over her shoulders.

She looked youthful and beautiful.

Especially the timid look unconsciously revealed in her eyes, perfectly fitting Hinata Natsu's identity as a pitiful little maid.

"Please come in."

Hinata Natsu felt uneasy under Kiyoshi's gaze.

Only when Kiyoshi nodded in satisfaction and made a gesture of invitation did Hinata Natsu gently hum in acknowledgment and follow him inside.

The space inside the tent was not large; besides a small bed and a simple table, and a box for clothes, there was nothing else.

Clean, tidy.

This was Hinata Natsu's first reaction.

Hinata Natsu was slightly surprised by Kiyoshi's diligence.

She remembered that although Kiyoshi's house used to be old, it was very clean.

Now that they were here, Kiyoshi could still maintain such a habit.

She knew that under the pressure of war, her tent was somewhat messy, and she didn't have the extra energy to clean it up.

Kiyoshi sat on the edge of the bed and motioned for Hinata Natsu to sit on the only stool by the table.

"There's no tea here to treat you."

"It's okay."

Hinata Natsu waved her hands repeatedly.

This was a war, after all; there weren't so many formalities.

"Is Hinata Natsu-san coming alone again? Does Madam Ginka look down on me?"

Kiyoshi looked at Hinata Natsu with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, a trace of panic appeared on Hinata Natsu's small face, and she explained:

"That's not it; it's just that Madam Ginka's identity is not very convenient."

Her relationship with Kiyoshi was that of classmates, and it was normal for them to visit each other.

Hinata Ginka and Kiyoshi had nothing to do with each other, and rash contact would attract the attention of others.

"Heh heh..."

Kiyoshi laughed.

When she was talking without restraint before, why didn't she think about her inconvenient identity?

He would keep this secret for life!

Of course, relying solely on this to continue deepening his relationship with Hinata Ginka was still too superficial.

He needed more impetus.

The time for that was not far off.

"Kiyoshi, what I said is all true."

Seeing that Kiyoshi was silent and only laughing, Hinata Natsu felt uneasy.

If things fell through here, Hinata Ginka would definitely punish her.

Not only that, but if Hinata Ginka's affairs were exposed, the people in the clan would think she was an accomplice!

From the moment she became a servant to Hinata Ginka, Hinata Natsu had no right to choose.

The most education she had received since she was a child was how to be a good branch family member.

"Kiyoshi-kun, I'm really different this time."

"Different, huh..."

Kiyoshi deliberately emphasized the word "different".

The Hinata clan had also taught her standing etiquette, which was nothing more than holding her head high, chest out, abdomen in, and looking straight ahead.

But now, the standards of these etiquettes made Hinata Natsu feel ashamed.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, it was just an ordinary short skirt, but in the Hinata clan, it was a catastrophic event.

In recent years, the clan's conservative dress had gradually moved closer to the outside world; if she wanted to freely wear short skirts in the clan, it would take at least ten years to slowly change their views.

Now, if the older generation of the Hinata clan saw this skirt, they would definitely scold her bloody, scolding her for being shameless.

"Hinata Natsu-san, I'm not that kind of person."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

Hinata Natsu's eyes widened.

Not that kind of person, but he was still looking at the scenery earlier?

"Actually, there's no need for Hinata Natsu-san to be like this."

Kiyoshi slowly approached Hinata Natsu.

She watched Kiyoshi reach out his hand, subconsciously pursing her lips and closing her eyes tightly.

However, after waiting for a while, nothing happened.

Hinata Natsu opened a slight gap in her eyes, secretly looking at Kiyoshi.

She saw Kiyoshi's hand reach behind her head and take off the ninja headband on her forehead.

"You're bound by Hinata Ginka's orders, aren't you?"

Kiyoshi said calmly.

Looking at the ugly pattern of the curse seal, Kiyoshi gently touched it.

Hinata Natsu's heart tightened; did Kiyoshi have such a fetish?

Kiyoshi's fingertips glowed with a faint black light; this was "Dark Healing Ninjutsu".

A cool sensation entered Hinata Natsu's forehead, and then she felt an invisible curse seal restricting her brain and eyes.

Once the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" was triggered, this curse seal would immediately destroy the person's brain and eyeballs.

However, the next moment, Hinata Natsu's eyes suddenly widened!

She felt her brain suddenly become very clear, but then the curse seal shook, and a stinging pain appeared.

The curse seal... was triggered!

Hinata Natsu couldn't understand why Kiyoshi wanted to kill her.

But once the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" was activated, without exception, everyone died!

Hinata Natsu trembled, waiting for her fate of death.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Hinata Natsu waited for a long time; apart from the stinging pain in her brain just now, there was no other reaction.

"The so-called curse seal is actually just a special type of technique."

Kiyoshi lowered his hand.

He currently didn't have the ability to directly解除 (jiěchú - remove/undo) the "Caged Bird Curse Seal". Previously, he had temporarily increased the brain cell recovery power at the cost of damaging Hinata Natsu's vitality. At the same time, using his precise chakra control ability and the sealing techniques he had learned, he found a place to partially separate it and provoke a portion of the curse seal.

This portion of the curse seal would directly destroy this portion of Hinata Natsu's brain cells. If he hadn't increased her recovery power, she would have probably died on the spot.

This was also an application of the power of the Mōryō, coupled with "Dark Healing Ninjutsu".

Since it was difficult to undo, then he would just let the curse seal trigger. Anyway, it was destruction, he would just destroy and repair at the same time.

And after the power of the curse seal was exhausted, it would naturally disappear, indirectly解除 (jiěchú - remove/undo) the "Caged Bird Curse Seal".

"You... you... just now, you put my 'Caged Bird Curse Seal' through..."

Hinata Natsu was so shocked that she almost couldn't speak.

The absolutely irresistible "Caged Bird Curse Seal" was now showing a trace of loosening.

"Surprised, aren't you?"

Kiyoshi smiled.

Vitality and lifespan were linked; since he was using his life force, how could the effect be bad?

However, if he continued, even if he could undo it, Hinata Natsu would die because her vitality would be drained.

Unless he improved later.

"If I said I could grant you freedom, what would you do?"

Kiyoshi looked at Hinata Natsu.
