《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 134 - Cursed Seal (Narutoverse)
Advertisement
July….
Chuunin Exams Period...
Surveillance Room….
???: Elder, Over here…
Shang follows the ninja who guides him to a room where he sees Hiruzen and Anko.
Hiruzen: Shang, sorry to trouble you at this moment. Could you take a look at this?
Hiruzen points at the Cursed Seal of Heaven (Ten no Juin) which is placed by Orochimaru on the left shoulder of Anko.
Shang: Let me see…
Anko winches in pain when Shang touches it.
Shang: Sorry, try to bear with it for a moment.
Anko nods.
As Shang checks the cursed seal, he recalls the information on Orochimaru’s Juinjutsu.
Shang’s thoughts: A living cursed seal that has a part of Orochimaru’s consciousness. The only way that is known to remove Orochimaru’s Juinjutsu is to use the Totsuka no Tsurugi from Uchiha Clan’s Susanoo. It is an ethereal weapon where its blade is the liquid that pours out from the gourd. Anything which is stabbed by the blade could be drawn into the gourd and trapped in an illusory world for eternity.
Hiruzen: How is it? Can your acupuncture do something about it?
Hiruzen asks with concern as he had personally seen how Shang’s acupuncture prevent cursed seals from activating.
Shang: I don’t think my needles can do any good… However…
Shang’s thoughts: Hiruzen must have thought it was my acupuncture method can deactivate cursed seals. That was not true. I only replaced the cursed seal’s resonating chakra with my own. My method will not work on Orochimaru’s cursed seals as it also has the ability to convert any chakra into Orochimaru's senjutsu chakra.
Shang shakes his head and taps Anko’s pressure points around the cursed seals with his fingers.
Anko: Eh? The pain is gone.
Anko touches the back of the shoulder.
Shang: You will not feel pain temporarily for an hour or two. That’s all I can do.

Hiruzen: This cursed seal is different from the others you have seen?
Hiruzen questions.
Shang nods with confirmation.
Hiruzen: I see… Anko, continue the exam as planned. We will keep a lookout for Orochimaru. Shang, follow me outside. We need to talk.
Hiruzen walks out of the room, followed by Shang.
Hiruzen: Shang, about Orochimaru’s actions, what do you think of them?
After a few hundred steps from the Surveillance Room, Hiruzen starts to speak up.
Shang: You mean his actions of branding Anko with a cursed seal?
Hiruzen: Not only Anko. Uchiha Sasuke was branded by Orochimaru with the same cursed seal.
Shang: Sasuke too!? Hmm.…
Hiruzen: Any ideas?
Shang: Orochimaru’s actions do not tell me much but the cursed seal…
Hiruzen: What of his cursed seal?
Shang: Unlike other cursed seals I have seen, this one seems to have a life of its own.
Hiruzen: A cursed seal that is alive…. What are the consequences if we try to remove it by force?
Shang’s thoughts: Removing them is not a problem. The real problem is separating the branded user chakra from Orochimaru's senjutsu chakra. Plus, I am not sure if the cursed seal would re-brand itself once it is removed.
Shang: Since it has a life of its own, there is a high chance it would reappear after being removed.
Hiruzen sighs after hearing it from Shang.
Hiruzen: ….then we will have no choice but to use the Evil Sealing Method.
Hiruzen then walks off without Shang following.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
