Chapter 116 Cursed Seal: Personality Reshaping

Ning Yuan had no idea that Hiruzen Sarutobi had also set his sights on this lucrative path. After all, even though the original story had progressed to the movie era, no ninjas had actually made movies, had they?

He forgot to factor in Hiruzen Sarutobi's conservative estimate.

He certainly wouldn't do anything that no ninja had ever done, but since Ning Yuan had already succeeded in pursuing the path of song and dance, he was naturally willing to give it a try.

It was Monday again, and Ning Yuan went to class as usual, while also discussing how to expand the organization.

To expand an organization, the normal approach is to recruit people from all over, but even if you include all the ninjas in Konoha, you still won't have enough people!

Furthermore, Orochimaru is currently focused on scientific research, and there isn't anyone capable of taking charge of personnel matters.

"Yakushi Nonou?" Ning Yuan thought of someone.

This orphanage director has quite a lot of free time, and he travels all over the ninja world, but that's for the future.

Judging by the time, this person is only 15 years old now. I wonder if he has become the director of an orphanage yet.

Ningyuan wrote down the name and planned to look for it after school today.

Then, the second approach is to address the talent shortage through technological means.

This technique is certainly not cloning, as cloning technology cannot be developed in the short term.

Ning Yuan envisioned a cursed seal.

Controlling people through cursed seals is like how Madara Uchiha controlled the Fourth Mizukage.

The ninja world lacks everything, but it has no shortage of bandits and outlaws.

Rather than killing these people directly and wasting their lives, it would be better to control them with curse marks and then make them devote themselves to the Ning organization until their dying breath.

So, how do we control it?

Ning Yuan entered the Arcane Pen Hall, where he showed Hong the TV series "Investiture of the Gods" while simultaneously reviewing his past life's knowledge related to neurology.

The brain is composed of several parts, including the forebrain, hindbrain, and hypothalamus, each with different functions.

"How come there's so little?" Ning Yuan flipped through the pages and realized that the amount of information he had seen related to the brain in his previous life was pitifully small.

This is normal, after all, he studied electronics in his previous life, not neuroscience.

He was quite familiar with the pineal gland and hypothalamus, because these two always appeared in novels, supposedly related to the human body's third eye and superpowers.

The hypothalamus, on the other hand, controls the secretion of many hormones, such as growth hormone.

"Prefrontal lobe!" Ning Yuan suddenly discovered a new term, and his eyes lit up.

I learned about the prefrontal cortex from numerous news reports, in which some people used prefrontal lobe removal surgery to treat internet addiction or mental illness.

But after the prefrontal cortex was removed, the internet addiction was gone, but the person also lost all desire.

Because the prefrontal cortex is responsible for setting goals, if the prefrontal cortex is gone, a person will have no goals in life.

In addition, it also has functions of anticipation, rule learning, logical reasoning, flipped learning, and adaptation. Some studies even suggest that the prefrontal cortex is related to honesty.

People with damage to the prefrontal cortex are more likely to lie for personal gain.

"Isn't the planning goal exactly what I want? If I set him a goal of 'striving for the rise of humanity for the rest of his life,' then even the most heinous bandit can be transformed into a saint."

The goal is clear: to control the prefrontal cortex.

With the technology available, the curse seal can be inserted into a person's brain, simply by changing the location to the prefrontal cortex.

However, after insertion into the prefrontal cortex, how can the curse mark be made effective and implanted into the target?

Under normal circumstances, this requires a large number of experimental subjects, a lot of time, and a lot of adjustments. It is not impossible to spend one or two years, or even five or ten years on this.

But Ning Yuan doesn't need that long; he's cheating!

Activating his Byakugan, Ning Yuan adjusted his gaze, observing himself, Kurenai Yuhi, Kakashi, and the brains of everyone in the class from multiple angles, gaining a deeper understanding of the structure of the prefrontal cortex.

After school at noon, the two were supposed to go to the rooftop for lunch, but perhaps because they started the trend, many couples now like to eat on the rooftop.

So the two went to the grove instead. While eating, Ning Yuan casually grabbed a rabbit, played with it for a while, and then threw it away.

When I returned to the classroom, a new skill had appeared on the system panel.

Curse Seal - Thought Seal LV1 (1/10).

He didn't know how to use sealing techniques to control the prefrontal cortex, but brainwashing was a simple thing. You just need to keep repeating the same thing in someone's ear, and a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.

Ning Yuan's actions towards the rabbit were quite simple: first, he implanted a cursed seal, then changed the rabbit's chakra attribute to lightning, and then stimulated it when it jumped forward.

Thus, the rabbit would feel a headache every time it jumped forward, but it wouldn't have this problem when it jumped backward or ran to the left or right.

The rabbit was confused, but after a few times it accepted the idea that "jumping forward will give you a headache".

Next, it stopped walking in a straight line and started walking sideways.

This was a very simple act of discipline and training, but it could also be said that Ning Yuan implanted a mental imprint in the rabbit: that moving forward would cause a headache.

It makes sense logically, anyway.

Since it makes logical sense, the system will recognize it, and the skill will naturally be registered in the system.

After that, all Ning Yuan needs to do is upgrade his skills.

Once the skill level is increased, the cursed mark will naturally evolve into a true imprint of thought, rather than a simple punishment or taming.

but

"The skill requirements for this upgrade are so few!" Ning Yuan was somewhat taken aback.

1到2级只需要10点经验，2到3需要20点，3到4需要40点，4到5需要80点！

Ning Yuan invested a total of 150 general experience points, and the curse mark actually leveled up to level 5 and gained a special characteristic!

"Is it because the thought imprint is too simple?" Ning Yuan was surprised, but not astonished.

This is not the first time this has happened.

Previously, when he learned the techniques of clone, substitution, and transformation, and after activating the illusion technique of five senses interference, he learned the same illusion technique.

The reason for this is that Ning Yuan's chakra reserves and chakra manipulation have reached a certain level. Even without a system, learning these skills would be a piece of cake. So there's no reason why upgrading a super simple skill would require a lot of experience.

It's obvious that the sealing technique required for the Thought Imprint is not complicated. Ning Yuan's sealing technique level is already high enough, and the designed spell seal is sufficient, which is why the experience required to upgrade the Thought Imprint is so little.

Cursed Seal - Thought Seal Characteristics: [Calling a Deer a Horse]

【Calling a deer a horse】: It is clearly a deer, but you insist on calling it a horse. Your mindset has reached the point where it can distort common sense and values. Even if you tell the other person that ice is hot and fire is like water, they will believe it.

"That's enough!" Ning Yuan nodded. The current mental imprint is almost the same as the one in The Three-Body Problem. It's enough to brainwash bandits and establish their values.

But this is not enough to solve the talent shortage problem, because the vast majority of bandits and outlaws are illiterate and speak the language of the ninja world.

Having willpower but lacking knowledge, and speaking in a language that isn't even one's own, naturally renders one useless.

Ning Yuan wanted to achieve the goal in one step: to teach them Chinese, give them basic teaching skills, and in terms of strength, to have them master basic illusion techniques, physical techniques, ninjutsu, and the Three Body Techniques.

They don't need to be able to fight Jonin, but they should at least have the strength of Genin, be able to deal with local thugs and gangsters, and be able to deal with bandits and outlaws on the road.

He is still missing the skill of knowledge transfer.

This skill, as it exists in the ninja world, is the method of Ninjutsu, and this method is in the hands of the Nine-Tails.

However, Ning Yuan could not exchange memories with the Nine-Tailed Fox because he was a time traveler.

Then we need to change our approach.

"I can even create a thought imprint; is memory transfer that difficult?"

Ning Yuan thought for a moment, then tapped his head.

Memory transfer is actually not difficult.

The Curse Seal: Synesthesia is used to create false memories. Aren't false memories just a form of memory transmission?

The only problem is that this false memory is created very slowly, only one hour's worth of memory can be created in an hour, while Ning Yuan wants to infuse ten or even twenty years' worth of memories into it in an instant.

Ning Yuan remotely controlled the rabbit in the forest, withdrawing six of the ten spells related to smell, taste, and touch, leaving only sight and hearing.

Most of human memory is constructed from visual and auditory information.

As for smell and taste.

It's not that it's unimportant, but it's hard for you to recall what a meal you ate ten years ago tasted like.

Then, Ningyuan sent over a music video called "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style".

He didn't expect the rabbit to remember much; he only hoped that the "Memory Transfer" skill would appear on the panel.

"Ding!"

As the system's crisp notification sound rang out, Ning Yuan's lips curled into a smile.

Sure enough, it appeared!

Cursed Seal - Memory Transfer!

Like the Cursed Seal: Thought Seal, the memory required for the memory transfer upgrade is also minimal.

150 points, upgrade!

Feature appears!

Curse Seal - Memory Transfer Characteristics: Ultimate Compression

【Ultimate Compression】: Allows for the transfer of large amounts of memory in an extremely short time without damaging brain neurons.

Ning Yuan smiled slightly. With the combination of thought imprint and memory transmission, the problem of insufficient manpower could be solved.

Moreover, the incantation has ten incantations, and only four are needed for memory transfer. The remaining six can be used for thought imprinting, which is just right.

But this is still not perfect!

Ning Yuan opened the talent: Skill Fusion, and then selected Curse Seal: Thought Imprint and Curse Seal: Memory Transfer.

Cursed Seal: Mind Imprint + Cursed Seal: Memory Transfer = Cursed Seal: Personality Reshaping!

The latest panel shows the font color corresponding to the skill quality, followed by the traits.

Yellow < Green < Blue < Red < Pink < Purple

The Three-Body Technique is a combination of the Three-Body Technique, and the Mechanical Technique is a combination of Carpentry and Trap Techniques. Because it's not very important, it wasn't included in the story.
