Cursed Seal of Heaven (Level 2)

Cursed Seal of Heaven, second level - the highest stage of Orochimaru's forbidden mark, which completely changes the bearer's body. The skin becomes dark gray, the hair grows out and takes on a dark blue tint, and the eyes darken. Webbed clawed wings appear on the back, allowing flight and gliding, and a dark star-shaped mark appears on the bridge of the nose. If the bearer loses a limb, they are able to replace it with a snake.

At this level, the drawbacks of the first stage disappear: the pain upon activation and the brief inability to move after use. Physical parameters increase so much that they are comparable to jinchūriki forms version 1. Chakra reserves also increase greatly, and the user's techniques become even stronger. An experienced bearer can limit the transformation to individual parts of the body.
