Chapter 102 Slugs, Snakes and Immortality (Part 2)
Even though it was just the rays of the setting sun, it was still very uncomfortable for Hidan who had been kept in a box.
"Move away! Move away! I'm going to go blind!"
Hidan, who had breathed fresh air again, did not immediately answer Giyuu's pressing questions, but instead winked, staggered and complained.
Yiyong stared at him quietly for a while and found that the sunlight did not cause any further damage to this guy.
【This shows that he is not a ghost.】
On the contrary - even in the sunlight, the wound on Hidan's neck was still slowly healing at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye but still a hundred times faster than that of an ordinary ninja.
Give him a year or two and maybe he can grow a new body.
【I hope it really has nothing to do with that guy.】
Yiyong changed direction and put his head in the shadow with his silver ponytail, and then the latter fully opened his eyes.
The moment he saw Yiyong's face, his face painted with black and white oil paint immediately became ferocious: "You damn brat! If you hadn't interrupted my ceremony, how could I have been eaten by a shark?! Damn it!
! This was my first time using that ritual. Before I could show the power that Lord Evil God had given me, it was ruined by you, you bastard!
"Why did you do that?! Uncle, I got the blood from that shark face, what does it have to do with you?!
"I hate it! I hate it so much! I wish I could bite you to death, you little bastard!"
【He also talks a lot...】
While Giyuu was complaining silently, he remembered the blood-colored circular pattern that Hidan had not finished painting on the roof opposite him last night.
Since in his previous life in Mugen City, Yiyu was severely beaten in a duel with the third string, Yiwozao, he was very sensitive to any strange patterns appearing under the enemy's feet——
In addition, Hidan was still alive after his lungs were stabbed by his sword, and he had the characteristics of a ghost. Giyuu was worried that he was brewing some terrible vampire technique, so he didn't wait for the former to complete the ritual and directly destroyed his feet with water escape.
The houses were erased along with the unfinished patterns.
Although I don’t know what the purpose of that ritual is, judging from the current results, Yiyong did the right thing.
"Without further ado."
Giyuu walked to the side of the ship holding Hidan's head, not being affected by his verbal attacks at all.
"Answer the question. Otherwise, a dangerous guy like you would have no need to live."
As he spoke, Yiyong gently shook his head in his hand. A few drops of blood fell from the wound on the latter's neck, and a pool of red rippled on the sea surface.
Hidan glanced down, and there was a sudden rush of cold air above his head——
Several spindle-shaped shadows were repeatedly circling the place where the blood had just fallen, resembling the creature he hated second in the world - sharks.
Of course, the first is volunteerism.
"The evil god will definitely punish you! You damn brat!"
Hidan yelled loudly at first, but when Giyuu seemed to show signs of letting go, he immediately said aggrievedly: "I'm already like this, why don't I just complain?!"
"Last chance." Yiyong said calmly.
Hidan glanced down and saw that several shark fins had surfaced and were chasing the side of the sailboat along with the dripping blood.
"I said! I said it's not okay?! However, since you dare to ask about Lord Evil God, you should be prepared to be cursed to death! By then you will definitely die without any body parts, and it will be even worse than me now!"
The next moment, his eyes were spinning, and he was roughly thrown back into the box by Yiyong.
The sun set further and the sky became darker again.
"Let's talk about it first. What's going on with your immortality?"
Giyuu got straight to the point and directly asked the question that could not be answered in Yunin Village.
The evil cultists in Tangren Village were so crazy that he couldn't ask anything.
As for the ninjas in that village, they were either unclear or deliberately avoided, in short, they kept it secret.
Only Hidan can be called the breakthrough.
"It's very simple. We express our loyalty to Lord Evil God, but I am the only one who has won his favor."
Hidan was quite proud when talking about the glorious past, "The remaining dozen competitors have all become sacrifices! I advise you to treat me well, otherwise you will not be able to escape the punishment of the evil god!"
"Be specific. When, where, what was done? Who else was involved?"
Giyuu leaned down, his dull eyes seemed to be able to see through people, which made Hidan feel a little hairy.
"That was three or four years ago. Several elders from the Evil God Cult gathered the youngest of us together and asked us to donate our hearts to Lord Evil God."
Yiyong frowned: "Giving your heart? Literally?"
"Just lying in the altar and letting the elders dig the heart out of the body, don't you understand?"
Hidan was describing a horrifying scene, but his expression seemed like he was talking about something very ordinary.
"At that time, except for me..., everyone else was very reluctant, but they were weak and couldn't resist. The result was that they all died after being sacrificed. Only I came back to life after my death and became a sacrifice.
I am the only one in the class who has gained divine power! Everyone knelt down and worshiped me, and the elders also gave my heart back..."
"You said you saw the evil god, was it that time?" Yiyong asked.
"No, no, no!" Hidan raised the corner of his mouth and boasted with a proud look on his face: "That's just because I was chosen by Lord Evil God! It was only later that I actually met him! It was at that time that I realized the greatness of Lord Evil God.
place!
"At that time, those stupid and old leaders of the cult were too hasty and launched a rebellion before I was given real power. As a result, I was captured alive by Tang Ninja. Those bastards tried many methods but failed to kill me, so they thought of simply
Starve me to death! Leave me to die in an unattended dungeon, as if I don’t exist at all!”
Hidan suddenly became furious: "From that moment on, I swore that if I could regain my freedom, I would cut down all the things they were eating! However, thanks to them seeming to have forgotten my existence, the lurking cultists were able to successfully kill them.
I was rescued. They put me in the magic circle in the Evil Temple, saying that only in this way can I gain real power... But these idiots actually forgot to bring me some food! They put me in a trap again
People stay in that place!”
Yiyong: "..."
Ghost Lantern Shuiyue and Ranwan came to watch the excitement: "..."
Why does this evil cult sound so unreliable from top to bottom?
"But later I learned that to gain power, I had to die again."
Hidan saw that he had a few more listeners, and the enthusiasm in his eyes became more intense, like two dark flames filled with kerosene.
"This time I starved to death! But I finally went to the world where the evil god lives!
"It was an extremely hot, dark place full of screams and sounds of physical destruction. Just staying there for a while, I knew that was the right place for me to live! That must be where the hell the monk said was! Everyone ate each other.
, killing each other, non-stop, non-stop! That’s where I really belong!”
Hearing this, Kiden Suigetsu moved and hid behind Ranmaru, who was looking nervous. Only Giyuu still kept a straight face.
"I admired the screams and torture, and continued down the stairs to the deepest point I could reach. That's where I finally saw the appearance of Lord Evil God! Although he was not his true form, I still looked
Clear his outline..."
Hidan's voice reached an extremely high pitch, and he was convinced of his words.
"The Evil God looks like a crimson human-shaped smoke, but the seven hearts and five brains in his body are very clear and can continue to flow in that smoke-like body."
[This description...]
When Yiyong heard this, his vigilance increased to the extreme, "What is he doing there?"
"Of course he is nurturing his followers!"
Hidan was moved to tears, "I saw countless smaller humanoid smokes rushing towards him, tearing off part of his body with their mouths and fangs, and then disappeared without a trace! The evil god would scream in pain, but next time
For a moment, the missing part will return to its original state, and then it will continue to be bitten by the newly coming villains! I finally understood at that time that those of us gain immortality not without cost, but with the help of the evil god.
Yan's sacrifice was realized! At that time, I decided that if I could be resurrected, I would kill as many people as I could to repay him."
"..." Yiyong felt an ominous premonition in his heart, "What did you do?"
At this time, the sun completely set and the sky turned completely blue-black.
"Of course the same is true for my other followers."
Hidan grinned, but his smile was ten times scarier than Suigetsu's mouth full of sharp teeth.
"I bit him. And I was lucky. What I bit off was the heart of Lord Evil God!"
The black clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, and the crescent moon on the sea suddenly shone on Hidan's head, making the black and white face look particularly scary.
However, Giyuu noticed - Hidan's recovery speed under the moonlight was faster than before, more than ten times faster!
Even the neurotic Kiden Suigetsu noticed the clues and pointed at Hidan's neck with blood vessels growing out and shouted: "This guy is recovering again!"
"This is the real power given to me by Lord Evil God! My recovery speed is faster than before!"
Hidan burst into tears facing the moonlight, "Ever since I woke up after eating that heart, I can survive without eating or breathing! In addition, Lord Evil God also gave me a spell that can deflect damage, that
The handsome death scythe and black spear are also generous gifts from the evil god!"
Having said this, he looked at Yiyong hatefully, and the fanatical flames in his eyes seemed to be about to burst out, burning up Yiyong.
"But you! It's all because of you! I can't repay Lord Evil God's kindness at all! Curse you! Curse you! Curse you! Look at your face now, you are already scared, right?! You are already
Are you afraid of your own death, right? Hahaha! Hahahaha! Hahahahaha——"
Hidan couldn't say any more.
Because Giyuu took out a roll of towel from the scroll and stuffed it into Hidan's mouth, blocking his crazy voice.
There was no moon in Yunin Village last night due to the storm, and Hidan was already crazy enough at that time.
But he didn't expect that under the moonlight, his madness could go further.
"Hey, teacher, let him say it!"
Gui Deng Shui Yue still didn't have enough thoughts. He looked back at Yi Yong's pale face and was suddenly startled, "You, you are not really scared by him, are you?!"
Could it be that he, a teacher whose short-term goal was to kill Mizukage, was actually afraid of such outrageous ghost stories?
The nine tails on the mast are also a bit surprising.
This guy with facial paralysis is called facial paralysis because he has almost no expression except frowning.
The last time it saw Giyuu like this, he was talking about the fact that the tailed beasts were all created by the Sage of Six Paths.
But the Sage of Six Paths can make Giyu nervous, which is understandable. After all, he is a legendary figure that children in the ninja world have heard about since childhood.
But the evil god mentioned by this lunatic sounds like a made-up character. Why does this kid react like this?
"He is dangerous."
On the deck, Yiyong put the whining Hidan into a lacquered wooden box, and took out a dozen sealing talisman papers and pasted them on the gaps in the box.
This cautious operation made Gui Deng Shuiyue and Jiuwei's eyelids jump.
Then, Giyuu turned his attention to Kiden Suigetsu and said in a slightly serious tone: "Hidan is a living creature and cannot be put into a scroll. I usually carry it with me. But once I encounter a battle and it is not by my side, you must
Protect it and never lose it or have it snatched away.”
Ranmaru has no fighting power, Kyuubi is a clone and will dissipate if hit.
Currently on the ship, only Gui Deng and Shui Yue can be entrusted.
"Well……"
Although Yiyong was serious, Kiden Suigetsu didn't think this was such an important task.
Before he could agree or refuse, Yiyong said: "In return, during the trip, I will teach you a few more water escape ninjutsu that you can never learn outside, and I will also teach you basic sword skills every day."
"No problem!" Hearing this, Gui Deng Shui Yue punched his chest and boasted: "I will protect him even to the death!"
"so be it."
Giyuu seemed to be relieved, "You put Ranmaru into the cabin and come to me again. I will correct some mistakes in your movements."
For the time being, the stronger Kiden Suigetsu is, the more confident Yiyong will be when handing over his head, so the earlier the training, the better.
"Understood!" Suigetsu, who was finally treated as a disciple, smiled happily and pushed Ranmaru and ran away immediately.
Kyuubi originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he remembered that he was angry with Giyu not long ago, he snorted coldly and landed on Suigetsu's shoulder, and they went to the cabin together.
Seeing that both of them disappeared on the deck, Yiyong waited for another half a minute before channeling Anjurou's crow.
"Lord Shuizhu!"
Say hello politely, "Do you have anything urgent you need me to convey?"
"Where is Anjuro now?"
"Sir Anjuro was in the Country of Grass. He met a mother and daughter who needed help. He said they might be related to Naruto."
"Let's not mention this for now. I remember Anjuro said that one of the great pleasures of the Immortal River is to watch Muzan Demon and Tsuji being punished in hell."
After Yiyong said this name, even Yanzhu's crow was frightened and took a small step back, "Yes! That monster was imprisoned at the bottom of the Infinite Hell, and he only had the mind of Lord Fengzhu... Then
Only a brave man would sneak through the underworld for such a thing!"
"Do you know what kind of punishment Kibutsuji Muzan is receiving?" Giyuu asked.
Kaoru shook his head. To be honest, he didn't really want to know. After all, just the word "hell" made him very uncomfortable.
"Then you go ask Xingjuro. I will channel you again in five minutes."
"Ming, I understand!" Yao immediately turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.
Five minutes later, Kaname came back with Anjuro's reply. Giyu showed an expression of "Sure enough," and stood silently holding on to the edge of the sailboat.
As the saying goes, today’s cause will be tomorrow’s effect.
Since Onibatsuji Muzan's biggest sin is "cannibalism", his punishment is to be devoured and bitten by the resentment of the dead all the time, and he will never be able to stand up again.
Judging from Hidan's confession - the evil god who gave his heart was probably...
"Oops."
Yiyong looked at the boundless sea with his deep eyes, and suddenly thought of the shark that bit off Hidan's torso, and couldn't help but feel a little more worried.
…
At the same time, the Kingdom of Water.
A giant purple snake with long horns coiled around the hill, hissing and spitting out black snake messages.
Although it has no human face, the arrogance and cruelty conveyed in its eyes were accurately captured by Orochimaru opposite it.
"You're lying to me again!"
Wan She's huge head almost touched Orochimaru's face.
The fishy smell in his mouth spread to the surroundings, but Orochimaru still wore an elegant scientist-like smile. On the contrary, the follower behind him nervously adjusted his glasses.
"There is not a single ninja in that village! Only those brats have chakra, and yet you asked me to let them go..."
Wan She said in a very unpleasant tone, "I feel very unhappy about this meal, Orochimaru!"
As it said, its terrifying vertical pupils stared at Orochimaru's follower, "Why don't you give this follower to me, and I will forgive you this time. Anyway, he looks ordinary, and he has no advantages except being young.
There is no murderous intent from a ninja!"
"Oh, you are interested in my new subordinates."
Orochimaru tilted his head and glanced behind him, "Kabuto, what do you think? Master Wanji seems to be eating you."
"Haha. Just like you can't eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every meal, Master Wan She, if you eat ninja every meal, you will soon get bored."
Kabuto Yakushi looked about the same age as Uchiha Itachi. Although there was cold sweat on his forehead, his eyes were relaxed and narrowed, as if he was sure that nothing would happen to him.
"I am not an ordinary consumable. Orochimaru-sama's next plan just needs an ordinary person like me who seems harmless to humans and animals. I'm afraid I will disappoint you, Wanshe-sama. Besides, in that village, besides Orochimaru,
The two brats who were left behind by your name, and the remaining hundreds of people have entered your intestines and stomach, can you really eat it now?"
"A sharp-tongued brat, just a half-assed ninja, but I can still digest..."
When Wan She said this, she stopped as if someone had knocked her on the head, and looked straight ahead.
Kabuto Yakushi looked at Orochimaru in confusion, and the latter slowly shook his head. He didn't know what was going on.
After a few seconds, Wan She returned to normal.
"You are lucky today, but the ninja you owe me must make up for it next time. The old woman has something urgent to do with me, so she leaves first."
After saying this, Wan She turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared, leaving only the cough of Medicine Master Kabuto.
"Just get used to it and you'll be fine."
Orochimaru dispelled the smoke thoughtfully, and then looked at Yakushi Kabuto: "Go, those young people who have unique talents but are not recognized have their villages destroyed. It is when they are homeless and long for care.
They won't refuse your invitation."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded slightly and hesitated for a moment before saying: "But when they see Lord Wan She, won't they see through this is your plan? By then, you will be their enemy."
"In the Kingdom of Water, geniuses are marginalized. I just broke the cage that imprisoned them. The more they grow up, they will only be grateful to me."
Orochimaru's feminine voice gradually dispelled Yakushi Kabuto's doubts, "Besides, in this cruel world, how many people can survive until the day they know the truth?"
Kabuto Yakushi's expression darkened, but he still said bravely: "I still hope you can treat those orphans kindly."
"It depends on their value and what they want. Not every orphan is as special as you, Kabuto. If they desire power, they must be prepared to pay the price. You must know that I am not
I have no intention of forcing them to do anything. In the final analysis, everything is their own choice, and I am only responsible for providing opportunities."
Orochimaru paused slightly, "Okay, now I'm going to see those idiots from the Taketori clan. As long as they can attract Kirigakure's attention, Goju Yagura is in my bag. Kabuto, for us
I will leave all the tasks of recruiting talents to the village in the future to you. You must... don't let me down."
