After seeing the two of them, Shamu returned to Orochimaru's laboratory.
Karin had already brought Itachi and Fugaku back.
Orochimaru had finished examining Hidan.
Hidan's body had been dismembered into pieces.
Shamu had expected it to be very bloody, but it was not too bad in reality.
Hidan had very little blood, and it barely flowed.
"Hidan's immortality comes from a force that protects his soul from leaving his body. That force is also slowly repairing his body."
"He is not truly immortal. More precisely, he is no longer a living person."
Impressive. Orochimaru had figured all that out in such a short time.
"You mean Hidan is just a soul unable to leave its own corpse?"
Shamu grew curious. He had thought Hidan was an immortal, but it turned out he was actually an undead.
"Yes. The so-called gift of Jashin is simply turning believers into undead and having them gather whatever Jashin wants."
"Can we make use of this body, or this power?"
That was what Shamu really cared about.
Orochimaru spread his hands.
"His power is a gift from Jashin. Such gifts originate from faith. We have no faith in Jashin, so we cannot use that power."
Shamu was somewhat disappointed. He had thought he could use it as a perpetual-motion machine.
"How can this thing be killed?"
According to Orochimaru, no matter how badly Hidan's body was destroyed, he would not die, because he was already dead.
Orochimaru had lost interest in Hidan.
"As long as he denies his faith one day, he will die."
Since it was useless, Shamu intended to destroy it.
Leaving it around would only cause trouble.
Hidan had been conscious the entire time, so he had heard everything Orochimaru said. Now, muffled sounds came from his mouth.
It was nothing more
