Ci's sharp shout did not make the Evil God Cult Leader hesitate in the slightest. He stared with indifferent eyes,

his spear thrusting straight toward Yuko.

Seeing this, Uchiha Ci could no longer hide his identity as a ninja. He mobilized his Chakra and flashed in front of the little girl.

In his urgency, he had no choice but to stretch out one hand and firmly grab the incoming Pitch-Black Spear.

The spear's sharp edge sliced open his palm. Blood flowed from between Uchiha Ci's bandaged fingers and dripped onto the ground.

Uchiha Ci looked at his bleeding palm and frowned slightly.

Letting someone from the Evil God Cult obtain his blood was not a good thing.

"I said, stop!"

He raised his head slightly, his pair of Sharingan staring coldly at the Evil God Cult Leader before him.

"Sharingan? Uchiha?" The Evil God Cult Leader narrowed his eyes, halting his movements as his gaze flickered.

Why had an Uchiha left Valley of Hell, where they watched over those Blood Pond savages, and come to Evil God Cult territory?

What were they trying to do?

"Ci! What are you doing?"

At that moment, Hidan, who had witnessed the scene, hurried out and stood between Uchiha Ci and the Evil God Cult Leader, explaining to the latter:

"My lord, this guy is my friend. He also aspires to join our Evil God Cult."

The Evil God Cult Leader looked coldly at Uchiha Ci, seeming to wait for an explanation.

Seeing that the situation had eased somewhat, Uchiha Ci's eyes shifted and he immediately spoke:

"Hidan is right. Let her go. I'll become the sacrifice instead!"

As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked and stared at Uchiha Ci in astonishment.

This kid actually wanted to sacrifice himself and become an offering.

All to save a little girl he did not even know?

Among the crowd,

a hooded girl calmly watched the situation unfold. Her entire body was wrapped in the shadows of a Hooded Black Robe, with only a few strands of reddish-brown hair falling beside her ears.

Just moments ago, when the Evil God Cult Leader had stabbed at the little girl,

she had already been prepared to step in and save her.

But when she saw Uchiha Ci stand forward, she slowly withdrew the Cock Seal she had already formed.

Now, she looked at Uchiha Ci in confusion.

How could someone be this foolish? He was actually willing to sacrifice himself to save someone else?

"Wait, Ci, what are you talking about?"

"Didn't we agree to walk to the cross together? Why are you getting ahead of me?!"

After hearing Uchiha Ci's words, Hidan was the first to crack. He stared at Uchiha Ci in shock.

His face was practically screaming, I knew it.

At that moment, Hidan looked exactly like an unemployed man standing one spot behind Uchiha Ci in an interview, competing for the last job opening and terrified that the bastard ahead of him would snatch the offer from the interviewer's hand.

Deep in his heart, he was already howling.

This guy really was trying to steal Lord Evil God's favor from me!

"You want to become a sacrifice?"

The Evil God Cult Leader was also stunned. He staggered back three steps in a row, slowly pulled out his spear, and looked at Uchiha Ci as though examining him.

His gaze repeatedly fell upon the pair of Crimson Sharingan in Uchiha Ci's eyes, making him suck in a cold breath.

An Uchiha had come to the Evil God Cult, shouting that he wanted to become a sacrifice?

The Evil God Cult Leader felt as though he might be dreaming.

"That's right." Uchiha Ci strode forward and said righteously,

"I want to become a sacrifice!"

"My lord, take me to Evil God Cult Headquarters!"

However,

instead of being happy after hearing this, the Evil God Cult Leader's features twisted together in utter complexity after his initial shock.

At that moment, he looked at the brat before him, his expression twitching as if he had ordered a jackfruit online only for the seller to send him a durian shell.

It was not only disgusting, but covered in spikes too!

If the Uchiha Clan found out that the Evil God Cult had skewered an Uchiha child onto an altar as a sacrifice,

there would be no need to wait until tomorrow.

That very night,

the Uchiha garrison stationed in Valley of Hell would cross more than half the Land of Hot Water overnight.

They would skin him alive, stuff him with straw, and hang him up!

The Evil God Cult Leader thought for a long while, his expression growing uglier and uglier.

In the end, under everyone's watchful eyes, no matter how unwilling he was inside,

out of professional integrity, he could only ask stiffly:

"You... are a ninja?"

"Yes." Uchiha Ci nodded.

"Then we don't accept ninjas." The Evil God Cult Leader immediately seized the opportunity and said.

"What did you say?" Uchiha Ci widened his eyes and turned to look at Hidan,

his gaze seeming to ask, Bro, what's going on here?

You invited me to rack up points with the Evil God Cult, and now they're saying the five-man squad is already full?

Looking down on me, are you?

Hidan was also stunned. He could not help stepping beside the Evil God Cult Leader to remind him:

"My lord, I remember that we do accept ninjas. Didn't you even tell me last time to bring back one more?"

The Evil God Cult Leader looked at Hidan, who had exposed him, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

I told you to bring back a ninja.

And you brought back an Uchiha?

Didn't you know that among the ten hardest people to provoke in the Land of Hot Water, these Uchiha rank second?

"Oh, then perhaps I remembered wrong. Yeah." The Evil God Cult Leader immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

But if he really offered an Uchiha Family brat up as a sacrifice, he could not bear that responsibility.

His gaze immediately turned cold as he secretly signaled the two subordinates behind him.

Then, he looked at Uchiha Ci with a grim expression and asked coldly:

"Then do you know what the doctrine of our Evil God Cult is?"

Uchiha Ci froze, thinking that the job market had become this competitive already?

He was just going to be a sacrifice who stayed quiet and waited to get stabbed.

Did he seriously need to enroll in some class and study two books titled Five Years of Scripture, Three Years of Faith first?

"Uh... wait, I think I remember." Uchiha Ci's expression tightened as he secretly pulled out the booklet Hidan had copied for him and nervously flipped through two pages.

He tried to turn the interview into an open-book exam.

However, just then,

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two Black Spears suddenly shot toward Uchiha Ci from both sides.

The Evil God Cult Leader gritted his teeth and completely dropped the pretense. He released the Black Spears Uchiha Ci had grabbed, swung both palms, and pulled two more Pitch-Black Spears from the pockets of his black robe.

He looked coldly at Uchiha Ci and shouted:

"Hmph, you don't even understand the most basic doctrine. With the likes of you, do you deserve to hear Lord Evil God's gospel?"

"Our Evil God Cult doesn't accept illiterates!"

The two Black Spears tore through the wind and cut toward his face. The sudden ambush made the hairs on Uchiha Ci's neck stand on end.

An enormous sense of danger instantly flooded his heart.

Uchiha Ci immediately realized that the three Evil God Cult Minions were all experts!

The next moment,

two lines of text immediately refreshed before his eyes.

[You have been attacked by Evil God Cult Minions (Yugakure Chunin rogue ninjas). The leader of the minions even declared that you were a singing princess. Illiterate!] [Talent: Combat Intuition, S, has been triggered.]

An electric sensation shot from head to toe in an instant.

In the next second, Uchiha Ci twisted his head and flipped into the air. His Crimson Sharingan swayed left and right, tracing a trembling red line as they instantly locked onto the paths of the two Black Spears flying toward his face.

He twisted in midair and fiercely hurled the bloodied Black Spear in his hand, knocking one of the Black Spears aside.

However, the Black Spear from the other side shot straight for his vital point!

Uchiha Ci recalled the techniques Hidan would use in the future, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

But he was in midair. He no longer had the strength to twist himself again and strike it aside. At the instant the Black Spear came hurtling toward him, he could only avoid a vital spot.

And that meant he would definitely be injured!

Once he was injured and his blood was taken,

combined with the cut he had received earlier when he blocked the Evil God Cult Leader's Black Spear in his urgency,

if a member of the Evil God Cult picked up that Black Spear or scraped his blood from the ground, they might be able to use it to activate Curse Technique: Bloodcurse Death Possession.

Under that terrifying technique, he would be like a dish anyone could order at will!

Uchiha Ci's eyes widened slightly as he thought that the Land of Hot Water truly was full of danger.

A mere group of passing Evil God Cult Minions actually possessed such terrifying ambush abilities!

However,

at that moment—

a hooded girl from the crowd frowned and slapped the cattle pen, vaulting over it.

The reddish-brown tassels by her ears swayed in the wind.

She drew a kunai from beneath her black robe, forming a Snake Seal with both hands.

Then, with a pair of clear emerald eyes like gemstones, she shouted at Uchiha Ci:

"Idiot, duck!"

"Water Release: Water Fang Blade!"
