Evil God Ritual, Beautiful Future!

When Hidan heard that name.

Uchiha Ci's eyes flickered slightly.

The Evil God Cult, he only knew a little about it.

It was a mysterious organization wandering the Land of Hot Water, worshipping a deity called the 'Evil God'.

The powerful members of the organization could rely on unique Blood Curses and Ritual Secret Techniques to possess terrifying 'First Encounter Kill' abilities.

In the original work, the Village That Forgot War, out of fear of war, did nothing, settling for a corner, even earning the name 'Village That Forgot War'.

This conflicted with Hidan's ideology of saving the Land of Hot Water through forceful means. He gradually grew dissatisfied with the Hot Water Ninja Village, so he began to pay attention to the emerging religion in the Land of Hot Water, the 'Evil God Cult'.

It was just that Uchiha Ci hadn't expected, that at this point in time, Hidan, who wasn't even a Genin yet, had already started noticing this organization?

At this moment, Hidan's expression sank, and he immediately spoke:

"Let me tell you this, Ci!"

"Listen--"

"The Land of Hot Water is beyond saving!"

"This country has already gotten involved in the wars of the five great nations. Do you know what that concept means?"

Hidan's expression gradually turned sinister, and he stated in a deep voice:

"I've seen too many ninjas in the Land of Hot Water."

"Ninjas from Iwagakure, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Konoha, wearing the forehead protectors of these great nations, rampaged across this land. They didn't care about the lives of the civilians in the Land of Hot Water. It was a death match upon meeting, and large-scale ninjutsu was unleashed indiscriminately."

"Have you ever experienced this? Walking down the street, and suddenly, a village next to you is flooded, swallowed by a chasm cracked open by an earthquake, or destroyed by lightning falling from the sky."

"Then, my teacher, a Jonin from the Hot Water Ninja Village, grabbed my shoulder and told me--"

"Hidan, hurry and leave here. We'll be safe once we get to the Hot Water Ninja Village."

"I remember the fearful expression on his face, his forehead covered in sweat, his eyes clearly filled with anger, yet he turned his head away, his gaze evasive, afraid to look."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ci couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In the room, Hidan sat on a chair.

Bright sunlight streamed through the large hole in the wall and shone on him, but it seemed as if his body had swallowed it all.

Like a black hole.

Hidan's expression was dark and terrifying, anger clearly visible on his face. The skin at the corners of his eyes seemed stretched as if it would tear. He widened his eyes, looked at Uchiha Ci, and chuckled lowly:

"I asked my teacher, why didn't you save them?"

"With your abilities, teacher, you could have done it, right? You could have defeated those Chunin who massacred the civilians, right? You could have killed them, erased all traces, and escaped, right?"

"Kill them, why didn't you kill them?"

"Why?"

"Do you know how my teacher answered me?" Hidan paused for a moment, then looked up and asked Uchiha Ci.

Uchiha Ci slowly exhaled, sighing:

"Probably something like, 'Hidan, don't cause trouble, we're no match for them'?"

The vast and stark contrast, reminded him of Uchiha Setsuna's words when facing a powerful enemy from Kumogakure, which were akin to self-destruction, as he spoke protectively to avenge him.

For a Genin, he didn't hesitate to pursue them with his entire clan!

It was also the first time Uchiha Ci felt the 'Clan of Love', the Uchiha, and the morbid extent of their love.

Hidan shook his head and smiled dejectedly:

"But teacher said--"

"'Those people have nothing to do with us, don't meddle in other people's business.'"

"'Listen to that,'"

"'He actually said--those people have nothing to do with us?'"

"'Teacher's hometown is from that village, and we're leaving the village this time to bring his wife back to the village.'"

"'He actually said, those people have nothing to do with us?!!!!'"

Hidan's emotions became agitated, and he couldn't help but snatch the apple from Uchiha Ci's hand, throwing it fiercely to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

Uchiha Ci: ???

Are you kidding me? That was mine, you know!

Uchiha Ci shook his head and sighed. Although he had long anticipated the messed-up nature of this world, upon truly hearing such a tragedy, he still found it somewhat difficult to accept.

"This world is just messed up, but what you're saying, what does it have to do with the Evil God Cult?"

Hidan nodded, taking a small booklet from a pouch on his waist.

He slapped it into Uchiha Ci's hand, saying with genuine excitement:

"Ci, look at this."

"Look at these teachings!"

"The declining Land of Hot Water has finally welcomed its dawn!"

"Its name is—"

"The Evil God Cult!"

A twisted smile spread across Hidan's face:

"Kill! Kill! Kill everything around us!"

"Kill while standing, kill while squatting, kill by mounting people on horses, kill after dousing them in horse dung and then chopping them down, bind their hands, kick them into boiling oil and kill them, everything, everything!"

"Ninjas, civilians, nobles, daimyo—"

"Kill them all!"

"Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!"

"Let this country welcome a purge!"

"Lay the foundation, stain the flowers with blood, build a Pyramid of Skulls with tens of millions, billions of lives, and perform the ritual!"

"Then—"

"Welcome the Evil God!"

"When the deity descends, all who worship Him will receive eternal torment!"

"Erase all sins!"

"The reborn Land of Hot Water, in the embrace of the Evil God, will become the Sixth Great Nation of the Ninja World!"

"And will forever find peace!"

As his words fell, Hidan, standing in a blazing beam of light, spread his arms, his face filled with fervor as he stared directly at the sun.

As if seeing a light more dazzling than the sun!

Uchiha Ci swallowed, looking at Hidan before him, his face a mask of shock, and couldn't help but ask in a booming voice:

"You've joined the Evil God Cult already?"

Hidan suddenly shook his head, looking dejected.

"Not yet."

"But, they should be arriving soon—"

Hidan let out a hearty laugh, clapping Uchiha Ci on the shoulder, and said with utmost sincerity:

"Ci, help me."

"The Evil God Cult requires sacrifices!"

"Me sacrificing myself isn't enough, I need you!"

"Come with me to the cross, become a believer of the god!"

"When that time comes,"

"We will stand shoulder to shoulder at the pinnacle of this country, making the Land of Hot Water—"

"Great forever!"

A bead of sweat trickled down Uchiha Ci's forehead as he stared at Hidan in astonishment.

There were no subtitles appearing before his eyes, Which meant, This guy was genuinely inviting him to become a sacrifice, and he probably thought it was a great thing!

Uchiha Ci's face twitched uncontrollably.

For Hidan, becoming a sacrifice was, of course, a good thing.

He could gain 'immortality' that transcended the fear of death, master the various secret arts and curses from the Evil God's scriptures, And from then on, climb the ranks within the Evil God Cult, become a general manager, take on the role of CEO, marry the Bloody March Scythe and Pitch-Black Spear sisters, and reach the pinnacle of life!

He even felt a little excited thinking about it.

But Uchiha Ci... Ci...

"Huh?"

Uchiha Ci suddenly froze, as if he saw a clear path laid out before him, specifically designed for insurance fraud!

Angels singing, fairies scattering flowers, just waiting for him to take one step forward.

This is a good thing for me too!

Facing the Evil God Cult, a notorious cult and villainous force, As a Heaven-Sent Strong Man, who loves peace and justice, and vows to lead the ninja world to a bright future, how could Uchiha Ci stand idly by?

Uchiha Ci's face lit up with excitement. He immediately jumped out of bed.

He fiercely clenched the Evil God Cult's promotional pamphlet in his hand and grabbed Hidan's hands tightly.

"Hidan, my good brother! Great!"

"Then let's go to the Evil God Cult together!"

"We all have a bright future!"
