Hidan, the Immortal
Immediately afterwards, Shiyu, Chiyo, and Xiao Xing set off.
On the way, Chiyo told Shiyu Sasori about some of his weaknesses, but Shiyu actually knew more information than Chiyo.
"Chiyo, Xiao Xing, the two of you should work together to deal with Sasori. The puppet core on his chest is probably the core of his life. As long as we destroy that thing, Sasori will be defeated," Shiyu explained.
"Leave the other blond man to me. If anything unexpected happens, leave it to me too." Shiyu gave off a very reassuring feeling.
"This girl?" Grandma Chiyo was unaware of Xiao Xing's strength and looked at Xiao Xing with some doubt.
"Grandma, you're not doubting my abilities, are you? I'm very strong." Xiao Xing boasted, but it wasn't very convincing. It wasn't until Shiyu explained Xiao Xing's abilities that Chiyo understood.
"Amazing! I didn't expect this little girl to know Senjutsu! If that's the case, the battle will probably be much easier." Chiyo knew about Senjutsu and how terrifying it was, so Chiyo Xiao Xing Senjutsu.
After getting to know each other along the way, the three followed the coded messages left by Sunagakure and kept searching.
However, halfway through, due to Xiao Xing's carelessness, the mechanism was triggered, and Chiyo managed to pull Xiao Xing back in time using the Chakra Threads that control the puppet.
"That was close! I didn't expect these people to be so cunning, leaving behind so many traps!" Xiao Xing said, still a little shaken.
"Of course, they're trying to stop us from advancing, but the fact that we've encountered a trap means we're not far from them," Shiyu guessed.
"There's probably an 80% chance these guys are currently extracting the One-Tails from Gaara's body, so they're staying in one place for the time being," Shiyu guessed.
"Pull out the One-Tails? If these guys do that, Gaara will die instantly." Chiyo was also taken aback.
"Don't worry, Gaara will definitely return to Sunagakure safely," Shiyu assured him.
"Let's continue." Shiyu was about to set off, a group of White Zetsu and Four Symbols Puppet Ninja stopped him.
"Sorry, this road is blocked. If you want to proceed, defeat us first." The numerous White Zetsu and Four Symbols Puppet Ninja made way, and from among them stepped two ninjas dressed in Akatsuki's red cloud robes.
One of the members had short, silver hair combed back and purplish-red eyes, while the other was half black and half white.
Zetsu warned, "Hidan, don't underestimate them. After all, the one in front of you is known as the strongest in the Shinobi World."
Hidan, utterly disdainful, completely ignored him and immediately replied, "Haha! What's there to be afraid of? I haven't even done a single mission since joining the organization. I'd much rather spar with the strongest Shinobi World and offer his life to Lord Evil God!"
"This guy is someone neither Chiyo nor Xiao Xing recognizes, Hidan, "Shiyu immediately reminded them, "Leave this guy to me, you guys go find Sasori first."
"Hey! You're really disregarding me! I'm right here, and you're ignoring my presence!" Hidan swung his three-section scythe, stopping Xiao Xing and Chiyo from leaving.
However, before Shiyu could make a move, Xiao Xing slammed his fist into the ground, instantly shattering it into pieces and causing the entire ground to shake violently. The White Zetsu and Puppet Ninja immediately lost their footing, and Xiao Xing seized the opportunity to use Body Flicker Technique to quickly disappear with Chiyo.
Upon seeing this, Jue said, "Really, they said they were stopping three people. Two of them have already escaped."
Hidan chuckled awkwardly, "Hahaha! Isn't there still one most important person here?"
"Then remember to stop him. I'm going to stop those two." Jue vanished instantly, but Shiyu didn't stop him.
"Hey! Kid? You really like making me angry! Well then, let's have some fun from now on!" Hidan licked his lips, looking quite sinister.
Shiyu shook his head and said, "What bullshit Lord Evil God? Oh, now I remember, you mean that Gakin Cult? I remember when I was little, we wiped it out once and even killed your leader."
"So it was you! How dare you disrespect the Lord Evil God?!" Hidan could even make a move, White Zetsu and the Four Symbols Puppet Ninja attacked Shiyu together.
Hidan, meanwhile, moved through the crowd, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to strike.
However, Shiyu is not the Shiyu before.
"Yasakani Jewel!" Shiyu's body transformed into Susanoo, and he threw the Tomoe in his hand like a shuriken.
"Rasengan!" Shiyu pushed the Rasengan out, which landed next to White Zetsu and the Four Symbols Puppet Ninja, and then Rasengan erratically.
"Boom!" A cloud of dust billowed around them, and most of the White Zetsu and the Four Symbols Puppet Ninja had been easily wiped out by Shiyu.
"Die! Bloody Three-Section Scythe!" Hidan finally found a gap in Shiyu's attack and threw out his three-section scythe.
"Bang!" The scythe was easily deflected just outside Shiyu's body.
"What is that!? A gray phantom! It can actually ignore my scythe!?" Hidan had never seen Susanoo, so he was naturally very shocked.
"Hidan, if I'm not mistaken, you want to take my blood, right? But unfortunately, I have a hundred ways to make it impossible for you to do so for the rest of your life." Susanoo Shiyu's enormous body suddenly vanished.
He then appeared right next to Hidan.
"So fast!! How can there be such terrifying speed!?" Before Hidan could even react, he was sent flying by a heavy punch from Shiyu, Susanoo.
Hidan was severely injured in that instant. Although Hidan is Immortal Body, he is not immune to pain.
"Hahahaha! So you know my abilities? But so what? I'm Immortal Body!" Hidan seemed completely unfazed.
However, Shiyu shook his head and said, "Hidan, you're too naive. If you could live on just the Immortal Body, how could I have killed the followers and leader of the Gakin Cult?"
"If I turn you into dust, or bury you alive, then you're essentially dead, am I right? Even to enter Death God's Blood Mode, you need the blood of your enemies, right? But I won't give you any chance. You've lost, Hidan."
"The price of losing is death," Shiyu said with a faint smile.
"Hidan was also terrified. Not only had Shiyu completely seen through his abilities, but Shiyu also knew his weaknesses perfectly well."
"Who are you? How do you know me so well?! I'm just a newbie who just joined the platform!"
