"Two pieces of trash!"
Seeing his two subordinates easily dealt with by Hidan, Kikuchi Miura could not help but curse under his breath.
The original plan to use them to pin down Hidan had fallen through, and now he had to face the two freaks, Hidan and Simu, head-on.
However.
Even so, the battle-hardened Kikuchi Miura was still confident he could take down these two greenhorns.
To him, an immortal body was not invincible; as long as he seized the right opportunity, he could simply bind them up.
Hidan's mouth curled into a grin as he swung the black spear in his hand wildly, looking like some shaman performing a sacrificial dance.
"I am going to sacrifice you, you fake believer, to Lord Jashin!"
With that, Hidan suddenly launched himself forward, charging toward Kikuchi Miura like a cannonball.
This arrogant attitude deeply irritated Kikuchi Miura.
"Just a wet-behind-the-ears brat, thinking he's something special just because he's received the favor of Lord Jashin."
He moved his hands rapidly in front of his chest, his fingers weaving together to form one special hand seal after another.
Not far away, Simu watched Kikuchi Miura's movements with unblinking eyes.
This must be the preparatory stage before releasing a ninjutsu, what was known as hand seals.
This was the first time Simu had seen an opponent use ninjutsu in actual combat, so he observed with extreme detail.
Hidan rushed in, and Kikuchi Miura seemed to have guided the energy within his body through those specific hand seals.
A massive amount of Chakra was drawn from his body, finally condensing within his mouth.
"Water Release: Water Wave Technique!"
Kikuchi Miura took a deep breath, his stomach bulging slightly, and as he opened his mouth, the Chakra within instantly transformed into a terrifying, surging torrent of water!
It was hard to imagine how a person's mouth could spit out such a vast amount of water.
But that was the charm of ninjutsu.
By using Chakra to achieve an effect that influenced reality, in Simu's view, this was the conversion of energy into physical matter.
And ninjutsu was the converter for this process.
Regardless, the surging water flattened all the shops on both sides of the street, and even Hidan, who was in the middle of his charge, was swept up in it.
"I'll kill you. Glug, glug."
Hidan struggled within the turbulent current.
Seeing the torrent rushing toward him, Simu slowly adjusted his glasses, and a giant centipede tail sprouted from his back, acting like a shield to block the incoming water.
As the Chakra was exhausted, the flood finally subsided.
Protected by the Weihe: Centipede, Simu stood where he was, his only loss being that the hem of his clothes had gotten a bit wet.
As for Hidan, he was not so lucky.
Swept away by the flood, he had been slammed directly into a pile of ruins.
The shops surrounding the street were completely destroyed, with countless casualties and wails rising from all sides.
Of course, to Kikuchi Miura, these tragic sights meant nothing at all.
After all, they were the Jashin Cult!
As long as their goal could be achieved, let alone the lives of dozens, even hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of people were not worth mentioning.
"Cough, cough, cough! You bastard, how dare you get my clothes wet!"
Hidan stood up from the ruins in a rage; his meticulously styled silver pompadour was now plastered wetly against his scalp, which made him extremely unhappy.
"An immortal body, what an enviable ability."
Kikuchi Miura could not hide the jealousy on his face.
Like the Cult Leader, he could not understand why Lord Jashin would choose a fool like Hidan!
"Heh, a fake believer like you will never understand the glory of Lord Jashin!"
Hidan lunged out from the ruins.
The injuries caused by the terrifying water pressure, which would have shattered anyone else's bones, had already vanished from Hidan's body without a trace.
Kikuchi Miura grew serious, and as his arms swung, four kunai flew out.
Attached to the ring at the end of each kunai was a paper charm, covered in dense, complex incantations drawn in special ink.
Seeing these kunai, Hidan charged forward without dodging or weaving.
To him, this kind of attack was useless.
The moment the kunai pierced Hidan's body, the paper charms wrapped around them suddenly ignited, and then.
"BOOM!"
Scorching flames erupted from the four paper charms simultaneously, and the terrifying explosion blasted a massive crater into the street, shrouding the battlefield in thick, black smoke.
"So this is a paper bomb?"
Simu's expression remained unchanged as he silently observed the battlefield situation and the various methods ninjas might employ during combat.
In the center of the explosion crater, Hidan was charred black, his skin completely carbonized.
As he moved, the charcoal-like skin flaked off and fell to the ground with a rustling sound.
This burning sensation was something he had never experienced before.
"Hehehe."
"This feeling... it really is comfortable!"
Hidan burst into a wild, violent laugh.
"This is exactly what I wanted! Only an opponent like this is worthy of my judgment, worthy of being sacrificed to the great Lord Jashin!"
His manic laughter came to an abrupt halt, and he leaped from the center of the crater, brandishing his black spear as he descended from the sky to strike at Kikuchi Miura.
Cloaked in black smoke, this attack was incredibly sudden; even Kikuchi Miura failed to react in time and was pierced through the chest by the dark spear.
"Finished."
Hidan grinned, revealing a cruel smile.
Kikuchi Miura, his body pierced, suddenly turned his head and flashed a strange smile at Hidan.
In the next second, his entire body instantly transformed into a torrent of water and exploded outward!
Hidan's pupils constricted as he tried to pull back, but it was clearly too late given his current speed.
The surging water rapidly formed a sphere five meters in diameter, engulfing Hidan entirely before he could retreat!
"Glub, glub, glub!"
Hidan thrashed about inside, but he could only spit out bubbles, and no one could hear a word he was saying.
However, Simu didn't need to hear it to know what the guy was saying; it was nothing more than "I'll kill you" or something similar.
Simu had grown tired of hearing it over the past three months.
Compared to what Hidan was saying, he was more concerned with where Kikuchi Miura was now.
Sure enough, after Hidan was successfully trapped, Kikuchi Miura finally emerged from a puddle on the ground.
He looked triumphantly at the impotently raging Hidan and said with a hint of disdain, "So what if you have an immortal body? Once trapped, you're nothing more than a wild dog capable of nothing but impotent rage."
Simu rubbed his chin and nodded in agreement, "As expected of senior Miura, that is indeed well said."
This only made Hidan even more furious.
However, his rage suddenly ceased the next moment because Kikuchi Miura extended a palm and placed it gently on the surface of the water sphere.
"Water Release: Underwater Decapitation Technique!"
A torrent suddenly manifested within the water, splitting the entire sphere in two!
The point of severance was exactly at Hidan's neck.
In other words, Hidan had been decapitated yet again!
Kikuchi Miura stepped on Hidan's head while keeping his body restrained with the water, saying coldly, "As long as your head and body are separated, even an immortal body can't fight back, right?"
