Fire Style: Flame Bullet!
Hidan formed hand seals with both hands, and the Chakra surging through his body gathered at the acupoints in his mouth before transforming into a ball of fire that he spat out.
Boom!
The flames struck the wall, triggering a violent explosion.
Hidan raised a hand to wipe his mouth, his eyes gleaming as he sighed. "I never thought the day would come when I, the great Hidan, could use ninjutsu!"
Because he could not read and disliked studying, he had thought he was destined to have nothing to do with ninjutsu. Who would have thought he would run into Simu?
He turned to look at Simu and said somewhat awkwardly, "Although I, the great Hidan, don't like ninjutsu, since this is your sincere gift, I'll accept it for now."
Simu looked at the tsundere fellow and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"If you don't like them, I can remove the traces of these ninjutsu for you."
The moment Hidan heard that, he panicked.
"Hmph, I already said I'd reluctantly accept them."
Before he could finish, Simu had already made his move.
"I don't like forcing people."
Pitch-black wings spread open in an instant. Every feather gleamed with a terrifying metallic sheen, forming a dark mass that engulfed Hidan like a raging storm.
Hidan hurriedly dodged at the sight.
But Simu's attack speed and range were simply beyond Hidan's ability to evade. Before long, he was like a lone skiff, teetering under Simu's assault.
"Damn it, Simu! What kind of move is this?"
If it had been an ordinary person's attack, Hidan would not have taken it seriously at all.
After all, he was a man with an Immortal Body.
But Simu was different. Since he had chosen to attack this way, he definitely had some follow-up method to subdue him!
Though Hidan would not be afraid even if he were subdued. At worst, he would just get his head chopped off.
But how could the great Lord Hidan tolerate being pinned beneath Simu every time? Sometimes, he wanted to turn things around and be the one in charge too, okay?
At that thought, Hidan's gaze hardened.
Earth Style: Earth Wall!
Suddenly, he formed hand seals, and a rock wall rose with a rumble, completely blocking the incoming black feathers.
Although Simu's relentless bombardment shattered it in less than three seconds, it had bought Hidan enough time.
"You bastard, Simu! Taste my power!"
Hidan's voice suddenly came from beneath the ground.
A fair arm suddenly shot out of the earth and grabbed Simu by the ankle!
He had actually used the Earth-Style Wall as cover, then used Dochu Senko no Jutsu to reach beneath Simu's feet—to deceive, to ambush.
Ahem.
Some strange thoughts suddenly flashed through Simu's mind.
By then, Hidan had already burst out of the ground.
He grinned widely, and his shoulder blades twisted.
Crimson Koukaku grew from them and, under Simu's slightly surprised gaze, actually formed into a massive crimson Three-Moon Scythe!
So Kagune could be used this way too.
Simu stroked his chin. It seemed Hidan had at least a little imagination.
Seeing Simu's thoughtful expression, Hidan assumed Simu had been scared stiff by him and could not help bursting into smug laughter.
"Hahahaha! Kamizuki Simu, die!"
The Three-Moon Blood Scythe carved a massive arc through the air as it slashed toward Simu's body.
The scene Hidan imagined, of splitting Simu in two, did not happen.
That was because a layer of pitch-black Koukaku surged from Simu's skin before the blood scythe could touch him, wrapping him tightly within it.
Clang!
A violent metallic clash rang out, and sparks burst forth.
Simu turned his head and mocked him without mercy. "Little Hidan, did you wake up and immediately feel like scratching my itch?"
Those words completely broke Hidan.
"AAAAARGH!!!!"
Roaring, he wildly swung the blood-red scythe as tall as a person, frantically attacking Simu.
But aside from producing showers of sparks, the scythe that looked so powerful and imposing had virtually no other effect on Simu.
"Huff, huff."
Hidan bent over, his chest heaving as he panted continuously.
As for Simu?
He finally dismissed the Koukaku coating, yawned, stretched, and kept praising him. "Little Hidan, after not seeing you for a few days, your massage skills have improved."
"Worthy of praise!"
With that, he gave Hidan a thumbs-up as encouragement.
But to Hidan, that kind of encouragement and praise was undoubtedly an immense humiliation!
"Damn Kamizuki Simu! Taste my power!"
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
A violent current of air burst from Hidan's mouth, so powerful that it tore countless scratches across the ground.
Simu merely pushed up his glasses expressionlessly. The black Ukaku behind him suddenly stood upright, and countless feathers merged into a massive sword that crashed down upon the incoming gale!
There was no need to even look at the result.
The airflow that had been so violent moments ago was nothing but a weakling before this sword, rapidly dispersing the instant it met the slash.
Hidan still refused to give up.
"Damn it, Lightning Release—"
He had only formed half the seals when Simu appeared before him. A size-43 slipper instantly stamped itself onto his face.
Watching Hidan get kicked away, Simu clapped his hands and said calmly, "I gave you those ninjutsu only so you would have more ways to fight enemies, not so you could abandon the taijutsu you're best at and trade ninjutsu with them."
After saying that, Simu seemed to think of something. He raised a brow and said casually, "Though for you, putting the cart before the horse is probably normal."
"Damn Simu, you're the one putting the cart before the horse!" Hidan argued indignantly.
Simu smiled. Tilting his head toward Hidan, he asked, "Tell me what putting the cart before the horse means."
"Uh..."
Hidan blushed.
Hidan flew into a rage out of embarrassment.
Hidan charged at Simu.
Hidan got GG'd.
Hidan's head was chopped off and held in someone's hand.
"Tsk, tsk. All talk and no skill, yet you love fighting. What would you do without me, Little Hidan?"
Simu grabbed Hidan by the hair and swung his head around like a lantern.
"Bastard Simu! One day, I'll kill you!"
Simu smiled faintly at that and lowered his voice. "If that guy dies, there'll be no need for the Jashin Cult to exist either."
"AAAAAAAH!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Simu laughed heartily as he carried Hidan's head out of the Shrine.
At the same time, countless Ravens left the place and scattered in every direction.
After Simu left, the blood in the Blood Pool rapidly dried up.
If someone could see through the ground, they would find that the bright red blood was flowing swiftly through a crack beneath the Blood Pool and into fissures deep underground.
There, a Blood Orb pulsed rhythmically, beating again and again.
