Kazuhiko felt great.
He wasn't in the mood to carry out some damn top-secret S-rank mission.
All he wanted now was to establish a new Jashin Cult.
What was the point of treating Tsunade?
He had to take action right away, become stronger than Tsunade, and carve down the tallest mountain in the Shinobi World to offer to Lord Jashin.
"The body is merely a vessel. Pain is a deity's whisper, and death is a coward's fear..."
Soaking in a hot spring was a waste of time!
He had to perform the sacrificial ritual immediately!
He would please Lord Jashin and gain the power to defeat Tsunade.
Kazuhiko cut his wrist, savoring the pain, then used his blood to draw Jashin Spell beside the hot spring.
"With my blood, I draw the divine array. With my body, I invite divine retribution..."
"My body lives alongside the god, and my pain is shared with my enemies..."
There didn't seem to be enough blood.
One person wasn't enough.
Lost in the ritual, Kazuhiko suddenly realized that he couldn't provide all the blood the altar needed by himself.
And besides,
He hadn't prepared any sacrifices for Lord Jashin!
Blood.
Pain.
Both required human resources.
"Do not cling to family, friendship, or worldly attachments..."
"Kakashi would be perfect. He's exactly the kind of human resource the Jashin Cult needs."
Completely possessed by the idea, Kazuhiko acted on impulse. He picked up a Shuriken and headed inside.
"Not only is Kakashi an elite Jonin, he also has a Kamui Mangekyō Sharingan. Lord Jashin will surely..."
"Kamui Mangekyō..."
The key phrase made Kazuhiko pause to think.
"I feel like I've forgotten something..."
"Deep Blue!"
The instant he remembered Deep Blue, reason began to reclaim the high ground of his intellect.
