In Gato's memories, Camilla was a young-looking woman with a tall, slender figure, long brown hair, and black eyes. She had a languid air about her.

Everything in Gato's life had begun with this beautiful woman.

Camilla claimed to be a God Messenger, and the god she worshipped was none other than Lord Jashin!

In the original story, Hidan worshipped this same Evil God. Camilla had given Gato a puppet and told him that worshipping the Evil God would grant him extraordinary power!

All he had to do was smear his enemy's blood on the puppet, and he could control them! He could turn them into his own puppets!

When Gato used the puppet to control someone and successfully made them kill more than ten people for him, he believed!

The controlled person's strength increased dramatically. Even if they died, they could keep fighting until the puppet's power ran out!

From then on, Gato became a devout follower of the Evil God Cult, and Camilla would bring him puppets regularly. In return, he had to offer an equal number of virgin girls to the Evil God!

With the puppets, Gato quickly became a notorious underworld boss in the area. His underlings multiplied, and his business empire grew. Bars, casinos, docks—he had a hand in all of it. And at the casinos, there were plenty of gamblers who had lost everything and were selling their sons and daughters!

Gato used these gamblers to collect large numbers of girls by letting them pay off their gambling debts with their daughters. He offered some to the Evil God and kept the rest for his own pleasure. He was truly evil to the core!

Later, he even used Holy Powder to control more people and make them work for him! Extortion and kidnapping followed suit.

Obito suddenly felt that simply killing him would be far too easy on him!

According to the memories, Camilla would come with the puppet tomorrow. I'll let you live one more day. Tomorrow, you and that godforsaken God Messenger of yours can die together!

Obito used his Sharingan to keep Gato trapped in an illusion. As usual, Gato sat in his office smoking a cigar.

Since he didn't know how strong this God Messenger was—and the original story had said very little about the Evil God Cult and hadn't mentioned a woman named Camilla at all—Obito hid in the Kamui Dimension so she wouldn't sense him and flee.

Early the next morning, Obito went to Gato's office. Gato had been under the genjutsu all night and hadn't left.

You're finally here. Let's see the true face of the Evil God Cult!

Camilla moved like a finely tuned machine, each of her steps the same distance apart. She walked with an elegant gait, wearing a black, high-slit dress and black high heels that showed off her long, slender legs to perfection.

But compared with the surroundings, one could see that her elegant stride was astonishingly quick! The people around her seemed to take no notice of such a beautiful woman!

She was in a good mood today. Her work had been outstanding, and yesterday she had received a reward from Lord Jashin: a drop of Holy Blood!

With this drop of divine blood, she could take another great step toward immortality!

"Click..." Camilla turned the doorknob and stepped inside. The room was filled with thick smoke, and the pungent smell of tobacco repulsed her.

How could an elegant woman possibly stand being surrounded by the stench of tobacco?

If Gato weren't so reliable in his work, she would have loved to wring his head off right then and there.

"Lord Jashin above! Gato, are you trying to smoke yourself to death?" Camilla said as she walked toward him.

Just then, Obito emerged soundlessly from the Kamui Dimension, right behind Camilla.

With a sharp shing, Obito stabbed Camilla through the heart from behind!

Camilla stared at the blade tip protruding from her chest, stunned for a moment. She had clearly sensed everything around her—when had he...

But she was no useless flower vase. Ignoring the blade through her heart, Camilla lunged forward, pulling herself free of the long sword. A gush of blood poured from her chest...

Damn it! Camilla pulled a syringe from somewhere. Inside was Holy Blood, made by diluting a drop of Lord Jashin's blood!

She quickly plunged the needle into a vein and pushed the blood in. Camilla's face flushed intensely, as if she had a fever... Her body began to tremble as well...

Obito stood still, at a loss for words. There's a time and a place for getting off...

The wound in Camilla's chest quickly healed. Black-red energy visibly rippled over it—not the blue of chakra. Was this the power of the Evil God?

"I am Camilla, God Messenger under Lord Jashin! Who are you?"

As she spoke, Camilla pulled a short spear about thirty centimeters long from beneath her dress. A strap had been fastened around her thigh, and she had kept the weapon attached to it.

"Whoosh..." She swung the short spear hard, and it extended to about ninety centimeters. It looked extremely sharp.

"Villains die from talking too much!"

Obito wanted to test out the Strength Enhancement he had stolen from Tsunade. He hoped this woman could take a beating.

His hands and feet were wrapped in blue chakra, like blazing flames.

He pushed off hard with both feet. The ground cracked apart beneath him as he charged straight at Camilla.

Facing the oncoming enemy, Camilla wasn't afraid. She believed in the power of the Holy Blood bestowed upon her by Lord Jashin!

She tightened her grip on the short spear and charged to meet him...

With a deafening bang, Camilla flew out of the bar window like a trash bag caught in a gale, spinning through the air a full five times.

"Pfft..." Camilla spat out blood mixed with fragments of her organs. Looking down, she saw that the area around her kidney had been smashed open...

But black-red energy covered her body, and the wound around her kidney was slowly healing...

She took my Kidney Strike and still didn't die. Are all members of the Evil God Cult like Hidan, impossible to kill? Obito thought.

He wasn't in a hurry to kill her. Like a cat playing with a mouse, he wanted to gather some information before finishing her off.

"He's too fast, too strong... This is what it feels like to face Lord Jashin! How could I have run into a monster like this?"

Camilla had a clear sense of the gap between them. The power of the Holy Blood meant she wouldn't die for the moment, but she couldn't hold on long with an injury this fatal...

Camilla covertly surveyed her surroundings. After deciding to flee, she pretended to attack, then turned and bolted...

Unfortunately for her, she was up against Obito and his space-time ocular jutsu. After running for a while, Camilla realized that the young man was following right behind her without hurrying. Whether she sped up or slowed down, the distance between them never changed.

"My lord, what is it you want?" Camilla asked after stopping.

"I want to meet your Evil God," Obito replied.

"Impossible! Lord Jashin is the great Supreme God! I won't let you blaspheme against him!" Camilla said, worked up.

"Fine. I'll kill you first, then your followers. I'll leave your Evil God all alone, a rat hiding in the sewers forever!"

"I'll fight you to the death!" Camilla gripped her short spear and charged at Obito without any regard for defense.

Suddenly, the black-red flames of energy around Camilla surged! She fell into a state of utter frenzy, shouting wildly through what seemed to be unbearable pain!
