"Then what should we do now?" Suzuki Jiro asked from the side. WwWCOM
Sato Hideaka pondered for a moment and asked, "Suzuki-Jun, if you ask Land of Hot Water's general to withdraw from the sacrificial valley and wait for the escaped Jashin Cult believers in the forest, will he obey your arrangement?"
"General? Mr. Akutagawa, he and I are under the management of Mr. Yukage and Mr. Daimyo respectively, and we are not familiar with each other personally. Logically speaking, he is following the orders of Mr. Daimyo to exterminate the cultists. I have no right to order him." Suzuki Jiro shook his head and said, "However, you can give it a try..."
"Try it, I'm afraid it won't work..." Guren shook his head and said.
Sato Hideaka and Guren looked at each other and said, "Suzuki, the general will not accept your fate. Now the situation has reached an extremely critical moment. The sacrifice is being carried out rapidly. No matter whether the general is willing to evacuate his people, they must evacuate!"
"But..." Suzuki Jiro hesitated.
Both the daimyo and the shadow have great power. The daimyo can command the shadow, but the shadow cannot command the daimyo. The two are in a subordinate relationship, so no matter how much power Suzuki Jiro has in Yugakure, it cannot command and control the daimyo's army.
If it really happened that Kage's ninjas ordered the Daimyo General, it would be a big taboo in terms of the ownership of rights.
"Jun Suzuki, I understand your difficulties, but if you sit back and wait for Jashin's sacrifice to be completed, if the leader Jashin Cult gains the power to walk freely and summons Jashin, not only will we not escape death, but Land of Hot Water will also fall into turmoil and bloodshed. I hope you can make a decision..."
Sato Hideaka persuaded Suzuki Jiro earnestly and sincerely. It was difficult for Guren, who was in charge of Konoha, to speak first. The best way was for him to take the lead. If Suzuki Jiro did not agree, Guren would only speak again to be effective.
Suzuki Jiro glanced at the phantom of Jashin that solidified again, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, in order to solve the hidden danger of Land of Hot Water, if Mr. Akutagawa cannot listen to my advice, I will kidnap him and leave, giving you enough time."
"Thank you, Mr. Suzuki..." Sato Hideaka nodded and said.
Land of Hot Water and Konoha sent a total of one hundred and three ninjas. Forty-three ninjas died in this battle. Twenty of the remaining sixty ninjas were taken away by Suzuki Jiro to complete the task of breaking out of the Jashin Cult encirclement and convincing Land of Hot Water General Akutagawa to leave.
The remaining forty ninjas, led by Guren, continue to wait for the opportunity to destroy the altar...
Twenty minutes later, the Daimyo army retreated!
Losing the support of the blood of human beings fighting against each other, the bloody light spots flying like Fire Fly insects disappeared. On the altar of the Jashin Sect, the shadow of Jashin once again lost the support of blood. The speed of the solidification and expansion of the blood-colored shadow suddenly stagnated.
The bloody Jashin shadow is suspended above the altar!
Jashin Cult Leader stood at the feet of Jashin's phantom, looking at the weak blood flowing slowly around him. At this time, it was difficult to make up for the sacrifice requirements. He couldn't help but his eyes were split, and his eyes were filled with terrifying bloodshot eyes. The veins on his forehead popped out, with endless anger.
"Damn it, the sacrifice has stopped again. The whole sacrifice is only half completed! These damn Yukage ninjas..., when Jashin comes to the world, these damn Yugakure must be eliminated from this world!"
As if he thought of something, Jashin Cult Leader moved his right hand slightly, and a dark spear of about 20 centimeters appeared in the blood-colored armhole. After shaking hard, it suddenly popped out about 1 centimeter, and the top was extremely sharp.
"What is this guy doing?"
Guren looked at Jashin Cult Leader's strange movements on the altar and said in confusion.
"This is a sacrificial thing... can the sacrificial ceremony continue?" Sato Hideaka frowned slightly. The black gun was one of the weapons used by Akatsuki to complete the ritual in stages. Looking at the situation, Jashin Cult Leader, who was on the high platform, still wanted to fight the trapped beast.
Insert the left hand Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe into the altar...
Jashin Cult Leader pulled down his top to reveal his strong muscles.
A look of incomparable fanaticism suddenly appeared in his eyes. He held the 1cm black gun with both hands, pointed the sharp tip of the black gun at his left chest, and then, under everyone's gaze, plunged it into his heart.
"Didi-di-"
The blood spurted from the heart and dripped on the altar, turning into blood light and flying into the twelve-foot-long Jashin shadow. The twelve-foot Jashin shadow suddenly shook suddenly, and the edge of the shadow began to become misty and billowing like a sea of clouds.
"Damn it, is this the third way of sacrifice?"
Guren cursed angrily, this time it seemed to be different from the last two times.
The first sacrifice method required self-mutilation and gully formation. The second sacrifice method required killing and trauma. This time the sacrifice method was also self-mutilation, but without the pull of gully formation, blood still poured into the twelve-foot-long Jashin phantom.
The most important point is: the person who sacrificed this time was the host of the sacrifice ceremony, and after the blood poured into the Jashin phantom, unprecedented changes occurred!
Sato Hideaka also stared closely at the changes taking place on the altar...
The twelve-foot-long phantom of Jashin seemed unstable. As the blood inside surged, the image became blurred. Then, under the control of an invisible force, endless bloody energy twisted and poured into the figure on the altar.
The ghost of Jashin was absorbed by Jashin Cult Leader?
Guren, Sato Hideaka, and all the ninjas were shocked. They saw Jashin Cult Leader sucking the twelve-foot-long Jashin shadow into the body, and then a blood-colored coat emerged from the body surface, and endless bloody air surged on the body surface, just like Partial Tailed Beast Transformation's Jinchūriki...
Jashin Cult Leader held the bottom of Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe inserted into the altar with his left hand. As the bloody air covered it, obvious changes occurred on Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe. After a while, a sickle appeared and transformed into Bloody Four-Bladed Scythe.
The shadow of Jashin above the head has disappeared, and the remaining blood in the ravine has stopped moving...
The sacrificial ceremony is over!
"Haha, you idiots. Didn't you think... Even if the sacrificial ceremony cannot be completed, as long as it is half completed, I can gain part of Lord Jashin's power through self-sacrifice, and you all have to die... die here!"
Jashin Cult Leader's face began to distort and collapse, his expression was exaggerated and terrifying, his movements and words were powerful and frantic, and his blood-red eyes looked at the people under the altar as if they were looking down on all living beings.
"Now the trouble..., there is no information about the other party at all."
Guren's eyes looked very solemn, and he held the sharp samurai sword tightly with both hands.
Sato Hideaka stood aside, feeling the ominous, bloody and murderous atmosphere emanating from Jashin Cult Leader's body. He took a deep breath and said, "Captain, what should we do now, strategic evacuation or continue fighting...?"
"Judging from the aura scattered all over his body, his strength should be between that of a quasi-Kage Level and an elite jounin, and I'm afraid he has not mastered the new power. His fighting style cannot keep up with his strength, and he cannot display the corresponding strength. Keep fighting, I will be the main attack..."
Guren looked at Jashin Cult Leader who suddenly jumped off the altar and rushed towards his ninja team, and loudly ordered, "Water Release ninjas prepare, aim at Jashin Cult Leader and release a large-scale Water Release Ninjutsu."
Following Guren's command, the six Water Release ninjas stepped forward one after another and quickly completed Hand Seals on their chests. They took a sharp breath and then their chests rose high. They gathered chakra in their throats and exhaled it in one breath. Six Paths water was spit out from their mouths.
"Water Release·Water Release: Wild Water Wave."
Six Paths The water flows gathered together in the air, turning up the turbulent water and rushing toward Jashin Cult Leader with great force and astonishing momentum!
Jashin Cult Leader shouted angrily, with a frantic and ferocious air, and swung out the Bloody Four-Bladed Scythe in his hand. As the ground exploded, a bloody sword energy cut off the ground and went towards the huge amount of water Water Release Ninjutsu released by the six ninjas.
The bloody sword energy cut the wild water in half, exposing the rocks on the ground!
As the top of the water released by Water Release: Wild Water Wave was cut open, Jashin Sect stepped on the cut water to expose the rocks at the bottom. He jumped with both feet to avoid the turbulent first half of the rapids and jumped to the relatively calm second half of the water.
With both feet stamped on the water, Jashin Sect master waved Bloody Four-Bladed Scythe in his hand, heading towards Guren, Sato Hideaka and others fifty meters away.
I saw Jashin Cult Leader cut the water surface with the bloody knife energy released by Bloody Four-Bladed Scythe...
Guren looked solemn, and the long sword held tightly in both hands turned blue. There seemed to be a wisp of breeze in the air, and the air began to flow. This was one of the signs that the weapon was blessed by wind chakra and had changed in nature.
When Sato Hideaka saw Guren who was about to rush out, he quickly reminded, "Be careful not to have any contact with his sickle..."
"Well, I know."
Guren nodded, the chakra in his feet exploded, and his whole body suddenly rushed out!
Blood red, wind green! (To be continued.
