The Evil God's Fanatic!

At that moment, inside a palace within the stronghold.

Clang! Clang!

After colliding, the two figures swiftly flew apart and landed farther back.

Gekko Baiyue looked extremely disheveled. The fox mask she had originally worn on her face had also fallen onto the ground not far away.

What was wrong with this guy?

Gekko Baiyue crouched halfway down, gripping her short blade as she stared grimly at the man across from her, whose black hair was slicked back.

After she and Hyuga Setsuna had arranged a detailed plan, she came to this palace to infiltrate it and assassinate the black-haired, slicked-back man.

Everything had gone smoothly. Hyuga Setsuna drew away a large number of grunts and three Elite Chunin, while she swiftly dealt with several guards outside the palace and successfully infiltrated the place.

After sneaking inside, Gekko Baiyue saw the black-haired, slicked-back man resting and sleeping without the slightest guard up.

The assassination had gone incomparably smoothly. All it took was a light stab into the black-haired, slicked-back man's heart, and it was over?

The assassination had gone so smoothly that even she found it unbelievable!

But just when she thought the mission was over, the man whose heart she had clearly pierced with her short blade actually came back to life.

He kept muttering things like, "It hurts, it hurts," and "Evil God religion"!

Shouldn't a normal person go meet the Death God after having their heart pierced?

Why could this guy come back to life instead?

At the time, Gekko Baiyue had been completely dumbfounded. She had even thought it was a corpse rising.

It was not until the black-haired, slicked-back man swung a crimson double-bladed scythe at her that she reacted.

Gekko Baiyue realized that the black-haired, slicked-back man had not been killed by her at all.

After that, they had continued fighting.

During the battle, Gekko Baiyue carefully noticed that the man before her was completely trading injury for injury. No... it would be more accurate to say that he fought as though he did not care about his life.

He did not care how severe his injuries were, as though he possessed an Immortal Body.

But how could a human possibly have an Immortal Body?

Hidata Tetsuya had slicked-back black hair and pale violet pupils. Between his neck and collar hung a sinister triangular pendant.

Holding his crimson double-bladed scythe, Hidata Tetsuya wore an arrogant smile as he spoke to the badly battered Gekko Baiyue in the distance.

"Leaf Village Anbu, why won't you obediently surrender?"

"Once I catch you, I'll chop you up into a bloody, shattered, sticky mess!"

"I will sacrifice your beautiful body to the great Evil God. Then I will surely gain even greater power! Hahaha... haha!"

Gekko Baiyue stared solemnly at Hidata Tetsuya, continuously considering the information he had revealed.

Evil God?

Was the reason he had not died after his heart was pierced because of the Evil God he spoke of?

No... that was impossible. How could there possibly be an Evil God or any deity in this world?

The reason he had not died after his heart was pierced must have been some unique Forbidden Technique. Even that body of his, like an Immortal Body, was probably maintained through a Forbidden Technique!

He had deliberately revealed information about the Evil God just now because he wanted to mislead her.

It was likely because his Forbidden Technique had a time limit or some other restriction!

In that case, she would test him a little more.

Gekko Baiyue tightened her grip on the short blade in her right hand. Her left hand immediately formed a one-handed seal as she activated a technique and shouted softly.

"Tontton!"

As Gekko Baiyue's words fell, her body began gradually disappearing from top to bottom until she became invisible!

Standing in the middle of the palace, Hidata Tetsuya watched Gekko Baiyue vanish completely, and a faint bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sound rang out behind Hidata Tetsuya.

Along with it came three dazzling blade flashes, as beautiful and mournful as waning crescents!

"Leaf Style Kenjutsu: Dance of the Crescent Moon!"

"You think such feeble attacks can defeat me? Leaf Village Anbu, are you looking down on me?"

With a crazed and cruel expression, Hidata Tetsuya swung his double-bladed scythe behind him.

Bang! Bang!

Hidata Tetsuya blocked the attacks from Gekko Baiyue's short blade, while the two Shadow Clones beside her were struck apart and vanished into white smoke.

Hidata Tetsuya raised his crimson double-bladed scythe and continuously hacked at Gekko Baiyue. He did not care if his body was injured at all; after all, he had an Immortal Body!

Watching Gekko Baiyue struggle to defend against the slashes of his crimson double-bladed scythe, Hidata Tetsuya said arrogantly.

"Inside this palace, your secret technique for hiding yourself is useless against me!"

"Leaf Village Anbu, just obediently surrender and let me sacrifice you to the great Evil God!"

As Gekko Baiyue continuously defended against the crimson scythe's attacks, she kept calculating their positions and slowly guided Hidata Tetsuya toward the trap she had set!

In her eyes, the guy before her had no brains at all. Even his attacks were nothing but wild, random slashes, with no combat experience whatsoever. He was only arrogant because his Forbidden Technique allowed him to remain undying.

As long as she set a small trap, this guy would fall for it!

Then she could kill him!

As they continued exchanging attacks, they had already reached beneath one of the palace's pillars.

At that moment, Gekko Baiyue seemed to be running out of stamina, and her short blade's defense was a beat slower as well.

Hidata Tetsuya's face twisted into a cruel smile as he swung his crimson scythe down with all his might!

Just as Gekko Baiyue was about to die, she suddenly turned into a puff of white smoke and vanished.

Clearly, the Gekko Baiyue who had been fighting Hidata Tetsuya all this time was only a Shadow Clone.

The real body had already lain in ambush, merely waiting for the final opportunity to assassinate him!

On top of the palace pillar, Gekko Baiyue no longer maintained her Tontton. Gripping her short blade, she leaped down from the pillar and shouted.

"Secret Sword: Moon Shadow!"

In an instant, she turned into several moonlight-like figures, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake!

At the same time, the short blade in her hand seemed to transform into a flawless full moon of blade light as it stabbed toward the completely defenseless Hidata Tetsuya!

Squelch!

A short blade viciously pierced Hidata Tetsuya's heart, and blood slowly flowed from his chest like crimson sin!

Hidata Tetsuya lowered his head to look at the short blade that had once again pierced his chest. Then, with his right hand, he slowly tightened his grip around the blade. A bloodthirsty smile abruptly spread across his lips as he said.

"You fell for it, Leaf Village Anbu! I told you, didn't I? Inside this palace, your secret technique is useless against me!"

The moment Gekko Baiyue noticed the bloodthirsty smile on Hidata Tetsuya's face, she realized something was wrong.

Just as she tried to retreat, a tremendous force suddenly seized her. At the same time, a crimson scythe came crashing down at her!

Bang!

A huge, muffled sound rang through the palace. Gekko Baiyue barely pulled out her short blade in time to block the crimson scythe's attack, but she was immediately kicked flying afterward!

Her right hand, which gripped the short blade, had also been cut open by the crimson scythe, leaving a deep wound!

Amid the scattered rubble, Gekko Baiyue barely supported herself with her short blade and looked toward Hidata Tetsuya. What she saw made her witness an extremely horrifying sight!

Second update complete!

I feel like the Tenseigan shouldn't appear too easily!

What do you all think!!!
