Nagato: I'll show you how laughable it is to challenge a god!

"Sometimes living was more terrifying than dying."

"Until your Lord Jashin comes down to save you himself, you can stay here as Experimental Material."

Naruto Uzumaki tossed Hidan's dismembered body onto the ground.

Soon,

Orochimaru emerged slowly from the shadows.

"Orochimaru?!"

Hidan's pupils contracted when he saw Orochimaru. What was this guy doing here?

"Naruto-kun, what's this...?"

Orochimaru asked curiously, looking at Hidan on the ground.

"A gift for you."

Naruto Uzumaki spoke flatly.

"As expected of Naruto-kun. Experimental Material this rare doesn't come along often."

Excitement gleamed in Orochimaru's eyes. He extended his tongue and licked his face.

Back when they were both in the Akatsuki, Hidan's Immortal Body had fascinated him.

He had never expected

Naruto to deliver Hidan right to him today.

"Bastards! How dare you humiliate a follower of Lord Jashin? You'll both die horribly!"

Orochimaru ignored Hidan's curses and began muttering to himself.

"Dissection, Vitality extraction, pulverization, corrosion-resistance tests, brain-destruction tests..."

"Which one should I start with?"

Seeing how excited Orochimaru was, Hidan felt afraid for the first time.

Just hearing those words made his scalp crawl.

He was a follower of Lord Jashin, not a lab rat!

"I'll leave Hidan to you."

"Rest assured, Naruto-kun."

"I might even have a surprise for you before long."

Orochimaru nodded to Naruto Uzumaki, then left with the still-cursing Hidan.

"Next, I suppose I'll go to Amegakure."

Naruto Uzumaki murmured as he watched Orochimaru take Hidan away.

Nagato called himself a god. Even after learning the truth, he probably wouldn't submit easily.

In that case, Naruto would challenge Nagato and show him how insignificant the power he took such pride in was.

If Nagato still refused to see reason, Naruto would simply kill him.

After all,

with the power Naruto possessed now,

Nagato couldn't defeat him even if
