How Did This Curse End Up on the Rabbit?

With a flick of the sickle blade, it grazed the back of Wu Chiwu's hand.

Hidan's eyes narrowed to the size of pinpoints as he stared intently at the scratch.

Even a small scratch would be fine.

Just a tiny bit of blood is enough.

Before long, Hidan noticed a small red dot on the tip of his scythe.

"Haha..." His grin almost reached his ears.

"So Lord Jashin is still on my side after all!"

"Wu Chiwu, I'll deal with you on God's behalf right now!"

Hidan scrambled his right foot across the ground, drawing a strange shape.

Beneath the dappled shadows of the trees, the bright red pattern appeared even more eerie.

He yanked the chain back, pulling the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe back, and licked the blood that had smeared onto the blade with the tip of his tongue.

I've cursed you!

"Let the ceremony begin!"

Hidan's expression immediately became extremely serious.

Everyone else around them unconsciously held their breath.

Shikamaru frowned, his gaze lingering on Hidan several times.

What the hell is going on?

What makes that guy so certain?

What exactly is he planning to do?

I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen.

Choji also realized something was off.

"That guy named Hidan suddenly seems incredibly confident."

What just happened?

Wu Chiwu should be in the lead right now.

How could he still laugh so freely?

Ino muttered along with her.

"Yeah, the way he laughs gives you the creeps."

That smile was truly sinister.

What exactly is he trying to do?

Kakashi didn't move his mouth, but his eyes turned cold for a moment.

He took two steps forward, trying to forcefully interrupt Hidan's actions.

His intuition told him he couldn't let that guy continue.

Otherwise, some unexpected trouble might arise.

Hopefully, things won't escalate too much.

Kakashi's thoughts ran deep.

"Hmph." Kakuzu stepped forward, completely blocking Kakashi.

"I won't let you get away with Hidan."

"Now, your opponent is me!"

Xiao sent the two of them to chase Wu Chiwu because he valued their special skills.

Both of them possess immortal bodies, and Hidan also holds the power of a curse.

As long as he can get his hands on Wu Chiwu's blood, his life is sealed.

Wu Chiwu's moves become less effective against opponents with two or more lives.

His pairing with Hidan is a perfect way to completely Wu Chiwu.

Hidan has already obtained the blood today, and the outcome is pretty much decided.

"Is that so?" Kakashi's voice deepened slightly.

"That's not necessarily true."

He channeled Chakra into his right palm, his gaze unwavering as he stared intently at Kakuzu.

I have to give it a shot, no matter what!

Kakuzu shook his head.

"Even if you rush over there now, it'll be too late; the ceremony has already begun."

"What do you mean?" Shikamaru, who was standing next to Kakashi, interjected.

Kakuzu glanced at Hidan, who was about to begin the ceremony, then turned back to the Konoha ninja.

Anyway, Wu Chiwu is going to be cursed to death soon, and the rest of the group probably won't be able to escape from his and Hidan's grasp.

It's not a big deal to bring things up now.

Kakuzu unusually offered a few more words of explanation.

"No one who has their blood taken by Hidan and then consumes the cursed food survives."

"He already has Wu Chiwu's blood in his hands; he's definitely going to die from the curse."

"Whatever injuries Hidan sustains, that kid will suffer the same ones exactly the same way."

The Konoha Ninja opposite him all changed their expressions upon hearing this.

What?

how so?

How could such Ninjutsu exist in the world?

What's worse is that Hidan is practically indestructible.

Wu Chiwu doesn't have that kind of constitution.

That means...

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Wu Chiwu.

At that moment, Wu Chiwu completely bewildered as Hidan burst into laughter.

What's wrong with this guy?

Laughing like that, isn't that weird?

Hidan showed no sign of stopping; on the contrary, he laughed even harder, muttering to himself.

"Lord Jashin protect us, and may everything go smoothly!"

He pointed the spear at himself with his right hand, and then plunged it in with a loud thud.

This is one way to use the Death Controlling Possessed Blood.

As long as a person stands inside the magic circle, if he stabs himself with a spear, all the damage will be transferred to the target.

They can find all sorts of ways to torment their opponents, and if they strike a vital point, they can kill them outright.

Wu Chiwu, you're completely out of luck!

Hidan looked up and uttered a cold, emotionless remark to Wu Chiwu.

Those who don't understand how much pain others feel will be punished by God!

Before he could finish speaking, the spear had already pierced through Hidan's body.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat as they watched him thrust so decisively.

Broken!

According to Kakuzu, Wu Chiwu should be suffering the same injury by now.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Wu Chiwu, their eyes filled with worry.

But Wu Chiwu's reaction next stunned them all.

Wu Chiwu rested his chin on his hand, his tone quite honest.

"I never expected you to have this kind of problem?"

You really can't blindly believe in cults!

They're really leading people astray!

He leaned lazily against the tree trunk, glancing indifferently at Hidan across from him.

"How is that possible?" Hidan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

How come you're completely unharmed?

"Why aren't you injured?"

Wu Chiwu, I clearly got his blood!

Why did the ritual stop working?

That's absolutely impossible!

Hidan asked what was on his mind.

"Why should I be in trouble?" Wu Chiwu raised his hand to wipe the bandage on his forehead, his tone as calm as if he were talking about the weather.

What are you thinking about?

Seeing his nonchalant expression, Hidan began to lose his composure.

"I clearly got your blood," he stubbornly insisted.

"Anyone whose blood I get will die."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chiwu lowered his head and pondered for a long while.

After a long while, he slowly raised his head.

"Blood?"

"I don't have any injuries at all."

Where did you get the blood?

With Limitless Cursed Technique on my body, how could I possibly get a scratch?

Wu Chiwu rested his chin on his hand and shook his head.

"Impossible." Hidan refused to admit it no matter what.

"I clearly took your blood. The scythe clearly sliced across the back of your hand just now, and it's stained with your blood."

Hidan simply refused to believe Wu Chiwu's explanation at this moment.

If there was no cut, then where did the blood come from?

It's impossible for Wu Chiwu to know his abilities in advance and prepare a backup plan beforehand.

Hidan waved his hand dismissively: That's absolutely impossible!

Besides, he had never shown this move to Wu Chiwu before, so how did Wu Chiwu find out about it?

Hidan was stuck in a dead end when a voice suddenly jolted him awake.

"Oh no!" Wu Chiwu clapped his hands, his expression instantly becoming several degrees serious.

"Doesn't that mean...?"

He could now clearly see the dark bloodstains on his right hand.

In that brief moment of distraction, he suddenly understood everything.

The blood on Wu Chiwu's hands wasn't his own; it was from the rabbit he had just picked up.

in other words...

Hidan's curse ritual ended up affecting that fragrant rabbit?

Ah, this.

Wu Chiwu moved two steps to the side, walked to a tree, sighed softly, bent down and picked up the rabbit that was lying by the tree root.

The rabbit in front of him was treated the same as Hidan; it had been stabbed right through the stomach, and blood was still seeping out.

Wu Chiwu up straight, holding the rabbit in his hand and dangling it.

Following his movements, everyone saw the rabbit, and then noticed the all-too-familiar wound, and immediately understood what had happened.

So that's what happened all along!

It really is...

Nobody expected this!

Hidan, having witnessed the scene, was enraged and his killing intent surged forth.

"Wu Chiwu!" he roared.

I'm going to kill you!

How dare you blaspheme the Lord Jashin!

Not far away, Wu Chiwu was carrying the rabbit, his expression still somewhat innocent.

He looked at the enraged Hidan and spoke in a serious tone.

"Don't rush, I have something to ask you."

"Just one question."

"By the way, can a rabbit that's been Jujutsu still be stewed and eaten?"
