Only after Shinji finished explaining did Hidan realize he had been fooled by a trick that faked death. Otherwise, that last blow would definitely have killed his opponent!
Still, he had no regrets. He no longer thought much of the formidable opponent he had faced back then.
After all, he was a man who had faced the "God of Edginess" twice.
That kind of power was nothing some Demon of the Hidden Mist could compare to.
Of course, if the guy was willing to become his underling...
Hidan said he could grudgingly accept him. He would do, barely.
In short, he had probably gotten full of himself.
Soon, Shinji led the others to the grand Manor where Mira Peng lived.
He had not wanted to come, but if Zabuza was still in the Land of Waves, having Mira Peng search for him was undoubtedly the fastest option.
"Private property. Stop right there!"
As soon as they reached the gate, the guards stopped them.
Shinji took the Jashin Cult's silver emblem out of his clothes. "Take this to Mira Peng. Tell him it's time to repay the debt he owes."
Everything he said was true. Mira Peng did indeed owe him several lives.
But saying it that way made it sound as though he had come looking for trouble.
Sure enough, the guards at the gate immediately scowled at his words and prepared to drive them away by force.
Seeing this, Hidan rubbed salt in the wound with a mocking drawl. "Tsk, tsk. I told you, why bother with the front gate? We could've just gone straight in and found the guy. But no, coming through the front gate would make you look good. How's that working out? Did they knock your dignity onto the ground, or stomp it to pieces?"
