Inside the dark cell, Hidan remained in a dazed state.
Splash...
A bucket of cold water was poured over his head, which jolted him awake.
Hidan, do you remember me?
Hidan nodded; how could he not remember the person who had taken him away from Yugakure?
"I am now the leader of the Jashin Cult, and you are its Jashin Cult son. Your actions are incomprehensible to me. Why would you slaughter your own comrade?"
"What's wrong with sacrificing them to the Lord Jashin?" Hidan righteously.
"Don't lie to me. You just want to vent your bloodlust. I saw that in your eyes when we first met."
You are pure darkness, despising peace and reveling in the pleasure of killing.
"So what if it is? I just love killing. The suffering of my enemies excites me, and it also pleases the Lord Jashin. What's wrong with that?"
"That's good, but if you act so recklessly and without regard for the rules, it will be difficult for you to survive in the Shinobi World."
"Hahaha... I am immortal, no one can kill me."
This kid, relying on his immortality, has begun to completely let himself go, looking down on everyone, and a rebellious streak is slowly growing in his head.
"Then why are you here?" Aoki Tsuki asked in return.
Hidan silent, the terrifying visions still lingering in his mind: the vengeful spirits of those he had killed had become his own, tearing at his soul.
Genjutsu?
"Although you have obtained some of the Jashin's power, it does not mean that you are truly immortal. If you cannot replenish your energy for a long time, you will starve to death."
Remember, even Jashin are banished; don't forget, this is the world of ninjas.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?"
Hidan, realizing his weakness, decisively admitted Hidan. He was crazy, not really stupid.
"I want you to kill according to the rules of the ninja world."
What rules?
"To put it bluntly, it's a mission. Ninjas accept a commission from their employers and complete the mission according to the agreement, physically eliminating the enemies encountered in the mission."
That's what's acceptable, not indiscriminate killing.
"I see."
Hidan shrugged. As a ninja, he was naturally familiar with this procedure; it seemed like everyone did it this way.
"I'll release you once you've made up your mind. Do as I say, and there will be endless enemies waiting for you to sacrifice; otherwise, you'll die a horrible death."
The ninja world has many secret techniques that can counter you, so take it easy.
Just then, the Land of Grass sent out a mission to hire members of the Jashin Cult to help them win the war, a mission that was perfect for Hidan.
Considering the Jashin Cult, it's unlikely anyone would want to team up with Hidan.
Thus, young Hidan had to carry the much larger Triple-Bladed Scythe alone and head to the northern battlefield of the Land of Grass to join the war.
He embraced war, a war that others would avoid at all costs.
As a religious ninja, he spreads the glory of Jashin and pleases Jashin by tasting suffering.
At the Jashin Research Institute, after continuous efforts by the team, the development of Lightning Release has finally yielded results.
At this moment, Aoki Tsuki quietly arrived at a small island near the Land of Hot Water to begin experimenting with his little toys, revealing his trump card.
The real trump card is what's hidden.
After years of exploration, he has completely mastered and absorbed the ' Gift of the Sages ', but he has become accustomed to the Thousand-Armed Kannon model.
For example, what he's projecting right now is his own image, an enlarged version of himself.
This is a vessel specifically designed to summon Thunder God Mode.
"Let it begin, may the Jashin protect you..."
As usual, Aoki Tsuki prayed in his heart; when it came to matters of life and death, he became a devout believer.
He then put the Thunder God Mask on his face, formed hand Hand Seals, and activated the mask using Lightning Release Chakra.
" Summoning Technique: Take-mi Thunder God "
"Ah... my Chakra..."
The mask frantically extracted Chakra from the meridians, while the Bagua diagram in the dantian began to rotate at high speed, continuously generating new Chakra and sending it into the meridians.
His muscles were visibly starting to sag.
"What's going on? Is he going to end up like Nagato?"
Aoki Tsuki was terrified; he finally understood the price of summoning Thunder God.
It represents vitality, corresponding to the destructive power of thunder.
Fortunately, black tadpole-like patterns appeared on the mask's surface at this moment, suppressing the absorption of Chakra, Pain's technique took effect.
Rumble...
Dark clouds had gathered in the sky, and the air mass at its center swirled slowly like Uzumaki, with lightning flashing and moving about.
thunderbolt!
A thick bolt of lightning struck straight down.
Fortunately, the vessel he condensed was strong enough to withstand the terrifying force.
This lightning bolt was merely a connecting line; the thunder from the center of the dark cloud poured down along this line like a viscous liquid.
The carrier was fused with blue lightning power, rapidly expanding and growing larger, soon exceeding a hundred meters in height, its entire body a blue and white color.
"Ah... ah... such power... I'll die if this continues."
Even though he converted his Chakra into lightning, he was still dizzy from the electric shock, and his long hair stood on end.
His vessel simply couldn't contain such terrifying energy.
In a critical moment, he had no choice but to channel the excess lightning power into the earth until he reached his limit before stopping.
Clang!
The blue-and-white giant beckoned with his right hand, Futsunomitama at his waist flew out automatically and was grasped in his hand, the blade rapidly enlarging.
"Huff... huff... it was still too much of a stretch."
At this moment, Aoki Tsuki had a splitting headache and felt a swelling sensation. Controlling such immense power was a burden for him with every movement.
Like a small horse pulling a large cart.
He had originally planned to take this opportunity to test two new Lightning Release techniques, but given the current situation, he should probably wait until he can master the Thunder God Mode.
" Lightning Burial!"
Aoki Tsuki used a move from his most familiar swordsmanship, slashing forward with his sword.
It didn't feel like wielding a knife at all, but rather like wielding a thunderous whip, unleashing a lightning tribulation upon the enemy.
Rumble...
Along the way, rocks turned to dust, vegetation turned to charcoal, and a black line several miles long appeared on the ground.
A violent force, destroying everything.
Buzz...
After the attack, the vessel could no longer hold on and collapsed on the spot, the power of the lightning dissipating into the air.
Aoki Tsuki collapsed to the ground, his cheeks sunken, emaciated and exhausted. His clothes seemed a size too big, and when lifted up, his ribs were clearly visible.
"I've become Nagato! What should I do?! Will Mimoto- nee dislike me?"
Now it's truly a case of a skinny horse pulling a heavy cart.
If this is the case, forget about fighting the enemy, you'd be drained dry first. This technique needs further optimization.
If the size is too large, it will be cumbersome, so it needs to be miniaturized to concentrate power and increase speed.
After eating the soldier's ration pills he carried with him and resting for two hours, he regained some strength, but the life force lost in his body could not be recovered in a short time.
Now even the Jashin Cult dared not return to Aoki Tsuki.
He himself was the head of the Jashin Cult, and he knew all too well what kind of people these were. If they saw him like this, they would probably take the opportunity to swarm him and kill him.
As the leader of a major villainous organization, he absolutely cannot return to his lair if he has health problems.
He was even more afraid of becoming an 'incompetent husband' and being disliked by Sister Mimoto.
"I didn't expect testing a Ninjutsu to turn out like this. I need to hurry home and replenish my energy."
Aoki Tsuki became unusually low-key, as if he had returned to his days as Chunin, and quietly sneaked back to Amegakure.
"What's going on? Why are you letting yourself get so wild?"
Konan's mouth gaped open in shock. Aoki Tsuki was even walking with a limp, making it hard for her not to overthink things.
Aoki Tsuki quickly explained, "It's not what you think. I've abstained from sex for a long time. This was an experiment with the Lightning Release summoning technique, and I didn't have enough Chakra..."
"I see."
It seemed she had misunderstood. A thought struck her, and she asked, "What do you want to do back here?"
"What else can I do in this state? Of course, I need to borrow some... blood to replenish my strength. Only Yurika can save me now."
"I knew it! You'll definitely want something if you go back to the village, huh!"
Konan's body instantly transformed into a paper butterfly and flew out the window. She was dissatisfied, but she couldn't just watch Aoki Tsuki panting there.
Nagato's ability to endure like this demonstrates the extraordinary vitality of the Uzumaki Clan, Aoki Tsuki is just an ordinary person.
Half an hour later, Yurika walked in hurriedly.
"Lord Tsuki... Ah... How did you become like this?" Yurika exclaimed, covering her mouth.
"Calm down, this is a side effect of my new technique experiment. I'm just sorry to trouble you with it."
"Okay, bite me."
Yurika rolled up her sleeves, revealing her rosy skin. After several years of recuperation, most of the old scars on her body had healed.
At least it's not as scary as it looked at first; you have to say the Uzumaki Clan has incredible vitality.
Aoki Tsuki, already desperate for a bite, grabbed the arm and bit down hard, causing Yurika to let out a wail.
"Ah...! Lord Yue, be gentle!"
Konan, standing outside the door, shuddered when she heard the voice, as it conjured up images of unspeakable scenes.
With Paper Clone monitoring the entire Amegakure, what hasn't they seen?
She even investigated the technicians that Aoki Tsuki frequently chose, and knew that this guy preferred plus-size figures.
Glug... Glug...
After drinking several sips, his strength gradually returned, and Aoki Tsuki stopped drinking on his own.
Seeing that Aoki Tsuki hadn't recovered yet, Yurika urged, "I'm alright, please continue."
Aoki Tsuki waved her hand and said, "I also have my limits. A couple of sips are enough. I'll recover after a while."
"Well... okay, please feel free to contact me if you need anything."
"Don't rush off, Yurika. We've known each other for quite a while now. What kind of person do you think I am?"
"Lord Yue works tirelessly alone outside for the safety of the village, just like Lord Pain, silently protecting it. Moreover, he is kind-hearted and gentle."
Holy crap, am I really that good?!
Aoki Tsuki felt a surge of joy upon hearing this.
