Hidan

Then, Uzumaki Hane emerged from within and said to Uesugi I, who was approaching, "Let's go to the next black market location."

Uesugii exclaimed, "Uzumaki Hane, are you going to continue? You've already destroyed one of their strongholds; they won't let you get away with this!"

Uzumaki Hane didn't care at all, and said, "What's the difference between destroying one stronghold and destroying two?"

Uesugi I paused for a moment upon hearing this.

Uzumaki Hane continued, "And it's not just me, it's us."

Uesugi I immediately shouted, "What does this have to do with me?"

Uzumaki Hane said, "You've been with me the whole time, do you think they'll let you go?"

Uesugi I realized what was happening and said, "Oh no, Uzumaki Hane, you've got me in big trouble."

"Alright, let's go," said Uzumaki Hane.

Looking at the resolute Uzumaki Hane, Uesugii sighed, "My life is truly miserable."

The two moved quickly through the forest.

Suddenly, a sickle-shaped weapon slashed towards the two of them.

With Uzumaki Hane Yu pulled out a Kunai and blocked the scythe. Clang! The scythe, connected to a black rope, was pulled back by its owner.

Uzumaki Hane immediately recognized the scythe as Hidan's Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe. Uzumaki Hane looked at the attacker, who had short, slicked-back silver hair, purplish-red eyes, and wore a black robe embroidered with red clouds. It was Kakuzu's partner, Hidan, who possessed an immortal body.

Uesugii had already noticed that the other person was wearing the exact same clothes as Kakuzu, clearly indicating they were accomplices. He said, "Uzumaki Hane, could this be...?"

Uzumaki Hane also looked grave, saying, "That's right, this is Kakuzu's partner." He had already had to flee in a sorry state just from Kakuzu; now with Hidan added to the mix, it seemed today would be quite dangerous.

Upon hearing this, Hidan said, "You know me, but Kakuzu has disappeared somewhere, chasing after you. Well, I'll just kill you then. Since Kakuzu around, no one will nag me about my ritual. I'm going to offer you to the Jashin; it should be quite delicious. But Kakuzu is always unhappy with my rituals. Maybe next time I should just curse him." Hidan started rambling on.

Knowing that Kakuzu come, Uzumaki Hane was relieved. To be honest, Uzumaki Hane wasn't afraid of Hidan at all. Hidan's strength lay in his immortality and the cursed ritual he called the Jashin Cult, the forbidden technique Death Controlling Possessed Blood. However, that forbidden technique required the blood of the cursed person, and Uzumaki Yu's elemental transformation was his nemesis. As for his so-called immortality, as long as Uzumaki Yu used the Magma-Magma Fruit to burn him to ashes, even if his head survived, it would be useless.

Then, Uzumaki Hane unleashed several Shuriken, Hidan quickly deflected Shuriken one by one with the black rope in his hand. Then, the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe came crashing down on Uzumaki Hane's head.

Uzumaki Hane dodged the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe by sidestepping, Hidan revealed an evil smile. Watching all this, he wasn't afraid that Uzumaki Hane had dodged his attack; as long as he could get a little blood, that was enough. With a flick of his left hand, the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe instantly flew back, slashing towards Uzumaki Hane's back.

Seeing this, Uesugii shouted, "Uzumaki Hane, watch out behind you!"

Uzumaki Hane already knew Hidan's methods. Just as the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe about to strike his back, he leaped up and dodged it.

Then, a lava Kunai appeared in Uzumaki Hane's hand and shot it at Hidan. Hidan drew a sword from his waist with his right hand, cut the Kunai down, and then quickly rushed towards Uzumaki Hane.

Then, with a sudden swing of his left hand, the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe instantly appeared in front of Uzumaki Hane Yu, slashing down. Uzumaki Hane's figure flashed, dodging the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe. Hidan had already rushed in front of him, holding his sword horizontally in front of Yu, the blade aimed at Uzumaki Hane, and Uzumaki Hane towards him.

Uzumaki Hane raised his Kunai and, clang, blocked Hidan's sword. With a forceful push, Uzumaki Hane Yu sent Hidan. Using the Hidan, Hidan did a backflip, and in mid-air, he swung his left hand, sending the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe hurtling towards Uzumaki Hane.

Uzumaki Hane shouted, "Magma Wall!" A Magma Wall rose up in front of him, blocking the scythe. Hidan then retracted his Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe. Crack! The wall shattered.

Uzumaki Hane rushed towards Hidan, but Hidan dodged and the two clashed. Clang! Uzumaki Hane's Kunai and Hidan's sword collided in a single blow.

Uzumaki Hane suddenly turned around and rushed in front of Hidan in the blink of an eye. Hidan raised his Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe and swung it down. Uzumaki Hane held Kunai in his right hand and blocked it. Clang! The kunai blocked Hidan's Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe Kunai. Hidan tried to press the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe down with all his might, but Uzumaki Hane's Kunai Fudō.

Hidan hadn't expected Uzumaki Hane to be so strong, and he couldn't suppress him. He snorted coldly and raised the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe, sweeping it horizontally towards Uzumaki Hane's waist.

If it were anyone else, seeing Hidan make such an attack, they would have seized the opportunity to stab him in the heart. But Uzumaki Hane knew that Hidan was immortal, so even if you managed to stab his heart, it wouldn't matter. So Uzumaki Hane flashed away, dodging the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe, and then kicked Hidan hard, the immense force sending him flying.

Instead of continuing her attack, Uzumaki Hane stood still, looking down at him.

Hidan felt his blood rushing to his head and shouted, "You brat, I'm going to make you a bloody mess, a complete pulverizer!" He gripped the blood-shaped Triple-Bladed Scythe in both hands and charged towards Uzumaki Hane.

He wielded the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe in his hand rapidly, but Uzumaki Hane always managed to dodge his attacks at crucial moments. If he couldn't avoid them, he would block the scythe with Kunai, but none of them could even scratch a hair on Uzumaki Hane's head. Especially on several occasions when he was about to trade blows, Uzumaki Hane seemed to know his intentions and didn't fall for it, which made him feel extremely frustrated.

Hidan charged towards Uzumaki Hane, shouting, "I'm going to use you for the ritual!" Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe with his left hand, aiming it at Uzumaki Hane. Uzumaki Hane, gripping Uzumaki Hane, Kunai. Clang! Liquid splattered from Uzumaki Hane's arm. Seeing this, Hidan immediately withdrew the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe, laughing eerily, "Now I can use you for the ritual. It'll hurt a lot, but I won't let you die so easily. Be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi I, who was behind him, sensed something was amiss and called out, "Uzumaki Hane, be careful!" But Uzumaki Hane's expression remained unchanged as he allowed Hidan to retrieve the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe.

Hidan assumed that Uzumaki Hane was unaware of his ritual, which was why he remained unmoved and continued to chuckle smugly.

Uzumaki Hane didn't want to waste time with him, otherwise it would be troublesome if they encountered Kakuzu, so she quickly rushed towards Hidan.

Hidan had already retrieved the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe. Seeing Uzumaki Hane rushing over, he chuckled and said, "It's too late... um..." Hidan noticed that the Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe wasn't covered in blood and exclaimed in surprise, "What is this?" At that moment, Uzumaki Hane had already rushed in front of him, his right hand instantly turning into lava and expanding to ten times its original size. He then slammed a punch into Hidan's face.

With a bang, Hidan was sent flying ten meters away, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling several times, even smashing through a few rocks.
