chapter 97 part 3
Roshi looked up, his face already on the verge of being swallowed by the red-black Chakra. He snorted coldly, "Seeking death! In Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, I can burn you to ashes in an instant. Let's see how you survive that!"
Hidan rushed in front of Roshi, wildly swinging his scythe as if to cut Roshi in half at the waist. But his next action caught everyone off guard.
*Pffft!*
Hidan aimed the scythe blade at himself, plunging it into his own abdomen. He shrieked, enduring the intense pain, and pulled it horizontally! A large amount of Blood gushed out. Before Roshi could react, Minato, following close behind Hidan, formed a Rasengan and plunged it directly through Hidan's torn abdomen, slamming it into Roshi!
"This... what kind of tactic is this?"
Roshi was stunned again. He felt his understanding had been completely shattered once more.
In his current state, even taking a direct Rasengan wouldn't cause much injury, but he would never give Minato a chance to attack him with a Rasengan. He would always block it with his tails.
But... what was happening now? To allow Minato to attack him, the Undying Body brat didn't hesitate to cut himself in half at the waist?
Playing such high stakes?
*Boom!* For the first time, the Rasengan hit Roshi's body squarely, erupting with a buzzing sound.
The high-frequency churning in a short time did indeed injure Roshi, but the damage caused was even less than the loss Roshi sustained from the violent invasion of Tailed Beast Chakra when he entered Partial Tailed Beast Transformation! "Just this? How naive. Your judgment is not enough to stand before me."
Roshi was a very serious person, but now he pulled the corners of his mouth, opened it, and roared. Chakra erupted, sending both Minato and Hidan flying.
This also meant that Roshi had completed his Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, his strength reaching a peak in that stage.
"Game over, brat. Now, witness true terror!" Roshi spread his arms, his tails thrashing wildly behind him. Visibly condensed Chakra formed plumes of smoke, hovering above him.
Minato caught his breath, looking at Hidan, who was almost split in two, beside him. "How is it? Did it work?"
"It worked. He's right, now he'll witness true terror... but he'll feel it himself!"
Hidan looked up, pain and excitement contorting his face. He opened his palm, revealing the Blood he had so painstakingly obtained, gazing at it as if it were a rare treasure, then greedily licked it with his tongue.
He even smacked his lips with affected seriousness, looking exactly like a madman.
Minato nodded heavily. Although he didn't understand why Hidan was doing this, since he had chosen to trust Hidan, he wouldn't question it further. He would just wait for Hidan to perform.
"Wah-ah-ah-ah, what in the world is going on? Why did he harm himself? Minato's Rasengan didn't achieve anything at all, it only worsened his injuries!"
Dekai was dumbfounded. He no longer understood this battle. His gaze fell blankly on Hidan's almost torn-apart waist.
"Next, is the ultimate terror. For the first time performing the ritual, no amount of solemnity is too much!"
Hidan received Shizune's treatment, coupled with his own powerful Life Force, quickly stopping the bleeding in his empty abdomen and growing a large amount of new flesh and blood.
He pushed Shizune away, inscribing strange Jutsu Formula on the ground with his feet.
Roshi immediately charged over. This time, Hyuga Takashi tried to use Eight Trigrams Air Palm, but it was no longer enough to push Roshi back.
As Roshi swung his tails behind him, this time he didn't use Taijutsu. Sensing something was wrong, he instantly formed a Tailed Beast Bomb, swallowed it, and unleashed a terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb beam directly at Hidan!
No one dared to stand in front of such an attack.
In the original Timeline, when Naruto grew his fourth tail and entered Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, losing his sanity, the attack he unleashed could break through Orochimaru's Triple Rashomon.
Hidan, of course, couldn't block it. If he didn't do something, he would be blasted to smithereens in an instant.
"Leave it to me!"
In a flash, Hidan's expression twisted. He formed Hand Kaedegns, and his figure instantly vanished from his spot, replaced by a Zombie.
*Rumble!*
When the terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb beam dissipated, Hidan's previous location was empty.
Roshi thought he had completely killed Hidan, but Hidan's voice came from the other side.
"Hahahaha, didn't expect that, did you? I can also use Spatial Rift Jutsu! Although I'm not proficient... it's enough for me to complete the Jashin Ritual: Death Controlling Possessed Blood! You die, you hear me!!"
Hidan redrew a complete Jutsu Formula, yelling, and once again stabbed himself in the abdomen.
"Hmm?"
Roshi's body suddenly stumbled, and his hands similarly moved as if gripping something, swinging at his own stomach. He instinctively wanted to look down but found he couldn't move.
A real, phantom pain severely disrupted his thoughts and exceeded his comprehension.
"My stomach was ripped open from thin air... What's going on?" Roshi couldn't believe it, desperately trying to glance at Hidan's abdomen with his peripheral vision.
The wounds were identical – the depth, the angle, everything showed corresponding proportions, absolutely identical! "Heh, you noticed? It took so much effort to succeed. You Jinchuriki are really tough to deal with, but now that I've got you, it means you're dead for sure. No one can escape my Jashin Ritual: Death Controlling Possessed Blood!"
Hidan then cut his own thigh. Intense pain spread throughout his body, bringing an expression of extreme pleasure to his face. Saliva even dribbled from his mouth, and he involuntarily let out a morbid moan.
"Ah ah ah ah~ This feeling, it's exquisite..."
Hidan continuously inflicted severe injuries upon himself.
Each time he made a move, Roshi had to perform the exact same action, and then an identical wound appeared on Roshi's body.
This Jutsu, completely defying the laws of conventional Ninjutsu, left Roshi dumbfounded, and everyone who witnessed it was equally bewildered.
They had never seen anything like it.
"So that's how the Jutsu is performed. Truly remarkable. To think such a terrifying Jutsu exists in this world... What's its name?" Minato looked enlightened. He understood everything.
The crucial medium was Blood. Everything they had done earlier, ultimately, was to get Hidan a drop of Roshi's Blood.
