Five kilometers away from the exchange, in an uninhabited open space, Li Chuan stopped and looked around, then nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, let's kill him here!"
"Here, kill who? It?"
Hidan turned his head to look. Besides a squirrel on a tree in front, he didn't find any other living creatures.
Kakuzu looked at Hidan with a look as if he was looking at an idiot.
"No, I need Mr. Hidan to help me use the Jashin ritual."
At this moment, Li Chuan smiled, turned around, and took out a glass bottle. Inside was the blood he had obtained from Danzo during the Hidden Leaf Village Destruction Plan.
When Kakuzu saw the glass bottle in Li Chuan's hand, he suddenly understood what the other party meant.
But Hidan over there refused.
"No, I don't agree. My faith doesn't allow me to kill people like this. I want to see the other party wail, suffer, and slowly die in my ritual under their desperate gaze. Lord Jashin likes to see these..."
"Shut up, you idiot!"
Kakuzu frowned upon hearing this. This was 300 million ryo.
"Hurry up and start. You can do the things you like during the next mission."
"Kakuzu, you need to respect my faith."
Hidan still shook his head.
"500 million ryo. If you still don't agree, then forget it."
Li Chuan put the bottle back into his storage.
Kakuzu turned to look at Hidan. Five strange masks wrapped in black threads slowly flew out from his trench coat:
"This is a mission, a mission that must be completed. I don't want to hear you refuse!"
"Alright, alright, then let me pray to Lord Jashin first."
Seeing that Kakuzu was serious, Hidan reluctantly took off his church necklace from his neck and began the prayer before the ritual.
There was no other way. Who told him he couldn't beat Kakuzu?
"You're always so troublesome."
Kakuzu put the masks back into his trench coat.
Hidan replied unhappily while praying:
"I also find it very troublesome, but the rules of our church are very strict, so I can't do anything about it."
After the prayer ended, Hidan took the bottle containing Danzo's blood from Li Chuan. First, he drew some blood from himself to draw the Jashin symbol on the ground, then he took out Danzo's blood from the bottle and began to complete the Jashin ritual.
"Alright, the mission is over. This kind of killing is too boring. This is the last time."
After the ritual was completed, Hidan took out a kunai and stabbed himself through the heart. Ignoring the blood flowing from his heart, his expression was very bored.
He liked killing, but he didn't like it like this, with no sense of accomplishment at all.
"Excuse me, the mission is not over yet. The person you killed can be resurrected eleven times. He won't die within one minute after each resurrection, so you need to kill him ten more times."
Li Chuan explained as he looked at Hidan, who was completely fine despite being stabbed through the chest.
The Earth in this World is actually not as simple as just Ninjutsu. Ninjutsu and Chakra only appeared after the Divine Tree.
In fact, before Otsutsuki Kaguya brought the Ten-Tails to Earth, there were some powers beyond the conventional ones on Earth besides samurai.
For example, the Three Great Sage Regions, as well as some witchcraft and divine arts, which still exist now, but many have been fused with external energy like Chakra and become more powerful.
Including some deities, such as the Death God of the Soul Reaper Seal, Hidan's Jashin, the Thousand-Armed Kannon and Fudō Myōō in the Fire Temple's Ninjutsu, the Hell Path of the Rinnegan, the Rashomon and Myōjinmon summoned from other realms, and so on.
In short, if you delve deeper, it's also a very complex World.
"What? I have to do this boring thing ten more times?"
Upon hearing this, Hidan immediately wanted to go on strike again.
Li Chuan directly turned to look at Kakuzu. Kakuzu went forward to soothe and threaten him for a while before Hidan finally agreed to continue working.
One minute later, Hidan stabbed himself again. Another minute later, Hidan continued to stab his heart. After stabbing himself ten times in a row, Hidan finally exploded.
No matter what Kakuzu said, or even if he was about to fight on the spot, he refused to continue, because he felt that he had been insulted and his faith had been insulted.
And Kakuzu couldn't really fight Hidan. Hidan had no brain, but he couldn't be brainless and let his temper run wild.
Although he had already planned to send the annoying Hidan to meet his Jashin after the organization's mission was completely completed.
"How about this, we've killed your target ten times, and there's one more time. You'll pay 400 million ryo, no problem, right?"
Kakuzu turned to look at Li Chuan.
But Li Chuan didn't speak. After the tenth kill and the one-minute cooldown ended, he directly activated the Eight Gates's Gate of Opening and Gate of Rest. His body turned into an afterimage and appeared in front of Hidan, who was standing within the formation.
"Alright, the eleventh time. Your mission is complete. I will pay you 500 million ryo as agreed."
He took out a long sword from his mission space and pierced Hidan through the heart with one strike.
His main goal was Danzo's last Mangekyo Sharingan, so how could he agree to Kakuzu's condition?
Since Hidan refused to do it, he would do it himself.
Anyway, as long as the ritual was not over and the formation was not destroyed, the effect would be the same whether Hidan self-mutilated or someone else did it.
To be honest, Hidan's strength was his curse technique and his immortality. In other aspects, he wasn't very good.
He basically didn't know any other Ninjutsu, and his taijutsu was at most Jonin level.
Hidan's situation was that if you didn't know his information, even a Shadow Level expert who had their blood taken by him and performed the Jashin ritual would be cursed to death.
But if you knew his information, he was actually the weakest guy among the Akatsuki members.
Although his immortality gained through Jashin's power was powerful, if you were careful not to let him get your blood, you could stop him from resurrecting by controlling him, dismembering him, and burying him in different places.
That is Shikamaru's method.
There were also other methods, such as using large-scale Water Release to prevent him from performing the Jashin ritual, controlling his mind with genjutsu, sealing his body with Sealing Jutsu, using Edo Tensei Ninja, and so on.
As long as you knew his information in advance, there were really many ways to deal with him. It was hard to compare him with someone like Kakuzu, who had genuine hard power.
"You guy, how dare you do this to me!"
Hidan saw that Li Chuan actually dared to stab him with a sword. The grievance and anger from his faith being insulted completely erupted.
He immediately pulled out the long sword from his chest and threw it on the ground, drew a new ritual symbol, picked up his scythe-shaped weapon, and was about to make Li Chuan personally experience the power of his curse technique.
At this time, he didn't care about the mission or the money.
Seeing this, Kakuzu immediately wanted to stop him. He didn't mind Hidan cursing the other party after the payment was made, but since the other party hadn't paid yet, he naturally couldn't just kill him like that.
However, in the next second, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he froze on the spot.
"Avada Kedavra!"
It turned out that when Li Chuan saw Hidan wanted to kill himself, he directly took out the elder wand and, with a speed far exceeding the other party, approached him and shot a green Killing Curse at Hidan's head.
And Hidan, who had an immortal body that could even merge back together after being cut into countless pieces, after being hit by the Killing Curse, his eyes lost their luster, and he fell directly to the ground, just like that, he died.
"It seems your immortality is limited to the body, not the soul."
Li Chuan looked down at the dead Hidan and murmured.
