Swish!
A flash of red light flickered in the rat-headed man's eyes. His eyes were filled with hatred, but he could only watch helplessly as…
"Die, die, die… Hahahaha!"
Amidst Hidan's frenzied laughter, the rat-headed man, who had previously healed his injuries with reverse cursed technique and fought back, was chopped into a bloody pulp after a fierce battle.
Under these circumstances, even the powerful life force of a Special-Grade curse spirit was no match for death.
"Hidan-senpai, Hidan-senpai? This guy's already dead…"
Seeing Hidan still wildly hacking away, completely ignoring the blood and gore splattering on him, Tobi immediately sensed something was wrong.
Hidan heard him and immediately looked at Tobi, who was startled.
Hidan's eyes were filled with a murderous intent. After stopping his actions, he seemed to want to kill Tobi directly.
Hidan's naturally violent personality, coupled with the negative effects of [Fanatic Follower], caused him to be deeply immersed in the pleasure of killing, unable to extricate himself.
"Uh, Hidan-senpai… it's me, calm down."
Hidan didn't say a word, swinging the Bloody March Scythe down at Tobi's head.
With a "bang," the blade sank into the ground at its base!
Looking at Tobi, he was already running away with comically exaggerated steps, tens of meters away.
"Shinjirou-senpai, save me~~~ Hidan-senpai's menopause is back, and he's started swinging his weapon around randomly."
Tobi cried out while controlling his distance and running towards the Mist Hidden Village.
Hidan, on the other hand, angrily chased after him.
...…
Puff!
As Shiji's blade killed the last curse spirit, all the remaining mutated rats suddenly died en masse. The crisis for Mist Hidden was temporarily resolved.
Next, as long as Mei successfully killed the enemy and returned safely, the crisis would be completely over.
Despite heavy losses, they could usher in a period of precious recuperation.
But if Mei, the Mizukage, were to meet with misfortune…
It was likely that Mist Hidden's demise would be witnessed.
[Exorcised Special-Grade Curse Spirit - Rat King, gained 10,000 Curse Soul Points]
Suddenly, the system's notification sounded again.
Shiji blinked in surprise before realizing that Hidan must have successfully defeated the enemy.
Because Hidan was his bonded character with a kinship value of 1,000 points, even from this distance, he received 100% of the exorcism rewards for all curse spirits killed by Hidan.
Combined with the reward he received for a Special-Grade curse spirit he "picked up" and the Curse Soul Points from killing and getting finishing blows earlier, he now possessed 50,800 Curse Soul Points!
It could be said that he had become rich overnight!
It was a shame that those mutated rats were worthless and didn't give any Curse Soul Points, otherwise, he could have farmed at least a few thousand more.
"As expected, war is the fastest way to make money."
This trip was definitely worth it!
With all enemies eliminated, many Mist ninjas slumped to the ground, exhausted. Looking at the corpses scattered everywhere, a somber atmosphere began to spread.
"Thank you for your assistance. May I ask your name? And why do you possess our Mist Hidden's Executioner's Blade?"
A woman with reddish-brown long hair, a vertical braid, sharp teeth, and fluffy bandages wrapped around her neck approached, asking cautiously.
"Didn't your Mizukage tell you?"
The woman was first taken aback by the question, then seemed to recall something and asked in surprise, "You are the wandering ninja Akagi, the one who made the Mizukage make an exception?"
"If there isn't a second wandering ninja named Akagi, then it must be me."
The woman was puzzled, "With such strong power, why are you a wandering ninja? Which village were you originally from…"
"Ringo! You're asking too many questions."
Another person walked over, stopping her rather inquisitive demeanor.
"My apologies, my name is Ringo Ameyuri, and I am a candidate for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, destined to wield the Lightning Blade. You are very strong. If there's a chance, I hope to exchange pointers with you on the use of ninja swords."
"We'll talk about it later…"
Shiji did not reveal his name. Instead, he looked towards a space that seemed to be overlapping and distorting, and asked, "Did your Mizukage disappear there?"
"That's right. First Lord Ao, then Lord Mizukage…"
"I understand. I'll take care of the rest."
After getting a simple understanding of the situation from them, Shiji immediately headed in that direction.
With the enhancement of his curse energy, he could clearly sense the curse energy fluctuations there.
If nothing unexpected happened, a powerful curse spirit must have expanded its domain and pulled Mei and the others into it.
However, a Kage-level powerhouse was not easy to deal with. Even with absolute terrain advantage, the opponent seemed to be in a stalemate inside.
The fact that the domain was still active was the best proof.
If Mei had died, the opponent would have definitely lifted the domain and come out by now.
Shiji's guess was correct!
Currently, within Tuogen's domain, "Wave Rhyme Horizon," Mei's situation was not good. She was already bleeding from multiple wounds, looking rather disheveled.
Of the people accompanying her, only Mangetsu Hōzuki was still alive.
He was currently using his Water Transformation Technique to envelop her.
The next moment, four fish-shaped shikigami appeared around Mei from all directions as if teleporting, then opened their sharp teeth and bit down on Mei simultaneously.
Because of the guaranteed hit effect, the moment these shikigami appeared, it meant you were already bitten.
That was how the unfortunate Mist ninja at the beginning was killed.
After paying a heavy price, Mei and Mangetsu Hōzuki found a way to break through.
Although these shikigami could appear beside them as if teleporting when attacking, they could not directly teleport inside their bodies. Otherwise, they would have died long ago.
And Mangetsu Hōzuki used this point to envelop Mei with his Water Transformation Technique.
This way, even though his body had turned into water, it was still his body.
Therefore, whether the shikigami wanted to attack him or Mei, they could only attack his water-transformed body first.
This way, the guaranteed hit effect had a reaction time, allowing them to destroy the attacking shikigami.
Combined with the special state of water transformation, which was immune to all physical attacks, they had managed to hold out until now.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
With the cooperation of Mei and Mangetsu Hōzuki, the four shikigami instantly turned into four dead fish.
Many of the shikigami summoned by Tuogen had already been killed in this manner.
However, this situation was unsustainable. They were constantly on the defensive and could not attack the enemy's main body.
Furthermore, this move had a significant flaw.
