The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Hmph, I knew you Konoha ninjas would never stand by and watch your comrades die!

Hidan's lips curled into a sinister smile. For the first time, he felt incredibly clever. With his other hand, he swung the three-section scythe he had been gripping tightly, aiming it at Hyuga Sawatatsu from behind.

No matter how strong the opponent is, as long as I get your blood, there will only be one outcome!

However, the next moment, an irresistible force came from Hyuga Zechen's palm. Hidan, whose wrist was being held, was pulled and swung involuntarily, and his whole body was lifted into the air and crashed heavily into the ground, creating a human-shaped crater.

Smoke billowed up, but no one cared about Hidan's condition; all eyes were on Asuma.

"Ouch, that hurts! How dare you throw me like that!"

Hidan rubbed his swollen head and sat up from the ground.

"Sure enough, the curse can't work as long as you leave the pattern drawn in blood."

Seeing that Asuma was safe and sound, Shikamaru finally felt relieved.

"It's not over yet!"

Even though he fell so hard, Hidan never gave up his three-section scythe. Taking advantage of Hyuga Zetsu turning around to observe Asuma's weakness, he threw the ferocious weapon directly at Hyuga Zetsu, who was right next to him.

The other end of the scythe is equipped with a retractable rope that is wrapped around Hidan's waist. As long as Hyuga Sawatatsu is injured, Hidan can turn the tide of the battle.

"careful!"

Seeing the scythe flying towards Hyuga Sawatatsu, Shikamaru's pupils shrank, and he spoke up to warn him.

With his Byakugan's all-around vision, Hyuga Zetsu was naturally not going to be ambushed by Hidan. The moment the three-section scythe flew out of Hidan's hand, Hyuga Zetsu's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

puff!

As blood gushed from his neck, Hidan's rogue ninja headband and Jashin-chō necklace fell to the ground.

Boom!

Along with it, Hidan's severed head tumbled to the ground.

As early as when he grabbed Hidan's wrist, Hyuga Zechen left a Flying Thunder God mark. After transplanting the Otsutsuki bloodline, Hyuga Zechen's reaction speed was greatly improved. Almost before Hidan could react, the kunai had already severed his head.

Bang!

Hidan's headless corpse was the last to fall to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

it is finally over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Hidan's head fall to the ground.

The Earth Grudge Masked Monster, which had already retreated more than ten feet away, turned and fled without any hesitation.

"Ouch, that bastard! How dare he do this to me!"

The next moment, Hidan's head, which had stopped rolling on the ground, opened its eyes and shouted at Hyuga Sawatatsu.

Such a bizarre scene left the Konoha team speechless with astonishment.

Even if its head is cut off, can it still remain immortal?

How can this be?

"Tsk tsk, I was worried that not leaving any survivors would make it impossible to track down the Akatsuki, but now I'm relieved."

As expected, Hyuga Zetsu grabbed Hidan's hair and lifted his head up.

"You bastard, let go of me! Don't you know it hurts to have your hair pulled?"

Even with only his head remaining, Hidan showed no fear.

"Immortal? Perfect for testing the power of this new technique."

Hinata Zetsu's chakra surged, and a bone spur, its surface tinged with a pale gray, slowly extended from his palm.

"Hey, what are you going to do to my body?"

As Hidan watched Hyuga Zetsu approach his headless body step by step, he felt a sense of foreboding.

"It's just an experiment."

Ignoring Hidan's protests, Hyuga Zetsu extended his arm and plunged the bone spur in his hand into Hidan's body.

puff!

The bone spur pierced an inch before being pulled out again, leaving only a shallow, thin wound on Hidan's shoulder.

"It's no use. With the protection of the Evil God, I am immortal. If you spare me and pray to the Evil God, I'll grant you this ability as well."

Hidan's eyes darted around, trying to win over Hyuga Sawatatsu.

Hyuga Zetsu didn't speak, but instead carefully observed the changes in Hidan's wound.

Click!

A slight cracking sound was heard, and cracks appeared centered on Hidan's wound, gradually spreading outwards.

It was indeed a case of killing ashes together!

Seeing Hidan's immortal body begin to crumble like a withered tree and gradually spread throughout his body, Hyuga Zechen smiled.

Chapter 177 Total Annihilation

"It's over. I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the prayer ritual for the evil god anymore."

Gazing at the bizarre scene before him, Hidan's eyes widened, his voice filled with despair.

The immortality gained through faith in an evil god is actually subject to many limitations. Once the body is cut open, it must be stitched up or otherwise slowly healed.

If Hidan is dismembered and deprived of nutrition for an extended period, his body will gradually lose its vitality and eventually die.

Now, looking at his body, which was like a shattered porcelain vase, with cracks constantly appearing on its surface, and his skin, flesh, and even bones turning into tiny particles and constantly falling off his body, like a withered tree rapidly decaying, Hidan felt the fear of death for the first time.

While it is indeed the power of the All-Killing Ash Bones, the speed at which it turns to ashes is too slow. If Hidan's head were still intact, he could probably still control his body to launch a desperate counterattack.

The only uncertainty is whether Hidan's body contains the power of an evil god, affecting the effect of All-Killing Ash Bones, or whether Hyuga Sawatatsu's Otsutsuki bloodline has not yet completed its transformation, thus failing to fully unleash the effect of All-Killing Ash Bones.

Judging from the rate at which Hidan's body is collapsing, it will take at least the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before Hidan's body completely turns to ashes.

Compared to Kaguya Otsutsuki, who only took a little over ten seconds to obliterate Obito, a Six Paths level cultivator, the difference is obvious.

What kind of enemy is the most terrifying?

Of course, the most terrifying enemy is one who knows he is doomed and is driven to a dead end.

If the enemy's body collapses uncontrollably, they will inevitably try to take someone down with them. Without any scruples, they can unleash combat power far exceeding their own, which may cause unnecessary trouble.

While the power of the All-Killing Ash Bones is unsolvable, its future use will require finding the right time and target.

"Asuma!"

Seeing that the situation was settled, the severely injured Asuma could no longer stand and fell forward with his eyes closed. Fortunately, Shikamaru had been watching closely and caught him at the last moment.

"Catch!"

Hinata Zetsu flicked the severed head in his hand, sending it flying towards Shinzuki Izumo amidst Hidan's curses.

Immediately, Hyuga Zechen's palm was enveloped in green chakra and placed on Asuma's shoulder.

After receiving treatment with medical chakra, Asuma's pain from the burns was immediately relieved, and his furrowed brows relaxed.

"Healing ninjutsu, is there anything you can't do? And that thing on your forehead..."

Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes focused on the two horns on Hyuga Sawa's forehead, unsure whether he should ask.

"There was a slight mishap while cultivating the Bloodline Limit, which can be considered a side effect."

Having chosen to be open and honest, Hinata Sawatatsu had naturally already devised a plan.

"Bloodline Limit? Could it be a special bloodline limit?"

Not long ago, Shikamaru had completed the mission with Hyuga Sawatatsu, and they could be considered to have fought side by side, so Shikamaru didn't have too many reservations.

"Perfectly mastering the fusion of two chakra natures gives one the opportunity to become the creator of the first generation of bloodline limit. For example, the famous Wood Release of the First Hokage is a transformation of earth and water chakra natures. If a ninjutsu is created by fusing three chakra nature transformations, that is bloodline limit elimination, such as the Dust Release of the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure."

Hyuga Zechen continuously channeled green chakra into Asuma's body, while also offering a brief explanation, intending to have Shikamaru relay the reason for the horns on Asuma's forehead to the higher-ups of Konoha.

"As for Bloodline Limit, it is an ability that surpasses Bloodline Limit and Bloodline Elimination. Just like that guy's body, once it is hit by the power of Bloodline Limit, it will gradually collapse until it turns to ashes. Even if the Fifth Hokage personally takes action, he will never be able to save it."

As for how many chakra natures are included in the Bloodline Limit, there's no need to go into too much detail.

Is it certain death if you get hit?

Hearing Hinata Zechen's explanation, and turning to see the small wound on Hidan's body, which had now disintegrated into a hole the size of a head and was still expanding, one couldn't help but gasp.

"You heretic, the evil god will surely punish you."

The most desperate person was undoubtedly Hidan, who was left with only a head. Knowing that he was going to die, Hidan cursed without any restraint.

"If I didn't need the information in your head, I would definitely give you a hard time."

Izumo Kamui pulled out a roll of tape and stuck it on Hidan's mouth, instantly making the world quiet again.

Just then, Asuma let out a groan, his eyes slowly opened, and he woke up.

Without needing to say much, Asuma breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone around him safe and sound. He struggled to reach into his pocket and try to pull something out.

Shikamaru, who was standing next to Asuma, reacted the fastest. He took out a pack of cigarettes from Asuma's pocket, took one out, and put it to Asuma's lips.

call!

As he exhaled a smoke ring, Asuma's eyes became incredibly bright.

"The superficial injuries have been mostly healed. However, medical ninjutsu is not my forte, so it would be best to have the Fifth Hokage examine me when I return to the village."

Hinata Sawatatsu withdrew his hand from Asuma's shoulder and gave him some instructions.

"This time, I owe you one life, no, it should be two lives."

Seeing the puzzled look on Hyuga Zechen's face, Asuma smiled smugly.

"Hong is pregnant. After she returns to the village this time, she will hold a wedding. You all have to come!"

When talking about Kurenai Yuhi and the child in her womb, Asuma was radiant, showing no signs of the serious injuries she had just sustained.

Everyone smiled when Asma announced the good news.

"It's a pity that if I hadn't dragged everyone down, the murderer wouldn't have gotten away."

The joyful atmosphere lasted for a few breaths before Asuma, remembering his murdered best friend Jiroku, regained a look of loss on his face.
