The following day, Hozuki Mangetsu received a response to the information he had sent out using his summoning beast.

Not long after, several Hidden Mist ninja arrived. They first inquired and confirmed the whole story, and then questioned the survivors.

Finally, they took over the entire village, and one person reported it to Master Yuan.

How to handle it then will depend on the outcome of the discussion between Master Yuan and the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

After all, the impact of this incident was far too severe.

As people of the Water Kingdom, they secretly helped their fellow citizens who were remnants of the cursed spirits. If they hadn't run into a brick wall this time, who knows how many more people would have been killed. Such heinous people deserve to die a hundred times over.

If this gets out, it will undoubtedly make the current situation even more unstable.

If trust between people is lost, the world will immediately fall apart, and destruction will only be a matter of time.

What's even more terrifying is that if someone or a cursed spirit were to learn and imitate this, that would truly be a disaster!

Therefore, this matter must be handled quickly and discreetly.

At the same time, people were sent to investigate to see if any similar incidents existed, and all of them had to be dealt with seriously.

As for Shinji and the others who were at the center of the incident, they were forgotten.

This was also something Shinji strongly requested.

After all, he came to the Land of Water with a clear purpose. He's not a Hidden Mist ninja, so there's no point in him making contributions; at most, he'll get some money.

It would be better to give all the credit to Hozuki Mangetsu. Even if he can't replace Terumi Mei for the time being, it's still better than having 'Naijuro' take over the position of Mizukage in the future.

I'm not trying to smear him, he's just really not good enough!

Anyway, that's what the non-flammable transmission told him.

Village entrance.

"I'm sorry, I have to go back because of Master Yuan's orders. I'll also take Shuiyue back to the village. I'll come back to find you after this is all over."

Hozuki Mangetsu placed his hand on Suigetsu's head and said with a hint of apology.

Don't mess up my hairstyle!

Mizuki angrily dodged her brother's hand, her eyes constantly glancing at the guillotine wrapped in cloth behind Shinji.

As for any misunderstandings, they've already been cleared up before.

If they hadn't happened to run into her, Shuiyue might have already been captured and dissected.

“I’ve said it before, your new identity doesn’t affect who you were before. And you don’t need to look for us. You can always see this symbol in the places where the chaos of the cursed spirits is at its worst.”

Hozuki Mangetsu subconsciously touched the Jashin Cult mark on his right shoulder and nodded.

Then he approached and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about the Executioner's Blade and Wood Release. As for Suigetsu... I'll make him keep quiet too."

After saying that, he pulled Shuiyue, who had angrily run to the side, and left.

"Ah Fei, do you believe him?"

"Huh? You're asking me? Actually, I only joined recently, hahaha."

When Afei returned, he scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly; that taste was back.

"You're quite something, kid. You actually stole the limelight from the seniors. How should you be punished?"

"Breathing... pat pat pat, so hard... pat pat pat...!"

Hidan, with ill intentions, immediately put a one-arm choke on Tobi, making it hard for him to breathe, and Tobi kept hitting his arm.

"And you're getting bolder and bolder, aren't you? You even dared to say something like, 'Hidan, you guys step back. I'll finish this guy off.' That's some cool, show-off talk! What's worse, you actually dared to call your senior by his first name! Do you want to die?!" (Strengthens arm)

"I won't do it again... *slap slap slap*, it hurts so much... *slap slap slap*, please let me go, Hidan-senpai..."

"Hmph, I'll let it go this time, but if you dare to show off before me again, I'll twist you into a pretzel and throw you into a vat of boiling oil, you hear me!"

After Hidan released his arm, Tobi almost suffocated. He clutched his neck and nodded rapidly.

Upon seeing this, Shinji's 'King's Power' immediately became restless.

Last time I beat up Afei, I gained 1 point of affinity.

So, should we try again?

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to abandon this tempting idea.

After all, this doesn't fit his public image.

It's more suitable for him to seize the opportunity to make big moves, just like in the underground space.

(PS: These two chapters were a bit too dramatic, and I was worried you'd think it was padded, so I added some slice-of-life content... but it seems even more padded now, haha...

Well... would any kind souls be willing to subscribe and reimburse my travel expenses? Please~)

[Chapter 142. On the fact that even immortals can catch a cold (Daily life~Subscribe with caution)]

Achoo, achoo...!

While traveling, Shinji kept sneezing.

Hidan and Tobi, those two bastards, actually said that a cold is a very serious illness, so they hid ten meters away from him.

"Just you wait, you two will definitely not get away with this!"

Shinji sniffled twice, thinking fiercely.

The reason he caught a cold and got sick can be traced back to his use of that "unfortunate microphone".

After using it, he was on tenterhooks for a while, fearing he might choke to death if he drank a sip of water.

But two days passed in the blink of an eye, and no bad luck happened, which made him lower his guard.

As a result, he suffered a major setback.

It was a real tumble!

Hidan and Tobi accidentally bumped into him while they were playing around, and then he fell forward because there was a hole under his feet.

Just as he was about to fall, he instinctively tried to brace himself with his hands, but the grass was wet with dew, and his hand slipped and fell flat on his face!

Just as he was about to fall flat on his face, in order to protect his handsome face, he forcibly twisted his body, trying to land on his back first.

Unfortunately, not only did he strain his back, but he also hit a rock and aggravated a numb muscle in his leg when he landed.

With no strength left in his waist and legs, he rolled out like that.

And then something even worse happened: there was a slope right in front of us!

So Shinji rolled and rolled, all the way down the river, until he finally fell into it.

Throughout the entire process, Hidan and Tobi, those two bastards, just stood by and watched the show, showing absolutely no intention of saving him.

Afterwards, they were still making sarcastic remarks, saying that his work was some kind of 'performance art' and that he might have learned some new 'spell'.

This really infuriated Shinji!

He choked on several mouthfuls of water in the river, but didn't care. He jumped out, swung his decapitation sword, and chased after the two bastards!

Then...

And then he turned out like this!

Afterwards, he thought about it carefully and, after ruling out the possibility that he was just unlucky, it was definitely a side effect of using the "Unfortunate Microphone".

The side effects of this damn thing don't appear immediately afterward; they just happen one day later, you never know when.

This is absolutely outrageous!

If you're a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?!

Are you trying to play "Final Destination" with me?

Shinji was very unhappy, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Hey, you two, come here!"

"Don't go!"

Hidan and Tobi, those two bastards, shook their heads in unison.

"I won't hit you, come here!"

“I stopped believing these kinds of lies to children when I was three years old.”

凸(艹皿艹)!

Shinji's temple immediately creased, indicating that he was very unhappy.

"I'll count to three, and whoever's the last one to come over, I'll chop him up!"

"3, 2..."

"run!"

Suddenly, Tobi shouted at Hidan, and Hidan, as if by reflex, turned and ran.

Of course, Hidan also ran after him, but he seemed to be running in a different direction than Hidan.

"Hehe, Shinji-senpai, is there anything I can do for you?"

Afei ran up to Shinji like a lapdog.

"Not bad, I have high hopes for you. You wait here for me, I'm going to chop someone up, I'll be right back."

"Okay, take care~"

At this moment, Hidan seemed to realize that something was wrong and quickly looked around, only to find that Tobi was gone.

Then I turned around again, and wow!

That bastard Afei has betrayed him and sided with the evil Akagi!

Just as he was hesitating about whether it was too late to back down, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Holy crap, are you serious?!"

Shinji had already drawn his guillotine, mysterious bloodstains appearing on his face. Then, with a thud, he shattered the ground and caught up in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, you're really going to cut me!"

With a scream from someone, Afei suddenly convulsed, then felt utterly bored.
