If he and Hidan just leave like that, then probably no one in the entire village will survive.

Although Shinji doesn't consider himself a good person, he rarely meddles in other people's business.

But he couldn't get over the mess he made by simply walking away, leaving a bunch of poor people in the mess.

That's just being a pervert!

Furthermore, he was unwilling to leave like this!

Even though treasure hunting might seem like you've unearthed something 'strange', who can guarantee that this so-called 'strange' isn't actually 'treasure'?

Furthermore, to put it another way, isn't the practice of defeating monsters (tailed beasts) and obtaining equipment (jinchuriki) an age-old phenomenon?

Shinji would really be disappointed if he didn't give it a try!

So Shinji asked calmly, "Scared?"

Hey, I have such a bad temper!

Hidan immediately retorted, "Huh? You think I'm scared? Whoever's scared is a coward!"

"Okay, you go first. I'll deal with these people around here first."

"Why!"

Hidan panicked immediately!

Then, after noticing Shinji's strange look, she immediately changed her tune, saying, "What I meant was that these people can act as bait to distract the monster."

Shinji shook his head and said, "No, didn't you notice just now? That thing was clearly different after it ate."

"The intensity and sheer number of them were already overwhelming us. If it devours all of them, are you sure we'll still be able to fight back?"

Hidan thought it made sense, but he was unwilling to admit it, so he could only snort and say, "Then why don't you go first and I'll take care of those villagers?"

"I'm confident I can get everyone under control in the shortest amount of time and prevent them from causing trouble. Can you do that?"

"Why not? At worst, we can just slaughter them all and offer them as sacrifices to the evil god!"

Shinji glanced at him like he was an idiot and said, "By the time you kill them all, it'll be too late. All this talk is just because you're scared, isn't it?"

"Damn it! Hidan-sama has never known the meaning of fear! Open your eyes and watch how I tear that bastard to pieces!"

Enraged, Hidan pulled out two kunai from his pocket and walked toward the dry well, cursing under his breath.

Shinji was thinking... You're completely illiterate. You probably can't even write many other words, let alone the word 'fear'!

After venting his frustrations, Shinji got down to business.

He casually pulled out a kunai, cut his wrist, and then forcefully swung it forward!

A large amount of blood floated in front of him, then quickly coalesced into a sphere.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Shinji raised his right hand like a pistol and fired several compressed blood bullets at the ground beneath his feet, adjusting the power accordingly.

Then a smile finally appeared on his lips.

"Compared to being eaten, a mild concussion shouldn't be a big deal."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...!

With Shinji's curse activated, a series of compressed blood bullets shot out from the blood sphere in front of him.

Although many 'bullets' missed their mark, most of them hit the villagers' heads accurately.

Almost every villager who was hit rolled their eyes back and collapsed unconscious on the ground.

No matter how magical the fragrance emanating from the well may be, it could not make a person who has lost consciousness stand up again immediately.

That's not seduction, that's complete control!

Clearly, the monster in the well wasn't that powerful.

And so, as if playing a shooting game, Shinji quickly 'shot' all the 'zombies', preventing them from breaking through the 'safe zone'.

It highlights speed and efficiency!

Meanwhile, what is Hidan, the clever little devil, doing?

While the ghostly thing in the well was still inside, this guy actually moved the big rock next to him and put it on top of it.

It's impossible for me to go down, I'll never go down in this lifetime!

Hidan thought to himself, "I'll just 'seal' this thing down there, won't that solve everything?"

"It's done!"

Hidan dusted off his hands, looking proud, like a genius.

Why do my feet feel a little itchy?

Looking down, he saw that the eerie black hair had already squeezed through the gap and 'grabbed' his ankle!

[Chapter 15. I don't know Fire Release!]

With a loud bang!

The large rock crashed to the ground, and a large amount of black hair gushed out again.

Having lost the initiative right from the start, Hidan could only run around frantically and barely manage to defend himself!

If he hadn't acted decisively, disregarding the risk of injuring himself, and stabbed directly at his ankle, he would probably be inside that monster's 'belly' by now.

Even so, his situation was still very dangerous as he was so close to the well.

Moreover, his most powerful spell, "Death Possession Blood," had absolutely no effect on this ghostly thing.

This undoubtedly made Hidan extremely frustrated!

After noticing out of the corner of his eye that Shinji had already dealt with the surrounding villagers, Hidan couldn't help but shout, "How are we supposed to deal with this bastard? This is never going to end!"

At this moment, Shinji did not rush to support Hidan, but began to carefully observe and recall.

"From opening the treasure chest to being suddenly attacked, then escaping the dry well... black hair... an eerie fragrance that creatures can't resist... eating..."

"There can't be anything that's unsolvable; something must have been overlooked... But what could it be..."

"Hey! What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and come help me, I can't hold on much longer!" Hidan's urgent voice came immediately.

In just a short while, he was left with only one kunai; the other one had been knocked away somewhere.

If that thing hadn't seemed to only have an offensive instinct and a rather rigid attack pattern, Hidan might have been overwhelmed by its dense black hair long ago.

Even though Hidan had started fighting desperately, it seemed that defeat was only a matter of time.

Hidan was unable to effectively damage the thing's main body, and simply cutting off the black hair used for attack was completely useless.

Shinji ignored Hidan's plea for help and instead shouted, "Hold on a little longer, I'm observing this thing's weakness."

"Shinji Akagi! You bastard! I'll remember you!" Hidan cursed, and seeing that the other party really had no intention of coming to help, he could only cheer up again and slash wildly.

Shinji, on the other hand, was starting to reorganize his thoughts because Hidan had just interrupted his train of thought.

"Based on previous observations, this strange thing doesn't seem to possess true intelligence; it's merely acting on instinct..."

"And another very important point is that we didn't smell any fragrance when that thing attacked. It was only after it retreated into the well that it began to emit an alluring fragrance."

"If it could be used at any time, then there's no reason for it to be like this. In fact, if that thing had released its fragrance and then attacked us from the beginning, Hidan and I might have been hit right then and there."

"Based on reasonable calculations, that thing should have two behavioral modes: one is an enticing mode that emits fragrance to attract prey to its hunting range, and the other is a predatory mode that uses its black hair to capture prey. As it stands, the two forms do not seem to be able to appear at the same time."

"But... that's not enough! Knowing all this isn't enough to completely defeat this monster. So what exactly is its weakness?"

Shinji took several deep breaths to calm himself down and stop thinking about anything else. In any case, even if Hidan was caught, he wouldn't die anytime soon, which gave him more opportunities to observe.

So he gave up on getting bogged down in details, chose to forget his previous deductions, and began to rethink his approach.

"Go down...open the box...under attack..."

"and many more!"

"Why was I attacked?"

Shinji recalled the attack he received when he opened the box and suddenly realized a detail he had been overlooking.

That means that the initial target of those black-haired people wasn't actually him, but... the torch in his hand!

Yes, that's right!

Because he was so startled, he was only thinking about getting out of the well first, so he overlooked this point.

If he had been the primary target of the attack, he would have been caught completely off guard, and escaping would not have been easy.

Looking back now, I realize that the thing only turned around and chased after him after extinguishing the torch, which is why he only managed to escape in a slightly disheveled state.

After ruling out the absurd assumption that the thing had a grudge against the torch, the most likely explanation is...

"Shinji, you bastard! Aren't you coming to help...?"

"It's fire!"

"Huh? What?"

"This thing's weakness is most likely fire!"

"you sure?"

"Trust me! Use Fire Release to burn it!"

"Fine! I'll burn... I'll burn your whole family! I don't even know how to use Fire Release!!!"

Hidan's roar made Shinji feel awkward.

"Damn it, I got too excited and completely forgot about that."

Let alone fire jutsu, those two are complete noobs who can't even use a chicken feather ninjutsu!

Upon realizing this, Shinji turned and ran!

"You bastard! You're just running away like that?! You...you should have taken me with you! Damn it!"

Hidan first showed an incredulous expression, and then began to curse!
