Wait, that's not right.

That's all stuff in the dungeon! It's just a dream! My dear Erzhuzi, it's so worrying!

But no matter how much he denied it, Sasuke seemed determined, and even twenty Sages of Six Paths couldn't pull him back.

Shinji was completely stumped.

So he simply said, "Give up. You don't even know where we came from, so what are you talking about joining?"

To everyone's surprise, Sasuke immediately said, "Evil God! You are all followers of the evil god."

Sasuke was feeling very guilty at this moment. He just recounted what he remembered from his dream, hoping to get lucky.

However, Shinji frowned. "Our Evil God Cult has very strict standards for recruiting. You are far from meeting them. Besides, we are not babysitters; we won't take a burden with us."

The things that happen in dreams are indeed the realities that exist!

Sasuke felt a surge of excitement. The Jashin Cult—it sounded like an extremely mysterious organization teeming with powerful individuals!

Hmm, no wonder some of them are a bit mentally unstable.

"I want to know what the standards are?"

To dissuade Erzhuzi from joining, Shinji bluntly stated, "Only those who reach the level of elite Jonin are qualified to join us, and they will also need to undergo corresponding assessments."

[224. Chapter 218 Surviving (Third update today)]

Shinji made the conditions for joining the evil god cult seem very high, completely forgetting how he had poached members from all over the place to gather just a few.

However, he was right about one thing: those who are not strong enough are indeed not qualified to join the evil god cult.

Even the level of a regular Jonin is no longer enough to satisfy his needs.

His approach to the development of the evil god cult was to prioritize quality over quantity, following the same absolute elite route as Akatsuki.

Because the later the enemy is, the less likely they are to close the gap between the two sides simply by relying on numbers.

No matter how many cannon fodder there are, they are still cannon fodder.

Sasuke's heart sank upon hearing this request.

If it were other requirements, he could think of a way, but what could he do about hard requirements like strength?

He wanted to join the evil god cult in order to quickly increase his strength.

However, one cannot join the evil god cult without sufficient strength.

Well, it's become a vicious cycle.

On his way back, Sasuke was still trying to think of a solution.

Actually, he didn't necessarily want to join the evil god cult; it was just that staying in Konoha would slow down his growth.

Moreover, after figuring out the so-called truth, he completely lost trust in the village, and his desire for revenge grew stronger and stronger.

If he stayed, he seriously doubted that he might wake up one day and do something irrational that would ruin him.

Therefore, leaving and joining an organization that could help him quickly enhance his strength became his top priority.

And the only thing he can access now is Shinji Akagi's Jashin Cult.

Furthermore, in his 'true' memory, the other party also defeated that man, which perfectly met his requirements.

He wanted to join, but they didn't want him.

The strength of an elite Jonin...

If he had the strength of an elite Jonin, he probably would have gone out to confront that man right now.

Just when Sasuke was at his wit's end, a pebble hit him on the head with a thud.

"Who?"

Sasuke raised his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Then he saw a person hiding behind the tree, peeking out with a masked head, waving at him.

Sasuke recognized the other person at a glance; it was one of Shinji Akagi's two companions, the strange masked man.

Although he didn't know why the other person wanted to see him, he still went over for the slightest possibility of joining.

Unexpectedly, the other person turned and ran, even turning back to signal him to hurry up and follow.

Sasuke was taken aback, then quickly quickened his pace to catch up.

No matter how fast he sped up, he could only linger behind the other side, unable to close the distance even slightly.

Sasuke knew this was the result of the huge speed difference between the two sides.

He was dealt another blow, never expecting that he was far inferior to that strange masked man.

However, he quickly remembered what Shinji had said and realized that those who could join the Jashin Cult were all strong, which meant that the strange masked man he originally looked down on was probably at least an elite Jonin.

As for going any further, he dared not even imagine it.

Could it possibly be a shadow...?

Following them, the two eventually stopped in a secluded open space.

There was no one else there besides the three of them.

Yes, that's right, there were three people.

Because Hidan had been waiting here for a long time.

"Hidan-senpai, I've brought the person to you~"

"Well done, Fei."

Hidan praised Tobi, and Tobi immediately scratched his head sheepishly.

The two were no longer the same as before, rolling on the ground and tearing and wrestling.

"Kid, I heard you want to join us?"

Sasuke, who was secretly on guard, couldn't help but nod when he heard Hidan's words. "I did want to join you, but I was rejected. Someone told me that I had to have the strength of an elite Jonin and pass the test before I could join."

Hidan burst into laughter upon hearing this, "That's right, our Jashin Cult isn't a place where just any Tom, Dick, Harry, or any rotten fish can join."

Sasuke was very unhappy to hear this, but he couldn't refute it. He could only look at the other party coldly and say, "So you lured me here just to mock my overestimation of my abilities?"

"Of course... no, we're not that bored, we wouldn't come out just to bully a little kid."

Hidan said proudly, "It's because Hidan thinks you have some potential, so he begged me to give you a chance."

Ah Fei was speechless, then suddenly raised his hand, "Um... what I actually said was..."

"That's not important!"

"..."

Ah Fei was interrupted before he could finish speaking. What he actually meant was that if that kid joined them, they wouldn't have to be sent out to buy groceries and clean anymore. They could dump all the chores on that kid.

Then Hidan was tempted!

They stopped fighting and, after Shinji returned, the two of them sneaked out, which led to this scene.

But in reality, that wasn't Ah Fei's true purpose.

Don't forget, he was also there five years ago that night, and he knows all too well how important this kid is to Itachi.

Although it's unclear why this kid keeps bothering Shinji Akagi, and he's also learned part of the truth behind the tragedy from back then.

However, it can be used as a backup plan.

As long as Sasuke doesn't forget his hatred and wants revenge on Konoha, the Jashin Cult will always stand against Konoha.

And that's exactly the result he wanted to see.

However, the prerequisite is that Sasuke can successfully join the Jashin Cult and gain someone's approval.

After thinking it over, Hidan realized that only the idiot Hidan could possibly accomplish this, which is why he said that on purpose.

"Give me a chance?"

Sasuke looked at Tobi and Hidan with a puzzled expression, then said something that made Tobi think to himself, "Oh no!"

"Isn't Shinji Akagi the one who calls the shots in the evil god cult? Even if you give me a chance, if that person doesn't agree in the end, won't the result be the same?"

Sasuke simply recounted what he had seen, completely unaware of the destructive power of his words.

Hidan's expression immediately turned gloomy.

Afei quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Kid, you've got it wrong! This senior Hidan is the true leader of the Evil God Cult."

Sasuke was taken aback. Instead of believing it, he looked at Hidan suspiciously, his eyes filled with distrust.

“Very well, even though you don’t believe me, I’m still willing to start the initiation test for you.” Hidan suddenly smiled in a terrifying way.

"What kind of assessment?"

"Survive."

"Huh? What..."

Bang!

Before Sasuke could even ask what was going on, he was sent flying backward.

The blood-red scythe slammed heavily onto his arms, which were crossed in front of his chest, and a cracking sound of bones breaking was heard.

If he hadn't blocked that attack in time, he might have lost the ability to fight back on the spot.

"To survive means...to survive."

Hidan walked up to Sasuke and raised his blood-red three-month scythe once again!

[Chapter 225. Life's Fleeting Moments (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)]

Since childhood, Sasuke has always dreamed of one day dominating the ninja world.

Even after graduating from the Ninja Academy and starting to carry out missions, I didn't feel that there was much danger outside.

But things are different now. He has discovered that without the protection of Konoha and without Kakashi-sensei's reminders and protection, anyone would dare to kill him and possess such an ability.
