By the fourth day, Hidan's injuries had almost completely healed, and he had even gained weight.
Shinji then suggested leaving.
This time, Mira Penn didn't try to persuade him to stay, because he knew it would be a waste of effort.
However, if he encounters any thorny problems that he can't solve in the future, he can always seek help from the Evil God Cult again. The price is nothing more than some money and supplies that he can't take with him when he dies, which he really doesn't care about.
As long as he lives, he will never lack these things!
A large ship, fully loaded, slowly set sail...
Meanwhile, in a small wooden house in a remote village in the Land of Waves.
A handsome young man was gently feeding medicine to a man lying on the bed.
"Cough cough..."
The man was tall, but his body was wrapped in bandages, his face was very pale, and his breathing was weak. He was clearly seriously ill or seriously injured.
"Didn't that guy come back?"
The boy paused slightly as he fed the medicine, then said with a bright smile, "My poison has been cured, and Lord Zabuza's injuries are starting to heal. Apart from that person, no one knows we're hiding here, so we can live here in anonymity from now on."
"I can not be reconciled!"
After a moment of silence, the man shattered the boy's fantasy.
"Next time I run into that bald guy, I won't lose. And that guy who stole my Executioner's Blade, I will never forgive him!"
"The cult of evil gods... I'll remember that."
A flicker of sadness crossed the boy's eyes, then softened. "Yes, I'll obey Zabuza-sama's every command. Time to take your medicine, ah~"
A rare hint of embarrassment and annoyance appeared on the man's face, but before he could utter a word of rebuke, the bitter medicine choked him up.
(PS: Please read on! Although I know everyone likes to wait for a book to grow before reading it, and prefers books with many words, that's how Qidian's system works now. Recommendations are based on whether you've read the entire book or not. In other words, you might think it's fine to wait until it's longer, but many books are ruined this way... So if this book is to your liking, please don't wait for it to grow before reading it, just read it! I'd be eternally grateful!)
[Chapter 32: Crafting Weapons]
Twenty days later, Shinji and Hidan finally returned to Jashin-kyo.
The main problem was that the convoy carrying supplies was too slow, forcing them to slow down and eventually make their way back at a leisurely pace.
Of course, Shinji had already used the birds kept by the Mira Merchant Guild to send the message back, emphasizing the importance of stability.
Outside the base, the leader of the Takihata sect looked at them with a kind smile.
"Welcome home, children."
"May the evil god live on forever!" Shinji and Hidan simultaneously pressed the necklaces bearing the symbol of the Jashin Cult to their foreheads and uttered these words devoutly.
"How was the journey? Was it smooth sailing?"
After arranging for someone to hand over the supplies, the leader of the Takihata sect talked as he walked, his tone revealing concern.
"Aside from encountering some petty thieves, everything went smoothly." Shinji was unwilling to elaborate, so he downplayed the issue.
Hidan's situation is even simpler...
"Vulnerable!"
The leader of the Takihata sect first glanced at the Executioner's Blade on Shinji's back, and said meaningfully as if joking, "A petty thief who can wield an Executioner's Blade is no ordinary person."
Then he patted Shinji on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "Well done this time! They praised you two highly in their letter. Even the previously agreed-upon funding has tripled, all thanks to you!"
"Tell me, is there anything you want? Lord Evil God will surely grant your wish."
Upon hearing Takihata's promise, Hidan, eager to try, spoke first: "I want to offer an even higher quality sacrifice to Lord Jashin!"
Just after Hidan finished speaking, Shinji noticed that the smile on Takihata's face froze for a moment before he said helplessly, "You can choose any of the offerings in the dungeon below."
"I want high-quality offerings! Those rubbish in the dungeon will only tarnish my faith in the evil god!" Hidan shouted angrily.
To put it bluntly, he worships the evil god who gave him a new life, not the current leader of the evil god cult.
Faith is a double-edged sword!
Even Takihata himself probably didn't expect his brainwashing to be so successful, and even excessively so.
This is not a good sign!
The leader of the Takihata Cult looked at Hidan, who was showing signs of becoming uncontrollable, and became secretly wary. Then he continued with a smile, "Your faith in the Jashin-sama is naturally beyond question, but high-quality sacrifices are rare and consumed quickly. So, in the future, the high-quality sacrifices captured will be prioritized for ten of you. In addition, you can also capture sacrifices yourself. If you capture a sacrifice of particularly high quality, I can even make an exception and hold a special sacrificial ceremony for you."
"Tch, I'm going to rest now."
Hidan gave a dismissive smirk and left.
This trip to the Land of Waves truly showed Hidan just how powerful he really is!
If it weren't for the guy next to him who was always one step ahead of him, Hidan would probably be floating even more wildly right now.
Upon seeing this, a flash of displeasure crossed the eyes of the leader of the Takihata sect.
As for Shinji, he naturally didn't have Hidan's low emotional intelligence, especially since the Jashin Cult still had some value to him, so he changed the subject.
"Lord Takihata, I want to forge a weapon."
"Oh? What kind of weapon? And don't you already have one?" Takihata asked curiously.
"This greatsword can only serve as a temporary measure; I don't really find it very handy to use." Shinji shook his head regretfully.
Upon hearing Shinji's words, Takihata cult leader found himself somewhat agreeing.
After all, no matter how powerful a weapon is, you can't unleash its full potential if you're not comfortable using it.
Furthermore, compared to Hidan, Shinji's request is undoubtedly much more normal and reasonable.
So, without much hesitation, the leader of the Takihata Cult readily agreed, "All the materials in the cult's treasury can be used. If you have any specific ideas, you can discuss them with the craftsman."
Shinji expressed his gratitude again, thinking to himself: This is a good opportunity to see the other conditions for the transformation of cursed tools.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Shinji returned to his busy life of assisting with blood draws, recording experimental data, training in physical skills, and practicing incantations.
Although the days are packed, this kind of life is very fulfilling.
Of course, it would be even better if the first two items could be removed.
After all, no one wants to be used as a guinea pig forever.
Furthermore, after returning, Shinji did not attempt to deepen his relationship with Hidan or increase their bond level.
On the contrary, he hardly ever glanced at this guy, and avoided meeting him whenever possible.
He certainly didn't 'fall in love with someone else' or have a new bond with someone else.
I simply look down on those few perks I get every day!
During his trip to the Land of Waves, he finally figured out how to increase his bond with Hidan.
So he decided to let Fei Duan linger for a few days, and then suddenly strike with lightning speed to take him down... Ugh! He wanted to see if he could finish the second phase of that damn mission as soon as possible.
What a scumbag!
On the other hand, although Hidan wasn't very bright, he also noticed that Shinji had been 'disliking' him these past few days.
They had clearly disliked each other for a long time.
From bickering and arguing to "Don't leave after school, let's fight one-on-one," and even resorting to knives at the drop of a hat, they would kill each other at the slightest disagreement!
Logically speaking, Hidan should be used to it by now.
But the truth is... Hidan is very unhappy!
He didn't know why he was unhappy, he just was unhappy!
He was unhappy, so he wanted to make that jerk unhappy too.
After enduring it for several days, Hidan finally couldn't hold back any longer and happily prepared to go and cause trouble for that guy!
Meanwhile, Shinji was in the craftsman's workshop, carefully examining the murder weapon that had just been forged!
This is a large, three-sectioned scythe, entirely red in color. The three-section design is intended to allow the scythe to inflict more damage on the opponent. At the end of the handle is a ring that can be used to tie a rope for long-range throwing and retrieval.
This is Hidan's fearsome weapon from the original work—the Bloody Three-Month Scythe!
After the last operation in the Land of Waves, Shinji also discovered another weakness of Hidan: his lethality was severely lacking when he did not use [Death Possession Blood].
Therefore, it is very necessary to help Hidan quickly forge this iconic weapon!
He really didn't want to see Hidan, that idiot, wielding two watermelon knives and hacking away like crazy anymore.
Seriously, all the class and prestige have vanished!
When it comes to killing people, the most important thing is to look cool!
Shinji picked it up and swung it around a couple of times. He felt it was pretty good; the materials were substantial and the quality was excellent.
The only regrettable thing is that the system did not respond at all.
This means that the Bloodstained March Scythe in his hand cannot be transformed into a cursed tool.
[33. What kind of scissors are in Chapter Thirty-Three?]
For Shinji, weapons that cannot be converted into cursed tools are of relatively low value.
This is like two equally sharp knives, one of which can only be used to cut people, while the other can cut people while also spitting fire and electricity.
If it were you, which one would you prefer?
(Hidan: "Well said! I choose the one that can only cut people.")
Shinji had just stepped outside with his freshly made Bloodstained March Scythe when he saw a dark figure suddenly dart out of the bushes beside him.
"Bang! What the hell is that?!"
Startled into a stress response, Shinji didn't think twice and instinctively raised his weapon and slashed.
"Hey, you..."
puff!
Thud!
