I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

When Cybertron stopped focusing on close combat and started using ranged attacks again, Hidan found it difficult to even get close to him in this vast desert.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you so easily. I'll make you submit completely, and then die in this yellow sand with endless despair."

"Sand Curse Transformation: Sandstorm Dance!"

With a swing of the serpent sword, hundreds of crescent-shaped sand blades shot out at once.

At this moment, Hidan's body was covered in sand hands, and his feet were firmly gripped by quicksand, making him unable to move.

Despite Hidan's desperate struggle to shield himself with the Bloodstained Three-Moon Scythe, dozens of spurts of blood still shot out from his body a moment later.

"Do you submit?"

Cybert, who was standing far away, asked.

"Haha... I'm impressed!"

This is Hidan's answer.

[Chapter 82. The Villain Loses Because He Talks Too Much]

Hidan's strength is at least half due to his Death Possession Blood Curse.

But the problem now is that he can't get close to the enemy at all.

If you can't get close to the enemy, you can't inflict damage on them.

If you can't damage the enemy, you can't get blood.

Without blood, the ritual cannot be performed.

Having finally figured out the enemy's weakness, there was no longer a chance to exploit it.

Forget about being convinced; Hidan is furious right now!

He has none of the advantages of timing, location, and people; everything is against the other side. Damn it!

"Sand Curse Transformation: Sandstorm Dance!"

After the third barrage of sand blades, Hidan was almost completely covered in blood.

But what remained unchanged were his eyes, filled with the evil of the world, fixedly staring at Cybert.

It seems that if given a chance, even if all he has left is his mouth, he will bite something off of it.

“I have slowed down the sinking of the quicksand. Before you are completely swallowed up, I have enough time to unleash ten rounds of Sandstorm Dance. I’m curious how many more rounds you can withstand.”

Hidan grinned maliciously with his blood-stained face, "How many rounds? This stuff is already making me feel so good I'm almost falling asleep!"

As a masochist, this kind of physical torture is exactly what he wants!

The only thing that bothers me is that I can't let the other person feel this kind of painful pleasure.

After these rounds of sand dance, Cybert seemed to realize that this method was not going to make the other party submit.

So, should we simply eliminate this human, or...?

Cybert seemed to remember something and suddenly turned his gaze to what was behind Hidan.

"I have heard a word among you humans called 'bond'."

"I have never been able to understand the meaning of this word until recently, when a male human did almost everything he could to stop me for a short while in order to save his companion's life."

"Afterwards, I found this incident very interesting and it helped me to better understand your human emotions."

"So instead of killing the human male, I took him with me."

"Then something even more interesting happened. The human woman who escaped didn't cherish her hard-won life. Instead, she brought a lot of helpers to find me and wanted to rescue her."

"At that time, looking at them, I seemed to understand something."

"So this is what you humans call 'bonds'."

At this point, Cybert suddenly pointed his snake sword at Hidan's back, "That person is your comrade, right? If he hadn't tried to save you in the first place, how could he have so easily lost an arm and a right leg and been left lying there waiting to die?"

"Now I'm curious about something: what are you willing to give up to save him?"

"Or rather, how deep is the bond between you?"

"Sand Curse Transformation: Sand Soldier!"

Before he finished speaking, a soldier made of yellow sand materialized beside the corpse of Shinji, holding a long spear also made of yellow sand, and pointed it at Shinji's heart.

"I'm going to kill you, I'm definitely going to kill you!"

Hidan kept clenching his teeth and grinding them together, his face contorted like a demon.

Even at this moment, he still did not beg for mercy, much less say anything that would make him back down.

Because he knew perfectly well that doing so would be futile and would only invite ridicule from his enemies.

And Shinji certainly wouldn't want to see him looking so ugly.

Of course, more importantly, that kind of attack couldn't kill them.

"Perhaps that bastard Shinji will actually survive this misfortune..."

For some reason, this idea suddenly popped into Hidan's head.

puff!

A sand gun swiftly and cleanly pierced Shinji's heart.

"It seems the bond between you is nothing more than this."

Cybert seemed quite disappointed at not being able to see the scene he wanted to witness, but that didn't stop him from continuing to provoke Hidan.

Even though he knew Shinji wouldn't die, Hidan's temples were still throbbing, and the veins on his neck were bulging.

"Your guess was correct; this Azure Dust Golden Serpent is indeed the key."

"It has two abilities: amplification and drying up."

"Of course, both of these abilities will be temporarily disabled during the desertification process."

"Your observation skills are very sharp, but that's enough."

Cybert was somewhat disappointed by Hidan's performance just now, and telling Hidan these things was just a small reward for his perseverance.

After all, in his view, the dead cannot speak.

He was still unaware of some of the special techniques used by ninjas.

Furthermore, even if his weakness is known, it would be difficult for anyone to seize the opportunity and take advantage of it.

After their previous encounters, Cybert seems to have fallen into some kind of misconception...

The truly powerful beings among humans are not as simple as he imagined.

"ended."

"Sand Curse Transformation: Infinite Sandstorm Dance!"

Cybert pointed his snake sword forward, and this time, only death would stop the rain of sand blades.

However, just as the sand blades were taking shape, a voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"Idiot, take this attack from when you break stealth!"

Shinji, who had been stabbed in the heart and died, not only came back to life, but also appeared behind Cybert unharmed, wielding a guillotine.

"die!"

Without a second thought, Cybertron almost instinctively entered a sand-like state, thus avoiding being split in two.

But he regretted it the next moment!

Because the opponent's target was never him from the beginning, but the snake sword in his hand!

A ding sound.

Crimson Scale Leap - Carry + Breaking Stealth Strike!

This strike can be considered Shinji's peak attack.

Under that immense force, the golden serpent sword was almost instantly knocked away, escaping Cybert's control.

But the next moment, Cybert went crazy and deactivated his sandification right in front of Shinji.

He was unable to retrieve the Serpent Sword while in his sand-like state!

A giant arm formed from yellow sand suddenly rose into the air and grabbed the serpent sword that was tumbling and flying in the air.

"Hidan!" Shinji couldn't help but shout.

"Shut up, watch me!"

Hidan, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, threw out his Bloody Three-Month Scythe almost the instant Shinji knocked the snake sword away.

The rapidly spinning scythe slashed through the sky, like a blood moon rising eerily.

Then, before the giant hand of yellow sand could reach it, it struck the snake sword first.

With a clang, the golden serpent sword was knocked away once again!

At the same time, Shinji stopped watching the show.

"I was just watching a show and I got dragged into this mess. Do you even know how painful it is to have your heart pierced?"

puff!

In order to reclaim the Serpent Sword, Cybert practically took the blow head-on.

The deep, long wound on his back nearly cleaved him in two diagonally!

[Chapter 83 Fatal Weakness]

Cybert, who had been slashed, realized he had made a foolish mistake again and immediately forced himself to calm down.

When Shinji unleashed his second strike, he decisively abandoned the attempt to reclaim the Serpent Sword and used Sand Transformation to gracefully retreat.

At this moment, Shinji's best option is to chase after him and launch a continuous attack, forcing the opponent to keep using Sand Formation and have no time for anything else.

As long as this drags on, the other side will not be able to maintain its desertified state indefinitely.
