"Is there any chance to use the power of the cursed spirits to accomplish something and push the plan forward a little further?"

Including the last meeting, where Nagato tested everyone's attitude towards the cursed spirits, it actually stemmed from a certain idea of ​​his, and he just found a way to put it out through Nagato's mouth.

Because he is the one who truly doesn't care whether the other party in the cooperation is human or ghost; as long as the goal can be achieved, any price is acceptable.

[Chapter 96. Reviving the Evil God Cult?]

"Didn't we already take care of that guy? Why are we running away?"

"You're really stupid! Didn't you hear that guy's from the Akatsuki organization? Can you guarantee he's the only one who came this time?"

"What's there to be afraid of! Even if a few more come, they won't be a match for Hidan!"

Seeing Hidan's indomitable spirit despite his disability, Shinji was deeply moved and let go of him without saying a word.

"Hey, you bastard! Where are you going?" Hidan, who was lying on the ground unable to move, saw Shinji turn around to leave and immediately panicked.

"I'm afraid that if someone catches up with us later, 'Hidan the Sage' won't be able to use his full power and might accidentally hurt me again."

Hidan blushed instantly, but still stubbornly said, "Don't be afraid. I'm not in good shape right now, so I won't accidentally hurt you... Sigh, fine, I'll let them go this time. Once I've recovered, I'll kill them one by one and send them all to see Lord Jashin!"

Upon seeing Shinji roll his eyes and walk away, Hidan quickly changed his tune.

"Look at how capable you are. If you were really that good, you wouldn't be paralyzed here now."

Shinji retorted to this guy, and after so much time, Hidan finally understood the principle of "a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle." So, he muttered a couple of things in a voice that no one could hear and then decisively stopped arguing.

In fact, he understood better than anyone just how terrifying that guy was.

Honestly, he not only didn't understand the last move, but was also incredibly shocked by its destructive power!

If he weren't immortal, he could have gone to report to the evil god right then and there.

A small country can be destroyed with ease!

But it is precisely because the other party is so powerful that the one who 'killed' him... well, them, after all, Shinji also deserves some credit, which makes them seem even more amazing!

Hidan didn't care what his defeated opponent thought; after all, who cares about the opinions of the dead?

I reckon the next time he sees Pain standing unharmed in front of him, his eyes will be wide open than anyone else's.

Hidan lay on the makeshift wooden bed, while Shinji walked ahead, pulling on a rope.

While it's true that Hidan possesses immortality and powerful regenerative abilities, he still needs to receive treatment to recover faster and avoid future complications.

Left with no other choice, Shinji could only drag this thing along to the nearest Land of Fire.

Once they get there, even if the Akatsuki members chase after them again, they won't dare to be too reckless.

After all, the Akatsuki organization is not yet ready to go to war with the five great nations.

After a while, Hidan, who was getting a little bored, suddenly asked:

"You said that we both obtained immortality from the evil god, so why did you recover so quickly after being injured? And last time in the Wind Kingdom, I personally cut off your hands and feet, and they were already in that state, but you recovered completely in no time."

"Why did it take you so long to ask about this?"

"That's why I remembered."

"..."

Hearing Hidan's confident reply from behind, Shinji was completely speechless.

Then he gave the answer he had prepared long ago.

"Because we're different. It's like how you won't die even if you suffer a fatal wound, and you can always stay conscious. But I always fall into a real 'death', only to be resurrected after three seconds. And back then, only you could learn [Death Possession Blood]. No matter how hard I tried, it was useless... With such a big flaw, I've always been regarded as your castrated version. You should have known these things long ago."

Hidan's expression changed slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Tch, that's just the self-righteousness of some pseudo-believers. They don't understand anything at all."

"Perhaps. Maybe it is precisely because my immortality has such a great flaw that it can be compensated for in other aspects, such as spells, or a more powerful self-healing ability."

It must be said that Shinji's half-true, half-false explanation convinced Hidan without any doubt.

In addition, saying this also provides a reason for him to use more curses in the future, so that Hidan can fill in the blanks in his mind and convince himself.

Suddenly, Shinji changed the subject, saying in a joking tone, "Wait a minute, you weren't just comforting me, were you?"

"Huh? Comfort? Why the hell don't you just die already?!"

"Even if I, Hidan, were to jump off this spot and be chopped up and thrown into the ocean to feed the fish, I would never comfort you, you bastard!"

"That's disgusting, get out!"

As Hidan excitedly swore, his face flushed red, a system notification sounded rather inopportunely.

[Bond Value +5]

(⊙?⊙)!

[Bond Value +5]

[Bond Value +5]

......

→_→

Shinji was shocked at first, then couldn't help but glance at the tsundere behind him who was cursing him while frantically increasing his bond value.

I didn't do anything, and I got 15 points of affinity!

I never knew you were this kind of person, second-rate!

I really misjudged you!

Don't stop, keep adding!

Unfortunately, no matter how much Shinji hoped, he only gained 15 points of bond value, reaching a total of 865 points.

We're really not far from that number of one thousand!

Shinji, who had received the benefits, did not expose Hidan and let him explode on the spot. Instead, he kept quiet and made a fortune, letting Hidan run wild.

After venting for a while, Hidan finally released the excitement brought on by his embarrassment and calmed down.

Then he said something that surprised Shinji.

"I want to rebuild the evil god cult. What do you think? Is it possible?"

"what?"

Even with his head pounding, Shinji never expected Hidan to suddenly come up with such an idea, so much so that he was stunned and didn't give an answer immediately.

"It still won't work. It's too wishful thinking. That's right, now there are only the two of us left in the Evil God Cult. Everyone else, including the cult leader, has been killed by the two of us. How could anyone else possibly join such a cult?"

Before Shinji could say anything, Hidan launched into a long speech.

This immediately made Shinji realize that this guy probably didn't just have this idea on a whim, but had definitely been thinking about it for a long time.

Otherwise, with Hidan's 'simple' mind, how could he have thought of so much and even analyzed the disadvantages of Jashin-kyo in recruiting people?

After realizing that Hidan was likely serious, Shinji also became serious and began to seriously consider whether there was any need to rebuild Jashin Cult.

After all, from the very beginning, he only regarded the Evil God Cult as an early refuge and a springboard for when he had more power.

Even if Hidan hadn't happened, he would have left that cult that committed so many evil deeds sooner or later.

In his view, even a villain should have their own bottom line and not do all sorts of bad things.

Just like why the Akatsuki organization's popularity has remained consistently high?

This is inseparable from Nagato's efforts to realize the ideal of 'peace'!

In industry jargon, this is the basis that can be used to whitewash one's image at any time in the future!

Although I am the villain, and although I killed, my intentions were good. I did it for world peace, so that no one would have to sacrifice themselves because of this, no more children would be displaced, and everyone could live happily ever after...

Listen to this!

how about it?

Doesn't it suddenly seem less unacceptable?

They might even take the initiative to explain for them, saying emotionally: "It was out of necessity!"

[Chapter 97. I Want to Be the Cult Leader]

Shinji wasn't particularly keen on building his own power base, mainly because his past life experiences had taught him that as long as there were many people, all sorts of ridiculous and absurd things would inevitably arise.

No one lives as carefree as he does now.

I sleep until I naturally wake up every day, travel around and occasionally fight some cursed spirits, stroll around... Second Stage, do whatever I want, and confront whoever I don't like.

Isn't this simple life wonderful?

If you had to ask him to name an ideal or ambition, it would probably be to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world, and incidentally defeat all the cursed spirits, showing them who really calls the shots here!

But now that Er Gouzi at home has such an idea, he can't be too autocratic.

Who knows, those last hundred or so bond points might end up being spent on this!

After all, when PUA is no longer very effective, all you can do is talk to people about ideals and ambitions.

However, let's leave aside the original kind of evil cult.

If we really do that, the censorship authorities will eventually jump out and devour everyone, which would be a losing proposition.

Therefore, even if we really want to revive the heretical cult, we can't act recklessly.

First of all, that doctrine needs to be changed; indiscriminate killing is unacceptable.

It has to be changed, it absolutely has to be changed.

Shinji thought it would be better to change it to hunting cursed spirits. After all, it's all about releasing hormones that have nowhere to go in the body, so killing one thing doesn't matter, right?

Secondly, the practice of offering sacrifices to evil gods can be retained to some extent.

If you really ban it, the second-tier group will fight you to the death in no time and call you a false believer!

So this isn't prohibited, but we need to come up with a reason to fool Hidan.

What is being sacrificed?

The cursed spirits or enemies that you hunted down with your own hands!
