Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

In his perception, the strange overlapping of the five chakra reactions originated from within this man's body.

"I see."

Sasuke understood; he had killed too quickly last time and hadn't noticed this.

By taking another person's heart and storing it within oneself, one gains access to that person's chakra attributes and life force.

Are those five overlapping auras the five hearts inside his body?

"Hey! Hey! We found it! We found it!"

Hidan's loud, boisterous voice rang out as he pointed at Sasuke, a fanatical smile spreading across his face.

"Is that the silver-haired brat? He really does look like he deserves a beating!"

"I can't wait to offer you to the evil god!"

Kakuzu scoffed, "Don't talk such arrogant things, or you'll die soon."

Chapter 219 Is Immortality Truly Immortal?

"I was planning to look for you later." Sasuke raised his eyes, his gaze calmly sweeping over the two figures on the tree branch. "I didn't expect you to come to me so quickly."

"Just as the leader said, you have indeed set your sights on us."

Hidan, carrying a scythe, leaped down from the tree branch and landed steadily ten meters away from Sasuke, his expression unusually serious.

Sasuke scoffed, "Haven't you heard about Kumogakure yet?"

"It was precisely because we had heard of them that the leader sent us here."

Hidan was not provoked by Sasuke's aura. He stretched out his other hand and tightly gripped the strangely shaped necklace around his neck, his eyes flashing with fanaticism.

Let me formally introduce myself.

"My name is Hidan, a loyal apostle of Jashin."

Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly.

It wasn't because of the name, but because the moment the man grasped the necklace, he sensed an extremely peculiar aura emanating from him.

Although the aura was faint, it was completely different from chakra, instead carrying a primal quality.

Natural energy?

Sasuke's heart skipped a beat.

This madman who keeps talking about "evil gods" is actually a "user of immortal arts"?

Or perhaps the "evil god" he speaks of is itself an ancient being that has mastered natural energy?

"I am here on the leader's orders to formally extend an invitation to you."

Hidan didn't notice the change in Sasuke's eyes and continued reciting his prepared speech.

"The leader said that although you killed Deidara and stole our tailed beast, as long as you are willing to accept the invitation to join us..."

"Then everything from the past can be disregarded."

"You don't mind?"

Sasuke couldn't help but laugh out loud, "How arrogant!"

He looked at Hidan, his eyes turning icy. "What right do you cowardly rats have to say such things?"

"Hahaha! Well said!"

Instead of getting angry, Hidan burst into laughter, laughing so hard he almost fell over. "Actually, that's what I thought too!"

He abruptly stopped laughing, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"What makes you think you deserve an invitation from me personally? You're just a greenhorn!"

"so......"

Hidan stood up, gripped the handle of his scythe tightly, and unleashed his killing intent without reservation.

"Before that, let me test your strength!"

"If you are not strong enough, I will cut you into pieces and offer you as the perfect sacrifice to the great evil god!"

He stuck out his tongue and greedily licked his lips.

"A powerful being like you, I think you should be able to please Him quite well!"

The moment he finished speaking, Hidan swung his scythe violently.

The massive three-edged scythe whistled through the air, and the rope at its base instantly extended, hurtling towards Sasuke.

Sasuke raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers together, and at the opportune moment, he gently pinched the skin.

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Hidan's eyes, then he grinned, revealing an even more ferocious smile.

"Not bad strength."

But he was clearly prepared.

The moment the sickle was stopped, his other hand suddenly emerged from his wide sleeve.

He held a short, black metal rod in his hand.

Before the chakra could even surge, the short rod instantly extended like a living thing, transforming into a sharp spear that pierced towards Sasuke's foot.

"Successful!"

Hidan grinned maliciously, his eyes filled with the pleasure of tasting blood.

Even a tiny scratch, just a drop of that brat's blood...

The expected sensation of a sharp blade piercing flesh did not occur.

The force transmitted back from the tip of the spear was enormous, so strong that it made his hand go numb and he almost lost his grip on the weapon.

"what?!"

Hidan's expression changed instantly.

He stared in disbelief at the spot where the spear had struck him.

The clothes there were not only undamaged, but also completely unblemished, without even a trace of white residue!

How can this be? !

That's a black rod that can easily pierce through rock! Is this guy's clothing made of iron?!

"Going through all that trouble... just to hurt me with this thing?"

Sasuke lowered his head and coldly looked down at Hidan, who was still in a thrusting posture.

"Do you think that as long as you hurt me, you can definitely take me down?"

Hidan was startled and instinctively tried to back away.

Sasuke raised his left hand, and a flash of light appeared at the tip of his index finger.

"The fourth bondage method is this rope."

A golden strand of spiritual energy surged from his fingertips, instantly coiling around Hidan's body like a serpent.

"Damn it! Let me go!"

Hidan struggled desperately, trying to break free with brute force.

But the light cord tightened more and more, making him unable to move.

Not far away, Kakuzu, who had been observing coldly, noticed the situation was not good and his eyes narrowed.

But he neither went to help nor chose to run away; he simply remained standing in place.

"Is it related to that evil god?"

Sasuke reached out and grabbed Hidan, lifting him up by the light rope so that he was at eye level with him.

"Since you've gathered so much information about me, you should understand..."

“I used to be very interested in things like gods and deities.”

Behind every ancient creature lies the world's deepest secret.

And the "evil god" that this guy is talking about is obviously one of them.

"of course."

Sasuke abruptly changed the subject, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.

“I am more interested in your organization.”

"Can you tell me everything you know?"

Hidan, suspended in mid-air, listened to Sasuke's words and clicked his tongue, his tone suddenly becoming unusually calm.

"You want to know?"

"Yes, I can tell you."

This quick and decisive agreement surprised even Sasuke slightly.

Isn't the contrast between before and after a bit too great?

Just a moment ago they were shouting to fight and sacrifice themselves to the evil god, how come they've suddenly become so cooperative?

Is it a trap?

Or is this guy just a brainless lunatic?

Sasuke's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Whether it's a trap or not, it's meaningless in the face of absolute power.

"Then tell me."

Sasuke's voice was calm, yet he subtly released a sense of pressure, "Don't try anything funny."

What happened next caught Sasuke somewhat off guard.
