Chapter 43

The moment Hidan finished speaking, his entire body was covered in darkness, and white, bone-like lines appeared.

Death Possession!

"What strange ninjutsu is this?" Zabuza had a bad feeling as he looked at the skeletal-like Hidan.

In his attempt to break free earlier, his left arm had been scratched by Hidan's nails, and a small amount of blood had spilled out.

Apparently, Hidan had obtained that blood.

Combined with Kaze's previous warning, Zabuza quickly formed hand seals in his hand.

"Suiton: Daibakufu" (Water Release: Great Waterfall)

"Everything is ready, enjoy the pain!"

Seeing that Zabuza was about to release a ninjutsu, Hidan immediately pulled out a massive iron spike that pierced through his palm.

Zabuza's hand seals were instantly disrupted, and a large bloody hole appeared in his palm!

"How...?" Zabuza looked at the opponent in disbelief.

His heart sank instantly.

Now he understood the opponent's jutsu, or rather, it should be called a curse technique.

Immortality, combined with shared damage that required certain conditions to be met!

"Lord Zabuza!"

Seeing Zabuza injured again, Haku, who had been calmly observing from behind, couldn't stand still anymore.

He used the Body Flicker Technique and instantly appeared behind Hidan.

The Thousand Needles in his hand fiercely stabbed Hidan's body.

Hidan, perceiving the attack from behind, made no attempt to dodge. Instead, he laughed heartily and lowered his head, using his forehead to collide with the incoming Thousand Needles.

"Hahaha!"

"Good timing, send him to his death!"

Shoo!

At the critical moment, Haku unconsciously pulled back most of his strength.

The Thousand Needles only left a shallow scratch on Hidan's cheek.

At the same time, Zabuza, who was bound by bandages in the distance, was also soaked in a large amount of crimson.

"You bastard, release your jutsu quickly!"

Seeing Zabuza injured again, Haku immediately understood the current situation and retracted his weapon.

Hearing Haku's futile curses, Hidan burst into maniacal laughter with a sickly expression.

"Hahaha, my curse is unbreakable!"

"Enjoy the blessings of Lord Jashin, revel in the pleasure that surpasses pain when pierced through vital spots!"

Hidan's iron spike suddenly thrust forward again.

Its target was Zabuza's chest!

Squelch!

The sound of the blade piercing through flesh and blood rang out.

"Lord Zabuza!" Haku turned his head in horror to look at Zabuza.

He saw a bloody hole appearing in Zabuza's chest, and the bandages on his face were also soaked in blood.

"Stop calling him, little beauty. It will be your turn soon!"

Hidan pulled out the iron spike from his chest and pointed his scythe at Haku.

But before he could make a move, Zabuza, who was in the distance, moved.

In an instant, he appeared in front of Hidan, his body engulfed in a faint red chakra flame, and he raised his beheading sword high.

"I didn't expect to have to use the power the boss gave me right from the first strike. It consumed quite a lot."

"You really... made me lose face!"

Listening to Zabuza's low voice, Hidan initially showed the same surprised expression as before.

"You're not dead!?"

But then, he followed with ecstatic joy, "You also have immortality! You are also a follower of Lord Jashin!"

As the large blade descended, Hidan's hand holding the iron spike instantly dropped.

Meanwhile, Zabuza caught his own falling hand in time and pressed it against his wound.

Pure Yang Release chakra surged rapidly, and the visible naked eye, the severed flesh rapidly healed and scabbed over.

"You can heal that quickly too??"

Hidan, who had been shocked a moment ago, was dumbfounded, followed by anger.

"You bastard! How dare you receive more of Lord Jashin's favor than me!"

"Lord Jashin? You really are a fool!" Zabuza sneered at Hidan, then quickly stepped back.

"Haku, sever his limbs. I want to see what he can do without them."

The wounds on Zabuza's chest and arm were only temporarily held together and had not yet fully healed.

Zabuza dared not continue tearing at his own wounds, nor did he allow Haku to attack Hidan's vital spots. He feared that he would be the first to give in and end up dead.

"Understood!" Seeing that Zabuza was unharmed, Haku breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

However, before Haku could act, Hidan, who was standing by, went mad.

"It's impossible! I am Lord Jashin's most loyal follower! I am the most favored one!"

"You're definitely lying to me, trying to trick me into killing myself!"

Hidan, with his remaining hand gripping the scythe, aimed three blades directly at his own neck, face, and forehead.

He no longer cared about killing the others after losing his own head. He just wanted to see Zabuza die in front of him.

"Stop!" Seeing Hidan's actions, Haku quickly moved forward to intervene, aiming a thousand needles at his joints.

But Hidan, who was skilled in taijutsu, had already been prepared.

With a slight dodge, he evaded Haku's thousand needles, while his knife penetrated the skin with undiminished momentum.

However, it only pierced the skin, rendering him completely immobile.

"You're quite good, but this is where it ends," said a shadow clone of Kaze, interrupting Hidan's actions. He had covered his body in malicious crimson chakra.

The nine tails behind him wrapped around Hidan tightly, lifting him high into the sky.

"Great, it's Kaze-sama who's taking action!" Haku's suspended heart settled once again, and he quietly stepped back.

Zabuza's face darkened, full of unwillingness, as he lowered his head.

"This terrifying chakra!"

"This extreme malice and killing intent!"

"This ominous and evil aura, like a mother's embrace!"

"Lord Jashin! You are the great Lord Jashin!!"

Being entangled by Kaze, Hidan was initially shocked, but then he became ecstatic.

The way he looked at Kaze was as if he was beholding the world's greatest treasure!

Even at the mention of Lord Jashin, his face showed such fanaticism that his body trembled uncontrollably!

Since Kaze's chakra given to Zabuza and the others was a pure version, Hidan initially didn't feel anything.

But when Kaze used it, the malevolence and ominous aura of the Nine-Tails, combined with Kaze's own extreme malice, all burst forth.

It was the malevolence that Hidan had never witnessed in his entire life!

The kind of malevolence that wanted to destroy everything and kill everything!

It was akin to the legendary Lord Jashin!

"Well done, my faithful follower. Don't refuse my gift."

Kaze deliberately released his aura without any concealment.

It was the first time he completely unleashed his own aura, soaked in malevolence and resentment.

"Gift!!!" Upon hearing the word "gift," Hidan immediately thought of the faint red chakra flames on Zabuza earlier.

He spread open his remaining arm, dropping his weapons to the ground, and showed an appearance of complete surrender.

Kaze did not show any mercy either. The remaining six empty tails behind him impaled Hidan's body like sharp blades.

A large amount of raw, malevolent chakra flowed into his body.

"Ah! Haha, this is amazing! This power! Haha, this pain! I"m ecstatic! So ecstatic!"

"Haha, Aaaahhh!!!"

Hidan screamed in agony while laughing maniacally. His skin was constantly burned and repaired.

Until the dust settled, Kaze reattached Hidan's severed arm and let him down.

"From now on, you shall follow me," Kaze declared.

Upon hearing this, Hidan's fervor intensified. He even knelt down and reverently kissed Kaze's shoes.

"Great Lord Jashin, I am your devoted servant, ready to carry out your orders!"

Zabuza/Haku: "..."

These fanatical followers of the evil god were absolutely insane!
