Hidan only had time to hold the scythe horizontally in front of his chest: *Clang...*
The sickle, along with his neck, was severed in an instant.
Hidan's head was tossed high into the air before landing.
A familiar figure appeared in front of Yaoyue.
"Kawasaki-sama!!!"
Yaoyue was overjoyed. She had been traveling with Itachi and the others for several years and had never seen the vice-chief before.
"What are you yelling about!"
Kawasaki slapped Yaoyue on the head, making him stagger.
"Why not interrupt his spellcasting animation!"
Kawasaki said with disappointment.
...
In the forests of the land of hot springs.
What is...the spellcasting wind-up?
Yaoyue was stunned by the attack.
At that moment, Hidan on the ground opened his eyes and howled wildly, "Aaaaah, it hurts! You bastard, how dare you interrupt the evil god's ritual!"
"You deserve to die."
"They're still alive after all that?"
Uchiha Yaoyue was terrified; a head talking was truly bizarre.
"Hahaha, this is all thanks to the evil god! I am immortal! Immortal!"
Even if all that's left is your head, I'll crawl over and bite your throat out!
Kawasaki, expressionless, took out a kunai and threw it forcefully.
The kunai was shoved straight into Hidan's mouth, smashing his tongue along with it, leaving Hidan only able to make whimpering sounds.
Kawasaki turned to Yaoyue and said, "Look at the picture at his feet. His scythe is stained with your blood. As soon as he licks it into his mouth..."
“If you stand in that circle, your life will be connected to it. If he stabs you in the heart, you will die right here.”
Yaoyue turned pale with fright, only then realizing that she had just narrowly escaped death.
"You clearly saw him drawing on the ground, preferring to get hit by darts rather than leave the circle, why didn't you interrupt him?"
Kawasaki was furious; his hotheaded Uchiha clansman had almost lost his life.
Yaoyue lowered her head: "I'm sorry, Lord Kawasaki."
"never mind."
Kawasaki's anger subsided.
After all, he was a prophet and knew Hidan's methods, which others did not, so it was understandable that they would be cautious and not approach.
"You've come here to deal with the evil cult?"
Yaoyue nodded: "Yes, Lord Kawasaki, a cult of evil gods has suddenly appeared in the Land of Hot Springs."
Some people are simply unkillable, so they asked the Sound Village for help, which is why we came.
"How many people came? Who was in charge?"
"Reporting to you, sir, there were six in total. It was a team led by Zhishui. They had already eliminated three strongholds. They encountered this person during a reconnaissance mission."
Yaoyue answered respectfully.
In such a small country, the skill levels of ninjas varied greatly, and most of them had not received formal training.
Some of them couldn't even defeat Konoha's genin, let alone the Uchiha's top fighters.
Therefore, the fact that six people came, with Zhishui as the leader, was already a great honor for these outsiders.
Kawasaki glanced sideways and saw Hidan on the ground still groaning.
But a person whose tongue has been cut off cannot produce a clear sound...
Chapter 72 Kawasaki's Strength! Overwhelming Domination! Immortality! The Rise of the Uchiha!
Within the Akatsuki organization, Kawasaki's biggest annoyance was Hidan, not because he was stupid.
Rather, everyone else who joined had their own reasons.
Hidan, however, joined purely to please the Jashin.
They keep proselytizing, hoping to recruit more people.
Although there is only one immortal Hidan at present, it is hard to guarantee that a second one will not appear in the future.
This kind of cult that is purely about killing must be eradicated!
Initially, Kawasaki planned to take Hidan's head back to Orochimaru for research, but then he thought it was too disgusting.
Let's just dig a hole and bury him, out of sight, out of mind.
Kawasaki's eyes suddenly darted around, his ordinary Sharingan splitting into the Mangekyou Sharingan, instantly summoning a giant Susanoo.
Yaoyue stared in awe at the tens of meters tall Kawasaki Susanoo. This was the divine power of Lord Kawasaki!
Not far away, Uchiha Shisui and his group looked up and saw the enormous Susanoo in the forest. "It's Kawasaki-senpai! Let's go!"
Shisui was very excited. He hadn't seen Kawasaki-senpai for many years and never expected to meet him here.
Kisame and the others, who were in the distance, also gathered in this direction when they saw Susanoo appear.
"Boom!"
Amidst the deafening roar.
Kawasaki's Susanoo punched Hidan's head, creating a deep crater along with the ground.
He looked down and saw a bloody, mangled mass in the pit, and then there was no more sound.
Kawasaki is very curious. Now that I've smashed you Hidan into Hidan-chan, let's see if you can revive.
His Susanoo pulled out its arm, swung it left and right, burying Hidan-chan in the ground. Boom!!
Using the same method, Kawasaki smashed Hidan's body into a pulp, dug another pit, and buried him there.
Yaoyue watched in stunned silence. Kawasaki-sama was truly ruthless. *Swish swish swish*
The sound rang out, and Shisui and the others arrived first, followed closely by Kisame and the others.
Seeing that Hidan's two body parts had been dealt with, Kawasaki put away Susanoo.
When Shisui saw Kisame and the others appear, his heart tightened, since Kisame and Kyoko Kurita were dressed in Kirigakure attire.
However, Kawasaki quickly landed in front of Shisui. "Don't be nervous, '857' is one of us."
Kawasaki's words brought a sigh of relief to Shisui and the others. "Why did you personally come out to carry out the mission? Have you solved your problem?"
Kawasaki asked.
Shisui nodded: "Lord Orochimaru has prepared a stabilizing agent for us. It's fine to use it appropriately."
Kawasaki nodded, saying nothing more. He would know the answer when he asked Orochimaru later.
He briefly introduced everyone's names, and said nothing more.
But Uchiha Shisui's name was renowned throughout Kirigakure, and Kisame Hoshigaki's shark-like eyes occasionally darted towards Shisui.
Kawasaki watched this unfold, secretly amused. Ever since Kisame Hoshigaki obtained Samehada, his strength had been increasing day by day.
But he was always in a hurry, and there were always petty thieves along the way, so he hardly had a chance to make a move.
Now that he's seen Uchiha Shisui, he's naturally itching to get back to him. He needs to complete the mission first and return to Otogakure immediately.
Kawasaki ignored Kisame and focused on finishing the mission first.
Zhi Shui reported that they had destroyed three strongholds of the evil god cult in succession, and that some of the evil god cult members had modified their bodies.
The increased strength and the absence of pain initially caused some trouble, but later did not pose a real resistance.
They have determined that the headquarters of the evil cult is located in a cave in the northwest.
It seems that only Hidan was a successful experiment; others were unable to curse and kill others like Hidan did.
To save time, they hurried along, Kawasaki saying:
"The evil cult has a kind of curse that can kill you by taking your blood. Remember not to get hurt."
"If you see a magic circle drawn under someone's feet, you must destroy the magic circle or move it out of the range."
"There may be other undead beings who can move even after their limbs have been severed."
The Uchiha listened with serious expressions. The branches they had previously eliminated had only undergone some simple physical modifications. They hadn't expected the Evil God Cult to have such capabilities.
Ninjas are strong in attack but weak in defense; they can easily be caught off guard and suffer a crushing defeat. Information about Kawasaki is crucial.
The group quickly arrived at the cave entrance, where two guards stood watch.
Shi Shui leaped down, his eyes flashing, and the two guards fell to the ground in response.
Then everyone entered one by one.
Kawasaki looked up at the restless Kisame Hoshigaki. "You should lend a hand, Kisame."
Kisame laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Yes, sir."
He then followed Zhishui and the others into the cave. "You wait here for us; it'll be over soon."
Shiro and Kurita Kyoko were unwilling to fight, and Kimimaro was forbidden from fighting by Kawasaki, so they left a few people outside to wait.
Kawasaki, wanting to see Kisame's current skill level, slowly followed him into the cave.
...
The Land of Hot Water, a cave belonging to the Evil God Cult.
There were few torches inside the cave, making it dimly lit.
But under Kawasaki's X-ray vision, everything was clearly visible.
