After Kakashi was handed over to Jiraiya by Muzan, the surrounding air immediately fell into silence. Kakuzu glanced at Hidan, then at Muzan and Kurenai, and without any hesitation, immediately shouted, "Split up and go!"
Having said that, Kakuzu ignored Hidan and immediately sped off into the distance.
That sibling pair, Muzan and Kurenai, possessed the ability to fly. If he and Hidan stayed together, the final outcome would be that neither of them would be able to escape!
Kakuzu was still carrying Naruto on his back. After Jiraiya saw him leave, he immediately carried Kakashi and pursued them.
At this moment, Hidan only reacted half a beat later, cursing, and then ran off in the opposite direction.
Muzan and Kurenai exchanged glances, then immediately pursued close behind Hidan.
Under the surveillance of the God's Eye of Music, Hidan couldn't escape no matter what.
The not-so-tense pursuit lasted for about ten minutes. After Hidan finally managed to create some distance, he stopped and turned to prepare for battle. "Damn it! That bastard Kakuzu! The next time I see him, I'll definitely rip him apart!!"
The two slowly emerged from the shadows. Kurenai silently sensed for a moment, then nodded at Muzan.
Jiraiya was already far away from them, and there were no chakra reactions nearby. Hidan's fate was sealed.
Muzan said, "Deal with him. We still need to prepare for the trade with Orochimaru later. He doesn't seem to like us very much."
Hidan scoffed, then rested his scythe on his shoulder, and asked Muzan and Kurenai, "What do you two want from me? I don't recall killing your parents."
Muzan and Kurenai's eyes narrowed slightly.
Clearly, Hidan had a good talent for pissing people off.
Muzan's eyes turned cold. "Immortal body, is that what you call awesome? But I'm very curious, if I throw your body into a meat grinder and grind you into minced meat, then scatter you into the ocean to feed the fish, would you be dead or alive then?"
"Hah!?!?" Hidan's eyes widened in an instant. Even if his brain wasn't working well, he knew that if he turned into that state, he would definitely be dead! His evil god wouldn't even be able to resurrect a pile of minced meat!!
Hidan immediately jumped backwards, instantly abandoning the idea of fighting. He then feigned a loud roar, but ended up running away.
However, at that moment, countless cracks immediately appeared on the staff in Muzan's hand. Dazzling light emanated from these cracks. He simultaneously swung the staff towards Hidan's direction.
Then, Crack!!
The staff exploded in an instant, and countless rays of light burst forth, completely engulfing Hidan!
And when everything returned to calm, Hidan's figure had already disappeared in the forest!
Facing someone like Hidan, who was completely ignorant of space ninjutsu and barrier ninjutsu, this unnamed interdimensional barrier ninjutsu's effect was truly excellent.
Muzan and Kurenai successfully entered the alien dimension through the spatial coordinate they left behind. At this moment, Hidan was wide-eyed, looking at the dark red sky, utterly bewildered.
It wasn't until the two of them gradually appeared that Hidan yelled at them, "You two bastards! What in the world is this place?!"
No one answered him. Muzan silently observed Hidan. Hidan was not a strong person in the traditional sense. He was more like an ordinary person who had accidentally obtained a mysterious book.
He was impulsive, reckless, and acted without much thought. There was nothing about him that matched his supposed strength.
The reason he was still alive was probably because he was absorbed by the Akatsuki before he caused even greater trouble.
Kurenai pulled out a scroll from her ninja pouch, then unfurled it and formed a hand seal. With a "Whoosh," a gigantic Executioner's Blade appeared in her hand.
Now, what she needed was a sharper weapon.
"Be careful," Muzan whispered.
"I know," Kurenai nodded slightly. Immediately, green chakra emerged from her body, flowing around her. It was clear she had activated the fifth gate of the Eight Inner Gates, the Gate of Limit!
"Damn it! You actually dare to look down on me!" Hidan, ignored by the two, immediately reached out and grabbed his Triple-Bladed Scythe, then swung it towards Kurenai!
Midway, Hidan's body suddenly moved at high speed, then he seemed to stick to the ground, moving like a flying swallow. In an instant, he transformed into a streak of light. The Triple-Bladed Scythe swung out a wave of red light, sweeping towards Kurenai's legs!
Clang!!!
A crisp clang sounded!
Kurenai plunged her Kubikiribocho into the ground, blocking Hidan's attack. The immense force caused the Kubikiribocho to bounce up, directly sending Hidan flying into the air!
Crash!!!
Hidan hurriedly pulled his scythe back, holding it in front of him, but he was still struck by this immense force, falling like a meteor and creating a huge pit in the ground!
But this wasn't the end!
Two purple wings suddenly appeared behind Kurenai. The wings vigorously flapped, carrying her downwards towards Hidan!
CRASH!!!!!
Hidan fiercely kicked the ground and began to retreat explosively. However, the impact wave spread at an alarming speed, catching up to him and causing his body to become unstable, stopping him slightly for a moment.
And in that instant!
Whoosh!!
A flash of blade light passed by!
A deep bloody scar immediately appeared on Hidan's chest!!!
Hidan's taijutsu ability was very strong, but his 'strength' was entirely based on his immortal body.
It's like Rock Lee and Orochimaru. Rock Lee's pure taijutsu skills were undoubtedly superior to Orochimaru's, but could Rock Lee win against Orochimaru in a direct taijutsu confrontation?
The answer is no, because Orochimaru, when using taijutsu, incorporates summoning ninjutsu and body modifications, complementing his taijutsu skills to a very high degree.
Hidan was also like this. His taijutsu ability completely relied on his immortal body. When an enemy inflicted harm on him, they would find that it actually didn't cause any harm to him at all, giving Hidan an opportunity to counterattack.
But once his ability was known to the enemy, his taijutsu ability would plummet drastically.
It was like facing Deidara; his speed couldn't keep up with Deidara, his taijutsu couldn't kill Deidara, and Deidara even performed a close-up magic trick right in front of him without him noticing.
So, apart from his immortal body and his Death Controlling Possessed Blood technique, Hidan really had no outstanding qualities. In fact, his single-mindedness lowered the overall capability of the Akatsuki members.
Hidan was forced back, but Kurenai's footsteps did not stop. She swung her Kubikiribocho and hacked at Hidan without any strategy!
Each strike of their weapons erupted in a burst of sparks and a loud clang. The recoil caused Hidan's arms to go numb; he almost couldn't hold onto his weapon anymore!
Muzan paced around, setting up a formation for Kurenai. Her moves had no special techniques; her speed was just so fast that the opponent couldn't react, and her power was so great that the opponent couldn't parry. But this display radiated a kind of...
...mathematical beauty.
Clang, clang, clang!!
Sparks continuously flew between the two. Hidan tried to exchange injuries with Kurenai and fight to the death, but the immense force coming from her made him realize that if he truly did that, her Kubikiribocho would directly split his body in half!!
And at this moment.
CLANG!!
With a loud crash, Hidan finally revealed a fatal flaw under Kurenai's fierce onslaught. Muzan seized the opportunity to instantly extend a talisman chain from beneath Hidan's feet, binding his legs in one go!
"Damn it!!!" Hidan was instantly shocked. At this moment, Kurenai also poured a large amount of chakra into her arm! Then, she used the Monster Strength Technique and unleashed it with a fierce roar!
CRASH!!!!!!
The immense force directly sent the Blood Triple-Bladed Scythe flying from Hidan's hand, then it landed tens of meters away!
At the same time, more than a dozen talisman chains rapidly shot out, completely binding his entire body in a knot!
"Damn it!!! Let go of me!!!" His chakra value was not high, and he couldn't use other ninjutsu. Hidan's struggle had no effect.
Kurenai then slashed him several times, cutting off his limbs and so on. His head also rolled on the ground, making a thud-thud sound, stopping after a couple of rolls.
"Bastards! You actually dare to do this to me!" Lord Jashin will absolutely not let you go!" Hidan could only utter two harsh words.
However, to Muzan's surprise, Hidan's wounds only bled a little before stopping. Was it due to his physique, or some other reason?
"Jashin, if he really exists, I'd really like to meet him. But it doesn't matter, we have a long time ahead."
Saying that, Muzan picked up Hidan's head, put it into a black cloth bag, and then applied a seal to the bag, severing the connection between inside and outside.
At this time, Kurenai also retrieved Hidan's other body parts. The two wrapped these limbs and feet in scrolls one by one, then sealed them one by one. In a short while, all the work was completed.
Muzan fiddled with the 'sealed left leg' in his hand. He suddenly laughed because he also had the sealed right leg, sealed left hand, sealed right hand, plus the sealed torso and head. Was he trying to create a sealed Exodia?
After leaving the alien dimension, Kurenai sensed Jiraiya and the others' location and found that they had already fled far away. Muzan then ignored the outcome.
Anyway, as long as Naruto didn't die in their hands, Muzan was always worried that Asura and the Sage of Six Paths were watching Naruto.
The timing of the Sage of Six Paths' appearance in the Fourth Great Ninja War was too coincidental. Moreover, the power he bestowed upon Sasuke directly made them the new duo of the ninja world and even sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Was it because Sasuke was strong, or because the Sage of Six Paths gave them strong powers?
Muzan took a deep breath, then glanced at the stars in the sky and said to Kurenai, "Let's go. After we finish this formation, we can rest for a few days."
Kurenai nodded. The two once again used the Peacock Sacred Art and sped towards Konoha's location.
They were going to prepare countermeasures against Orochimaru.
