Just as Rinren's eyeball was gouged out.
"Boom!"
A soft sound.
In front of Igone Yu, Rinren, who was buried in the dirt, exploded into a puff of white smoke.
The next second, a wooden stump appeared in the pit.
"Substitution Technique!"
Igone Yu's eyes suddenly constricted, and a storm raged in his heart.
Damn it, experiments showed that undead monsters couldn't extract Chakra! How could this be? Where did the Substitution Technique come from?!
Just as he was stunned, a beating heart, wrapped in paper, appeared at his feet, he didn't know when.
A faint 'hissing' sound interrupted Igone Yu's thoughts.
"Not good! Exploding Tag!"
But before his body could react, the scorching light from the explosion instantly engulfed him.
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the entire dark alley was illuminated as if it were daytime.
Deep in the alley, Rinren, soaked and clutching his chest, gradually emerged, his eyes reflecting the firelight, his face a mix of pain and exhilaration.
"Oh, Zhu Kangping's Ninja Bag is truly a life-saving Divine Artifact! It has Ninjutsu scrolls and Exploding Tags. It's just a pity that the Exploding Tags are all used up."
With the violent explosion, a shattered body was thrown out, falling heavily to the ground, lifeless. Upon closer inspection, it was Igone Yu.
The current Igone Yu had lost his previous Divine Qi, his body covered in burn wounds from the flames, and the area below his knees was empty; it seemed his legs had been blown off at the knees.
Rinren's face was pale.
Although he was immortal, he still had what was called pain. The agony of losing his heart made his handsome face twist violently.
Clutching his chest, Rinren slowly walked to Igone Yu's corpse, carefully examining this Soul figure of the Evil God Cult.
After such a close-range explosion, even with both legs blown off, this guy's hood still covered his head. For some reason, Rinren really wanted to see the face of this executioner who killed without batting an eye.
With one hand pressed to his chest, he slowly extended the other, preparing to lift the covering from this beast-like fellow.
Suddenly, Igone Yu's eyes snapped open, wide and round, with only black pupils and no whites.
"Genjutsu · Mind Control Technique!"
The next second, Rinren's body froze as if under a paralysis spell; his outstretched hand and the hand clutching his chest were both abruptly still.
On the ground, Igone Yu, whose legs were severed at the knees, watched the blackness in his eyes rapidly recede. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of black clotted blood, and his hand, which had been forming a seal, fell limply.
"Damn it, you cunning little brat, I swear, for the rest of your life, you will forever live in my torment!"
Igone Yu said through gritted teeth, blood still constantly oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Although the explosion's firelight was extinguished by the pouring rain, the loud sound of the blast would surely attract the Ninja of the Rain Hidden Village; he had to leave immediately.
Thanks to me still having a Mind Control Technique to control this monster, otherwise, I would have fallen into this brat's hands today.
Thinking this, Igone Yu was overcome with rage. The Qi and blood he had barely suppressed surged again, and another mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.
"Damn monster, get over here and take me away!"
Igone Yu glared fiercely at Rinren's harmless face, wishing he could devour his flesh alive. Unfortunately, he still had to rely on this guy to save his life.
Hearing this, Rinren, controlled by the Genjutsu, extended both hands and effortlessly picked up Igone Yu in a princess carry.
"Hurry up and go!" Igone Yu was about to give orders when suddenly, a very familiar sound entered his ears.
"Hiss hiss hiss"
"Hiss hiss hiss"
"What is that sound?!" Igone Yu was instantly scared to the Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
By the sound of it, this was a damn Exploding Tag! And why was the sound so close?!
Just then, beneath Rinren's clothes on his chest, a blinding white light suddenly flared.
The next second, a violent explosion erupted between the two of them!
White light and flames instantly engulfed both. In the last second before losing consciousness, Igone Yu's mind suddenly recalled the White Coat Old Man's warning before he left: "Find the immortal, dismember him directly, and bring him back. Please, no unnecessary words!"
"Didn't you say there were no Exploding Tags left? Damn it! What a huge pit!"
He didn't know if he would survive, but the guy holding him would definitely survive, after all, he was a damn immortal!
Flames raged, and two figures flew in opposite directions.
One side was the human world, the other was Hell.
"Bang!" Two muffled thuds, one after another, as Rinren and Igone Yu both fell to the ground.
Stimulated by the intense pain, Rinren instantly regained consciousness. His scorched eyelids struggled open, and seeing the scene before him, he instantly understood, a chilling smile slowly forming on his burned face as he muttered to himself.
"Heh~ Wouldn't it be better to just die obediently? Why bother with all these tricks?"
However, the most important thing for him right now was not to bury Igone Yu, but to deal with the incoming Hidden Rain Village Ninja.
If they discovered his secret of immortality, he would probably still end up being sliced and studied.
Thinking of this, Rinren ignored his missing internal organs and the extensive burns on the front of his body. Enduring the tearing pain in his skin, he pulled out several Military Rations Pills from Zhu Kangping's Ninja Bag behind him and shoved them into his mouth.
This was an experience he had summarized from long-term research: as long as he had enough food, his wound recovery speed would increase slightly.
Moreover, he was not like Hidan, dismembered by countless Exploding Tags.
There were only two Exploding Tags in Zhu Kangping's Ninja Bag in total. One blew apart his cursed heart and Igone Yu's lower leg, and the other killed Igone Yu and also made his own internal organs disappear.
Thinking of this, Rinren gave a bitter smile.
Fortunately, he wasn't Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, otherwise, he would be dead beyond dead.
While stuffing Military Rations Pills and taking off his tattered hemp clothes, Rinren quickly burrowed deep into the alley, waiting for his body to recover.
At the same time, a strange thought appeared in Rinren's mind.
If… if I learned Eight Gates, wouldn't that be:
In the morning, Peacock; at noon, Tiger; Evening Elephant comes out, Night Guy dances;
Eight Gates can be opened at will, dancing street dance with the Gate of Death open?
Just thinking about it makes me a little excited!
Damn, all Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, and Dojutsu are trash in front of me, the Mang Jingang !
What Six Paths Sage, I'll kick him flying!
If one kick isn't enough, then a few more kicks, guaranteed to kick out the grand finale!
Thinking of this, Rinren was instantly filled with a sense of security;
However, in his memory, Might Guy's father, Might Duy, although he beat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a pulp, his combat power was still much weaker compared to Guy.
Indeed, Eight Gates also varies from person to person; for those with strong Taijutsu, the Eight Gates provides more benefits. I still need to stick to the Taijutsu path, it can't change for a hundred years!
Sitting in the darkness deep in the alley, Rinren pulled the skin on both sides of his abdominal wound. This amount of time was not enough for his internal organs to regrow, so he could only let the skin close first, and as for the organs beneath the skin, they would have to slowly grow later.
Watching the slowly closing wound, Rinren felt a slight anxiety in his heart, regretting that he hadn't learned tailoring skills.
He knew that if the wound was stitched with thread, it would heal very quickly.
Rinren's immortality was not much different from Hidan's immortality in his impression, except that he lacked Hidan's bug-like Curse Technique · Blood Control Death.
Overall, it was a castrated version of immortality.
However, according to the White Coat Old Man in the lab, this type of immortality was not a gift from the Evil God, but rather more like a curse.
Rinren mostly agreed with this view.
First, there was the pain. Unlike Hidan, he didn't enjoy suffering. On the contrary, Rinren hated pain. Even after being cut, burned, struck by lightning, and air-dried for more than half a year, he still hadn't adapted to this debilitating physical pain.
The most agonizing part was the pain when his body healed;
Rinren still clearly remembered the unbearable itching that emerged from the depths of his Soul when his shattered bones slowly mended.
Secondly, there was Chakra.
To be precise, Rinren had already mastered Chakra Extraction Technique in the underground base.
This was also one of the White Coat Old Man's experiments.
And Rinren, who had mastered the Chakra Extraction Technique, although he pretended on the surface that he couldn't extract Chakra no matter what, he had secretly experimented himself and found that his body could extract Chakra.
It was just that the amount was truly pitiful.
He had observed another test subject in the laboratory, the child named Yang Ren. If Yang Ren's Chakra extraction speed was like normal urination, then Rinren's speed was like having kidney stones, dripping slowly and frustratingly.
However, it was fortunate that his immortal cells seemed to be able to extract Chakra indefinitely.
This also meant that given enough time, he could also drip out a large pot.
But in Rinren's opinion, these were not very important.
The most important thing was that Rinren's current body was only seven years old, and he was delighted to discover that immortality did not affect his development.
In other words, his body could grow, and little Rinren would also grow with age.
At the same time, his physical fitness could be enhanced through training.
It was precisely because his body had endured so many blows that his bone strength was extremely abnormal; even an Exploding Tag exploding close to his body, his bones could withstand it.
Look at Igone Yu not far away; only a spine tenuously connected his upper and lower body.
And what about himself? Apart from his internal organs being completely blown away, his sternum at most had some fractures.
As Rinren pondered, not far away, a series of chaotic footsteps accompanied by the sound of splashing water rapidly approached.
"Stay alert! The explosion happened right here!"
At the alley entrance, a mature and magnetic male voice rang out.
