Chapter 228: Hidan: Yes! Dedicate the War to Lord Jashin! [2/3]
Currently, the Jashin Cult was still in its dormant and research phase; Hidan's research had not yet been fully successful.
To find them, Masahiko had Kazuma and the others spend a considerable amount of time.
Fortunately, they found them.
Looking at the data, Hidan was the most successful individual—at least, since being captured six months ago, he hadn't died and had outlasted batch after batch of cultists.
Masahiko looked at the data and couldn't help but feel a bit interested.
Among all current individuals, only a few could achieve rapid recovery, but among those who could—
Presently, only Hidan could still slowly recover even after his internal organs were damaged.
Moreover...
This guy was extremely fanatical, believing in the existence of Lord Jashin more than any other cultist. He performed Jashin rituals every day, using pain to please Lord Jashin.
Is it really just self-hypnosis?
Masahiko grew somewhat intrigued.
He looked at Imagawa.
"This is the only success you currently have, and he seems to have something wrong with his head?"
"Uh, my lord, it's not quite accurate to say that. He simply has a straightforward mind and is extremely devout to Lord Jashin—"
Imagawa said in a low voice.
Masahiko asked, "So, you haven't seen Jashin?"
"No, but Lord Jashin truly exists. He can allow people to avoid death and accelerate recovery; this has been passed down in the secret records of Yugakure."
Imagawa answered excitedly.
He didn't dare provoke the being before him. From just now until now, the other party stood in place, yet others couldn't see him at all—
They couldn't hear him either, as if he were isolated from the world.
To them—
This kind of ability could be called a miracle.
But in reality, Masahiko had only used a simple Genjutsu hypnosis.
He looked at this data and all of Hidan's statistics, and had some rough conjectures in his heart.
Jashin—
Might not necessarily be non-existent.
The 'gods' of the Ninja World were some eerie existences; they did truly exist in some form, and multiple 'gods' might even be the same entity.
However.
As it stood, this power seemed like a strength derived from both the mind and the power of Jashin.
Following this line of thought—
"Have you tried brainwashing or hypnosis?"
"We've definitely used them, but the effect wasn't very good—wait, by hypnosis, do you mean Ninjutsu or something else?"
As a researcher, Imagawa knew about Ninjutsu and Genjutsu and understood some basic knowledge, but he knew he was at the bottom of the Ninja World.
The hypnosis and brainwashing he knew might not be the same as what the other party spoke of.
Masahiko smiled and said, "It's nothing."
In the next second, Imagawa's eyes blurred, and then his eyes widened—the lord before him had disappeared without a sound.
He rubbed his eyes.
"Is it Ninjutsu?"
He understood some basic principles of Ninjutsu and knew many techniques could achieve 'invisibility,' but this feeling of everyone else ignoring them—
Imagawa felt it didn't seem like pure Ninjutsu.
A moment later, a loud, excited shout came from another area: "Lord Jashin! I saw Lord Jashin!"
"For Lord Jashin!"
High-pitched, excited shouting came from inside the room.
Immediately after, a scream echoed through the entire cult base.
Hidan rushed out, holding a blade in his hand.
"Lord Imagawa, I saw Lord Jashin! He took some of my memories and granted me the power of immortality!"
Hidan laughed loudly.
"I've done it! I've succeeded!"
???
Imagawa was confused at first, then he roughly understood—
Was this the hypnosis and brainwashing that mysterious powerhouse mentioned?
This—
Was truly thorough!
He looked at Hidan in a daze, and in the next second, he saw Hidan plunge a knife directly into his own vital organs.
"Ah!!! Is the sensation of pain still not negated?"
Hidan screamed.
The silent Imagawa finally couldn't help but say, "Pain can please Lord Jashin. If you negate the pain, Lord Jashin will also abandon you."
"You're absolutely right, Lord Imagawa!"
Hidan excitedly replied.
Inside the room, a blood-covered burly man rushed out: "I'll kill you, you lunatic!"
This was a researcher.
However—
Squelch!
He slashed a knife at Hidan's neck.
Hidan tilted slightly to avoid his neck and roared, "Bastard, I'm not sure if a decapitation will kill me yet!"
He turned back and saw the other person's fierce expression, and a cruel look immediately appeared on his face.
"Do you want to fight to the death?"
"Hahaha, the loser can just be a sacrifice to please Lord Jashin!"
Hidan laughed crazily.
In the next second, he slashed the burly man.
Blood splattered everywhere.
At this moment—
His expression became dazed, and then his body trembled with excitement: "Yes, I understand! Lord Jashin, thank you for your gift!"
Hidan licked the edge of the blade, swallowing the blood on it into his stomach.
"Lunatic! Lunatic!"
The burly man shouted in terror but didn't dare approach Hidan.
A moment later, Hidan drew the symbol of the Jashin Cult beneath his feet, and his body changed accordingly.
In the shadows, Masahiko, hidden by the Camouflage Hiding Technique and observing everything with his Byakugan, couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
After licking the blood just now, a very special Chakra was produced in Hidan's brain; it was precisely this Chakra that caused further changes in Hidan's body.
Jutsu: Death Controller Possessing Blood!
He laughed loudly.
"Let's all please Lord Jashin together!"
Madman!
Imagawa felt cold all over.
He didn't believe in Jashin at all; he only used Jashin as a tool and a bargaining chip to become stronger. He hadn't expected someone to actually believe in it.
And—
"This guy really received Lord Jashin's gift!"
Imagawa was terrified.
Masahiko didn't stop it; few of these Jashin cultists were normal.
Once he figured out the essence of this research, he quickly lost interest.
The success probability was too low!
It required true devotion and fanatical faith in Jashin.
Simple, straightforward people like Hidan were, after all, a minority.
Even if ordinary people wanted to self-hypnotize, they couldn't truly obtain this power; it wasn't a blessing, but a curse.
Squelch!
Hidan plunged a knife into his chest.
The fleeing burly man screamed and fell to the ground in pain and terror.
For a moment, the base was in chaos.
"Lord Imagawa, what's wrong? Why are you so afraid? This is Lord Jashin's gift! His death proves he wasn't devout!"
Hidan said crazily, "By the way, if you also believe in Lord Jashin, you shouldn't die either, right?"
"You, you, you—"
Imagawa slumped to the ground, constantly scrambling backward.
Hidan approached step by step.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!"
Imagawa screamed.
Hidan's eyes showed disappointment: "Lord Imagawa, it seems you aren't devout to Lord Jashin either—"
"That's enough, Hidan."
A figure appeared out of thin air.
Hidan was about to snap back, but seeing those eyes, he was momentarily stunned: "You are—Lord Jashin? No, I—"
A bit of memory surfaced in his mind.
It seemed the other party was Jashin?
But that's not right, Lord Jashin—
"I am merely an envoy of Lord Jashin, sent by his command to grant you true power."
Masahiko said slowly.
Hidan was stunned for a moment, then came to a realization and said, "Lord Envoy, who are we killing next?"
"You are now a God-Blessed One, a shepherd of Lord Jashin. Ordinary killing is meaningless and cannot please Lord Jashin."
Masahiko said slowly.
Hidan was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly, "Then what should I do?"
"How can the killing of one person compare to the death and pain brought by war?"
Masahiko gave a low, cold laugh, his tone devout. "We want to stir up war in the Ninja World, make this world even more chaotic, and let people sink into the turmoil and suffering of war!"
Yes!
Absolutely right!
Hidan became increasingly fanatical and shouted excitedly, "Yes! Dedicate the war to Lord Jashin!"
