"Yare, yare~ Sorry to keep you waiting."
Tobi scratched his head with one hand and walked out.
"It was probably the seafood feast last night that upset my stomach. As a result, halfway through, a group of wolves with green eyes and drooling surrounded me, and I was so scared that I almost didn't pull up my pants..."
This time, not to mention Hidan, Shinji's face turned dark.
Could a carbon-based lifeform really come up with such an outrageous and clumsy excuse?
Were they being treated as idiots?!
"So that's what happened, I knew you must have gone to take a dump! Hahaha, you even encountered wolves, you're too unlucky! Tell Senior Hidan, how did you wipe in the end~ (winking)"
"Eww Senior Hidan is the worst (shy) That wolf's fur was a bit hard."
"Is that so? I'll try it next time if I have the chance."
Shinji looked at the two people who were exchanging notes on their illnesses with an incredibly shocked expression.
Then he sighed with a complicated expression.
He was wrong, Tobi wasn't treating them as idiots, but there was an idiot among them!
Rewrapping the Kubikiribōchō with a white cloth, this was, after all, the Land of Water, and it would be troublesome if someone saw it.
Maybe members of the Hidden Mist Anbu would come over to ask about Zabuza's whereabouts, and then ask for the Kubikiribōchō back.
"Where to next?"
Shinji glanced at the ground full of snake corpses, "Forget the task, continue deeper."
After knowing what the whole thing was about, the task wasn't important, and the truth couldn't be explained.
Moreover, Manda's huge body would definitely be seen by others, and it was estimated that Hidden Mist ninjas would come over soon to investigate.
Going back now was just asking for trouble, so he simply didn't care.
Anyway, he wasn't here to make money, and whether there was a reward or not, he was going to kill every Cursed Spirit that dared to appear in front of him.
So Shinji and his group of three continued to move forward.
Just as he had expected, not long after they left, Hidden Mist ninjas were urgently dispatched to investigate, after all, no one could ignore the appearance of a huge creature like Manda.
.....
A few days later.
In a once peaceful and tranquil village in the Land of Water, a terrible disaster was now unfolding.
A Cursed Spirit in the form of a merman wearing a crown was leading dozens of low-level Cursed Spirits in a massacre.
Everywhere were the villagers' panicked screams and angry roars of resistance.
With their concerted efforts, they might be able to defeat those Grade 3 and Grade 4 Cursed Spirits, albeit at a cost.
But when it came to Grade 2 Cursed Spirits, it was beyond what these ordinary people could handle.
What's more, the number of Grade 3 and Grade 4 Cursed Spirits alone was enough to make them despair.
"Has the message been sent out?"
An old man asked tremblingly.
"It's been sent out, but it's too late, we're finished, we're all going to die."
Someone slumped to the ground, not moving even as the monster next to him opened its bloody mouth. They had completely despaired.
But just then, a giant blade flashing with cold light whistled through the air, directly slicing off half of the monster's head, saving the life of the person who was about to die.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in front of the many Cursed Spirits.
This figure who arrived in time was none other than Shinji, who had entered the [Scarlet Scale Leaping Load] state.
"Crimson Blood Manipulation Circular Slash Spiral!"
Countless tiny blood blades instantly appeared on Shinji's arms. These blood blades rotated and converged at high speed, eventually forming two spiral cutting storms.
Pfft!!!
The closest few unlucky Cursed Spirits were directly shredded, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Shinji immediately transformed into a killing machine, mercilessly slaughtering every Cursed Spirit in sight.
In the blink of an eye, these Cursed Spirits, who had just been invincible and enjoying their meal, suffered heavy casualties, and the roles of hunter and prey were instantly reversed.
The merman Cursed Spirit, wearing a crown on his head and holding a steel fork in his hand, couldn't help but want to go and find trouble with Shinji.
However, a mysterious person wearing a one-eyed mask didn't know when he had stood behind him, holding a kunai in his hand.
"I stab!"
The merman Cursed Spirit, having been stabbed in the kidneys, immediately stiffened and angrily turned around to chase Tobi.
Before Tobi could be happy for a few seconds, he was being chased and running around wildly.
"Waaa! Senior Shinji, Senior Hidan, help! I'm going to be killed!"
The merman Cursed Spirit's speed was very fast, and the steel fork in his hand was swung with great force.
But he just couldn't hit Tobi. Several times he clearly saw the steel fork pierce through Tobi's body, but the other party was still hopping around.
"Idiot! Over here!"
Hidan's voice immediately made Tobi feel like he had been granted amnesty, and he immediately ran towards Hidan, shouting loudly to claim credit, "Senior Hidan, I succeeded, I got the blood! Ouch"
Tobi's joy turned to sorrow, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he fell flat on the ground.
At the same time, the blood-stained kunai in his hand was also thrown out.
If the merman Cursed Spirit had given up on Tobi at this time and fought for that kunai, perhaps the situation would have been better.
But he simply hated this hateful human who dared to stab him in the kidneys!
So he raised the steel fork and stabbed wildly at Tobi on the ground!
"Waaa! It's so scary, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch"
"Help, someone save me!"
"Ah, I'm dead."
Tobi's neck tilted, and he fell to the ground, not moving.
At this time, the merman Cursed Spirit raised the steel fork in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, not even a drop of blood. He immediately had a black question mark on his face.
"So did I hit him or not?"
Just as the merman Cursed Spirit was confused, Tobi suddenly revived, and scrambled a long way away.
Looking at the ground under him, there were dense holes, all the result of the merman Cursed Spirit's efforts just now.
"Damn it, cunning human!"
The merman Cursed Spirit knew that he had been tricked, and his body turned red in anger.
However, the next moment, a bloody hole was broken open in his chest, and his heart was directly pierced.
It turned out that while Tobi was stalling for time, Hidan had already obtained the blood-stained kunai and prepared the ritual.
Pfft!
The black spear pierced through his own body once again, and Hidan felt the pleasure brought by the pain, a twisted and morbid smile appearing on his face.
"Hahahahaha"
"Die, die, die, die, die, die!"
Every time he shouted die, Hidan would stab his own vitals with a spear.
The merman Cursed Spirit fell to the ground with blood holes all over his body without even knowing what had happened.
Then a golden snake descended from the sky and bit the merman Cursed Spirit's neck, injecting the petrification curse!
Grayish-white spread rapidly.
Before he died, the merman Cursed Spirit seemed to be reaching for the crown on his head, but before he could touch it, his entire body completely petrified, turning into a statue.
