Looking at Tobi crying so sadly, everyone in Mist Hidden lowered their heads in silence.
Those who were more simple-minded, like Choijuro, were even moved to tears by their "pure friendship."
"Senior Shinji, don't die~ Wuwuwu…"
"The dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences, alas!"
"Senior Shinji, you knew the dangers involved long ago, why did you insist on coming? Was it for the reward? I, Tobi, know you're not that kind of person. You must have done it because you couldn't bear it, right?"
Hearing this, Mei felt even more guilty.
"Don't worry. Although we all know that Akagi's actions cannot be repaid with a mere reward, as Mizukage, I, on behalf of Mist Hidden, will definitely provide a satisfactory reward. This is not compensation, but our collective gratitude."
Upon hearing this, the 'dead with unfinished business' Shinji suddenly winked at the 'grieving' Tobi.
Hidan, who was still 'heartbroken' and crying, immediately understood, "No! Senior Shinji, I must save you!"
"Although this is an incomplete forbidden technique, and the price is the lives of Senior Hidan and myself, it's worth it to save Senior Shijni's life!"
Hidan heard this and had a look of utter confusion.
Doesn't Shinji have immortality like me?
And if you're going to use a forbidden technique, fine, but why are you dragging me into it?
"Mmmph mmmph…"
"Senior Shinji, look, Senior Hidan also agrees with my method."
Hidan began to struggle again, roaring internally, "I don't agree with your mother! Let me go quickly, or I'll kill your whole family!"
At this moment, everyone else started to persuade Hidan not to be so impulsive. What kind of forbidden technique could revive the dead?
It sounded unreliable just by hearing it!
"Don't try to persuade me anymore. Even if there's only a 1% chance of success, I will save Senior Shinji!"
Good heavens, a 1% chance of success? Are you buying a lottery ticket here?
Just as everyone was about to persuade him further, Tobi suddenly shouted, then pulled out a kunai and, with a plop, cut open Hidan's chest.
It was so fast and ruthless that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say three liters of blood spurted out instantly!
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately shut their mouths and stopped trying to persuade him.
Nonsense, blood has already been drawn. Who would dare to say another word now? If the ritual fails, who's to blame?
"With the blood of us two…"
Tobi was speaking when he suddenly paused, then gritted his teeth, a look of determination on his face. He lightly pricked his own fingertip and squeezed out a drop of blood.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Hey, aren't you going to look at your companion?
He looks like he's about to bleed to death!
If you don't need that much blood, why did you stab yourself so deep and hard?
Actually, you two have a grudge, right?
Otherwise, why would you tie him up?!
Countless points of mock or roast got stuck in everyone's throats, making their faces turn red, yet they couldn't spit them out.
"…Oh, Great Evil God, please descend your divine power and resurrect this person!"
After saying a bunch of nonsense, Tobi's expression immediately turned solemn, and he pointed at Shinji.
Instantly, the wind rose and the clouds surged, and the heavens and earth changed color!
What a terrifying forbidden technique, it could even affect the weather?!
Many people immediately felt a sense of awe.
Only Ringo Ameyuri glanced at the sky and thought, "Huh? It's going to rain."
"Resurrect, Evil God Reincarnation Technique!"
As Tobi gave the signal, with a scream of "Ahhh," he collapsed to the side. The 'dead with unfinished business' Shinji suddenly sat up, his eyes gradually shifting from confusion to doubt, then to shock!
"I'm not dead?"
Whoosh!
The surroundings immediately erupted in an uproar!
"He actually revived?"
"It's simply incredible. The Evil God Reincarnation Technique, I'll remember it."
"Can it even bring the dead back to life? It truly is a forbidden technique!"
"I wonder if the Evil God Reincarnation Technique is difficult to learn. I also want to revive someone…"
Shinji ignored the clamor around him and immediately threw himself onto Tobi. "Tobi, Tobi! What's wrong, Tobi?"
Mei said with great internal conflict, "To save you, he performed the forbidden technique—the Evil God Reincarnation Technique…"
"What?! It's the Evil God Reincarnation Technique?!" (Shocked, super loud!)
"To save me, you two actually paid such a great price. You know, once this forbidden technique is used, the caster will only have at most one month left to live. After one month, their soul will be taken by the Great Evil God, and they will surely die!"
"This is the glory one can obtain by believing in the Great Evil God, and it is also an equivalent exchange. You really didn't need to do this, Tobi…"
Hidan said nothing, but weakly raised his hand, then slowly clenched it, leaving only his thumb.
"Wuwu… so touching."
"With only one month of life left, he's still comforting others, saying he's fine… It seems I've really misunderstood this brother Hidan. He's amazing, a true man!"
This thumb could be interpreted in any way, but in reality, it meant 'Well done!'
Shinji immediately began to wail heartbrokenly while glancing at the expressions of those around him.
Everything was unspoken!
Although the performance was a bit too exaggerated and he was trying too hard, it was just right for the occasion.
Many people's eyes were already red with emotion from their bond.
In reality, his kinship value with Tobi was only 71 points… the maximum was a thousand!
On the other side, Hidan, who had full kinship with Shinji, felt like he was bleeding to death and was very weak. "Can someone help me? Just stop the bleeding… Damn it!"
At this moment, Mei didn't know what to say.
Her expression was incredibly dramatic!
The last time she was this dumbfounded was the previous time…
It was when she returned to the village and met Mangetsu Hōzuki again, and the mark on her body reacted.
Even Mangetsu Hōzuki had secretly joined the Jashin Cult, which had made her very uneasy.
Of course, Mangetsu Hōzuki was also utterly shocked!
Even his thoughts were identical, "Mizukage-sama has also joined the Jashin Cult?! When did this happen? Was it a long time ago? If so, doesn't that mean the Land of Water has already…"
Both of them realized the terrifying nature of the Jashin Cult and began to suspect each other.
It wasn't until they fought side-by-side against the enemy in the enemy's domain, risking their lives, that their views gradually changed.
Mei suddenly felt that perhaps she should find some time to talk to Mangetsu Hōzuki properly.
Otherwise, she always felt that the people in this Jashin Cult seemed mentally unstable…
