"Wow! So magnificent~~"
When Tobi returned, his gaze was immediately drawn to the scene before him.
A dense forest of white bones bloomed on the earth, and at the same time, two figures were frozen in place.
Hidan stood on the ground, pierced by several white bones, crisscrossed and bloody, with a black spear lodged in his heart.
Looking at Kimimaro, his body was also riddled with holes, his face contorted in a grimace. His right hand had transformed into an extremely sharp bone spiral spear, its tip only about 1-2 centimeters from Hidan's head.
It looked like they had both died together!
But in reality, Hidan had won.
This was because Hidan was immortal, and he had completed the ritual beforehand, piercing the black spear into his heart.
However, Kimimaro's vitality in his curse mark state and his tenacious will allowed him to survive for a few more seconds even with his heart pierced, just a tiny bit away from completing his final blow.
But unfortunately, those few seconds Kimimaro borrowed from heaven ultimately turned into regret.
This was a worthy opponent!
"Hmm? It seems Senior Hidan was also taken down. Great, doesn't that mean I can become the leader of the Jashinism cult? If Senior Shinji agrees~"
"Dream on! I, Grandpa Hidan, am the leader of the Jashinism cult! You and Shinji, you bastards, will never even dream of it, never!"
Hidan suddenly opened his eyes and roared at Tobi.
Tobi was startled. "Ah?! You're still alive!"
His tone was surprised, yet filled with deep regret.
A well-character popped out on Hidan's temple. "Aren't you going to get me out of here quickly!"
"Oh, oh, oh, heave-ho, heave-ho~"
Tobi strained with all his might and finally managed to pull Hidan off the 'bone skewer.' During the process, Hidan cursed incessantly from the pain.
His already severe injuries were doubled by Tobi's clumsy efforts.
"Phew~ I'm exhausted."
"Oh dear, Senior Hidan, you barely managed to finish. Is that okay?"
"If I had known, I should have let Senior Hidan chase that slippery little guy."
Hidan couldn't help but glare at him, his hand instinctively reaching for the Scythe beside him. "Tobi, do you want me to send you to see Lord Jashin?"
"So what does Lord Jashin look like? Is it a Cthulhu-like god with tentacles, or a god covered in eyes? Senior Hidan, have you ever seen one?"
"How dare you defile Lord Jashin, die!"
"Actually, you've never seen one, right? Hmm? Right? Right?"
"You heretic, I'm going to kill you!"
"Ahhhhhh!"
The Scythe missed when Hidan threw it, and the two started fighting again.
However, Hidan was too severely injured and quickly lost his strength. Tobi pinned him down, choked him, and shook him back and forth, accidentally splattering blood all over himself.
Oh, and possibly some intestines and other things...
"So this is the entire process of how you got yourselves into such a sorry state?"
Upon returning, Shinji looked at the two of them speechlessly, his temples throbbing.
Hidan disdainfully turned his head away, continuing to lie like a corpse.
Tobi, on the other hand, obediently squatted in the corner, awaiting criticism.
"Forget it. What about the person you were supposed to capture?"
"Senior Hidan said to kill him, so I killed him." Tobi raised his hand and unhesitatingly sold out Hidan, making Hidan glare in anger.
"What about the body?"
"Huh? You wanted the body too? I... I threw it away."
Shinji was speechless and felt completely defeated by the two of them.
However, Shinji speculated that Kabuto might still be alive, and Tobi had simply hidden him.
If that were the case, there was nothing he could do.
"You're both punished with two days without food! Reflect on yourselves properly!"
Feeling utterly exhausted, Shinji returned to his room to rest. Just thinking about the possibility of having another ultimate chuunibyou in his team in the future made him suddenly want to destroy the entire world.
After Shinji left, Tobi slowly shuffled over to Hidan. Kneeling in a very well-behaved manner, he asked cautiously, "Um~ Senior Hidan, can we discuss something?"
"Speak!"
"Do you still want that thing sticking out of you? If not, how about we stir-fry it for dinner?"
Hidan looked in the direction Tobi was pointing. Oh, so he was talking about my kidney...
"I'll boil you in a pot first!"
Hidan lunged like a hungry tiger, wanting to kill Tobi first, but Tobi slipped away like a wisp of smoke, even having time to hide behind the door, eyeing his kidney...
Hidan's heart tightened, and he quickly tucked his kidney back in.
He would rather go hungry for two days than give up his kidney, absolutely not!
....
Because the Kazekage's ambition was exposed, this joint Chūnin Exam was ultimately forced to be suspended.
The Rain Hidden, Water Hidden, and Sound Hidden teams who came to participate in the Chūnin Exam were all wiped out, not even their leaders survived.
Among the Grass Hidden participants, only one candidate survived, named Karin.
It was said that after being eliminated, she didn't go to watch the subsequent matches that day and thus escaped the disaster.
In reality, she went to the address Shinji had given her, deciding to join the Mist Hidden Village and go to the Land of Water, never to return to the Land of Grass, a place that had given her endless pain.
Shinji had enough influence to make this happen, and Mei Terumī agreed without a word.
Now, the entire Land of Water was in a state of reconstruction, and attracting talent was extremely difficult. It was naturally good to have someone willing to join voluntarily.
Especially since she was recommended by Shinji. Ordinary people couldn't catch his eye, so this young girl must have something extraordinary about her.
She would need to be well-trained in the future.
As for the Sand Hidden people, they were basically finished.
The Fourth Kazekage died in battle, Baki died in battle, the Jinchūriki was captured, and the examinees who escaped, such as Kankuro and Temari, were all captured afterward. Not a single one escaped.
The remaining Sand Hidden ninja were also all killed.
The loss of this entire force in Konoha was enough to cripple the Sand Hidden Village!
Afterward, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, immediately issued a condemnation and inquiry to the Sand Hidden Village, and simultaneously began mobilizing personnel to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. War was imminent!
If the Sand Hidden Village did not give Konoha a satisfactory explanation for this incident, then war was only a matter of time.
Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi wished for peace, with enemies attacking his home, he could no longer compromise.
Moreover, the current situation was that Konoha held the absolute advantage, both in terms of reason and strength.
Although Konoha had also suffered continuous losses of many personnel, it had not reached the point of being crippled.
On the other hand, the few people brought by Mist Hidden had all survived in the end.
