The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

"Lord Osamu Uehara."

"Come with me to see Elder Yuan Shi."

"Yes, Lord Uehara."

The two boarded a small boat and arrived at the island where Master Yuan was located.

A guard ninja stepped forward and, upon seeing that it was Uehara Shu, immediately greeted him. Another guard ninja quickly went to the location of the master to report.

When Yuan Xiu arrived at the courtyard gate, Master Yuan had already come out from inside.

"Elder Yuanshi."

"Xiu, come in and talk."

Master Yuan led Uehara Shu into the study.

"Xiu, you came here because of what happened last time, right?"

"Elder Yuan, what's the situation?"

Master Yuan shook his head.

"Kakuzu's side refused very decisively."

This was within Uehara Osamu's expectations.

Given Kakuzu's experiences, it's indeed difficult for him to trust a ninja village again.

Uehara Osamu suggested Kakuzu as an option simply because he wanted to give it a try.

"What about the evil god cult in the Land of Hot Water?"

"We did make some progress over there."

Master Yuan said, "Believers who gain the approval of an evil god can obtain the power of immortality, but gaining the approval of an evil god is very difficult."

"It requires not only faith in the evil god, but also one's own talent, and one must also meet the requirements of the evil god."

"After that, a very dangerous sacrificial ceremony will be performed."

“After the ritual, the soul is essentially offered up to the evil god.”

"Therefore, it is very difficult to obtain the immortality of the Church of the Evil God."

"And even if we obtain it, the person who obtains it may not be able to continue to serve our Hidden Mist Village."

Uehara Shu frowned.

All Uehara Osamu knew was that a character named Hidan had appeared in the Church of the Evil God.

In the original storyline, Hidan had a certain role to play within the Akatsuki organization.

Hidan played a significant role in the deaths of Jiraiya and Asuma.

But the defeat was rather hasty.

He fell into Shikamaru's trap, his body was blown to pieces, leaving only his head.

They were buried alive underground.

Uehara Osamu had not expected that the conditions for obtaining the immortality of the Church of Evil God would be so harsh.

In that case, it becomes somewhat unrealistic to expect a ninja from Kirigakure to achieve immortality.

"Elder Yuan, is there anyone in that church who has already attained immortality?"

"Have."

Master Yuan nodded.

“A follower named Hidan, but this person is only loyal to the evil god and would never fight for our Hidden Mist Village.”

"Shu, is this the Zanpakuto you mentioned last time?"

Master Yuan looked at Uehara Shu's waist and asked.

"Yes."

Uehara Shu took off the Mortal Blade and placed it in front of Genji, saying...

"This sword is called 'Wai Lei' (拜泪), and it has the effect of countering the Impure World Reincarnation technique. However, only those with the power of immortality can use it and bring out its full effect."

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Master Yuan was overjoyed.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique is the ninjutsu that Master Yuan currently despises the most.

none of them.

If it weren't for the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Konoha would have collapsed and disappeared long ago.

The current ninja world is divided into three parts: Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village), Iwagakure (Hidden Rock Village), and Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village).

However, the second half of the sentence made Master Yuan's heart sink.

"Only someone like that can wield this Zanpakuto?"

"Yes."

Master Yuan frowned deeply.

After a long silence, Master Yuan raised his head and said, "Then there's only one way now: select several hundred people from the village to perform a ritual to appease the evil god."

"Let's see if any of them can achieve immortality."

However, even with this approach, the chances of success are not very high.

Uehara Osamu suddenly thought of something.

Since the Akatsuki could use Hidan as a pawn in the original storyline, the Hidden Mist Village could also use Hidan as a pawn.

After all, Hidan's brain isn't very sharp.

Hidan is loyal to the evil god, that's for sure.

There is no connection between the Akatsuki organization and the Jashin.

So, the reason Hidan was willing to join Akatsuki must be that Akatsuki deceived him in some way.

"Elder Yuan, is that Hidan smart?"

Master Yuan chuckled.

"Where can a wise person go who can worship an evil god?"

"Uehara Osamu said."

"Elder Master Yuan, could we do this: create a branch of the Evil God Church within Kirigakure, then destroy the Evil God Church in the Land of Hot Water, bring Hidan to Kirigakure, and make him pledge allegiance in the name of the branch?"

"In this way, they deceived Hidan and made him work for Kirigakure."

Master Yuan began to ponder.

"Defeat the Church of the Evil God, leaving Hidan with nowhere to stand. In Kirigakure, fabricate a branch of the Church of the Evil God, making Hidan believe that Kirigakure is controlled by the Church of the Evil God."

"In this way, we will make Hidan fight for Kirigakure."

"It seems like we could give it a try."

"Compared to getting the people of Kirigakure to gain immortality, deceiving someone who already has immortality might have a higher success rate."

"Moreover, our Hidden Mist Village happened to have implemented a policy known as the Village of Blood Mist."

"The theme of that evil god's church is also blood."

"Given Hidan's stupidity, there's a high probability he'll believe it."

As Master Yuan spoke and analyzed, his eyes gradually brightened.

"Just do it this way!"

"Xiu, I'll arrange it right away."

Yuan Shi waved his hand, and a ninja walked in from outside.

The master issued orders to the ninjas at an extremely fast pace.

One figure after another stepped out.

A group of ninjas went to the Land of Hot Springs to attack the Church of the Evil God.

Some ninjas set up a fake branch of the Evil God Church within Kirigakure.

Hidden in some secluded corner.

The layout of the buildings was modeled after the cult of evil gods.

There don't have to be many people, but the atmosphere must be created.

In addition, it shouldn't be too perfect; it should be somewhat dilapidated.

A fake church can never be exactly the same as a real church.

Therefore, Master Yuan's idea was to arrange something and tell Hidan that this branch had lost many things, which was why it was in its current state, and he hoped that Hidan could help improve it.

Given Hidan's loyalty to the evil god, there's a high probability he'll be fooled.

"Enemy attack!"

The believers are performing a ritual.

suddenly.

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

A series of whooshing sounds rang out.

Immediately following was a series of explosions.

The master uses either conventional ninja tools or the signature ninjutsu of other ninja villages.

For example, Fire Release, Lightning Release, Wind Release, etc.

In this situation, detonating tags are a very suitable method.
