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

The massive explosion immediately killed or injured most of the believers inside.

Hidan charged out, enraged.

The battle is about to break out.

However, apart from Hidan, the followers of the evil god were not very strong and were quickly defeated by the ninjas arranged by Genji.

Hidan was forced to break through the encirclement with a small number of followers and escape.

The Hidden Mist ninjas deliberately drove Hidan towards the Land of Water.

In the midst of the relentless chase, before long, only Hidan remained.

The rest of the evil god's followers were killed during the pursuit.

At this point, the believer whom Master Yuan had arranged to infiltrate the evil god's church in advance can come into play.

He reveals to Hidan that there is a branch of the Jashin Church in Kirigakure.

The Hidden Mist ninja then pursued and "killed" the believer.

Hidan will most likely go to Kirigakure to verify this.

After all, the evil god church in the Land of Hot Water has already been destroyed.

Hidan longs for a new place to focus his attention.

Long after Hidan left, the "killed" follower got up from the ground, removed his disguise, and resumed his identity as a Hidden Mist ninja, never to meet Hidan again.

When Hidan approached Kirigakure, Master Genji chose to personally take action.

"Is this the branch of the Church of Evil Gods?"

Hidan surveyed the branch meeting venue set up by Master Yuan.

Master Yuan nodded.

“That’s right. Our branch arrived in Kirigakure a long time ago. Because the Church is easily targeted, we adopted a strategy of hiding our identities and developing slowly.”

"Now, I have reached the position of elder in Kirigakure."

"The Blood Mist Village policy was secretly promoted by our branch."

"Under the influence of this policy, the mentality of the ninjas in Kirigakure will gradually be affected."

"It will be easier for us to spread the faith to them."

"However, no one in our branch has ever been able to gain the approval of the Evil God."

"Therefore, there are certain obstacles to its dissemination."

"But it's good that you're here now, Hidan."

"You have gained the approval of the evil god."

"I rose to a high position in Kirigakure."

"If we work together, we can surely make Kirigakure a place of worship for the evil god."

Hidan's eyes lit up.

A cunning and experienced intelligence strategist ninja.

A naive and simple-minded young man.

Moreover, Master Yuan has a large number of people helping him.

Therefore, it was a dimensional reduction attack on Hidan.

Hidan believed it.

Chapter 284 Hidan killed Senju for the sake of the Jashin-sama.

If Hidan were a "smart person" like Kabuto Yakushi, he would most likely outwardly believe him but inwardly have other thoughts, and engage in feigned compliance with Genji.

However, in the original storyline, Hidan was easily tricked by Obito Uchiha into joining the Akatsuki organization and fighting for it, while his beloved Jashin-sama was long forgotten.

What Obito Uchiha could provide to Hidan, Kirigakure could also provide.

A branch of the Church of Evil Gods that infiltrated the heart of Kirigakure.

A fellow believer who has already attained the position of elder.

The doctrines of the Evil God Church have been slowly spreading in Kirigakure through the Blood Mist Village policy.

Hidan became excited.

"Senior Master Yuan, what should we do next?"

Because he felt that Master Genji's contributions were too great, Hidan couldn't help but use an honorific title when addressing him.

"I want the believers to witness your abilities, Holy Son, so that they can have a concept of the power of the Evil God, and thus strengthen their faith in the Evil God."

"The Holy Son? Me?"

"Indeed, among countless believers, only you have gained the approval of the Evil God. What else could you be but a Holy Son? You are the one favored by the Evil God, the hope of our church."

Hidan smiled; the title of "Holy Son" pleased him.

Hidan felt very comfortable with Master Yuan's attitude.

"In that case, Senior Master Yuan, please make the arrangements."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will make all the arrangements."

Soon, Master Yuan's arrangements were in place.

This was something that had been prepared in advance; it was just a pretense of preparation in front of Hidan.

One by one, figures entered the church.

In the darkness, a faint, blazing light flickered.

Hidan looked at the group of people who had entered and nodded in satisfaction.

It must be said that Master Yuan's preparations were very thorough, and the atmosphere was very strong, giving Hidan the exact same feeling as before at the Jashin Church in the Land of Hot Springs.

There isn't much difference.

"I've met the Holy Son!"

The believers stepped forward one after another and bowed to Hidan.

This made Hidan very happy.

“Holy Son, demonstrate your abilities to these believers.”

"no problem."

Hidan took a step forward.

Then, he took out a sharp blade and stabbed it directly into his own chest.

"Pfft!"

It was pulled out, and blood spurted out.

However, Hidan was unaffected and remained standing steadily.

The believers looked surprised.

This was not arranged by Master Yuan; it was genuine surprise.

A gash was pierced in the heart, blood gushing out, yet the person was completely unharmed. This was entirely beyond their comprehension and was a completely different concept from the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

That's no longer considered human.

Hidan is a real person made of flesh and blood.

"Medical Ninja!"

Master Yuan gestured to the side.

A medical ninja quickly stepped forward and used Medical Ninja on Hidan.

Hidan is immortal, but his wounds still require medical ninjutsu to heal.

In the original storyline, Hidan and Kakuzu teamed up.

Severed hands and feet are a frequent occurrence.

This will not affect Hidan's life.

However, to reconnect the severed limbs, Kakuzu's ability is needed. He must use the Earth Grudge Technique to reconnect Hidan's severed limbs so that he can be restored to his original state.

"The Holy Son is mighty!"

"Long live the Evil God!"

Master Yuan gestured for the crowd below to leave.

Then, looking at Hidan, his expression turned serious.

“Holy Son, we are now facing a very big problem.”

"what is the problem?"

Master Yuan said.

"The Hidden Mist Village can already be considered the base of our Evil God Church. I have already reached the position of elder, and many of the village's high-ranking members are my people."

"If nothing unexpected happens, turning Kirigakure into a place of worship for the evil god is only a matter of time."

"But now, Konoha, in alliance with Sunagakure, has launched an attack on Kirigakure."

"The Hidden Mist Village has fallen into a disadvantageous position, and its situation is extremely precarious."

"Once Kirigakure collapses, all my previous efforts will have been in vain."

"Everything must start anew."

"Moreover, it will be more difficult than before."

"After Konoha defeats Kirigakure, they will likely discover some traces of our church. Given Konoha's style, they will certainly launch a fierce attack against us."

"Therefore, we need to help Kirigakure win this war."
