Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 259 The Fourth Six Paths Puppet, Hell Path Hidan!

root base.

The Root organization has discovered traces of the Akatsuki's activities in the Land of Lightning. Akihara Kagura wants to go to the Land of Lightning to investigate the Akatsuki's whereabouts. All she needs to do is inform the Hokage-in-Chief.

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, had no reason to stop it.

Akihara Kagura has always been able to anticipate her enemy's moves.

The Akatsuki members had barely shown themselves when Root discovered information about them. The problem was that the information wasn't being transmitted quickly enough, which caused them to be a step behind.

When Akihara Kagura arrived in the Land of Lightning, Akatsuki members Kakuzu and Hidan were about to leave. They had already extracted the tailed beast chakra from Yukito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, and killed a ninja with a bounty on his head along the way. Kakuzu took the corpse to the exchange shop to exchange it for some money.

Money exchange.

The ninja world's exchange shops have been using money to collect the corpses of some famous ninjas, and then selling these corpses to the buyers at a higher price.

Because the exchange offices were always filled with corpses, they were usually hidden in toilets or garbage dumps to avoid being discovered by the stench of the corpses.

These locations are all quite secluded.

In a sense, the gold exchange is also a kind of assassination organization.

Currently, the bounty on the gold exchange has been steadily rising, reaching 700 million taels, and has long held the top spot on the bounty list.

Many years later, this top spot has remained unchanged. Even so, many people in the ninja world still believe that the price is too low for the value of his corpse.

"Hmph, that bastard's bounty has gone up again..."

Kakuzu came here mainly to kill for money, and incidentally to pick up the latest bounty notice issued by the gold exchange. The first thing he saw was Akihara Kagura at the top of the list, and he couldn't forget the time he lost to Akihara Kagura in the past: "Seven hundred million ryo, that's really tempting..."

to be frank.

Jiaodu really does have some thoughts he shouldn't have.

Kakuzu didn't really expect to have the chance to kill Akihara Kagura, but Akihara Kagura's name was too conspicuous on the exchange shop's register.

"Because no one in the ninja world believes they can kill him."

After examining the body Kakuzu brought in, the exchange staff counted out the money they were giving him and explained, "If Mr. Kakuzu could bring back Akihara Kagura's body, this price might be ten times higher..."

"..."

Kakuzu frowned.

Even after several years, Kakuzu still didn't believe he was capable of defeating Akihara Kagura; that guy's Wood Release ninjutsu was simply too terrifying.

"Then kill him!"

Hidan, standing to the side, waved a whiff of the stench near his nose and said with a disgruntled expression, "I heard that guy is called the new generation's God of Shinobi, but the only true god is the one I believe in..."

"idiot!"

Kakuzu glanced at Hidan and couldn't help but curse, saying coldly, "That bastard is more terrifying than any enemy you've ever faced; he could kill you with a flick of his wrist..."

Kakuzu would never forget that when they fought a few years ago, his Earth Grudge Fear was crushed to death one by one by Akihara Kagura's Wood Golem Technique with his fingers. If they had encountered Akihara Kagura, the Wood Golem Technique could have slapped Hidan to the ground with one slap, and he wouldn't have been able to get up!

"This is your money."

The staff at the gold exchange counted the bounty and handed it over to Kakuzu.

Kakuzu reached out and took the money, but instead of putting it in the box, he started counting it again, as if afraid that the amount was wrong.

"I'm telling you, you rascal..."

Hidan glared at Kakuzu, his face full of displeasure, and said, "Why are you always so concerned about money? It's the most useless thing, it will only pollute your soul!"

"Only money is trustworthy."

Kakuzu responded coldly, finished counting the money on his own, and then left with Hidan, pushing open a hidden door to escape.

This gold exchange was hidden in a stinking garbage dump.

"It's annoying."

Hidan muttered angrily, waving his hand to dispel the stench that kept coming from his nostrils, and strode away with his scythe on his shoulder, trying to leave immediately.

"idiot…"

Kakuzu also seemed somewhat displeased with Hidan.

Kakuzu was unable to kill Hidan, and Hidan was unable to kill Kakuzu. The two were known within the Akatsuki organization as the Immortal Duo because they claimed to be invincible.

That's why...

Kakuzu's teammates were finally settled.

In the past, Kakuzu enjoyed killing his teammates and selling their corpses for money. Now, his teammate Hidan is the only one who can avoid death.

but…

The relationship between the two was not very harmonious.

Hidan, that bastard, only has his god on his mind. He always clashes with his money-loving mentality by relying on his immortality. While Kakuzu is working hard to earn money, this bastard spends the money he earns while muttering nonsense about how money is useless...

This idiot…

Kakuzu is an old man and he's too lazy to bother with Hidan, that idiot.

"Next stop: the Land of Fire."

As Kakuzu pondered the orders Pain had Zetsu relay, he flipped through the bounty book in his hand: "Let me see if I can collect some bounties along the way..."

"You really do love money..."

Hidan snorted and picked at his ear: "Kakuzu, are you really not going to consider hunting down that blasphemer named Akihara Kagura with me?"

"Once a person dies, they can no longer earn money."

Just as Kakuzu was flipping through the manual in his hand and traveling with Hidan, a clapping sound suddenly appeared in their ears.

"Well said!"

A voice floated down from the sky, gently clapping its hands at them: "An elder in the family is a treasure; Mr. Kakuzu's life experience is truly rich..."

"Who are you?"

Hidan looked at the young man falling from the sky with an arrogant expression.

"..."

Kakuzu saw the newcomer and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. His first thought was that the 700 million ryo or even 7 billion ryo bounty on Kinsho had arrived. His second thought was whether he should abandon Hidan and run away!

"Hey, Kakuzu, what's wrong with you?"

Hidan frowned, glancing with surprise at Kakuzu, who was always lawless for money: "Do you two know each other? Your old friend?"

"certainly."

The newcomer nodded earnestly and looked at Kakuzu with great sincerity: "Mr. Kakuzu and I are old friends. I have always admired Mr. Kakuzu's theory of prioritizing money. Mr. Kakuzu is my favorite person in the entire Akatsuki organization..."

Many people in the ninja world believe that money is useless.

That's because these people have never been bound by money.

If we were to ask the pharmacist Nono from the past, she would have risked her life to become a spy for a little money, because a little more money could give an orphan a full meal.

"Akihara Kagura..."

Kakuzu revealed the newcomer's identity in a deep voice and immediately notified Hidan to evacuate: "Don't let him touch your body, find a chance to escape immediately!"

"Is he Kagura Akihara?"

Hidan stared at Akihara Kagura with a manic excitement on his face: "Why run away? The money you wanted is here, and the person I wanted to kill is here too!"

Before the words were finished…

Hidan wielded his scythe and charged towards Akihara Kagura!

"That idiot is definitely unreliable..."

Kakuzu gripped the box full of money tightly in his hand and quickly tried to retreat. He didn't want to go to his death with Hidan!

Even though Kaku knew about Hidan's abilities, he didn't believe that Hidan, that brain-dead idiot, could win in a situation where the difference in strength was so great!

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

Akihara Kagura conjured a tall wooden doll, which slapped Hidan, who was charging at her, into the ground, making it impossible to pry him out!

"!!!"

Kakuzu leaped away and retreated immediately!

Kakuzu was used to selling out his teammates, so selling Hidan at this time wouldn't make him feel guilty at all!

"Isn't it a bit much to just abandon your comrades like this?"

Akihara Kagura's figure transformed into a golden light and appeared in front of Kakuzu. She raised her hand and punched Kakuzu in the chin, sending him flying backward!

"This guy..."

Kakuzu's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets!

"Don't rush."

Akihara Kagura raised her hand, and a vine sprouted from the ground, binding Kakuzu's body and draining his chakra: "I just happened to be passing by, I didn't expect to run into Mr. Kakuzu by such a coincidence..."

"Akihara Kagura, what do you want to do...?"

Kakuzu could only watch helplessly as he was tied to the tree, feeling his chakra being continuously drained by Akihara Kagura.

"You bastard!"

Hidan struggled to pry his body off the ground, then leaped up, swinging his scythe at Akihara Kagura!

"It's noisy."

Akihara Kagura raised her palm.

A black rod appeared in his hand, and it suddenly flew out of his palm, nailing Hidan to the chest and pinning him to the ground once again!

however…

This kind of fatal injury is nothing to Hidan!

Hidan, while reaching to pull the black rod from his chest, cursed at Akihara Kagura, "It hurts so much! I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!

Four black sticks were flung out of Akihara Kagura's hands again!

This time, four black rods were driven directly into Hidan's limbs, rendering him unable to move. He could only lie on the ground cursing and swearing without stopping!

"Let me go!"

"God will protect me; I will not die!"

"You bastard, do you think you can kill me?!"

"..."

Kakuzu frowned, pondering the current situation.

Even if Hidan doesn't die, he's unlikely to pose a threat to Akihara Kagura, or even cause her any trouble.

Perhaps the only thing Hidan can do is corrupt Akihara Kagura's ears, unless he can obtain Akihara Kagura's blood and use his strange ability on her, but even the two of them might not be able to hurt her...

"You're thinking about how to get him my blood, aren't you?"

Akihara Kagura looked at Kakuzu, seemingly having guessed what he was thinking.

"How could this be..."

Kakuzu stared at Akihara Kagura in disbelief. This guy actually knew what he was thinking. This guy knew that idiot Hidan's secret!

but…

This seems normal.

"My men already found out who that noisy guy is..."

Akihara Kagura glanced at Hidan, who was pinned to the ground in the distance, and slowly said, "Speaking of which, my main purpose in coming here was also for him..."

On her way to the Land of Lightning, Akihara Kagura deliberately searched for the immortal duo, her purpose being to find Hidan's whereabouts.

on the one hand…

Hidan's immortality is quite useful.

Kagura Akihara has been collecting suitable candidates for the Six Paths Puppet of the Rinnegan, and the most important of the Six Paths Puppet is the Hell Path Puppet.

As long as the Hell Path Puppet is alive, no matter how damaged the other puppets are in battle, they can still rely on the Hell Path Puppet's resurrection ability to restore the bodies of the other puppets.

Obvious.

Hidan would be an extremely suitable candidate.

Hidan came from a small cult that worshipped an unknown evil god in the ninja world. They used Hidan to perform a sacrificial ritual.

From then on…

Hidan has gained immortality.

No matter what method is used, Hidan cannot be killed.

In addition, Hidan also gained the ability to curse others. As long as he obtains a drop of an enemy's blood, he can remotely curse and kill the enemy. In fact, when an enemy attacks Hidan, it is equivalent to attacking himself.

No one can kill him, yet he can kill anyone.

Perhaps this is why Hidan's mind is not sharp enough. When he encounters an enemy, he rushes in recklessly, unable to distinguish between friend and foe. As long as he can obtain the enemy's blood, he can instantly achieve victory.

This method is extremely insidious.

Many ninjas stronger than Hidan are still susceptible to being tricked.

"Let's get down to business first..."

Akihara Kagura instantly appeared beside Hidan, using the Soul Imprisonment Technique to prevent Hidan's soul from leaving his body.

Kagura Akihara already possessed a skillful method for creating Six Paths Puppets using living people. Her Soul Imprisonment Technique bound the soul from the body, and then the human body was made into a puppet. Even if the person died during the puppet-making process, their soul would be sealed within the puppet.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"What are you going to do to me?!"

"Let me go! It hurts, you bastard!"

Hidan was still cursing, but his body was unable to resist, and he could only watch helplessly as black rods were inserted into his body.

"My body..."

Hidan's pupils dilated suddenly, feeling his body slowly slipping out of his control: "You... what are you trying to do with my body...?"

"I'm helping you gain even greater abilities..."

After Kagura Akihara filled Hidan's body with black rods, she raised her hand and left a cursed seal on Hidan's body.

"From today onwards, you are Hidan of the Hell Path."

Akihara Kagura raised a finger, manipulating Hidan's body to stand up, trying to get Hidan moving: "Before you can truly use this name, let's test whether your abilities from your past life are still there, shall we?"

"What...what...what happened?"

Hidan involuntarily raised his scythe and walked step by step towards Kakuzu: "Wait, what are you trying to control me to do...?"

"Is there anyone more suitable for the experiment than the immortal Kakuzu?"

Kagura Akihara looked at Kakuzu, who was tied to a tree, and explained softly, "Your ability is meant to kill, and I don't want to indiscriminately kill innocent people..."

First update

Currently, the Path of Asura is Sasori, the Path of Animals is Hanzo (replacing Hozuki Mangetsu), the Path of Deva is Shisui, and the Path of Hell is Hidan.
