A large amount of blood and flesh essence was extracted, purified, and then flowed into his body, transforming into a mysterious substance that circulated within him.

However, Uchiha Sora could sense that he was still far from being as immortal as Hidan.

The technique stopped absorbing the energy, and Hidan's body became a dried-up corpse. Uchiha Sora carefully sensed that his internal organs were still slowly wriggling.

If it weren't for his keen senses, he might not have noticed and would be no different from a dead person, but Hidan is still alive.

Uchiha Sora quickly sealed Hidan's body, planning to study it properly when they got back.

By absorbing Hidan, Uchiha Sora felt that he had discovered something extraordinary.

Information about evil gods is scarce in the Naruto world, and the only evil god cult is composed of a bunch of lunatics, whose records are mostly nonsensical ramblings.

Uchiha Sora had some of his own guesses. Either the evil god was some kind of mysterious rule, and Hidan accidentally triggered the rule, gaining immortality through each sacrifice.

Or perhaps it's some indescribable creature from the universe, like Hidan who stumbled upon a dead mouse by sheer luck and became a follower of an evil god, obtaining immortality through sacrifice.

Rules or indescribable beings, either way, were far too distant from Uchiha Sora.

Now that Hidan is his prisoner, he can slowly experiment on Hidan in the future.

He then took out several detonating smoke bombs and threw them around, followed by a series of fire-style attacks that destroyed the surrounding terrain.

Then he headed towards the battlefield where Kakuzu and Kakashi were fighting.

All the spells and curses on his body were removed, and he returned to his normal appearance, except that his clothes were tattered.

The system space locked onto Kakuzu and Kakashi. Kakashi was in a somewhat disheveled state, while Kakuzu's three black hearts were all surrounding his main body.

Four different escape techniques were unleashed in quick succession: gale, flame, hurricane, and lightning.

It seems that Kakashi has already killed one of their hearts, but without any distraction, Kakashi's tactics are largely ineffective in a direct confrontation.

Kakuzu fully utilized his mobile turret advantage to suppress Kakashi.

Uchiha Sora continued to move through the forest, throwing out smoke bombs one after another.

Thick smoke instantly enveloped the battlefield between the two.

There's a tree in the yard that reminds you: Please save this post after reading ().

Kakuzu's expression was rather grim: "Hidan is truly useless; he can't even beat Uchiha Sora."

A strong wind swept through, and the smoke in the forest quickly dissipated, followed by the explosion of several smoke grenades.

The thin fog thickened again.

Uchiha Sora appeared beside Kakashi: "Kakashi-sensei, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just that my chakra was used up quite a bit. The Akatsuki organization is indeed not simple; even a random member is no ordinary character."

Hidan was lured away by you; it seems you know his situation quite well, resolving the situation so quickly.

Sora nodded and said, "Hidan's strength is not great, but his immortality makes him difficult to defend against."

"When faced with a genius of my high intelligence, death is his best fate. But this guy wasn't dead even after his head was chopped off, so I buried him underground, leaving him to repent in darkness forever."

[Uchiha Sora is showing off again. Any ninja with a normal IQ could easily outsmart Hidan.]

[Uchiha Sora defeated a lunatic and was actually smug about it, considering himself a genius; his skin is getting thicker and thicker.]

Kong smiled and said, "Narrator, I'll just assume you're jealous. From now on, no matter how many bad things you say about me, I'll take it all as your jealousy."

You envy my extraordinary talent, and you envy that you are nothing more than a thoughtless monologue.

【vomit......】

"Uchiha Sora, what did you do to that idiot?" Kakuzu's voice echoed through the forest.

"Kakuzu, Hidan has been dismembered and buried underground by me. If you continue to pester him, his current situation will be your fate."

For the sake of your lifelong reputation, you should retreat as soon as possible. An old fogey like you should have been eliminated by the times long ago.

"At eighty or ninety years old, he's still setting up a stage and fighting with young ninjas. He's really senile, old man."

"Uchiha Sora, you're asking for death."

Kakuzu, who was over eighty years old, had never been so angry in nearly twenty years. He wished he could grind Uchiha Ku to dust.

"Wind Release: Suppression."

"Fire Release: Head Carving".

The combined ninjutsu of wind and fire attributes swept through the forest once again, and the gale uprooted rows of trees.

The flames swept through, and in the blink of an eye, the trees were burned to bare charcoal, and the earth was scorched black by the flames.

Kakashi made a hand gesture and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Uchiha Sora understood the meaning of Kakashi's hand gesture; he was responsible for restraining Kakashi while Kakashi launched a sneak attack.

A master of Earth Release and Lightning Release chakra, he is a rare assassin in the Naruto world.

Uchiha Sora launched several smoke bombs into the air, and the shockwaves from the explosions neutralized most of the gale-force winds generated by his Wind Release techniques.

Uchiha Sora fled quickly, shouting, "Kakuzu, I heard that Takigakure made you assassinate the First Hokage back then."

After the mission failed, you were so resentful that you ripped out the hearts of all the high-ranking officials of Takigakure.

Kakuzu was taken aback, never expecting that something that had been buried for decades would be revealed by a mere kid from Konoha.

“That’s right. Since they’ve used Lord Kakuzu, I’ll naturally kill them all. Anyone who dares to send me to my death deserves to die.”

Kakuzu felt he had done the right thing. Hashirama Senju single-handedly suppressed the nine tailed beasts; sending him to assassinate someone like that would be suicide.

"Kakuzu, you're just wasting your time in Akatsuki. Akatsuki's vague and unrealistic goals are utter nonsense."

It's not worth fighting for them. You might as well leave Akatsuki and join Konoha. You won't need to earn funds.

All the money you earn from completing missions belongs to you, which is much more comfortable than being in the Akatsuki organization.

The Akatsuki organization is always on dangerous missions; you never know when you might lose your life.

"Don't you want to celebrate your 100th birthday and become famous throughout the ninja world? That would be much better than being a rat in the gutter of the Akatsuki."

Kakuzu has been navigating the ninja world for decades; how could he be swayed by a few words from Uchiha Sora? It didn't even cause Kakuzu any psychological fluctuation.

[Back then, Pain invited Kakuzu to join Akatsuki based on his immense strength and the allure of the Rinnegan. It seems that Uchiha Sora's path as a spiritual mentor can only work on the dead, and has no effect on living ninjas.]

"Hmph, Uchiha Sora, I am a contemporary of the First Hokage and have witnessed countless darkness in the ninja world. You think you can make me surrender with just a few words? You're dreaming."

Kakuzu, his face full of disdain, retorted loudly.

Uchiha Sora laughed loudly, "Kakuzu, let a ninja of this new era send you remnants of the old era to hell, and go to the Pure Land to repent."

Sora instantly rushed towards Kakuzu, his expression solemn, and threw out four kunai in succession with both hands.

Kakuzu sneered inwardly and was about to act when Kakashi suddenly stood up from behind his main body, his lightning-covered palm piercing through Kakuzu's Earth Release body in the chest in an instant.

Using the tree branch for leverage, Uchiha Sora retreated instantly, saying, "As expected of a rigid old man, you can't even see through such a simple scheme. Today is your death day."

Kakuzu was enraged, but showed no sign of panic. Having lived for over eighty years, Kakuzu had long since become indifferent to life and death.

From a village elite to a rogue ninja, and eventually to a bounty hunter dedicated to money, Kakuzu felt his life had been worthwhile.

Kakuzu felt that if he died, no one needed to grieve for him; he had no attachments or regrets in this world.

A dark shadow flashed rapidly, and a monster wearing a lightning mask burrowed into Kakuzu's body.

The original body came back to life, and the two bodies, one wind and one fire, moved closer to it at the same time.

The Earth Grudge Yu emerged from various joints of the body, merging the two bodies together to form a true monster.

Lightning surged forth, instantly obliterating one of Kakashi's clones.

Kakashi's true form reappeared beside Uchiha Sora.

"This guy is a real pain; I'll have to kill him three more times."

Kakashi realized the problem. Kakuzu had previously lost two hearts due to carelessness, but now he was a trinity, and with his rich combat experience, victory would be difficult.

Sora nodded. Kakuzu was indeed a troublesome guy. In the original work, he died at Naruto's hands, becoming a stepping stone for the protagonist's growth.

Naruto is still a twelve-year-old kid who can only make a Rasengan. If he runs into Kakuzu, he'll only get beaten up.

The Earthly Grudge spread rapidly through its body and mouth, instantly forming enormous tentacles on the spot, resembling a monster.

"Uchiha Sora, Kakashi, you've pushed me to this point. Today is the day you two die."

Kakuzu leaped into the air, and the mask representing Wind Release on either side of his body continuously created a gust of wind, blowing away all the smoke created by the smoke bomb.

The earth-wraith tentacles that extended from its mouth aimed at the two people running below and suddenly stretched out.

"Boom!"

The Earthly Grief, as soft as hair, instantly hardened like steel, smashing countless trees into pieces the moment it was released.

Kong casually tossed down a smoke bomb, leaped up quickly, and barely dodged Di Yuan Yu's attack, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Sora absorbed Hidan; it remains to be seen what changes these rare and mysterious substances will bring to him.

"Yo, Kakuzu, training, huh? Is this some kind of rehearsal before capturing the Nine-Tails?" Deidara said with a mocking tone.

A giant clay bird circled in the sky, while Deidara and Sasori looked down at Kakuzu, who was rampaging through the earth using Earth Grudge Fear, with some disdain.

Scorpion's hoarse voice rang out: "Hmph, impotent rage, all you can do is vent your anger on these big trees."

"Shut up, you two want to die. I don't mind sending you to the Pure Land. Anyway, this isn't the first time I've killed my own kind."

Kakuzu was somewhat embarrassed and angry. He had been mocked by two lunatics. He was a senior from the same era as the First Hokage. These days, ninjas no longer knew how to respect their seniors. His title of "comrade killer" wasn't given for nothing.
