After much effort, Shinji finally obtained a wooden box after waiting for a long time. Inside was exactly what he wanted.
[Special Grade Cursed Spirit - The Rat King's Eyeball]
Although this guy reportedly died a gruesome death, Hidan's dismemberment skills were not as proficient as his, so the pieces were not cut into small pieces, resulting in parts such as the eyes being preserved intact.
Then they were all taken away by the people of Kirigakure.
If it weren't for Mei Terumi, the Mizukage, speaking up, those researchers would never have handed this over.
Thanks.
Shinji immediately put the things away, a look of joy on his face.
It would be good enough to have any unexpected gains; he hadn't really had high hopes.
After all, the sickly ghost and the draconian were burned to a crisp, making it almost impossible for them to have any intact eyeballs left.
"By the way, we're leaving tomorrow, just letting you know in advance."
Mei Terumi, who was busy handling government affairs, suddenly paused for a moment before casually raising her head. "Are you really not considering staying? Although the Land of Water is in decline, it is also in a stage of rebuilding. Moreover, after this major crisis, it has actually relieved a lot of pressure on Kirigakure."
"If you are willing to stay, I can join forces with the Daimyo to help you vigorously develop the evil god cult."
"Although your suggestion is very good, let's forget about it."
Shinji shook his head without being moved. "From now on, Kirigakure will definitely focus on recuperation. After what happened last time, the chaos of the cursed spirits in the Land of Water has been contained. We are no longer needed here for the time being, or rather, there are other places that need us more."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Terumi Mei sighed inwardly and stopped trying to persuade him.
"In that case, please do me one last favor..."
[Chapter 186. Who's Worse? (Bonus Chapter 8/10 for the Salted Fish Alliance Leader Who's Determined to Turn Things Around)]
The port of the Land of Water.
Shinji never expected that Mei Terumi would cause him such a big problem before he left.
Do you remember when Konoha sent a few people to Kirigakure just to make a cameo appearance in order to protect its reputation, or rather, to avoid giving others cause for criticism?
It's one thing for these people to just coast along the whole time, but when the cursed spirits finally came knocking on their door, they didn't even show up. That's just too much.
Mei Terumi and the elders of Kirigakure were extremely dissatisfied and could no longer tolerate it.
Moreover, seemingly aware that they were not well-liked, or perhaps too ashamed to stay any longer, they took the initiative to resign from Terumi Mei's company.
Mei Terumi readily agreed, but she couldn't just swallow her pride.
In addition, she distrusted these people very much, suspecting that they would fabricate stories and turn the tables on the Hokage after returning home. So she planned to send a few people with them to Konoha to inform the Hokage about the important matter of the Cursed Spirits attacking Kirigakure, and also to spread rumors and vent her anger.
However, after searching high and low, they couldn't find a suitable candidate, so they simply sent Hozuki Mangetsu as their representative.
Hozuki Mangetsu is now considered the strongest person in Kirigakure besides the Mizukage, and the only one who can be considered truly formidable.
But here's the problem: Hozuki Mangetsu can't afford any more mishaps.
It wasn't that Mei Terumi wanted to suspect Konoha, but rather that Orochimaru's appearance in the Land of Water and his abduction of Hozuki Mangetsu's younger brother had happened not long ago.
Who can guarantee that Orochimaru won't take action against Hozuki Mangetsu after hearing the news?
Who can guarantee that Konoha won't find a reason to detain Hozuki Mangetsu?
Just as I was having a headache, Shinji bumped into me and said he was leaving.
When Mei Terumi's attempts to persuade him failed, she simply entrusted the matter to him.
Hozuki Mangetsu would be in great danger on his own, but if Akagi and his gang were added to the mix, even Konoha might not be able to save them.
Mei Terumi is relieved now.
But when Shinji arrived at the port today and saw who the Konoha personnel he was supposed to 'escort' were, he almost drew his sword on the spot!
"Lord Danzo, once the ship reaches the open sea, will you need our help...?"
As they boarded the ship, Yamanaka Kaze, who had orange-yellow hair parted to the side, quietly asked the person in front of her for their opinion.
"Don't cause any trouble. We have achieved our goal for this trip. All we need to do now is return to Konoha safely and report on the mission."
The elderly man with bandages wrapped around his head, who was walking in front, spoke slowly.
Yu Nu Qu Gen and Shan Zhong Feng immediately lowered their heads and obeyed the order.
"Let's go too."
Just as Hozuki Mangetsu was about to board the ship, Shinji grabbed him.
"These are the only people who came from Konoha?"
"Yeah, I heard that Konoha sent the Hokage's right-hand men, so I thought Konoha was taking this matter seriously. But as you know, these guys seem to just be here to look around. They don't contribute anything and just wander around the village. They didn't even show up during the last critical situation, so they must have disappeared somewhere."
Perhaps due to pent-up resentment, even a battle maniac like Hozuki Mangetsu was so dissatisfied, which shows how much the other members of Kirigakure must hate these people.
However, Shinji didn't find anything wrong with what he heard.
If it were the infamous Danzo, then all of this would make sense.
Putting aside the question of what the Hokage actually sent him for, Danzo was someone who could never genuinely help Kirigakure overcome their difficulties.
It would be good enough if they didn't kick someone when they're down!
Back when the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha, Danzo was adept at disappearing. Now, so many years later, his ability to slack off and not show his face has become even more refined.
So here's the question: knowing Danzo's personality, why did Hiruzen Sarutobi still send Danzo on this mission...?
Think about it carefully!
If there's no problem here, Shinji will fry Hidan's head in oil!
He finally understood why Mei Terumi insisted on having him accompany Hozuki Mangetsu on this trip.
If it were just Hozuki Mangetsu alone, it's hard to say what Danzo, with his lawless nature, would dare to do.
Without further ado, Shinji and the others boarded the ship and set off.
At the same time, Shinji made up his mind that it would be better if Danzo didn't provoke them. But if they became enemies, he would never let that cunning old man return to Konoha alive.
"Afei, do you think that old man with bandages wrapped around his head in Konoha is a good person or a bad person?"
While they were bored on the deck, Shinji suddenly called Fei over and asked him a question.
Because he suddenly remembered a very interesting question he had seen online in his previous life: In the entire Naruto series, who was worse, Obito or Danzo?
One of the most classic answers is: Danzo is worse because Danzo didn't bring Tsuchikage!
Shinji didn't know what others thought after seeing it, but he completely realized at that moment that this world judges people by their appearance.
Afei was a little confused, but he had actually seen Danzo before. "I know, it's a dead man!"
"what?"
"I'll have Hidan-senpai kill that old bastard right now, so whether he's a good guy or a bad guy, he'll just be a dead man."
Holy crap, that makes perfect sense!
Shinji was speechless for a moment, completely unable to refute.
. . . . . .
Several days later, Shinji and his group were getting closer and closer to Konoha, and nothing unexpected happened along the way.
Shinji guessed that Danzo probably didn't have any particular thoughts about Hozuki Mangetsu.
Just like Danzo remained unmoved even after learning that his former partner Orochimaru was in the Land of Water.
That's for the best; Shinji will at least have some peace and quiet.
His entire attention was now focused on the "Thirsty Man's Stomach" in his hands.
Because today is the seventh day!
He has just filled it with his blood for the seventh time in a row; success or failure hinges on this one shudder!
Glug, glug...
Once filled, the "thirsty person's stomach" seemed to come alive, with constant sounds of drinking water coming from inside, before it actually deflated.
Then, after he let out a burp, Shinji heard what sounded like someone vomiting...
His expression changed slightly, but under his gaze, the water bag, which had been shriveled, suddenly became plump again.
Shinji had an idea. He opened the bag and poured out some of the liquid inside.
The color and smell are both correct.
The most crucial step is here!
Shinji directly infused it with magical power, and then tried to use the Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique.
The blood that was poured out immediately condensed into blood needles under his control!
Become!
Shinji was overjoyed.
From then on, he not only possessed blood that he could wreak havoc at will, but this blood was also naturally poisonous, saving him a lot of trouble.
Take out the rope that you prepared beforehand, tie it up, and put it around your waist.
I can't wait for the next unlucky one to appear!
Shinji smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.
[Chapter 187. Attack (Fifth update, please subscribe!)]
"Mind-Controlling Puppet Spell Seal Technique!"
"Secret Technique: Poison Dust Technique!"
Several cursed spirits hiding nearby were swiftly and cleanly killed by Danzo's two guards.
Throughout the entire process, Hozuki Mangetsu remained a detached observer, even when a cursed spirit attacked from his direction, he simply pretended not to see it.
Shinji understood what he meant. Although he felt it was a pity, he could only stand by and watch as the cursed soul points in front of him were wasted.
After all, he's quite protective of his own people.
