I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

Upon hearing this, Onoki immediately snorted coldly, "You people of the Evil God Cult are indeed very bold. You kidnapped my granddaughter and even dared to show your face to demand a ransom. Do you really think there's no one in Iwagakure!"

"Alright, there's no one else here. Stop your clumsy performance. If you didn't care about that woman's life or death, you wouldn't have come out to see me in the first place. So just be quick and agree to my demands, and we'll exchange the woman for the goods."

Shinji was too lazy to play any tricks on this old geezer. It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea anyway. It would be best if he could make some money out of him, but if not, so be it.

He won't waste too much time here.

Onoki's angry expression vanished completely, replaced by calm.

At his advanced age, and still the village's shadow, how could he possibly be like a hothead, showing all his emotions on his face?

I was just making an attitude to show the other party.

It means to warn the other party not to try to make exorbitant demands, otherwise the deal will fall apart and they will face fierce retaliation from Iwagakure.

More importantly, you need to make the other party wary, so they won't take the goods and then kill the hostage.

Shinji understands all of this, which is why he told Onoki to keep things simple and stop going in circles, it's exhausting!

"Speak, what is your purpose in going to such lengths to kidnap my granddaughter?" Onoki said with a cold snort.

Shinji sighed helplessly; it was clear that the old man was overthinking things.

But in reality, it's not surprising that Onoki would overthink it. It's just as absurd as when Shinji's previous life had someone kidnap the US president's daughter, and all the kidnappers wanted was a batch of US military equipment that had been phased out!

Do you really think you're that serious?

Isn't this something you can just buy with money?

Why make such a big deal out of it?!

Coincidentally, Onoki thought the same thing. He didn't believe that this evil cult had kidnapped his granddaughter specifically for some cursed objects that they were unsure if they could use.

He believed that the members of the evil cult must have ulterior motives.

The capture of the Jinchūriki and the attacks by cursed spirits further convinced him of this.

What could Shinji say?

He also wanted to say that it was just a coincidence, and that the source was two self-righteous geniuses.

But if he said that, Onoki would probably think he was deliberately hiding something...

"I'll say it again, I've already written down what I want on that piece of paper. Give me the things, and I promise to return that woman unharmed."

[Chapter 431. Landslide and Earth Shattering]

Onoki frowned, looking at the guy's serious expression, then suddenly nodded, "Alright, I can give you what you want. But I need to see the person first, and I'll decide the time and place of the transaction."

Shinji refused without hesitation, saying, "You'll be able to see the person on the day of the transaction. You can decide the time, but I must specify the location."

If he had readily agreed without a second thought, Onoki would have suspected there might be some kind of conspiracy involved.

Seeing that he was arguing his case logically and seemed genuinely interested in making a deal, Onoki breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the possibility of a conspiracy theory cannot be ruled out.

Who put him in that position? He's spent his whole life scheming and plotting against each other.

Suspicion has long been an instinct.

So the two agreed to meet three days later on a mountain ten miles away from here for the transaction. Each side could bring no more than three people, not including Heitu.

The deal was thus successfully completed.

Shinji, after a smooth journey, began to suspect once again what he had done that had angered both heaven and man.

Or has that old geezer Onoki already dug a pit for him, waiting for him to jump in on his own?

Shinji could basically foresee that many unexpected things would happen during the trading process three days later.

That old geezer is no pushover; he'll definitely cause some trouble!

. . . . . . .

Over three days, Onoki tried to send out many people to find the group of cursed spirits that had attacked several villages, but all his efforts were in vain.

These cursed spirits are like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, making you uneasy, as they might suddenly jump out and bite you at any moment.

However, on this day, he had to put everything else aside for the time being.

Carrying yellow and red soil, they arrived at the mountain as promised.

Shinji, along with Hidan, Tamamo Hotaru, and the bound Kurotsuchi, were already waiting there.

"Black soil!"

Seeing his daughter's disheveled state, Huang Tu's anger was instantly ignited.

But Onoki only glanced at him, and all his anger was extinguished.

Where is the stuff?

Shinji didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

Onoki gestured to Akatsuchi, who immediately put down a large box he was carrying and opened it.

"Let's make a deal."

"No rush, let's inspect the goods first."

Onoki's eyes flickered slightly. "I can inspect the goods, but I also need to inspect the people."

"Then send one person from each side."

On Shinji's side, it's naturally Shinji himself who takes the test; no one else can verify it.

Moreover, outsiders are unaware that he is actually the true core of this team.

The nominal leader is Hidan, and the one who caused a huge disturbance in Iwagakure was Tobi. What does this have to do with Shinji Akagi?

Onoki seemed very confident, thinking that it didn't matter who tested it, and didn't object. He then sent Hiroto.

Shinji approached Onoki and began examining the box of cursed items.

However, as he handled them one by one, his expression suddenly turned rather unpleasant.

Are you kidding me?

This is full of scrap metal from who-knows-where, and has absolutely nothing to do with cursed objects!

Clearly, from the beginning, Onoki never intended to conduct this deal properly.

Realizing he had been discovered, Onoki immediately shouted, "Attack!"

Having anticipated this, Akatsuchi immediately slammed his hands on the ground, activating an Earth Release ninjutsu.

Suddenly, a hemispherical earthen wall rose up and trapped Shinji inside.

But at the same time, something else happened on the other side of the Yellow River.

If the cursed object is fake, then can't the black soil also be fake?!

With a loud bang.

The bound Kurotsuchi immediately transformed into the form of Tamamo Hoshino, while the other Tamamo Hoshino standing beside her was actually the white fox, Kyogetsu, in disguise.

Shinji had made multiple preparations well in advance!

The last thing Onoki saw on Shinji's face was an undisguised expression of mockery.

That was as if to say, "You old bastard, I was prepared for this!"

Onoki was so angry that his face turned ashen. He simply tore off the mask and revealed his true intentions.

"Leave them all here!"

At a command, dozens of Iwagakure ninjas who had infiltrated the mountains using the Earth Dragon Concealment Technique immediately appeared and emerged from the ground.

In the blink of an eye, they had surrounded Hidan and his companions.

With two swift strokes, Shinji cleaved through the rock wall that had trapped him and emerged from it.

He looked at the situation and couldn't help but sneer, "Although I expected you wouldn't do the deal honestly, I didn't expect you to be so indifferent to your granddaughter's life or death."

Onoki's heart sank, but he still stubbornly said, "As long as we capture you, Kurotsuchi will naturally be able to return safely."

"Is that so? It seems the Tsuchikage is quite confident. He thinks he can keep us here with just these people."

"More than enough! Unless each of you can come and go as freely as that masked bastard, you'll all stay here today!"

Onoki didn't want to waste any more words with them, so he simply waved his hand, and these elite ninjas from Iwagakure immediately launched an attack on Shinji and his group.

Shinji immediately showed a disdainful expression, and was about to curse the group to death with a spell, when he heard Hidan's maniacal laughter.

It seems he's been holding back for a while, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to have a good time.

So Shinji simply gave up on using incantations, instead twirling his guillotine and instantly rushing out to slice the unfortunate man in half, along with the earthen wall in front of him.

This is indeed a good way to vent.

Just as Onoki was leading his men to ambush Shinji and his group, an uninvited guest who was supposed to appear long ago finally arrived outside Iwagakure as required by the script.

"Let's start conquering the world from here."

Woody gazed at the village surrounded by rocky mountains, pressed his hands to the ground, and then a surge of magical energy began to flow into it...

"Spirit-Shaking Spell - The Lost Ruins!"

The earth began to shake, and at a very peculiar frequency.

Furthermore, the intensity of the tremors began to increase rapidly in a way that was visible to the naked eye, and the tremors spread towards Iwagakure.

At this moment, the people in Iwagakure subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked puzzled.

"Is the ground... shaking?"

"Am I seeing things? I feel like the house is shaking!"

"Earthquake! It's an earthquake! Run!"

. . . . . .

When the vibration exceeds a certain threshold, it instantly causes a qualitative change.

The earth cracked, houses collapsed, and even the surrounding rocky mountains began to crumble and disintegrate!
