I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

With two immortal beings combined, along with the powerful spells [Death Possession Blood] and [Crimson Blood Manipulation], once they grow up, they will definitely be no weaker than any Kage-level powerhouse!

Only with a Kage-level expert in charge can their Evil God Cult truly grow stronger and become a force to be reckoned with in the ninja world!

It must be said that the leader of the Takihata Cult has great ambitions and a well-thought-out plan.

However, plans may never keep up with changes.

"Shinji, how long have you been here?"

After another tube of blood was drawn as experimental material, Shinji paused slightly upon hearing this, then thought for a moment, "It's been about... three months, I guess."

Knowing full well what he was asking, the leader of the Takihata Cult nodded slightly. "Since you've been with us for three months now, um... I have a task for you."

Shinji was taken aback at first, then forced himself to calm down.

Has she truly trusted him, or is this just a test?

But then he thought about it again and suddenly felt it didn't matter.

After all, he is not ready to jump ship from the small boat of the Evil God Cult. Even if he were to leave, he would only do so after squeezing out every last drop of value.

So whether the other person has already gained some initial trust in him or is taking the opportunity to test him, he doesn't need to be afraid; he can just be himself.

Thinking of this, Shinji immediately said, "I will obey Lord Takihata's orders. Shinji is willing to offer everything for Lord Jashin, including his life!"

Seemingly pleased with Shinji's display of loyalty, the leader of the Takihata sect smiled even more kindly.

"You and Hidan are the future of my Jashin Cult. You will have even greater responsibilities to bear in the future, so don't think about serving the Jashin so easily. My followers and I have been waiting for that day for a long time. It's not your turn now."

"Yes, Lord Takihata. Shinji was being presumptuous."

No one would want to serve some evil god!

This good thing is yours. You should hurry up and take those believers to see the evil god!

Shinji appeared respectful on the surface, but inwardly he was ranting and raving.

After gently patting Shinji on the shoulder, the leader of the Takihata Cult continued, "Actually, it's not a difficult task. There's a wealthy man in the Land of Waves who has been secretly supporting us. Recently, he's run into some trouble and we need to help him out."

“We’ve seen how hard you and Hidan have been training lately. But if you want to improve your strength quickly, hiding here and working in isolation won’t work.”

"Only through sufficient battles and trials of blood can one grow into a powerful individual capable of standing alone!"

"Therefore, I've decided to send only you and Hidan on this mission. I hope you two won't disappoint me."

Looking at the kind smile on Takihata's face, Shinji solemnly agreed, but remained silent in his heart.

"You're kidding me! I don't believe you don't have other plans in mind!"

"Otherwise, how big of a head would you have to be to trust me and Hidan to go out and complete the mission together?"

"If you really lose your job or run away, you'll have nowhere to cry. Ha!"

and...

Who would want to go on a mission with Hidan?!

. . . . . . .

"Who wants to go on a mission with that bastard!"

Hidan, who had also received a mission from the cult leader, couldn't help but shout in his heart.

But since it was a decision already made by Takihata, the leader of the cult, it naturally wouldn't be changed because of their personal preferences.

Moreover, in Takihata's view, the conflict between Hidan and Shinji was nothing more than childish and simply a matter of not liking each other.

The relationship can improve immediately if you go through more things together.

For example, last time, who would have thought that Shinji would take the initiative to plead for Hidan, or even be willing to take the punishment for Hidan?

Who would have thought that Hidan, completely unaware of all this, would almost kill a cult member who was badmouthing Shinji behind his back just to stand up for him?

Therefore, the leader of the Takihata Cult firmly believes that his arrangement is correct!

Immortality is not insurmountable, but if two immortals with powerful spells team up, the effect of 1+1 will definitely be much greater than 2!

If Shinji and Hidan are to become true partners, they must start fighting together now to cultivate that understanding and bond!

[Chapter 10: The Cursed Treasure Map]

No matter how unwilling Shinji was, he still set off with Hidan.

And just as the leader of the Takihata cult said, it seems that no one was really sent to accompany them, as if they were very confident that the two of them would be able to complete the mission smoothly and return safely.

But unless Shinji is truly out of his mind, he simply cannot believe it.

It is more likely that the cult has already sent people to protect (monitor) them in secret.

"What are you looking at?"

Hidan asked impatiently, clearly indicating that if he had a choice, he wouldn't want to go on a mission with Shinji either.

"It's nothing, let's go."

Shinji withdrew his gaze, offered no explanation, and walked straight ahead.

Hidan scoffed and followed.

According to the map, they need to cross the Land of Fire and then take a boat to the Land of Waves.

Although the journey was long, for ninjas, traveling at full speed would only take a few days.

Of course, this mission wasn't that urgent.

Therefore, they didn't need to rush at all.

So they traveled at a leisurely pace, and it took them three days to finally penetrate deep into the Land of Fire.

After entering the Land of Fire, Shinji's behavior became noticeably strange.

It wasn't that he wanted to shake off Hidan and escape, nor did he intend to join Konoha.

He simply realized that he was getting closer and closer to the location marked on the "cursed treasure map".

"Should we go over and take a look?"

He hesitated, afraid that this would expose his biggest secret.

But then I thought, if I don't seize this opportunity, who knows when I'll be able to come out and get to this area again.

Moreover, he was extremely eager to know what this "cursed treasure map" could actually yield!

"Damn it, what's the point of hesitating and being so indecisive! If we actually dig something up, we can just say we hid it there before, and there shouldn't be any problem!"

Shinji wasn't blindly confident; rather, the Jashin Cult had poured so much effort into him and Hidan, and as long as he didn't rebel, there was no way they would be so short-sighted as to steal from him.

Another issue is the unreliability of this system, coupled with the word 'cursed'...

He was also worried that something might go wrong during the process, and that they might dig up another "zombie" (a type of Chinese zombie), turning fan fiction into a tomb raiding novel!

Looking up at the sky, night was about to fall.

Shen Si said casually, "It's getting dark. I saw on the map that there's a small village nearby. We can go there to buy some food and stay the night."

"This is really troublesome."

Hidan muttered something, but didn't object.

After all, he was getting a little annoyed with eating dry rations every day for the past few days and sleeping outdoors to feed mosquitoes.

If he could have a hot meal and a good night's sleep, he would have no reason to object.

Of course, we should still mock those who deserve it!

"They can't even stand it after just a few days? Some people are really spoiled!"

Shinji, not one to tolerate Hidan, retorted directly, "Then you can stay here and feed the mosquitoes. I'll go over there and see if there's any fried pork cutlet."

He left right after saying that, without any hesitation!

Hidan was left all alone, which was incredibly frustrating!

Following along would be somewhat like contradicting myself.

But if I don't go...

What if there really is fried pork cutlet?!

As a natural carnivore, Hidan hates all vegetarian food and vegetables, and his favorite food is fried pork cutlet.

And why should he stay behind to eat dry rations and feed the mosquitoes, while that bastard Shinji gets to enjoy himself?

Hidan then put on a stern face and immediately gave chase.

Seeing Shinji turn his gaze towards him, he immediately interjected, "I really can't do anything with you, so I'll reluctantly give in to you this once. But there won't be a next time, you hear me!"

A proud and arrogant guy, all talk and no action.

Shinji clicked his tongue twice, but didn't expose him any further.

After all, he was currently focusing most of his attention on that treasure map.

Defeating Hidan is a long-term endeavor; it's not something you can achieve overnight, so there's no rush, you can take your time.

"Keep up, we need to speed things up."

Having found his direction, Shinji put away the map and immediately began to accelerate.

In the original work, Hidan was the slowest member of the Akatsuki, but that was still compared to the monsters in the Akatsuki.

However, compared to ordinary ninjas, Hidan's speed is by no means slow.

So the two of them quickly deviated from their original route and headed north.

It took a full hour to finally see the village, and by then it was completely dark.

After stopping, Hidan couldn't help but complain, "This is the little village you mentioned nearby? Where have we come from?!"

Of course! How could a journey that takes ninjas like them an hour at full speed be considered 'nearby'?

Hidan felt like he'd been tricked!

That fried pork cutlet thing was just something that bastard Shinji deliberately said to lure him into a trap!

He was so stupid to fall for it and run all that way.
