I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

"Lord Shisui, this is all the ninjutsu scrolls from Yugakure, sent by Yugakure." A group of Konoha ninjas carried a large stack of scrolls into Shisui's office and reported.

“Very good.” Shisui glanced through the ninjutsu scrolls of the Hot Spring Ninja and nodded in satisfaction.

It's not that he was interested in the ninjutsu scrolls in front of him.

Compared to Konoha, and even the Uchiha clan with its thousand-year-old heritage, the mere ninjutsu of the Hot Spring Village would naturally not catch his eye.

Devour

What truly satisfied him was the attitude of Yugakure, the leader of Yugakure Village.

Shisui was quite surprised to hear that the Hidden Hot Springs of Yugakure were chosen from among the most respected ordinary people in the village.

In retrospect, this non-ninja-born Yugakure is actually quite good for Konoha.

If the other side hadn't been sensible enough to let the village give up resistance, although they could have occupied it, it wouldn't have been as easy as it is now.

It's always a good thing to bleed less.

Shisui was very satisfied with Tang Yin's cooperative attitude.

Looking out the window, one can see that although there are more Konoha ninjas on the street than before, the villagers of Yugakure have accepted it all after just one night, and the streets have returned to their usual bustling state.

No wonder it's a village that has forgotten the war.

Replacing the Yu Ninja with the more powerful Konoha might actually be a better thing for the people of this village.

Having fulfilled the Hokage's expectations, Shisui breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, after hearing his subordinates report the latest information about Yugakure Village that they had just gathered, he couldn't help but frown again.

"A follower of an evil god?"

The constant warfare and bloodshed not only caused immense suffering to the people of the ninja world, but also gave rise to various religions to provide them with spiritual support.

Besides the official religious organizations like the Fire Temple in the Land of Fire and the priestesses in the Land of Demons, there are many other sects in the folk who worship all sorts of strange gods.

Generally speaking, water-stopping systems don't pay attention to these things.

After all, these religions exist for their own reasons.

But this absolutely does not include those sects whose sacrificial practices are extremely bloody and whose doctrines are extremely distorted and evil.

Coincidentally, at that moment, the intelligence reported by his subordinates indicated that there was a group of cult members in Yugakure at that time.

Influenced by Yun Ting, Zhi Shui, who was extremely averse to religion, especially cults, immediately issued the order: "Arrest all those cult members!"

Now that Yugakure is under Konoha's control, Shisui doesn't want another group of mentally unstable people to cause trouble here in the future.

Therefore, it is best to eradicate such harmful cults as soon as possible, otherwise they will become too big to handle once they grow stronger.

"Yes!"

A team of Konoha ninjas sprang into action upon receiving the order.

Soon, the once peaceful Yugakure village was in turmoil again.

What are you trying to do?

"How dare you! You have the audacity to offend the great God!"

"Brothers and sisters, let's attack together and kill these blasphemers!"

"..."

The Jashin Cult is very powerful, and not everyone is as cautious as Hidan and the elders.

Even after the Cloud Ninja had used up all their cannon fodder, quite a few people still chose to return.

Now that they've been discovered, they're forced to fight the Konoha ninja who defeated the Cloud Ninja.

Chapter 118 Let's... talk peace.

The village of Tangyin, which had just calmed down, was thrown into turmoil again, causing great concern among the villagers.

However, after seeing that the two sides in the conflict were Konoha ninjas and members of the Jashin cult, they breathed a sigh of relief. Some even boldly watched the battle from the outside with great interest, almost as if they were cracking sunflower seeds.

In their eyes, the former was a newcomer, and the latter was a crazy, fearsome cult member; neither of them were good people.

It's quite a welcome sight to see a conflict break out between the two sides.

"Kill! For the glory of the true God!"

"The true God will punish you heretics!"

"Haha! The great God has granted us the power of immortality!"

"..."

The followers of the evil god cult resisted fiercely.

The Konoha ninjas should have had an easy time dealing with these people who weren't even ninjas.

However, unexpectedly, the two sides were deadlocked, and as time went on, the latter even lost ground.

The cause of all this was not the numerous and developed ordinary members of the evil god cult, but rather the true evil god cult members mixed in with them, wielding flying scythes.

"How is that possible? Are there really immortal people in this world?"

A Konoha ninja watched helplessly as the kunai in his hand plunged deep into the heart of the cultist before him.

Logically, the other party should have been killed, but the person in front of him still laughed menacingly:

"What? Surprised? This is the immortal power bestowed upon us by the great true God! Heretics, kneel down now and convert to my religion, and I, the messenger of God, may spare your lives."

Despite this, the seemingly unharmed member of the Evil God Cult still brandished his long-handled scythe with bloodlust, slashing fiercely at the Konoha ninja in front of him.

The latter leaped backward, easily dodging the attack.

The attacks of the evil god cult members are very crude; in a real one-on-one fight, they would be no match for the Konoha ninjas.

However, the former, with its large numbers and its willingness to exchange injuries for injuries without regard for its own safety, left the four Konoha ninjas who were carrying out this mission in a very sorry state.

Ultimately, the captain of the Konoha ninja squad decided to request reinforcements.

boom!

Fireworks signaling an emergency from Konoha burst into bloom in the sky.

Shisui's expression changed the moment he saw this scene.

Beside him, a Konoha ninja who had also noticed this scene exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible? They're just some ordinary people who follow a cult. How could a Konoha squad not be able to take them down? Could it be that some Yu-nin have joined them? Lord Shisui..."

His words abruptly stopped, for the man he spoke of, Lord Shisui, had vanished in an instant.

"So fast!" the Konoha ninja exclaimed, then relaxed.

"With Lord Shisui going, things should be resolved quickly. After all, he's someone who even defeated a Jinchuriki, a terrifying opponent!"

......

"Haha! Die!" A member of the Evil God Cult swung his flying scythe, about to strike a Konoha ninja who couldn't dodge in time.

suddenly!

A figure appeared between the two without warning. With a flash of light, the arm of the cultist wielding the scythe was severed instantly. With another strike, the blade pierced the latter's heart.

The visitor was none other than Uchiha Shisui.

He arrived in just five breaths after the distress signal was sent, demonstrating his incredible speed.

"Lord Shisui, be careful..." The Konoha ninja behind him was initially delighted to see Shisui arrive, but then anxiously warned him.

But before he could finish speaking, the member of the evil god cult, who had just been hit in the heart and had deliberately lowered his head, immediately bared his fangs while he was distracted by the stillness of the water.

However, his actions, though seemingly swift, were actually extremely slow in Shisui's eyes.

Although he was very surprised that the person in front of him was still alive after being hit in the heart, Shisui remained calm and kicked him away.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

With only one arm remaining and a deep gash torn open in the heart area, the evil god quickly rose to his feet, full of energy.

At the same time, the Konoha ninja behind Shisui quickly explained, "Lord Shisui, some members of this evil cult possess immortality. Even if they are hit in vital areas, they are still unharmed."

"An immortal body?" Shisui frowned slightly.

"Haha! It is indeed immortality! This is the power bestowed upon us by the great and incomparable true god! Konoha ninjas, do you want to obtain this powerful force? Convert to my True God Cult! As long as you have sincere faith, the great true god will also grant you immortality!" The evil god cult member in front of him laughed arrogantly, while also trying to recruit followers for his true god.

Shisui calmly shook his head: "Immortality? There is no such thing as true immortality in this world. The greater the power, the greater the cost. Your so-called immortality is just that your flaws haven't been discovered yet."

Just like the incredibly powerful Mangekyou Sharingan, the more it is used, the closer one's vision gets to blindness.

Shisui didn't believe that the so-called immortality of these people was truly perfect.

And that "true god" they mentioned—I'd never heard of him before. If it's true that he granted immortality as the person before me claims, then it seems the Land of Hot Springs, now under Konoha's control, will have to be thoroughly purged. We absolutely cannot allow such an organization to continue to grow stronger.

However, for now, let's take down these people in one fell swoop and interrogate them for information.

Shisui wasted no more time and immediately activated his Sharingan.

"You..." Before the evil cultist in front of him could say anything, he closed his eyes and collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of people falling to the ground with a series of thuds rang out.

In an instant, the once arrogant members of the Evil God Cult collapsed to the ground without any resistance under Zhi Shui's illusion.

The entire battlefield fell silent.

"So strong!"

The Konoha ninjas present were all astonished by this scene.

As people from the same village, they were naturally well aware of the power of the Sharingan's genjutsu.

But to this extent, I've never heard of anything like it.

He truly deserves to be called the number one genius of the Uchiha clan.

"Select those members of the evil god cult who possess immortal bodies and hand them over to the accompanying torture ninjas to gather intelligence," Shisui instructed, closing his Sharingan again.

tomato

He now prefers to place the title of the so-called number one genius of the Uchiha clan on his younger brother, Itachi.

But in the realm of illusion, he can still confidently claim to be number one.
