Chap.94 Immortal mince

-You! -Asuma felt like vomiting blood when he heard Tony's words.

He was already upset enough with the death of his friend and now he was bringing up that topic, he really wanted to know what he was thinking.

Choji and Shikamaru realized the critical information.

Kurenai was pregnant and Asuma was the father?

Even though they knew the two were in a relationship, they weren't even married yet!

-Hey! Stop ignoring me -Hidan threw her red scythe towards Asuma with the intention of teaching him a lesson and the latter made a stance to try to hit her with his weapons.

-No, you don't! -Tony stuck Asuma's back with chewing gum and pulled him out of the scythe's reach, "Are you even listening to me? No! Use! Taijutsu!

-Don't interfere, it's mine! -Asuma shouted as he moodily threw the gum away, until he suddenly felt paralyzed- Shikamaru?

-You're getting carried away by emotions- said Shikamaru looking at him with sadness but determination while tying his shadow with his clan's technique- Tony! -he called.

-Summoning technique! -Tony summoned Alcremie and threw it over Asuma's head- Reverse summoning!

-No!" Asuma tried to stop him, but vanished in a cloud of smoke when the space jutsu worked.

-Choji shook his head, even though he felt that his two friends' actions seemed correct.

-Don't worry, we'll go find Kurenai first, let's see if he dares to protest by then! -Shikamaru had plans to confront Asuma on his own terms.

-Tch! I guess I'll have to settle for sacrificing you guys," Hidan complained as he retrieved the scythe by pulling the cable connected to his waist.

-We've got your back, Tony," said Shikamaru as he and Chijo got into position, "Kotetsu! Izumo! Watch your surroundings please, you might get some backup if your partner sends out a warning signal.

-Oh, so the filler names 1 and 2 were Kotetsu and Izumo - Tony thought after hearing that.

It wasn't that he wanted to disrespect them before or anything, he really didn't remember their names, after all, the few times I remember seeing the Konoha ninja duo was when they were guarding the village gates.

-Let's enjoy some pain together! -Hidan shouted as he lunged at Tony with a fanatical look on his face.

Tony pulled his two knives from his sleeves and in one motion, cut the three-pronged scythe into several pieces, leaving only a blunt blade in Hidan's hands.

-Damn it! -Hidan complained looking at his damaged weapon with annoyance- Do you know how expensive it is to make this weapon? Kakuzu will lecture me again for having to use the organization's funds again! -Hidan threw down the now useless weapon and pulled out a black iron folding fist as he tried to attack again.

Tony slammed his fist into the ground and a wave of mud rose up towards Hidan.

-Do you think a little mud can stop me? -Hidan laughed as he tried to move the mud away.

The mud changed color to a reddish hue and the temperature rose abruptly.

-What the hell? -Hidan looked surprised at the change in the enemy attack, "Isn't that the Yonbi's technique? -he said before the magma covered him.

-Is it over? -Choji asked.

-I don't think so, Tony hasn't relaxed yet at least - denied Shikamaru, as he considered how he could try to help defeat this Akatsuki member.

Hidan's figure was revealed with burns all over his body that began to heal at a visible rate.

-This pain is nothing! -Hidan said as he looked at Tony, "Jashin-sama won't be satisfied by something so small and I don't want to lose his favor! Come on, fight like a man!

-Yeah, I guess it wasn't going to be that simple -if burying him in magma was enough to hurt him, he wouldn't be part of Akatsuki's zombie duo- I'd better hurry or Kakuzu will finish counting the money.

Tony's initial plan was to use the Breath of En to finish Hidan, but after the clarification he got from the System, he had a somewhat different plan in mind. He summoned several arm-thick snakes and as Hidan tried to free himself from their restraint, he began to cut off his leg, his arm....

In short, he reduced Hidan to tiny pieces.

As for the snakes? They were of the common type and didn't even have wisdom, so he had no remorse in cutting them at the same time as Hidan even if they were his summonings.

At most he would barbecue some snake meat later, it's been a while since he prepared any.

-Do you think this will be enough to stop me? You have no idea how much power the great Jashin-sama possesses! You can't kill me," shouted Hidan's head between the different pieces of his body, "When I'm mounted again, I'll give you an especially painful death!

-What's going on? -A foreign voice emerged from the building next to the fight and a man with a mask covering his face except for his eyes in a black robe with red clouds stepped forward.

-It's about time, you greedy bastard, why do you always have to count the money every time you redeem a reward? -Hidan protested, rolling his eyes in the direction of the voice as he could not take the initiative to turn his neck in his state.

-Shut up! -Kakuzu shouted at Hidan, "You're a pain in the ass! I've told you many times to always check payment, I won't accept less than promised for my effort!

-Just ride me again, it's awkward to talk like this!

-Kakuzu, isn't it? -Tony interrupted their talk of companionship.

-You know me? -Kakuzu looked away from Hidan and observed Tony- -Mmm, I don't remember your image from any reward poster.

-I offer you five million if you ignore Hidan while dealing with him.

-Five million? -Kakuzu felt a little offended by the offer- At least ten million and it has to be cash payment and immediate!

-Deal -Tony took out a suitcase with money in it and threw it to Kakuzu, who reached out his arm and held it gingerly until he opened it and saw the real money inside.

-Hey, Kakuzu, you can't do that," Hidan shouted angrily as he watched them negotiate as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

-Get rid of you and your religious antics at the same time I get some money. From my point of view, it's pure profit," Kakuzu commented in a more cheerful tone as he counted the money, "I hope my next partner gets a decent bounty on his head.

Choji and Shikamaru watched the exchange and their gaze alternated between the three actors. The information Tony brought specified that this guy, Kakuzu, is obsessed with money, but seeing it with their own eyes was truly eye-opening.

Tony approached Hidan's remains and held his head by his hair, ignoring his curses and complaints.

-Summoning technique!

A puff of smoke erupted beside Tony and a humanoid figure with feline features appeared beside him, looking around with interest. Everyone present felt goosebumps rise on their skin for some reason.

-What business do you have with me, contractor? -he asked in his feminine voice.

-I have something I think you might be quite interested in, Neferpitou.
