Our Jashin Cult Does Not Accept Illiterates!

With a sharp shout, the leader of the Jashin Cult showed no hesitation. His indifferent eyes focused on the girl as he thrust his spear straight at her.

Seeing this, Uchiha Jin didn't bother hiding his ninja identity any longer. He summoned his chakra and quickly moved to stand in front of the little girl.

In a moment of desperation, he had no choice but to extend a hand and firmly grasp the incoming black spear. The sharp edge of the spear cut through his palm, and blood flowed from the bandaged fingers, dripping to the ground.

Jin looked at his bleeding palm with a slight frown. It wasn't a good thing for the Jashin Cult to get their hands on his blood.

"I said, stop!"

He looked up slightly, his Sharingan eyes coldly fixed on the Jashin Cult leader.

"Sharingan? Uchiha?" The Jashin Cult leader squinted, stopped his actions, and his gaze flickered slightly.

The Uchiha people, who should have been watching the Chinoike savages in the Valley of Hell, have come to the Jashin Cult's territory. What are they trying to do?

"Damn it! What are you doing?"

At this moment, Hidan quickly jogged out, standing between Uchiha Jin and the Jashin Cult leader. He explained to the leader:

"Lord, this person is my friend and also aspires to join our Jashin Cult."

The Jashin Cult leader's gaze was icy as he looked at Jin, seemingly waiting for him to explain.

Seeing the situation calm down slightly, Jin shifted his gaze and spoke:

"Hidan is right. Let her go, and I'll become the sacrifice!"

This statement surprised everyone present, and they looked at Jin in shock. This kid actually wants to sacrifice himself to save a little girl he doesn't even know?

Among the crowd, a hooded girl calmly observed the situation. She was shrouded in the shadow of a black cloak with a hood, with only a few strands of reddish-brown hair falling from the edge of her hood.

Just when the Jashin Cult leader was about to stab the little girl, she was already prepared to intervene. However, upon seeing Uchiha Jin step forward, she slowly withdrew the seal she had formed.

At this moment, she looked at Jin with confusion. How could someone be so foolish as to sacrifice themselves to save another?

"Wait, what are you saying?"

"Didn't we agree to go to the cross together? Why are you trying to go first?!"

Upon hearing Jin's words, it was Hidan who was first to lose his composure. He looked at Jin in shock, with an expression that seemed to say, "I knew it would be like this."

At that moment, Hidan resembled someone in an interview who is competing for the last available spot and fears that the person ahead might snatch the offer from the interviewer. Deep inside, he was already lamenting.

This guy really wants to compete for the favor of Lord Jashin with me!

"You want to become a sacrifice?"

The Jashin Cult leader was momentarily stunned by these words. He took three steps back, slowly drawing his spear, and looked at Jin as if he were scrutinizing him. His gaze repeatedly fell on Jin's crimson Sharingan, and he couldn't help but gasp in shock.

The Uchiha have come to the Jashin Cult, shouting that they want to become a sacrifice?

The Jashin Cult leader felt as if he were dreaming.

"Indeed," Uchiha Jin stepped forward confidently and declared, "I want to become the sacrifice!"

"Take me to the Jashin Cult headquarters!"

However, upon hearing this, the Jashin Cult leader was not pleased. After a moment of bewilderment, his facial expression twisted into a complicated frown, as if he had ordered a jackfruit online and received a durian shell instead, disgusting and prickly!

What if the Uchiha Clan finds out that their own child was sacrificed on the altar by the Jashin Cult?

No need to wait until tomorrow.

That very night, the Uchiha forces stationed in the Valley of Hell will cross most of the Land of Hot Water overnight.

They'll skin him alive and hang him up to dry!

The Jashin Cult leader's expression grew darker as he pondered this. In the end, despite his unwillingness, he had no choice but to ask, with a professional detachment:

"You're a Ninja?"

"Yes," Jin nodded.

"We don't accept Ninjas," the Jashin Cult leader seized the opportunity to state.

"What did you say?" Jin glared and turned to Hidan, his expression as if asking, 'Little brother, what's going on here?'

You invited me to the Jashin Cult, but now it seems the five-man squad is already full? Do you look down on me?

Hidan was also taken aback and couldn't help but stand beside the Jashin Cult leader to remind him:

"Lord, I remember we do accept Ninjas, and didn't you tell me last time to bring one more back?"

The Jashin Cult leader looked at the disruptive Hidan, and his smile immediately stiffened.

I told you to capture a Ninja, and you brought back an Uchiha?

Doesn't he know that the Uchiha Clan is ranked second on the Land of Hot Water's list of the most troublesome groups?

"Oh, maybe I remembered wrong, hmm," the Jashin Cult leader began to sweat profusely.

But he definitely couldn't bear the responsibility of offering an Uchiha child as a sacrifice. His expression turned cold as he discreetly signaled his two subordinates standing behind him.

He then composed himself and looked at Jin with a stern face, asking coldly:

"Do you know what the purpose of our Jashin Cult is?"

Jin was momentarily stunned, thinking to himself, has the job market become this competitive?

Am I supposed to just stand here as a silent offering, or do I need to first enroll in and study two books on the 'Five-Year Bible and Three-Year Faith'?

"Ah, let me think. I have some impression," Jin said, his face tightening as he nervously pulled out the booklet Hidan had given him and flipped through a couple of pages.

Attempting to turn the interview into an open-book test.

However, at that moment—

Swish! Swish!

Two black spears suddenly flew toward Uchiha Jin from both sides.

The Jashin Cult leader gritted his teeth, tearing away his façade and releasing the black spear Uchiha Jin had grabbed. He swung his hands, drawing two more pitch-black spears from the dark robe's pouch.

He coldly stared at Jin and said coldly:

"Hmph, not even understanding the most basic principles, and you think you're worthy to hear the gospel of Lord Jashin?"

"My Jashin Cult does not accept illiterates!"

The two black spears whipped through the air, and the sudden attack made the hairs on the back of Jin's neck stand on end.

A tremendous sense of danger instantly spread through his mind. Jin realized that these three Jashin Cult lackeys were all experts!

In the next moment, two lines of subtitles appeared before his eyes:

[You have been attacked by Jashin Cult lackeys (Chunin-level traitors). The leader has explicitly labeled you as a "blind bard"!]

[Talent: Combat Intuition, S, activated.]

A shock like an electric current surged from head to toe.

In the next instant, Jin twisted his head, leaped and spun, his crimson Sharingan swirling as it traced the trajectory of the two incoming black spears.

In mid-air, he twisted his body and forcefully threw the blood-stained black spear he was holding to block one of the spears.

However, the other black spear came directly at his vital points!

Jin recalled Hidan's techniques from the future, and his pupils suddenly contracted. But, being mid-air, he could no longer twist his body to counter the attack. He could only evade the vital areas at the moment the spear was thrown.

This meant he would certainly be injured!

If injured, with his blood being taken, and combined with the previous cuts from blocking the Jashin Cult leader's spear, if any Jashin Cult member picked up that black spear or collected his blood from the ground, they might use it to cast the Curse Technique: Death Through Blood.

Under this terrifying technique, he would be nothing more than a dish for others to pick at!

Uchiha Jin couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, thinking that the Land of Hot Water was indeed fraught with dangers.

A group of Jashin Cult lackeys passing by actually had such terrifying stealth attack abilities!

However, at that moment—

A hooded girl in the crowd, with dark brows furrowed, slapped the railing and leaped out.

The reddish-brown tassels on her ears swayed in the wind.

She drew a Kunai from beneath her black robe, forming the Seal of the Snake with both hands.

Then, she stared at Jin with a pair of clear green eyes like gemstones, and shouted loudly::

"Fool, lower your head!"

"Water Release: Water Fang Blade!"
