The Ritual of the Evil God, A Beautiful Future!

When Hidan mentioned this name, Uchiha Jin's eyes flickered slightly.

Jashin Cult, he only knew a little about it.

This is a mysterious organization wandering in the Land of Hot Water, worshiping a deity called the 'Evil God.'

The powerful members of the organization can rely on unique blood curses and ritualistic Secret Jutsu to possess a terrifying 'first-sight kill' ability.

In the original story, the Hot Water Village, fearing war, did nothing and remained in a corner, even earning the title 'the village that forgot war.'

However, this conflicted with Hidan's idea of saving the Land of Hot Water through strong means. He gradually became dissatisfied with the Hot Water Ninja Village, so he began to pay attention to the emerging religion in the Land of Hot Water, the 'Jashin Cult.'

Uchiha Jin just didn't expect that...

At this time, Hidan, who wasn't even a Genin, had already started paying attention to this organization?

At this moment, Hidan's face darkened, and he spoke up:

"Let me tell you this, Jin!"

"Listen up—"

"The Land of Hot Water is beyond saving!"

"This country has already been dragged into the war among the five great nations. Do you know what that means?"

The expression on Hidan's face gradually turned sinister, and he stated in a deep voice:

"I've seen too many Ninjas in the Land of Hot Water."

"Ninjas from Hidden Rock, Mist, Hidden Cloud, Sand, and Konoha, wearing headbands from these great nations, run rampant on this land. They don't care about the lives of the Land of Hot Water's civilians. When they meet, it's a death match, and large-scale Ninjutsu is recklessly unleashed."

"Have you ever had such an experience? Walking down the road, suddenly a village beside you gets flooded, swallowed by an earthquake's fissure, or destroyed by lightning falling from the sky."

"Then, my sensei, a Jonin from the Hot Water Village, grabbed my shoulder and told me—"

"Hidan, get out of here quickly. Once we reach the Hot Water Village, we'll be safe."

"I remember his fearful expression, his forehead dripping with sweat, his eyes clearly showing anger but turning away, unable to look."

Jin couldn't help but take a deep breath upon hearing this.

In the room, Hidan sat in a chair.

Bright sunlight streamed through a large hole in the wall and illuminated him, yet it seemed to be entirely absorbed by his body.

Like a black hole.

Hidan's expression was dark and frightening, with anger barely concealed on his face. The skin at the corners of his eyes looked as if it might crack, and he stared wide-eyed at Jin, sneering:

"I asked my sensei why he didn't save them."

"With your ability, sensei, you could have done it, right? You could have defeated those Chunin who were slaughtering civilians, right? You could have killed them, erased all traces, and then escaped, right?"

"Kill them! Why didn't you kill them?"

"Do you know how my sensei answered me?" Hidan paused for a moment, then looked up at Jin and asked.

Jin sighed and said:

"Probably something like, 'Hidan, don't stir up trouble. We're not their match,' right?"

The stark contrast made him think of Uchiha Shana's protective words when facing the formidable enemy from Hidden Cloud, words comparable to self-destruction in their intensity. For a mere Genin, risking the entire clan's pursuit!

Hidan shook his head and said with a sad smile:

"But my sensei said—"

"Those people have nothing to do with us. Don't get involved."

"Can you believe it?"

"He actually said—those people have nothing to do with us?"

"My sensei's hometown is from that village. Our trip out of the village was also to bring my sensei's wife back to the village."

"He actually said those people have nothing to do with us?!!!!!!"

Hidan's emotions flared up, and he couldn't help but snatch the apple from Uchiha Jin's hand, throwing it on the ground and smashing it to bits.

Uchiha Jin: Are you kidding me? That was my apple you little rat!

Jin shook his head and sighed. Although he had long anticipated the fucked-up nature of this world, hearing about such a tragedy still made it hard for him to accept.

"This world is indeed so messed up, but what does all this have to do with the Jashin Cult?"

Hidan nodded and took out a small booklet from his waist pouch.

He slapped it into Uchiha Jin's hand, looking both sincere and excited:

"Jin, look at this."

"Look at this doctrine!"

"The declining Land of Hot Water has finally seen its dawn!"

"Its name is—"

"Jashin Cult!"

Hidan's smile gradually became perverse.

"Kill! Kill everything around you!"

"Stand up and kill, squat and kill, tie people up and kill them in the stable, cover them with horse manure and then kill them, bind their hands and kick them into a boiling oil pot and kill them, Kill everything, everything!"

"Ninjas, civilians, nobles, Daimyos—"

"Kill them all!"

"Let this country welcome a purge!"

"Set the stage, stain it with blood, and use the heads of millions, billions of beings to set up the altar, and perform the ritual!"

"And then—"

"Welcome the Evil God!"

"When the deity descends, all the faithful will receive eternal suffering!"

"Erase all sins!"

"The newly born Land of Hot Water will, in the embrace of the Evil God, become the sixth great nation of the ninja world!"

"And will forever find peace!"

As the words fell,

Hidan stood in the blazing light, spreading his arms wide, with a fanatical expression, staring directly at the sun.

As if he saw a light brighter than the sun! Jin looked at Hidan in front of him, stunned, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Have you already joined the Jashin Cult?"

Hidan suddenly shook his head dejectedly.

"Not yet."

"But they should be arriving soon—"

Hidan laughed heartily and slapped Jin on the shoulder, saying very sincerely:

"Jin, help me."

"Joining the Jashin Cult requires sacrifices!"

"Offering myself is not enough, I need you!"

"Join me on the cross and become a follower of the god!"

"At that time,"

"We will stand side by side at the top of this country, making the Land of Hot Water—"

"Forever great!"

Jin sweat slightly from his forehead, staring at Hidan in shock.

This guy is actually inviting him to become a sacrifice, and he probably even thinks it's a great thing!

Uchiha Jin couldn't help but wince.

For Hidan, becoming a sacrifice was, of course, a good thing. He would gain an 'immortal body' surpassing the terror of death, master various Secret Jutsu and curses from the Evil God's secret texts, and rise through the ranks in the Jashin Cult, getting promoted, becoming a general manager, assuming the role of CEO, marrying the Bloody March Scythe and the Dark Spear sister pairs, and reaching the pinnacle of life!

Just thinking about it was a bit exciting.

"Hmm?"

Jin was suddenly stunned, as if he saw a broad road specially designed for insurance fraud stretching out before him! Angels singing, fairies scattering flowers, just waiting for him to take a step forward.

This is also a good thing for me!

Facing a notorious evil cult like the Jashin Cult, a villainous force, Uchiha Jin, the righteous man who loves peace and justice and vows to lead the ninja world to a bright future, could not ignore it.

With excitement on his face, Jin jumped out of bed, grabbed the Jashin Cult booklet tightly in his hand, and firmly took hold of Hidan's hands.

"Hidan, good buddy! Great!"

"Then let's go to the Jashin Cult together!"

"We both have a bright future ahead!"
