"The ritual has begun!" Hidan shouted, then licked the blood of Kakuzu that stained his Bloody March Scythe. Instantly, his skin transformed into a pattern of black and white stripes.
This sudden change surprised both Kakuzu and Konan. They had never seen such a strange technique before.
At this moment, Kimimaro had already activated his Byakugan, carefully observing Hidan's technique. He hadn't yet figured out the secret of immortality, only noticing that after Hidan was injured, the cells in his body rapidly divided, repairing all the injured parts, somewhat similar to the Strength of a Hundred Seal.
But it didn't seem to reduce the number of cell divisions, which was stronger than the Strength of a Hundred Seal. It seemed he needed to study it further to uncover its secrets.
As for the Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood in front of him, he did see something.
"After Kakuzu's blood entered Hidan's body, the chakra carried in the blood resonated with Hidan's chakra. In that formation, their chakra transformed from resonance into a whole.
In other words, they achieved a state of shared body. Is this the true nature of the Death Controlling Possessed Blood?"
Kimimaro was quite surprised when he saw this. This Death Controlling Possessed Blood was somewhat similar to the Nara clan's Shadow Imitation Technique.
The difference was that the Shadow Imitation Technique synchronized the opponent's actions, while the Death Controlling Possessed Blood synchronized the opponent's chakra within their body.
The similarity was that, in the state of the technique, whether it was the Shadow Imitation Technique or the Death Controlling Possessed Blood, the damage was synchronized.
"Everything is ready, die!" Hidan yelled crazily, then pulled out a pitch-black spear and stabbed it directly into his own heart!
"Pierced the heart! So exhilarating! May the Evil God enjoy eternal glory!"
After shouting, the black and white colors on his body also dissipated.
At the same time, Kakuzu clutched his heart, his face full of pain. Just a moment ago, the synchronized chakra pierced his heart.
Hidan's heart could recover immediately, but his couldn't.
"This guy..."
His heart shattered, and the mask on his back surged, then broke out of his body and turned into nothingness.
"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
Kakuzu was furious. His good heart was just gone like that.
"Hey, hey, why aren't you dead? What's going on?"
Hidan looked puzzled.
But Kakuzu didn't give him time to be confused, coming up with a set of punches and beating him up.
Konan, who was watching the battle, frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled by Hidan's ability.
"Kimimaro, what do you think?"
Konan saw that Kimimaro was watching very intently, seeming to have figured out something, so she asked.
"Hidan's immortality can be confirmed. And the technique he just used is also very terrifying. It's easy to fall for it without knowing the information beforehand. Others don't have as many lives as Senior Kakuzu."
"Can you tell what technique Hidan used?"
"He drew a formation, licked blood, his body changed color, and shouted 'everything is ready, the ritual begins.' It's not hard to judge that his technique has activation conditions. And these conditions should be related to the enemy's blood and the formation under his feet."
Konan suddenly realized upon hearing this. Thinking back carefully, it was indeed like that.
"It's indeed a good ability. Can you separate them? It's time to talk business."
"I can, but let Senior Kakuzu enjoy himself for another three minutes. He must be very angry after losing a heart. If we don't let him vent, he might want to beat me up later."
Kimimaro wanted to see Hidan's recovery process after being injured a few more times, so he didn't intend to separate the two immediately.
"Okay."
Konan didn't refuse upon hearing this.
Just three minutes, she could wait.
And in these three minutes, Hidan had been struggling to resist Kakuzu's attacks, but apart from his taijutsu being able to suppress Kakuzu, he was lacking in all other aspects.
So, in these three minutes, he was "killed" by Kakuzu five times.
In addition to being pierced through the heart twice by the tentacle punch, he also experienced Wind Release, Lightning Release, and Fire Release once each, allowing Hidan to have a good time.
The wind blade cut Hidan's body, leaving countless wounds.
Lightning coursed through his entire body, providing free electrotherapy, leaving his body charred black.
Finally, flames hit his legs, causing severe burns.
But Hidan recovered from his injuries very quickly.
"Hey, hey, what's wrong with this guy? Not only can't he be killed, but he also knows so many strange techniques. I'm almost in pain from being beaten by him."
Hidan finally caught his breath and complained.
But just as he finished complaining, Kakuzu attacked again.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
The lightning spear swept over again!
"Again!"
Hidan had already suffered enough and quickly dodged.
Today's pain quota had been exceeded.
At this time, the three minutes were also up.
Kimimaro used Shunpo to block in front of Hidan, meeting the lightning spear released by Kakuzu.
"Binding Path Thirty-Nine! Round Shield Fan!"
Golden light rapidly spun in Kimimaro's palm, transforming into a shield in front of him.
Boom!
The lightning spear bombarded it, and both shattered at the same time!
Smoke and dust rose, enveloping the three figures, but it quickly dissipated.
Kakuzu's eyes widened, and he didn't attack again.
He didn't expect Kimimaro to suddenly intervene in their fight, nor did he expect him to so easily block his Lightning Release.
Although he didn't use his full strength in that attack, its power was still not to be underestimated.
This young man's strength was stronger than he had imagined.
Seeing this, Konan also became more interested in Kimimaro.
"Such a strange technique, but its defensive power is quite amazing."
Their information on Kimimaro was still incomplete.
Pain never cared about the abilities of Akatsuki members because, in his view, these people were all easily defeated by him.
In front of the Rinnegan, they were nothing.
"Senior Kakuzu, you've vented your anger. Don't forget the purpose of our visit this time. If we continue fighting, Mr. Hidan will become minced meat."
Kimimaro said lazily.
"Hmph, this is the consequence of destroying one of my hearts."
"It's not a big deal, just replace it next time."
"Kid, are you speaking human language? Be careful, or I'll beat you up too!"
"Alright, let's stop here."
Konan also came out and walked directly in front of Hidan.
"Who are you people? Wearing the same clothes, are you some kind of band? If you're a band, your strength is a bit too outrageous."
Hidan still didn't forget to make a吐槽 at this time.
"The Akatsuki Band seems like a good choice too. Senior Konan, you can suggest it to the leader for consideration. Actually, I also have a musical dream."
Kimimaro told a cold joke.
Konan ignored him and looked at Hidan, saying, "Your strength is good, join the Akatsuki."
"Akatsuki? What's that?"
Hidan looked puzzled.
