Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Evil God Projection, Mount Myoboku Shakes!
The Sage Body takes effect, and Sasuke's wound heals in the blink of an eye. His expression is cold as he looks down at Hidan and the Water Mask beside him.
So that's it—the Water Mask was hit by the Water Dragon Bullet but didn't die, instead taking the opportunity to save its companions. The guy with the scythe was cut in two but didn't die, confirming his immortality as the entry suggested.
At this moment, the Water Mask re-entered Kakuzu's body. Kakuzu slowly stood up, speaking weakly, "Since I defected, this is the first time my body has been beaten so badly!" He then turned to Hidan, "It's up to you next."
Hidan grinned, licking the blood on his scythe, "Haha, I can offer the best living sacrifice to the Evil God again. I'm so lucky!" Simultaneously, Hidan's skin turned black, with white lines resembling bones appearing on it.
Sasuke suddenly felt a bad premonition, as if an invisible thread connected him to the vast universe. On the other side, Hidan used his own blood to draw a formation under his feet. In an instant, the formation was complete—a circle with a radius of one meter, containing an equilateral triangle.
Sasuke's unease grew stronger.
Black Zetsu commented, "At this point, the outcome is determined. Sasuke will definitely lose this battle."
White Zetsu regretted, "Alas, it's a pity we won't see the power of Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan..."
Jūgo's heart was in turmoil, imagining Sasuke leaving him.
Suddenly, Hidan pulled out a pitch-black spear from his clothes, his expression fanatical, "Ah, great Evil God, please accept my sacrifice..." With a cruel smile, he continued, "Be a good sacrifice, Curse: Death by Blood!"
As soon as he spoke, Hidan stabbed his own heart with the pitch-black spear!
Bang, bang, bang! His heart pounded, and a strong sense of crisis surged within Sasuke—a premonition of death!
Sasuke's eyes narrowed; he had to stop Hidan, or his life would be in danger!
"Genjutsu: Jagged Hang Technique!"
It happened in a split second. Whoosh! The black spear suddenly stopped after piercing three centimeters.
Simultaneously, Sasuke felt a sharp pain in his heart, and looking down, he saw blood staining his white clothes. He was shocked—what was happening? Could it be that Hidan's injuries were being transferred to him?
White Zetsu exclaimed, "Wow, does Sasuke know about Hidan's special ability?"
Black Zetsu said solemnly, "No, it should be impossible. Sasuke realized the danger by intuition and stopped Hidan."
White Zetsu added, "What amazing combat awareness, but now, Sasuke can't do anything. As long as Kakuzu makes one more move... Hey, where is he?"
Black Zetsu replied, "Kakuzu slipped away when Hidan drew the magic circle."
White Zetsu was speechless, "As expected, he survived fighting the First Hokage..."
At this time, Hidan cursed Kakuzu while trying to break free from the Genjutsu. The black spear slowly pierced deeper.
Sasuke remained calm, focusing on the magic circle under Hidan's feet—it must be the key to Hidan's counterattack!
With a whoosh, the three tomoe were covered by the six-pointed star pattern.
Mangekyō Sharingan, activate!
Instantly, Sasuke's aura was as cold as an ice pond.
Black Zetsu was shocked, realizing Sasuke was about to use the Mangekyō's special ability!
Jūgo's eyes narrowed. Had Sasuke found a way to counter it, or was he ready to go all out?
Hidan felt a chill, and the spear's piercing speed increased.
Suddenly, the world was silent, and only Sasuke's faint voice echoed, "Amaterasu!"
Boom! Black flames erupted, destroying the magic circle instantly. Almost simultaneously, Sasuke felt the thread connecting him snap with a pop!
Good, the connection was successfully severed!
Black Zetsu's face changed drastically, "What, it's Amaterasu!"
White Zetsu exclaimed, "Isn't Amaterasu Itachi's ultimate move?"
Black Zetsu explained, "The Mangekyō is the eye of the soul, and generally, the same ability rarely appears..."
White Zetsu guessed, "Maybe Sasuke and Itachi are brothers, so they have the same ability."
Black Zetsu continued, "Maybe, but now the situation is reversed, and Sasuke wins this battle..."
Before he finished speaking, something strange happened.
Black clouds swarmed in, and the sky darkened. Cold winds rose, and lightning danced.
Boom!
A beam of black light fell from the sky, hitting Hidan like a waterfall.
Hidan's eyes were fanatical as he dropped the black spear, clasped his hands, and knelt, "Oh, Lord Evil God, the believers finally see you!"
Sasuke's eyes narrowed, thinking Hidan was crazy.
But more importantly, since the black clouds appeared, the natural energy had become extremely violent, as if encountering a life-and-death enemy...
Jūgo was terrified. Born to sense natural energy, he had never seen it so violent!
Something unusual was happening.
Black Zetsu's lips trembled, "What, this power... is stronger than the Sage of Six Paths..."
White Zetsu asked, "Black Zetsu, what's wrong with you?"
Black Zetsu replied, "Didn't you feel it?"
White Zetsu said, "Of course I felt it, didn't you see me shivering with cold?"
Black Zetsu was speechless.
Suddenly, a scream erupted from Hidan, chilling everyone.
His aura changed drastically, becoming ghostly. Sasuke was shocked—what strange trick was this time?
At this moment, "Hidan" slowly stood up, his eyes like red magma, surrounded by black mist.
The black mist rose, forming a skull with a strange laugh.
Boom!
The aura surged around "Hidan."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. What a strange aura, not human at all!
Wait, could it be the "horrible existence" mentioned in the entry system?
Suddenly, the Mangekyō felt hot. Sasuke's eyes hurt, and he saw a huge eyeball appear behind "Hidan."
No, it was a part of that terrifying existence projected into this world!
Black Zetsu looked grim. He didn't expect such an aura! Impossible, there had never been a being with such a terrifying aura in the ninja world for thousands of years!
Could it be that the other party is like "Mother"... an alien?
At the same time, the three holy places were shaken!
Mount Myoboku
The Toad Sage "Gamamaru" suddenly awoke from his sleep.
It opened its eyes, fear on its old and shriveled face, "What a terrifying pressure, exactly like the Sage of Six Paths in his prime!"
Similarly, the expressions of the White Snake Sage and the Slug Sage revealed unprecedented shock.
Even someone in the Pure Land World was alarmed!
At this time, "Hidan" looked at Sasuke and slowly said, "Ant, you will pay the price for blaspheming me!"
"■■■..."
With the mysterious murmur from "Hidan," a black line shot from his fingertips, drilling into Sasuke's mind at unimaginable speed.
Jūgo was horrified, "Sasuke!"
Black Zetsu was terrified, "Let's go quickly; if that terrifying existence discovers us, we're doomed!"
White Zetsu hesitated, "But I want to know if Sasuke can fight back..."
Black Zetsu retorted, "Humph, Sasuke is definitely finished this time!"
