American Comics: BOSS Invasion

"Lord Hidan, it's been so long! You've changed quite a bit!"

Standing before Qishan, Yakushi Kabuto's tone was as humble as ever, but his appearance had undergone earth-shattering changes.

"You're the little assistant who followed Orochimaru, right? Judging by your appearance, you've gained quite a bit from Ryūchi Cave!"

Qishan sized him up, genuinely surprised. He had an animalistic appearance, slightly different from the mutated form he took after merging with Orochimaru's cells later on.

"So, you're here to divide territory with me?"

Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "Lord Hidan, don't joke. Since Lord Orochimaru's death, Otogakure has existed in name only. Even if you don't want to destroy it, it will be devoured by those who are called subordinates but are actually experimental subjects.

Besides, establishing a village was just a front put up by Lord Orochimaru to find a safe excuse for his experiments. Now it's completely unnecessary. Whether or not the village needs to exist anymore is irrelevant!"

"You're a heartless guy!"

"I'm here this time with a proposal!" Yakushi Kabuto revealed a smile and said calmly, "The Akatsuki's plan to collect the Tailed Beasts is nearing its end. I believe you've gradually noticed the shadow hidden behind the scenes, named Uchiha Madara.

This guy's appearance will definitely trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War!

I'm very interested in this war and have decided to join, but the power I have on hand is a bit weak. I only have some Kage-level powerhouses resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation. Because they are in a spirit state and only partially controlled, the strength they can exert is quite limited.

So, to increase my bargaining chips, I must find a force with a large scale to engage in full cooperation.

However, as you know, similar organizations are all large ninja villages and countries with their own goals, and they have nothing in common with an outsider like me.

Because of this, I once abandoned this idea, but Lord Hidan's Jashin religion suddenly developed, unexpectedly meeting my requirements."

"So, you want to cooperate with me?"

"Not just cooperate. I've collected some information about Lord Hidan. After the last disaster, Lord Hidan's personality seems to have changed slightly. Now, you seem to have a great passion for proselytizing!"

Yakushi Kabuto said with a smile, "I believe Lord Hidan is also clear that to gain more followers, you must first have a resounding reputation. Then war is an excellent opportunity.

If the Jashin religion can participate in the Fourth Shinobi World War, no matter which side you stand on, I can lead a large number of mid-to-high-level personnel to join the Jashin religion and promise to bring you about fifty thousand devout followers!"

Qishan chuckled, "Did I hear correctly? You want to use the power of the Jashin religion to launch a war, and the condition is to bring more devout followers to the Jashin religion?"

"With the unique ability to grant immortality, life is just a toy to be manipulated at will for true powerhouses! I believe Lord Hidan is now only concerned with the influence of the Jashin religion, and war is a shortcut!"

Yakushi Kabuto continued, "Of course, considering the current speed and scale of the Black Gun Knights under the Jashin religion, this condition seems a bit thin. Then, what if I add this?"

He took out a scroll from his chest and gently placed it on the table.

"These are the two most precious ninjutsu from Lord Orochimaru's lifelong research!

The complete version of the Impure World Reincarnation technique can achieve immortality through clever means.

The other is the Cursed Seal series technology developed through these energy cells.

With these two ninjutsu, the Jashin religion's growth will once again increase your speed!

I wonder if that's enough?"

Qishan didn't speak, his expression still indifferent, but he was a little stunned in his heart.

This guy is really willing to part with it, just taking out the Impure World Reincarnation technique like that?

Is it a case of selling his grandfather's land without feeling the pain, or is he seeking the meaning of life, willing to do anything?

Kabuto probably doesn't value the Cursed Seal technology, after all, even if it's fully developed, it can barely defeat a Jonin.

For true powerhouses, it's just weeding out a large area of weeds.

Although the Impure World Reincarnation technique is magical, the summoned individuals usually require a large amount of chakra and full concentration to control.

Although it can be summoned on a large scale through clever means, it comes at the cost of reduced combat power.

Apart from providing a simple form of immortality, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

For Yakushi Kabuto, what's truly precious should be the Ryūchi Cave summoning scroll and Orochimaru's White Snake cells.

Understanding this, Qishan couldn't help but admire him secretly. This guy is really willing to go all out!

After a few seconds of silence, Qishan directly put away the scroll.

Yakushi Kabuto's lips curled up slightly.

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

"Recently, I will expand the number of Black Gun Knights, striving to expand it to about ten thousand people.

At that time, all command rights can be handed over to you. Then, how will you deliver the fifty thousand devout believers you promised?"

"Please rest assured, Lord Hidan. Lord Orochimaru found a secret place several years ago. Hidden there is a secret force of over one hundred thousand people, all skilled at following orders. Although I can't get command over them, I can influence them from the side, mixing in some insignificant orders, which shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway, what Lord Hidan needs is just for the believers to nominally join the Jashin religion and not betray it, right?"

Qishan looked at Yakushi Kabuto: "You're really perceptive!"

"Where? My meager skills are not worth mentioning compared to Lord Hidan."

Yakushi Kabuto showed his standard smile again.

Qishan looked at this familiar face, feeling slightly emotional in his heart.

What's this all about? If I had known this guy would take the initiative to come to my door, casually handing over the membership applications for fifty thousand White Zetsu, I wouldn't have bothered Uchiha Itachi before.

I could have just found Black Zetsu and stated my position!
