Red sand dust

Ever since he was captured by Daimaru before he could escape in time during the attack on Sunagakure Village, this immortal believer of the evil god has been kept in a "reincarnation room" isolated from the outside world.

At first, Hidan was quite energetic, cursing all day long, and couldn't stop even when he was alone.

Until later, he gradually began to languish, even if Daimaru did not mess with his diet. It seemed that during the "reincarnation", he lost the channel to replenish a certain kind of special "energy", and gradually became weak, even the so-called immortal His body is of no use.

After his physical strength and chakra levels dropped to a certain level, Hidan began to fall asleep, which became more and more serious. After a rest, he never woke up again.

After examination, Daimaru understood that this evil god believer did not die, but used a method similar to hibernation to reduce the body's consumption to an extremely low level, and finally managed to survive until now.

"It's almost like a scavenger out of water, except Hidan's life-saving ability is a little better..."

Daimaru judged this.

After checking and finding nothing wrong with his body, Daimaru transferred Hidan to the ninja world.

Under Daimaru's advice, although Otsutsuki Toneri was not very sad about Hidan, he still protected his body from accidental harm.

After coming out of the reincarnation space, it was like a long drought followed by rain. Hidan's body came back to life at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he woke up in less than half a day.

However, when he woke up, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the environment around Daimaru and his back, as well as the several White Zetsus used to defeat him.

"It turns out that you also surrendered to the organization, so you let me out? You are wise..."

The cold Konan, as if looking at a fool, glanced at Hidan who had just recovered, and left calmly.

"Although this is the Akatsuki organization, but..."

Daimaru chuckled,

"I've been away from the ninja world for so long, I feel like I'm falling behind!"

"What's wrong?"

Hidan moved his somewhat stiff limbs and neck and asked strangely,

"Why isn't the leader here? By the way, what's that weird big tree over there for?"

"Wait a minute...you'll know!"

As Daimaru spoke, he took out a ferocious demon mask, and Hidan took it instinctively.

"Put it on, there will be a surprise!"

Hidan looked over and over several times, but found nothing unusual. He put the mask on his face and said frivolously:

"What's the use of this thing? Is the organization going underground and operating secretly?"

Wearing a mask does not do much good in promoting the evil god's reputation, but it is not a hindrance.

Daimaru, who smiled and said nothing, shook his wrist slightly, and the secret technique Star Puppet Thread trapped Hidan's hands and feet, completely controlling his movements.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

He used his hands and feet together and twisted his body, as if he was dancing an inappropriate part of a sacrificial dance. He seemed to sense something was wrong and shouted loudly.

However, Daimaru ignored him. Half a minute later, Hidan, who was being used as a sacrifice, was grabbed by the arm. A terrible pressure came from behind, causing him to start talking involuntarily. A dark ghost figure, He was looking at him eagerly above his head, with a huge Death Blade in his mouth, and his gloomy eyes looking down.

"What the hell is this?"

The imminent danger of death made Hidan hurriedly start struggling, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Daimaru said with a smile:

"Don't you keep saying that you want to spread Lord Evil God's faith? In fact..."

Daimaru paused, his tone full of temptation, and leaned closer to explain:

"No matter how pious you are and how hard you work to promote the greatness of the evil god, it's still not as good as killing another evil god with your own hands, right?"

"Nonsense, Lord Evil God is unique..."

"Then...just prove it to me!"

Daimaru said, lightly tapping his fingers, Hidan raised his right hand, holding the black spear, and stabbed towards his chest, with a swoosh, the sound of the sharp blade cutting through the flesh, accompanied by the splash of blood. And spread.

At the same time, the shadow of the God of Death appeared behind Hidan. Without hesitation, he used the Death Blade in his hand to cut a large hole in his heart, which was still stirring like Hidan.

Instinctively aware of the crisis of life and death, the shadow of the God of Death also roared silently, as if it was really hit hard by his own weapon.

Later, Hidan opened a hole for himself, smiling evilly as if nothing happened, as if he was not the one being penetrated through the left chest.

As for the God of Death, whose self-will was hard to tell, he was even more indifferent to the injury that scratched half of his chest.

"Interesting! I thought it was a coincidence the first time, but it was a bit unusual the second time!"

Pouting his lips playfully, Daimaru looked at the shadow of the god of death, which still showed no obvious characteristics of an intelligent creature. It seemed that his movements had sped up a lot, and he had taken more urgent actions.

After completing this nearly suicidal stabbing, Hidan glared at Daimaru with bared teeth and said viciously:

"You idiot, what are you doing? I am your senior in the organization!"

The nearly infinite vitality and immortal body brought extremely powerful power to Hidan, but it was not completely without cost, at least the pain that penetrated deep into the soul could not be faked.

Death will definitely not be so easy, but the physical pain will not be less at all!

After completing this meaningless blow, the Death God Shadow was no longer polite. He stretched out his big hand and penetrated Hidan's body, groping like a probing. After a few seconds, he seemed to have grasped some key, and then began to move toward Hidan. Pull out.

At this critical moment of life and death, Hidan realized something was wrong and had a horrified expression on his face.

"What's this?"

The threat of death is different from the despair of dying when the enemy was killed with blood and sacrificed in the past.

Really gonna die!

This was true. The survival instinct of living things was reminding Hidan, who was originally careless, that if he continued like this, he would really die.

From Daimaru's perspective, the God of Death seemed to be wrestling with some obstacle against some existence.

After a moment of confrontation, the Shinigami, who had the home advantage, withdrew from Hidan's body, holding something strange in his sharp claws.

It didn't look like Hidan's soul, but a part of something huge.

If you look carefully, you can roughly tell that the arm, which is not much smaller than an adult, is obviously the limb of some monster that is not easy to mess with.

At a rough glance, the inexplicable creature snatched from Hidan's body by the Shinigami might be even taller than the Shinigami.

With Daimaru's careful preparation, Daimaru, who had long expected this situation, manipulated the barrier here and let the roots controlled by the sacred tree trap the two entangled arms.

The roots of the sacred tree, which possesses magical power, wrap up most of the almost invisible, completely invisible God of Death, constantly absorbing chakra and some more fundamental core power.

In addition, the roots of the sacred tree instinctively followed the pulled out half of the arm and penetrated Hidan's body, as if wanting to gain more benefits through this strange contact.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the roots of the sacred tree to use the channeling skills of countless spaces and hands to directly connect with a certain obscure will, and continuously absorb the mighty chakra.

Two powerful beings, the god of death summoned by Daimaru, and the evil god who was manipulating the situation behind the scenes collided head-on.

Daimaru, who originally wanted to make a profit as a fisherman, had long ago asked the sacred tree to use the two beings as a huge source of chakra that could be used.

No matter what kind of creature, no matter how magical the power is, in the eyes of the sacred tree, which is not taboo about meat and vegetables, they are just desserts with different tastes.

Walking in, Daimaru patted the ashen-faced Hidan on the shoulder.

"Brother, I can't do anything to you with your immortality! It's just that burning you to ashes seems a bit unworthy. It just so happens that it's a good thing to test the limits of your immortality... …”

Like Shikamaru, cut Hidan into eight pieces, bury him hundreds of meters underground, and let him starve to death?

Rather than spending huge amounts of manpower and material resources to do such boring things, it would be better to do what we do now. Borrow some chakra directly from the God of Death and Evil God behind you.

Why are you dedicated to the growth of the fruits of the sacred tree? How glorious!

So far, the plan seems to be going quite smoothly.

A ball of white light floated over from the flower bone of the sacred tree, wrapped Hidan, and sank into the other half of the evil god's body. The attitude of wanting chakra rather than life really made the well-informed "partners" feel a little a little bit. Lots of emotion.

As for the God of Death and the Evil God, no one knows how much they have, how long they can absorb from the Divine Tree, and how much energy they can make up for in the Divine Tree's fruit.

"I can only find these two to be worthy of the name of 'gods'. I hope you can support one more!"

The power of ninja has been developed for thousands of years, and there are not many "monsters" who are truly as powerful as gods and gods.

The power of the evil god, the god of death, and the pure land should be able to greatly increase the growth of the sacred tree.

Next step, where to plunder chakra?

Daimaru finally understood why he had to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi with the God of Tree World to gain the power of the entire ninja world when he became the Ten-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

To put it bluntly, the Ten-Tails in the heretic demon state is almost in a stage of extreme lack of energy. Even if all nine tailed beasts are sealed, they cannot fully exert the strength of the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki.

After setting up the protective barrier and seeing that there would be no results for a while, Daimaru officially returned to Konoha Village and prepared to say goodbye to Konoha Village.

…

There was no reluctant parting. Kurama Yakumo and Hinata Neji, who really had a deep entanglement, had already given their instructions and there was no need to waste time on pretentiousness.

At the Hokage's house, Daimaru spent this time taking care of the affairs of the "Rescue Team" and gave a complete report to Tsunade.

Nominally, these cross-ninja village organizations are only responsible for the Five Shadows Conference. However, the Five Shadows Conference, which only talks about major affairs, cannot be held frequently. Some Hyuga affairs must be managed by individuals.

The Hokage, who was very close at hand, was of course the best candidate.

"My previous cooperation with the Sixth Generation went smoothly! Of course, it doesn't mean that you are difficult to work with, it's just..."

Daimaru grinned,

"Personally, the person 'Darkness of the Ninja World' might be easier to deal with..."

"It's better to coerce and induce!" 』

Tsunade mentally spat inwardly.

The more lofty and lofty the so-called great ideals are, the more they seek, and the more clearly their thinking patterns can be understood.

Once your emotions are grasped by those around you, you can easily be manipulated.

This is also true. At least during the few months when Shimura Danzo was in power, the relationship between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village was almost the hottest since the establishment of the Five Ninja Villages.

Because the ninjutsu systems of the two villages follow different models, the complementarity is still very strong, and there are references in many fields. However, the past situation has left Suna Ninja and Konoha Ninja with almost no basis for sincere cooperation.

As a result, after Danzo Shimura, who pursued the toughest policy, came to power, he actually had a fierce fight with Suna Ninja, which was really surprising.

Of course, many Konoha ninjas and Suna ninjas are happy to see this change.

but……

"It's only right that the Sand Ninja and the Konoha Ninja can resolve their past grudges and maintain a good relationship, but..."

Tsunade glanced at Daimaru who was smirking, and after twitching the corners of her mouth a few times, she said,

"In terms of intelligence sharing, cooperation must also be strengthened..."

"Um?"

Daimaru raised his eyebrows and asked unexpectedly

"I wonder what Hokage-sama is referring to?"

Tsunade asked bluntly:

"The ninja Toneri of your village is suspected of being a spy. Due to the alliance between us, he did not take the initiative to expose it. I wonder what you Suna ninja want from the Hyuga family?"

"That guy..."

Knowing that it was that guy who showed off his flaws, Daimaru felt a little amused and replied preparedly,

"You may have misunderstood! The Suna ninja named 'Toneri' is also an unpleasant guy in our Sand Hidden Village. Fortunately, for some special reasons, he lives in seclusion, is not known to outsiders, and has not offended many people! "

"Oh? He sounds like a very interesting guy. Why would he act in such a misleading way?"

You have to check carefully to see if it's a misunderstanding. Verbally, Tsunade is still very considerate.

Daimaru replied slightly relaxedly:

"It happened from an accident! More than two years ago, the ninjas from Guicun went to the Kingdom of Wind to help our sand ninja fight against the drought and locust plague. Among them was Hinata Hinata. That guy Toneri accidentally saw her appearance and was shocked. Tianren, I have always thought of him! Originally, the garrison ninja who came to Konoha Village for rotation this time did not sacrifice his life. I don’t know what route he took, but he accidentally came here..."

"Huh?"

It was an unexpected answer. Tsunade once again recalled the details in the intelligence. It was indeed only when Toneri appeared in the Hyuga clan that his flaws were exposed.

If Daimaru was telling the truth, then this might really be a misunderstanding.

However, the investigation mission has been arranged, and how to deal with the aftermath is also a problem.

He took a deep breath, pressed his sore temples, and said calmly:

"Zhimu Shaoai, this is indeed a possibility! We will verify it. If it is really a misunderstanding, we in Konoha Village will forgive us for being rude!"
