Chereads / Naruto's Review : First Viewer is Senju Tobirama? / Chapter 125 - Chapter 125 : Plot Killing!!

Chapter 125 - Chapter 125 : Plot Killing!!

[After obtaining Shikamaru's blood, due to his profession, Hidan began drawing a ritual formation to sacrifice Shikamaru to Jashin-sama, using his blood to perform the Death Possession Blood.

[However, Shikamaru, unharmed, suddenly lunged at Hidan and slashed his throat.

[Shikamaru teasingly informed Hidan that the blood he licked was actually Kakuzu's.

[Kakashi had previously drawn Kakuzu's blood and given it to Shikamaru.

[When Shikamaru was attacked, his blood dripped onto Hidan's weapon.

[Deceived, Hidan could only engage in close combat but was fixed in place by Shikamaru's Shadow Possession Technique.

[In the end, Shikamaru used a bunch of explosive tags to blast Hidan into a deep pit he had already dug, burying him alive.

[According to the original words of the "Naruto" author in the official guidebook: Hidan is still alive, but if he doesn't get any nutrients, he will die. Given how much time has passed, he must be starting to smell by now, haha.

[The phrase "starting to smell" is quite clever—Hidan is truly unfortunate.

"Isn't this immortal body a bit weak?" 

Looking at Hidan, who was buried alive, Orochimaru appeared somewhat disdainful.

"It is a bit weak; his injury recovery speed is too slow, he can't automatically heal his body, and most absurdly, he can starve to death if he doesn't get nutrients."

"Haha, that's hilarious! An immortal body that can die from starvation—what a hell of a joke."

As they watched the video, everyone understood Hidan's information.

To be honest, the combination of immortality and the Death Possession Blood is indeed strong, especially when the enemy is unaware of Hidan's abilities. 

Once he collects their blood, they could end up like Asuma in the video, getting killed by Hidan's counterattack.

However, once they know Hidan's full abilities and plan accordingly, he becomes just a simple fighter who relies on Taijutsu combat.

In a Taijutsu fight, as long as one is careful not to let the opponent collect their blood, they should be fine.

If that doesn't work, using ninjutsu from a distance to keep Hidan at bay is also an option.

Furthermore, if Hidan manages to collect blood, one can still disrupt his formation or pull him out of it, negating the effects of the Death Possession Blood.

"Ultimately, Hidan's combat style is too simplistic."

"Yeah, he can only use Taijutsu combat to collect blood; he doesn't know genjutsu or ninjutsu, so his fighting style is indeed very limited."

"Alright, if you guys encounter Hidan or Kakuzu while on a mission and can't defeat them, remember to run. It's not wise for us to engage the Akatsuki just yet."

Hearing this, Asuma rolled his eyes at the Third Hokage and said, "Old man, we've almost convinced Obito to switch sides. Isn't that a conflict with the Akatsuki?"

"According to Black Zetsu, Obito hasn't officially joined the Akatsuki yet. As long as they don't know, it doesn't count as a conflict. Of course, we shouldn't put all our hopes on that. We need to be prepared for a sudden battle."

As he spoke, the Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru and asked, "Orochimaru, how is the cloning going on your side?"

Orochimaru nodded and replied, "Everything is progressing smoothly, but the first batch of clones is rushed, so their quality and lifespan will be slightly compromised."

"That's fine. Once we deal with the Akatsuki and restore peace to the ninja world, we can clone them into healthy bodies again."

"Understood."

They didn't delve deeper into the topic of cloning. 

It was a sensitive subject.

The plan to clone the bodies of the Fourth Hokage and others was to resurrect them for fighting the Akatsuki and to bring peace to the ninja world.

However, once peace is achieved, should the Third Hokage and other elderly figures consider cloning a body for themselves as a backup? 

If they started doing that, it would essentially grant them a form of immortality.

Is such a violation of the natural laws of life really a good thing?

They didn't know, so they instinctively avoided the discussion.

---

In Tobirama's office, everyone was mocking Hidan's immortality, just like the Third Hokage's group.

"It's so funny; I've never heard of an immortal being starved to death."

"Isn't that kind of low-quality immortality?"

"Just say it; he's not really immortal."

"As a fellow member of the Zombie duo, I feel that Kakuzu's immortality is better than Hidan's. At least Kakuzu can use the five elemental ninjutsu, and each heart can turn into a clone to fight. Hidan just acts like a fool."

"That's different. If Kakuzu loses all five hearts, he dies, but if Hidan loses a heart, he won't."

"So, he can only die from starvation, right?"

"Ha, it seems this joke isn't going to work out, haha."

Senju Tobirama didn't join in the laughter aimed at Hidan. However, from the slight smirk on his face, it was clear he found Hidan's immortality quite distasteful.

"I wonder if this immortality can be improved," he thought.

Dislike aside, immortality was still a pretty useful ability.

If given the chance, he wanted to study Hidan to see if he could replicate that ability.

[In conclusion, Hidan, who can easily reveal his immortality even in life-and-death situations, is truly worthless.]

[Being mocked by Shikamaru as a fool who just shouts is not wrong at all.]

[Looking at his strength, it's hard to judge Hidan's taijutsu.]

[Because of his immortality, he always adopts a strategy of trading injuries during battle.]

[Hidan's taijutsu score is the same as Asuma's, both at nine points, yet Asuma assisted by Shikamaru easily overpowers him, which is clearly strange.]

[Without his immortality, Hidan would probably have been burned to death by Asuma's Fire Release.]

[Hidan's special ability is somewhat overestimated; although his immortality passively saves him, his healing ability has a low limit.]

[His killing ability using the Death Possession Blood is impressive within the range of the jutsu, but once he leaves that range, any damage taken could leave scars.]

[From this perspective, I believe he is the man who elevates the Plot killing.]

[With a set speed of seven and a taijutsu of nine, Hidan, who faces Shikamaru with a speed of five and taijutsu of four, surprisingly fails to notice that his weapon has been stained with the enemy's blood.]

[Honestly, this battle really doesn't follow the basic rules; it can only be attributed to Plot killing.]

"Plot killing, huh? It seems that 'Naruto' isn't very rigorous," Tobirama remarked.

Having watched many character summaries, everyone had seen the so-called Plot killing several times.

The first instance was certainly with Senju Tobirama.

Just like he said, he was foolishly unprepared, heading directly to the Land of Lightning with six disciples to sign a contract—truly a display of lowered intelligence.

Senju Tobirama: Ah, the past is hard to look back on!
