Seven days later, today, Shinsuke, who had just come out of the confinement room, was enjoying his lunch.
Today's meal was chicken curry. The taste was pretty good, mainly because the portion was generous, and there was plenty of meat, so he ate happily.
To be fair, ever since he crossed over and stayed in the Cult of Jashin, his life had actually been quite harmonious and fulfilling.
Every day, he diligently trained, drew blood, and cooperated in recording experimental data... Ahem, as long as he got used to these, it was really not bad.
It was certainly much better than those war orphans and refugees who constantly struggled on the brink of death.
At least his life was guaranteed, and he didn't have to worry about food and clothing.
So much so that he once thought that if he could just keep idling away his time like this, it might be pretty good.
After all, as long as he didn't court death too much, he could continue to live like this indefinitely.
Even if aliens really came to attack the Ninja World one day, 'Naruto' and 'Sasuke' would be there to take the brunt of it.
No matter how you looked at it, it wouldn't be his turn!
However, after carefully recalling the information about the Cult of Jashin, he could only sigh slightly, feeling that his idea might be a bit unrealistic.
Although he didn't know when, the ultimate fate of the Cult of Jashin was definitely its annihilation.
Because he vaguely remembered that in one episode of "Naruto Shippuden," there was an idiot who got hold of some remnants of the Cult of Jashin and then foolishly thought he could also gain immortality.
At that time, the Cult of Jashin had long disappeared.
Shinsuke wasn't very clear about how the Cult of Jashin was wiped out. After all, it was a long time ago, and he only vaguely remembered seeing online that everyone in the Cult of Jashin had been sacrificed by Hidan.
It did seem like something Hidan would do. If that day really came, Shinsuke would definitely lend a hand.
By then, the sea would be wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky high enough for birds to fly, equally delightful.
If Master Takigi knew what Shinsuke was thinking at the moment, he would probably choose to grind his bones to ashes immediately!
It was hard enough to cultivate two immortals, and it turned out they were both traitors. Wasn't that a bit too much?
Clang!
A sound was heard.
Shinsuke, who was eating curry and couldn't help but sigh, suddenly looked up.
Oh, a woolly-headed guy~
Hidan, who had just kicked over a stool, was glaring at him angrily!
Clearly, the past few days of treatment and confinement had made Hidan very unhappy and very angry!
Because of that 'tacit' boring match, Master Takigi separated them and put them in confinement, during which they received no less than ten ideological education sessions, fearing they might cause even bigger trouble in the future.
It was also a chance for them to rest, after all, immortality didn't mean they couldn't get injured. At that time, the situation was simply beyond words.
Unfortunately, if Hidan didn't stir up trouble, he wouldn't be Hidan.
Look, just released, he went around asking and hurried to find Shinsuke for trouble.
"Yo, have you eaten? How about sitting down to eat together?"
Shinsuke greeted while speeding up his eating, lest he ended up fighting on an empty stomach.
Yuan Dada had long taught him not to waste food!
"Shinsuke, you bastard! Die!!!"
Hidan drew out his black spear and charged at him, teeth gritted.
Even if it meant more confinement, he didn't care!
Mainly because losing last time was too frustrating!
But as he said this, once they started fighting, Hidan's expression suddenly changed!
Logically, their strength should be on par. At least, every previous duel before confinement ended without either side able to win.
However, this time was completely different!
Hidan's multi-strike attacks with the black spear were all easily dodged by Shinsuke. Moreover, he even had the leisure to quickly finish the remaining curry on his plate during the gaps in Hidan's attacks.
He completely ignored Hidan's attacks!
"Damn it!"
Hidan gritted his teeth and sped up his attacks.
At this moment, Shinsuke, who had been dodging, finally looked up.
Hidan then noticed that there was an 'X'-shaped red 'scar' on Shinsuke's forehead, as if it was stained with blood.
Blood Manipulation: Crimson Scales in Motion!
Bang!
Boom!
After putting down the plate, with just one punch, the unprepared Hidan flew out, embedded into the wall, and uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood. Even the black spear in his hand instantly fell to the ground.
How was this possible?!
Hidan, supporting himself with both hands on the ground, had a look of disbelief in his eyes. He seemed unable to understand why the gap between their strengths had widened so much after just a few days.
Could it be that Master Takigi secretly gave this bastard special training while he was away these past few days?
Seeing Hidan's confusion, Shinsuke calmly said, "My [Blood Manipulation] allows me to freely manipulate elements in my blood, such as body temperature, pulse, and the number of red blood cells."
"And just now, I merely accelerated the flow of my blood to strengthen my body, enhancing my speed and strength."
"In this state, you can't even touch my clothes."
Sliding down the wall, Hidan couldn't believe that such a gap could develop in just a few days, so he gritted his teeth, quickly picked up the black spear, and charged at Shinsuke again without a word.
Seeing this, Shinsuke shook his head. If it were himself a few days ago, he would indeed struggle.
But after experiencing severe blood loss and near death, followed by days of quiet contemplation, he fortuitously discovered a method to enhance himself.
That was, as he mentioned, accelerating blood flow to strengthen the body, enhancing speed and strength.
The principle was somewhat similar to Luffy's Gear Second but with differences.
The cost was significant damage to his body, and frequent use could even shorten his lifespan.
So Hidan simply picked the wrong time to mess with him!
Feeling the power of [Blood Manipulation: Crimson Scales in Motion], Shinsuke decided to give Hidan an unforgettable lesson.
He slightly tilted his head, dodging Hidan's rapidly thrusting black spear, then swung his right fist swiftly like lightning, hitting Hidan's abdomen directly.
Instantly, Hidan felt a surge of pain, his eyes bulged, and he bent over with a cry.
Then Shinsuke's knee swiftly magnified before his eyes...
