That day, the doctor asked me as he was feeling my stomach, "Do you feel anything here?"
I said I felt someone touching my stomach.
And...
Don't touch randomly; it could tear the intestines.
Though the process was tough, the result was quite good in the end.
The scissors were found, indeed inside the stomach.
And the stomach was also stitched up. This time, nothing was left inside, fortunately!
So this matter passed...
Or so it seemed!
After only a day of rest, with his body still wrapped in bandages, Hidan began to ponder deeply with his rarely used brain.
But exacting revenge wasn't so easy, because...
He couldn't defeat that bastard!
It was really quite disheartening, damn it!
Then Shinsuke pushed the door open and startled him, genuinely making him twitch in surprise, a kind of dull twitch.
It was as if you were hiding in your room, secretly doing bad things on the computer, and suddenly your parents walked in...
You can imagine that scene.
"Damn Shinsuke! What are you doing here? I don't want to see you right now."
"Don't be nervous. I came to apologize this time, and I'm very sincere!" Shinsuke said confidently. If you ignore the bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe in his hand, Hidan might have believed him for a moment.
But right now, Hidan was more inclined to believe that this guy was here to seek revenge!
After all, who brings a weapon to visit a patient and apologize?!
Seeing that Hidan was skeptical, Shinsuke became a bit agitated and immediately raised the Triple-Bladed Scythe. "How about this weapon?"
At that moment, the longest blade was only a few centimeters away from Hidan's neck. Faced with such an undisguised 'threat,' Hidan could only force out a faint smile. "It's good, very good."
"So, do you want it?"
"No, I don't want it... Ah!"
Hidan let out a reflexive cry as the blade's tip pricked his neck.
"Sorry, my hand slipped. What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly. Please say it again."
"I don't want it... Ah! Shinsuke, you bastard, what are you trying to do?" Hidan pushed the Triple-Bladed Scythe away and glared furiously at him.
"This amazing weapon, why don't you want it?"
"Stop it! You're just trying to mess with me. Do you think I'd want it if I said I did?"
"Oh, I'm giving it to you."
"I knew you... Huh? Really giving it to me?"
Hidan clumsily caught the Triple-Bladed Scythe that Shinsuke threw to him, looking bewildered.
"This Triple-Bladed Scythe is specially designed for you. The three different lengths of the blades make it more difficult for enemies to defend against, allowing you to easily harm them and complete the ritual. The ring at the end of the handle can be used to wrap a rope for long-range attacks, compensating for your lack of long-range weaponry and also providing a surprise effect in battle."
Looking at Shinsuke seriously explaining, Hidan was momentarily at a loss, his hands gently stroking the fierce weapon that had almost killed him yesterday.
After Shinsuke finished the introduction, Hidan couldn't help but ask, "Is it really for me? Isn't this the weapon you made for yourself?"
It wasn't a secret that Shinsuke had requested a weapon from the master of Takigi. Hidan knew this but never expected Shinsuke would make a weapon for him.
Could this be possible?
Shinsuke shrugged casually, "I already have a Executioner's Blade, so I don't need other weapons for now."
Hidan was silent, staring at the Triple-Bladed Scythe while his mind began to recall some scenes from the Land of Waves.
"I found that more straightforward weapons suit me better. Whether it's kunai or a black spear, their lethality is too low."
"So, what kind of weapon do you want?"
"Of course, this one! (Watermelon knife)"
"Uh, I think you should consider how to more simply and conveniently obtain the enemy's blood."
"Why? If I slash down with one hit and kill the person, do I need to collect blood?!"
"In the future... Ah, never mind."
...
"So you've been holding onto that..."
"Tch, such a strange weapon, I don't want it."
Hidan mumbled a few words of no clear meaning, which only he understood, and then began to swing the Triple-Bladed Scythe excitedly like a child with a new toy.
As for the previous neglect and injuries...
Hmph, Hidan, being a generous person, won't hold a grudge against Shinsuke.
Shinsuke didn't disturb him, just wanting to be a quiet, handsome guy while checking the system notifications.

Seeing the rewards he had earned, Shinsuke's mood was instantly joyful.
All the preparations had been worth it.
Neglect, stimulation, annoyance, and then a surprise!
The set of techniques he learned from his sea king older brother really proved useful.
The identity of a high-class rich man, the degree from an overseas prestigious university, and that set of multimillion-dollar villas had nothing to do with it!
Those comments were just blackening him, and luckily he didn't believe them.
After completing Phase Two of the task, Phase Three was naturally unlocked.
The bond value requirement increased from five hundred to one thousand. It seemed like a small increase, but the difficulty had doubled.
It's like a hundred-point advanced math exam—scoring sixty is easy, ninety is very hard, and achieving a hundred... that's quite a feat! (Those who are top students at Peking University, please ignore this line)
But facing the rewards given by the system, no matter how difficult the task, it had to be tackled.
The ten thousand Cursed Soul Value he urgently needed was one thing, but the[Domain Construction Scroll]was enough to spark imagination!
If it was what he guessed...
Hidan, from now on, you'll be Daddy's good son!
Daddy will take care of you for life!
"How's it? Is it handy?"
"Tch, it's just so-so. But Master Hidan will reluctantly accept it. If there's nothing else, you can leave." Hidan said insincerely. In fact, he was very pleased, as evidenced by the bond value increase earlier.
Shinsuke didn't expose him, turned, and left, eager to move on to the next step.
