Devil Fruit Seal in Naruto

"Wait, let me catch my breath."

Hidan's mind was a bit overwhelmed. Scratching his head, he looked at Uchiha Raizen.

"You mean, you didn't refuse to join the Jashin Cult?"

"Of course not."

"Then why did you make that look like you looked down on it when I was talking about the doctrine? You clearly showed disrespect to Jashin-sama!"

Angrily, Hidan raised his scythe again.

Uchiha Raizen calmly replied, "If you recklessly kill someone who might join the cult, Jashin-sama will only get angrier."

Hidan's scythe stopped again. After grimacing for a moment, he finally lowered the weapon.

He thought Uchiha Raizen might be playing tricks on him, but he couldn't find any fault in the words.

Damn it, this was the first time he stopped halfway through killing someone.

Hidan said fiercely, "Then let's go. Come with me to the Jashin Cult headquarters. If you dare refuse to join, I will tear you into pieces!"

Watching Hidan lead the way ahead, Uchiha Raizen smirked.

Dealing with Hidan was much easier than dealing with Kakuzu. Probably no idiot from his previous life would accept Hidan.

They reached the Jashin Cult headquarters — a terrifying Cult filled with the smell of blood.

The Cult was surrounded by crosses stuck into the ground.

On each cross hung a corpse, nailed and left hanging there.

There were bodies of men and women, old and young, even babies not yet a month old and heavily pregnant women, all left exposed in the wilderness, their deaths cruel and tragic.

Uchiha Raizen's face was calm, as if he didn't see the hellish scene before him.

In his mind, he recalled the map of the Land of Hot Water he had bought earlier, realizing this place seemed not far from the Hot Water Ninja Village.

"Hidan, you're back. How many sacrifices did you offer to Jashin-sama today?"

Three figures emerged from the Cult, all wearing white robes and glasses, looking very refined.

"Well, not many today. Five people, no, maybe six... or wait, how many was it?" Hidan scratched the back of his head.

The middle-aged man leading them said, "Hidan, offering sacrifices to Jashin-sama requires the purest devotion. You are the only one among our many test subjects who successfully gained immortality, mastering the cursed forbidden technique Death Possession Blood. From now on, the growth of Jashin Cult depends on you."

Hidan loudly declared, "Don't worry, sooner or later, I'll spread Jashinism across the whole world! Oh, and I brought back a new member who wants to join."

The middle-aged man looked at Uchiha Raizen behind Hidan, examined him briefly, then waved indifferently: 

"He looks fine. Come on over; we'll start the human experiment."

All members of Jashin Cult had to undergo human experiments related to the immortality surgery. These few were the researchers conducting the experiments.

The death rate for these experiments was very high. So far, only Hidan had survived and gained the immortal trait.

Uchiha Raizen walked toward the middle-aged man and casually asked, "Is this the entire cult?"

The man frowned slightly and coldly replied, "Only those with the purest devotion to Jashin-sama survive. You're no different."

"I see." Uchiha Raizen nodded and stopped walking. "Then your cult is pretty weak. How about this — you all join my cult instead."

"Your cult?"

The middle-aged man froze, unable to react.

Hidan suddenly slammed his scythe out and shouted, "You bastard, I knew you didn't truly want to join the Jashin Cult! I told you I'd tear you to pieces!"

He swung the scythe toward Uchiha Raizen for the third time, and this time he didn't stop halfway.

However, the scythe hit Raizen's body with a sharp clang — it didn't even cut through the skin.

Hidan's eyes widened in shock.

What's going on? How is this guy's body so tough?

The three middle-aged men snapped back to their senses and all drew their weapons to attack Raizen.

"How dare you provoke the Jashin Cult, you reckless brat!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Poison needles and explosive tags all failed to break through Raizen's defense.

Now not only was Hidan stunned, but the three men were all dumbfounded as well.

"I told you the Jashin Cult is useless, right? How about joining my group instead? My organization doesn't need to lick anyone's blood."

Raizen's expression remained calm and unchanged the entire time.

"Y-Your organization? What organization is that?" The middle-aged man's voice trembled involuntarily.

"My organization is called the Barabara Cult. It means 'split into pieces.' In other words, you all need to be torn apart."

As Raizen spoke calmly, he stretched out his hand.

Blue dragon scales spread from his shoulder down to his palm.

When Raizen grabbed the middle-aged man, his long palm had completely turned into sharp dragon claws.

"Let me go! What nonsense is this? The Jashin Cult will punish you!" the middle-aged man shouted desperately.

But immediately, the shouting turned into a piercing scream, because one of his arms was torn off alive.

Blood spurted out, steaming hot.

"One."

Uchiha Raizen counted the numbers.

"Two."

He tore off the middle-aged man's other arm.

"Three."

"Four."

"Five."

When he reached five, the middle-aged man's head was twisted off and thrown into the weeds like a ball. His body was literally torn to pieces.

Uchiha Raizen clapped his hands with satisfaction and looked at the remaining two:

"How is it? The initiation ceremony of the Barabara Cult looks good, doesn't it?"

The two were horrified, as if they had seen a ghost. Their pants were soaked — they were so scared they had peed themselves.

They were excited and cruel when nailing babies and pregnant women to the cross, but now it was their turn to suffer like this. 

What kind of Jashin's followers were they? 

Just a bunch of worms satisfying their own dark desires!

Uchiha Raizen's face turned icy cold. Imitating the same method, he tore these two evil cult researchers into pieces as well.

The terrifying screams echoed through the land.

Finally,

He turned his gaze to Hidan.

Hidan shivered. This person was so evil — even more evil than him!

He instinctively took a few steps back.

"No way, I'm immortal, what's there to be afraid of?"

Thinking of his immortality, Hidan immediately gained confidence and shouted, "The Jashin cult is the greatest! No matter if you tear me apart, I'm not scared!"

"Is that so?"

Uchiha Raizen said nothing, calmly walking towards Hidan.

Feeling humiliated, Hidan flew into a rage and swung his scythe fiercely down at Uchiha Raizen.

This time, he refused to believe he wouldn't draw blood. As long as there was blood, he could make Raizen understand fear and pain!

But unfortunately,

His scythe was caught by a cold, sharp dragon claw.

With a bit of force, the hard scythe was crushed.

At the same time,

Another dragon claw grabbed Hidan's neck.

"Bastard, let me go!"

Hidan struggled, but it was useless.

Though he had immortality, his physical strength was still that of a normal person.

Usually relying on body techniques to slash and lick blood, Uchiha Raizen's dragon scale defense was his biggest weakness.

Seeing he couldn't break free, Hidan gave up and sneered,

"Go ahead, break my neck! Come on!"

Uchiha Raizen showed no expression.

The tip of the dragon claw pierced Hidan's neck, and bright red blood flowed out.

Hidan laughed even louder, "Awesome, too awesome! If you want to kill me, just try!"

But then, Uchiha Raizen's dragon claw loosened its grip, and the dragon scales faded away, returning to normal.

Hidan fell to the ground, still arrogant and proud: 

"Give up. I am blessed by Jashin and cannot die, you bastard!"

He tried to get up and attack Uchiha Raizen again.

But halfway up, his body suddenly stopped moving, as if something was holding him tight.

Five bloody holes appeared on his neck where the dragon claw had pierced, turning into black comma-shaped marks, spreading black lines that quickly covered Hidan's whole body.
