Konoha: I Have a Gravity Training room

If Kakuzu is fixated on money, he will definitely enter the Exchange Shop.

But if the toilet is very, very smelly, Hidan might not necessarily go in.

Shikamaru frowned, then sat cross-legged, forming a strange hand sign at his dantian, as if cultivating.

Everyone was puzzled but was stopped by Asuma, who signaled everyone to keep quiet.

After a good while, Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief, his expression much more relaxed.

Asuma smiled and said: "Shikamaru, have you thought of a way?"

Shikamaru's posture just now was something he habitually did when thinking deeply, which is why Asuma stopped everyone from disturbing him.

Shikamaru nodded: "There is a way. I'll say it, and everyone can help refine it.

First, let's make the toilet even smellier. If Natsuki's guess is correct, Hidan definitely won't go in and will wait outside. The two will naturally separate.

As for us, we'll set up in a certain location, and then have Natsuki use the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Hidan over..."

Kakashi suddenly interjected: "Using the Flying Thunder God Technique is fine, but Hidan must be taken some distance away from the toilet, otherwise Kakuzu is very likely to notice."

After all, Kakuzu is a very formidable guy, so we must be careful enough.

Natsuki thought for a moment and added: "Hidan's Curse Jutsu can perhaps be called a ritual of sacrificing to the jashin he worships. He is very devoted to jashin."

Shikamaru immediately thought of it: "Then let's target this point, lure him away from the toilet, and then have Natsuki ambush him and take him away with the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Saying that, Shikamaru had Natsuki use the Flying Thunder God Technique to contact Tenten and have Tenten send over a longer piece of white cloth.

After the white cloth arrived, Shikamaru took out a pen and wrote a sentence on it.

Everyone's mouths twitched after seeing it: If Hidan truly worships jashin, he'll explode when he sees this sentence!

Afterward, everyone continued to refine the plan, then rested well, and started moving at dawn the next day.

Natsuki continued to flash back to the surveillance location using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

However, unexpectedly, as soon as he returned, he saw Kakuzu carrying a corpse. Clearly, he hadn't been idle last night and had actually gone and killed the target directly.

Hidan complained: "Didn't we just leave the Exchange Shop? Why are we going back again!"

Kakuzu was calm: "This bounty is ten million Ryo, I need to get it quickly.

Besides, that Exchange Shop is close to here, and I don't want to travel far."

Hidan felt speechless: "Bounties, bounties, don't you have any other pursuits?"

Kakuzu nodded: "Only money won't betray you!"

Alright, Hidan was too lazy to say anything more. Anyway, he had nothing else to do. Walking around might allow him to spread his faith, and if not, he could just kill a few people as sacrifices to Lord jashin.

Natsuki saw this, immediately flashed back, and informed everyone of the situation.

Everyone also didn't expect these two to be returning so soon, and Kakuzu was indeed very fixated on money. It seemed their guess was correct.

Kakashi said: "Alright, we are already prepared, so we don't need to wait. Let's proceed according to the plan. Be careful everyone!"

Everyone agreed and then hid according to the plan.

Kakashi was taken by Natsuki to wait near the toilet.

After about three hours, Kakuzu and Hidan returned here step by step.

As soon as they got close to the toilet, Hidan couldn't help but cover his nose and gag.

"Ugh! Why is it even smellier than last time! Why would they set up an Exchange Shop in a place like this!" Hidan complained loudly.

"As long as there's money, whether it's smelly or not doesn't matter." Kakuzu's expression remained unchanged.

"Hmph! I'm not going in to suffer. You go by yourself. I'll wait for you somewhere that smells better!"

"Whatever."

Kakuzu, carrying the corpse, walked into the toilet alone.

Hidan, on the other hand, walked to the upwind side, away from the toilet. Just as he sat down to rest for a bit, he suddenly saw a child walking by holding a piece of white cloth, and the large words on the cloth were clearly visible:

Bullshit jashin! Only an idiot would believe!

This completely enraged Hidan. After all, it was a matter of questioning his faith, how could he pretend not to see it?

"Child, stop right there! Who wrote these words? I'm going to sacrifice him to Lord jashin! And you too, I'll sacrifice you to Lord jashin as well! You all need to atone for your sins!"

Hidan cursed, then directly chased after the child.

But unexpectedly, although the child didn't look big, their speed was astonishingly fast. They ran several miles away, still waving the white cloth in their hand, which made Hidan even more agitated.

Hidan couldn't possibly think that children generally couldn't run that fast.

Just as Hidan was chasing headfirst far away, there was a sudden movement behind him, and Natsuki placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Who... are you?"

As the last word fell, he was already spinning and turning, arriving in an unfamiliar place.

Hidan immediately realized they were enemies and subconsciously swung his Triple-Bladed Scythe, but he swung at empty air, because Natsuki had already disappeared.

While Hidan was still in a daze, a swarm of insects buzzed around and surrounded him, instantly covering him and making him yell in pain from their bites, yet he didn't seem to lose any strength.

Shino, hidden in the dark, shook his head: "This guy's power doesn't seem to be Chakra! My insects can't drain it!"

"If that's the case, then attack!"

Sasuke spoke, and the next second, he was already in front of Hidan, his short sword heading straight for Hidan's head.

But Hidan was no pushover. He swung his Triple-Bladed Scythe rapidly, forcing Sasuke to duck and dodge. Hidan's other hand suddenly drew an iron spear from his waist and lashed out at Sasuke. Sasuke quickly blocked with his short sword but was sent flying by the immense force, sliding a good distance on the ground before stopping.

"Tch! This guy is very fast and very strong!" Sasuke felt his hand was a little numb.

Shino and Neji also appeared, surrounding Hidan on three sides.

Hidan, however, shouldered his Triple-Bladed Scythe and said excitedly: "So you deliberately wrote blasphemous words about Lord jashin just to lure me here.

A bunch of brats, I don't mind sacrificing you to Lord jashin! Come and die!"

Sasuke couldn't be bothered with nonsense and charged forward again, his short sword aimed directly at the enemy's head.

However, as the saying goes, 'an inch longer is an inch stronger.' Hidan's Triple-Bladed Scythe was too long, and coupled with his decent Taijutsu, he seemed completely at ease facing Sasuke's attack.

Seeing this, Neji and Shino also took out their Kunai and rushed forward, but they couldn't get close to Hidan.

Originally, according to the plan, Shino's attack with his insect swarm would have ended it, but they didn't expect the opponent to have almost no Chakra, or rather, their power didn't originate from Chakra, so Shino's attack was naturally ineffective.

Fortunately, Shikamaru had also considered this situation, so no one was surprised.

After a round of exchanges, the four were unexpectedly put on the defensive by Hidan, and Sasuke was even almost cut by the Triple-Bladed Scythe.

"Damn it! A few little mice, you're quite agile. Wouldn't it be better to just become sacrifices?"

Hidan was a bit irritable and was about to increase his efforts when he suddenly felt like he couldn't move.
