Chapter 304: Chapter 316 : Declaring War!!
Ah~~
The scream echoed through the bustling street, attracting a crowd.
However, no one pleaded for the cultist from the Jashin Cult. Some even spat on him, their eyes filled with the satisfaction of revenge.
The Jashin Cult had been rampant for too long, and the people of the Land of Hot Water were eager to wipe them out!
The scream lasted for a full quarter of an hour, before the cultist seemed to break free from the illusion created by Shishui.
He didn't hesitate, didn't struggle—he bit his tongue and ended his life in an instant!
Blood spilled from his mouth.
But as he fell, there was a look of relief on his face.
The illusion was more real than reality itself. In it, he had endured ten days and nights of torment, and the pain of his soul was a hundred times worse than that of his body!
Now, he was finally free.
Even so, it felt as though his soul still ached, still trembled, his body twitching.
In the end, he closed his eyes with satisfaction—freedom, release!
"I made him experience seven rounds of slow torture and ten rounds of burning and scorching in the illusion before he finally found relief!" Shishui walked over and reported to Genya.
It wasn't that the man broke free from the illusion, but rather, Shishui had released his mental energy, allowing him to end it himself!
Otherwise, Shishui could have kept him trapped in the illusion for a year, or even longer. But since he was just a cultist from Jashin Cult, Shishui didn't need to go all out with his ultimate punishment.
Nevertheless, the fifteen minutes of torment in the illusion was enough to break the mind of an ordinary person.
It's a pity that the cultist didn't know this—despite his death and his soul moving on to a peaceful afterlife, the pain of his soul would continue to torment him for a long time.
"Very good, very good!" Genya nodded, clearly pleased with Shishui's work.
Genjutsu, punishment, this method of punishment made him realize a different side of Shisui. It seems that over this period of time, Shisui has truly changed.
"Thank you, thank you for saving us, thank you, thank you!" After everything was handled, the mother and daughter dared to approach Genya and the others to express their gratitude, their faces full of appreciation.
If it weren't for these people in front of them, they would already be toys of Jashin Cult.
"You don't need to thank me," Genya said with a righteous tone. "The purpose of Atsukara is to maintain peace in the Shinobi World. An organization like the Jashin Cult, which causes chaos, is destined to be destroyed!"
He continued, "Hmph, those who do evil are also destined to die. That's why we're here!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for everyone around to hear.
Since Atsukara had already entered the world, they might as well start making a name for themselves!
When you're out and about, your reputation is built by your own actions. If you don't speak up, how will others know of your good deeds?
His goal this time was also to deal with Jashin Cult and Hidan, and of course, to help the common people of the Land of Hot Water.
"Atsukara?"
"Maintaining peace in the Shinobi World?"
"Destroying the Jashin Cult?"
"Atsukara? Sounds like a good group!"
"They're probably like the Uchiha Merchant Association, working for the peace of the entire Shinobi World!"
"The Uchiha Merchant Association is a good group~~ Didn't expect a new organization to appear. The Shinobi World still has many good people!"
"It seems this mother and daughter are saved!"
People listened to Genya as he talked about Atsukara, and murmurs began to spread through the crowd.
"Atsukara? Maintaining peace in the ninja world?"
Among the crowd, a man with a slightly tipsy face, upon hearing Genya mention maintaining peace in the ninja world, suddenly brightened.
His eyes focused seriously on the two individuals in the crowd wearing zodiac masks, observing them closely, carefully scrutinizing.
Maintaining peace in the ninja world?
There was a faint feeling in his heart, a sense that these two people, or perhaps Atsukara, had the power to change the ninja world.
"Atsukara?" He murmured the name of the organization. Having traveled the world, he had learned of many things.
The news of Atsukara seemed to have spread after a Wood Style ninja suddenly appeared a year ago, claiming to be a member of Atsukara. From that day on, the organization gained fame.
The name of the Wood Ox also spread throughout the ninja world.
He had even made a special trip to the area near the Bounty Station to see the Wood Ox's masterpiece—a towering tree hundreds of meters tall, which left a deep impression.
Now, two more members of Atsukara had appeared, and they had declared war on Jashin Cult as soon as they arrived.
This made him view Genya with even more seriousness.
His travels through the ninja world were meant to find someone who could change the major structure of the ninja world, as foretold by the Great Toad Sage.
But... the small person in front of him gave off a special feeling, a sense that he could be the one to alter the ninja world's fate?
Though he thought this, he still smiled and shook his head. It seemed that after so many years of searching for the "Child of Prophecy" from the Great Toad Sage's prediction, he had become a little delusional.
At this moment,
He still believed that the one capable of changing the future of the ninja world was his new disciple, Nagato!
Nagato had an unshakable sense of justice, terrifying talent, and those special eyes!
If anyone could change the ninja world, it was Nagato, the one with the most power and the best chance.
"Two benefactors, you should leave quickly. Jashin Cult has very strong members, especially one who is immortal—Hidan! He's very strong, very strong!" the worried mother said.
She said this for the sake of Genya and the others. In their eyes, Jashin Cult was a formidable force, an existence that they couldn't hope to overcome.
Genya and the others had offended the Jashin Cult, and their end would not be good!
"Heh... We're leaving, but what about you? Aren't you afraid of Jashin Cult retaliating against you?" Genya asked with a smile, seemingly teasing them.
"I... I can go to the Uchiha Merchants' Association at the village outpost and seek their protection. They will protect us!" The woman quickly responded, urging Genya and the others to leave immediately.
Others seemed to have thought of this as well and began to persuade them.
They didn't want anything bad to happen to these kind-hearted people.
"Are you planning to stay under the protection of the association forever, not leaving?" Genya smiled slightly, continuing, "Coincidentally, Atsukara has some connections with the Uchiha Merchants' Association. I can help them solve this problem!"
Genya clearly had no intention of leaving. When he spoke of destroying the Jashin Cult, it was as if he could wipe them out with ease at any moment.
"Heh... You have connections with the Uchiha Merchants' Association? Let me see." Just as Genya spoke, a cold voice came from outside the crowd, "Such a small matter, it won't trouble you. Our association will naturally demand an explanation from Jashin Cult. They're right. You should hurry and leave!"
There was a hint of anger in the tone!
The Uchiha Clan wasn't a force that just anyone could provoke. This was about their dignity.
Jashin Cult would have to answer to them!
However, when the Uchiha Clan member walked in and saw Shisui and Genya, both wearing masks, he stopped his words immediately.
