Uchiha Jinsuke bowed slightly, not yet saying anything, but Hidan frowned and shouted,
"Hey, you, when did you get there?"
Uchiha Jinsuke glared at Hidan coldly, "I've been here all along."
He used a high-level illusion on Hidan, making him subconsciously ignore him, as if he were standing in a blind spot.
The Uchiha Clan has accumulated thousands of years of such illusions, many of which sound impressive but are actually not very useful.
"Shisui, begin."
Orochimaru ignored the two's argument and gave the order to Shisui directly.
Shisui nodded, his eyes focused, three tomoe intertwined into a four-bladed shuriken pattern.
Hidan sensed a strong Chakra reaction beside him, and was shocked. He turned to look at Shisui, "You, what…"
Before he could finish speaking, his body was frozen in place.
The two faced each other, red eyes reflected in Hidan's eyes. He was shocked and angry, and before his consciousness stopped, he shouted in his heart, "Another illusion?"
Uchiha Jinsuke was also surprised, "Your eyes, they've recovered?"
Shisui nodded and turned to look at Orochimaru, "My eye power has controlled his brain. What kind of state should I change him to?"
Unlike ordinary illusions, 'Kotoamatsukami' can physically affect a person's brain nerves. Even after the eye power is withdrawn, the changed will will not return, so it is said to be the strongest illusion.
Orochimaru licked his lips and said slowly, "Make him offer loyalty and obey me."
Shisui thought about it carefully and found it made sense.
Hidan is a madman. Even if he is loyal to Konoha, it will be useless. He might even think that everyone should believe in Jashin Cult and gain immortality for the sake of the village.
A madman's loyalty is something not everyone can accept.
Red light flashed in his eyes, and Shisui slowly said, "You are Orochimaru-sama's subordinate, and you unconditionally obey Orochimaru-sama's commands."
Hidan's eyes fluctuated violently, resisting this 'thought imprint', but Shisui immediately increased his eye power, blood tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, strengthening the control effect.
After a long while, Hidan lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I am Orochimaru-sama's follower, and I unconditionally obey Orochimaru-sama's commands."
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, clearly hearing a subtle difference in what the two said, he asked, "Is this a success or a failure?"
Shisui did not answer, directly closed Mangekyo Sharingan, covered his eyes with his hands, and began to pant heavily.
After a long time, he spoke, his tone somewhat confused, "Although there are some deviations, it should be successful. His personal will is very strong, and modifying it consumed much more eye power than expected."
Shisui even felt that if he hadn't undergone the body strengthening surgery today, and his eye power had increased slightly, the use of 'Kotoamatsukami' would have had more problems.
This was his first time using the Mangekyo Sharingan's eye technique, and the result made Shisui feel vigilant, resolving to try not to use it again.
After carefully sensing for a moment, Shisui said, "At least within five years, I won't be able to activate 'Kotoamatsukami' again."
Not only that, but his newly recovered vision also had a slight decrease. Fortunately, his body should recover from this level quickly.
Orochimaru nodded, waited in place for a while, and then woke up Hidan.
The guy jumped up and cursed at Uchiha Jinsuke, "You, you used an illusion to make fun of me again..."
Before he could finish speaking, his gaze caught sight of Orochimaru. The usually arrogant Hidan became a bit more proper, looking somewhat awkward, "Orochimaru-sama, you're here too..."
He doesn't remember Shisui using an illusion on him?
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and probed without showing any emotion, "What are you doing here so late?"
Hidan scratched his head awkwardly, "Wasn't I trying to persuade people to believe in Orochimaru-sama..."
"Believe in me?"
Orochimaru raised an eyebrow. This was truly strange. He originally thought that after Hidan was modified, he would abandon his belief in the evil god and obey his commands, or put his belief in second place.
But the two merged into one, and he was believed in by the guy Hidan, tsk tsk…
After a moment of silence, Orochimaru said slowly, "Belief relies on quality, not quantity. These people are useless even if they come."
"Yes, I understand." Hidan actually felt that the couple in front of him weren't that interesting. The objects that could be worthy of Orochimaru-sama's favor should be more special.
"Go back and rest." Orochimaru turned his gaze to Uchiha Jinsuke and ordered, "Please take care of him for a while longer."
"Yes."
Uchiha Jinsuke nodded, glanced at Shisui, and hesitated slightly, "Orochimaru-sama, when do you think I can awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Having just witnessed Shisui's power, as a member of the Uchiha, he instinctively felt a few desires.
"You have the qualifications."
Orochimaru smiled, "But it's best if you don't have the opportunity to awaken it. You can ask Shisui, does he really want these eyes?"
Uchiha Jinsuke didn't understand, and turned his gaze to Shisui, only to see him silently shake his head.
What kind of qualifications did the Sage of Six Paths' eldest son Indra have? To awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, he still needed to kill his closest friend in order to awaken it with strong feelings. What level would an ordinary Uchiha need to achieve?
Moreover, the Blood Wheel Eye is already a stable state of the Sharingan. It's even more difficult to want to mutate again.
Uchiha Jinsuke's mood was a bit complicated. He left with the unwilling Hidan, while Shisui stayed with the old couple to handle the aftermath and disguise tonight's experience as a nightmare.
On the way back to the underground laboratory, Orochimaru chatted with the Genie, "Is the evil god Hidan believes in a figment of his imagination, or is it real? Could it be something like the 'Grim Reaper' in the Pure Land?"
"That shouldn't be the case, at least I haven't seen it."
The Genie shrugged, "Moreover, even the Grim Reaper only has partial intelligence. If you master the method, you can fool it."
"Why are you thinking about this?"
"It's just that Hidan thinks of me as an evil god, which makes me a little uneasy."
Orochimaru stopped at a rooftop, looking up at the bright moon, "If Hidan is really, as we guessed, a Chakra spirit of the Otsutsuki bloodline reincarnated, then he must be related to the Sage of Six Paths."
"Now that we've turned him into our follower, will we be sought out by the Sage of Six Paths?"
The Genie pondered for a moment, a little uncertain, "That shouldn't happen, that guy usually doesn't interfere in the ninja world."
At least in the original timeline, Hidan was buried by the 'Twelve Strongest' Shikamaru, and the Sage of Six Paths didn't take action.
