Under Shinji's powerful cursed energy output, the Reverse Cursed Technique - Healing effortlessly cured Sasuke's horrific injuries.
"A bit reckless, but well done. Leave the rest to me."
The moment Sasuke saw Brother Shinji appear, a wave of relief washed over him.
The reason he dared to do what he did was precisely because he knew that as long as Brother Shinji was there, he wouldn't die. That's why he took such a gamble.
Of course, if Shinji had been late due to some unforeseen circumstance, then he would have truly died...
Therefore, resorting to a suicide attack against an enemy is not something an ordinary person has the courage to do.
"Trying to run?"
Perhaps due to his injuries, the deformed man's speed when submerging into the shadows was noticeably slower this time, but he was still about to disappear with the Lord of the Land of Salt.
However, Shinji would not give him this chance again.
"Domain Expansion: Scarlet Doomsday!"
Buzz...
Surging blood instantly spread out, enveloping the fleeing deformed man and the Lord of the Land of Salt.
Then, the sky and earth changed color, and a blood-red moon hung high in the air.
In the distance, the sound of a sea of blood crashing against the shore echoed, and a gigantic blood-red arm, like a pillar supporting the sky, held up a throne.
Shinji, seated on it, looked down from above at the small patch of shadow caught within his domain.
The deformed man was suddenly terrified to find that the ability he had acquired through immense hardship had inexplicably become ineffective?
No, not completely ineffective.
The ability to sneak into shadows with others was still there, but he couldn't escape this eerie area no matter what.
What exactly was going on?
He didn't dare to show his head, unsure if the other party had discovered him.
But at least for now, hiding here should be safe.
Shinji, seeing this, couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl into a slight smile.
In the scarlet sky, a torrential downpour suddenly began, but the rain was red blood!
Then the deformed man began to panic because he couldn't stop the penetration of the blood rain.
The magical shadow he was hiding in had limited capacity. If he didn't come out, he would be drowned alive in it.
Helplessly, he could only escape from it with the Lord of the Land of Salt.
"Wait, don't! You want this person, right? I'll give him to you, can you let me go?"
The deformed man quickly pointed at the unconscious Lord of the Land of Salt and shouted.
The blood-red arm supporting the sky suddenly bent, slowly lowering the person on the throne.
"I'm curious about one thing: what ninjutsu are you using?"
The deformed man didn't expect the other party to ask such a thing, and his eyes immediately flickered.
"This is a family secret technique that allows one to temporarily submerge into shadows."
Shinji nodded, then suddenly pointed at the other party's left arm.
Bang!
The deformed man's arm instantly exploded into a shower of blood, followed by a chilling wail.
"You have many more chances. No rush, take your time."
Shinji's gaze swept over various parts of the other party's body, then he continued, "Let's try a different question. How did you turn yourself into this neither-human-nor-ghost appearance?"
The deformed man gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain, and said, "I've been like this since birth..."
Shinji nodded again, and in the other party's horrified gaze, he pointed at the man's right leg.
Bang!
Without any surprise, the leg immediately exploded into a bloody mist.
The deformed man, sprawled on the ground, let out inhuman cries of pain.
"K-kill me!"
"You haven't answered my question yet. There's still plenty of time. Don't worry, as long as I don't allow it, you can't even die."
"Argh! Argh! Argh!"
......
When Shinji finally deactivated his domain, the deformed man and the Lord of the Land of Salt had completely vanished from this world.
However, the situation he had forced out of the deformed man's mouth was somewhat beyond his expectations.
The other party was originally just an ordinary Genin, without even a Bloodline Limit, let alone any family secret techniques.
And according to this guy's account, he didn't even look like this monstrous form originally.
According to his statement, his current abilities stemmed from an accident.
One day, his village was attacked by Cursed Spirits.
He had already despaired and was waiting for death, but for some reason, those ugly and terrifying Cursed Spirits didn't kill him.
Instead, they captured him and some other people and brought them all to a mountain.
In the mountain, they were not reduced to monster food.
But they suffered pain far more terrifying than death.
He didn't know exactly what happened, only that they were suddenly enveloped by darkness.
Then, it felt like something cold and chilling seeped into his body, followed by endless torment.
Those who couldn't endure the pain quickly turned into deformed monsters and died amidst their wails.
Those who barely endured became like him, gaining abilities like submerging into shadows.
But that was only the beginning of the disaster.
One day, all of them who had barely survived were released. They wanted to return to their former lives, but their monstrous appearance disgusted their families.
Even more terrifying was that this transformation they underwent had other side effects.
Their humanity would gradually disappear over time, eventually turning them into the kind of monsters they had all once seen.
The deformed man was just lucky. He discovered that by eating certain minerals, he could suppress the deterioration, which is why he had lasted until today.
Shinji was astonished after hearing this story.
Needless to say, this must have been the work of some Cursed Spirit.
This was clearly some kind of experiment being conducted on humans.
But the question was, how did the mastermind do it?
He couldn't figure it out.
Just then, two more people walked in from outside the Lord's manor.
"Whoa! As expected of Senior Shinji, such a huge incident happened in such a short time!"
"Damn it! You stopped me from killing people, but then you secretly came here and went on a killing spree yourself! You're such a dog, you bastard Shinji!"
Tobi and Hidan started verbally attacking Shinji as soon as they appeared.
Shinji found it strange. Why were these two always like the police of some country, only showing up to clean up the scene after everything was over?
"If it weren't for you two idiots running around everywhere, then..."
It wasn't worth getting angry with these two.
"Let's go."
Shinji was already considering whether he should tie ropes around these two guys' necks next time.
Sasuke, who had walked through the gates of hell, and Tamamo Hotaru, holding the white fox, quickly followed.
Hidan lingered at the very back, wanting to sacrifice everyone inside to Jashin-sama.
But in the end, he didn't succeed, being forcibly dragged away by Tobi.
"Tobi, let me go!"
"Senior Hidan, Senior Shinji is going to get angry, you know~"
"Tch, like I'm scared of him?"
"Then why are you walking so fast?"
