Kakuzu was naturally speechless.
After all,
Over the past period, whenever they encountered strangers on missions,
This idiot Hidan would shamelessly ask them if they wanted to join that Jashin Cult.
And then,
If the other party chose to refuse,
This guy would immediately turn hostile and turn them into specimens on the spot.
For this reason, Kakuzu held that so-called Jashin in great contempt.
Also for this reason, the two had more than once come to blows.
However, since both combatants were immortal cheaters, in the end, nothing came of it.
So, they could only compromise.
Unexpectedly now,
Hidan was thinking about preaching again.
Thinking this,
Kakuzu showed an indifferent gaze, just glanced at him, and directly said:
"Give it up, Hidan."
"You don't want to learn from that guy."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Hidan showed a strange look and said:
"Ha?"
"You know that person??"
Kakuzu raised his gaze slightly and said indifferently, speechless:
"Not only do I know him, you know him too."
"Because,"
"His name is Kyo."
"???"
As the words fell, Hidan's pupils contracted.
"Wh-what?!"
"Kyo?!"
Hidan's back immediately chilled, and he couldn't help but swallow nervously.
Then, he looked again at those Amegakure Shinobi carrying swords in the distance and said with cold sweat:
"S-so that's it..."
"If it's him, then... th-then forget it..."
Hidan's expression shifted slightly.
He certainly wouldn't forget that name.
Even though it had been a long time since he fought him, Hidan couldn't forget that guy's terror...
After that incident, it caused him to later have to custom-order a new scythe, wasting nearly half a year in total...
If there was anyone in the entire Shinobi World that Hidan absolutely didn't want to provoke,
It would be no more than three.
And Kyo,
Was definitely the first among them.
Even his weapon can shatter, so how can he fight!
After all, with his main ability being Jashin's curse, if he can't take blood, the curse is useless...
After an awkward silence,
Suddenly,
Itachi, who hadn't spoken for a while, raised his eyes and said indifferently:
"Let's go."
"It's almost time for the gathering."
As his words fell,
He expressionlessly stepped forward and walked ahead.
His pace was steady, without fluctuation.
Several years later now,
His acting skills had long become more mature.
Although his body wasn't as good as before due to illness, his mentality had on the contrary deepened, and he wouldn't easily reveal it.
Seeing him leave, the remaining three naturally followed immediately.
And at this moment,
In another direction,
At the tower in Amegakure.
Pain and Konan stood at the edge, looking down.
At this moment,
Konan, looking at the Shinobi moving through the streets of Amegakure below, also showed an elusive expression on her face.
Her gaze lowered slightly, and she murmured softly:
"Back then, I asked Kyo to go to the Shinobi Academy and be a swordsmanship teacher,"
"Just to improve the strength of the new generation of Shinobi in Amegakure, to give them the power to protect their lives..."
"Unexpectedly, in just a few short years, it gradually evolved into this."
"Amegakure, is it going to become a Shinobi Village that practices swordsmanship...?"
Konan sighed softly.
Hearing this, Pain beside him slightly raised his eyes and said flatly:
"This is normal."
"After all,"
"Regarding the swordsmanship scrolls Kyo brought out, in terms of power, quite a few of them are almost enough to exceed A-Rank Ninjutsu."
"No one would refuse to learn such powerful things, right."
"That's true."
Konan nodded thoughtfully.
In fact,
The two of them had completely witnessed the entire process of Amegakure's evolution.
From the initial craze for swordsmanship among the Shinobi Academy's students, to the later voluntary recommendation among all Amegakure Shinobi, it sounded long,
But looking back, it felt like an instant.
Undoubtedly,
The Amegakure of the past was being changed by that man.
And Pain and the other two,
Naturally wouldn't interfere with this kind of thing.
After all, there was no harm in Amegakure becoming stronger.
Even if, worst came to worst, Amegakure again became a battlefield in a Shinobi World War,
The Shinobi here would also have the power to fight, not completely be reduced to cannon fodder.
After a moment of silence,
Pain turned back, walking forward, and said:
"Konan, let's go. The gathering is about to start."
"Okay."
The spring breeze brought warmth.
Although the air still contained some damp earthy scent, it was also very gentle.
At this moment,
In the sky above Amegakure,
A huge clay bird was flying through the air.
And on the bird's back,
There were two figures in black robes with red clouds.
The one standing was a blond youth with a high ponytail, slightly grinning, always showing a very happy expression.
The one sitting beside him had brown hair casually rolled up at the back of his head, a black sword placed beside him, and golden eyes flickering slightly.
They were Deidara and Kyo.
"Senpai,"
"Amegakure is having a rare sunny day again today, how nice!"
"Good thing the meeting was scheduled for today,"
"Otherwise, it would have been too annoying, hmm!"
Deidara said cheerfully, looking down at the scenery below.
Kyo beside him leaned back against the bird's body, showing a leisurely smile, and didn't answer.
At this moment, unknown to Deidara, in his mind, system notifications were constantly ringing --
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Swordsmanship scroll · [Migawa Tokiryu · Mujin Ken] learner count +1, reward: Shop Points +100!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Swordsmanship scroll · [Motoryu · Isshiki Zantetsu] learner count +1, reward: Shop Points +100!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Swordsmanship scroll · [Kuchikiryu · Tōsen Kirai] learner count +2, reward: Shop Points +200!!]
And so on, similar notifications rang out continuously.
Under the sunlight,
The corner of Kyo's mouth slightly curled into a perfect arc.
That's right.
Over the past few years, Kyo hadn't completely been idle.
And the reason the Shinobi in Amegakure started learning swordsmanship naturally wasn't without cause.
In fact,
All the swordsmanship scrolls in Amegakure were deliberately released by Kyo.
The purpose was precisely for them to cultivate!
Because,
In a side mission two years ago,
The system added a new hidden ability, which was that all scrolls in the shop would have a return effect.
That is to say,
The more people who learned the abilities from the scrolls, the more shop points Kyo could earn!
For this reason,
Kyo bought out all the scrolls in the shop in one go!
Then,
First, in his capacity as a swordsmanship teacher,
He threw almost all of the most basic ordinary swordsmanship scrolls in his hand, the types that didn't require using spiritual pressure, into Amegakure.
From Shinobi Academy's students to teachers, to Amegakure Shinobi, almost everyone was eligible to learn.
Not only that,
He didn't let go of the leeks outside either.
Over these two years, using the identity of the Las Noches's Kitsune Ogre, Kyo had also slowly spread all the "Hakuda scrolls" throughout the Shinobi World.
Hakuda, meaning the hand-to-hand combat techniques from the Bleach World.
Similar to Taijutsu in the Naruto world.
Also immensely powerful.
For specific power, one can refer to things like Yamamoto Genryusai's Sokotsu, or Yoruichi and Soi Fon's Shunko, all of which are very powerful techniques.
And the Hakuda scrolls Kyo spread out,
Contained techniques that, after testing, were confirmed to be learnable without Spiritual Pressure, only through Chakra.
Therefore, barring accidents,
Afterwards, a large number of Shinobi would probably train these as the "Las Noches' secret transmitted Taijutsu"...
Including,
Even Shinobi from the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
And so far,
The shop points he had earned through the return from these scrolls had already exceeded... a full 200,000.
Not just a huge profit, it was an absolutely massive profit!
Thinking of this,
Kyo's heart blossomed with joy.
