In the original story, that’s how Nara Shikamaru dealt with Hidan.
Surprisingly, the bombastic Hidan was blown to bits, leaving only his head.
Then he was sealed and buried alive underground to die a slow death.
Yan could only say that the death of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii, was even more frustrating.
Of course, Asuma’s death was the same, but Asuma’s strength... was just so-so.
Unable to even control his own clan’s secret techniques, how strong could you expect him to be?
Just a moving target.
But Yugito Nii, the Jinchuriki, died a truly frustrating death due to inaccurate information, leading to her being trapped and killed.
Her death was senseless.
Why does Yan know more detailed information than we do?
Itachi glanced at Shisui, who shook his head with a wry smile.
Don’t ask me, I don’t know either. Yan probably investigated while we were away, we just didn’t know.
Shisui and Itachi, who wildly speculated, grew even more respectful of Yan.
"It can’t be, absolutely impossible!!!"
The dispatched team was completely wiped out, and even the sect’s base was exposed. The enemy has already reached our doorstep.
During the purge, the elder of the Jashin Cult couldn’t believe the report he heard.
He stubbornly believed that such a thing couldn’t happen, that the ninjas of Konohagakure couldn’t be this strong.
The ominous footsteps gradually approached, slowly echoing into the base. Two elongated shadows appeared, accompanied by a strong scent of blood. Itachi and Shisui successfully entered the headquarters of the Jashin Cult.
The small fry outside couldn’t stop the two of them at all.
No matter how many came, they were just sent to their deaths.
Watching Shisui and Itachi walk into the base, the elder of the Jashin Cult shrank back in fear and angrily shouted:
"Who is it? Who sent you here?!"
"You blasphemers!!"
"Jashin-sama will bring divine punishment upon you."
In their agitation, the two elders of the Jashin Cult went mad, and their skin began to change.
Compared to the cult members whose bodies only partially changed, the two elders’ bodies mostly turned black and white.
The most striking figure was the young man standing aside with a scythe.
"Hehehe..."
Compared to the two crazed elders, Shisui paid more attention to Hidan, who showed a bloodthirsty gaze but remained mentally stable.
"Are you Hidan?"
"Oh? You know of my existence too?"
"Hahaha... Wonderful."
Hidan’s expression was exaggerated. He laughed and tilted his head back, his smug attitude leaving Shisui and Itachi bewildered.
They thought he might be normal, but he turned out to be crazy too.
"Hahaha, you blasphemers, all of you die!!!"
The two maddened elders lunged at Shisui.
Due to the lack of sufficient Ninjutsu inheritance, along with the cult’s special doctrines and their dark arts, most members of the Jashin Cult were not skilled in Ninjutsu.
Taijutsu was their specialty, powerful Taijutsu, unique weapons, combined with terrifying dark arts.
Those without enough intelligence would easily suffer a great loss when encountering them.
Yumito was the best negative example.
"Kid, dying by my hand is your honor."
Muttering non-stop, the talkative Hidan swung his scythe at Itachi.
Also a member of the Jashin Cult and having undergone modifications, Hidan’s biggest difference from others was that his modifications were perfect.
Moreover, he could control his emotions, unlike the two elders who were like uncontrollable beasts, toyed with by Shisui.
The katana blocked the horizontal slash of the scythe. Hidan’s strength was surprisingly great. Itachi quickly retreated, and Hidan laughed as he chased after him.
Activating his Sharingan, Itachi observed the terrain while thinking.
Itachi fought and retreated, while Hidan gave him no chance to catch his breath, relentlessly pursuing him.
What annoyed Hidan was that Itachi was too cunning, like a slippery eel that couldn’t be caught or held.
"Damn brat, stop right there!!!"
Without a doubt, this was Hidan’s most hated way of fighting. The opponent was too cunning, giving him no chance for close combat.
Fighting and running, dodging here and there, it was no fun at all.
"Damn brat, you’re dead."
Seeing Itachi retreat into a passageway.
The enraged Hidan didn’t think twice and charged in with his scythe.
When he charged into the passage, Itachi, who had been fighting and running, suddenly changed tactics and turned around to counterattack.
"Huh! Good timing."
Itachi stopped running, which was what Hidan had been hoping for. He was delighted, but when he raised his weapon to counterattack, he was shocked to realize he had fallen into a trap.
The narrow passage made it impossible for him to swing his scythe, effectively limiting his combat abilities.
The sharp scythe easily left a long cut on the passage’s rock walls, and Hidan’s attack was thus hindered.
Itachi seized this moment, and with his katana, he slashed at Hidan’s arm.
With a scream, mixed with Hidan’s curses, Hidan’s right hand, which held the scythe, fell to the ground.
The immortality granted by the Jashin cult only made it difficult for the modified individuals to die; it didn’t mean they couldn’t be injured.
"That hurts! Damn brat, you’ve successfully angered me"
Still a young Hidan, apart from his mouth and his bizarre Jashin techniques, was far inferior to Itachi in other aspects and was easily overpowered by Itachi.
All Itachi did was anger Hidan and then choose a battlefield that suited him, leading Hidan into a trap.
Unable to pick up his weapon from the ground, Hidan swung his remaining hand at Itachi.
Unfortunately, his attack was easily dodged under the insight of the Sharingan, and blood splattered. Hidan didn’t even have the chance to become a one-armed man.
Amid Hidan’s screams, the katana easily pierced his throat, spun half a circle along his spine, and Hidan’s head, flying high, saw his headless body slowly falling.
"Is it over already?"
Shisui walked into the passage, holding a sealing scroll.
Itachi looked at Hidan, who was left with only a head but was still shouting:
"The elder’s information was accurate. These guys are almost impossible to kill, but they’re a bit stupid."
"Bastard! Damn brat, how dare you call me an idiot!!!"
Hidan, with only a head left, was still cursing.
Itachi’s words deeply provoked him.
