Chapter 44

Moreover, the entire city was now shrouded in a thick, gray mist.

Hidan walked up to an abandoned four-wheeled monster and examined it: "Ew, it smells terrible."

Just as Hidan was observing it closely,

Kakuzu suddenly patted his shoulder, and immediately after, the two of them saw before them

several gigantic creatures that consisted only of upper bodies, their lower halves having completely rotted away.

Relying on their hands, they were slowly moving through the air above the city.

All the stench they had smelled earlier was emanating from these monsters.

Seeing these monsters appear on the light screen, the people outside began to discuss among themselves.

"Hiss... Could it be that this is the true form of the so-called Unclean Ones?"

"Oh my god, how can these guys be so terrifying, and also so disgusting."

"Such huge monsters, yet they can walk relying only on their hands; this is too horrifying."

Looking at the monsters on the light screen, Naruto murmured to himself:

"Could it be that the world within the Red Sea's substance was destroyed by these creatures?"

Gazing at the monsters within the light screen, a trace of fear actually appeared in Naruto's eyes.

These Unclean Ones possessed such formidable power.

Then just how powerful must the god who created them be?

What immense courage did the ninja of the Anomalous Containment Facility possess to face a god with their own bodies!

Within the light screen,

watching the Unclean Ones moving slowly, Kakuzu and his companion couldn't help but swallow hard.

These guys were simply too massive.

At this moment, the itch-handed Hidan suddenly threw a kunai at one of the monsters.

Seeing this, Kakuzu looked directly at Hidan.

Noticing Kakuzu looking at him, Hidan still acted nonchalantly and patted Kakuzu's shoulder:

"It's fine; these guys move so slowly, they definitely can't catch us."

Those monsters that had been attacked suddenly spotted Kakuzu and the other.

Immediately, these Unclean Ones erupted with astonishing speed and charged toward the pair.

With the earth trembling, almost in an instant, these Unclean Ones arrived right before Kakuzu and his companion.

Seeing this, the two immediately fled in the direction of the exit.

But alas, the speed of these Unclean Ones was simply too fast; if Kakuzu and his companion continued to flee blindly, they would absolutely be torn apart by these monsters.

In an instant, the two stopped in their tracks, turned around, and attacked the Unclean Ones.

Hidan quickly rushed to the side of one Unclean One.

With his Scythe of Triple Pacts, he slashed directly onto the body of the Unclean One.

Afterwards, Hidan quickly broke contact with the Unclean One and licked a bit of its blood from the scythe blade.

Seeing this situation, the people outside the light screen all displayed expressions of shock.

What kind of operation is this guy doing? Licking blood?

Is this damn guy a pervert or what?

Inside the light screen, after Hidan licked a mouthful of blood,

Hidan viciously slashed his own palm open, then drew a formation on the ground composed of a circle and a triangle, before standing inside this formation to prepare for his technique.

Hidan's unique skill: the Jashin Ritual of Curse.

After drawing the formation, Hidan let out a cold laugh and stabbed a knife directly into his own heart.

Under normal circumstances, once Hidan used this move,

the Unclean One would inevitably die instantly.

However, Hidan's eyes widened in utter disbelief.

Because the Unclean One he had injured earlier not only did not die, but Hidan instead felt as though he himself was about to perish.

Just then, Hidan saw that Unclean One accelerate and charge toward him.

In merely a moment, it rushed before him and directly tore Hidan into pieces.

Meanwhile, outside the light screen,

those who did not understand Hidan's ninjutsu were full of curiosity.

Is this guy perhaps an idiot? Why is he killing himself?

However, the members of the Akatsuki who understood Hidan's ninjutsu were all filled with terror.

They were extremely clear about this ability of Hidan's.

Yet, the very ability he usually used that seemed omnipotent was utterly useless against the Unclean Ones?

Instantly, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

At the same time, within the light screen,

four of Kakuzu's five hearts had already been destroyed by the Unclean Ones.

Of the five masked monsters he had released, only the Earth mask remained alive.

Upon seeing Hidan torn apart, a desire to retreat arose in Kakuzu's heart.

This was the first time in all his many years that Kakuzu had felt such bone-deep fear.

Immediately, Kakuzu fled toward the exit, while those Unclean Ones chased him rapidly, seemingly unwilling to stop until they had killed him.

As the distance between Kakuzu and the Unclean Ones grew closer and closer.

Everyone who witnessed this scene instantly turned pale.

Konoha.

Seeing this, Tsunade's pupils trembled continuously.

"Those two bastards! Do they want the ninja world destroyed!"

At this moment, if the Unclean One followed Kakuzu to find the passage to the Red Sea object and used it to enter the ninja world.

Then恐怕 the entire ninja world would be utterly annihilated.

Immediately, Tsunade ordered the jonin behind her:

"Activate the highest-level emergency protocol!"

Inside the Akatsuki.

Watching the Unclean One about to be brought out, various members of the Akatsuki couldn't help but feel fear rise in their hearts.

In contrast, Obito's eyes radiated a madman's light.

Orochimaru watched the Unclean One on the light screen drawing closer to the exit.

He also broke into furious curses.

"Kakuzu, you bastard! Damn it, if you're going to die, don't drag us down with you!"

Although Orochimaru was a madman.

Unlike Obito and those other lunatics, Orochimaru only wanted to rule the world; he did not intend to destroy it.

Within the mirror surface.

Just as Kakuzu was about to reach the edge of the mirror.

A huge hand suddenly grabbed Hidan's entire body.

With a slight exertion of force, Hidan's body turned into a mist of blood.

Then.

That extremely rotten head, devoid of any facial features, suddenly turned toward the direction of the mirror.

Instantly, the entire face filled the whole mirror surface.

And he was still attempting to pass through this mirror.

Seeing this scene, nearly everyone's mood began to tense up.

Tsunade stared intently at the light screen before her, constantly swallowing saliva in her throat.

At this moment, almost everyone's mind held only one thought.

Namely, that they were completely screwed, utterly and totally screwed.

The Unclean One, who suffered no damage from ninjutsu, was about to descend upon the ninja world.

Just as everyone was drowning in despair, several ninja wearing abnormal containment facility uniforms appeared within the light screen.
