Chapter 40 - NUCT: Chapter 40

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything new, Shinji left the water and some food he had with him, and then left with Hidan.

Hidan just skimmedhis mouth when he saw this, and didn't say anything.

He was just a old geezer, there was no need to be verbose and get beaten up.

It had to be said that Shinji's transformation of Hidan had begun to show results.

"Do you believe what that old man said?"

"I don't believe everything, but my intuition tells me that the disappearance of the sacrifices is very likely related to this so-called monster."

Hidan couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

Without considering whether it was true or false, the group from the Land of Grass, carrying a not low number of 'sacrifices', directly plunged into a monster's lair that liked to eat people, and you didn't need to think to know what the result would be.

"Let's go, let's also meet this monster."

"Do you know where that monster is?"

Hidan was a little surprised.

"I don't know, but if that monster really likes to eat people, then there's no reason why it wouldn't eat the meat that's delivered to its mouth."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that the monster will come looking for us on its own."

Obviously, this dilapidated town under their feet had long become that monster's hunting ground, and the two of them had not only breaking in, but also swaggered around everywhere.

If such an arrogant act didn't attract the other party, then Shinji had nothing to say.

However, it wasn't clear whether his judgment was wrong, or the monster happened to be resting, or the monster had already left here.

In short, they waited bitterly for several hours, and didn't wait for anything until the sun went down.

They didn't even see a hair of the monster's shadow.

"I'm telling you that the old geezer must be talking nonsense, thinking that making up a story about a monster eating people would scare us, the disappearance of the sacrifices must be related to him."

Hidan, who couldn't sit still, jumped down from the roof of the house.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to kill that old thing! How dare he lie to Hidan-sama, he's really tired of living."

Shinji was a little speechless, but he didn't stop this idiot.

Maybe letting this guy make a fuss could create some different movements.

It was just that not long after, Shinji saw Hidan walking back alone, cursing.

"What's wrong?"

"When I went back, I found that the old thing had actually run away! He must have been making things up and felt guilty."

Shinji was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect that the other party was still an old actor, and had actually fooled him.

It was just that the feeling of fear from the heart, could it really be acted out?

"Forget it, we'll settle this account with him next time we meet. Let's find a place to rest first, and ask other people tomorrow."

Although this was the only thing they could do for the time being, Hidan still kept talk about, and it was estimated that the old man's ancestors for nineteen generations hadn't been spared.

Unconsciously, it was already late at night.

Shinji and Hidan found a relatively complete dilapidated house, started a fire, and simply leaned against the wall to take a nap and rest.

The cold wind blew past outside, and the fire flickered, twinkling uncertainly.

Suddenly, a black shadow passed through.

Shinji and Hidan didn't react at all.

But if they looked up, they would find a giant human-faced centipede several meters long entrenched on the beam.

And the human face didn't seem to be some special pattern, because the eyes on the human face had been turning non-stop, as if looking at the two people below. Before long, even saliva flowed out.

Chirp!

Finally, the human-faced centipede couldn't help but catapult up, opened its ferocious mouthparts and went straight to the two people below.

With just one bite, it could crush the other party's body and enjoy the delicious meat juice to its heart's content.

But at the moment it launched its attack, Shinji and Hidan almost opened their eyes at the same time, and reached out to grab the weapons that were placed next to them.

In the next moment, the two rise violently!

The Kubikiribōchō and the Blade Scythe slashed on the human-faced centipede one after another, and it was smashed to pieces in just two or three breaths!

"What the hell is this? It's really disgusting."

Hidan shook the weapon stained with green juice with a look of disgust.

Shinji was the same, but his mind wasn't here at this time.

Because just when he had just killed this strange centipede, the system actually had new news again.

[Exorcised Level 3 Cursed Spirit, obtained 200 Cursed Soul Points]

The content revealed by this message was really too rich! It turned out that in addition to completing system missions, there were other ways to obtain cursed soul points.

Then the human-faced centipede just now should be the so-called [Level 3 Cursed Spirit].

It was so weak, it must be a garbage existence among the cursed spirits, and it was said that killing one only gave one-fifth of the cursed soul points needed for a lottery.

It was expected that the harvest would be greater if he encountered more powerful cursed spirits.

It was just...

"Why did cursed spirits suddenly appear in the good old Naruto world?!"

Shinji had a huge headache.

Then he suddenly thought of that [Curse of the World's Will]!

[Curse of the World's Will]

Effect: Unknown

PS: Because of your unexpected arrival, this world has undergone some different changes.

...

Different changes...?

Could it be referring to this?!

To be honest, Shinji had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong during that treasure hunt, but after all, that 'ghost thing' was actively dug out by him, so he could still explain it to himself.

However, the cursed spirit that clearly appeared this time truly told him that this was already a different Naruto world!

As the name suggests, the so-called curse, or cursed spirit, was a monster born from the negative emotions of living beings towards anything, accumulated over time.

That was, the negative emotions overflowing from humans.

In other words, as long as humans were still afraid and fearful, and still possessed all kinds of negative emotions, then this ghost thing called cursed spirit would be born continuously.

More importantly, the old man before hadn't lied, he really saw a 'monster'.

Although he didn't know why, but if the cursed spirits born in this world could be seen even by ordinary people, then as this ghost thing became more and more, the society that had finally settled down would inevitably fall into chaos again!

Of course, there was also a good side.

He could completely obtain a large number of cursed soul points by exorcising cursed spirits, so as to quickly enhance his strength.

Another thing was that cursed spirits had strengths and weaknesses, and it just so happened that the ninja system in this world had cultivated many strong people.

As long as the people of the major ninja villages could take the problem of cursed spirits seriously at that time, they would probably be able to kill most of them quickly.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed that the situation wasn't as serious as he thought.

It was just that Shinji's hanging heart had not been put down.
