[Bond Value with Hidan +50]
The sentence "I'm really so envious of you" made Hidan feel like he was floating on air, and it even added 50 bond points. It was simply amazing!
It seemed that Hidan had been waiting for this day for too long.
Even Shinji was speechless. If he had known that this would be the result, he would have said it long ago. Why would he have waited until today?
But it was still worth being happy about. A casual sentence actually completed the second-to-last piece of the puzzle to master the domain.
Now he was only 100 points away from completing the third stage of the bond value mission.
"Manpower, Jōnin, I need you!"
Shinji suddenly had motivation again.
Tobi was curious about what the new Cursed Technique he was talking about was, and at the same time, he mourned Hidan's intelligence.
Could someone actually believe such a stupid lie?
And what the hell was Jashin? It was more like a Joke God!
Just as Shinji and the others were preparing to leave, the Hidden Mist ninjas who had received the request for help finally arrived.
"Hmm? Who are you people?"
Shinji cursed under his breath, but still used the same explanation he had used at the beginning.
The other party seemed a little distrustful, but with the village chief and others testifying, he didn't press the issue any further.
But the distrust and suspicion in his eyes were very unpleasant.
As mentioned before, the ninjas of the major countries generally looked down on wandering ninjas, and there was naturally a group of such people in the Hidden Mist.
In their view, hiring wandering ninjas was a very shameful thing.
Every wandering ninja who came to the Land of Water was like slapping the faces of these Hidden Mist elites.
But no matter how unhappy they were, they usually had to endure it.
Because if they could solve it themselves, they wouldn't need to ask for help from the outside.
Shinji didn't want to pay attention to these wastes and directly led his people away.
The remaining five Hidden Mist ninjas began to ask about the specific situation as usual, and then reported it.
Suddenly, the leader asked, "You said that a crown-like thing was taken away by those people just now, right?"
When the village chief heard this, he secretly thought that things were bad!
Why did he have to mention this.
"Hmm?"
The leader glared, and the old village chief was so frightened that he shivered, and had to say hesitantly, "It's like a crown worn on the head, but it's actually ordinary and unremarkable..."
"I didn't ask you that, where was the thing found?"
"Under the. monster's corpse."
Although they had all turned into rubble, it was indeed found inside.
The leader, who had a refined and scummy face, knew that the thing must be extraordinary as soon as he heard it.
Because not long ago, the higher-ups had issued a new order to collect all the special items left behind after the death of Cursed Spirits.
It was said that they contained a certain strange power that could be used by anyone.
And the corpses of Cursed Spirits were also being recycled.
Therefore, the scummy face immediately had thoughts that he shouldn't have.
If he chased after and killed those lucky wandering ninjas, he could not only swallow this credit, but also use these Cursed Spirit corpses and that crown to exchange for a lot of contributions, and maybe even enter the higher-ups' sights from then on.
He immediately dismissed the village chief and told the others his plan.
The reason why they could always act together was naturally because they were birds of a feather.
So they agreed readily with almost no hesitation.
Of course, the premise was that they had to do this perfectly.
At this juncture, if it was spread out that they, the Hidden Mist, had assassinated wandering ninjas who had come to the Land of Water to help in order to steal credit and treasure, then the Hidden Mist's reputation would be completely ruined!
Without others even having to take action, Master Gengetsu would be the first to send someone to arrest them and execute them with the most cruel punishments.
So if they were to attack, they must not let anyone go.
"What about these villagers? They are all in the know."
"Then it depends on whether they are sensible at that time. If they are willing to cooperate, then naturally everyone will be safe and sound. Otherwise, we can only send them down to reunite with their families. Blame us for receiving the message too late, and only having time to kill all those monsters for them to avenge them."
"That's right, that's right."
"Then what are we waiting for, the people will run away if we don't chase them."
Several Hidden Mist ninjas immediately chased after the direction that Shinji and his group had left in.
A few minutes later.
Shinji and his group, who were slowly walking through the mountains, were surrounded by the scummy face and his group of five who had caught up.
"I now suspect that you are spies sent by other countries, intending to disrupt the peace of the Land of Water. If you surrender now, you can save your lives."
Shinji was amused. He thought that these people would have something new, but it was still the old trick of framing them as spies.
"You say that we are spies from other countries, do you have any evidence? Just because we saved a village?"
"We have already investigated clearly, those Cursed Spirits were deliberately led there by you. Fortunately, we discovered it in time and eliminated those Cursed Spirits, exposing your conspiracy, which is why a disaster didn't happen! You can't run away now."
Shinji shook his head for them. Why did people always seek their own death?
"Alright, I'll use you to test the power of my new Cursed Technique."
"Kneel!"
The power of [Cursed Speech] wasn't something that these people could resist. Under a heavy pressure, they knelt on the ground with a plop.
"What's going on?"
"Why can't I stand up?"
"So heavy!"
No matter how they struggled, they could only kneel obediently on the ground at this time.
"As expected, after the number of people affected increases, the consumption increases, and the burden is also heavier. But these guys are too weak, this bit of backlash can't cause any damage to me."
"Kowtow!"
Dong, dong, dong!!!
The faces of the Hidden Mist ninjas turned red, and their teeth were almost crushed, but they couldn't stop their actions.
It was as if an invisible hand was pressing their heads to the ground.
"Damn it! I'm a special Jōnin of the Hidden Mist, how dare you play with me like this, you're dead, you're all going to die!"
After his self-esteem was destroyed, the scummy face immediately fell into a state of hysteria.
He didn't believe that the other party dared to kill them. Whether it was kneeling or kowtowing, they were just humiliating them, which showed that the other party was afraid of their identities!
Yes, it must be like this!
The scummy face made up his mind that as long as he found a chance, he would definitely chop these bastards into pieces and feed them to the dogs later.
However...
Shinji sneered and, with a cold expression, spat out two words again.
"Break!"
Crack, crack...!!!
Under an invisible force, the arms and legs of the five people were instantly twisted into various shapes.
Miserable wails and screams immediately rang out.
"How dare you... how dare you do this to me..." The scummy face was distorted with pain, his eyes full of hatred.
He was unwilling, his ninjutsu, which he was so proud of, didn't even have a chance to be used before he was trampled into the dirt like a worm.
