When Shinji came out from inside, he saw Hidan and Tobi strangling each other, a scene of "man on top of man" on the ground.
The highlight was the salad dressing all over them. Why did it feel so evil? There were always some unclear whispers of "white," "turbid," and other meaningless sounds coming out.
"Someone's knocking outside. You guys continue, you can ignore my existence."
"Also... try to be a little more restrained, don't make a mess everywhere."
After subtly admonishing the two, Shinji quickly opened the door and ran out. No, he couldn't stay here for now.
After Shinji left, Hidan and Tobi, who had been strangling each other, exchanged glances and immediately started wrestling again.
Tobi suddenly used a move called "Antelope Hanging Its Horn," grabbing Hidan's hair tightly and pulling with all his might!
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
"I already said it was an accident that the salad dressing spilled. Are you going to keep this up?!"
Hidan pinned Tobi beneath him, his small fists repeatedly pounding Tobi's kidneys. Each blow made Tobi 'tremble like a flower,' flailing like a salted fish out of water.
"I'll fight you to the death today! Monkey Steals the Peach Technique! Ah, hit~"
Hidan's face immediately turned ashen, and without thinking, he opened his mouth and bit down on Tobi's perky buttocks.
If Shinji hadn't left yet, seeing this scene would have reminded him of stray dogs fighting in his apartment complex in his past life. It was probably similar to this.
"Hoo, luckily I got out fast."
Shinji leaned against the door, listening to the strange noises from inside, his mood complicated.
Then, when he looked up, he froze.
Because another big trouble had appeared.
Sasuke, who had followed him all the way, was standing outside the courtyard. The two stared at each other.
Shinji was now facing a difficult choice: go inside and endure the eye-searing scene, or stay here and face the onslaught of the monstrous brat?
Damn!
Just as he was about to knock Sasuke unconscious and throw him back to the hospital, Sasuke seemed to sense the danger and spoke first:
"I've figured it out. I won't ask you to tell me the truth for now."
"As you wish. Anyway, I've said what I needed to say. Whether you heard it or not is your problem."
Shinji had expected Sasuke to be like an angry little calf, arguing with him.
But Sasuke nodded calmly. "You're right. Before I have absolute strength, the more I know, the more dangerous it will be, and nothing can be changed. So, from now on, I will strive to become stronger, strong enough to stand before that man one day and ask for the truth of what happened back then."
Shinji felt a bit strange. "While it's best that you think this way, I'm curious. It's only been a day, but your attitude has changed too quickly."
If he hadn't been sure that Sasuke had genuinely fainted yesterday, he might have thought Sasuke knew everything by now.
Then he heard Sasuke say expressionlessly, "Actually, what you said earlier was already a very obvious hint. After I woke up from the hospital, I carefully recalled everything you told me, and finally understood that you actually told me the truth from the beginning."
"To be able to influence that man to make such a choice, and if I knew the truth, I would be in mortal danger... it's already very clear. Only..."
Before Shinji could say the name, he grabbed Sasuke by the neck and lifted him into the air.
Then he leaned close to Sasuke's ear, ignoring his struggles, and said with a terrifying smile, "Overly smart brats don't live long. If you had just said those two words, not only would you die, but you would also cause me unnecessary trouble. And I hate trouble the most. Do you understand now?"
Intense suffocation!
The feeling of death was gradually approaching.
Sasuke's face turned red, and he showed a very pained expression. He knew the other party was not joking and would actually kill him.
"Am I going to die like this?"
The moment this thought arose, the fear suppressed in his heart instantly consumed him.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt his neck loosen, and he fell to the ground. With violent coughing, he began to greedily breathe in the air.
"Brat, you should be glad about one thing. This is the accommodation and activity area arranged by Konoha for the Mizukage, so there are no Anbu members monitoring the surroundings. Otherwise, the moment you said the first half of your sentence, I would have crushed your throat."
"Now that you know everything, don't provoke me again. I won't play those make-believe ninja games with you. If it happens again, I can't guarantee I'll let go in time. Do you understand?"
Shinji's expression was very cold, instantly reminding Sasuke of that night five years ago. That man had also looked down at him from above and cruelly spoken those words.
Damn it!
Sasuke angrily pounded the ground with his fists.
Then he suddenly looked up, his Two-Tomoe Sharingan activated, and said in a tone that suggested he could abandon everything, "Give me a chance! I want to join you. I want to become stronger!"
This plotline has gone wildly off track.
Shinji was almost speechless on the spot.
"You've come to the wrong person. I can't help you."
"No, only you can help me! Since you were able to defeat that man, you must be able to teach me how to defeat him!"
Where did this twisted logic come from? For a moment, Shinji couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Wait, no.
That was all in the instance. It was just a dream, my dear Sasuke, what a worry!
But no matter how he denied it, Sasuke seemed set on it, as if twenty Six Paths Sages chained together couldn't pull him back.
Shinji was completely at a loss.
So he simply said, "Give up. You don't even know our origins, so how can you talk about joining?"
Unexpectedly, Sasuke immediately said, "Evil God! You are all followers of the Evil God."
At this moment, Sasuke was very guilty. He was just saying what he remembered from his dream, trying his luck.
But Shinji frowned. "Our Jashin Cult has very strict recruitment standards. You are still far from meeting them. Besides, we are not nannies; we won't take a burden along."
What happened in the dream was indeed the reality that truly existed!
Sasuke felt a surge of excitement in his heart. The Jashin Cult, just by the name, sounded like an organization full of powerful individuals and extreme mystery!
Well, no wonder some of them were a bit mentally unstable.
"I want to know what the standards are."
To make Sasuke give up, Shinji said bluntly, "Elite Jōnin. Only those who reach the strength of an Elite Jōnin are qualified to join us, and you will also need to undergo corresponding assessments."
