Chapter 224: Preach to Me


    Chapter 224: Preach to Me@@@@


    Black Zetsu never expected Hagoromo Gengetsu to act so swiftly, precisely, and unexpectedly.


    With one move, he struck Akatsuki''s weak point.


    Now, Nagato and Konan''s fates were uncertain; the Rinnegan and the Gedo Statue had likely changed hands; Kisame, Sasori, and others had possibly been attacked and were missing.


    The once formidable Akatsuki, known for capturing Tailed Beasts and feared by the great ninja villages, had suddenly become an empty shell.


    The only ones left were himself and Uchiha Obito.


    It felt like they were back to square one.


    This perfectly described Obito''s current situation.


    Black Zetsu couldn''t help but consider running away.


    However, he quickly realized that if he abandoned Obito, his disguise as the embodiment of Uchiha Madara''s will would be exposed.


    Moreover, it was unlikely that Hagoromo Gengetsu would accept someone with an unclear background like him.


    So, Black Zetsu decided to stay with Obito for now.


    After all, they''ve worked together for many years, and he knew Obito was deeply committed to the Eye of the Moon Plan.


    Although Hagoromo Gengetsu had shown impressive capabilities and had now taken action, Black Zetsu still had reservations.


    After lurking for a thousand years, he couldn''t easily trust anyone.


    Unlike Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, Black Zetsu couldn''t be sure if Hagoromo Gengetsu fully supported and would implement the Eye of the Moon Plan.


    "Let''s wait and see. If things get really uncertain, I still have a backup plan."


    Black Zetsu thought of the burial site of Uchiha Madara, known only to him, which gave him some reassurance.


    He then looked at the confused, then grimacing Obito.


    Worried that Obito might act recklessly and die pointlessly, Black Zetsu quickly said:


    "Lord Madara—I mean, Lord Madara left me with another plan before he died. Obito, don''t lose heart; we still have a chance."


    The battle outside Mount Katsuragi had indeed shaken the ninja world.


    Hagoromo Gengetsu, who had successfully seized the Rinnegan and the Gedo Statue, and dismantled Akatsuki, did not care about the outside world''s commotion.


    Hagoromo Gengetsu placed Hidan''s head and body on the operating table, telling him to "stay calm," and began his work.


    Two hours later.


    After fully analyzing Hidan''s immortality, Hagoromo Gengetsu glanced at the now silent, dazed Hidan and then turned his attention to the reports.


    "His blood, bones, organs, brain, and other parts are no different from a normal person. He still bleeds, breaks bones, and damages organs when injured. But there''s a strange energy, unlike chakra, maintaining his life force. Moreover, his healing speed is far above normal. However, there''s a condition—he needs to consume a large amount of nutrition, meaning he needs to eat a lot."


    After reading the analysis report, Hagoromo Gengetsu had a clear understanding of the immortality ability.


    However, understanding it was one thing; developing this ability into a technique was another challenge.


    Just as the Eye of the Moon Plan required the Rinnegan, obtaining immortality also required the entity Hidan worshiped, known as the Jashin.


    "A being similar to the Shinigami?"


    Hagoromo Gengetsu became intrigued and approached Hidan, patting his head.


    "Hidan, stop pretending to be dead. Preach to me."


    "Preach?"


    Hidan''s eyes instantly sharpened.


    Hagoromo Gengetsu was terrifying.


    Even though he had suffered pain far beyond that of ordinary people over the years, the so-called scientific research he had just experienced was a new level of torment he couldn''t have imagined.


    Who said Jashinists are all madmen?


    He thought people like Hagoromo Gengetsu, the scientists, were the real lunatics!


    Just seeing Hagoromo Gengetsu made him shiver involuntarily now.


    But preaching?


    Hidan''s eyes lit up quickly.


    Preaching is good!


    Preaching is very good!


    Once they''re in the Jashin cult, bound by its rules...


    As the current leader of the Jashin cult, he would make sure to pay back this insubordinate fellow in kind!


    Without needing another word from Hagoromo Gengetsu, Hidan immediately began preaching the teachings of the Jashin cult with all his might.
