Chapter 169 Human joys and sorrows are not shared, yet some always seek their own death.
A bloody massacre swept through the entire village in an instant.
Of course, these are not their main goals.
Because blood sacrifice is only part of the ritual, the main participants in the bloody ritual are the children, because they discovered that children are the best vessel for the gods. If they want to obtain an immortal body, a part of them must be children, and this is the most important thing.
Amid cries and screams, the cultists brutally snatched the children and gathered in the village square.
There, a massive array drawn with blood was already prepared.
"Cry, why are you crying!" The old village chief said while drawing the sealing spell, "Children, this is an immense blessing."
"Upon completing this ritual, you will have the opportunity to receive a gift from the gods. We will become divine children, immortal and eternal!"
"Evil God, please have mercy on your followers and bestow your grace."
The old village chief knelt on the ground with his buttocks sticking out, as humble as a dog crawling on the ground.
Then, dozens of ninjas and dozens of civilians knelt on the ground together. Their eyes were filled with piety and madness, and they had the determination to sacrifice everything, but no humanity.
They are no longer human; they have sold their souls to evil gods.
Aburame Shisei was absolutely right. No one is innocent; they all deserve to die!
Hidan was also on the list of these children.
After all, his mother and father were both elite ninjas, so their child was naturally a person of exceptional talent.
Not long ago, a group of people broke into Hideyoshi's house and used ninjutsu to smash the wind barrier.
Sensing the sudden chaos and bloodshed in the village, Aburame Shisei's brows furrowed deeply for the first time.
For the first time, his voice was filled with anger as he said, "Jiraiya, I don't have time to waste on your nonsense!"
"Sage Technique: Wind Escape - Wind Breath Technique".
Aburame Shisei formed hand seals, and the pair of dragonfly wings on his back flapped continuously. The blue wind transformed into whirlwinds in the air, violently blowing towards Jiraiya.
This move instantly overwhelmed Jiraiya. In an instant, trees within a radius of hundreds of meters were blown away, rocks shattered, and rubble flew everywhere.
With such a large-scale ninjutsu, Jiraiya naturally had nowhere to hide and was ultimately forced to summon the stomach wall of a giant toad to evade the attack.
Aburame Shisei intended to turn back and strike Jiraiya again, but instead bypassed him and headed straight for the village entrance—because he sensed a peculiar force that had broken through his wind barrier. Minako and Hidan are in danger!
"Shiraki, I will not allow you to go back and continue killing!"
After the storm subsided, Jiraiya reappeared. Thinking he wanted to return and continue the slaughter, he puffed out his cheeks and unleashed his ultimate technique: "Sage Art: Goemon!"
In an instant, a large amount of toad oil mixed with flames sprayed out, forming a fiery dragon hundreds of meters long in the air.
Feeling the scorching heat behind him, Aburame Shisei frowned, and a genuine killing intent rose in his heart.
He was wrong. If he had known things would turn out this way, he should have killed him yesterday.
As for Gamamaru—we're all immortals. If he dares to use his prophetic abilities to expose all his identities, then don't blame him for having no bottom line and using every means to storm Mount Myōboku and kill all the toads to boil in oil.
"Immortal Technique: Instantaneous Movement and Dance with the Wind"
Aburame Shisei formed hand seals, and his body floated in the air like a willow leaf.
The so-called oil barrage and the so-called super high temperature are useless if they can't hit him.
He pushed his speed to the limit, turned around again, and a streak of blue light appeared.
"Wind Release Sage Technique: Gale Palm".
With just a simple palm strike, a powerful blow sent Jiraiya flying dozens of meters away, leaving several bloody scratches on his body.
Yu Nu Zhicheng stopped pursuing her and turned into a streak of light, rushing towards the village.
However, when he returned to the village, he was met with a hellish scene.
The cultists went on a killing spree, villagers fled and cried out, and Mieko lay dead in a pool of blood. The spot she had been so tightly protecting was now empty.
Hidan is missing.
Fortunately, Mieko is still alive and has a glimmer of hope.
Aburame Shisei bent down and used a sealing technique to lock away her life force, then released a rhinoceros beetle from his spatial storage: "Save her. If you don't want to be used as material."
The rhinoceros beetle remained unconcerned until it sensed the chilling killing intent. Only then did it slowly crawl toward the body and touch the other's forehead with its horn.
At this time, the sacrificial ceremony at the village entrance was also mostly over.
They succeeded and they failed—because two adults and four children seemed to have been transformed into immortals by such sacrifices, but they also failed because they completely lost their minds, became irrational, and only knew how to kill indiscriminately, and could not even speak properly.
"Kill...kill! Sacrifice...the evil god!"
Jiraiya arrived shortly afterward and, seeing the horrific scene before him, his already pale face, already gaunt from his injuries, turned even paler.
He opened his mouth, but the dry words of apology stuck in his throat, ultimately turning into a bitter and powerless expression.
"Sorry, I thought those people could still be saved..." He scratched his head, a smile full of apology but also innocence on his face.
It was as if he were a child who had done something wrong.
Aburame Shisei turned to look at him; his face was expressionless, without a smile.
He couldn't even understand how Jiraiya could laugh.
He turned around and walked forward step by step. With each step, the color of his hair changed from the roots, gradually turning from the original jade green to jet black.
Even her jade-like skin turned a cold, white color.
At the same time, piles of grayish-white stuff poured out from the sleeves and hem of the clothes, mixed with small dots of various colors.
Jiraiya only realized after careful observation that it was actually an insect!
Those were all kinds of insects, some with wings, some without, black, white, gray, brown, that could eat soil, emitted a cold aura, and quickly turned into water droplets and ice crystals under the sun.
"Who are you……!"
Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, the entire Yugakure village and several surrounding villages were already overwhelmed by countless insects.
The moment the swarm of insects appeared, the eyes of all the surviving villagers began to glaze over, and they eventually drifted off into a deep sleep.
Those who had even the slightest connection with the evil cult were terrified and screamed as they were eventually overwhelmed by the hordes of people, devoured without leaving a trace.
Jiraiya felt the hairs on his body stand on end and turned to run away.
However, before he could run very far, swarms of insects gathered in front of him and formed figures.
They were all dressed in black, with black hair, and wearing sunglasses. (The last part is a reference to a woman named Zhicheng.)
These insect clones all opened their mouths, emitting a sonic resonance illusion.
"Jiraiya, I told you, if there's a next time, I won't hold back. Where do you think you're going?"
