Kakuzu and Hidan rarely had violent conflicts. It was only when they first became partners and were in the adjustment period that they had many quarrels and even fights.

Later, when they occasionally hurled harsh words at each other, they rarely attacked each other with murderous intent.

This time, Kaku showed no mercy to Hidan and just chopped the guy who kept nagging all the way into pieces.

As for friendship, there is definitely not even a little bit between Kakuzu and Hidan.

For a ninja like Kakuzu who has lived for more than ninety years, it is a miracle that he can retain his fighting ability. Even someone as strong as Uchiha Madara could not resist the erosion of time and died due to exhaustion of his lifespan.

Kakuzu used the secret technique of Earth Grudge to capture the heart and constantly replenished himself with fresh energy and vitality. He was able to keep his combat power at its peak, which was definitely an amazing feat.

After venting his unhappiness, Kakuzu turned around and left without paying any attention to the half-cut body of Hidan that had been sold by the yellow sand.

"Hey, you're just going to leave me like this? That's really rude, isn't it?"

Feiduan's head was cut off at the root. He opened his mouth to shout, but the wind and sand poured into his mouth, choking him.

"Ugh, this damn place, lying on the ground can only eat sand. Brother Kakuzu, I was wrong. Now that you've calmed down, sew me up. Otherwise, I'll become a mummy here."

Before long, the scattered remains will be dried by the wind and then eaten by various small animals and disgusting insects in the desert, leaving only a pile of bones. The bones may also become a snack for desert hyenas after meals, or turn into a pile of pale feces scattered across the vast sea of ​​sand.

Kakuzu pretended not to hear Hidan's words of weakness and left without looking back.

"You're not really angry, are you? It was just a joke, right? Kakuzu, you're too rigid!"

Just as Hidan was complaining incessantly to Kakuzu whose back was almost out of sight, some strange tissues suddenly stretched out from the various parts of the originally dismembered body, connecting the other parts together, and the originally scattered body soon combined into a complete human figure.

"Huh? No way, when did I have such ability?"

Although Hidan possessed an immortal body, he had never possessed a nearly indestructible body, and this extraordinary regeneration and recovery ability was not something he could possess.

Immortality brings with it super strength, but the ability to regenerate severed limbs has never been there.

After putting his body back together, Hidan stroked the bare metal armor on his body with his hand and asked thoughtfully:

"Is that you, Jue?"

The shoulder armor that originally had ferocious horns suddenly stretched out a ball of tangled wood and turned into a pale human face.

"You are really careless. It took you so long to notice my existence."

If it weren't for Hidan's own mistakes this time, provoking Kakuzu and ending up with trouble, the White Zetsu clone, who had been lurking, wouldn't have to reveal its flaws to help Hidan recover.

"When did you hide on me, you bastard?"

Hidan asked, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Although it doesn't matter if you lurk inside me, it's better to say that you can help, but shouldn't you tell me?"

Although if it weren't for the White Zetsu clone, he would have been in a situation worse than death this time, but Feiduan was still very angry that someone possessed him without his consent.

"It's not a big loss anyway. If it weren't for me, you would be left behind in this deserted desert. Without me, with only half of your body left, how could you move freely?"

When Mizuki was rescuing the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Fu, Mizuki cut off half of Hidan's body, and then burned him to ashes using the Senjutsu, Lava Release, Thousand Conquest Orders. Half of his immortal body was destroyed before it could be used.

"If you don't need it now, will you keep hiding?"

“Who can say for sure?”

It was too weird to talk to the head on the right side of his shoulder. The White Zetsu clone changed direction, stretched out his upper body from Feiduan's abdomen, and spoke to Feiduan face to face.

"My possession can also greatly enhance your abilities..."

"What good will this do me? I just need to please the Evil God. I won't die anyway."

"Immortality?"

A playful smile appeared on Bai Zetsu's strange face.

"Can you handle a situation like that on your own?"

"Well?"

Hidan was suddenly speechless.

Seeing that the other party did not refute, the White Zetsu clone struck while the iron was hot and said:

"If you dawdle any longer, Jiaodu will be far away."

"Ah, that's true. Let's put these questions aside for now. Next time I see your real body, I will make him pay."

As he said this, Hidan, whose brain was no longer working properly, quickly headed in the direction Kakuzu left.

…

The information that the leader of the Akatsuki organization who possessed the Rinnegan, the Six Paths of Pain, and the S-rank rebel Uchiha Itachi had been killed spread throughout the ninja world as a result of a great battle in the northwest border of the Land of Fire.

The rare and high-end power that is said to be rarely seen frequently appears in the ninja world, causing everyone who pays attention to this matter to be worried.

Two of the five major ninja villages, including the strongest Konoha, participated, Jiraiya, one of the legendary three ninjas, also took action, most of the village's core jonin were dispatched, and there was support from the Hidden Mist Village, but they still failed to stop Akatsuki from taking away the three-tailed Isozaki. This result made people who originally didn't think much of this organization have a new understanding.

At least they all realized that with the strength of a certain ninja village, it was impossible to deal with the attacks of these incredibly powerful rebel ninjas.

Although the Akatsuki organization suffered heavy losses and even its leader died, according to the information revealed by Konoha, the Rinnegan is still controlled by the enemy.

In other words, the foundation of this feared organization is still there, and even though its leader has been killed, the organization has not fallen apart.

It should be everyone's common wish to unite and eradicate the cancer that threatens the entire ninja world. The only thing missing is a key opportunity.

In the Land of Wind and the Sand Village, Gaara, who has firmly established himself as the Kazekage, has slowly begun to show excellent leadership. He also has the help of his teacher Maki and two brothers and sisters. In addition, with some reform measures, some up-and-coming talents who have been promoted have gradually become praised. The villagers of the Sand Village have also gradually accepted this young leader with a solemn face and almost no smile.

In addition, Gaara promoted the policy of befriending his ally Konoha Village, while putting aside the hatred between the village and the ally of his ally, the Hidden Mist Village. This allowed the once shaky Sand Village to regain its footing.
