NABC Chapter 53 Cult Followers
Chapter 53 Cult Followers
Sulfur Fog Valley, early morning.
Deep in the valley, springs are everywhere, with bubbles rising from time to time, and mist billowing out, carrying a strong smell of sulfur.
For Kazuhiko, this mission to eradicate the followers of evil gods was one he could not afford to fail.
Successfully treating Tsunade's hemophobia means he will gain the Third Hokage's trust.
With three generations of suppression, Danzo wouldn't dare to openly attack him in the short term.
With Tsunade returning to the village, impeaching the Third Hokage, and supporting the new Hokage, her plan was half successful.
Tsunade becoming Hokage is definitely good news for the Uchiha clan.
Kazuhiko walked silently through the thick fog, his Sharingan with two tomoe slowly rotating in his pupils.
He can detect any chakra reaction that appears within his field of vision immediately.
"There are signs of ninja activity."
Kakashi's voice came from the side, his tone grave.
When carrying out missions in such complex terrain, caution is the key.
Although he is an elite Jonin, he can still die if stabbed.
Not everyone has Tsunade's unreasonable regenerative abilities.
Kazuhiko's double tomoe spins faster, further enhancing his field of vision.
Sure enough, a pale blue chakra cluster appeared in the thick fog directly ahead.
Judging by their chakra levels, they are undoubtedly two genin.
Kazuhiko looked at Kakashi, gazing thoughtfully at the three-tomoe Sharingan in the other's eye sockets.
Judging from the field of vision, the opponent's Sharingan was more than twice as strong as his own, far exceeding the ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan.
As expected of Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan, whose eye power has never been depleted!
He Yan felt envious of the real-name registration system and sighed inwardly:
When will we get a gold one?!
Kakashi knows a lot of ninjutsu, so much so that he gets ten ninjutsu-related entries in a single Jonin run, but if he gets a gold one, it will definitely be Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan.
The two moved forward quickly.
They approached their target silently, one on the left and one on the right.
Before they could get within assassination range, transparent silk threads blocked their path.
The thick fog dampened the silk threads, and water droplets dripped from them from time to time.
Kakashi looked at the bell and explosive tags attached to it and hesitated for a moment.
From a normal field of vision, the blurry figures of the two genin could already be seen.
If you try to dismantle the trap, the other side might notice it if you're not careful.
The number of cult members in this valley is unknown, and once exposed, assassination and eradication will be impossible.
Suddenly, several shuriken shot out.
It was Kazuhiko who made the move.
He has great use for the heads of the followers of the evil god cult, so we must strike first.
He manipulated the shuriken in his hand using black chakra threads, silently striking the two genin.
Black lightning flashed on the silk threads, and the two genin died silently in the thick fog of the Sulfur Mist Valley without making a sound.
Kakashi's eyes lit up.
It is a practical application of shurikenjutsu combined with Storm Release!
The sound of the shuriken being cut through the air was masked by the use of Storm Release chakra, and the Storm Release was transmitted through chakra threads, paralyzing the enemy upon impact, preventing them from giving any warning.
As expected of a bloodline limit that combines two chakra nature transformations.
Kakashi was somewhat envious of the convenience of Storm Release.
He is also skilled in shurikenjutsu.
However, achieving the same speed and silence as Hiko, and simultaneously imbuing the shuriken with the advantages of both lightning and water chakra nature transformations, is beyond the scope of the task.
If bloodline limits were so easy to develop, they would have become commonplace long ago.
You have incurred the hatred of the followers of the evil god.

As soon as the two were killed, [Deep Blue] gave an immediate response.
The entry for "Genin" is nothing to be surprised about for Kazuhiko.
Surprisingly, assassinations can also open a gacha pool, granting opportunities to draw specific affixes.
This makes things much easier.
In his memory, this wasn't the first time Kazuhiko had killed someone, but it was the first time he had taken action since obtaining [Deep Blue].
He originally planned to shout slogans like "I, Uchiha Kazuhiko, will end your lives" or "Any evil will be brought to justice by me, Uchiha Kazuhiko," when he was purging the followers of the evil god, to incite hatred.
But if you can unlock the card pool by defeating enemies, you don't need to be so dramatic.
Now, all He Yan needs to figure out is:
Among these cultists, who is the most cruel and bloodthirsty? You can extract the "bloodthirsty" keyword that he needs.
"Remove the trap."
He acted swiftly and decisively, freeing Kakashi from worrying about traps.
"Clear out an evacuation route."
The two came to eliminate the followers of the evil god in order to complete the task of treating Tsunade.
Therefore, if an unexpected event occurs during the mission, the first choice would be to abandon the mission and retreat directly, rather than completing the mission at all costs.
"Black robe, a circle with an inverted triangle mark inside—he's definitely a follower of the evil god cult."
After confirming the other party's identity, Kakashi immediately took out a scroll and put the corpse away.
Mission reward: +30 taels.
The two continued on and soon found a natural cave.
Even before diving in, the strong stench of blood emanating from the cave made one frown.
Kazuhiko and Kakashi exchanged a glance, then disappeared into the thick fog, silently sneaking in.
The cave was extremely spacious, and once inside, the two had a clear view of the entire cave.
In the center of the cave, there is a natural rock platform.
The platform was covered with incantations drawn in blood, and the corpses of several young girls lay quietly on it. Blood flowed down the grooves and gathered around the platform, forming a blood altar with an evil beauty.
The four corners of the altar were littered with kneeling corpses.
Men, children, ninjas...
Without exception, these corpses all had gruesome, piercing wounds, with blood flowing freely and pooling beneath the altar to form a dark red pool of blood.
Around the altar were a dozen or so followers of the evil god cult dressed in black robes.
Without exception, their faces were painted with evil god patterns in blood, their eyes were closed in prayer, and they were chanting incantations in a frenzied and eerie tone.
Every now and then, someone would open their eyes, pick up a blood-stained dagger from the ground, and cut themselves, letting their blood flow into the altar.
"There are no survivors... These utter lunatics..."
Kakashi looked at the scene before him with a cold expression.
"Cultists regard killing as piety and death as salvation. They have no moral bottom line and take pleasure in slaughtering the innocent."
He looked at He Yan, his tone firm:
"Killing this kind of person shouldn't be a psychological burden."
Kazuhiko: "..."
How did you figure out that I have a psychological burden?
Such beasts should all be sent to the eighteenth level of hell!
Kazuhiko's Sharingan spun rapidly, taking in the movements and chakra of every follower of the evil god.
"Five Chunin and seven Genin. The two closest to the altar are probably the leaders in charge of the sacrifice, and they are the strongest, close to Special Jonin."
"But they all engaged in some degree of self-harm, losing a lot of blood, which reduced their stamina and chakra..."
Kakashi nodded, acknowledging Kazuhiko's information.
"I'll kill all these beasts!"
Kakashi: ? ? ?
