Chapter 440: Kage Level Taijutsu Ninja
A ship lay on its side in the seawater.
Kuroho slowly crawled out of the ship's hull.
He wiped his face, finding both his hands and face covered in blood.
The sacrifice was over. Lord Hidan had presided over his sacrificial ritual; he was now a devoted follower of the Three Gods Cult.
Kuroho stared at the blood on his hands. It felt strange—the blood didn't seem to belong to him.
His soul had detached from his physical form. The body was merely a vessel for the soul; no matter how severely it was damaged, he would not die.
In Lord Hidan's words, his soul and blood had been sacrificed to the great Jashin, and Jashin had bestowed upon him an immortal body.
Inside the cabin, Hidan said weakly, "Kuroho, go. Find suitable sacrifices. Go and please Lord Jashin! Do not fear death. I will find your body after the battle. No matter what happens to you, even if a ninja chops off your head, you will not die."
Kuroho nodded heavily and left the overturned cabin.
