"Slow down, kid. No one's going to steal your food," Jinghang said, watching the young boy in front of him wolfing down his meal. He reached out and added a chicken drumstick to the boy's bowl.
When it came to dealing with the Jashin Cult, Jinghang knew better than to underestimate them. Just one technique, Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood, had allowed Hidan to take down formidable opponents like Yugito Nii, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, and Asuma Sarutobi, a highly skilled jonin. The technique's lethality and its user's immortality made it a terrifying weapon. If one wasn't careful, they could easily fall victim to it.
The problem was that no matter what you did, you couldn't kill these so-called "immortals." They were indeed troublesome foes.
However, given how courteous the village leader had been—offering hot springs and meals, and even a generous reward—Jinghang, as the Kazekage of one of the Five Great Shinobi Nations, couldn't very well refuse. That would be unbecoming of his status. So, he agreed and began gathering intelligence.
The Jashin Cult wasn't actually that large, with only around a hundred members, fewer than ten of whom were at the jonin level. The real trouble lay with three individuals known as the "Immortals." That was about all the useful information they had.
Jinghang quickly formulated a battle plan. The operation emphasized speed, giving the enemy no time to react. Jinghang would launch the first wave of attacks, followed by Rasa, who would immediately use his Magnet Release: Gold Dust to seal any immortals before they could perform their rituals. Meanwhile, Pakura and the other ninjas would block all exits, ensuring no one escaped.
