Naruto: Boruto Returns to Shippuden

Chapter 133 Curse

"Hehehe..." Hidan stuck out his tongue and licked the stone stained with Boruto's blood. He then raised his head, a twisted sense of satisfaction on his face, and let out bursts of maniacal laughter.

"Get ready to accept the curse of the evil god! Hahahaha..." Hidan's laughter grew increasingly unrestrained.

Boruto's blood flowed down Hidan's throat into his body. Then, Hidan stretched out his foot and stepped on the ground with a small pool of blood, slowly drawing a mysterious formation composed of circles and triangles.

Jiraiya frowned as he watched Hidan's unusual act of drawing patterns on the ground with his blood, a sense of foreboding rising within him.

Although he didn't know what kind of ninjutsu Hidan was preparing, his intuition told him that Hidan was no good and he had to stop him as soon as possible to avoid unpredictable consequences.

"Rasengan!" With that thought, Jiraiya immediately made a decision in his mind. He stretched out his palm and began to gather chakra in his hand.

As chakra continued to gather, a rapidly spinning Rasengan formed in the center of Jiraiya's palm.

Immediately afterward, Jiraiya rushed toward Hidan, who had not yet finished drawing the magic circle, intending to interrupt him before Hidan could complete his ninjutsu.

Jiraiya swiftly rushed to Hidan's side, and without much hesitation, he slammed the Rasengan in his hand directly into Hidan's chest.

Hidan was hit head-on by Jiraiya's Rasengan attack. The violent spinning force was like a drill, directly tearing the flesh in Hidan's chest into a bloody mess.

After being struck by Jiraiya's Rasengan, Hidan coughed up a mouthful of blood, which sprayed onto Jiraiya's clothes like a fountain.

However, Hidan still hunched over and stretched out his hands, tightly restraining Jiraiya's arms, using all his strength to prevent Jiraiya from further forcing him out of the magic circle.

Hidan opened his blood-stained mouth, a triumphant smile spreading across his face, making him appear even more ferocious: "Hehehe... It's too late! He will be cursed by the Jashin!"

Just before being attacked by Jiraiya, Hidan's foot had already slid to the closing point of the magic circle, and the formation composed of circles and triangles was complete.

Hidan's appearance had already undergone a drastic change through his cursed technique, Death Possession Blood. His entire body had turned black, accompanied by white patterns spreading across his skin.

Jiraiya quickly gathered chakra, further enhancing the power of the Rasengan in his hand. Then, he pushed it forcefully, releasing the full power of the Rasengan onto Hidan.

Hidan's body, under the immense impact of the Rasengan, was thrown away from his spot like a cannonball by Jiraiya.

Hidan's body slid through the air due to the reaction force, eventually crashing into a thick tree and coming to a stop amidst broken branches and dust.

Although Hidan was outside the range of the magic circle when he was knocked away, his body was still within the magic circle when he took Jiraiya's Rasengan head-on. A large part of the damage to his body was returned, but there was no further damage.

"Cough cough... You really went all out. I wonder if he'll be in even more pain after taking this blow since he doesn't have my immortality?"

Hidan struggled to his feet from the fallen leaves, coughed up blood twice, and then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

After getting up, Hidan checked his injuries and found that not only did his chest look terrible, covered in blood and wounds, but several of his ribs were also broken.

"What do you mean by that?" Jiraiya frowned and looked at Hidan warily as he listened to Hidan's nonsensical words.

Hidan did not respond to Jiraiya's question. He simply raised his hand with a mocking smile and pointed his finger in the direction where Boruto and Kakuzu were fighting.

Hidan grinned maliciously, his voice filled with fanaticism: "Enjoy the pain of death to the fullest!" A twisted pleasure arose within him; the pain he felt each time he killed an opponent with a curse seemed to be an indescribable enjoyment for him.

......

Meanwhile, in the battle on the other side, Boruto and Kakuzu stood on opposite sides, their eyes filled with hostility.

"I didn't expect you to be so difficult to deal with, so I'll be serious from now on. It's really annoying to always be led by the nose by you..." Kakuzu said coldly to Boruto, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, Kakuzu's entire body began to tremble violently, and the numerous sutures on his body, which had been stitched up using the Earth Grudge Technique, began to break, making tearing sounds.

Finally, amidst a tremor and a tearing sound, the skin on Kakuzu's back burst open, and three black monsters wearing different masks crawled out, each emanating a different chakra aura.

After releasing his three hearts, Kakuzu used his secret technique to stitch the flesh on his back back together with black threads.

The three monsters of different sizes stood beside Kakuzu. Their appearance completely changed the original one-on-one situation, turning it into a four-on-one battle between Boruto and Kakuzu and his three monsters.

Kakuzu's cold gaze swept over the masked monster beside him, and he said with a self-deprecating laugh, "Speaking of which, it's really embarrassing. I never thought that someone with my rich combat experience would have his heart destroyed by a brat like you."

Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear: Water Release Mask is usually placed on the left side of his body. In his previous confrontation with Boruto, Boruto pierced through his heart.

Kakuzu's multiple hearts can be moved and repositioned at will through his unique vascular system. If he hadn't underestimated his opponent earlier, he would never have lost any of his hearts.

Boruto learned from Kakuzu's words that the person in front of him did not have a heart in another place as he had thought, but rather that he had multiple hearts.

The black monster in front of them is actually a manifestation of Kakuzu's heart; each masked monster represents one of Kakuzu's hearts.

These monsters, along with Kakuzu's own heart, give him a total of four hearts, which is a huge advantage in battle.

If I want to completely defeat Kakuzu, I might need to destroy all of his hearts.
