Chapter 280 - Chapter 280: Scattering Ashes

If only his flames were a bit stronger, burned so even ashes didn't remain, then this guy might really be gone for good.

Haku looked a bit surprised at God King, then looked at the pile of ashes on the ground.

'Even that can't kill him? That's just too far beyond human imagination. But since God King said so, there must be some truth to it.'

After all, this guy from the Evil God Cult possesses an immortal body.

But Zabuza didn't think so.

"God King, this guy has already turned into ashes, so dead he can't be any more dead. It's probably impossible for him to resurrect, right?"

'This Evil God Cult guy now could be said to not have even left a single cell behind. What could he use to resurrect?'

But Ryosuke shook his head. "This guy has a possibility of resurrecting, because on his body is an Evil God curse. You can't judge with common sense. The ninja world is deep with hidden currents."

And he had been thinking about how to deal with this guy's ashes.

Actually, if he had activated the Rinnegan, that would be great. Just one move, Chibaku Tensei, could seal all these ashes inside a giant rock sphere. Even if this guy were something else, there's no way he could escape.

Chibaku Tensei is an extremely powerful sealing technique. Even someone as powerful as Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was sealed and couldn't escape.

He thought this in his heart, but this time his eyes hadn't evolved into the Rinnegan. They didn't respond to his need.

Maybe this time there wasn't enough stimulus, or maybe it wasn't necessary to use Chibaku Tensei to seal ashes. Then he could only use some clumsy methods.

"Zabuza, you take a portion of the ashes and dump them far away. I'll handle the rest."

"Okay, God King."

Zabuza responded, then took out a kunai and a small pouch, bent down, and began scooping the ashes on the ground into the pouch.

After filling half the pouch, he walked toward the distance.

According to Ryosuke's meaning, since this kind of dangerous guy still had the possibility of resurrecting, he must scatter this guy's ashes far, far away.

These ashes were, after all, the guy's body. If they were scattered so far apart, it would probably be almost impossible to gather and revive again.

Of course, in his heart, he still found it hard to believe, already turned into ashes, that shouldn't count as a human body anymore. No matter how you combine it, it shouldn't be able to become a human again.

After Zabuza went far away, he looked at the remaining Hidan's ashes on the ground.

He directly stretched out his palm, swept strongly, and instantly stirred up a strong wind that blew all these ashes far away, swirling toward the distance.

Afterward, he just had to wait for the rain to wash these ashes away to all corners.

If Hidan could revive after that, then that would truly be a ghost story.

Haku looked at this scene, 'God King was so cautious, which showed that this Evil God Cult was truly terrifying. Surely, after scattering the ashes, he couldn't possibly still be alive, right?'

Only after finishing all this did Ryosuke feel much more at ease. Even if this guy could live, it would probably be until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled.

In other words, it was impossible for him to return to the human world again. Unless the Evil God behind him made a move.

For now, there was no need to worry about this anymore. His next destination was the Hidden Sound Village of the Land of Sound.

Orochimaru had built a small hidden village there after leaving the Leaf Village, taking root in a place like the Land of Sound.

This guy is an important scientific research talent. He has quite a bit of research ability to help the Uchiha Clan increase its power.

The Uchiha Clan's power lies in those eyes. To awaken those eyes, one must experience extremely painful and sorrowful things. In simpler terms, it's basically a 'sacrifice your friends and family' ritual, and then you gain great power.

This flaw must be overcome. The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, believed that the power the Uchiha gained like this was extremely evil.

He understood that the Uchiha had more love than anyone else, and when they lost it, they awakened the evil Sharingan.

So he believed the Uchiha were an evil clan.

That's just total nonsense.

When others go through pain and sorrow, also losing friends and family, their minds would also become twisted.

One could say, everyone is like that, or everyone should be like that.

Those without power naturally can't take revenge, so of course they aren't dangerous. But those with power will obviously take angry revenge.

Whether it's Uchiha Madara, Obito, Nagato, or the next one, Orochimaru, it's all the same.

Orochimaru could be said to be Tobirama Senju's grand-disciple generation. He wasn't Uchiha.

But now he's become very evil, so evil that he gets excited doing human experiments and doesn't care about ordinary people's lives.

Even Danzo, who participated in human experiments, was like this. Even the Third Hokage was like this.

So naturally, you can't say the Uchiha Clan is evil.

When an ordinary person becomes evil, the key point lies in what they went through. If they encounter misfortune, their thoughts naturally become extreme.

Even an ordinary person can undergo such a transformation.

At the start, they might be a cheerful, sunny person, but if they experience enough sadness, pain, and suffering, they'll also become an evil person. This is all very normal.

Although Ryosuke didn't bring Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan this time, so he couldn't use the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, on Orochimaru. Because he didn't expect to come to the Land of Sound this time, he naturally hadn't prepared.

But that didn't stop him from using his own eyes to quickly control Orochimaru, then drag him back to the village, and then use Shisui's Mangekyo to control and alter his thoughts and memories.

If such a talented person were killed, it would be a real waste. It would be better to turn him into a puppet and make good use of him.

As for the power of his eyes, it was definitely stronger than Shisui's. To control Orochimaru would be an easy task.

Half an hour later, Zabuza returned.

"God King, the matter is handled."

Ryosuke was very reassured and didn't ask for details. Next, he led Haku and Zabuza to set off toward the Land of Sound.

Because to get to the Land of Waterfalls, and the Land of Earth after that, they had to pass through the Land of Sound.

———

In just two days, the three of them passed through the Land of Hot Water and entered the borders of the Land of Sound.

The Land of Sound wasn't as prosperous as the Land of Hot Water.

The Land of Hot Water was a famous hot spring destination in the ninja world, a tourist destination, with fairly developed commerce and many places to enjoy.

The Land of Sound, on the other hand, was not like that. It was a small, poor country. Almost no places for recreation. So their travel speed increased quite a bit.

Ryosuke instructed Zabuza, "Go inquire about the route to the Hidden Sound Village, then come back and tell me."

"Understood, God King. But... why do we need to go to the Hidden Sound Village?"

Zabuza was a bit confused. Hidden Sound was just a small ninja village, and it didn't have any tailed beast Jinchuriki.

Ryosuke didn't plan to hide it from Zabuza. "We're going to find Orochimaru. That guy is hiding in the Hidden Sound Village."

Zabuza was a little surprised. 'Orochimaru was one of the Legendary Sannin from the Leaf Village, but had long since defected. Why would God King be looking for him?'

Though still puzzled, he didn't ask further. Instead, he immediately set out to find the route to the Hidden Sound Village.

Ryosuke continued onward with Haku.
