Chapter 142 Holy (Evil) Religion

Meanwhile, in the basement of the biggest cathedral in Yugakure.

In the middle is a huge blood pool that is constantly bubbling, but strangely, there is no bloody stench around, and only a fresh and natural atmosphere.

In front of this blood pool, a kind-looking old man stood quietly, looking at the blood pond with incomparably frenzied eyes.

Behind him, there are dozens of Yugakure's Shinobi with the same frenzied eyes.

The old man loudly shouted in a chanting gesture, "Come on, the perfect vessel for the Holy Spirit-sama will be born soon, we need more sacrifices!"

Everyone in the audience shouted frantically, "Sacrifice! Sacrifice!"

But at this moment, a discordant voice came from the crowd, "Bishop-sama, Konoha's Shinobi and Kumogakure's Shinobi have already come to investigate. Should we slow down the progress a little and wait for them to leave before continuing with the sacrifice for our Holy Spirit-sama?"

The bishop frowned and said, "Are the trifling Kumogakure and Konoha is worth delaying the coming of the Holy Spirit-sama?"

"Trifling Kumogakure and Konoha?" The Shinobi can't help but was dazed, 'Has bishop-sama been out of touch with the outside world for too long?'

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reminded, "I heard that among the people Konoha sent to investigate this time, there is Shimizu Sōseki who demonstrated extraordinary exploits during the war. He is the top combat power who can control a war with his presence. He is even called the existence of the Great Devil King by many of Kumogakure's Shinobi!"

Unexpectedly, the bishop was not surprised but instead exclaimed with delight, "That's great, the Konoha's Shinobi last time was already worth ten offerings per one, so if that Shimizu Sōseki you said was really so powerful, maybe he alone could be worth a hundred sacrifices! When the time comes, the day of evil...cough cough, of the Holy Spirit-sama's awakening will definitely arrive as soon as possible!"

At this moment, a sudden sound of footsteps rang.

The group of in front of the blood pool hurriedly turned to look towards the entrance and a group of Shinobi wearing Konoha's forehead protector appeared in their sight.

The bishop's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, "How did you find this place?"

Kurenai snapped her fingers and said lightly, "After determining the target, a Genjutsu is all it need."

Asuma shrugged helplessly and said, "You take the initiative to send the men who know all of the information to us, are you stupid?"

Mizuki said with cold killing-intent, "Idiot!"

The bishop was so angry that his face turned red. After all, he was inexperienced as this was the first time him being the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Rude people, the Holy Spirit-sama will punish you!"

Sōseki asked coldly, "Where is our Konoha's Shinobi?"

"Konoha's Shinobi? They have become part of Holy Spirit-sama!" The bishop's eyes turned fierce, "Don't worry, you will meet them soon!"

"Believers, let these blasphemers see your strength, and let them repent under the glory of the Holy Spirit-sama!"

Except for a very small number of Shinobi who had joined recently and are still hesitating, the remaining villagers and Shinobi rushed towards Sōseki and the others like crazy.

Although these people looked ferocious, in fact, most of them were not even Shinobi. Moreover, Shinobi from Five Great Shinobi Villages and Shinobi from Small Shinobi Village are always on different dimension, so Sōseki and the others are naturally very calm.

"Sōseki, leave these guys to us!"

"You can just rest on the side!"

Sōseki then reminded, "This religion is probably related to blood. Be careful not to bleed or get their blood on your body!"

"Understood!"

After taking action, Mizuki rushed directly towards the bishop.

When the other party said that he wanted to kill Sōseki, he couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it.

"Mizuki is so cunning!"

"Forget it, let's go find someone else!"

There are many people who are eyeing this bishop, but they don't plan to fight for it with Mizuki.

Seeing Mizuki rushing towards him, the bishop said calmly, "Rude person, let me show you the Holy Spirit-sama's... pufft!"

Before he could finish speaking, his heart was pierced by a kunai, and then he fell down in disbelief.

"That's it? Sure enough, he's an idiot!" Mizuki dismissed it, and immediately turned around and walked towards the others.

But at this moment, a faint sound of breaking the air suddenly came from behind him.

Before he could think about it, Mizuki subconsciously dodge to the side.

At the next moment, a short sword slashed down towards his original position.

'It's dangerous!' Mizuki turned his to look, and then suddenly his eyes widened.

He saw that the bishop who should have died came back to life, grabbed the short sword with a grin and slashed towards him.

'How is it possible? Is it Body Replacement Technique?' But Mizuki quickly denied this guess, 'No, his heart was indeed pierced by me!'

At this time, there were also slightly panicked voices from other directions.

"How can these people not be killed?"

"Are they all immortal monsters?"

"Use Fire Release to burn these monsters to death!"

Argh!

It didn't take long for screams of pain to sound one after another in the basement, and piles of ashes soon appeared on the ground.

"Phew! It scared me to death!"

"I thought they were really monsters that couldn't be killed!"

Just when everyone relaxed a little, Mizuki's solemn voice came from the other direction.

"No, Fire Release can't kill him!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that Mizuki was being chased by a monster that was on fire.

"Hahahaha! Don't compare me to those defective products, my body is the masterpiece of the Holy Spirit-sama!"

Having said that, when he was burned by the fire, he still inevitably let out a scream of pain.

It is obvious that his ability didn't make him immune to pain.

'Sure enough, it's Hidan's ability, but it seems to be slightly inferior to Hidan!' Sōseki watched quietly from a distance.

He could feel that after the bishop's heart was pierced, his aura actually became a little weaker. By repeating this process hundreds of times should be able to kill the other party.

'Speaking of which, this ability seems to be somewhat similar to Impure World Reincarnation. Physical attacks and ordinary chakra attacks almost won't work against it. In that case, how about soul attacks?' Sōseki quickly formed hand seals with both hands.

Spirit Transformation Technique!

The bishop, who was "chasing" Mizuki, only felt that something had passed through his body. At the next moment, he hugged his head and knelt on the ground, while screaming piercingly.

"Argh! What kind of power is this? Why is my body collapsing? Impossible, impossible, no one can really hurt me!"

Everyone subconsciously looked towards Sōseki, just in time to see a white light returning to his body.

"It turned out that captain has taken action!"

"As expected of Sōseki, even this kind of monster that can't be killed was killed by him!"

Hear the praise of these Shinobi, the bishop roared unwillingly, "Damn, my body is still not perfect. If it is my real perfect body, it is absolutely impossible for me to be killed by you Shinobi!"

"Just you wait, you sinners will definitely be punished by the Holy...Jashin-sama!"

Sōseki naturally does not care about the other party's curse, but secretly thought in his heart, 'It really is the soul. Does it reflect the reality with the power of the soul?'

'In the original work, the soul of Orochimaru's both hands was taken away by the Shinigami, causing his hands to become unusable and Minato's soul did not have hands when he ascended to heaven. It is likely that the Truth-Seeking Ball has destroyed the soul of both of his hands, which led to him losing his hands even in Impure World Reincarnation's state.'

Thinking of this, a ripple appeared in Sōseki's calm and composed heart, 'If the soul is strong enough, maybe a normal human body can do this too?'

At this moment, Asuma's voice came from the blood pool, "You guys, come and have a look, there is a child alive here!"
