Task: New Immortal Duo (Second Stage Open)

Akagi Shinsuke listened to the system's voice and felt elated.

As a qualified transmigrator, how could he not have a golden finger to rely on?

Due to an accident, he found himself at the scene of the Evil God cult's summoning ritual, which brought this body back to life and granted him incomplete immortality, along with activating the system.

However, this system he obtained was somewhat unconventional. To put it mildly, it was particularly... bizarre.

The activation condition was to be cursed at least once!

If he hadn't 'woken up' during the Jashin summoning ritual and received the curse from the Evil God, it would have been nearly impossible to activate this peculiar system.

Of course, the so-called Jashin summoning ritual was actually a taboo human experiment conducted by the cult.

Logically, the world of Naruto shouldn't have such things as Evil Gods, but since the peculiar system accepted it, he would rather not delve into it too deeply. If one could get away with such a bargain, why not?

After all, if even Death Gods exist, adding a few Evil Gods doesn't seem too far-fetched.

He just didn't expect that the system would have so many bizarre operations.

Not only did the starter package inexplicably give him a curse, but the tasks issued were also quite absurd.

Of course, there were absolutely no penalties for failure; one could take it or leave it!

The system explained that it couldn't make the host a puppet of the system, otherwise, some wise guy would jump out and find faults, or something like that...

What an unbeatable excuse!

If he had another choice, he would have immediately uninstalled this strange system!

At worst, he would have exploded on the spot and taken it down with him!

Fortunately, he held back.

And after much effort, he finally completed the first stage of this troublesome task...

Thus, he obtained the cursed technique and cursed spirit value he urgently needed, solving an immediate problem.

"System, open my personal interface."

PS: 'Brother, you torment me a thousand times, but I still love you like my first love', sob sob sob~

Damn!

When he first received this task, Shinsuke did try to build a good relationship with Hidan. After all, without knowing the weaknesses of [Immortality] and [Death by Blood], Hidan's lethality would definitely be at the BUG level!

No matter how strong an elite jōnin or even a kage-level warrior is, once caught in Hidan's trap, they would be killed in minutes!

And Hidan was essentially a peak-level existence right from the start, requiring no rigorous training, as long as he learned [Death by Blood], that would be enough.

Having such a companion around would naturally be very reassuring.

Of course, the premise was that you could tolerate Hidan's arrogant and talkative side.

But unfortunately, Hidan just couldn't stand him. Forget building a good relationship; just avoiding a fight whenever they met was already considered a win.

So screw it!

He wasn't going to be a bootlicker; he would never be a dog!

'Brother, you torment me a thousand times, but I still love you like my first love'?

Fine!

But it's going to be the other way around!

He would make Hidan into his own shape!

If future Itachi knew about this, he would probably exclaim how skilled he was!

In the end, with a smirk and a loving smile.

Shinsuke also decided to imitate this Konoha elder and let Hidan understand what the consequences of offending the 'Abbot' would be!

Although it sounded easy to say, it was quite challenging to put into practice, and finding the right balance was tough.

Shinsuke had only managed to achieve the 100 affinity value required for the first stage of the task after much provocation, which was rather lamentable.

But Shinsuke did not give up on this 'golden road'!

After a month of adjustments, he had gradually mastered some tips and believed that as he became more proficient, the task completion progress would accelerate.

He would eventually shape Hidan to his will.

After all... the task rewards were too tempting!

Ignoring the lamentable curses, Shinsuke focused on the newly acquired, and currently the only usable, cursed technique.

Cursed techniques are a form of power hidden in the bloodline and released after combining with spiritual energy, generally driven by cursed energy.

Cursed energy, as the name suggests, is a special mental energy extracted from human negative emotions.

Therefore, the combination of the two often results in tremendous destruction or produces many incredible effects.

For instance, [Death by Blood] which kills enemies by killing oneself!

And now Shinsuke had obtained... Blood Manipulation!

This was a technique passed down through the Kamo family, one of the three major cursed techniques in [Jujutsu Kaisen]. Although it seemed weaker compared to the other two families...

But for someone like him who was currently destitute, he had no right to be picky.

More importantly, with this cursed technique, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

PS: The setting of cursed energy and cursed techniques follows this book's rules and can be seen as a special transformation of chakra. Sticklers for accuracy, please stay away~
