Hidan's face bore a look of arrogant pride.

On his left hand, which gripped the blood-red scythe, there was a ring.

The ring had the character "three" on it.

Hidan bent slightly forward.

The special pendant on his neck swung with his movements.

He also wore a headband with a slash across it.

"Hehehe..."

"I love those who aren't afraid to die!"

"I hope you make it impossible for me to kill you!"

Hidan's voice sounded, and his eyes were shining with pride. Looking at the entire ninja world, there were only a few people who could not be killed by him.

Especially not this First Hokage, who was even weaker than Kakuzu!

In truth.

Hidan knew.

Even if it was his partner Kakuzu, he could kill him by stabbing his heart a few more times.

He just gave his old partner some face!

With that said!

Hidan swung his blood-red scythe, the crimson blade whirling around his body.

Then.

Hidan leaned back slightly, gathering strength in his waist.

Harnessing the power of his entire body.

He hurled the blood-red scythe straight at the First Hokage...

Whoosh!

The scythe sliced through the air, trailing its extendable rope, rushing straight at the First Hokage.

"Hahahahaha!"

Hidan laughed maniacally as the scythe flew, his blood-red eyes fixed on Hashirama, a glint of eager anticipation in them.

This First Hokage looked strong!

His blood must be delicious.

He couldn't wait to taste it!

Hidan licked his lips, already imagining the scene of stabbing himself with the black spear after tasting Hashirama's blood.

However...

To Hidan's surprise.

Hashirama stood still, unmoved, watching the approaching scythe without even blinking.

Huh?

Hidan was puzzled.

Was he...

Giving up?

Was he really this weak?

And this kind of person wanted to join the Akatsuki?

Hidan's gaze grew more disdainful, his cold smile widening. He increasingly believed this man was all name and no skill.

Thud!

The blood-red scythe struck Hashirama's head, slicing into his body.

The cut area.

Looked like a piece of paper being torn.

No blood flowed out!

Whoosh!

Hidan quickly retracted the scythe, gripping it tightly in his right hand, staring at the blade with confusion.

"No blood?"

Hidan's eyelid twitched slightly as he looked up at the First Hokage, whom he had just partially cleaved.

This didn't make sense!

He had clearly hit a vital spot!

How could there be no effect at all?!

Hidan was stunned.

He had never encountered anyone like this!

Even if he stabbed himself, he would still bleed!

How could this person not bleed?

"I don't believe it!"

Hidan swung the blood-red scythe at the First Hokage again.

Whoosh!

The scythe cut through the air once more, this time with much greater force, as if it intended to cleave the First Hokage in half.

However...

This time.

Hashirama did not allow the scythe to strike him. He gently raised his hand and caught the blade in mid-air.

Smack!

The sound of Hashirama's hand catching the blade was crisp and clear, his immense strength firmly holding the scythe in place.

"What?!"

Hidan was shocked that the First Hokage had suddenly retaliated. He hadn't done so earlier!

As Hidan stared in surprise, the cleaved half of Hashirama's body seamlessly rejoined, the marks on his body filled in by the swirling dust, as if he had never been injured.

"You hit me earlier."

"Not because you could."

"But because I let you."

"The gap between us isn't just in strength."

"Even if I stood still."

"You still wouldn't be able to harm me!"

Hashirama wouldn't let Hidan land a second blow, as it would be pointless.

An Edo Tensei body.

Would not bleed.

Immortal.

In a way, this was the perfect counter to Hidan's Jashinist abilities.

Hidan couldn't draw any blood at all.

And even if he could, how could he kill someone who was already dead twice?

Suddenly.

Hashirama's arm tensed, his right hand gripping the blood-red scythe, his left hand pulling on its chain.

The other end of the chain was attached to Hidan's waist.

Instantly.

Hidan felt a powerful force yanking his waist, causing him to lurch forward, his whole body flying through the air.

The distance between them closed rapidly.

Smack!

With a sharp sound, Hashirama's hand gripped Hidan's neck, his fingers like iron clamps, making it impossible for Hidan to break free.

"Feeling comfortable now?"

Hashirama looked at Hidan indifferently, his gaze devoid of any emotion. He didn't believe Hidan was truly immortal. Even without resorting to the Truth-Seeking Balls, Hashirama knew that complete dismemberment would render Hidan incapable of recovery without external assistance.

"I..."

Hidan felt his body being lifted, his legs kicking futilely as he struggled to break free from Hashirama's grasp.

"Kakuzu!"

"What are you standing there for?!"

"This guy's power restrains me!"

"Finish him off quickly!"

"If you still consider me your partner, stab him hard!"

Hidan shouted desperately, realizing that without Hashirama's blood, his abilities were useless.

It's fine!

So what if I'm restrained!

I'm not fighting alone anymore!

I have a partner!

Hidan decisively called out to Kakuzu for help. After years of hearing Hashirama's name from Kakuzu, he had been subtly influenced, almost brainwashed.

"..."

Kakuzu watched Hidan's frantic struggle, his own back drenched with sweat.

Hidan has doomed me!

Stab him? Yeah right!

Who could possibly harm the First Hokage!

Kakuzu's scalp tingled with fear. Money was the least of his concerns now. Survival was paramount.

As long as he could stay alive.

Everything else would follow!

"Oh, I see."

Hashirama's lips curved into a slight smile as he shifted his gaze to Kakuzu.

With just that one look.

Kakuzu took three steps back in terror!

"Don't worry."

"One at a time."

"No one's escaping!"

"Let's settle your issue first."

"You hit me once."

"Now, I'll return the favor!"

Hashirama's eyes locked onto Hidan, his demeanor relaxed, as if they were having a casual conversation rather than a battle.

Then.

A surge of powerful chakra.

Erupted from Hashirama's palm...
