"Ding!"
"The System detected an Anger value of +1000 from Sunagakure Ninja A!"
"Ding!"
"The System detected a Fear value of +4000 from Sunagakure Ninja B!"
"Ding!"
"The System detected a Fear value of +4000 from Sunagakure Ninja C!"
"Ding!"
"The System detected a Hatred value of +5000 from Sunagakure Ninja D!"
"Ding!"
...
The notification sounds in Shiratori Rin's mind never ceased.
He looked at the scene before him, his expression complex.
Immortal Master's hands rested on the two Sunagakure Ninja.
This time, there was no explosion.
But the two Sunagakure Ninja began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One Sunagakure Ninja's legs were forcibly fused together, turning into a thick tail; his spine bent backward into an exaggerated arc, the pain on his face instantly vanished, and he rapidly lunged to bite the Sunagakure Ninja next to him.
The other Sunagakure Ninja's head was elongated, his mouth split open to his ears, filled with shark-like sharp teeth, and his limbs transformed into the shape of a frog.
The Sunagakure Ninja transformed into Modified Humans by Immortal Master had no reason, only instinctive, violent killing intent.
They charged towards their former comrades, their sharp teeth tearing at the bodies of those they once fought alongside.
"Mon...monsters!"
"Don't come closer!"
"Yamada! It's me! Ah—"
"Brother! Brother! How could you... Ah—"
The Modified Human's giant mouth, full of sharp teeth, bit into a Sunagakure Ninja's shoulder, tearing and shaking him madly like a crocodile.
"Ding!"
"The System detected a Fear value of +3000 from Sunagakure Ninja E!"
"Ding!"
"The System detected a Hatred value of +5000 from Sunagakure Ninja G!"
"Currently, a total of 35,000 Fear value has been collected. Your Cursed Spirit Hanami's Rank has increased to 52.5%!"
"Currently, a total of 21,000 Hatred value has been collected. Your Cursed Spirit Immortal Master's Rank has increased to 47%!"
"Currently, a total of 11,000 Anger value has been collected. Your Cursed Spirit Jogo's Rank has increased to 41%!"
Shiratori Rin: "..."
Immortal Master not only earned emotional value for himself but also for the other Cursed Spirits; these three Cursed Spirits truly lived up to being good brothers!
The smile on Immortal Master's face never faded; he seemed to be watching a circus performance, letting out high-pitched, joyful laughter.
Shiratori Rin finally understood why Immortal Master's prefix was 'Extremely Evil Cursed Spirit'.
When Immortal Master truly appeared before him and transformed humans in front of him, the pure, extreme malice that erupted shocked Shiratori Rin.
Immortal Master's laughter echoed over the battlefield as he excitedly scanned the "performances" of each Modified Human.
Fewer and fewer Sunagakure Ninja remained standing.
The Rain Ninja stood silently to the side, watching the scene before them.
Even though they had experienced countless bloody battlefields, they were deeply shocked by the blasphemous and terrifying sight before their eyes.
Isou's knuckles were slightly white from clenching too hard.
He had seen Lord Hanzō's poisonous mist devour lives, seen Ninjutsu crush Ninja into flesh, but he had never seen... such a scene where living people were twisted into monsters and then driven to tear at their own comrades.
Shiratori Rin observed the expressions of the surrounding Rain Ninja.
This couldn't continue.
Although Immortal Master could collect emotional value for him on the battlefield, accordingly, Immortal Master would affect his image in the hearts of the Amegakure Ninja.
This was not conducive to Shiratori Rin collecting positive emotional value!
A deep purple Uzumaki appeared behind Immortal Master.
The smile on Immortal Master's face paused.
He turned and looked towards Shiratori Rin.
The next second.
His figure was swallowed by the Uzumaki.
"See you next time~"
His voice came from within the Uzumaki.
After Immortal Master disappeared, Shiratori Rin felt as if his strength had been drained, unable to support his body, and he half-knelt on the ground.
"Rin!"
His action quickly attracted Isou's attention.
Isou flashed to Shiratori Rin's side, supporting his arm, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Many Rain Ninja gathered around Shiratori Rin, looking at him nervously, afraid that something had happened to Shiratori Rin.
"I... I can't control... it..."
Shiratori Rin said weakly.
Isou and the surrounding Rain Ninja instantly understood what Shiratori Rin meant by "it."
This was the first time Isou had truly witnessed Shiratori Rin's cursed power.
"I can only control it... not to harm you all..."
Shiratori Rin gasped violently, his face pale, his voice weak and breathless.
"Ding!"
"The System detected a Gratitude value of +1000 from Isou!"
"Ding!"
"The System detected a Gratitude value of +1000 from Hirushi!"
...
"Currently, a total of 30,000 Gratitude value has been collected. Your Cursed Spirit Land God's Rank has increased to 82.3%!"
"Don't speak yet!"
"Rest well!"
Isou immediately urged.
He squatted in front of Shiratori Rin, turned his head, and said, "Get on!"
Shiratori Rin shook his head, forcing himself to say, "I can do it myself!"
Hirushi picked up Shiratori Rin and tossed him onto Isou's back.
Shiratori Rin: "..."
He looked at Hirushi.
Hirushi was expressionless: "You already consumed a lot of Chakra crossing the Sandstorm Zone earlier... and just now you controlled your curse, you should listen to Isou and rest well!"
The reason Hirushi paused was that he didn't sense any Chakra on Shiratori Rin.
But without Chakra, how could Shiratori Rin use Ninjutsu?
It must be because Shiratori Rin possessed some unique Ninjutsu that could conceal Chakra.
Shiratori Rin was carried on Isou's back; he weakly leaned against Isou's back, and soon after, he closed his eyes.
Isou heard the steady breathing from behind him.
He said he could still hold on...
A hint of heartache flashed in Isou's eyes.
Hirushi turned to look at the Modified Humans and ordered the Rain Ninja, "Kill them."
"Yes!"
The Rain Ninja swarmed forward.
The bodies of Modified Humans and Sunagakure Ninja littered the entire camp.
The Rain Ninja sighed in relief, a bewildered expression on their faces.
"We just won?"
"Nonsense!"
"Hehe! I just feel it's unreal!"
"Me too!"
"It feels much easier than before!"
"It's because Rin is here, right!"
"He gave us the advantage of high-altitude combat, catching the Hidden Sand Village off guard!"
"..."
Listening to the discussions of the Rain Ninja, Hirushi pulled out a signal flare and fired it into the sky above.
"They won't hurt anyone..."
"I won't let anyone get hurt..."
"Don't be afraid of me..."
Shiratori Rin, in a deep sleep, murmured softly.
His voice was faint, but Ninja possessed exceptionally keen senses.
Moreover, the battlefield was now silent, and his delirium clearly reached the ears of the Rain Ninja.
"Ding!"
"The System detected a Gratitude value of +1000 from Rose Moon!"
"Ding!"
"The System detected a Gratitude value of +1000 from Maru Tobi!"
"Ding!"
...
"Currently, a total of 39,000 Gratitude value has been collected. Your Cursed Spirit Land God's Rank has increased to 86.2%!"
"Dear, you sleep so soundly~ You're even talking in your sleep~"
Shiratori Rin: "..."
On the other side of the border.
Outside the Amegakure camp.
The Rain Ninja looked at the rising red smoke in the distance, excited smiles appearing on their faces.
"The combat plan succeeded!"
"We won!"
The welcoming team immediately ran towards the Sunagakure defensive camp on the Land of Wind border.
