Chapter 270 Investigating the Evil Cult

After entering the house, the middle-aged woman quickly found a seat for Naruto and the others, then diligently poured them some steaming hot tea before speaking again.

Her eyes glanced at the banknotes in Naruto's hand from time to time, as if she was afraid that the banknotes would suddenly grow wings and fly away.

"This evil cult, I don't know when it appeared in our country of Chuan."

She frowned slightly, with a look of disgust on her face, "Those people are fooling people everywhere all day long, saying things like as long as you join the evil cult you will be blessed and you won't have to worry about anything in the future, but it's all lies!" As she spoke, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

Then, she continued, "They specifically target those who are living in poverty. When those poor people hear that they can live a good life, many of them are fooled and join without knowing why. As a result, not only do they not live a good life after joining, but they also have to hand in the little money they have saved up with great difficulty, saying that it is for offering to the evil god. Humph, that's not all. Some young people have never returned since they joined the evil god cult. Rumor has it that the evil god seems to really exist, and those young people who didn't return were said to have been sacrificed to the evil god."

Then, the middle-aged woman paused, then subconsciously lowered her voice and continued, "In the past few years, children have been missing in our country of Chuan. No one can find them alive, and no one can find their bodies after they die. There are rumors that they were abducted by the evil cult."

There was a hint of fear and worry in her eyes, as if those terrible things were happening right before her eyes.

Sasuke, Kimimaro, and Naruto looked at each other.

They all became interested in this so-called evil cult.

Naruto then handed the banknotes in his hand to the middle-aged woman.

Let him book a big room for the three of them.

After entering the room, Naruto asked the two, "How about it, are you interested in this evil cult?"

Sasuke leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, a disdainful arc on his lips: "Humph, it doesn't sound like a serious organization, but I'll see what tricks they can come up with."

A hint of curiosity appeared on Kimimaro's pale face: "It is indeed a bit strange. This kind of bewitching sect may hide some unknown secrets."

Naruto scratched his blond hair, his eyes flashing with excitement as dazzling as stars, and he couldn't wait to say: "Do you know? There is a guy named Feidan in the Akatsuki organization, he is a follower of the evil god cult. During the Chunin Exam some time ago, I fought with him. That guy was a tough opponent, but I was strong and easily defeated him! Speaking of which, his strength is not that strong, at least compared with some powerful characters we have encountered. But his weird abilities are really a headache."

Naruto said while gesturing with his hands, "This guy has a kind of abnormal immortality. Can you imagine? Even if he is cut into several pieces, he will not die, like a monster that can't be destroyed. Moreover, he has an ability that cannot be more special. He can obtain the blood of his opponent. Once he gets the blood, it will be a big trouble. As long as he stands in a strange sacrificial formation and causes damage to himself, this damage will be transferred intact to the person whose blood is obtained. People who are not familiar with his methods will inevitably suffer a great loss."

After saying that, Naruto turned his gaze towards the two of them. Then he continued, "How about it, are you more interested in this evil cult after listening to what I said?" Naruto's face was full of anticipation, and the excitement in his eyes was like discovering a new treasure, and his eager eyes swept across Sasuke and Kimimaro's faces.

Sasuke snorted lightly, crossed his arms over his chest, and tilted his head slightly: "Hmph, these are just some unorthodox tricks. However, this evil cult can give its followers such strange abilities, it seems that they are not ordinary people. It is necessary to explore it in depth." His eyes became sharp, as if he had regarded this evil cult as a new challenge target.

Kimimaro nodded slightly, his eyes steady and deep: "Indeed, this ability is unheard of. If they have other believers with similar abilities, it will be a great threat. We need to find out as soon as possible to avoid more trouble in the future." His tone was flat, but with an unquestionable firmness.

Naruto grinned, showing his white teeth: "Then it's settled, we'll go catch a cultist tonight and test the waters."

Sasuke frowned: "Don't be impulsive, let's collect more information first, we can't act rashly."

Kimimaro also agreed, "Sasuke is right. We still know too little about the Evil God Cult. We can't infer the situation of the entire organization just from Hidan alone."

Naruto muttered reluctantly, "Alright then, we'll spend a few more days investigating."

The next day, Naruto went around the streets of Konoha Village asking for information about the evil cult.

The evil cult has been wreaking havoc on this land for a long time. Their evil deeds have caused great harm to the villagers, and everyone hates them to the extreme.

Because of this, the villagers were very willing to share the information they knew with the enthusiastic and friendly Naruto, and Naruto gained a lot from it.

Among the many stories, an old man recalled: "I often saw a group of guys wearing strange black robes late at night. There were strange patterns on those black robes, as if they carried some mysterious power. They behaved very strangely and walked like puppets without souls. They often entered a cave near the village in groups. There was a gloomy atmosphere around the cave."

On Sasuke's side, with his excellent tracking ability, he closely followed the trail of several suspected followers of the evil cult.

He was like a ghost, hiding in the dark, watching their every move.

After tracking for several days, Sasuke discovered that late at night, these people would rush towards the mysterious forest outside the village. It seemed that the forest had some kind of huge attraction, or it might be hiding the evil cult's unspeakable secrets.

Kimimaro's actions were even more daring. Relying on his unique abilities and cool head, he chose to join the evil god cult and acted as a devout evil god believer.

In the group of believers, he carefully concealed his true purpose, always paying attention to everything around him, trying to dig out the core secrets of the evil cult from within.
