The more Aoto talked the more the face of Hidan got ugly. He had never met anyone who knew of his technique. Those who came to know of it were dead to begin with so the technique never got spread. This is the first time someone made him feel naked. And he felt aggrieved and angry hearing how concisely Aoto was able to know about him and his weakness. 

"You bastard. Who the fuck are you?" Hidan shouted. One could easily see the veins on his forehead on the backdrop of his pale skin. 

"I thought you knew of us since you ambushed us." Aoto said. While Hidan and Aoto were talking, the others were taken aback by the new information that Aoto just delivered. 

Immortality? Tasting blood to inflict death upon others? How broken was this man? 

But then again, his weaknesses were apparent if one knew of this. Hidan didn't waste any more time on them and threw the scythe at Aoto out of anger and fury. As the scythe came near Aoto, there was a loud clink sound. It was Corazon who had just stopped the blade with his bare hands. 

"Hahahaha.. What an idiot.. Catching blade with barehand." Hidan laughed out loud. He then pulled the scythe and this was where he got the shock of his life. He couldn't pull the blade at all. The blade was sharp so it should just slice through flesh while being coated with blood. But there was none. 

He couldn't even move the scythe, and no form of blood could be seen. 

"What is this? .. What.. What are you made of?" Hidan was horrified when he saw some catching the blades and not suffering any consequences. But after a second he let go of the blade. There were no blood marks or scars on the hands of Corazon. 

"You have progressed well in Haki." Aoto said. 

"Not enough.. I should have been able to break the blade but I can't maintain it for a long time." Corazon said and a bit embarrassed. Aoto also sighed, thinking about how Luffy was able to make great strides in Haki very fast. 

Hidan didn't pay attention and because he didn't have Kakuzu around to calm and let his intrusive thoughts take precedence, he attacked again. This time Corazon didn't need to act as Aoto lifted his and made a serpahim shield that blocked the attack. 

Hidan lunged forward, his movements swift and brutal. His blade clashed against the mystical shields, sending sparks of orange colored energy cascading in all directions. Aoto responded in kind, wielding the arcane forces with finesse and precision.

Hidan's strikes were relentless, but Aoto defended himself well. Corazon and Guy wanted to go and help him but Kisuke stopped them.

"See carefully, Aoto is enjoying. Let him face his opponent."

After a bout of attacks, Hidan gasped for air. By this time, one of the blades in the scythe had been broken and Hidan looked like someone who had seen a ghost. He had fought against ninjas before so he knew what kind of tricks were employed. He had even faced genjutsu before, but he had come out victorious at the end. The genjutsu were never at the level of Itachi's so it was useless to him. 

But the techniques Aoto employed were something he had never seen before. Defending with the weird shaped shields, conjuring whips made of light, huge roots coming out of the ground to hold him down and even a couple of hands coming from behind to knock him down. There were bruises all over him. 

"What the fuck are you?" Hidan laughed manically when he asked that. He had been vying for the blood of this guy but there was nothing to cheer for uptil this point.

"I should be the one asking this question to you." Aoto got angry in return and question him. Aoto was really curious about the whole thing of Hidan, but he never got to know. Maybe this time he would get to know about it. 

Hidan smiled at Aoto. 

In response, Aoto made a small hand sign and in the next moment, a red colored band came out of the hands. The red colored bright and glowing rope was thick and seemed to be boiling with magma, and within seconds the ropes flew out and caught the wrists of Hidan who was trying to break away. 

Hidan might not have been able to land a proper bruise or hit on Aoto but that didn't mean he was a nobody. In fact, Aoto was actually scared of him. This guy fought head to head against Asuma and come out killing him, even after the fact that Shikamaru was helping him at the time. 

Though Hidan's technique played a huge part in the win, and they didn't know that he was an immortal to begin with, it still couldn't be denied that Hidan won at the end. In fact, Aoto was expecting to lose and Kisuke coming forward to help him. 

But this Hidan was quite young and he seemed to be a little inexperienced. But even then he was being careful and used bands of Cyttorak to pull him down. These bands were very powerful and Doctor Strange had used them in the fight against Thanos so one could guess how powerful these bands were.

Hidan cried out in pain as the bands were actually very hot and hurt him. His pain tolerance was actually very high but these were magical bands to begin with and one would need infinity stones in order to nullify the pain that actually went beyond hurting mortal flesh of his. 

"What the fuck are you? I will cut you up you bastards. I will feed your hands, your torso, your legs to Lord Jashin, only then I can rest in peace. Hahahahah.." Hidan was slowly losing himself as he screamed more profanities. 

Aoto held him and was ready to just end this guy here since he would be a menace later but suddenly Kisuke, Corazon and Shikuro looked in one direction particularly.
