After spending over a month together, Hidan knew Naruto very well.
He was absolutely not someone to mess with.
"I won't take this lying down! I'm the mighty Evil God, and I got slapped by a human?! No way I'm letting that slide!"
"Don't think being handsome means you can do whatever you want! Take this—Evil Energy Beam!!"
"Ha! Ha! Haaa!!"
The Cauliflower Snake clapped her hands together in front of her, and a red energy orb began to form, growing thicker with every cheer from her childish voice.
Even Naruto could feel the energy surging from it—it was on par with a Tailed Beast Bomb.
If that thing exploded inside the cave, it would flatten the entire mountain.
But while the chakra was powerful, Naruto could tell—
She had no control.
It was pure brute force—clumsy and unfocused.
She was kind of like Kaguya, that dumb, overpowered sweetheart:
All stats, no skill.
Hidan let out a strangled groan and started wriggling away like a worm, trying to escape.
The instant the blood-red energy beam blasted toward Naruto, his figure vanished from its path.
Flying Thunder God!
When Naruto reappeared atop the white dolphin, the entire island behind them erupted in a red, sky-piercing explosion.
The blast shook the entire island violently.
As the energy dissipated, the Cauliflower Snake stared at the now-empty battlefield and grinned evilly.
"Heeheehee! That's what you get for slapping me!"
Hidan's body, on the other hand, had been blown to pieces.
His head lay sideways on the sand, looking utterly helpless.
Still alive, of course—and still able to talk.
"Lord Jashin... maybe cool it next time, okay?"
The Cauliflower Snake scratched her cheek awkwardly.
"Ehehe… Sorry, little Hidan~ That one got away from me."
She started picking up Hidan's body parts like Lego blocks, piecing him back together one limb at a time.
His head was accidentally reattached backward.
He gripped his temples, twisted hard with a crack, and realigned his head properly.
A satisfying neck pop followed.
At that moment, Naruto reappeared.
Despite the cave being nearly obliterated, he stood there completely unharmed.
This stunned the Cauliflower Snake.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
First Form!
Without a word, Naruto slashed through her with a glowing blade of blue energy.
Shing!
Her snake body was neatly chopped into dozens of symmetrical pieces.
She looked down at herself and burst into tears from the pain.
Of course, her body quickly regenerated…
But pain was still pain.
And so began the eternal loop:
-Naruto: Slash, slash, slash
-Teleport with Flying Thunder God
-Cauliflower Snake: Cry, regenerate, cry some more
After 10+ minutes of this cycle, the pain finally became too much.
She broke down into sobs.
"W-what do you want from me?! Please stop!! It really hurts! I'm dying! Dying, I tell you!"
"Sniff sniff sob!"
In the corner, Hidan curled up and pretended to be invisible.
Naruto paused, then smiled.
"Alright, I'll stop—if you agree to one thing."
The Cauliflower Snake didn't hesitate for a second and nodded furiously.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?! What is it?"
"From now on, you call me boss. You do what I say, when I say it."
She hesitated.
Naruto raised his blade again.
"Okay okay! Boss! Big Boss!" she squealed in fear.
Naruto took out a summoning contract scroll and had her sign it.
With her powers, she'd definitely be useful later.
The system's voice rang out:
"Evil God Cult Subjugated. Reward: One Super-Kage-Level Draw."
Naruto glanced around the battlefield.
Chunks of the Cauliflower Snake's body were still scattered everywhere.
Even though she regenerated, the fallen pieces didn't disappear.
They just… sat there.
And they smelled good.
Naruto suddenly had a thought.
A very bold thought.
He wanted to try eating one.
The Cauliflower Snake noticed his gaze and stiffened.
A sense of dread crept over her.
Naruto picked up a chunk of meat, hesitated for a moment…
And took a bite.
The texture was like jelly.
It melted on his tongue, instantly converting into pure energy and surging into his body.
Naruto's eyes lit up.
This meat… was incredible!
Now that he knew it worked, he went all in.
He began feasting.
The Cauliflower Snake burst into tears again.
Even though the pieces were detached, they were still her flesh!
"Boss! Y-you're too cruel! Eating me right in front of me! Wahhh~"
Naruto munched down another piece.
He paused—
Yeah, maybe that was a bit much.
So he gently walked over…
And tied a blindfold around her eyes.
Then went back to eating.
The meat didn't give him any sense of fullness.
It wasn't normal food—it was more like pure energy.
He devoured over half the scattered meat chunks.
His whole body felt warm, overflowing with power.
He could feel it—his physique had undergone another leap.
Eventually, the effect began to taper off, and he stopped.

Both his body and chakra had skyrocketed.
The buff from eating her meat was even greater than the Wood Release Sage Body had given.
And now he had a new bloodline trait: Regeneration Body.
He didn't need an explanation—it was obviously from the Cauliflower Snake.
It gave him insane healing and regeneration.
Combined with his other sage bodies, Naruto was now near-unkillable.
Even taking a direct hit from a normal jutsu wouldn't break through.
Ninjas were traditionally glass cannons…
But Naruto had officially broken that mold.
His chakra and durability exceeded even the Tailed Beasts.
"At this point… am I even still a ninja?"
He still had two lottery spins:
One basic draw he had saved
One Super-Kage-Level Draw as a reward
He spun the basic one first.
"Reward obtained: Lightning Release Chakra Mode."
Naruto smiled.
This ability scaled perfectly with a strong body.
Just like the Third Raikage, who could brawl with the Eight-Tails using pure muscle and lightning.
The strongest spear. The strongest shield.
"Not bad at all. Worth training."
