Chapter Two - First Encounters of The Divine Kind
If there was one thing Hidan seemed to love more than his god it was complaining, Kakuzu mused. If it was raining Hidan complained about getting muddy, if it was sunny he would complain about it being too hot, dry air made his skin chap and humidity made his hair frizzy and unmanageable. The complaining had become a background noise easily ignored by Kakuzu much like the wind or buzzing insects. Hidan and Kakuzu had a month of time before they were supposed to catch the two-tailed beast and Kakuzu was spending his time searching for bounties. Hidan tagged along because he wasn't trusted by the leader to be alone for longer than a day.
Right now they were in Grass Country and Kakuzu was searching for a jounin who was wanted by the Rock Village. His name was Roku and he apparently pissed off the Iwakage who was offering a 2,000,000 ryo bounty for bringing in his severed head. The rule of thumb was as long as you collect bounties make sure you never collected them for the village you where exiled from so for Kakuzu that meant no Waterfall bounties. Not that he cared, Waterfall rarely had bounties higher than 100,000 ryo and Kakuzu didn't even blink at taking a bounty worth anything less than 500,000.
The thing with Roku though was that he was employed constantly to spy on several civilian villages which meant things might get sticky if he was staying in a populated village. He and Hidan walked down the road towards a village with thatch roofed huts with Hidan complaining about the grass floating in the air that was giving him watery eyes.
Outside the village was a rather large gathering of children surrounding a woman who was speaking gently to them. As they passed her words carried over to them on the air, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and you must love your neighbor as yourself."
Kakuzu snorted and walked on his way but Hidan had stopped completely at the mention of God and stood quietly listening to the woman's talking.
A little girl raised his hand and asked, "I have a neighbor named Suzuka but who else is considered a neighbor Master Ashley?"
The woman, Ashley, Hidan noted smiled and replied, "It is like this story. There was a man who was on his way from The Land of Fire to The Land of Water. However on his way there he was robbed and beaten and left half dead by the roadside.
First a priest came by, and when he saw the wounded man on the road, he passed by on the other side. Next a doctor came and he, too, looked at the hopeless man and passed by on the other side of the road. Then a missing-ninja came along. He took pity on the man and took care of him and then carried him and took him to an inn to stay until he was well. The missing-ninja paid for everything food, lodging and medical attention. So let me ask you, which of the three men was a neighbor to the traveler?"
The little girl smiled in understanding and replied, "It was the missing ninja who helped him."
"So then, go and do likewise."
Hidan rolled his eyes, Jashin what was this woman teaching these kids? They'd all grow up to be pansys and get slaughtered if they listened to her teachings.
"Maki is always mean to me and always likes to beat me up, shouldn't I be able to do the same to him?" A young boy about the age of ten asked.
"Well God has said do not repay anyone evil for evil. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay." On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Finally Hidan had had enough of listening to her with a growl he said, "How can you say these things to these brats, you are spreading lies you despicable whore."
All the kids started and turned their heads to look over at Hidan who was scowling furiously at the seated woman.
"I am not lying," Ashley replied as she stood up, "I have been sent as a prophet of God to these lands and I am teaching so when God calls to them they will understand and open their hearts to his service."
"My God Jashin is just as real as your god but I don't go around warping peoples minds. The only way that people understand and can be cleansed of their sins is by showing them the pain they put you through."
Ashley raised an eyebrow but smiled, "So you believe the teaching that is if anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has injured the other, so he is to be injured. Is that it?"
Hidan nodded, "Exactly, you see my point then, don't fucking turn these little kids into pansys that'll just take a beating if someone attacks them!"
"Violence begets violence though," she said with a cheeky grin, "You punch your kid brother then he turns around and kicks you in the stomach. Before you know it you're brawling in the family room until someone accidentally knocks over a lamp that sets fire to your living room before it engulfs your house as well as your entire neighborhood. And after that you have to move because every time you walk down the street someone is reminding you how you ruined Christmas for everyone by making everybody in the area homeless."
Hidan began to howl with laughter at the story but the kids seemed to get the picture in a bigger way. One high ranking ninja kills another and before you know it war is spreading across the land.
Ashley looked over the kids and smiled, "Do any more of you have questions?"
A girl sitting next to the girl who asked about neighbors raised her hand and said, "You told us that even though God gives us impossible laws to obey we should still listen to them, why should we?"
"God's law was never meant to save humanity but to prove to humanity that we are imperfect creatures and we need his help to reach his standard."
Hidan had stopped laughing and out of morbid curiosity shouted a question, "What are your god's laws then?"
"Well the highest commandments as I've said earlier are to love God with all your heart, mind and power and to love your neighbor as yourself. But there are always the ten commandments. You shall have no other gods before Him. You shall not make for yourself a carved image to worship. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Honor your father and your mother. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor and you shall not covet."
Hidan snorted at her list and shook his head as the kids began to get curious again.
"What's a sabbath?" one boy asked.
"It's a day of rest. Since God created the entire universe and everything in it in six days but rested on the seventh we should follow his example. God has our best interests if you never rest and work every day you will die early from overwork and stress related illnesses."
"What does covet mean?" another asked
"That means don't be jealous of other people's stuff. You might think they have a better house or more money than you do but greed is a never ending spiral. You'll always want more and more until even though you have all the riches and glory in the world it still won't be enough to satisfy your greed."
Hidan laughed at the quite accurate description of his partner, who had been strangely quiet throughout Ashley's various teachings, "Ha, you hear that Kakuzu, you greedy bastar- Hey where'd you go!? That godless greedy heathen left me behind! Later, misguided whore, stop teaching that ridiculous shit to kids, if I see you again I'll educate you and you'll see the light of Jashin's glory!"
Hiden's shouts continued about Jashin and the horrors of man until he vanished completely in off in the distance through the village. "Hey Master Ashley, was that guy a demon or just a lunatic?" a boy asked.
Ashley just shook her head, "Some people will never see the truth of God because they have to admit that they aren't good people or because they don't know. Don't judge people though, God loves everybody but there are some people who just really hate him and all he teaches."
Hidan cached up to Kakuzu about ten minutes later and immediately began talking to him, "Can you believe some people these days Kakuzu? I mean people just letting their little fucking kids sit around listening to some lunatic talk about God? And what's with that chick? Her God doesn't even have a proper name unlike Jashin-sama. I mean what the fuck? Don't you hate it when people go on and on about things you know are crap? Man I hate Grass Country my eyes are getting all itchy again. How the fuck can that lady just sit in a grass patch all day and talk? It'd be hell on earth for me, seriously! And you, why the fuck did you leave me behind I know you don't care about being partners but for Jashin's sake if you don't-"
Kakuzu tilted his head and tried to fight his newly regrowing migraine. So that's why his blood pressure had gone down for awhile, Hidan hadn't been around. Maybe the next time they passed a religious lunatic Hidan would leave him alone for an hour. That might prove that there was actually a god out there who was merciful to people who had to deal with Hidan all day.
End Chapter Two
So once again, please review!
