"Congratulations, you have leveled up!"
A few days later, when Simu returned to the Akatsuki headquarters, he heard that wonderful voice just as he had hoped. He opened the interface:

As the public outcry over the destruction of the Hidden Steam Village fermented, the Jashin Religion spread rapidly to the surrounding countries. Not only did it affect small nations to the north of the Land of Rivers like the Land of Rain, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Birds, but even the Land of Fire to the east and the Land of Wind to the west were influenced. Although every country maintained strict vigilance, the border lines between these nations were so long that they couldn't possibly guard everything. At most, they could only ensure that a few core towns were not too heavily affected.
Even though they had only crushed a small hidden village, it was still a shinobi village after all. Furthermore, they used a power that existed outside the traditional shinobi system—a power that was rumored to be attainable by anyone! As these rumors traveled, they quickly became exaggerated. By the time they reached the distant Land of Birds, the story had become: if you believe in Lord Jashin, you can obtain the power to rule the world.
This was like a gospel to the common people living in hellish conditions. Consequently, many people secretly set up a divine statue in their homes. Since it was just a simple clay sculpture that cost nothing to make, why wouldn't they? Even if Lord Jashin didn't manifest himself, what did they have to lose?
Because of this, the reputation points for the Jashin Religion began to explode, only slowing down once they reached over seventy thousand. The boost in spiritual power brought by the level-up significantly accelerated Simu's progress on several current projects. The most notable improvements were in Yin Style and Yang Style.
To put it simply, Yin Style represented the soul of humans and shinobi, while Yang Style represented the human body and life energy. Simu's recent research on the Apostle of Fear was based on the study of soul and flesh. Having obtained a vast amount of research data, his understanding of these two aspects had improved considerably.
Simu also achieved a breakthrough in studying the Sage Gene from Jugo's body. Based on Yang Style Ninjutsu, the Sage Gene, and the original Blood Pack Insect, he created a new race called the Blood Spirit Insect. Like the Blood Pack Insect, it stored a large amount of Yang Style chakra and could absorb natural energy to a certain extent. Although it was only a small amount, it was enough to cause a revolutionary change in its effectiveness. Not only could it heal the user's injuries in a short time, but it could also put the user into a state of excitement, granting them greater power.
Most importantly, the Blood Spirit Insect was only one-tenth the size of a Blood Pack Insect, roughly the size of a thumb. This greatly expanded the range of its applications.
"What is this thing?"
Hidan squeezed in from the side, looking at the thumb-sized insect in Simu's hand with a confused expression.
Simu raised an eyebrow and said casually, "Candy. Well? Want to eat it?"
Hidan immediately looked at him with disdain. "Damn Simu, you don't think I'm a fool, do you? This is clearly a pill. You're trying to trick me by calling it candy."
Simu hadn't expected his CPU to face such a significant challenge just after reaching level four. After a few seconds, he said calmly, "Hidan, you are truly cute."
Hidan's face turned red. "Bastard Simu, don't think that I'll forgive you just because you're praising me!"
Simu pushed up his glasses, put away the Blood Spirit Insect, and said flatly, "You are cute because you are stupid."
"Damn Simu, so you were actually insulting me!"
"Fine, stop shouting. I need to conduct an experiment."
Simu casually cut off Hidan's head, placed it in a special nutrient solution, and then walked inside to begin his work. He approached an experimental subject whose abdomen was nearly pierced through and whose life was hanging by a thread. Without a word, Simu stuffed the Blood Spirit Insect directly into the subject's mouth.
The moment it was swallowed, the Blood Spirit Insect quickly took effect. It began to absorb a small amount of surrounding natural energy, mixing it with a large amount of Yang Style chakra in its body at a specific ratio before releasing it rapidly. This Senjutsu Yang Style chakra traveled along the subject's meridians, quickly nourishing the wound.
Under the stimulation of this power, the subject's eyes snapped open. Granulation tissue sprouted from the abdominal wound at a speed visible to the naked eye, repairing it rapidly. In just one minute, the majority of the abdominal injury was healed. While not restored to peak condition, the subject was at least out of life-threatening danger and could even engage in a certain level of combat!
However, the side effects of the Blood Spirit Insect also began to manifest. Due to the erosion of natural energy, the subject suddenly fell into a violent state, howling madly and trying to break free from his shackles. Simu was not angered by the subject's aggression. Instead, he carefully recorded the physical data and vital signs.
In this state, the subject's strength increased by approximately thirty percent, and the amount of chakra in the body was heavily replenished. The price for this enhancement was that ten minutes later, the subject fell into a state of total lethargy. After a series of tests, Simu reached a conclusion.
Due to the rapid surge of chakra in a short time, the subject's meridians had suffered a certain degree of damage. Furthermore, under the influence of natural energy, the soul had also sustained damage, manifesting as mental exhaustion. As for whether this damage was reversible, it would require further observation.
Simu pushed up his glasses. He had already recorded all the data into his mind without missing a single word. The next step was to collect more data through more experimental subjects. Based on this data, he could improve the Blood Spirit Insect before proceeding to second-phase clinical trials.
