Clang!
Hidan's scythe slashed down onto Naruto's left shoulder. It was as though it had struck metal, sending sparks flying.
At the sight, Nagato and the others' pupils constricted. Hidan's scythe had actually failed to injure Naruto. If anyone present had traded places with Naruto, they would have become another soul lost beneath Hidan's scythe.
Yet Naruto was completely unharmed. From the looks of it, not even his skin had been scratched.
Jiraiya and Tsunade were surprised to see that Naruto was unharmed, but they quickly relaxed. It was good that Naruto had not been injured.
"Hiss!"
Hidan sucked in a sharp breath, his face changing drastically. "What kind of body do you have?" He pulled back his scythe and tried to swing it down again.
Naruto reached out and grabbed Hidan's scythe. With a twist of his five fingers, he crumpled the weapon into a ball before Hidan's horrified eyes. Then Naruto said seriously, "You cut me once. Now it's my turn."
"One punch. Just one punch. Don't be afraid."
With that, Naruto stepped back with his right foot, exerted strength through his calf, bent forward slightly, and threw an incredibly fast punch.

Only his head remained, falling to the ground where he had stood.
"Since you're called Hidan, then fly for a while," Naruto said calmly.
With one move, although Hidan's immortal body kept him from dying, he had lost his ability to fight and could no longer move. Unless someone helped stitch his torso back together,
