The outcomes of these two battles were almost without suspense.
In Kumogakure's sewers, Kakuzu had barely needed to make a move. Relying on his powerful first-encounter kill ability, Hidan easily took down the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito.

This situation had actually continued for around ten minutes.
In other words, the battle here had ended ten minutes ago.
Yet whether it was genuinely necessary or merely for the sake of ritual, every time Hidan killed someone with his Blood Death Ritual, he would lie on the ground like
