As Hidan spoke, he took out a black spike and drove it through his own chest.
Across from Hidan, Sparkle also coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
"Hehehehe~"
A pleased expression appeared on Hidan's face, and at the same time, his body returned to its original state.
However—
"Oh my, is that all?"
Sparkle's voice came from behind Hidan.
Sparkle sat atop a rope of the Mist Formation, completely uninjured, watching Hidan with great interest.
"?!!!"
Hidan's eyes went wide.
Then, he turned black and white again and slit his own throat. Sparkle's throat was mysteriously cut open as well, and the dead Sparkle fell from the rope.

Hidan cut open his own stomach.
Sparkle's stomach was cut open as well.

This time, he stabbed straight through his own heart.
Sparkle died again and fell to the ground.
"Oh my, why is it impossible~" Her voice came
