He had gone from arrogant at the beginning to frowning deeply.
Less than thirty seconds had passed.
"Fire Release... Hozuki Lantern!"
Ryuzetsu formed hand seals and used her jutsu.
Several orange-red flames resembling ghost fire flew straight at Hidan.
She even knew how to deliver a finishing blow...
The flames instantly engulfed Hidan.
"It's hot~! It's hot~!"
Hidan began struggling on the ground.
But...
When the flames dissipated, Hidan was still as spirited as ever.
"It should be some kind of jutsu or a special constitution... It looks like he can resist a great deal of Ninjutsu damage, along with a certain amount of additional blunt impact resistance..."

Hyuga Sho detected how Hidan differed from ordinary ninja.
"Forget about him. He's already crippled. Fall back. I'll deal with these people."
Hyuga Sho instructed her.
Only then did Ryuzetsu blink, before immediately going to examine the injuries of the four wounded ninja.
"Ordinary bombs are ineffective...?"
Deidara glanced at the crippled Hidan, then shifted his attention back to Hyuga Sho.
"Then I'll use an extra-large one! Hmm!"
Under Deidara's command, the C2 dragon spat a fat, sturdy dragon hatchling from its mouth.
The dragon hatchling looked rather foolish.
But it was extremely fast.
"Don't think you can dodge! Kachik!"
Boom!!
"Wahhhh~~~!"
Ryuzetsu, who had been running away, was sent flying.
The explosion's range even affected her dozens of meters away.
As for Hyuga Sho, who had taken the brunt of it...
He remained completely unharmed.
"A direct hit would probably be enough to kill an Elite Jonin..."
Hyuga Sho judged.
That kind of power was already astonishing.
"Damn it... Even that isn't enough?"
A bead of cold sweat ran down Deidara's forehead.
This was the first time he had encountered an opponent who could disregard his explosives so
