Hiruko challenged Pain.
It seemed he did not take Uchiha Obito seriously at all.
"Hmph..."
Uchiha Obito made it clear that he did not care in the slightest.
No matter how strong Hiruko was, he was still only a mortal.
There was no way he could be a match for Pain, who possessed the Rinnegan.
In the end, once all the Tailed Beasts had been collected, defeating Pain would still depend on himself.
"By the way, what if the Konoha people come to rescue that guy?"
After learning about the situation at the scene, Kakuzu asked in his muffled voice.
He was referring to Morino Ibiki.

"Heaven, earth, and man... all three elements are gathered! Hehehehehehe!!"
Pffft! Pffft!
The twisted dark-blue gel spread toward "Guren," who was tied to a rack nearby.
The unconscious little girl still had no idea that
