Hidan emerged from the Bloody Reaper Scythe.
Asuma's heart sank at once. Without hesitation, he said, "Hidan, an S-rank Rogue Ninja from Yugakure. Kakuzu, an S-rank Rogue Ninja from Takigakure."

"And we'll gladly accept your head, worth three and a half million silver on the black market."
Asuma was not particularly mild-tempered either. Seeing
