Hidan wiped the drool off his Triple-Bladed Scythe.
He slung it over his shoulder and complained.
"(#`O′) Tch, it sounds fun, sure, but it also sounds like a huge hassle!"
"..." Obito was speechless.
He kept feeling that Hidan's personality seemed to overlap with a certain Pineapple Head's...
Kakuzu's green eyes turned toward Obito as he asked quietly.
"How many are each of us responsible for?"
Obito pondered for a moment before answering.
"Each person only needs to capture one jinchūriki. As your leader, I've already made arrangements based on your individual abilities."
"Kakuzu and Hidan will handle the Two-Tails and Seven-Tails jinchūriki. Sasori and Deidara will handle the One-Tail and Five-Tails jinchūriki."
"Kisame, my friend, pick a few people from the village and handle capturing the Six-Tails Jinchuriki... any objections?"
Kisame flashed a knowing, savage grin.
"No objections from me, Obito-san."
Obito swept his gaze over everyone in turn.
Only after they had all nodded in agreement did he withdraw his gaze.
"Remember, you must capture the jinchūriki alive. Whatever you do, don't kill them."
Obito made a point of stressing that.
He genuinely feared that these ruthless subordinates of his would torment the jinchūriki to death!
Then who knew when his dream of using Susanoo-Clad Kurama would ever come true!

Hidan spoke with a disgruntled expression.
"Why do we have to take them alive? What a pain in the ass!"
Kakuzu looked at his grandson and said calmly.
"If a jinchūriki dies, the tailed beast inside them disappears too. Be patient and let the leader finish."
Obito gave Kakuzu a slight nod and continued.
"In any case, begin gathering intelligence for now. We'll all start moving in one month."
"Once you've captured the jinchūriki, just bring them back to the village. You won't need to worry
