The Land of Lightning.
In the sewers beneath a small town.
A Kumogakure ninja panted heavily, watching her surroundings warily.
She was a beautiful woman of about twenty, with delicate features.
Her long, tawny hair was tied behind her, and her combat uniform hugged her curves.
She was none other than Yugito, Kumogakure's Two-Tails jinchūriki.
Whoosh!
Suddenly.
A scythe flew out of the darkness and landed in front of Yugito.
Then.
Two tall figures appeared, slowly approaching the panting Yugito.
One was a man bundled up so tightly that only his green eyes showed.
Staring at Yugito across from him, he said in a low, ominous voice.
"Well... let's begin."
Beside him, the man holding the scythe stopped him.
"Wait, Kakuzu. Before that, I need to offer a proper prayer to my god."
Watching Hidan pray devoutly beside him.
Kakuzu's utter disgust was written all over his face.
"Hidan, you're such a pain every single time."
Hidan glared at Kakuzu and said.
"I think it's a pain too, but the commandments are strict. There's nothing I can do."
Watching the two converse as though she weren't even there.
Yugito, who had looked panicked moments ago, suddenly broke into a smug smile.
"You don't really think you two drove me into a corner, do you...?"
She formed hand seals, raised her pretty face, and declared proudly.
"Actually... I wanted to lure you here!"
Inside the sewers.
A string of carefully concealed Explosive Tags detonated one after another.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a violent chain of explosions.
Falling rocks sealed every exit from the sewers.
Well, this...
Kakuzu and Hidan froze.
Yugito's maneuver had left both of them dumbfounded.
They stood there for ages, not knowing what to say!
Holding back laughter, Hidan said.
"Uh, all the exits are blocked
