The Land of Earth.
An angry, rebellious teenager was venting his fury without restraint.
"Katsu! Katsu! Katsu!"
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!"
Deidara leveled several abandoned villages outright.
Even that failed to improve his mood in the slightest.
"Damn it! Those two actually left me behind just like that!"
Anger surged in his heart, and malice gave him courage.
Blinded by rage, Deidara...
Made a less-than-rational decision.
"I'll go to Iwagakure and capture the Five-Tails Jinchuriki myself, hmm!"
"I'll show them that my art doesn't need anyone else's help, hmm!"
Deidara had always been the type to act as soon as he spoke.
Once he made up his mind...
He immediately headed toward nearby Iwagakure.
Before long...
Towering mountains appeared before him.
Iwagakure lay beyond that natural barrier.
Deidara checked his approximate location.
Then he plunged into the earth, weaving left and right along a familiar route.
Inside the Kamui Dimension.
Hidan spoke with an irritated look on his face.
"Leader, why do you still need to recruit someone? I'm bored out of my damn mind!"
As he spoke...
Hidan pointed at Obito, himself, and Sasori.
"You, me, and this guy—the four of us should be enough to deal with that... whatever-it-was you mentioned!"
Sasori glanced at Hidan and said coldly...
"Three. Can't you count?"
Hidan swung up his Triple-Bladed Scythe and held it against Sasori's neck.
"(#`O′) You morrron!"
"Are you making fun of me?!"
Sasori stared coldly at Hidan without a word.
One hand had already reached for the scroll behind him.
Seeing this, Obito snapped...
"Hidan, behave yourself! Otherwise, you can get lost!"
"Tch..."
Hidan slowly moved his Triple-Bladed Scythe away and walked off to the side, disgruntled.
After driving Hidan off, Obito turned to Sasori.
"Sasori, I'm heading out for a bit.
