Inside a temple in the Land of Lightning.
Yugito hid in the shadows, panting heavily.
"What is with those two? Why won't one die even after having his heart pierced, while the other keeps appearing out of nowhere? I can't track him at all."
To give her teammates a chance to survive, Yugito had lured Hidan and Obito away on her own.
