A long silence settled over the entire cavern.
Gua stood quietly as well, looking at Hiruko's body, which lay on the ground in two halves.
After a moment, Gua finally tore his gaze away from Hiruko's severed halves.
He looked at Pain, who was closest to him. If they really fought, he and Kabuto would never get out of here.
He had taken the Blue Pill Orochimaru had given him, and before long, he would collapse from exhaustion.
So the best strategy now was to retreat for the time being.
But Obito had taken Kakashi.
Gua slowly shifted his gaze again, settling on Obito farther back, then asked a question that left everyone utterly bewildered.
