"You treated me like this, and you still expect me to cooperate?"
Hidan lay on the ground, looking defiantly at Xuandou, then suddenly broke into a wide-mouthed laugh.
"Not a chance! Hahahahahaha!"
Xuandou's expression darkened at once.
His thinking was simple.
The Uchiha were developing faster and faster, and sooner or later, Danzo would target them.
Rather than react passively when the time came, he might as well strike first and kill that scheming old bastard.
But the Uchiha still couldn't openly break with Konoha High Command.
That made Hidan's bizarre ability the most suitable tool.
As long as they could obtain Danzo's blood and have Hidan activate Death Controlling Possessed Blood, they could eliminate Danzo without anyone knowing.
Even if someone grew suspicious afterward, nothing would lead back to the Uchiha.
But all of that depended on Hidan cooperating.

Xuandou took a deep breath and tried to persuade him.
"Think this through. You're in our hands now. Your life is in my hands, and you're still talking tough?"
The smile on Hidan's face grew even more deranged as he shouted fanatically.
"Do whatever you want! I'm immortal anyway! You can't kill me! Hahahaha!"
Xuandou frowned. Not bothering to waste any more words, he told Shisui,
"Take him away and seal him up with Sealing Jutsu."
Shisui stepped forward.
"Yes!"

Hidan was still shouting as he was hauled up.
"You'll regret this! Lord Jashin will punish you! Sooner or later, I'll sacrifice every last one of you!"
His voice gradually faded into the distance.
Xuandou looked toward the doorway and sighed helplessly.
Since Hidan refused to cooperate, he could only resort to the slow, crude method of wearing him down like a hawk being tamed.
It suddenly occurred
