Main Characters (6)
Summary
Having drawn Hidan and Kakuzu into a snare, Yugito locks off every way out to keep them from slipping away. She then takes on the form of the Two-Tails and comes at the pair, though neither of them seems the least bit worried by the assault.
Key Events
Back in Konoha, Asuma is in the middle of raising a matter with Kakashi when Kurenai turns up and cuts the exchange short. He excuses himself to go with her, telling Kakashi they will pick the conversation back up another time. Out in the field, Hidan and Kakuzu finally put Yugito down, then immediately start squabbling over why the job dragged on as long as it did.
