"If you want new clothes, fill out an approval form first!" Kakuzu pulled out a piece of paper with large words written on it: "Office Supplies Application Form."
"Go to hell! I won't wear anything then, you miser!" Hidan grabbed the paper and tore it into pieces, complaining, "What kind of place doesn't even provide clothes!"
Unfazed by his colleague's resistance, Kakuzu remained calm: "We are a legitimate mercenary organization. Everything follows regulations. Time to move out!"
"Hmph!"
Complaints aside, the job had to continue.
Hidan picked up his scythe from the ground and, seeing Kakuzu walking away, shouted, "Hey! Kakuzu, wait for me!"
...
Late at night.
Land of Lightning, Cloud Thunder Gorge.
On the shore, Hidan raised his hand and looked into the distance, saying, "This place is really secluded, not a hint of blood in the air. Boring…"
Kakuzu: "Fewer people are better. No matter how much noise we make, we won't be easily discovered."
Hidan twisted his neck: "Easy for you to say. This place is huge! We can't even find a local to ask for directions. How are we supposed to find the Eight-Tails?"
"Are you an idiot?" Kakuzu pointed to the highest point not far away: "There's a building up there. There's nothing else around. Cloud Thunder Gorge is where the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki trains. If the Eight-Tails isn't in that building, where else would it be?"
"Tch!" Hidan pouted, embarrassed, "I just thought it would be more reliable to ask someone!"
"Stop talking nonsense and follow me!"
"Damn it, Kakuzu! Don't be so mean!"
Grumbling, Hidan followed Kakuzu towards the higher ground.
Moments later, on the high platform of Cloud Thunder Gorge.
A man with light yellow hair, wearing sunglasses and a brown visor, swaggered out of the gate.
"Finally out of seclusion. My eyes hurt…"
"Yo! It's already midnight, haha, time to get hyped…"
The man waved his arms and rapped as he moved:
"Yo~ You rotten egg, stinky egg~ two bucks a pound!"
"I'm born to rap~ nothing else to do!"
"What should I eat for a midnight snack~ barbecue sounds good! Oh yeah~"
"Hmm?"
In the middle of his rap, Killer Bee noticed two unfamiliar men in front of him.
One wore a Takigakure headband, and the other a Yugakure headband.
"Hey! Foreign friends, did you come all the way here to listen to my raps? Just in time, I've got the time. Listen up~"
Hidan smirked and whispered, "Hey, Kakuzu, he seems like an idiot~"
Kakuzu: "Yeah, he has a similar vibe to you…"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Hidan was about to get angry when Kakuzu covered his mouth and looked at Killer Bee, saying:
"You must be the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. We're here to capture you. Be smart and don't make me angry…"
"Oh?" Killer Bee shook his head, touching his chin: "No, no, no, that's not how you should say it…"
"You should ask, 'Are you Lord Killer Bee? I'm your fan,' hmm… that would make more sense~"
Seeing Killer Bee's playful demeanor, Kakuzu's anger flared instantly:
"Hmph! Both my enemies and partners are the same, just a bunch of brainless fools!"
"Prepare to die, you black fool!"
