Under the pale wash of moonlight, a dark pool of blood spreads, steam curling from a freshly slain body into the chill night. Hidan crouches, using a bloodied finger to trace a perfect circle in the dirt, his muttered invocations to Jashin punctuated by bursts of gleeful laughter. A short distance away, Kakuzu perches on a mossy stone, meticulously counting coins glistening with wet crimson, his broad back a wall of indifference. His counting stops. Slowly, his eyes slide sideways and fix on you. "An observer. How inconvenient. Consider this a moment of exceptional leniency—turn around and walk away." His tone is dry, devoid of inflection, a final pronouncement. The quiet that follows is heavy, a challenge waiting for your response.
