"Man that hurt," Hidan glared at me, grabbing the arrow and pulling it out. I clicked my fingers and it melted at an extreme heat.

"Ow—! what the hell?!" he shouted, waving his hand around and blowing on it, "it's hot. It's hot. It's hot."

Oh shut up. It's scolding water, of course it's hot.

"Y/n, watch out!" Shikamaru shouted as a scythe came flying towards me. I panicked and pushed my bow in front of it, they got tangled together but I wasn't cut so it was ok.

"That was... too close," I muttered.

"Keep your attention on me!" Hidan shouted as he jumped up and came falling my way, ready to punch me. Upon closer inspection, he had the heads of dozens of senbon poking out in between each finger. I pulled my bow and his tangled scythe back before pushing it forward into his direction and pushed him back. He's really thinking outside the box. Dropping my bow I jumped back a few steps and activated my ice properly, deciding to fuck it and just hope for the best.

"Your eyes have changed, how pretty," Hidan commented on my change in eyes. I cringed and shook my head in disgust. I created four icicles of a thick ice and pointed at Hidan. They went flying at him and embedded in his shoulders and knees, I instantly ran over, grabbed his left arm and grabbed the butt of the icicle and ripped his arm off.

"No!" Hidan shouted in frustration as I jumped away and looked at the arm, then made it drop the senbon, "give me my arm back!"

"No, I know your secret. Pull you apart, bury you each piece far from each other and what are you going to do?" I replied almost a bit too cockily, but a presence appeared behind me and before I could react, I was punched with so much force that I almost went through the hall of the collection office we were at. I dropped his arm and Kakuzu grabbed it before sewing it back onto his partner.

"Pathetic," Kakuzu insulted him as Asuma jumped over to me and pulled me up. I hadn't noticed before, but Kotetsu and Izumo were being choked by Kakuzu's hands, Shikamaru was beaten and definitely out of chakra and Asuma was beaten and bleeding all over, he was weaker than I was, and I was just punched halfway through a wall.

"What happened to you guys?" I asked him.

"He did," Asuma nodded at Kakuzu who was looking at me.

Suddenly I felt a strange pain in my shoulder, I looked at it to see blood staining the white cloth.

"What the—?" I questioned before looking at Hidan who was now in his circle and smiling gleefully at me, the icicle in his shoulder was affecting me, "he got my blood! But how?!"

Asuma looked me over and then discovered something.

"He managed to cut the side of your neck," he told me, I frowned.

"He couldn't get close enough to me to cut my neck," I said before standing, "I've got to get him out that circle."

"I'll deal with him, go after Kakuzu," he told me.

So we're going to switch right at the moment when my life is most in danger? Fantastic. Stop being sarcastic, y/n, Asuma knows what he's doing... I hope.

"Pull him apart," I told him, "he's more or less immortal. Pull him apart. Tear him to pieces and scatter his body. It's the only way we're winning."

"Ok," he nodded before looking over at Kakuzu, "you know what to do with him?"
