The Dragon Sage sighed and said, "Once the Dragon God chooses a heir to the throne of the Land of Sky, that is the end of it. No good can come of trying to force Him to change His mind. The last time it happened there was a great catastrophe that bathed the world in a sea of blood and almost all of the humans were wiped out. He chose her because He knows that she will make a great ruler." Shikamaru sighed and looked at the cave entrance and said, "I'm going to go check on those two.

Kakuzu knocked out Draco with a swift chop to the back of her neck. Kakuzu then proceeded to run with Draco in his arms towards their escape route through the forest. Kakuzu soon got on a boat after reaching the shore and waited for Hidan to get on the boat before they sailed back to their hideout in the Land of Rivers. Kakuzu said, "Hidan, tie the girl to the ship's mast so she can't escape if she wakes up."
