Although Minato formed the Tailed Beast Ball very quickly.
Satori had already seized the Box of Paradise and positioned himself directly in the Tailed Beast Ball's trajectory.
The Tailed Beast Ball was not particularly fast, and with his enormous wings, Satori had more than enough time to prepare before it arrived.
At that moment, one of the Box of Paradise's four faces—joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure—had opened, revealing a deep black-and-red opening within.
