Minato grabbed Naruto and said in a low voice.
"It can't be compared to the spatial distortion in the area we just escaped from."
"Fifth Generation, that space is at the very center,"
Tobirama Senju said gravely.
Compared to that central area, the spatial distortion they had just experienced was child's play.
The three distortions they had passed through were merely the residual effects at the edge of that core region—even so, they had nearly caused the Flying Thunder God Technique to collapse.
"No matter what, we have to go there and bring Yuu out. Even if it costs me my life," Minato said solemnly. Tobirama Senju was stunned for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Hashirama Senju, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
As expected of Konoha's future Naruto.
"We should go instead. We're immortal now."
"That is precisely how the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu is meant to be used."
Hashirama Senju smiled, then looked gravely at his anxious granddaughter beside him.
Even if their souls were shattered, they had to rescue Yuu.
"Let's go." Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju exchanged a look.
Under the Flying Thunder God Technique, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju vanished from where they stood.
"Great-Grandfather, Second Great-Grandfather..." Their granddaughter stared at the vanished Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, her pretty face filled with anxiety. "Hm? Did they perish together? How delightful."
At that moment, space twisted, and Uchiha Obito's figure slowly appeared.
"Summoning Technique."
As everyone's expressions changed and they looked up, Uchiha Obito raised one hand before him and shouted in a low voice.
Bang!!!
Boom!!!
A massive humanoid creature violently crawled out of the ground. Its skin resembled withered, dead wood.
It had nine tightly shut eyes, with ten pillar-like protrusions extending from its back.
"Roar!!!"
A nonhuman howl roared
