"Sasuke was taken away by them!"
Naruko reported in a low voice.
This was something Tang Ping had arranged in advance. Otherwise, did they really think they would leave Sasuke lying atop the stone wall without any hidden move in place?
With Naruko's speed, if she had not wanted to let him, there was no way Obito could have taken anyone away.
What they had guarded against was the enemy taking Itachi, the "trophy." As for Sasuke, they had deliberately "given" him away in order to carry out the subsequent plan.
The Poison Pill Plan!
It was also a plan specifically designed to screw over others and the Sage of Six Paths.

Otherwise, a Kage-level combatant was still extremely valuable. There was no way they would not have tried to keep him.

"Yes, Lady Izumi!"
The Ninja Cat named Gray Sickle first tucked away
