No one had expected the sudden turn of events, not even Gold, let alone Yugito Nii and the others.
They looked at Moriyue standing blankly in place, then at Moriyue fighting Gold and the others, and understood a few things.
Ordinary Clone Techniques could not fool their eyes or senses. Moriyue had used some special method.
Kabuto had no mind to think about any of that. Once he realized he had been deceived, he lost all desire to fight. Though he had not harbored any good intentions himself, this time, he had no choice but to admit that he had been played.
He had already recalled Roshi and Han, whom he had controlled before, including Sasori, whom he had just summoned. The situation was clear enough.
He had been tricked by Obito and the Hoshikage, and now, the Hoshikage had clearly been outplayed by Moriyue.
