The Gate of the Great God's Suppression

"There's a way to do that? Uncle Obito really is a tactical genius."

When Naruto saw Obito wrap the Yomotsu Hirasaka portal in a Truth-Seeking Orb, his expression turned grave.

"If anything, he's an Uchiha like me. We can't underestimate him."

Sasuke nodded, his face equally grim.

Were these two idiots really calling a moron a tactical genius?

For a moment, Kushina was so thrown off that the words she had been about to say caught in her throat.

She decided not to say anything at all. Actions spoke louder. With a wave of her hand, she opened a second Portal inside Obito.

That was the solution.

For that matter, hadn't its entrance opened two?

Obito thinking he had beaten Yomotsu Hirasaka by blocking one Portal was ridiculous enough. Naruto and Sasuke praising him for it was even worse.

Obito's body was still "open." Eager to show Naruto and the others how clever he had been in overcoming Yomotsu Hirasaka, he had kept laughing. So when Kushina opened the second Portal, everyone saw it at once.

Obito noticed it too. His expression changed instantly.

He knew the act was over. He wrapped the second Portal in a Truth-Seeking Orb, then hurriedly closed his body.

He reacted fast. Naruto attacked the instant he spotted the second Portal, but he was still too late. Every strike hit the Truth-Seeking Orb's shield.

Hashirama Senju withdrew the Wood Golem's arm, turned to Kushina, and bowed in earnest apology.

As he saw it, they had missed that opening because he had been too caught up in the success of his prank
