Boom—
A gigantic slug, like a mountain, fell from the sky and crushed down solidly onto golden-bodied Naruto, who was being controlled by Black Zetsu.
At the same time, like a flash of lightning, Left Mysterious Minato, dressed as an Anbu, ambushed Kakuzu from behind. The four exposed Earth Grudge Fear heart masks were instantly sliced apart by the Wind Blade Kunai that had once severed the Eight-Tails' tail. Even the vortex-shaped Zetsu shell wrapped around Kakuzu's body was slashed deeply across the chest and abdomen, severing a large mass of the black threads within Kakuzu's body.
Even without the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Fourth Hokage was a master of the Body Flicker Technique.

"Oh my—" Vortex Zetsu only saw a flash before splitting apart. "So fast!" Then came the sound of Kakuzu's four Earth Grudge Fear heart clones bursting blood and collapsing one after another, followed closely by a sizzling sound of ignition beneath him.
Explosive Tags!
Left Mysterious Minato rose with his back turned. Several Explosive Tags had been stuffed into the gash slashed across Vortex Zetsu's chest and abdomen, their sparks already sizzling to life.
"Ah, oops. Sorry." Vortex Zetsu left behind that playful remark. Its head turned, revealing Kakuzu's shocked and furious face. Vortex Zetsu put on armor quickly, but shed it even faster. With a rustling whirl, it opened up and silently sank into the ground.
At the very instant Vortex Zetsu made its escape, fire exploded in midair with a thunderous boom. Kakuzu was no helpless
