"Did you really think I stopped to let you use me for target practice?"
Tamura Hiroshi sneered inwardly. He had flown high into the sky just to draw their attention. When he'd dropped the pineapple bombs moments ago, he'd also slipped the Chakra Core made from Mito Uzumaki's corpse underground.
Using Chakra Threads to control it, he'd activated Adamantine Sealing Chains and sent them creeping through the ground until they caught the two men.
Unfortunately, his chakra level wasn't high enough yet. Even after releasing the chakra stored in his Yin Seal, he could only activate two Adamantine Sealing Chains. They could target only two people, and couldn't even fully suppress the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.

"Underground!"
Gari looked down at the ground and decisively began weaving Hand Seals, ready to blast the hidden Uzumaki Ninja to pieces.

Tamura Hiroshi continued controlling the finger blades and sending them at Gari. Gari dodged nimbly, but soon had several cuts. He
