A severed arm covered in Tailed Beast Chakra flew through the air, but the stump healed instantly, without a trace of blood.
Yet the pain of losing the arm was undiminished!
Kazuma howled in agony, his sanity almost completely consumed!
Uchiha Shisui appeared nearby, his expression calm.
Across the entire Ninja World, he was the only one who could use the power of the Dimensional Formation to unleash an offensive Space-Time Ninjutsu.

In the original story, the Nine-Tails had broken free of Nagato's Chibaku
