"Damn those bizarre vines."
Because of that damned thing, Obito had no choice but to serve time inside Planetary Devastation.
"Fortunately, even if Lin Qing knows where we are and what we're doing, there's no way he can find us," Kabuto Yakushi said.
They were in low Earth orbit, circling the Ninja World at seven kilometers per second, their orbital position constantly changing.
Even if Lin Qing was fast, he could never use Hermit Purple's directional guidance to find them.
In Kabuto Yakushi's view, Lin Qing's only chance of catching them was to wait like a hunter by a tree stump and pray that, at some point, the sky base happened to pass over wherever he was.
But the odds of that were far too low.
Besides...
"Heave-ho."
Kabuto Yakushi placed the final large jar, marked with the character "Nine," before the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
At last, the chakra of the One-Tails through the Nine-Tails had all been gathered.
Obito also tossed aside the towel he had been using to wipe his hands, having completed the final adjustments to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
The White Snake Sage approached with a cigarette dangling from her lips. Looking at the towering Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, she grinned. "Besides, our days of hiding and dodging will be over soon enough."
"Yeah."
Obito narrowed his eyes at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path before him, his heart filled with emotion.
He thought of the Nine-Tails' Rampage he had caused in the past, of his control over Kirigakure through Yagura, and of the wars he had personally ignited. Pride welled up within him.
"We've finally reached this point."
Obito and the White Snake Sage had made many modifications to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
