One corner of the pure-white space suddenly rippled and warped, like water struck by a stone.
A white figure wearing a spiral-faced mask squeezed through the distorted space like a cannonball.
It was Tobi!
In other words, White Zetsu.
"Found you~ Lord Madara's little pawn!" Tobi called out cheerfully as soon as he entered.
But when he saw Uchiha Ryūha and Obito, his voice abruptly changed. "Huh? Who are you? You dare steal Lord Madara's property-"
He never finished his demand.
Uchiha Ryūha had not even looked at him.
He merely raised his right hand casually, pointing his index finger toward the spot where Tobi had entered.
His lips moved slightly, releasing a few calm syllables:
"Bones of beasts scattered like stars!
Spire! Red crystal! Steel wheels! In motion, the wind! At rest, the void! The clash of spears fills the empty city!"
"Hadō #63-"
"Raikōhō."
BOOM-CRACK!!!!
Blazing white lightning threaded with gold erupted from Liuyu's fingertip like a roaring dragon.
The lightning instantly filled the distorted space, engulfing Tobi.
"AAAAARGH-!!!"
Tobi managed only half a brief scream before his entire body burst apart in the destructive lightning.
It was not vaporization, but something more complete: annihilation.
When the lightning faded, all that remained was a small portion of his charred, broken head-mask.
Trailing smoke, it fell onto the pure-white floor with a clack.
Not even ashes remained of the rest.
Tobi's presence vanished instantly.
Liuyu withdrew his hand as though he had merely swatted away a fly.
Without even glancing at Tobi's remains, he returned his gaze to Obito, who stood trembling all over, utterly dumbstruck.
Then he raised his hand and gently snapped his fingers.
Snap.
The image at the center of the pure-white space abruptly enlarged and sharpened, as though Obito had been pulled straight into that
