Boom!
A figure was sent flying across the ground by a massive claw.
Then the Nine-Tails descended with a roar, slamming Wuye into the earth with one paw.
"Hmph. If Adamantine Sealing Chains can't restrain the Nine-Tails, then you have no way to deal with it."
Masked Obito sneered. He then stood beside the Nine-Tails as his Mangekyō Sharingan spun, and a Kamui vortex appeared.

"No—"

Masked Obito let out an unwilling growl, then sank into
