"What a powerful tremor!"
"That was quite a spectacle..."
Obito had Kamui, while Black Zetsu was rooted in the ground, so the earthquake-like shaking had affected neither of them.
Instead, Itachi's display of Susanoo had piqued their curiosity.
"Obito, can you use that move?"
"I can, but I haven't tested it in actual combat yet."
As the dust cleared, the two looked toward the center of the battlefield.
"Did it work?"
"Of course not."
Nagato's voice rang out from the empty air beside them.
The invisible lizard revealed itself and opened its enormous mouth, exposing four of Pain's bodies standing inside.
All four looked at Itachi at once. Clearly, they had already broken free of the genjutsu.

Brother Xuanhui really does have high hopes for me!
Nagato had actually figured
