Xuanhui ran over, gave everyone a bewildering spiel, then turned and left.
The six of them could only exchange blank looks.
"What an interesting young man..."
The sun had fully risen.
After waiting so long, Xuanhui finally spotted that flash of yellow.
There were no White Zetsu here, so Naruto had sent only one clone.
"Look! Isn't that Naruto Uzumaki?"
"Naruto Uzumaki? Isn't he the Jinchūriki we're supposed to protect?"

Mu, hiding behind the pillar, twitched at the corner of his mouth and immediately broke into a sprint.
Kabuto Yakushi had finally gotten the moment he had been waiting for.

Madara Uchiha's resurrection meant that the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan had finally entered its final stage.
An old-fashioned coffin rose from underground, kicking up layers of sand and dirt.
One second. Two seconds.
Crack!
Cracks appeared across the coffin lid.
Mu raised an eyebrow and kicked off the ground, retreating out of the way of the enormous blast of air
