Back to Square One Overnight

By the time the Raikage arrived,

Yugito had already died in Yōya's arms.

But Yōya remained calm, suppressing all his emotions while Obito and Black Zetsu faced off.

He took out a Storage Scroll and sealed Yugito's corpse inside.

The clan head had said that even the dead could be brought back to life.

The clan head would not lie to him.

Yōya did not flee immediately. Instead, he took advantage of the delicate tension between Obito and Black Zetsu to recover some of his strength.

The Raikage's arrival gave Yōya a chance to catch his breath.

His physical condition was terrible, but his eyesight was even worse.

The whites of his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins. The Mangekyō Sharingan brought not only pain, but also a draining sense of weakness.

Yōya panted as he quickly told the Raikage:

"Obito is only tangible when he uses his Mangekyō Sharingan ability."

"But he has Susanoo. With your strength, you are no match for him."

"Only the Uchiha Clan has the means to restrain him."

The Uchiha Clan had a complete Reverse Summoning system, and Yōya had already placed Yugito inside the Storage Scroll.

He could leave through Reverse Summoning.

When he had sent out the message earlier, Obito had taken the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path away.

Yōya had no idea when Obito would reappear.

In the message he sent to Konoha, he had said that Obito had summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

He told them to be extremely careful when they came.

After all, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was not easy to handle.

Because he had needed to carry Yugito, he could not leave directly through Reverse Summoning.

Now that Yugito had been sealed away, he could.

Not much time had passed
