Countless Wood Release stakes rained down on Naruto like a torrential storm, the densely packed wooden spears arriving before his eyes in an instant.
But Yomotsu Hirasaka had already opened behind Naruto.
He reached into that space, and in the next moment, the unconscious Sasuke was missing a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.
Obito's expression changed drastically. He immediately reached for Sasuke, but he was still a step too late and could only watch helplessly as Naruto took those eyes away.
"These eyes are mine. You can keep the Nine-Tails. As for the Eye of the Moon Plan, I'm quite interested in it too. Take your time playing around. Hope you enjoy yourselves."
Naruto lowered his head to look at the Mangekyō in his hand, a smile curling across his lips that no one could decipher. Before the Wood Release struck, his figure had already sunk into Yomotsu Hirasaka and vanished completely from before the two men.
Only the Yin Nine-Tails remained where he had stood.
Obito and Madara Uchiha stared blankly at that half of the Nine-Tails, neither reacting for a moment.
Naruto had actually left the Nine-Tails behind?
When Naruto had said he would trade Sasuke's eyes for the Nine-Tails, Madara Uchiha had not believed him at all. He was convinced that even if Naruto obtained the eyes he had given Sasuke, Naruto would never hand over the Nine-Tails. Coupled with Madara Uchiha's innate arrogance, he had originally planned to seize the Nine-Tails first and talk later.
Unexpectedly, Naruto's target from beginning to end had truly been nothing but those eyes.
After confirming that Naruto had left, Madara Uchiha looked at the Yin Nine-Tails with doubt. Controlled by the Rinnegan, the Nine-Tails remained quietly in place without offering any resistance.
"Obito."
Madara Uchiha signaled to him.
