Sakura had no time to react before Obito appeared behind her and seized her.
She immediately used the Substitution Technique to escape, but Obito moved faster. He stayed close behind her and clamped a hand around her throat again.
At the same time, a Vine emerged from Obito's right hand and wrapped tightly around Sakura.
"Body Pathway Derangement!"
Sakura used her signature offensive Medical Ninjutsu, and Obito immediately lost control of his body.
She seized the chance to cut through the Vine with a Chakra Blade, but the next instant, pain tore through her entire body.
Looking down, she saw the Vine wrapped around her drive more than a dozen wooden spikes into her, leaving her drenched in blood.
"Sa... Sasuke!"
Blood spilled from Sakura's mouth. Her face twisted in pain as she struggled to force out those words while looking at Sasuke nearby.
Sasuke glanced at her grievous wounds, then lowered his head again to watch Naruto treat Itachi.
Jūgo and Suigetsu immediately attacked Obito, trying to save Sakura.
But although Body Pathway Derangement had left Obito unable to control his body properly, he could still use his Mangekyō Sharingan to turn intangible. Every attack from Suigetsu and Jūgo passed through him.
And with his arm still touching Sakura, Obito pulled her straight into the Kamui Dimension.
Jūgo and Suigetsu came up empty again.
Ten seconds later, Obito's White Zetsu Cells had restored his control over his body. He gave Jūgo and Suigetsu an amused smile, brought Sakura back out, and said calmly:
"The pseudo-Three-Tails Jinchūriki is mine."
Sakura was in too much pain to speak. Gritting her teeth, she relied on sheer willpower to assess her injuries bit by bit.
At the same time, she looked to Sasuke ahead of her once more, hope in her eyes.
"Sasuke!"
