The Eight-Pillar Black Formation sealed off Konoha's Wasteland from eight directions.
Fifteen Gates of the Great God pinned down every part of the Ten-Tails Obito had released—its tails, limbs, and head.
Because of the restrictions imposed by the Six Paths Jiazi Lock on the Gates of the Great God... Obito could not withdraw the Ten-Tails from beneath them into his body. This drastically weakened his healing ability, preventing him from unleashing the full power of Ōgetsuhime!
Moreover, with the mysterious dōjutsu of his right Rinnegan and Black Blade: Kusanagi, fashioned from a Truth-Seeking Orb, Sasuke could threaten his life in an instant!
As a result... despite his powerful stats, Obito could only hover high in the air, keeping as far outside Sasuke's attack range as possible!
The instant I opened the barrier just now to release the energy of the Ten-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb, Minato-sensei immediately flew away with that superstrong pink-haired girl and the traitor Jugo.
What was Sasuke trying to achieve with that arrangement? He doesn't seem like someone who would do something pointless.
Obito pondered, his gaze darkening.
Was it to let the liabilities leave? So I couldn't handle those two as easily as I did Nagato... yes, on this battlefield, those two could certainly be considered liabilities.
But I don't think it's anywhere near that simple.
Two hundred meters above the ground, Obito once again focused his gaze... on the boy standing atop the Head-Sealing Gate of the Great God, sword in one hand, looking up at him coldly.
Sasuke clearly has the strength to finish me off by force, yet he's chosen to fight defensively. I don't believe he'd still show me mercy at this point.
Then... he must have a reason he can't kill me immediately.
