The energy beams from sixty Tailed Beast Bombs poured in from every direction for a full thirty seconds before finally subsiding.
Boom! Boom! At the same time, pillars of light from sixty explosions rose from the far horizon!
Eighty kilometers from the central battlefield, the other portal connected by Yomotsu Hirasaka slowly closed.
Having witnessed everything, Obito remarked, "The most terrifying way to use this technique would actually be to make the enemy the other end of Yomotsu Hirasaka and reflect their attack back at them unchanged. But whether because of his eye power or his mastery, Sasuke can't do that yet. Otherwise, the Ten-Tails would really be in for it..."
Sasuke had already considered what Obito was thinking when he created Yomotsu: Body as Space.
The prerequisite for activating Yomotsu Hirasaka: Body as the Passage was using the Tenseigan's eye power to bring the distance between himself and the surrounding space infinitely close to zero. Only once he was almost equivalent to space itself could he use his body as a gateway for Yomotsu Hirasaka.
If he designated a person or object other than himself, the variables he had to manipulate would increase geometrically. For Sasuke, who had only just awakened the Tenseigan, that was an impossible task.
Moreover, in the heat of battle, he could remain one with space for no more than a minute. Once that minute was up, his Tenseigan would be forced to close, costing him a major offensive trump card.
