Outside the Nest, in an open clearing, Madara, Obito, Tobi, and Black Zetsu stood at the four corners of a square. Together, they formed hand seals and pressed their hands to the ground!
-Barrier: Four Red Yang Formation!
Boom!
Crimson walls rose, forming a vast, sealed barrier!
Obito surveyed it. "So this is the Four Red Yang Formation? They say it's the strongest barrier ninjutsu, requiring four ninja with Hokage-level strength to cast together. It really is... more than ten times stronger than the Uchiha Flame Formation! So, what next?"

But Madara's reply was startling. "Hmph. There's no need for all that trouble!"
Obito was incredulous. "What did you say? Those
