Whoosh!
Within the gray zone created by Omodaru, chakra dragons swept through every corner!
Memories stirred, and Konan's orange eyes flickered. "That technique is one Nagato used before. Anyone struck by those chakra dragons has their soul sucked out. It's a one-hit kill."
Tobirama analyzed it carefully. "But a fast enough Body Flicker Technique could still evade them. The problem is that everything within that gray zone is frozen except Tsuchima and those dragons. A dōjutsu that stops time? Even among the Uchiha dōjutsu I've seen, that ranks among the very best."
Hiruzen said gravely, "Naruto could escape only if he were outside that gray zone. But all his clones have stopped moving. This... doesn't look good."
Hashirama said in a low voice, "Against a dōjutsu like that, anyone could be killed, no matter how strong!"
"Naruto..." Minato was so tense that his palms were sweating.
Whoosh!
The instant time resumed, Naruto's hidden figure appeared. His soul flew away, and he collapsed, motionless!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
On the perimeter, the four Wood Release: Clones all collapsed as the original died, turning into rotten wood!
Obito used Kamui to appear beside Tsuchima.
Tsuchima said, "He's dead. That was all he had~!"
"That was definitely his soul that flew away..."
Obito looked at Naruto's corpse and said in a low voice, "He's a jinchūriki. If he dies, the Nine-Tails inside him dies too. So we still need to turn back time once more and revive him!"
Tsuchima said, "That Time Stop just now used up Omodaru. I can't turn back time now. You'll have to do it yourself, Lord Obito..."
"That's exactly what I intended." Obito stepped forward. "Time it carefully. The instant he revives, make absolutely sure you suppress him completely!"
Tsuchima asked, "Shouldn't we take his Rinnegan first?"
Obito
