Outside.
The instant the distorted vortex appeared, Oto Uchiha sensed the spatial disturbance. Shuriken fitted with Explosive Tags flew toward it.
In the few minutes since the mysterious masked man had disappeared, she had prepared countermeasures.
Amid the flashes of successive explosions, two figures slowly emerged, seemingly little affected.
When she saw who they were, Oto Uchiha's expression changed abruptly, and she gritted her teeth.
The two figures were none other than Zou Hyuga and Obito Uchiha, who had just finished their conversation. With no threat inside the Kamui Dimension, Obito could use his intangibility without worry.
Oto Uchiha's gaze settled on Zou Hyuga. There was something indescribably eerie about him, and purple chakra tentacles formed around his body.
Those tentacles were exactly like the ones she had seen on Moryo.
This was surely the worst possible news at the moment. Zou really had been affected by Moryo's chakra.
Biting her lip, Oto Uchiha made up her mind and turned to Shisui. "Be careful, Shisui. The will controlling Zou right now might not be his own. If things really become irreversible, I'll have to ask you to use that technique."
Shisui Uchiha nodded lightly. Looking at the chakra around Zou Hyuga, he began to form a few suspicions.

That was why she had asked Shisui to follow her in secret on this outing.
It was partly to guard against an attack
