"Trying to trade blow for blow?"
"Dream on!"
A cold smile curled Naraku's lips. Facing the black Truth-Seeking Orb spikes shooting toward him, he neither dodged nor evaded.
His slash at Obito did not slow in the slightest. Instead, it accelerated further.
He then let the two pitch-black spikes, which embodied the power of all creation and could erase all matter, pierce his vital points.
Shlk!
At the same time, Kurikara in Naraku's right hand cleaved into Obito's body once more, wreathed in a dark-red edge even more searing than before!
"Aaargh-!"

What happened?
*Why was Shihōin Naraku completely uninjured when the
