"What do we do next?"
Kakashi turned his gaze to Itachi, his question also directed at Tobirama, who was inside Itachi's stomach.
Itachi lowered his head in thought, actually discussing things with Tobirama, before finally reaching a decision.

Each of his limbs was locked firmly in place by several
