Obito suddenly raised his hand. The ground cracked, and several thick vines shot out, stabbing straight at Kakashi's chest!
"Wood Release?!" Kakashi's pupils trembled violently, his mind buzzing.
Wasn't this the First Hokage's signature ninjutsu?
Since when could Obito use it?!
He hastily leaped backward, but the vines pursued him relentlessly, nearly skewering him.

Just as Yūto tried to resume forming hand seals, White Zetsu split into over a dozen clones, which all
