The powers of the Senju and Uchiha had merged.
Obito Uchiha was very close to the Sage of Six Paths, and very far from human...
Konoha's eastern battlefield.
Kakashi Hatake could handle Kisame Hoshigaki without a problem.
But what came after defeating Kisame Hoshigaki?
What if Karatachi Yagura came in person?
Even if this Three-Tails Jinchūriki was completely controlled by Obito Uchiha's [Sharingan].
His strength was still genuinely Kage level!
Joke around all you liked, but don't take a jinchūriki lightly.
What's more.

Uchiha Minamoto did not know either.

The whole process was so fast that even Uchiha Itachi beside him, with his [Three-Tomoe Sharingan] activated, failed to see it clearly.
"Captain Kakashi, we're almost there."
On his other side,
