Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi sank into thought.
Above the reservoir.
After rubbing against and crashing into each other for quite some time, Two-Tails Matatabi and Isobu the Three-Tails took their "warm greetings" to a whole new stage.
Two-Tails Matatabi leaped to the other side of the reservoir and faced Isobu across the distance.
The next second.
Two-Tails Matatabi opened her mouth. Yin Release Chakra and Yang Release Chakra surged out, and a dark purple energy sphere formed, swelled, and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
[Tailed Beast Bomb]!
Isobu opened his enormous, bloody maw as well. Yin-Yang Chakra gathered frantically in his mouth, and another dark purple energy sphere, radiating the same aura of destruction, rapidly swelled and took shape.
Two [Tailed Beast Bombs] formed almost simultaneously in the middle of the reservoir.
Terrifying pressure spread in every direction as though it had substance, pressing two enormous hemispherical depressions into the reservoir's surface.
[Tailed Beast Bombs]!
And two of them, at that!
As the two [Tailed Beast Bombs] faced off, even the air seemed to freeze.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed drastically.
Uchiha Setsuna's expression changed drastically.
The Anbu Ninja nearly fainted on the spot from fright.
Almost instinctively, Hiruzen Sarutobi drew the Enma Adamantine Staff from his back, ready to rush forward and try to stop them.
Even pushing the [Tailed Beast Bombs] a little farther away would help!
These were two whole [Tailed Beast Bombs]!
If they collided and exploded here, not just the Naka River Reservoir, but Konoha itself would be caught in the blast!
"Minamoto! Help me stop them!"
"Lord Third, everyone, don't be nervous."
Uchiha Minamoto's voice grew a little more serious.
"Nothing will happen."
The next second.
Uchiha Minamoto's [Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan] shone with a dazzling scarlet light.
[Kamui]!
A spatial vortex
