A sudden whoosh sounded behind him without warning.
Kakuzu's right hand abruptly stretched like rubber, his five fingers turning into five sharp black tendrils that stabbed toward Obito Uchiha's back with lightning speed!
A sneak attack!
Two hundred million ryō in cash! And a heart that combines the power of the Senju and the Uchiha Clan! All mine!
An intensely excited gleam flashed in Kakuzu's green eyes.

His teammate had died too quickly.
Kakuzu had "done his best."
Accompanied by a whoosh.
The black tendrils of Earth Grudge Fear struck like venomous snakes at Obito Uchiha's back.
This strike could pierce even a Jonin's chest!
But just then.
A cyan-blue chakra barrier appeared out of thin air, completely enveloping Obito Uchiha's body.

Susanoo: Ribcage Version!
Obito Uchiha turned his face, his scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan casting a cold glance at Kakuzu through the gaps in the skeletal ribcage.
"Kakuzu, did you think I wouldn't be on guard?"
Kakuzu's pupils abruptly contracted. Without answering,
