Just then, Hinata suddenly let out a cry, "Naruto, watch out!"
It turned out that after the Nine-Tails claw Naruto had thrown earlier passed through Obito, it should have naturally retracted at once.
But no one expected that at this critical moment, Obito, who had been on the defensive the whole time, suddenly made his move and grabbed the retracting Nine-Tails claw with lightning speed.
In an instant, a huge vortex appeared around Naruto without warning.
It was obvious that Obito intended to pull both Naruto and Hinata, who were wrapped inside the Nine-Tails cloak, into his Kamui space.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Naruto failed to react immediately.
Fortunately, Kurama inside him responded in time.
Without hesitation, it severed the connection with the part of the Nine-Tails cloak in Obito's hand.
Having lost its support, Obito immediately lost his balance and nearly stumbled to the ground.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Naruto quickly came back to his senses, clasped his hands together, and shouted, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
A series of dense popping sounds rang out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
More than a dozen Narutos glowing with golden light appeared, each carrying Hinata in his arms.
Even Kaguya had difficulty distinguishing those shadow clones, and Obito naturally couldn't either.
Faced with so many golden Narutos whose real identities were impossible to tell apart, he found himself unable to do anything for the moment.
Seeing that they seemed ready to split up and flee in different directions, Obito quickly steadied himself. The Sharingan in his eyes began spinning rapidly.
At the same time, his hands formed seals at high speed.
He took a deep breath and then forcefully spewed blazing flames toward the Narutos.
"Fire Release: Wild Dance of Exploding Flames!"
With Obito's shout, the flames from his mouth intertwined with the space distorted by Kamui.
Instantly, a violent hurricane roared into existence, carrying scorching fire and forming a massive spiral storm.
Like a ferocious beast, it rushed toward the group of Narutos and the Hinatas in their arms.
In the next moment, the spinning flames became like a burning dragon, crashing down on them with overwhelming force and heat.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Explosions rang out one after another as the flames swept through everything like a typhoon.
Under the impact of that terrifying power, clouds of smoke rose into the air along with a series of dull sounds.
In the blink of an eye, several Narutos disappeared under the fierce assault.
However, after the flames gradually died down, Obito was surprised to discover that only one Naruto remained standing alone.
As for Hinata, who should have been held in his arms, she was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Obito's expression stiffened, and disbelief appeared in his eyes.
The Wild Dance of Exploding Flames he had just used was extremely powerful and incredibly fast.
Under normal circumstances, there should have been no way for his target to escape in such a short time.
But the fact was that Hinata had completely vanished.
The task Black Zetsu had given him was clearly about to end in failure, making Obito's expression extremely ugly.
He never imagined that Naruto, only sixteen years old, would outplay him and make him lose face.
Naruto clenched his fists and slammed them together one after the other. Anger and confidence showed in his eyes as he shouted, "You bastard! You actually dared to step into our Konoha Village! I'm going to beat you flat today!"
Hearing that, Obito snorted and replied disdainfully:
"Hmph! You ignorant brat. So you're also the Nine-Tails jinchuriki."
As he spoke, his Kamui eye began spinning rapidly.
In an instant, several gigantic shuriken over a meter in diameter shot out from it and sped toward Naruto like a storm.
However, Naruto showed no sign of panic in the face of such a fierce attack.
Just as the giant shuriken were about to reach him, an even stronger chakra presence suddenly erupted from his body.
In an instant, dazzling golden light burst forth.
Nine brilliant golden fox tails suddenly appeared behind Naruto like flashes of lightning.
As the Nine-Tails tails swung violently, carrying tremendous force, they easily knocked away the giant shuriken Obito had launched.
A series of crisp metallic collisions rang out.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The giant shuriken crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up dust and producing deep impacts.
Obito stared at the Nine-Tails tails behind Naruto and could not help feeling a trace of caution.
He thought to himself, 'This should be the most perfect jinchuriki state.'
'Unbelievable. Naruto has already reached such a terrifying level of strength?'
At that moment, Naruto quickly moved to the side.
At the same time, the enormous Nine-Tails tail behind him, as large as a small hill, suddenly rose and lashed toward Obito with tremendous force.
However, Obito remained unusually calm in the face of the attack because he was currently in his intangible state.
The thick Nine-Tails tail passed straight through his body without meeting any resistance.
"Hmph! You really overestimate yourself. You dare fight me?"
The corners of Obito's mouth lifted slightly into a mocking smile.
Immediately afterward, an overwhelming amount of pupil power surged from his eyes like a raging sea and flooded toward Naruto.
Clearly, Obito intended to use his absolute advantage in pupil power to completely control Naruto.
Back then, he had been able to suppress tailed beasts through pupil power with just a single Mangekyo Sharingan.
Now that he possessed the even stronger Dual Kamui, his pupil power was on an entirely different level.
But something happened that Obito never expected.
Just as he released his pupil power with all his strength, a brilliant golden light suddenly erupted from Naruto.
The light instantly became so intense that it was almost impossible to keep one's eyes open.
Then it expanded at an astonishing speed and transformed into a gigantic golden fox dozens of meters tall in the blink of an eye.
Obito's whole body shook. He instinctively covered his eyes with one hand and staggered several steps backward.
His previously calm face was now filled with disbelief.
He could not imagine that even in this state, the Nine-Tails still could not be controlled by his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Not only that, during the mental clash just now, even Obito himself seemed to have suffered a slight loss.
While Obito was still shocked, sharp whistling sounds suddenly came from the distance one after another.
Judging by the sound, more than one person was approaching.
Obito gritted his teeth and glared at Naruto. Then, filled with resentment, he plunged into the Kamui space to go support Black Zetsu.
