Entering the mountain cave, Tendo Pain's phantom was already waiting inside.
"You're late."
Though Tendo was only a phantom created by the Phantom Lantern Body Jutsu, those Rinnegan eyes were still soul-piercing.
"The Jinchuriki was unexpectedly strong."
Deidara's chest still vaguely ached; he'd been on the move without time to rest.
Rumble, the huge stones outside the cave fell, and inside was somewhat dark.
"Let's begin."
Tendo formed a seal with his hands and gestured for Su Xiao to place Gaara on the ground.
As Tendo's single hand slapped the ground, a menacing wave spread out.
Boom!
Smoke and dust rose, and a colossal statue slowly emerged from the ground. It was the Gedo Statue summoned by Tendo.
The Gedo Statue had nine eyes and appeared stone-like, but in reality, it was not. The Gedo Statue was formed from highly concentrated chakra, so dense that it took shape.
Two enormous palms stretched out from the front of the Gedo Statue, with shackles around the wrists.
