Chapter 619: Kabuto: This Guy’s Cheating!
As Kabuto attacked Sasuke, Itachi naturally couldn’t rush back to help immediately, but the Third Raikage, faster and closer to Sasuke and Kabuto, could!
As for controlling Edo Tensei?
Don’t forget that Itachi still had Shisui’s Mangekyou Sharingan, obtained from Danzo!
Though the right eye’s Kotoamatsukami couldn’t permanently alter a target’s will, controlling them for a few hours was no issue.
Most importantly, Kotoamatsukami’s supreme genjutsu was strong enough to override Edo Tensei’s spiritual control!
Just moments ago, Itachi had clearly used Kotoamatsukami to control the Third Raikage Edo, making him attack Dragon Kabuto at the critical moment, saving Sasuke.
*POOF!*
Kabuto swiftly used the Great Snake Substitution Technique, shedding his upper body from the waist up, slithering out of his own mouth.
Under the invasion of lightning chakra, even his liquefaction ability was suppressed, leaving him no way to dodge.
He could only shed his skin to save himself.
Simultaneously, he used Muki Tensei, manipulating the surrounding earth to sprout numerous conical spikes, attacking the Third Raikage Edo to prevent further assaults.
