Even leaving aside the three onlooking Orochimaru, Obito, who was currently fighting Clone Number One, was growing more alarmed with every exchange.
The Ice Release and Wood Style Jutsu his opponent used so casually looked increasingly familiar to Obito.
He would set Wood Release aside for now. After all, he knew quite a few such techniques himself, having learned them from the real Madara Uchiha.
But Ice Release... there were truly very few people in the Ninja World who could wield that Kekkei Genkai so skillfully.
Before Mizuki Ember became famous throughout the Ninja World, the Yuki Clan had produced quite a few powerful Ice Release users. But compared to those truly standing at the pinnacle of the Ninja World, they still fell far short.
Yet because of Mizuki Ember's emergence, Ice Release, a Kekkei Genkai that was not particularly special, had been forcibly elevated to heights it did not belong to.
And the reason Obito had such a deep impression of Ice Release was precisely because of Mizuki Ember.

In Obito's view, if he wanted to realize the Moon Eye Plan, Mizuki Ember was an obstacle he could not avoid. Sooner or later, they would have to face each other.
