High in the sky.
The closer he got to the moon, the more restless the "Eye of the Moon Plan" in Obito's forehead became.
"It's time!"
Taking a deep breath, Obito first closed the "Eye of the Moon Plan," then abruptly opened it and poured all of its ocular power onto the moon's surface.
In an instant, beneath the dazzling night sky, the originally bright full moon turned crimson as blood.
"The... the moon turned red?"
"How could this happen?"
"What... what did he do?!"
The survivors on the battlefield all noticed the moon's abnormality at once. As they stared at the blood-red moon in the night sky, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.
No one could explain why they felt so panicked. It was more like an instinctive reaction to danger shared by all living things.
Tsunade suddenly pointed at the moon and shouted, "Look!"
In truth, no reminder from Tsunade was needed. Everyone who had been watching the moon had already noticed that after it turned crimson, new changes appeared on its surface: rings resembling the Rinnegan's pattern, along with nine Tomoe arranged in three symmetrical groups.
"It's a red Rinnegan with nine Tomoe!" After a pause, Orochimaru said thoughtfully, "That pattern is exactly the same as the eye that grew from Uchiha Obito's forehead!"
Because he had instinctively coveted the "Eye of the Moon Plan," Orochimaru had previously studied the eye in Obito's forehead closely. Thus, he recognized at a glance that the pattern on the moon was precisely the pattern of Obito's "Eye of the Moon Plan"!
The injured Jiraiya asked breathlessly, "What is he trying to do?"
"I don't know either. Back in Akatsuki, he always hid behind the scenes, so I didn't know much about him." Shaking his head, Orochimaru wore a gloomy expression.
