Tsk...
Hyuga Sho's brain was being seared.
His eyes dimmed.
After a moment.
Just like a blind man's, his eyes had completely lost their luster.
Yet even so.
Hyuga Sho showed no sign of wavering, nor did he reveal even the slightest hint of pain.
"!"
Uchiha Obito's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was already roiling with shock.
He didn't understand.
How could Hyuga Sho remain so calm?
According to how the Caged Bird Seal was supposed to work, Hyuga Sho's brain and eyes should have been destroyed.
At this point, not to mention being completely dead.
He should at least have been reduced to a vegetable.
His Byakugan should have been sealed as well, rendered completely useless.
There was no way he could be like this, taking the activation of the Curse Mark head-on!
"I'll show you something good too..."
Hyuga Sho suddenly spoke.
Uchiha Obito was stunned.

Hyuga Sho said to Nohara Rin beside him, "Rin, I need to ask you to do something next."
Nohara Rin didn't understand.
If Uchiha Obito was utterly astonished at this moment.
Then she was completely dumbfounded.
She had no idea what the interaction between the mysterious figure wrapped in a white shell and Hyuga Sho meant.
Who was he?
Was he an enemy?
"To defeat the enemy, I need you to trust me 100% from now on... No matter what happens, it's all for the sake of defeating the enemy... Is that okay?"
"Eh?! O-okay... Deputy Head."
Was he an enemy?
Having confirmed this, Nohara Rin obediently nodded.
If he's an enemy... To defeat him, comrades should trust each other, shouldn't they?
And Nohara Rin...
Had no idea what Hyuga Sho meant by "no matter what happens"...
The next moment.
Right in front of Uchiha Obito,
