The wooden spear conjured by Wood Release had pierced Yu's head. The chance of him surviving was now close to zero.
Even a monster should die from an injury like that, right?
After all, even he wouldn't have survived getting his head blown off.
But for some reason, Obito still felt uneasy. Their Akatsuki Organization had someone with an immortal body—Hidan.
Hidan's immortality was certainly abnormal, but his abilities were too limited. He relied on one sinister power as his main weapon and was weak in every other area. If Obito went up against him, he could be sure of taking Hidan down instantly.
