There was no doubt that the figure who had invaded the fortress was none other than Obito, who had only recently obtained the Six Tomoe Rinnegan.
Over the past few days, White Zetsu had uncovered several secret locations for him. Obito had visited and investigated each one, eventually homing in on this hidden fortress buried within a mountain.
He tossed aside the guard whose body had been sheared in half by Kamui and glanced down at him.
"Ahhh! Help, help me!"
The man was still howling on the ground.
Obito's gaze sharpened slightly as he thought, No wonder Shinji assigned him to guard the Ten-Tails. He's got incredible vitality!
Then he looked toward Delta and Ranmaru in the distance and said calmly, "We meet again."
"It's you!?"
Delta and Ranmaru recognized Obito, their faces filled with astonishment.
After all, they had personally led the team that captured him. They had assumed he was still locked up in some cell at the Research Institute. They hadn't expected him not only to escape, but to dare make a move on the Ten-Tails!
As Obito walked toward Delta and Ranmaru, he smiled. "How should I deal with you two traitors?"
"Are you crazy? When did I ever become a traitor?" Delta cursed.
Ranmaru looked equally disdainful. "I serve Nagato!"
"Pointless excuses." Obito kept walking, chuckling softly. "I'll make you regret your decision. But don't worry—you're only the first. I'll uproot Breaking Dawn and reunite you all in hell!"
"Big words!" Delta scoffed, pointed at Obito, and ordered her squad, "Kill him!"
Aside from the squad member Obito had ambushed with Kamui, there were four other defective test subjects in the fortress, besides Delta and Ranmaru.
Seeing that Obito was alone, they quickly recovered from their panic and lunged at him.
"So fast!"
Obito
