"Why did I lose?"
Obito couldn't understand. Heaven had clearly given him a chance to escape certain death. He had lost both eyes and been sealed, yet still escaped the heavily guarded Research Institute.
After that, he had overcome every obstacle along the way. In just over a month, he had awakened the Rinnegan, obtained the Six Tomoe Rinnegan, and even smoothly become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!
So he couldn't understand why he, someone so clearly favored by fate, had lost!
Shinji, who had sent Obito flying, didn't stop. He continued walking toward him at an unhurried pace.
Hearing Shinji's approaching footsteps, Obito struggled to prop himself up. "Was my will not strong enough? Why was my Heavenly Goad cut in half? That's impossible! Impossible!"
Shinji's expression remained blank.
A mind-sword like the Heavenly Goad, much like a mind's eye such as the Mangekyō Sharingan, could often have unexpected effects in the hands of certain people!
But the spiritual power born of one's will ultimately had its limits, just as the Dojutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan did.
So the reason Shinji's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion had cut through Obito's Heavenly Goad wasn't that Obito's will was too weak. It was simply that Shinji was far, far stronger than him.
Seeing Shinji approach, Obito had lost the will to fight. He was gradually realizing that he was no match for Shinji; the two of them seemed to be on entirely different levels. So he immediately activated Kamui, preparing to escape.
But just as a warped vortex began to form, it suddenly vanished without warning.
There was no doubt about it: Shinji had activated Heavenly Rock Door.
He had to capture Obito alive, but Obito's Kamui was too troublesome. So before capturing him, Shinji had gone to Hikaru and asked him to use
