Obito glanced at Liao Wu without saying anything.
He knew the Mangekyo could drive people to extremes. He had experienced it himself, and he had never tried to change.
Obito preferred to call that extremism clarity—the clarity to see the despair in this world.
Liao Wu took a sip of wine and continued discussing Itachi. "It seems whoever stole Itachi's body knew about your plans, Madara. They want to stop Sasuke's eyes from becoming an Eternal Mangekyo."
Obito nodded.
"But who could it be? I've never revealed my plans. No one should know about them."
Obito was also wondering who had ruined his plans.
This person must have understood the Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyo very well and known that reversing the decline in a Mangekyo's pupil power required transplanting a blood relative's eyes.
Then again, not necessarily. Perhaps someone was simply interested in Itachi's corpse.
If Orochimaru hadn't been sealed by Itachi's Totsuka Blade, Obito would have suspected him.
That man possessed the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation, which could summon the souls of the dead from the Pure Land to serve as puppets.
But Orochimaru had ultimately been sealed by Itachi's Totsuka Blade, leaving Obito without a suspect.
Obito glanced at the members of the Hawk Team and asked, "Did Orochimaru have any other subordinates worth paying attention to?"
Suigetsu looked at Obito. "Orochimaru had loads of subordinates. We're the only ones worth noticing, but we've already left him."
Karin said, "If you're talking about someone worth noticing, there's Kabuto!"
"Kabuto?!"
Obito was puzzled.
Karin nodded. "His Medical Ninjutsu is extremely advanced, and he's always considered Orochimaru his benefactor. He might try to avenge him."
Sasuke snorted. "Kabuto will never become Orochimaru!"
Obito made a mental note of Kabuto, planning to have White Zetsu find him later and keep watch
