Half for You, Half for Me, You Are Mine...

For a moment, the scene fell silent once more.

Perhaps Kakashi was the only one who had not clearly seen what had happened.

Everyone else had witnessed it plainly.

In that brief instant, Obito's eye had transformed into the Mangekyō Sharingan!

"Leader!"

Low cries rose from the crowd of black-robed figures.

Their voices were filled with astonishment.

The leader of the black-robed figures raised a hand to cut them off, signaling for silence.

He had actually guessed long ago that Obito had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Otherwise, there was no way he could have survived that terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb.

"A space-time ability... What a... gifted child."

"More precisely, you've become the jinchūriki of half the Three-Tails."

"The other half is still inside Rin."

"Half?"

Obito was confused.

A Tailed Beast could be split in two?
