The Blind Swordsman of the Uchiha Clan

Chiba remained confident in the power of his Hogyoku.

After all, as long as Chiba intended for the Hogyoku to protect Terumi Mei, she would be effectively immortal during that period.

"Obito's base is gone, and knowing he can't take it back in the short term, he will definitely look for a new partner!" Chiba muttered to himself.

Konoha's goal of unifying the Shinobi World had surely been discerned by Obito.

Furthermore, Obito and his cohorts were aware that Kumogakure was already under Konoha's control.

Kirigakure had also become one of Konoha's factions.

And Iwagakure was on the verge of becoming a Konoha territory as well.

"In other words, the only potential partner left for Obito is... Sunagakure?"

Sunagakure's strength was not formidable.

With Obito's current power, it was not impossible for him to seize control of Sunagakure.

Do not be fooled by the fact that Obito had been constantly thwarted by Chiba and Konoha these past few days.

In reality, his abilities remained top-tier within the Shinobi World, and more importantly, aside from Kamui, Obito had received personal tutelage from Uchiha Madara.

If he truly wanted to strike a village with lethal intent, that village would be left either dead or crippled.

In the original timeline, Obito triggered the Nine-Tails Incident, directly killing the two strongest individuals in Konoha at the time, and his constant meddling in Kirigakure had led to a severe drain of talent there.

Compared to Konoha and Kirigakure, Sunagakure really amounted to nothing.

As for Amegakure, that was Nagato's territory.

And since Nagato was Obito's pawn, Obito naturally wouldn't use Amegakure as his true base of operations.

Thinking of this, Chiba smiled.

"That's fine, too. Sunagakure is our next target anyway; if Obito goes there, we can just wipe them all out at once!"
