"Why didn't I attack, you ask?"
A faint, strange glint appeared in Obito's single eye as his head drooped slightly.
"Of course, it's because I changed my mind!"
The first half of his sentence sounded like a soft murmur.
At that moment, before him,
Nagato seemed to relax slightly.
Then Obito suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"Boom!"
A sonic boom burst through the air.
As a thick aura of murderous intent spread,
"Whoosh!"
Obito's figure flashed forward.
He lunged straight at Nagato and Konan.
"You dare!?"
"Nagato! Fall back!"
She sensed the killing intent at once.
Obito's figure surged toward them without a hint of restraint.
"Dance of the Shikigami!"
Konan reacted at top speed.
She formed the hand seals.
Behind her,
two enormous, gleaming white wings appeared!
Konan surged into the air and swept forward.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
From the wings, hundreds of brilliant white blades shot toward their mark.
They carried an imposing force.
Their razor-sharp trajectories came in at a fierce angle.
"Hmph!"
Obito didn't even need to use Kamui.
His figure shifted with ease.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
"Rumble!"
He dodged every attack perfectly.
"Paper Style: Flower Scatter Technique!"
Konan's expression didn't change.
This was exactly the outcome she had anticipated.
She stirred her chakra once more.
An attack immediately swept over him.
White scraps of paper drifted all around.
As they closed in,
"Hm!?"
"What is this!?"
"Explode!"
From every overlapping angle,
Konan stared coldly at him.
She shouted the command.
A violent detonation shook the air.
Obito's eye, hidden behind his mask, narrowed slightly.
"Rumble!"
A surging wave swept through.
A deafening explosion engulfed everything.
As brilliant flashes burst forth,
a far more turbulent blast of air erupted across the space.
However,
the attack looked devastating,
yet it had no effect at all.
