Wicked Eye of the Tyrant

Chen Xiaoxi watched this exaggerated performance, his expression not only devoid of any fluctuation, but he even felt a hint of amusement.

Appearances can be deceiving.

Chakra signatures can be deceiving.

However, spiritual pressure never lies.

Before Chen Xiaoxi, who possessed powerful spiritual pressure perception, he could clearly detect that beneath this orange mask, two souls existed simultaneously!

Although one of the souls seemed to exist in a parasitic manner, its aura extremely faint, it still could not escape Chen Xiaoxi's perception.

Therefore, he was basically certain—

At this moment, the person beneath this mask was neither the White Zetsu "Tobi" nor Obito alone.

Rather, it was a combination of the two.

In other words, it was highly likely that two people were currently sharing the same body and the same identity—

Tobi.

Realizing this, Chen Xiaoxi's heart stirred slightly.

This Uchiha Obito actually chose to appear before me in this state, and even wants to carry out a mission with me?

It seems he intends to use this mission as an opportunity to personally monitor me and gather intelligence...

In a mere instant, Chen Xiaoxi immediately assessed the situation.

At this moment, Pain continued to speak, explaining:

"This mission is slightly special."

"The opponent you are to deal with is one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha who once shook the ninja world, Orochimaru."

"Facing someone as cunning as him, you certainly cannot go alone."

"Tobi has the intelligence regarding his location,"

"You only need to follow him, and you will be able to find Orochimaru."

"If possible, it would be best to also find out why he is probing for information on Akatsuki, and... his true purpose."

"As for how to specifically handle him, you and Tobi can judge that on the spot when the time comes."

Pain finished speaking in one breath, devoid of any emotion.

Then, without waiting for Chen Xiaoxi to react, he turned around indifferently and said calmly:

"Let's go, Konan."

"Leave the rest to the two of them to complete."

"...Yes."

Konan lowered her eyes slightly, cast a meaningful glance at Chen Xiaoxi, and then followed Pain as they left the stone cave meeting room.

In the end, only Chen Xiaoxi and the masked man Tobi remained in the entire cave.

On this side, after hearing the mission, Chen Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

It was no problem for him to deal with Orochimaru; after all, Chen Xiaoxi happened to have a mission that required him to defeat three Kage-level powerhouses, and he could take this opportunity to complete it.

The key was that having such a clownish master of acting by his side was a bit...

Just as Chen Xiaoxi was pondering how to handle this, suddenly, the masked man Tobi stealthily leaned in close to Chen Xiaoxi, acting as if he were being very mysterious, and asked in a low, cautious voice:

"Hey, hey, Senior Chen Xiaoxi,"

"I heard from Leader Pain and the others..."

"Besides this sword, you seem to possess a very magical ocular technique that can release various powerful jutsu without hand signs?"

"Is it true?"

The masked man Tobi asked in a lowered voice, his tone seemingly carrying a hint of excitement.

However, what he didn't know was that after he finished asking this question, Chen Xiaoxi, standing to the side, was instantly stunned.

What the hell...

Wait, did I hear something wrong?

Pain actually told Obito... that I have an ocular technique?

Where did this rumor come from?

Chen Xiaoxi's eyelids twitched, but he feigned composure as he looked at the masked man, Tobi, and frowned, speaking indifferently:

"Did Pain tell you that?"

"He did!"

Upon hearing this, Tobi clenched his fists excitedly and chuckled:

"The Leader also said that you, Senior, defeated the immortal ninja Kakuzu with ease using only your ocular jutsu!"

"Not only were there azure flames, but also golden lightning, and an aerial technique that allowed you to walk on air as if it were flat ground!"

"Throughout the entire battle, you didn't even draw your blade! It was so cool!"

Tobi was performing with great enthusiasm.

There seemed to be little stars sparkling around him.

At this moment, after listening to these words, Chen Xiaoxi was slightly stunned at first, and then, he was instantly amused.

This works too?

Although his expression remained unchanged, the corners of his mouth began to twitch upward, and he nearly burst into wild laughter!

Just then, Tobi, standing to the side, seemed to notice something off about his expression and scratched his head in confusion, asking:

"Uh, Senior... what are you laughing at?"

"I was thinking of something happy."

"What happy thing?"

"Ahem."

Chen Xiaoxi coughed, suppressing the smile on his face.

He had never expected that the few Kido spells he had used with incantation abandonment while dealing with Kakuzu would be mistaken for ocular jutsu.

But upon reflection, he understood immediately.

Back then, after he and Konan arrived in Amegakure from the Land of Wind, he had habitually covered his eyes with his spiritual pressure to guard against genjutsu and visual-based attacks.

Of course, the main purpose was to guard against the Sharingan.

Because of this, every time he used his spiritual power, the spiritual pressure in front of his eyes would inevitably fluctuate, creating something akin to a strange radiance.

It was likely for this reason that Pain and Konan, who were watching the battle, mistook it for an ocular jutsu.

What an absurd coincidence!

Thinking of this, an interesting idea suddenly welled up in Chen Xiaoxi's heart.

Heh heh...

Since you say I have an ocular jutsu?

Then I shall play the part of an Oscar-winning actor for you.

With that thought, Chen Xiaoxi suddenly darkened his face, looked at Tobi with an exceptionally serious expression, and said in a low, heavy voice:

"Listen well, intern—"

"My Kekkei Genkai, the ocular jutsu [Wicked Eye of the Tyrant], has always been a secret."

"If you dare to speak of it to anyone else, I will kill you first!"

"Do you understand?"

By the end, Chen Xiaoxi's voice had shifted into a sharp reprimand.

At the same time, he instantly manipulated his spiritual pressure to cover his eyes, and a golden stream of spiritual light appeared.

It looked just like burning golden pupils.

The next moment, he quickly released his spiritual pressure without a trace, slamming it directly onto the masked man, Tobi!

BOOM!!

An invisible, immense force descended from the sky, pressing down fiercely upon the masked man!

The ground beneath his feet instantly collapsed three inches!

"?"

Feeling this bizarre gravity, a look of shock appeared beneath the masked man's mask, and he was utterly stunned!

What is going on?

This guy actually has an ocular jutsu?

At this moment, Brother Obito was completely stunned.

Wicked Eye of the Tyrant?

How was it that he had never heard of such a thing...

However, so these Golden Pupils, aside from unleashing mutated Fire and Lightning Release, actually possessed the power to manipulate gravity as well...

Damn it!

He had completely underestimated him!

Beneath his mask, Obito gritted his teeth and thought rapidly while feeling the invisible gravity pressing down upon his body.

It was only after a moment that he decided to play it safe for now and continue observing before making another move.
