What Are You Barking At?!

Kakashi's dead-fish eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his jaw almost hit the ground.

His mind buzzed, his CPU practically smoking on the spot as every tactical analysis in his head crashed together into a complete mess.

The speed Obito had exploded with just now had been so fast that even Kakashi's proud dynamic vision hadn't caught so much as a hair!

No hand seals!

Zero windup!

There hadn't even been any Chakra fluctuations!

This had already gone beyond the scope of the Body Flicker Technique. This was pure explosive power taken to the absolute extreme!
