Obito said calmly.
"Easy. Just give me a moment."
He brought his hands together and entered Sage Mode.
Orange markings appeared around his eyes, and his pupils took on a toadlike pattern. The signs were unmistakable.
"Well? That should prove who I am, right?" he said smugly.
But Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan only stared at him in confusion.
Konan asked outright,
"What... are you doing?"
"Uh..."
Obito scratched his head and dropped out of Sage Mode.
Had the three of them never seen Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode?
Come to think of it... that's possible.
Damn it. So much for showing off!
Obito bit his finger and slowly began forming Hand Seals.
"Looks like I'll have to prove who I am another way."
"You all know Lord Jiraiya signed a Summoning Contract with Mount Myōboku, right?"
The three exchanged glances and nodded.
Obito breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew. Then we're good. Summoning Jutsu!"
He slapped his palm against the ground.

He let out a long sigh.
"Obito Uchiha, right? Why do you always summon me at dinnertime?"
"Doesn't look like you need me to fight anyone. I've still got half a bowl of food waiting, so I'm heading back!"
With that,
he didn't even give Obito a chance to say hello.
Gamashin vanished with a poof.
Yahiko: "..."
Nagato: "..."
Konan: "..."
Obito: "...Ahem. So, you believe Lord Jiraiya is my teacher now, right?"
Yahiko nodded in relief.
Then he smiled apologetically.
"Yes. I'm sorry about earlier... little junior brother."
"After Hanzō turned on us, I was worried you had an ulterior motive."
Obito smiled back.
"It's all right. I understand."
In truth,
