The fact that this man had approached him without a sound was enough to prove how formidable he was. Nagato had to strike first.
At the thought, Nagato's brow furrowed. He formed a hand seal, sending a massive fireball hurtling toward Obito Uchiha.
The enormous mass of flame roared toward Obito Uchiha's position.
Obito Uchiha knew something of Nagato's strength, but he remained unhurried.
In the blink of an eye, he returned to his own dimension.
When Nagato's ninjutsu had run its course, his eyes widened.
He looked around frantically.
The instant he had unleashed the ninjutsu, Nagato had sensed that the man before him had vanished.
It was not that he could no longer see the man. The man had simply disappeared, as if he had never existed.
In all his years, Nagato had never encountered anyone like him. His nerves tightened at once.
To put more pressure on Nagato, Obito Uchiha chose to reappear directly behind him.
Nagato's sensory abilities had always been exceptional. He sensed Obito the instant he appeared.
A shuriken flew toward him.
But unsurprisingly, the shuriken missed again.
Nagato watched helplessly as the shuriken passed straight through Obito's body and struck the wall behind him with a clang.

Every nerve in Nagato's mind drew taut.
He moved to summon the others from Amegakure.
But before he could launch the signal flare in his hand, Obito spoke first.
"Are you sure you want to call them here? I can't promise I'll show them mercy!"
Obito picked up the shuriken from the ground with an air of amusement. His mask hid his expression, but his one visible eye held an unmistakable threat.
Those few simple words were enough to make Nagato lower his hand.
The man was right. It was not arrogance
