Awakening the abilities of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan required a catalyst... but Obito, who now truly rivaled the Sage of Six Paths, seemed to have broken that restriction.
"Hm?" The instant his new ability awakened, Itachi's Ame-no-Uzume sensed it too. He closed his eyes and held his fingers just above his right eye socket.
"I sensed a surge of eye power... Divine Illumination, is that the new dōjutsu's name?"
Holding a hand over his left eye socket, Obito could not resist complaining. "Are you a detector, Itachi? I'm the one using it, and I'm still reading through the information in my head, yet you've already blurted out its name..."
Kabuto joined in with a quip. "Divine Illumination. That name sounds like a combination of 'Kamui' and 'Amaterasu.' Could it release flames with space-time properties? Cremate the opponent and pack up their ashes for removal, all in one convenient service..."
"You certainly have an imagination," Obito said. "But that's not how it works."
Lowering the left hand covering his eye, Obito had finished learning the truth about his ability. He turned toward Sasuke, who was staring intently at him.
"Sasuke, make a Truth-Seeking Orb," Obito said.
Without another word, Sasuke created a Truth-Seeking Orb and sent it flying into the air.
Obito raised his left hand again, spreading his middle and ring fingers to hold them just above either side of his left eye socket.
Bzz! His Mangekyo pupil trembled... and emitted a red glow! His gaze focused on the rising Truth-Seeking Orb!
Divine Illumination!
Pop! A faint glow first spread across the Truth-Seeking Orb's surface. Then, with a slight tremor, it vanished into thin air.
Under Sasuke's astonished gaze, Obito slowly explained, "Divine Illumination. This technique's mechanism is brutally simple. It annihilates whatever my gaze focuses on. That's all."
