Yellow sand swept everywhere, with rolling dunes stretching as far as the eye could see. Without an atmosphere to protect it, sunlight blazed straight down, turning the Desert Dimension into a veritable furnace of sand.
Obito stood in a corner of the sea of sand, gazing through the shimmering air at the golden wheel of fire that occupied half the sky.
He had already raised a hand to shield his forehead, but the searing glare still forced something out of his eyes...
Indeed.
Even Kamui could not hide his tears when all he could see was the sun.
Obito lowered his hand, letting the sunlight evaporate the tears covering his face, and murmured in a low voice, "I think I know where this Desert Dimension lies in the broader expanse of spacetime. It's on the far side of the sun, and extremely close to it."
"By that reasoning, is this Desert Dimension itself a Planet? A dead world covered in desert, barren of life!"
He rose into the air, with the blazing light behind him and the sky overhead.
"Like the previous dimensions, its natural energy is almost exhausted, so I can't use senjutsu to sense a wide area. The raging sandstorms also obscure the view as much as possible. If not for the disturbance Kamui picked up and Sasuke's foresight, I would never have thought another living person was hiding here."
He looked down toward the heart of the sea of sand.
"I'll have to use a slightly more brutish method..."
Obito formed a hand seal before his chest, molding his immense chakra—which surpassed even that of a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki—for the technique he was about to unleash!
Once he finished, Obito clasped his hands before his chest, light trembling violently in his eyes.
