On the hidden mountain cliff far away from the battlefield of Kumogakure, the members of Akatsuki had a panoramic view of the short but thrilling battle just now.
Hidan carried his exaggerated Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe, and played the handle of the sickle with his fingers boredly, making a soft "ding-ding" sound, muttering in his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the strange object in the distance that was easily carried on the shoulders of Naruto and disappeared with the light of Flying Thunder God.
"Tsk, that Coffin..."
Hidan licked his chapped lips, with a strange kind of enthusiasm and envy shining in his eyes.
"It looks really good, hexagonal, with tough lines, and the wood texture is very textured, like a high-end Sleep Coffin."
His voice was low, with an almost pious yearning.
"If you can lie down in it, you will definitely have a very, very good sleep, right?"
"I really envy Raikage inside. Although he was caught, at least he can enjoy such great bedding."
The logic of Hidan is always so out of the ordinary and weird. The seal Wooden Coffin that imprisoned Raikage was suddenly understood to be some kind of advanced Coffin, and he yearned for it.
He twisted his neck and made a "click" sound, and his tone became urgent:
"Hey, let me tell you, do you want to take action? I can't wait any longer!"
"That blond Kid carrying Coffin and fighting with others must have consumed a lot of money. That Uchiha girl was distracted and controlling Two-Tails Jinchūriki. It must have consumed a lot of money."
"Now is a good opportunity for a sneak attack. Take advantage of his illness and kill him! Sacrifice them all to Lord Jashin!"
Hidan waved Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe, looking eager to try.
Others, however, reacted lukewarmly to his proposal.
Xie still controlled Hiruko silently, watching the battle in the distance through Hiruko's eyes.
Deidara was somewhat moved, his fingers subconsciously touched the clay bag at his waist, but he did not speak rashly.
Kisame bared his fangs and smiled silently, seeming to be mocking Hidan's innocence.
Kakuzu's green eyes, which had experienced countless winds and rains, turned slightly, and finally landed on the figure in front of him who was wearing a Orange-Red Eyes spiral mask and had been silently watching the battlefield.
His tone was calm, but there was a hint of temptation and questioning that was not easy to detect:
"So, this gentleman who calls himself Madara Uchiha"
"Do you think now is a 'good time' to take action?"
Kakuzu deliberately emphasized the words "self-proclaimed" and "sir", showing that his distrust of Obito's identity has not been completely eliminated.
He needs Obito to make a judgment, and also wants to use Obito's decision-making to further observe the intentions and abilities of this mysterious Masked Man.
Although Kakuzu has never met Madara Uchiha, Madara Uchiha is not a hidden person. This guy is definitely not the real Madara Uchiha.
How could someone as famous as First Hokage act so obscenely?
Obito heard the sound and slowly turned his head.
The only eye exposed under the mask was half-closed at the moment, with a deep and complex light shining in the depths of the pupil.
He had been observing just now, observing Naruto's every move, observing Kumogakure's reaction, and even more so, observing the power used by Naruto.
From the initial wooden sword, to the suspected insight of Byakugan and Taijutsu, to the Wind Release application that easily cracked Raikage Lariat, Then came the Magnet Release·Gold Dust that shocked the audience, and finally the Wooden Coffin that could absorb Chakra and seal Raikage...
And, the performance of Uchiha Hikari.
Her Swordsmanship is Uchiha flow Swordsmanship, she looks very proficient.
Amaterasu and Susanoo are also used very conservatively. It is normal for Mangekyō Sharingan to be able to control Tailed Beast and Jinchūriki. After all, Obito has also controlled them.
As for controlling the time... after all, the opponent has two eyes, and Obito only has one Mangekyō Sharingan. It is normal for Uchiha Hikari to control it faster than Obito.
All of this made Obito's fear and murderous intention continue to grow, but at the same time, it also made him more cautious.
After hearing Kakuzu's inquiry, Obito was silent for a few seconds before speaking slowly in a disguised, low and hoarse voice:
"It's not the time yet."
His voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable determination.
"Wait until Eight-Tails appears."
"Eight-Tails?"
Kakuzu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You mean... wait for Killer B Complete Tailed Beast Transformation to go berserk?"
"That's right."
Obito nodded, looking again at the Kumogakure in the distance that was in chaos because Raikage was captured.
"Now that we are taking action, we are facing Naruto Uzumaki, who may have been consumed, but his condition is still quite intact and highly vigilant, and Uchiha, whose strength is unknown."
"They have just captured Raikage, and their morale and confidence are at their peak. Moreover, although the morale of Kumogakure and Ninja has been frustrated, they have not completely lost their combat effectiveness, especially those Chakra Weapon and Eight-Tails Killer B."
"If we intervene rashly now, we are likely to be attacked by the remaining forces of Konoha and Kumogakure at the same time, and become the target of public criticism."
"However, if we wait until Eight-Tails appears, the situation will be very different."
"Raikage was captured, which greatly stimulated Killer B. Based on the relationship between him and Raikage, it is likely that due to extreme anger and despair, Eight-Tails Chakra would lose control or even go completely berserk."
"At that time, Kumogakure will fall into greater chaos. The rampaging Eight-Tails will become a huge source of destruction regardless of friend or foe, consuming Kumogakure's own strength and forcing Naruto Uzumaki to be distracted from dealing with this 'unexpected' threat."
"And we," Obito's voice lowered, "Can take action at the most chaotic moment, when Naruto Uzumaki is being restrained by Eight-Tails and Kumogakure has no time to take care of himself."
"Target," a cold light flashed in his one eye,
"It can either be Naruto Uzumaki who is unable to do anything at all, or it can be Eight-Tails who is running amok.
Or, get both."
These words made Kakuzu nodded slightly, with a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.
If it was the real Madara Uchiha, he would have rushed out to fight with them long ago. This guy doesn't have the strength of Madara Uchiha yet he still has to pretend to be Madara Uchiha.
For a person like this, even his beloved Girl probably wouldn't dare to confess his feelings in front of him!
How can he have the slightest bearing of a strong man?
Hidan Although I felt that it was not pleasant enough, I also knew that my opinion was insignificant here, so I just said "cut" in dissatisfaction.
However, only Obito himself knows that there is a more important reason why he chose to wait that is not humane to outsiders.
His right eye, the Mangekyō Sharingan that holds the power of Kamui, is not in good condition at the moment.
The Izanagi he had set up in advance changed the reality of death at the expense of permanently blinding an ordinary Sharingan.
However, Izanagi can save lives, but it cannot restore the loss of Sharingan itself.
And due to unknown reasons, his eyes and body were not the original ones but regrown.
Although it is incredible, the Sharingan in his left eye was blind, and the Mangekyo Sharingan in his right eye suffered a huge burden.
At this moment, he could clearly feel that the vision in his right eye had dropped significantly compared to before, and the distant scenery was a bit blurry, and was often accompanied by bursts of tingling and soreness.
What's worse is that the duration and activation speed of Kamui are also significantly affected.
In the past, I could easily maintain the virtual state for five minutes, but now it may be difficult to even maintain it for two minutes; the speed of absorbing or transferring objects has also slowed down.
This is a huge weakening for Obito, who relies heavily on Kamui's ability to fight and save his life.
If you challenge Naruto Uzumaki whose status is unknown and has obviously become stronger now, the risk is too great.
But, fortunately...
Obito subconsciously touched the area around his right eye.
The Hashirama Cells transplanted into his body is slowly and continuously functioning.
That force full of vitality, like the gentlest spring water, constantly nourishes his excessive consumption of pupil power and Sharingan, easing the damage and pain caused by overdraft.
According to his estimate, in about another month, with the continued care of Hashirama Cells, the condition of his right eye Mangekyo Sharingan will basically return to its previous level, and his vision and use of Kamui will be back on track.
He needs time for his eyes to recover.
But he lacked time, so now he would delay a little longer, allowing the situation to further ferment as he expected while allowing his eyes to recover a little longer.
