On the day they were to make their move.
Before controlling Yagura to meet Bai Ye, Obito had already prepared everything.
But one problem now stood before him.
Kirigakure lacked a decisive fighting force!
And the team of Itachi and Juzo Biwa he had arranged to bring over could not appear in Kirigakure.
After all, it was best for the Akatsuki to stay out of the public eye for now.
Compared with everything else, the plan was Obito's top priority.
Yet this very issue made Obito think of another problem. "Then... how am I supposed to make Shisui use up Kotoamatsukami? Who should I send?!"
As far as Obito was concerned, this really was troublesome.
Who did Kirigakure even have among its top fighters now?!
The only one he could think of who amounted to anything was Yagura.
The others were simply too weak.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?!
Only Hozuki Mangetsu had been worth considering, but he had already been killed off.
The Yuki, Kaguya, and Hozuki Clans.
These ninja clans of Kirigakure were all gone.
Utakata had defected. The Six-Tails Jinchuriki had left.
As for the other powerful fighters, most were dead, and few capable ones remained.
Some had potential, but they were nowhere near enough to force Shisui to use Kotoamatsukami.
Kisame Hoshigaki was a promising prospect, but Obito wanted to recruit him into the Akatsuki.
So after going around in circles, Obito discovered a problem.
He simply had no one who could carry this out for him.
Would he have to go himself?!
Obito did not dare test Kotoamatsukami.
If that ocular technique really could alter someone else's will at whim...
It would only need to change his will for an instant, making him remove his mask and expose his face to the shinobi
