Obito was momentarily speechless. Looking at the two Uchiha in the distance, he found himself caught between retreating and pressing on.
He had thought victory was assured and toyed with Oto Uchiha like a cat playing with a mouse. He had never expected the woman with the three tomoe to be stalling for Shisui Uchiha's arrival.
At the last Akatsuki meeting, he had already heard Sasori mention Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan and Susanoo.
Susanoo was not something one could use immediately after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan. It required a period of adjustment.
Yet Shisui used it so skillfully. That meant he had already fully mastered his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Now, facing Oto and Shisui within the spectral avatar, even Obito found the situation troublesome.
With only a single pair of eyes, he could not activate Susanoo, and whether Kamui could distort Susanoo remained unknown.
Having entered Susanoo, Oto Uchiha stared fixedly at Obito and said, "Be careful, Shisui. Besides the Mangekyō Sharingan, this guy has also mastered Wood Release. It can absorb chakra."
Surprise flashed in Shisui's eyes. Looking toward the mysterious Masked Man before him, he noticed several wooden spikes scattered across the ground.
The Mangekyō Sharingan was the Uchiha's legendary eye, while Wood Release was the First Hokage's ninjutsu.
Although he had heard similar rumors in the village long ago, seeing it for himself still left him shocked.
After a moment's thought, Shisui asked, "Oto, he's the ninja who caused the Nine-Tails' Rampage, isn't he?"
Oto Uchiha nodded, then gritted her teeth. "That's right, it's him. I remember the pattern in his eye clearly. I'll never forget it! Zou was just absorbed by his dojutsu, too."
"Something happened to Zou Hyuga, too?"
Shisui's expression darkened. He had never expected Zou Hyuga, who possessed the Byakugan, to fall victim to a
