"Carry on. Just pretend I was never here."
Zou Hyuga hurriedly waved his hands, trying to conceal the fact that he had been watching their battle.
It wasn't as though he had never heard of two warring sides setting aside their differences to join forces and kill a third party. If they lost their minds and temporarily teamed up against him, he would never be able to withstand the combined might of the Rinnegan and Kamui.
The Rinnegan's power needed no explanation, and he estimated that Obito's Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan also touched the fringes of the Six Paths level. It was much the same type of ability as Sasuke's Amenotejikara.
Ninjutsu involving time and space always carried a certain air of mystery.
The two evenly matched combatants became even more reluctant to act rashly after Zou Hyuga arrived. Under these circumstances, even the winner might end up handing him the spoils.
As for what Zou Hyuga had said, they simply ignored it.
Since Nagato and Obito had both stopped fighting to look at him, Zou Hyuga could only stare back in silence. Maintaining this situation cost him no extra chakra, anyway.
And so an eerie atmosphere settled over the scene, the silence almost frightening.
"Ahem..." Obito was beginning to lose his composure. Maintaining his Susanoo consumed enormous amounts of eye power and chakra every second. If this continued, he would be the first to give out.
And if he gave up on the other Rinnegan, the one he had seized would become a hot potato.
He couldn't capture the remaining tailed beasts with a single Rinnegan, complete the Eye of the Moon Plan, and trap every living being in the Shinobi World within the Infinite Tsukuyomi's genjutsu.
But if asked whether he regretted it, his answer would absolutely be no.
