Gekkō Raito looked at Obito clutching his shoulder and mocked him. "Scared already?"
Obito was indeed a little scared.
The beam was too fast to dodge, and its angles of refraction were bizarre and unpredictable.
Most frightening of all, Gekkō Raito seemed able to precisely control where every beam landed.
"Too bad it was only your shoulder. Piercing your head would have saved me the trouble."
Obito took a deep breath. "You really are strong. You're one of the trickiest enemies I've ever encountered."
Ever since transplanting Hashirama cells and mastering Kamui, Obito had believed he could count the people in the Shinobi World capable of hurting him on one hand.
He hadn't expected to suffer a setback at the hands of someone younger today.
Now, the red light in Gekkō Raito's eyes shone even brighter, and the Great Sage's auxiliary calculations were running at full capacity.
As long as he used the Red Flame Eye to disrupt Kamui's frequency, he could force Obito to expose an opening.
Gekkō Raito raised his hand, light gathering at his fingertip.
Pew!
The laser fired again, without any windup.
The instant before the beam pierced Obito's body, the ocular power in Gekkō Raito's eyes erupted.
Obito felt a stabbing pain in his right eye, and Kamui's spatial passage stalled for an instant.
Gekkō Raito keenly caught it-his left leg hadn't become intangible!
Crack!
Ice instantly spread over Obito's left leg, pinning it in place.
Immediately afterward, the laser pierced through it!
Squelch!
Blood sprayed as the beam punched straight through Obito's left leg.
"Agh!"
Obito let out a muffled groan, his face filled with disbelief.
Why?!
I'd already become intangible, so why could he still hit me?
Zetsu was dumbstruck as well. *Impossible! He actually struck the physical body in another dimension? How
