Mei Terumi and Hozuki Mangetsu did not know the Mangekyō Sharingan existed, but they could see the unusual pattern in Obito Uchiha's right eye.
Coupled with the Uchiha Clan's renowned kekkei genkai-the Sharingan-both guessed that this rather unfair move was the enemy's ocular jutsu.
Their guess was spot-on!
However, neither Mei Terumi nor Hozuki Mangetsu had figured out the cooldown of Obito's ocular jutsu, or any other weaknesses it might have.
"He can use Wood Release, and he has the Sharingan!"
"Who the hell is this guy?"
"Why do the abilities of Hashirama Senju, the God of the Shinobi World, and Madara Uchiha, the Asura of the Ninja World, both appear in one person? What purpose is he hiding?"
Had the Uchiha Clan stolen the Senju's abilities, or had the Senju Clan stolen the Uchiha's abilities?
Mei Terumi and Hozuki Mangetsu did their best to probe for weaknesses in Obito Uchiha's abilities, hoping to defeat him.
Standing high in the air, Shihōin Naraku watched the three-way battle with some surprise. He was not surprised that Obito could keep both opposing sides under pressure.
But...
Something was off about how long Obito maintained Intangibility just now!
Naraku knew that Obito could only maintain Intangibility for five consecutive minutes, yet in the battle below, it had already lasted for over seven or eight minutes.
That was rather unexpected.
Watching Obito Uchiha fight, Naraku kept feeling that something was wrong.
Had he gotten stronger?
Seriously?
Naraku could clearly sense that, compared to their last battle, Obito's strength had skyrocketed by more than one order of magnitude.
Not only was Obito's Wood Release tremendously powerful, but it could also absorb chakra. Karatachi Yagura was taking a rather miserable beating.
So Naraku wondered what exactly had happened after he had slashed Obito half to death
