Obito Uchiha stole a discreet glance at Madara Uchiha, who had begun fighting Hashirama Senju again.
He could not quite figure out what Madara was planning.
With a formidable enemy like Shihōin Naraku already here, why was Madara still in the mood to fight someone else?
Did Madara not understand who the most threatening enemy really was?
As Obito frowned in thought, he suddenly froze, feeling an intense gaze fall upon him.
Turning his head, he immediately saw Shihōin Naraku staring at him.
Damn it!
No wonder Madara was ignoring Shihōin Naraku!
He knew Naraku would set his sights on me now.
A chill involuntarily rose in Obito's heart, but he quickly recovered.
He was the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki now!
In the entire Shinobi World, only the Sage of Six Paths of old had stood on the same level as him. Other ninja were beneath mention.
Obito could think this way because his strength had grown so dramatically after he became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
So it was hardly surprising that he had such confidence.
Besides, for the Allied Shinobi Forces to resist him now, those few elite ninja had to join forces just to barely hold their own against him.
Naturally, this only strengthened Obito's confidence.
But he had fought Naraku more than once, and even now that he had become incomparably powerful, the shadow in his heart had not faded.
So when he saw Naraku's unwavering gaze fixed upon him, he still could not help feeling rattled.
Of course, he quickly suppressed that feeling.
"Shihōin Naraku, you've finally come!"
Obito steadied himself. The Ten-Tails' immense chakra surged within him, and that sense of power, as though he could control everything, quickly restored his composure.
He hovered in midair, Truth-Seeking Orbs slowly revolving behind him, his gaze meeting Naraku's from afar.
