Chapitre 160: Arrogance and Cowardice
I was about to store Nagato's head when Obito finally seemed unable to contain himself and tried to retrieve it by twisting space, with the clear intention of not only regaining the Rinnegan but also taking my forearm in the process!
However, successfully doing this depends on him leaving the head in the same spot for at least two seconds and not having the physical strength needed to move it.
So, exerting more force than I expected, I managed to move the head out of the spatial whirlpool, although the jaw was torn off in the process.
Yuck, now it looks like a zombie head with the lack of the lower jaw and how sunken the cheeks are.
It only needs a touch of green to the skin, and it would be just like certain enemies from the Fallout 4 game!
Although I understand his anxiety, I probably would have opted to eliminate the enemy first by creating the whirlpool in his chest and then recovering the head.
Maybe he didn't want to risk me destroying the eyes with a powerful electric discharge?
Anyway, the point is that Obito failed to recover the eyes, and while he successfully stored Nagato's head in a universal capsule, he tried to figure out where I am hiding.
Given the way the whirlpool appeared, he has to be watching me from somewhere within his field of vision to launch the technique, but my Mantra has not picked up anyone, and that doesn't make sense at all.
Is he hiding like Zetsu inside some tree, and that's why he eluded my senses?
Or maybe he activated his technique, and because his body is actually in the Kamui dimension, I can't detect his presence until he decides to manifest in this physical plane?
At least the Konoha ninjas haven't noticed what's happening, although they are puzzled by the fact that the Pains have fallen "dead" out of nowhere while facing them, as well as the summoned creatures, although these vanished in a puff of smoke shortly afterward.
Some even have disappointed faces when examining the bodies, most likely recognizing the Rinnegan and thinking they could recover it before fleeing or something.
Let me get this straight, with how rare and legendary this dojutsu is, did they really expect six pairs to appear at once, in the same organization, and working together?
I question their common sense... oh, right, this is the world of Naruto; here, common sense is continuously depressed and drinks bourbon by the buckets.
They should thank me for dealing with Nagato before he could use the Chibaku Tensei as soon as he saw Naruto, to ensure his capture, as if he had launched it and now died at my hands, the mini-moon would end up crashing into what's left of Konoha, annihilating the survivors.
As for the destruction caused to Konoha...
Well, in Neji's words: This was its destiny!
Although the Inuzuka clan is returning the "favor," I think I should leave them some gold ingots to help them rebuild the compound during the village's reconstruction. Get a better location, a more comfortable kennel, and a larger garden for the ninken to run around.
Hinata would have had trouble moving so many children if it weren't for the help of her ninja dogs, so it seems fair that they benefit a bit too.
But the most important point at the moment is...
Where the hell is Obito Uchiha?!
Regardless of whether I'm using Mantra or trying to pick up his nervous electrical signals, there's no reaction, and it's frustrating me.
Even Black Zetsu didn't give me as much of a headache, and it was just the half!
No wonder they say he's one of the most cheating characters in the series; between the eyes of the damn Sharingan and Hashirama's cells, he went from being a failed ninja to a deranged failure with a higher level of danger.
Take away the spatial nonsense and the ability to use Wood Release, and even the current Lee could probably beat Obito with one hand tied behind his back, one leg hopping, and a blindfold after taking a shot of margarita.
He hasn't even tried to trap me in the Kamui dimension again; did he escape?
Did he realize that his reaction time couldn't match my attack speed and decided to skedaddle?
Strange, he's supposed to have complete and absolute confidence in his technique to be untouchable. It's like 99% of the reason he has arrogance to fill several buckets.
And without Black Zetsu, the Gedo Statue, or the Rinnegan, he won't be able to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan to reunite with his imaginary Rin.
I'm a bit lost with his lack of reaction, honestly.
Should I make a Sharingan detector or something?
Why let Obito hide in the world; it will give me a huge headache. With his personality, I wouldn't be surprised if he tries some more madness after years of silence.
I still have Mikoto's body that I was preparing to resurrect, so I can take samples of the Sharingan if I need to build something similar.
As for Madara's Rinnegan...
I'll study it to see what I can discover, and then see if I could give Nemu one of them for her birthday.
One eye with the Tenseigan and the other with the Rinnegan.
Maybe it would look aesthetically weird?
I mean, the Tenseigan is much prettier than the Rinnegan.
Hinata could also match, but if the result is looking as sunken as Nagato, I'd rather leave the Rinnegan as a study object in a jar in my personal lab.
Although making artificial versions like the Byakugan might be a bit complicated, it shouldn't be impossible...
Should I perhaps look into the lineage factor for that? It could be useful.
—Has he really left? —Minutes pass, and there's no trace of Obito, which is frankly annoying.
I wanted to finish him off here and now!
—At least I'll be able to get home, and Pakura's stew will still be hot —I consoled myself with that thought, knowing that I won't have to eat cold dinner.
I don't have any butterflies left, so I'll have to go back to Seimeigakure on my own.
—Mmm? —I took out the den den mushi that's ringing and answered the call— Hello, Temari. Was there some situation?
Oh, oh, there's a solemn silence on the line.
What the hell happened this time?
—Enel... The Tsuchikage has been killed by Orochimaru!
