CHAPTER 395 - The Mystery That is Tobi

    Shino commands his swarm of bugs to fly and attack Tobi in two streams.  Naruto is annoyed that Tobi manages to dodge the attack easily, but Kakashi points out that the Aburames don’t excel in single-point focussed attacks but rather attacks that cover an entire area around the opponent.  Kiba tells Naruto to just watch and let Shino do what he does best.

    Shino’s next command is to order the bugs to spread into a loose sphere all around Tobi.  Kakashi notes that it is impossible for anyone to avoid all those bugs.  Shino is intent on finding out the secret of Tobi’s jutsu and uses the command “swarm” to activate a secret technique called Insect Globe.  His insects close in around Tobi and begin to smother him.  Shino states that he will finish the enemy off because he must make up for not being included in the last mission (during the Sasuke Retrieval arc).

    In moments, Tobi is completely covered by Shino’s bugs.  Hinata uses her Byakugan and confirms that Tobi’s chakra is still trapped inside the swarm.  It’s now Yamato’s turn, and he sends four wooden tendrils upward towards Tobi’s location to ensnare him.  Shino indicates that he knows Tobi is still trapped because his bugs are still absorbing his chakra.  However, right before Yamato’s wooden tendrils arrive, something happens and the bugs disperse, but Tobi is nowhere in sight.  Shino is bewildered because his bugs lost all traces of Tobi in a mere instant - this has never happened before.  Sakura suggests that maybe it was a teleportation jutsu, but Shino replies that that can’t be the case because teleportation is merely high-speed movement and his bugs would have sensed which direction Tobi moved in and continued their pursuit.

     Hinata is also at a loss, even with her Byakugan locked on to Tobi the whole time, somehow he still managed to vanish without a trace.  Kakashi believes that a space/time ninjutsu is the only explanation, but cannot explain how Tobi managed it without visible seals or summoning tattoos.  If Tobi could actually activate his time/pace jutsu at will, then it may be even more advanced than the Fourth’s ability.   Sakura concludes that  if Tobi can indeed make himself disappear at will, then he can probably do so with individual body parts -  this explains how Naruto and Kiba’s attacks just slipped through him.

     Using her Byakugan to scan the area, Hinata locates Tobi again in the trees above them.  Tobi taunts everyone, but Kiba had already found him through his scent and attacks with a Fang Drill.  But the attack is ineffective and Kiba ends up drilling through the tree branch and falling back to the ground.  He complains that his attack just went through Tobi again, but Hinata tells him that Tobi just side-stepped out of the way this time.

    A new figure emerges from out of the tree branch Tobi is standing on, it is Zetsu.  Yamato recognizes Zetsu as another Akatsuki member listed in Kabuto’s file book.  Zetsu reports that Sasuke has won and that Itachi is dead.  The news shocks all of the Konoha ninja below, but Tobi claims it was what he had predicted all along.  Zetsu goes on to say that Sasuke has collapsed and is probably fading away fast.  Naruto is alarmed by this news and loudly demands Zetsu, who he refers to as Aloe Vera, to reveal Sasuke’s location.  Tobi switches into his Madara persona and tells the Konoha ninja that he’ll play with them another time.  Kakashi is shocked when he finds a Sharingan starring back at him through the hole in Tobi’s mask.
