(Meanwhile)

In a clearing situated in a forest many, many miles away from the destruction wrought to the outskirts of Konoha, a distortion in the air suddenly broke the night air. After shimmering and spinning for several seconds, a black mass was unceremoniously deposited onto the grass with a dull thud.

When the smoke trailing the object dissipated into the cold air, the smoke revealed a very burnt, very battered, and very arm and legless Tobi.

Having barely managed to escape the explosion in the armoury that levelled a massive chunk of the neighbourhood, the tattered and still simmering assailant growled and shuddered in pain, as he used his stump of a right arm to try and push himself into a more dignified position. When he lifted his face off of the forest floor, the murderer revealed that the left half of his face had completely melted, revealing a bit of bone glistening underneath the charred muscles.
