Obito activates his sharingan, gaining 15 points of damage reduction for 4 turns. During this time, if any of Obito's allies use a new skill, the cost of their harmful skills will be decreased by 1 random chakra for 1 turn. This skill cannot trigger twice in a row on the same ally. This skill ends if Obito dies.

Energy:

Cooldown: 3

Classes: Mental, Ranged, Instant, Unique.

This is definitely one of the crazy ideas I had for Obito a long time ago. Back when Obito's Sharingan was about to get buffed, I didn't feel it was the right time to bring to the game a skill like this. But I believe that, by preventing the skill from being triggered twice on the same ally in a row, it won't be that strong. Though I'm still excited to see what kind of combos you guys will come up with using this new version of Obito's Sharingan.
