Chapter 677: You Don’t Actually Think You’re Strong, Do You

Renya sat on the bed, watching Uchiha Obito suddenly appear with a half-smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

He had known this guy would definitely come looking for him.

He really didn’t know where Obito got his confidence from—did he seriously think that just because he had Kamui, he was invincible?

Seeing the teasing expression on Renya’s face, Uchiha Obito felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

Ever since awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, he had never felt like this before.

"You’ve come, Obito."

Renya stood up, a faint smile on his face.

The moment those words were spoken, Uchiha Obito’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at Renya, his heart filled with disbelief.

Why does this guy know my identity?!

Although shocked by Renya’s words, he quickly regained his composure, narrowing his eyes as he spoke coldly:

"I don’t understand what you’re talking about..."

There was no way he would admit it!

He was Uchiha Madara, not Uchiha Obito!

"Don’t pretend in front of me," Renya said. "I’ve seen your future."

Uchiha Obito’s expression trembled. Looking at Renya’s confident demeanor, he didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Could it be that this guy’s Mangekyō Sharingan ability is related to seeing the future?!

The abilities of the Mangekyō Sharingan were diverse and bizarre—it wouldn’t be strange if it included foresight...

"Heh, I didn’t expect you to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan," Uchiha Obito said. "I admit I underestimated you before."

Even knowing that Renya possessed the Mangekyō, he felt no fear.

Only absolute confidence in his own strength!

His Kamui was terrifyingly powerful—far beyond what ordinary Mangekyō abilities could compare to.

As long as he wanted to escape, no one could stop him!

"Do you want to join my plan?" Uchiha Obito extended an olive branch to Renya. "If you’re not lying, then you should have seen my future."

"So? Will you join?" he said confidently. "Together, we can end this rotten shinobi world and create a world without war or pain!"

After learning that Renya possessed the Mangekyō, he wanted to recruit him.

It would make capturing the Tailed Beasts much easier in the future—after all, the Mangekyō Sharingan was extremely effective against them...

"What benefit do I get from joining your plan?" Renya asked, pretending to consider it.

Hearing this, Uchiha Obito’s heart stirred—seems like he can be persuaded.

"I can help you resolve the side effects of the Mangekyō Sharingan," he added. "You must have noticed that it can’t be used recklessly, or you risk going blind."

"That’s true," Renya nodded without denying it.

"But I have a way to solve that problem." Uchiha Obito extended his hand. "As long as you join me, I can help you fix it!"

He believed the conditions he offered were extremely generous—no Uchiha with a Mangekyō could refuse.

As for why he didn’t approach Uchiha Itachi, it was simply because Itachi was difficult to deceive and control.

But the Renya in front of him seemed a bit foolish—just a little persuasion and some promised benefits should be enough to bring him under his command...

Renya nodded and extended his hand as well.

Seeing this, Uchiha Obito was overjoyed. He knew his guess was correct.

There was no way this guy would refuse!

Just as he was basking in self-satisfaction, Renya suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Crack—" a crisp sound of bones breaking echoed.

The smile beneath Uchiha Obito’s mask vanished. His three-tomoe Sharingan locked onto Renya as his voice turned icy.

"What do you mean?!"

This guy actually crushed his hand!

He clearly had a death wish!

"Can’t you tell?" Renya increased his grip. Obito tried to pull his hand back, only to realize he couldn’t move it at all.

Fortunately, the hand being crushed was the one implanted with Hashirama cells. Seeing that he couldn’t retrieve it, Uchiha Obito gritted his teeth and tore his own arm off.

Renya casually tossed the severed arm onto the ground, then met Obito’s dark gaze with a smile.

"I was just messing with you, Uchiha Obito!"

He really didn’t understand where Obito got the confidence to think he could recruit him.

From Hashirama cells?

"You will regret your choice today!" Uchiha Obito said coldly. "I hope you can keep smiling!"

He had actually been toyed with by this guy.

This was a complete humiliation!

This fool would soon pay the price.

"Obito, you don’t actually think you’re strong, do you?"

Renya had long been fed up with Obito’s pretentious attitude.

In reality, he was just like that other guy—always thinking he was amazing, when in fact he was nothing but trash.

During the Nine-Tails incident, he released the Nine-Tails to cause chaos, had intelligence on Namikaze Minato’s Flying Thunder God and Rasengan, and even used the overpowered Kamui ability.

And even then, he still lost to Minato, got hit by a Rasengan, was severely injured, and had to flee.

If Minato hadn’t died with Kushina, and had marked Obito with the Flying Thunder God seal, Obito would have had to carry a blade even when going to the bathroom.

Just in case Minato suddenly showed up and struck him.

During the Five Kage Summit, he lost an arm to Danzō’s guards, Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fū.

If not for the Hashirama cells, he would’ve ended up like the one-armed Raikage.

He couldn’t even fight two elite jōnin without losing an arm, yet he always acted like he was incredibly powerful...

It was only because of Kamui’s near-invincibility and the regenerative boost from Hashirama cells that he could act arrogant in the shinobi world without getting killed.

And that other guy lacked such broken abilities, which is why he nearly got killed multiple times...

Others might not have a way to deal with Obito, but here with Renya, he was in for real suffering.

"You can try," Uchiha Obito said. "Use your Mangekyō to defeat me."

He was already prepared—at the moment Renya activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, he would slip into the Kamui dimension and first gather intel on his abilities.

As long as they weren’t a major threat to him, he could then teach this overconfident fool a lesson!

"You know?" Renya tilted his head, looking at him with a sympathetic gaze. "You give me the feeling of someone trying to be scheming and calculating, but failing to actually understand anything."

Uchiha Obito was clearly foolish, yet tried to act smart...

No wonder he got completely played by Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Obito: "..."

This guy actually dared to insult him!

Damn it—he absolutely couldn’t let him go!

Just as Uchiha Obito was about to make a move against Renya, a concerned voice from outside the room suddenly rang out—it was Shimura Danzō.

"Renya, what’s going on?"

Danzō’s sudden appearance clearly disrupted Obito’s plan.

Uchiha Obito glanced at the door, then looked deeply at Renya.

"We’ll meet again very soon..."

As he spoke, his figure gradually disappeared from the room.

The ability of the Mangekyō allowed him to calmly retreat from anyone.

This was also the foundation of his survival all these years!
