Intelligence War!

Uchiha Obito ground his teeth in rage, countless words surging in his heart, demanding to be spoken!

But when he met Uchiha Jin's half-smiling gaze, Uchiha Obito forcibly swallowed the words that had reached his lips!

Given Uchiha Jin's awful personality, deliberately calling someone by the wrong name was absolutely something he would do!

In the past, Uchiha Jin had often called him Uchiha Runt!

Although he had no idea why Uchiha Jin called him that, Uchiha Obito could sense the intense malicious amusement contained within that name!

Uchiha Obito... Obito... Wait!

Uchiha Obito repeatedly chewed over that name and suddenly recalled Konoha's assessment of his ability scores when he had graduated from the Ninja Academy.

Ninjutsu: 6, taijutsu: 4, genjutsu: 3, strength: 4, speed: 6, stamina: 5, hand seals: 6... and intelligence: 2!

Among these values, "intelligence" represented a ninja's breadth of knowledge and intellectual level—in other words, IQ.

Even Uzumaki Naruto, that reckless dead-last of the same age, had an intelligence score of six! And Rock Lee, Akamichi Choji, and Inuzuka Kiba—those brute-force ninjas who never used their brains—had intelligence scores no lower than four!

Even Hidan, the quintessential idiot, had an intelligence score of six!

That showed just how low Uchiha Obito's intelligence score of two truly was!

In any case, Uchiha Jin had never seen a ninja with a lower intelligence score than Uchiha Obito!

This was the greatest shame of Uchiha Obito's life!

"Damn it!!!"

Having figured it out, Uchiha Obito was so furious that veins bulged on his forehead!

Uchiha Jin actually dared to mock him for having a low IQ!

"Eh, you actually understood what I meant?!" Uchiha Jin wore an astonished expression as he said in surprise, "Don't tell me you've already evolved into Uchiha Xian San?"

"Bastard! Die!"

Uchiha Obito could no longer endure it. Regardless of whether Uchiha Jin had truly recognized him, he charged straight at Uchiha Jin!

He was going to teach Uchiha Jin a lesson!

"Flame Ring!"

Uchiha Jin's expression remained calm as he raised a hand and formed a Sword Finger.

Rings of blazing flames spread outward from beneath Uchiha Jin's feet, centered on him. They bypassed Yahiko and Konan, instantly covering dozens of meters around them!

Feeling the scorching heat of the flames, Uchiha Obito did not dare let down his guard. He immediately activated intangibility to avoid the damage! Yet his charging body did not slow in the slightest, and he still rushed at Uchiha Jin, driving a fist at his face!

Uchiha Jin simply watched Uchiha Obito's fist rapidly approach, showing no intention of dodging.

"Jin Big Brother, be careful..."

Yahiko hurriedly called out at the sight, but before he could finish, he watched in shock as Uchiha Obito's fist failed to connect and instead passed straight through Uchiha Jin's head!

Uchiha Obito's Kamui intangibility was indeed an extremely unsolvable ability. Those unfamiliar with it might even find it bizarre enough to feel fear.

But once one understood the principles behind Kamui intangibility, breaking the ability was no longer so difficult!

When Uchiha Obito activated Kamui intangibility to avoid damage, others could not attack him—but he could not attack them either!

From the start, Uchiha Jin had used Flame Ring to cover the area. If Uchiha Obito wanted to attack him, he first had to suffer the flames of Flame Ring!

That was why Uchiha Jin was not worried that Uchiha Obito's punch would harm him.

"Damn it!"

After missing, Uchiha Obito passed through Uchiha Jin's body, leaped high into the air, spun around, and swept a leg toward Uchiha Jin's head!

Uchiha Jin did not even turn around. Just as Uchiha Obito's leg was about to hit him, he instantly activated Fire Release Chakra Mode, and raging flames erupted over his body!

Uchiha Obito's pupils contracted. Left with no choice, he activated Kamui intangibility at the last moment again, letting his leg pass through Uchiha Jin's head!

Uchiha Obito furrowed his brows. Maintaining his intangible state, he landed and quickly pulled away from Uchiha Jin, leaving the range covered by the flames!

Though they had only exchanged two probing moves, a raging storm had already risen in Uchiha Obito's heart!

For some reason, Uchiha Obito felt that Uchiha Jin understood his abilities extremely well and had been leading him around by the nose!

The two moves just now had seemed evenly matched, with neither managing to hurt the other. But in truth, Uchiha Obito had already fallen into a disadvantage!

The principle behind Uchiha Obito's Kamui intangibility was to transfer the part of his body that was about to be struck into the Kamui Space before the attack landed, thereby avoiding damage.

But flame attacks were not so simple. Avoiding the area of direct contact did not mean one could evade all damage!

Although Uchiha Obito had avoided direct contact with the flames, the enormous thermal energy radiating from them had still affected the areas near his body!

Thus, on the surface, Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Jin had merely passed through each other, with neither harming the other. But in reality, Uchiha Obito's legs had already been burned by the high temperature, and quite a few cells had died!

The flames Uchiha Jin used were simply too hot, far beyond what ordinary fire could compare to!

"Well? Are you still going to continue?"

Uchiha Jin calmly asked Uchiha Obito, who stood some distance away and no longer approached.

Uchiha Obito's expression beneath his mask shifted unpredictably. Though he did not answer, he did not rashly approach again.

A battle between ninjas of their level was ultimately an intelligence war!

If information about his abilities had already been leaked, then his chances of winning this battle were slim!

"What do you want?"

After pondering for a long time, Uchiha Obito knew that if Uchiha Jin truly knew his identity, there had to be a reason for appearing now. So he asked directly.

Uchiha Jin shook his head slightly. "It's not about what I want. It should be about what you want!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Jin casually glanced toward a dark corner in the distance and activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

Uchiha Jin looked at Uchiha Obito, a crimson glint flashing through his eyes.

Uchiha Obito was slightly startled, but after realizing something, he did not resist. He allowed Uchiha Jin to pull him into a rudimentary Illusion Space.

This Illusion Space had no damaging effect. It merely created an absolutely safe space for Uchiha Jin and Uchiha Obito to talk!

The reason Uchiha Obito dared to take such a risk was that Uchiha Jin only had an ordinary Three-Tomoe Sharingan, while he possessed a Mangekyō Sharingan!

As long as he wished, he could break free from the simple illusion Uchiha Jin had created at any time!
