Uchiha Obito clenched his teeth in fury.
Countless retorts surged in his mind, desperate to burst out—but the moment he met Uchiha Ren's half-smiling gaze, he forced those words back down his throat.
Given Ren's mischievous personality, deliberately calling someone by the wrong name was absolutely something he would do.
Back in the past, Ren had often called him "Uchiha Runtu."
Obito never knew why Ren used that name, but he could always sense a thick layer of malicious humor hidden behind it.
Uchiha Kenji… Kenji…
Wait a second!
As Obito rolled the name over in his mind, he suddenly remembered the ability evaluation chart Konoha had given him when he graduated from the Ninja Academy.
Ninjutsu: 6
Taijutsu: 4
Genjutsu: 3
Strength: 4
Speed: 6
Stamina: 5
Hand Seals: 6
…and Wisdom: 2
Among those statistics, "Wisdom" represented a shinobi's knowledge base and intelligence level—in other words, their IQ.
Even Naruto Uzumaki, the reckless dead-last of his generation, had a Wisdom score of 6.
As for straightforward fighters who barely used their brains—like Rock Lee, Choji Akimichi, and Kiba Inuzuka—their Wisdom scores were at least 4.
Even Hidan, a famously idiotic member of the Akatsuki, had a Wisdom score of 6!
From this comparison alone, one could see just how embarrassingly low Obito's Wisdom score of 2 truly was.
In fact, Ren had never seen any ninja with a lower Wisdom score than Obito.
It was practically the greatest humiliation of Obito's life.
"Damn it!!!"
Realizing this, Obito's veins bulged with anger.
That bastard Uchiha Ren was mocking his intelligence!
"Oh?" Ren said with exaggerated surprise.
"You actually understood what I meant?"
He looked genuinely amazed.
"Could it be… that you've already evolved into Uchiha Kenji the Third?"
"You bastard! Die!"
Obito completely lost his patience.
He no longer cared whether Ren had truly recognized his identity or not.
Charging forward, he lunged straight at Ren.
He was going to teach this man a lesson.
"Flame Commandment!"
Ren remained perfectly calm.
Raising two fingers like a sword gesture, he activated his technique.
Blazing flames erupted outward from beneath his feet, spreading in expanding rings centered on him.
The fire carefully curved around Yahiko and Konan before engulfing the surrounding area within dozens of meters.
The air instantly became scorching hot.
Feeling the terrifying heat, Obito didn't dare be careless.
He immediately activated Kamui's intangibility to avoid the flames.
Yet his charge did not slow in the slightest.
Still intangible, he rushed straight at Ren and threw a punch toward his face.
Ren calmly watched the fist approaching him.
He didn't even attempt to dodge.
"Big Brother Ren, watch out—!"
Seeing this, Yahiko hurriedly shouted a warning.
But before he could finish his sentence, his eyes widened in shock.
Obito's punch…
Didn't connect.
Instead, his fist passed straight through Ren's head.
Kamui's intangibility was indeed an incredibly troublesome ability.
To someone unfamiliar with it, the technique could seem eerie and invincible, easily inspiring fear.
But once you understood how Kamui's intangibility actually worked…
Breaking it became far less difficult.
