Chapter 677: You Don't Really Think You're Strong, Do You?

Lian Ye sat on the bed, looking at the suddenly appearing Uchiha Obito with a half‑smile.

He already knew this guy would definitely come looking for him.

I really have no idea where Obito gets his confidence; he doesn't think that having Kamui makes him invincible, does he?

Uchiha Obito saw his mocking expression and felt an inexplicable unease.

Since awakening the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, he had never felt this way before.

"You've come, Uchiha Obito."

Lian Ye stood up, a smile on his face.

At those words, Uchiha Obito's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Lian Ye, utterly shocked.

Why does this guy know my identity?!

Although Lian Ye's words shocked him, he quickly regained his composure, squinting coldly as he said, "I don't understand what you're talking about…"

There's no way I would admit it!

He is Madara Uchiha, not Uchiha Obito!

"In front of me, stop pretending," Lian Ye said. "I have seen your future."

Uchiha Obito's expression flickered; looking at his confidence, he was at a loss for words.

Could it be that his awakening of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan is linked to foresight?!

The Kaleidoscope Sharingan's abilities are bizarre; having foresight isn't strange…

"Heh, I didn't expect you to awaken the Kaleidoscope Sharingan," Uchiha Obito said. "I admit I previously underestimated you."

Even knowing Lian Ye possesses the Kaleidoscope, he showed no fear.

Only confidence in his own strength!

His Kamui is terrifyingly strong, not something ordinary Kaleidoscopes can match.

If he wants to run, no one can stop him!

"Want to join my plan?" Uchiha Obito tossed an olive branch to Lian Ye. "If you're not talking nonsense, you should have seen my future."

"So, want to join?" he said confidently. "Together we'll end the decaying Ninja World and create a world without war or suffering!"

After learning Lian Ye has the Kaleidoscope, he wanted to bring him under his command.

That would make future Capture and Seize Tail Beast operations much easier, since the Kaleidoscope Sharingan heavily restrains Tailed Beasts…

"What benefit would I get from joining your plan?" Lian Ye pretended to consider.

Uchiha Obito's heart stirred at the words; it seemed he could persuade him.

"I can help you resolve the side effects of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan," he added. "You must have noticed that abusing it risks blindness."

"Indeed," Lian Ye nodded, offering no rebuttal.

"But I have a way to fix it," Uchiha Obito extended his hand. "If you join me, I can solve this problem for you!"

He thought his offer was generous; any Uchiha with the Kaleidoscope would find it hard to refuse.

As for why he didn't go after Itachi Uchiha, he simply thought Itachi was hard to deceive and control.

And the Lian Ye before him seemed dim‑witted; a little deception and some promised benefits should be enough to bring him under his command…

Lian Ye nodded and also extended his hand.

Uchiha Obito felt a surge of joy; he knew his guess was correct.

This guy would never refuse!

Just as he was smugly pleased, Lian Ye suddenly squeezed his hand.

"Crack—" a crisp bone‑breaking sound rang out.

Uchiha Obito's smile beneath the Mask vanished, his Three Tomoe Sharingan fixed on Lian Ye, his voice cold.

"What do you mean?!"

He actually snapped his hand.

That's just reckless!

"Can't you see?" Lian Ye increased his force; Obito tried to pull his hand out but found it impossible.

Fortunately, the hand being squeezed was the one implanted with Hashirama Cells; seeing he couldn't withdraw it, Uchiha Obito gritted his teeth and could only tear off his arm.

Lian Ye disdainfully tossed the severed hand onto the ground, met Obito's gloomy gaze, and smiled as he said.

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

He didn't understand where Obito's confidence to recruit him came from.

Just because of Hashirama Cells?

"You will regret today's choice!" Uchiha Obito said coldly. "I hope you keep smiling forever!"

He actually got toyed with by this guy.

It's sheer humiliation!

This reckless thing will soon pay the price it deserves.

"Obito, you don't think you're strong, do you?"

Lian Ye had long grown tired of Obito's pretentious attitude.

In reality, like Er Zhu Zi, he always thought he was awesome, but he was just a pile of nonsense.

During the Nine‑Tails Incident, he released the Nine‑Tails to wreak havoc, possessed Bofeng Shuimen's Flying Thunder God and Rasengan intel, and used the god‑defying Kamui skill.

Even so, he never fought Minato; he was hit by a Rasengan, severely injured, and fled.

If Minato hadn't sacrificed himself, Obito would have been marked with the Flying Thunder God Seal, and would have to carry a blade even when using the restroom.

Afraid Minato might suddenly appear and give him a beating.

During the Five Kage Summit, his arm was disabled by Tuan Cang's guard You Nu, Root, and Yamanaka Wind working together.

If I didn't have Zhuan Cells, I would have already become the second arm‑less Raikage.

Even after taking on two Elite Jonin and losing an arm, I always put on a very impressive front…

It's only because I have Kamui's unbeatable ability and the restorative boost of Zhuan Cells that I can show off in the Ninja World without being killed.

But Er Zhu Zi lacks such god‑defying power, so he has nearly been killed several times…

Someone else might not be able to handle Dai Tu, but for Lian Ye, he'll get the old punishment.

"You can try," Uchiha Obito said, "defeat me with your Kaleidoscope."

He was already prepared; the moment Lian Ye activated his Kaleidoscope Sharingan, he slipped into Kamui Space to first gather information on the opponent's Kaleidoscope.

As long as there's no great threat to himself, he can teach this clueless guy a lesson!

"You know what?" Lian Ye turned his head toward him, his gaze sympathetic, "you give me the feeling of trying to be scheming yet being incomprehensible."

Uchiha Obito is clearly stupid, yet he tries to act clever…

No wonder he got duped and crippled by Madara Uchiha.

Uchiha Obito: "……"

This guy actually dares to insult himself!

Damn it, I must not let him go!

Just as Uchiha Obito was about to strike Lian Ye, a worried voice from outside the house, belonging to Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, was heard.

"Lian Ye, what happened?"

Tuan Cang's sudden appearance clearly disrupted Dai Tu's plan.

Uchiha Obito glanced at the doorway, then gave Lian Ye a deep look.

"We'll meet again soon…"

Saying that, his figure slowly faded out of the room.

The Kaleidoscope's ability lets him depart calmly and unruffled when facing anyone.

That's also the capital he's relied on for survival these years!
