Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Xia Zuo realized that his actions were too late.

Just behind Obito, several Uchiha ninjas chased after him, throwing kunai, using fire-style techniques, or even lunging at him with their ninja swords.

When Xia Zuo arrived at the battlefield, several Uchiha ninjas were easily killed by Uchiha Obito. His ability to freely switch between illusion and reality was simply too strong.

Obito Uchiha hoisted the scythe back onto his shoulder, letting the blood drip from the blade.

Just then, Uchiha Izumi and several of her friends heard the commotion and rushed over, only to find Uchiha Obito and the corpse on the ground.

When Obito Uchiha looked at Izumi Uchiha, he discovered that the angry girl had just advanced to the three-tomoe Sharingan.

This unexpected find made him exclaim with satisfaction, "What excellent eyes! I'll accept them without hesitation."

The chains on the scythe rattled as they lashed out at Uchiha Izumi with incredible speed, a tricky angle, and an unpredictable trajectory, leaving Izumi with no way to dodge.

At that moment, the girl had only one thought in her mind: "The enemy is too strong, brother, please don't come!"

The next second, the tall Xia Zuo appeared in front of Uchiha Izumi and casually slapped away the chains.

Upon seeing Xia Zuo's retreating figure, Uchiha Izumi instinctively called out, "Brother!"

The next instant, she cried out in terror, "Brother, run! He's an Uchiha with the three-tomoe Sharingan!!"

Obito Uchiha sensed Sasuke's strength from his interrupted attack. He abandoned his nonchalant attitude and began to carefully observe the newly appeared ninja.

Xia Zuo was tall and wore the most ordinary genin clothing, a Konoha headband, and strangely carried a huge coffin on his back.

Obito Uchiha complained, "Seriously, that rat in the gutter is really incompetent. He can't even do something as simple as keeping watch properly, letting in some irrelevant ninja."

Obito Uchiha muttered to himself, oblivious to everyone else: "Oh well, it's just killing one more ninja, it won't cause much trouble."

Xia Zuo turned his head and comforted the panicked Uchiha Izumi, saying, "Don't worry, this bug is no match for me."

His words stunned both Izumi and Obito.

Obito pointed to the eyes peeking out from the holes in his mask and said, "Are ninjas with three-tomoe Sharingan considered bugs?"

"The Uchiha clan has fallen so low that they can be mocked by genin. They really are damned trash."

"However, I'm not like those good-for-nothings; my eyesight is invincible..."

With a loud bang, Xia Zuo suddenly appeared in front of Uchiha Obito and kicked him in the chest.

The xiphoid process, the point where Obito landed on his chest, suddenly lurched backward, almost breaking its connection with his ribs. The spreading impact shattered all of Obito's ribs.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he were stronger and could have perfectly utilized his speed advantage, kicking the sword-shaped bone away and tearing its heart apart, the battle could have ended immediately.

Unfortunately, Xia Zuo has to keep all his muscles taut at all times, using most of his strength to resist acceleration and protect his internal organs from damage.

This resulted in his powerful, high-speed kick to the heart being less destructive than a punch thrown while standing still.

Against a different enemy, he could easily use kunai or senbon needles to attack vital points, but Obito Uchiha's half-body is a White Zetsu with extremely strong self-healing abilities, so only his heart and brain are considered vital points.

Kicked into the air, Obito, his mouth full of blood, was completely dazed and didn't even realize how he had been sent flying.

Before Obito could recover from his shock, Xia Zuo had already jumped to his side with even greater speed and slammed his elbow into Obito's chin.

In a fight, an ordinary person might be knocked unconscious by a blow to the chin, let alone a powerful ninja like Xia Zuo.

The elbow strike fractured the mandible, and all four molars flew out.

His head was buzzing, and he was in a state of dizziness and loss of control.

Taking advantage of Obito's dizziness, Xia Zuo deactivated Swift Release, looked down at Obito's forehead, and swung his whip kick with all his might.

Xia Zuo's power primarily comes from the pirate Xia Zuo, a truly powerful force capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

If he didn't need to counter the extremely high acceleration of Swift Release, with Xia Zuo's current strength, this kick would definitely split Obito from head to crotch.

Obito, who was in a daze, suddenly woke up and activated his Hollowfication state in time, avoiding the fatal attack.

The battle has been suspended.

Both Obito, whose face was covered in blood, and Izumi Uchiha, who was slumped on the ground, stared at Xia Zuo in disbelief.

Obito Uchiha's physical injuries were healing rapidly, but his shattered self-confidence was difficult to recover from.

Since awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, this was the second time he had been attacked by an enemy, and he was even more seriously injured than when he was attacked by the Fourth Hokage.

This left Obito bewildered. Looking at the towering, god-like Natsume, he felt as if he were dreaming or trapped in an illusion.

He murmured incredulously, "How could it be so fast?"

Suddenly, Obito, enraged and humiliated, roared, "Do you know who I am?"

Xia Zuo sneered, "Then tell me, who are you?"

"I am Uchiha..."

Obito Uchiha got stuck; he simply couldn't bring himself to say the last word, "Madara."

He looked so disheveled that even calling out Madara Uchiha's name had no effect, and no one would believe that he was Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha is in such a sorry state!

In fact, there are.

For example, when Madara Uchiha was pinned to the ground and poked around by the First Hokage, the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, he was panting heavily and groaning repeatedly.

But no matter how disheveled Madara Uchiha was, no one dared to underestimate him, because he possessed power second only to one person.

But Obito Uchiha, who impersonated Madara Uchiha, wouldn't work.

The corrupted Obito realized that he couldn't use the name Uchiha Madara today unless he killed the big ninja and the Uchiha girl.

He growled, "I'm going to kill you!"

A vortex appeared out of nowhere and sucked Obito in.

Xia Zuo activated Swift Escape once again, pushing his senses to their limits.

When the vortex appeared in front of Uchiha Izumi and behind Xia Zuo, before Izumi could warn him in alarm, Xia Zuo sensed the anomaly and turned around to throw a punch.

He turned around so quickly that it seemed to Uchiha Izumi that he had always been facing him.

Obito had barely shown half his face, and before the swirling twist could fully unfold, Xia Zuo's fist had already smashed into his nose.

Obito felt a sudden dizziness, tears streaming down his face, and he fell back into the Kamui dimension.

After that, no matter how he tried, as long as the vortex appeared within 100 meters of Xia Zuo, he would be punched back into the Kamui space.

To his horror, Obito Uchiha discovered that he was trapped inside the Kamui dimension.

What's going on?

Even his teacher, the Golden Flash, couldn't achieve this level.
