Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

This behemoth was too big a target, its size was like that of a summoned beast, and it had no way to dodge the attack from his Sharingan.

Seeing the purple arrow flying towards him, Kaido made no attempt to dodge. He simply shouldered his spiked club and took the attack head-on without even blocking.

"What? This, how is this possible? Are you kidding me?" Uchiha Sasuke's eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief.

The purple energy arrow collided with Kaido's body, but it did not pierce through Kaido as Sasuke Uchiha had predicted.

Instead, it collided violently with the other's body and was directly shattered by a blood-red energy emanating from the other's body.

"Your attacks are flashy but ineffective. They have strong penetrating power, but they're not enough against physically strong opponents," Kaido said.

Not to mention my current self, even my past self could withstand this attack head-on without Armament Haki or Conqueror's Haki.

Kaido can be ignored a long time ago.

Sasuke Uchiha stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. What if Kaido had dodged it, or used some other means to deal with his attack?

He could accept any of that, but to take the attack head-on without dodging or flinching—that's just too outrageous!

Is this guy a monster?

"Alright! Father-in-law! Please stop playing around and knock this kid out quickly, but please don't hurt him."

"The ninjas here are physically weak; you could easily kill them with one blow," Rhodes said.

The ninjas here are typical magicians; if they encounter a master from the pirate world and get close, they're in big trouble.

"Hmph! I know, I'll take care of this kid now. I'm not playing with you anymore, kid. I need to finish you off quickly."

Kaido let out a sinister laugh, and his voice vanished instantly. Even Sasuke Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan couldn't catch a single afterimage of him.

A powerful, furious attack, the Blood Thunder Eight Trigrams, struck Sasuke's energy giant, instantly shattering his Susanoo once again.

The immense force of the recoil caused Sasuke Uchiha to cough up a mouthful of blood instantly. Are you kidding me? Once would be one thing, but twice!

It destroyed Susanoo with just one strike, and the opponent's speed is just too outrageous!

Even with his own kaleidoscope, he couldn't see the opponent's movements clearly, or even catch a glimpse of his opponent at all.

"Your body is so weak, kid!" Kaido slung his spiked club over his shoulder and looked speechlessly at Sasuke, who was kneeling on the ground spitting blood.

Are you kidding me? This guy's physical abilities are incredible! Forget comparing him to top-tier fighters, even some ordinary pirates are stronger than him!

That last strike actually injured this guy. I thought you were at least a master!

"Damn it! You bastard, Chidori Sharp Spear!" Uchiha roared in fury. He raised his hand and unleashed a blue light that instantly struck Kaido—a bolt of blue lightning.

Unfortunately, this move still couldn't even scratch Kaido's skin; it was completely ineffective against his defenses.

"Kid, is this your attack? You're so weak!"

Just then, Sasuke Uchiha's Sharingan suddenly widened, and he unleashed his Mangekyou Sharingan genjutsu on Kaido.

"Hmph! Witness the Uchiha clan's genjutsu! Remember, when fighting the Uchiha clan, never look them directly in the eye."

Uchiha Sasuke sneered and stood up.

In terms of physical skills, he was no match for him. This big guy's physical abilities were simply abnormal to the extreme. He could definitely not contend with Susanoo in a head-on confrontation.

Having already brought shame upon himself in the past, Sasuke chose to unleash ninjutsu, but ninjutsu was not very effective and could not break through the monster's defenses at all. Therefore, he could only use genjutsu to resolve the battle.

"Hmph! Such a petty trick of psychological attack, brat, who do you think I am?"

Kaido let out a cold snort and unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, his terrifying aura pressing down on Sasuke.

He actually thinks he can subdue himself with some kind of hallucination-like trick? What a joke!

If even the strongest warriors on the high seas could be subdued by such an attack!

Those special Devil Fruit users would have already come to take my head.

"What!!" Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened, and then he felt an overwhelming aura pressing down on him. In an instant, his whole body trembled and he was shaken.

You'll die, you'll die, you'll be killed!

It was as if there was a primal fear of the monster in front of him, a monster whose life level far surpassed his own.

At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha's mind went blank. Under the intense impact of Kaido's Conqueror's Haki, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Sa, Sasuke!" A red-haired girl nearby rushed towards Uchiha Sasuke and put her arm to his mouth.

"Wake up! Bite me, bite me!"

Obito Uchiha took a deep breath and instantly appeared in front of Sasuke Uchiha and Karin, grabbing the two before attempting to leave.

That big guy was not someone an ordinary person could handle; even my space-time ninjutsu might not be able to defeat him.

And there's still one guy with the green Rinnegan who hasn't made a move yet! Under these circumstances, it's better to retreat for now.

Therefore, Obito Uchiha decisively activated his Kamui ability, intending to escape with the two of them.

But sometimes, even if you want to run, you can't just run whenever you want.

"Don't rush off! Aren't you curious about how I got my eyes? Why don't we sit down and chat?" Rhodes smiled and cast a spatial blockade with his backhand.

Space-time ninjutsu is indeed very powerful in the world of Naruto, but when it comes to oneself, it's a complete disaster.

I've at least come into contact with the Space Stone, and I can teleport an entire planet or break through world barriers.

In addition, having learned the mirror space of Kamar-Taj and the portal spell, my spatial abilities are no joke. Trying to use spatial abilities in front of me is like showing off your skills in front of an expert!

Obito Uchiha's Kamui dimension was indeed very powerful, but when it encountered him, it was his nemesis; he was simply unlucky.

The moment the opponent unleashed Kamui Space, Rhode had already detected Obito Uchiha's Kamui Space.

Then he countered with a spatial seal, completely sealing off Obito Uchiha's space.

The scene was somewhat awkward, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down Obito Uchiha's forehead.

Are you kidding me? You actually suppressed me in space-time ninjutsu!

His Kamui Space technique has never failed, and even Madara Uchiha praised it highly, saying that even he couldn't break it.

"Your move is just clicking into a strange space. This kind of move might work against some ordinary people."

But don't try to fool me. I'll show you what real spatial magic is.

With a wave of his hands, Rhodes pulled Obito Uchiha into the mirror space, where the outside world appeared as if it were a mirror.

Just kidding. Rhode can sense the several spaces that Kaguya has created, let alone a space ninjutsu of your caliber.

"What is your purpose? Who exactly are you?" Obito Uchiha asked.

"I'm too lazy to explain to you. Weakness curse, pain curse, haunting curse, vicious curse!"

Rhodes unleashed a barrage of sorcerer spells without hesitation, leaving Obito Uchiha questioning his very existence.

Chapter 243 Killing Obito, the Prelude to the Burning Invasion

"Aaaaah!" Obito Uchiha let out a scream.

It hurts! It hurts so much! It really hurts!

Her whole body ached, and she felt weak and powerless. She even saw ghostly figures flashing before her eyes, and those ghostly figures were all distorted versions of Lin.

Furthermore, he was extremely weak all over, and even felt as if he couldn't stand up. Uchiha Obito instantly smashed the mask on the other side of his face, and the three-tomoe Sharingan in his pupils began to unleash its power!

He activated Izanagi, the genjutsu that the Uchiha clan was so proud of, transforming all the damage he had suffered into a dream.

That's how he escaped from Rhodes's sorcery.

"Not bad, not bad, you actually managed to break through these moves!" Rhodes didn't continue attacking, but instead stroked his chin and looked at Uchiha Obito with a playful expression.

A few simple spells were not enough to defeat Obito Uchiha, and Rhode also wanted to play around with him.

At this moment, Obito Uchiha was sweating profusely. Was this for real? He had been pulled into this special space so easily.

This technique is somewhat similar to my own Kamui, but my opponent's mastery of space-time ninjutsu far surpasses mine!

And that attack just now was really too bizarre, wasn't it?

That heart-wrenching pain, that inexplicable grief, couldn't have been caused by illusion. It was a double blow to both the soul and the body.

Moreover, it was just a casual attack, yet I had to sacrifice one of my Sharingan and activate the Izanagi to dodge it. The opponent's strength is just too terrifying!

Most importantly, his Mangekyou Sharingan abilities were sealed, which was the most troublesome thing.

At this moment, Obito Uchiha was utterly shocked.

"What, are you surprised? This is just a basic operation of spatial skills. Your little tricks are hardly sophisticated," Rhodes said, arms crossed.

What to do! I'm definitely no match for the opponent's space-time ninjutsu. Should I try other ninjutsu or genjutsu?

In a split second, Obito Uchiha made a decision. He first sidestepped to create distance between himself and Rhodes, and then threw out several shuriken.

Immediately afterwards, her eyes transformed into the shape of a kaleidoscope, and she used illusion magic directly on Rhodes, but this level of illusion magic was limited.

Even the Mangekyou Sharingan, which can control tailed beasts, is ineffective against Rhode. First of all, the mutated Evil Life Rinnegan is immune to the Uchiha clan's top-tier genjutsu.

Not to mention Rhodes' powerful life force, as well as his Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki.

However, Rhode soon discovered that Obito Uchiha did not entirely intend to defeat him with genjutsu. Among the shuriken he threw out, there were also some small seeds hidden inside. After landing next to him, they quickly turned into sharp pieces of wood and pierced him.

However, these wooden splinters, which are harder than steel, could not pierce Rhodes' skin.

The seed beneath his feet transformed into a vine that entangled Rhodes, but these attacks were still largely ineffective.

Rhode simply mobilized the life energy within his body, and these wooden shield plants that Obito Uchiha originally used were instantly controlled by Rhode and turned against Obito Uchiha.

In an instant, Obito Uchiha was completely subdued. After his Kamui ability was disabled, Obito Uchiha's overall strength was reduced to that of an ordinary Jonin.

"You're no match for me when it comes to playing with space, but when it comes to playing with life energy, I can only say that you can't see the difference between heaven and earth."

"However, I must say, your wooden shield ability is actually quite good for landscaping; planting trees would be a good idea. The Druids would probably welcome you very much." Rhodes said mockingly as he approached Obito Uchiha.

There was nothing he could do; his abilities were simply the perfect counter to Obito Uchiha. Obito's prized spatial abilities were completely useless against him, and his Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu was also completely ineffective. His Wood Release was also countered by him.

Rhodes could even end the game in an instant, instantly killing Obito Uchiha.

"Cough cough! Who exactly are you?" Obito Uchiha asked with great difficulty.

They can't win a fight, and they can't run away!

This was the first time he had felt despair since his debut. Even when facing his teacher, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, he could fight with ease and even go toe-to-toe.

My previous defeat to the Fourth Hokage was simply due to a lack of combat experience, but now I have a wealth of combat experience.
