Dragon Ball: I, Yamcha, am the strongest in the universe

Chapter 136: Intercepting Uchiha Madara's Beard

"So…"

"I'm going to destroy this world!!!!"

At that very moment, countless ninja wearing the Mist Village forehead protectors arrived at the scene. The first thing they saw was Kakashi and Rin.

They began cursing the girl and boy without restraint, ranting about the failure of their plan to attack Konoha.

Then they noticed Obito — and Obito, whose eyes now resembled those of a demon from hell, noticed them as well.

In the next instant, countless branches sprouted from the body of the first Mist ninja who had cursed the girl, piercing clean through him.

Wood-Style: Cutting Technique!

Several large trees emerged, spiraling upward. Branch after branch burst through the bodies of the Mist ninja. One after another, they were skewered in an instant.

Not a single Mist ninja survived. The entire squad was annihilated.

At the same time, deep within a pitch-black underground cave like the abyss itself, an elderly man heard a report from another White Zetsu regarding Obito's transformation. For the first time in what seemed like an eternity, a faint smile appeared on his face.

His plan had not only succeeded — it had gone better than expected.

For a thirteen-year-old with a wisdom stat of only two (you could interpret this as intelligence), whose worldview hadn't even fully formed, all it took was a bit of external influence to completely sway him.

Unless, of course, someone intervened in time.

"So this is Wood Release? What a remarkable power."

At that moment, Obito was in a blind rage and didn't care who had spoken. He instinctively directed the branches toward the source of the voice.

Unfortunately, the branches vanished before they could touch Yamcha.

Although Wood Release is indeed a powerful style, its effectiveness still depends on the user. And this Obito — a boy — was nowhere near capable of using it to even touch Yamcha.

After all, Yamcha was wearing a top-tier artifact from YGGDRASIL.

If this had been an ordinary person in a normal situation, they would likely have retreated, observed from the shadows, gathered intel, or simply fled.

But not Obito.

A boy with a wisdom of two wouldn't think things through, especially in a state of uncontrollable rage. All he wanted was to kill the person in front of him with everything he had.

So, after missing his initial strike, he prepared to unleash his most powerful technique — the Mangekyō Sharingan!

The Sharingan is a mystical power tied closely to one's bloodline. From one tomoe to two, then three, and finally to the Mangekyō — a progression that's straightforward. And the moment the Mangekyō awakens, one instinctively understands the power of their unique ocular ability, like an inherited memory.

Obito's Mangekyō ability was Kamui — or more precisely, the Kamui Dimension, a terrifying power that could warp space, pulling himself or enemies into another dimension.

As everyone knows, space- and time-based abilities are the hardest to deal with.

"Bow down."

Unfortunately for Obito, Yamcha didn't give him the slightest chance to act. Before Obito could even open his eye wide, Yamcha calmly uttered a few words:

"Command Word!"

In the next moment, it was as if Obito's body was weighed down by thousands of kilograms of iron — he collapsed flat on the ground.

Forget attacking — he couldn't even lift his head.

To use Kamui offensively, at the very least, he needed eye contact.

Truthfully, Obito could have used Kamui to phase his body and avoid the command word's effect. But he had just awakened the Mangekyō and only had it in one eye. Add that to his low intelligence stat — he never even thought of it.

In the official Naruto databooks, every ninja is graded in eight categories: Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Intelligence, Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Hand Seals. The "Intelligence" stat refers to knowledge and IQ.

Obito's intelligence: 2.

Yeah. That's... concerning.

"If I were your enemy, you'd be dead by now."

Yamcha looked down at the flailing Obito and said.

"Urgh—"

But at this point, Obito couldn't hear a thing.

The more he resisted, the stronger the command word's effect became. Unless he could break the skill — and he had zero chance of doing so — he would only get more crushed. What started as lying flat on the ground had now turned into him sprawled like a dead dog.

His face was being pressed deeper and deeper into the earth, with more than half his head submerged in the dirt.

Even if Yamcha did nothing, Obito might just suffocate himself.

"Don't you want to bring that girl Rin back to life?"

Yamcha spoke again. This time, just one sentence was enough to calm Obito.

Resurrect Rin!

Later versions of Obito never seemed to consider this option — even when he possessed the Rinnegan, which could resurrect the dead, he was single-minded in pushing the Eye of the Moon Plan, a plan to create an illusionary world where everyone could be happy.

But had Obito ever wanted to truly resurrect Rin?

The answer: Yes.

Rin meant everything to him. She was his emotional foundation.

So why didn't he resurrect her?

It wasn't because, as many believe, Rin loved Kakashi and would never love Obito back, so he clung to the Eye of the Moon plan as a form of escapism — to retreat into a world where Rin only loved him.

If he could see through that, then he wouldn't be a "wisdom 2" Obito anymore.

It's just like how Nagato didn't revive Yahiko after the Rain Village battle, or how he revived everyone during the Konoha battle except Jiraiya.

Not because he didn't want to — but because he couldn't.

Rinne Tensei, the technique that revives the dead, can't bring back bodies that have completely decayed (like Yahiko and Rin), or those lost in the deep sea (like Jiraiya).

As for why Uchiha Madara could be revived despite being in Edo Tensei form — he was a rare exception. The old man spent over 90 years planning that. Boldly speaking, his soul might not have even entered the Pure Land.

Otherwise, how could someone who never stepped foot in the afterlife be so confident that Obito and Nagato would definitely revive him?

So just like Nagato, Obito couldn't revive his most cherished person when she died before his eyes. And by the time he had the power — it was too late.

"Have you calmed down now?"

Seeing that Obito had stopped struggling, Yamcha canceled the effect of the Command Word.

Obito's body relaxed. The crushing weight vanished instantly.

"Teach me!"

Obito dropped to his knees without hesitation, bowing low to the ground in full dogeza. Then he looked up, fixing his single eye straight on Yamcha.

"You want my Sharingan, right? Just tell me how. You can take this eye whenever you want — I won't resist at all!"

His tone was calm, as if he were talking about an ordinary stone by the roadside — not the Mangekyō Sharingan that countless people coveted.

"As long as you can bring Rin back to life — I'll give you everything."

"Even my soul."
