"Yakushi Kabuto, and yet you still don't understand the power of the Rinnegan?"
Ning Feng walked out of the dust cloud completely unharmed, a look of contempt on his face.
However, the enemies before him had changed.
Only Obito, the Second Tsuchikage, the Third Hokage, and the First Mizukage remained.
Madara and the Second Hokage had already vanished without a trace.
"Damn it. He got away."
Ning Feng cursed inwardly.
Madara had realized that Obito carried one of Ning Feng's Flying Thunder God marks. Instead of escaping together with Obito, he had left alongside Tobirama Senju, another master of space-time ninjutsu.
That meant Ning Feng could no longer track his location.
"That Kabuto..."
Obito quietly let out a breath of relief.
As long as Madara remained alive, the Eye of the Moon Plan still had a chance to continue.
Even if Ning Feng's strength had far exceeded their expectations.
"So what? Now that he's gone, you're planning to stall for time?"
Ning Feng was about to turn and leave when Obito and the vacant-eyed Third Hokage stepped forward.
"Hmph."
Obito snorted.
His expression beneath the mask wasn't pleasant.
As for the Third Hokage, Kabuto was directly controlling him, so he showed no reaction whatsoever.
Kabuto naturally understood the abilities of the Rinnegan.
The previous barrage of ninjutsu had merely been intended to obstruct Ning Feng's vision for a brief moment.
Even the Rinnegan's perception could be disrupted temporarily when facing another Rinnegan user like Madara.
Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!
Suddenly, the Third Hokage tore off his Hokage robes, revealing the layered armor of the Warring States Era beneath.
He tossed a single shuriken into the air and formed hand seals.
The spinning shuriken multiplied.
One became two.
Two became four.
Four became countless.
In the blink of an eye, a storm of shuriken filled the sky and surrounded Ning Feng.
"Interesting."
Ning Feng shook his head.
"But only interesting."
He calmly raised one hand and paid no attention whatsoever to the incoming barrage.
Shinra Tensei!
As he murmured softly, the air before him froze.
The countless shuriken seemed to strike an invisible wall.
The instant they approached him, every single one was violently repelled and sent flying backward.
"So quickly? He's already able to use Shinra Tensei again?"
Deep underground, Kabuto grinned.
His elongated snake-like tongue flicked across his lips repeatedly.
Thanks to Madara's explanations, Kabuto had gained a detailed understanding of the Rinnegan's abilities.
That knowledge allowed him to formulate countermeasures.
Otherwise, simply probing Ning Feng's Rinnegan powers would have cost him countless Edo Tensei pieces.
Whoosh!
Before Kabuto could think further, a meteor-like figure flashed across the battlefield.
A blade descended.
Kabuto hadn't even reacted before the Third Hokage was split cleanly in half.
His speed increased this much again?
Kabuto's heart skipped a beat.
Just as he prepared to make the Third Hokage counterattack, Ning Feng formed a seal with one hand and swiftly retreated.
A teasing smile appeared in his eyes.
"Explode."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The air surrounding the Third Hokage detonated one explosion after another.
The resurrected shinobi stared blankly around him as the blasts tore away chunks of his Edo Tensei body.
Four Symbols Seal!
Without even looking, Ning Feng threw out a sealing technique.
"Ugh..."
Before the Third Hokage's body could regenerate, the sealing formula wrapped around him.
At the final moment, as the sealing markings climbed over his head, consciousness finally returned to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Uchiha Feng... it's you!"
His eyes became venomous.
At that moment, he wished he could devour Ning Feng's flesh and drink his blood.
"Bye."
Ning Feng smiled coldly.
With a flick of his finger, the sealing formula completely engulfed Hiruzen.
Seriously, where did Kabuto even dig up this old bastard's grave?
Shaking his head, Ning Feng turned toward Obito and the remaining Edo Tensei shinobi.
"So?"
"Still want to continue?"
Obito and the others immediately shook their heads.
After witnessing Ning Feng's strength, they all understood something.
At their level, no matter how many of them gathered, they would simply become additional ingredients for Ning Feng's slaughter.
Deep underground, Kabuto lightly tapped the table.
His Edo Tensei shinobi could overwhelm ordinary Kage-level opponents with ease.
But against Ning Feng?
None of them could survive a single exchange.
If Ning Feng truly wanted to leave them all behind, it would only take a single powerful technique followed by a sealing jutsu.
Whoosh!
Ning Feng disappeared from the battlefield instantly.
Only then did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as the Rain Shadow remained present, his mere existence exerted overwhelming pressure.
By now, Madara had likely escaped to another location using Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique.
Konoha – Hokage's Office
"Feng!"
Minato had just finished assembling an elite force when a figure suddenly appeared in the room.
He looked at Ning Feng in surprise.
It was obvious Ning Feng was in a somewhat battered state.
Recalling the heaven-piercing lightning strike that had appeared over the Rain battlefield earlier, Minato felt a chill.
"What happened?"
Ning Feng waved a hand dismissively.
Ignoring everyone's stares, he sat down first and began recovering his chakra.
When he chased Madara earlier, his reserves had already been nearly exhausted.
He had relied entirely on the little chakra he had just recovered.
He had been confident Madara's condition was even worse than his own.
That was why he had pursued so aggressively.
But when Kabuto suddenly summoned several Edo Tensei Kage-level shinobi, Ning Feng could no longer be certain he could defeat everyone present.
After weighing the risks, he chose to eliminate one target and retreat.
Otherwise, if the Edo Tensei shinobi tied him down while Madara recovered enough strength, they might have succeeded in trapping him there.
"Feng!"
Both Shisui Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake were among the elite forces Minato had assembled.
Seeing Ning Feng in such a state shocked them.
In their minds, Ning Feng had long since become invincible.
They could hardly imagine anything in the ninja world capable of injuring him.
"I ran into Uchiha Madara."
Ning Feng shrugged.
"Madara has been revived. He also recovered both of his Rinnegan."
"What?! Madara?"
"Isn't he the masked man?"
"The Rinnegan? His own?"
The room erupted in astonishment.
Every piece of information Ning Feng revealed left them feeling more confused than before.
Ning Feng smiled bitterly.
Compared to what he knew, everyone else's intelligence was practically insignificant.
He gestured for everyone to sit.
It was time.
Time to reveal the greatest secret in the entire ninja world.
