"Take a step back? And how exactly do we do that?"
Ning Feng sneered, while secretly mobilizing chakra and forming hand seals.
He had already sensed a massive number of shinobi rapidly approaching.
So he needed to stall—buy time to prepare something… a "surprise."
"You return to the Hidden Rain Village, and we'll leave each other in peace."
"As for compensation, you may state your terms. I'll consider them."
Obito paused, slightly stunned.
He hadn't expected Ning Feng—who had just been unleashing jutsu like a madman—to suddenly stop and listen.
His proposal was already humiliating enough.
Surely Ning Feng would accept and back down.
"Compensation? Peace?"
Ning Feng smiled faintly, noncommittal.
On the surface, it did seem like Kirigakure was making a huge concession—
Their village had been infiltrated, yet they chose not to retaliate and even offered compensation.
But Ning Feng hadn't come for negotiation.
He came to intimidate.
Even if Obito was already wary, without true pain, he would never truly remember Ning Feng's strength.
At the same time, Ning Feng had finished gathering a vast amount of chakra.
The tomoe in his eyes spun rapidly, finally forming the pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan!
"This is—"
Obito's expression changed drastically beneath his mask.
Why activate the Mangekyō again?
Was he really going to fight to the death?
However…
Glancing at the approaching shinobi army in the distance, Obito's lips curled into a cold smile.
He immediately used Kamui to retreat into the shadows.
Even if Uchiha Feng was a monster—
After expending so much chakra, there was no way he could escape unscathed from tens of thousands of shinobi!
"I have a bad feeling about this."
Black Zetsu suddenly appeared beside him.
Obito covered his Sharingan and replied calmly:
"These are tens of thousands of shinobi—at minimum, elite jonin."
"I even recruited powerful members from Kirigakure's kekkei genkai clans."
"This time, let alone Uchiha Feng—even if the Kage of the other four nations came together, they might not leave Kirigakure alive!"
Ning Feng watched Obito flee in panic and smiled, as if he had expected it.
He knew Obito had only stayed to stall.
Now that reinforcements had arrived, he chose to withdraw.
Sensing carefully, Ning Feng realized that the incoming forces weren't just from Kirigakure—
There were also shinobi from Iwagakure and Kumogakure!
It seemed Obito had paid a heavy price to secure aid from Ōnoki and A.
But this time—
Their investment was doomed to fail.
Ning Feng could already imagine the expressions on their faces when they learned that their elite forces had been annihilated in Kirigakure.
It would surely be… entertaining.
"That shinobi is Uchiha Feng!"
"Attack from range!"
Under Obito's control, Hōzuki Zangetsu issued the command.
But the troops hardly needed encouragement.
Their eyes burned with hatred.
They still remembered how Ning Feng had once invaded their villages, humiliating them.
Now, finally, they had a chance for revenge!
At the command, countless shinobi began forming hand seals, unleashing a barrage of jutsu!
Ning Feng looked at the incoming attacks with mockery.
His lips still curled in disdain.
These were elite forces from three great villages.
Their jutsu created an overwhelming spectacle—
But in Ning Feng's eyes, they were nothing more than terrain-altering fireworks.
Since they didn't care about destroying Kirigakure…
Then neither would he.
Only when blazing fireballs were about to reach his face did Ning Feng finally bring his hands together.
At the same time—
A massive, golden, double-faced warrior phantom appeared around him!
"Susanoo?"
Zangetsu narrowed his eyes slightly.
They had already prepared for this.
As long as they kept their distance beyond a hundred meters, Susanoo would merely serve as a passive shield.
Moreover, their forces were split into two rotating units—
One attacking, the other recovering chakra—
Ensuring a constant, unrelenting barrage.
Susanoo had limits.
Even someone like Ning Feng, with immense chakra, couldn't sustain its ocular power indefinitely.
A cruel glint appeared in Obito's eyes.
He was waiting—
The moment Ning Feng's defense broke, he would drag him into Kamui's dimension and force him to reveal the tailed beasts.
Once inside that space, Ning Feng would have no choice but to comply.
And perhaps…
He could even study Ning Feng's body.
But timing was everything.
Too early—and Ning Feng could resist.
Too late—and Ning Feng might already be reduced to dust by the barrage.
"This… isn't right… Obito!"
Black Zetsu suddenly noticed something—Ning Feng's dual-faced Susanoo was forming hand seals.
His expression changed drastically.
"What is it?"
Obito, fully focused, waved him off impatiently.
"If it's not critical, don't interrupt me."
"This is a crucial step for the Eye of the Moon Plan."
Black Zetsu cursed inwardly and urgently said:
"Ning Feng is about to unleash an extremely terrifying jutsu!"
"Order everyone to retreat!"
"No—there's no time! Tell them to use defensive techniques immediately!"
"Now!"
Black Zetsu was visibly panicked.
This hand sign…
It resembled one of Uchiha Madara's techniques—
Tengai Shinsei (Heavenly Obstruction Star)!
But Ning Feng didn't even possess the Rinnegan!
How could he possibly use this jutsu?!
Very few people even knew of it—perhaps only Black Zetsu himself.
This was no bluff.
What Black Zetsu didn't know was that after integrating Hashirama cells and combining them with his Mangekyō Sharingan—
Ning Feng, in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, could replicate Madara's techniques to a significant degree.
If he ever awakened the Rinnegan…
He was confident he could surpass even Madara.
And this move—
Was perfect for clearing the battlefield.
He had extorted the other villages plenty of times.
Now, it was time to let the world truly witness his power.
Before Obito could react—
A massive meteor, engulfed in roaring flames and large enough to cover half of Kirigakure—
Suddenly appeared in the sky…
And began descending.
