"Alright… just be careful, Feng!"
Seeing Ning Feng insist on going alone, Minato could only retreat to the side.
But inwardly, he made up his mind—
The moment Ning Feng showed even the slightest sign of being overwhelmed, he would immediately move in to rescue him!
"Feng…"
When Kakashi saw the lightning-wreathed figure, he finally felt a little relieved.
But then he watched Minato step back while Ning Feng advanced alone to face the enemy!
"This…"
Kakashi looked at Minato in confusion, unable to understand why they weren't fighting together.
Noticing Kakashi's gaze, Minato simply shook his head and gestured for him to keep watching.
Ning Feng's mastery of Flying Thunder God was nearly equal to his own…
Even if he couldn't win, he could definitely retreat safely!
Minato silently reassured himself not to worry too much about Ning Feng's safety.
Yet in the next instant—
His expression froze in utter disbelief!
Ning Feng activated the Lightning Release Armor!
And then—
He charged straight forward!
"This—"
Kakashi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!
He just rushed in directly?!
Even if he knew their abilities beforehand, wasn't this way too reckless?!
Minato himself nearly stopped breathing.
He instinctively crouched slightly, already prepared to rush in and help Ning Feng retreat from the battlefield at any moment!
But what happened next completely shattered his expectations.
WHOOSH!
Ning Feng transformed into a streak of lightning and charged forward, completely ignoring the incoming Water Release and Dust Release attacks.
Before either reincarnated Kage could even react—
He cut them apart with one slash each!
The twin blades infused with Lightning Release chakra were unbelievably sharp.
Even the Earth Release defenses Mū had prepared beforehand were sliced apart like tofu, instantly reducing his body into shattered Impure World fragments!
"This is bad…"
Kabuto's eyes darkened dangerously as he immediately spoke toward Madara.
"Uchiha Feng has arrived on the battlefield… I can't do anything against him."
Madara stopped meditating and slowly opened his eyes, a trace of surprise appearing in his tone.
"He reached the Konoha battlefield this quickly?"
"He probably used the Flying Thunder God Technique to get here."
Kabuto shrugged helplessly.
Against Ning Feng, who had already awakened the Rinnegan—
Kabuto had absolutely no answer.
Tobirama's Water Release and Mū's Dust Release had become completely useless.
And in close combat, they couldn't compete with Ning Feng's Lightning Release Armor and his mastery over Lightning Release chakra nature transformation!
At this point, getting sealed was only a matter of time.
"I suppose I should personally head to the battlefield and have some fun with him."
The fighting spirit inside Madara was beginning to surge uncontrollably as he spoke with rare excitement.
As the legendary Asura of Konoha who emerged from the Warring States Era—
Madara possessed an instinctive desire to battle powerful opponents!
"I still have one final trump card I haven't used yet…"
Thinking of his remaining ace, Kabuto cautiously spoke up.
For some reason—
Watching Ning Feng dominate the battlefield like an unstoppable god of slaughter…
Kabuto suddenly didn't dare let Madara go.
He feared even his greatest trump card might lose to Ning Feng!
After all these battles, Kabuto had become increasingly terrified of Ning Feng.
He could no longer even estimate how powerful Ning Feng truly was.
Whether it was taijutsu, ninjutsu, space-time techniques, sealing techniques, or chakra reserves—
Ning Feng had demonstrated unfathomable mastery in every category!
"Hashirama Senju, huh? Fine."
After hearing this, Madara slowly sat back down.
He naturally understood that Kabuto's final trump card was Hashirama Senju.
His greatest lifelong rival.
And the only shinobi Madara had ever truly acknowledged!
Still…
Even weakened by reincarnation, Hashirama would surely dominate the battlefield completely, wouldn't he?
Kabuto smiled bitterly.
Seeing the subtle changes in Madara's expression, he could already guess what Madara was thinking.
Years spent beside Orochimaru had long since sharpened Kabuto's ability to read people.
And because he understood Madara's thoughts—
Kabuto could only laugh bitterly inwardly.
Even if controlling consciousness reduced combat ability by at least fifty percent…
Even if he fully reincarnated the First Hokage without restrictions—
Hashirama probably still wouldn't be Ning Feng's opponent!
Aside from Ning Feng, Hashirama absolutely could dominate the battlefield as Madara predicted.
But Ning Feng was the one variable nobody could account for!
"Explosion Release!"
Once again, Ning Feng slashed Mū's body apart.
But this time, he formed a one-handed seal and shouted sharply!
Then—
An explosion suddenly detonated beside Mū!
"That's Explosion Release?!"
Mū stared at Ning Feng in astonishment!
In just a few brief exchanges, Ning Feng had already displayed multiple Bloodline Limits!
Mū even suspected Ning Feng might possess Dust Release as well!
"You aren't an Iwagakure ninja… so why do you know so many Iwagakure techniques?"
"Are you a rogue ninja? What is Ōnoki doing?"
"With talent like yours, Iwagakure would become even more glorious!"
Constantly being blown into Impure World fragments and regenerating over and over again—
Mū never stopped trying to persuade Ning Feng.
In his eyes, Ning Feng was obviously some genius from Iwagakure who had been forced to defect.
With talent this monstrous, Ōnoki had actually failed to recognize his value and drove him away?!
Mū never even considered the possibility that Ning Feng belonged to another village.
After all—
Explosion Release and Dust Release only existed among Iwagakure shinobi.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Growing annoyed by Mū's nonstop chatter, Ning Feng finally clasped his hands together and unleashed a textbook Dust Release technique!
"You really are an Iwagakure ninja! Judging by this, you must even be a candidate for the next Tsuchikage!"
Mū was practically going insane.
No matter how much he tried persuading this young ninja, Ning Feng remained completely silent.
Dust Release was the secret Bloodline-Tainted Selection passed down only among successive Tsuchikage.
Anyone who could use it was unquestionably a Tsuchikage candidate!
"What exactly happened? Why is Iwagakure trying to eliminate such a gifted rogue ninja?"
The confusion in Mū's heart was becoming unbearable.
"Honestly… I'm done with this."
Kabuto helplessly transmitted Ning Feng's information directly into Mū's mind.
Mū's nonstop attempts to recruit Ning Feng were preventing Kabuto from concentrating on reincarnating Hashirama properly!
"What?! A Konoha ninja?!"
"The Rain Shadow? Since when did the Rain Village qualify to call themselves a Kage village?!"
"The Land of Rain is one of the Five Great Nations now?!"
After receiving the information, Mū's face became filled with disbelief.
Ning Feng actually wasn't an Iwagakure ninja?!
Then where did his Bloodline-Tainted Selection come from?
Where did Explosion Release come from?!
"Four Symbols Seal!"
Ning Feng had no time to care about Mū's rambling.
Each time he destroyed their bodies and forced them into regeneration, he continuously attempted to seal them.
Unfortunately, with White Zetsu interfering nearby, the battle had become a prolonged stalemate.
"You think you can outlast me?"
Ning Feng sneered.
Setting aside the terrifying chakra regeneration speed granted by his Sage Body—
The chakra reserves of the four Tailed Beasts sealed inside him alone were enough to seal every White Zetsu on this battlefield dozens of times over!
RUMBLE…
Just as the three remained locked in combat—
Another coffin suddenly rose from the ground at the edge of the battlefield!
"A new reincarnated ninja?"
Ning Feng looked toward the coffin with interest, temporarily halting his assault.
BOOM!
The coffin lid exploded open violently, revealing the face of the ninja inside!
"It's him?!"
