Chapter 271: Obito’s Betrayal

Whoosh!

Ning Feng swung another fierce slash, sending several strands of Madara Uchiha’s black hair flying through the air!

Terrifying sword energy swept across the battlefield.

The force generated solely from his physical strength was enough to produce blade waves!

The destructive power of those blade waves was sufficient to seriously injure ordinary Jonin.

Ning Feng’s swordsmanship had already reached the pinnacle of mastery!

"Damn it..."

Madara could no longer tolerate being suppressed.

He leaped backward.

Then, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was summoned to his side!

Since Obito Uchiha refused to assist him, he would have to control the Demonic Statue himself!

"ROAR!"

The Demonic Statue let out a thunderous roar!

Immediately afterward, it extended a gigantic arm toward Ning Feng!

Clang!

To Madara’s surprise, Ning Feng casually raised his sword and blocked the descending giant arm!

This act, akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot...

Had actually succeeded!

"This guy..."

Madara stared at Ning Feng in astonishment.

The Demonic Statue was the shell of the Ten-Tails.

Its weight far surpassed that of any Tailed Beast.

Yet Ning Feng had stopped it through pure physical strength alone?

Just how monstrous was his body?

Buzz...

Just as Madara was about to continue attacking, spatial distortions suddenly appeared beside him!

"Obito? What took you so long? Hurry up and help me control the Demonic Statue!"

Madara glanced over his shoulder.

Upon seeing Obito wearing the white three-tomoe mask, he spoke in annoyance.

If Obito had been harassing Ning Feng from the sidelines earlier, they might have already defeated him.

They wouldn’t have been trapped in this difficult battle now.

Obito felt a trace of regret.

He had specifically chosen a moment when Madara was completely focused on fighting Ning Feng.

Yet even then, Madara had noticed him.

Exhale...

The expression beneath Obito’s mask twisted slightly.

He took a deep breath.

Before he could even finish exhaling, he suddenly reached toward Madara!

"Hm?"

Although Madara was controlling the Demonic Statue and continuously attacking Ning Feng, the battle instincts he had honed during the Warring States Era kept him constantly aware of his surroundings.

Whoosh!

Madara lightly leaped away.

Then he stared at Obito in disbelief.

"You brat... what exactly are you doing?"

"Kamui!"

A savage grin appeared beneath Obito’s mask.

Since he had already decided to betray Madara...

He might as well strike directly!

After reclaiming Kakashi’s Sharingan, he could now use an even more perfect version of Kamui than Kakashi himself.

At this distance, he could directly target Madara and warp parts of his body into another dimension!

No matter how powerful Madara’s regenerative abilities were, he couldn’t simply grow a new arm or leg out of thin air!

"You little brat!"

Madara was furious.

However, the distance between them had already been short to begin with, and Obito had deliberately moved even closer.

Kamui activated almost instantly!

In Obito’s own hands, his Mangekyō Sharingan’s Kamui was not only more powerful but significantly faster.

Bzzzz...

The attack had originally targeted Madara’s head.

Yet it was the space in front of Madara that shattered instead!

"What?"

Obito stared at Madara’s cold Rinnegan in shock, unable to understand what had happened.

"Could it be because this is my first time using offensive Kamui? Did I miss my aim?"

His eyes narrowed.

His first assumption was that he simply hadn’t fully mastered the eye yet.

However, that wasn’t a major issue.

Unlike Kakashi, using Kamui didn’t push him to the brink of death.

The eye originally belonged to him.

Furthermore, he possessed Hashirama’s cells.

The strain of the Mangekyō Sharingan was practically negligible.

"Kamui!"

The Sharingan in his left eye widened.

Blood slowly trickled from beneath his mask.

Once again, the space in front of Madara shattered!

Yet Madara remained completely unharmed.

"Obito... your wings have grown strong, haven’t they?"

Madara looked at him coldly.

By now, he had already widened the distance between them by dozens of meters.

At this range, he was confident he could evade Kamui.

"What the hell is going on?"

Obito cursed inwardly.

The next instant, he vanished into the Kamui dimension.

Although reclaiming his second eye had greatly increased his strength, Madara was still the man who had taught him everything.

The one who had introduced him to countless forbidden techniques.

Obito refused to believe Madara lacked methods to counter space-time ninjutsu.

The reason Madara had always let Obito transport him through dimensions was likely because it was convenient.

Sure enough, just as Madara was about to use a forbidden technique specifically designed to counter space-time abilities, he saw Obito disappear from atop the Demonic Statue.

His gaze became even colder.

Then he withdrew two damaged shadows.

This was one of his Rinnegan abilities.

Limbo: Border Jail.

Two of the four invisible shadows had just intercepted Obito’s Kamui attack.

That was how he had emerged completely unharmed despite Obito’s sudden betrayal.

It had to be said that Obito’s timing had been impeccable.

First, Madara had almost no guard up against him.

Second, Madara’s chakra reserves were already running low.

To counter Obito’s space-time techniques, the only instant option available was Limbo.

Any other method would have required preparation.

"This kid... hasn’t spent these years doing nothing."

Madara shook his head.

Obito was no longer the naïve child he had first met.

Based on the opportunity he had seized just now, if he had known about Limbo beforehand and used Kamui a few more times...

He might really have killed Madara.

Madara was confident in his body’s regenerative abilities.

But if his head were twisted off...

Even he didn’t believe Hashirama’s cells could simply create an entirely new head from nothing.

"What are you standing there thinking about?"

Just as he was lost in thought, a brilliant flash of blade light instantly filled his vision!

A sword suddenly appeared before him!

"This guy is fast!"

Madara hurriedly retreated!

The time it had taken him to evade Obito’s attack had been no more than an instant.

Yet within that tiny window, Ning Feng had bypassed the Demonic Statue entirely and charged straight at him!

Shing! Shing! Shing!

The sword flashed repeatedly.

Every strike was infused with Lightning Release chakra!

Although Madara could theoretically absorb that chakra, he chose to dodge each attack individually.

He had already noticed the vertical markings in Ning Feng’s eyes.

Ning Feng had entered Sage Mode!

If he carelessly absorbed senjutsu chakra he didn’t fully understand...

He might turn to stone!
