Obito Uchiha spoke disrespectfully, causing Madara Uchiha to furrow his brow, "Stray dog? Kid, watch your words!"
Obito spread his hands, speaking righteously, "Isn't it true? An old man nearing a hundred years, repeatedly defeated by a sixteen-year-old child~ Forced to come find me, let me guess your intentions, Madara!"
With the Rinnegan in Naruto's hands, the Gedo Statue needed to revive the Ten-Tails couldn't be easily used. To continue the Eye of the Moon Plan, the first step was to reclaim the Rinnegan, even if only one. After all, the fake Rinnegan under your Edo Tensei can't summon the statue.
So here's the issue~ You prefer using force over strategy, yet you appear before me? The Rinnegan isn't in my possession~ The statue is with me but serves no purpose. The only reason is that you plan to join forces with me against Naruto!
Am I right, Madara?
Madara chuckled, "Hmph, as always, you're good at understanding people's hearts. Putting other matters aside, have you kept the statue well?"
Obito replied calmly, "Of course~, the statue is sealed deep within my space-time dimension. Naruto can't summon it away~!"
Madara said slowly, "But you can't deal with Naruto, right? As his power continues to grow, he might ignore your space-time seal and directly summon the statue. You know what would happen then, don't you?"
Obito spoke seriously, "So, that's why you want to join forces with me, right?"
Madara declared, "I saved your life, giving you a purpose for existence. I'm your savior and guide~ By sentiment and reason, joining forces with me is the best choice~ What, do you have other options? If you did, you wouldn't be hiding on this remote island, right? Calling us both stray dogs isn't far off."
Obito declared loudly, "Yes, we're both stray dogs! But I'm different from you! At least now I have the Gedo Statue and eight tailed beasts under my control! At least I'm alive and can become a Jinchūriki directly, while you, you can't even hope for the Rinne Rebirth!"
At this point, Obito's gaze sharpened, "Frankly, with my current perspective, your power isn't that impressive! Whether or not I join forces with you, the outcome won't change, there's even the risk of you betraying me!"
Madara laughed quietly, "In the end, you think your wings have grown strong and you can fly on your own, right? Alright then, let me prove myself."
Madara formed seals with his hands in front of his chest.
Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame Arrow!
Boom!
The flames compressed into arrows, shooting through the air!
Kamui!
Whoosh!
The space-time vortex swirled, and Obito appeared high above!
"Heh." Madara smirked.
Roar!
A sky-blue Susanoo rose, forming a dual-faced deity, coordinating with the main body to form different seals!
Heavenly Obstacle Quaking Star!
Boom!!
The sky darkened, a massive meteor, its front ablaze from atmospheric friction, roared down!
Obito looked up calmly, "A meteor, huh? It looks impressive, but it means nothing to me."
Whoosh!
The meteor passed entirely through Obito!
Madara's gaze deepened, "You're still too naive, Obito!"
Buzz!
Madara raised his palm, and the large meteor suddenly stopped in mid-air!
"Obito, when your body and external objects overlap, you're inevitably in a phasing state~ The phased part is in a liminal state with the current space, requiring your ocular power to maintain it, like a spring constantly ready to snap back."
While in a phasing state, to use any technique, you must establish your presence in the current space, meaning returning to physical form. But within the meteor, becoming physical would mean instant crushing by its internal pressure!
Moreover, if your whole body is phased, you're unaffected by gravity, so you won't naturally fall. All you can do now is remain phased, traversing through the meteor!
But currently, you're in the meteor's center. At your speed, reaching the meteor's edge would take at least three minutes, and...
Roar!
Madara's Susanoo reignited from behind, forming a three-faced deity. The newly formed face made additional seals!
Earth Release: Super Light-Weight Rock Technique!
Buzz!
The large meteor suspended in the air rapidly lost weight!
Even if the meteor's density greatly decreases, it still maintains the strength to crush your flesh and blood, and...
Madara waved his hand!
Heavenly Obstacle Star Manipulation!
Buzz!
As Madara moved his hand, the meteor began shifting diagonally downward!
"I'll manually manipulate this meteor, moving in the direction you're traversing inside. Though the meteor's movement can't match your speed, it can significantly extend the time you need to reach the meteor's edge. About five minutes should be more than enough!"
Thus, four and a half minutes passed, and Obito had traversed near the meteor's edge.
"Almost there... But five minutes is your previous limit. Now, with the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated, five minutes might not be your limit!"
Crack! Crack! Crack! Black rods emerged outside the Heavenly Obstacle Quaking Star, infused with Madara's chakra!
Clap!
Madara clasped his hands, his presence imposing, "Then, injecting massive chakra into the Heavenly Obstacle Quaking Star, making it the gravitational core, what will happen when creating a Chibaku Tensei?"
Chibaku Tensei!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The entire island shattered, transforming into endless boulders, converging towards the Heavenly Obstacle Quaking Star. Rumble! With a series of roars, its size expanded once again!
Madara lowered his hand from the seal, murmuring, "Well, this Chibaku Tensei is large, but the time you have to escape is determined by the radius, not the size. The further from the core, the harder it is to extend the radius~ And this weight can't be manipulated anymore, but now, your escape time is extended to eight minutes!"
Approaching the half-minute limit, Madara's gaze darkened, "Based on my understanding of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, I can deduce your phasing time is ten minutes!"
Wood Release: Multiple Wood Clone Technique!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Thirty wood clones appeared, each using Susanoo, readying Yasaka Magatama.
Madara clasped his hands.
Wood Release: Flower Tree World Descending!!
Boom!
From the edges of the Chibaku Tensei, the tree world broke out, flowers blooming, releasing pollen, enveloping the Chibaku Tensei, transforming it into a forbidden zone!
"Next, I'll maintain lethal firepower coverage, ensuring you can't deactivate phasing even for a moment. Of course~ This requires extreme foresight and micro-control, which is extremely exhausting. Though the Edo Tensei body doesn't consume chakra, focusing intensely still drains mental energy."
Madara Uchiha smiled wickedly, "And I can maintain full concentration attack~ About two minutes and thirty seconds, considering error margin, it's more than enough!"
Whoosh!
As Obito Uchiha escaped the edge of the Chibaku Tensei, Yasaka Magatama came from all directions, one after another!
