Before long.
Orochimaru finally disappeared from sight completely, as though he had never been there.
Behind his mask, Obito sneered to himself. Clown.
With Orochimaru gone, the tense atmosphere did not ease. Instead, it grew even heavier.
Both sides turned their attention back to each other in unison, beginning a new standoff.
"Hey, you there, the guy calling himself Madara."
The corners of Qingwu's mouth lifted slightly. He raised an eyebrow with a mocking half-smile and challenged the masked Obito. "Well? Shall we keep going?"
"Hmph. Stop wasting time." Obito's voice turned cold again. He raised his hands to form hand seals for Fire Release as a Kamui vortex burst open before him. "Hand her over, or... die."
Faced with Obito's threat, Qingwu merely sneered, cursing inwardly. Still fucking showing off in front of me. Obito Uchiha, you really are dangerous. I have to kill you.
He did not answer Obito directly, however. Instead, he silently stepped farther in front of Xiaoguang, blocking Obito's view of her with his body.
On the surface, Qingwu remained calm and unruffled, but inside, his killing intent was already surging.
The moment an opportunity arose, he would not let Obito escape. He had to eliminate this threat completely.
He was too dangerous.
Qingwu's Byakugan shone with an even brighter blue light, clearly revealing every spatial disturbance within a hundred meters—after all, he had Black Cube Spatial Teleportation himself...
He was very familiar with this.
"Hyuga Seigo, don't court death..."
Obito's chakra was gathering in his right eye, a sign that he was activating Kamui. Black Zetsu lay against Obito's feet like a puddle of shadow, his chakra fluctuations so faint they were almost imperceptible. He was clearly waiting for a chance to ambush Qingwu, but Qingwu already had him firmly in his sights.
