Ch. 301Had Kabuto Set His Sights on Madara Uchiha?
Ning Feng and Orochimaru discussed researching the Box of Ultimate Bliss and whether Ryuzetsu’s clan technique could help revive Nagato, before Orochimaru privately warned that Kabuto might be plotting to become the Sage of Six Paths. The chapter left Ning Feng wondering whether Orochimaru was also scheming against him as Madara searched near the border of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.
- Ning Feng concluded that Madara Uchiha had reason to investigate the Box of Ultimate Bliss and told Orochimaru to study it without rushing.
- Ning Feng asked whether Ryuzetsu’s Dragon Life Reincarnation technique could be taught to others, but Ryuzetsu explained that it was a clan-exclusive Kekkei Genkai and secret art.
- Orochimaru asked to study Ryuzetsu’s technique, but Ning Feng told him to wait because Ryuzetsu was reluctant.
- Orochimaru privately told Ning Feng that Kabuto Yakushi had mastered and improved Sage Mode and seemed to be preparing to make a move against Madara Uchiha.
- Orochimaru reported that Madara had been spotted near the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning and might be seeking something to use against Ning Feng.
- Ning Feng considered exploiting a conflict between Kabuto and Madara, then wondered whether Orochimaru was plotting against him as well.
