Chapter 312: The Oppressive Presence Brought by Uchiha Madara

"Obito!"

Orochimaru frowned at Obito before him; this man was no match for him.

But eliminating him would be extremely difficult.

After all, Kamui was a divine technique for survival.

If this guy didn't want to fight, only to block me…

The success rate would still be high—I'd probably have zero chance, right?

Even though I've surpassed the Kage level, but…

Just as Orochimaru was pondering a strategy and preparing to use a illusion technique, Obito before him began forming hand seals.

The seals Obito made were utterly familiar to Orochimaru—wasn't this Edo Tensei?

Why is this guy forming these seals?

"It seems Ishihara is truly gone. If so, then let's summon him!"

"Edo Tensei!"

With Obito's roar, the ground beneath suddenly trembled.

Then a coffin slowly rose, opened, and the man inside left Orochimaru utterly stunned.

This… isn't… Uchiha Madara?

The legendary man!

"Huh? Has the plan already succeeded?"

No, this isn't Rinne Tensei—what's going on?"

Uchiha Madara turned to look at the one performing the technique; upon seeing it was Obito, he froze.

Instantly, his entire demeanor turned furious.

"What happened? Where's Nagato?"

Although Uchiha Madara didn't show anger, his terrifying aura still forced Obito to break into a cold sweat.

No wonder he was the strongest man of the Uchiha clan, no wonder he could fight Hashirama Senju.

Just speaking carried such overwhelming intimidation.

And Orochimaru beside him felt even greater pressure.

The man's power far, far surpassed his own!

"The plan has encountered complications—a powerful intruder disrupted all our plans.

Now the Six-Tails is in Orochimaru's hands, the Nine-Tails remains in the jinchuriki.

Nagato is dealing with the others in the Senju Organization."

Obito briefly summarized the situation; after hearing it, Uchiha Madara finally turned his gaze to Orochimaru.

"The Six-Tails is in this man's hands?"

"Yes."

"Good. Tell Nagato to forget the Senju Organization—go find the Nine-Tails!

I'll handle this one."

Uchiha Madara spoke with absolute confidence, treating Obito, a Kage-level fighter, as nothing more than a messenger.

After all, Obito possessed Kamui—he could move back and forth quickly and easily.

Now that I've emerged, these fools can't possibly cause any trouble.

After all, I am Uchiha Madara, the strongest in the ninja world!

So what if he was the Six Paths Sage?

I'll soon become the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, a being as powerful as the Six Paths Sage.

Then, when I activate Infinite Tsukuyomi, the entire ninja world will know peace!

"You must be Orochimaru?"

After Obito left, Uchiha Madara turned his gaze back to Orochimaru.

This time, Orochimaru felt unprecedented pressure.

It felt as if countless mountains had crushed down upon him.

This made Orochimaru deeply uneasy, and he had no idea what to do.

It felt as if no matter how he attacked, the opponent could effortlessly block it—and he himself would expose countless openings.

Watching Orochimaru's extreme caution, Uchiha Madara found it amusing.

This guy acts like vigilance would help.

Thinking this, Uchiha Madara charged straight at Orochimaru!

He only needed taijutsu to effortlessly finish this man off!

So fast!

Seeing this, Orochimaru's pupils shrank sharply, and he rapidly began forming hand seals.

Yet halfway through the seals, Uchiha Madara extended his right hand and gripped his throat.

"You're pathetically weak. Compared to Hashirama, you're nothing but a genin."

Uchiha Madara sneered mercilessly, then squeezed tightly.

Orochimaru's eyes rolled back, blood spurted from his mouth, and he collapsed unconscious.

Uchiha Madara shook his head at the sight. This man had made Nagato and the others waste so much time?

They still hadn't collected all nine tailed beasts—were these fools just slacking off?

Or had they never even intended to revive me?

At this thought, Uchiha Madara simply tossed Orochimaru from his hand onto the ground, then prepared to check on the Nine-Tails' situation.

However, just as Uchiha Madara prepared to leave, Orochimaru suddenly opened his mouth, and a brand-new Orochimaru crawled out from the previous Orochimaru's mouth!

This is the Orochi Substitution Technique!

"Interesting? I didn't expect you to actually survive. It seems..."

"Hmm! This is it!"
