Chapter 13: Madara: Did I pick the wrong person? (Please follow for updates)

In the basement of Grass Country, the venerable Madara Uchiha was seated on a stone chair.

It was very dim here, as if not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate, making it look like a tomb.

But for Madara, this was just right; he needed quiet, and he was now a person hovering between life and death.

"Have you finally gained something?"

Madara murmured, then lifted his head and gazed at the basement's ceiling.

His pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes rotated slightly, as if he could see everything outside.

And behind his head, pallid tubes connected and appeared.

This is the supply he currently needs to sustain life; he has indeed reached the limit of his life.

Not long after, a white body slowly descended from the ceiling; its strange appearance looked somewhat eerie.

Moreover, when he landed in front of Madara, his body suddenly split open, revealing Obito inside!

"Ah ha ha, Lord Madara, I brought him back; I hope he didn't poop in my stomach."

But the moment he spoke, that eerie feeling vanished instantly.

This guy looks like an idiot.

"No."

Fortunately, Madara had long been accustomed to this situation; he ignored White Zetsu's words and instead carefully examined Obito inside White Zetsu's belly.

Since Obito entered this battlefield, Madara has been monitoring his condition.

Or rather, every Uchiha on the Grass Country battlefield is within his attention.

Although he had already given the Rinnegan to Nagato, he still needed someone to watch Nagato.

Naturally, he prefers someone more familiar, someone more emotionally driven among the Uchiha!

Madara's understanding of the Uchiha has reached his soul; even if Tobirama Senju stood before him, it would be insignificant!

"Lord Madara, this guy is foolish and about to die; is it worth saving him?"

White Zetsu gazed at Madara, his eyes fixed on Obito inside his own body, and he couldn't help but tilt his head curiously and ask.

"The power of the Uchiha requires talent, but sometimes some things are more important than talent!"

Madara knew White Zetsu was an idiot, but also absolutely loyal to himself, so he could say whatever he wanted.

"What is talent? And what is more important than talent?"

White Zetsu blinked, his face full of curiosity as he continued to ask.

"That is this person's heart."

Madara calmly looked at Obito and replied.

"The purer the mind of an Uchiha, the greater the qualification to awaken the eye, especially pure goodness."

"The kinder a person is, when his belief collapses, his evil becomes even purer."

"Although such a person is likely to act impulsively and easily do uncontrollable things, but."

But as long as one understands this person's inner desire and prepares in advance, this person will never be able to escape his control!

"Lord Madara, what do you mean?"

"Nothing much, don't ask, heal him and then go to Leaf Village to investigate his situation."

"This brat might be a good choice."

Madara also couldn't stand White Zetsu's constant questioning, so he directly interrupted him.

However, as he said, Obito is merely an option; he still has other options to observe.

But regarding Obito's current performance, more accurately his battlefield performance, it still satisfies Madara greatly.

Whether it's breaking rules, absolutely not abandoning his teammates.

Or being willing to sacrifice his life to save comrades, even giving his eyes to them at the brink of death.

These are all Obito's pure good intentions; especially within this goodness, he also saw something else.

That is selfishness.

This selfishness may be hidden beneath his current sunny, cheerful exterior, but Madara, who has been constantly watching Obito, noticed an interesting thing.

Last night, in Obito's conversation with Rin Nohara, they mentioned a person who made Obito's emotions especially agitated.

Madara has no interest in love affairs, but that hidden possessiveness was clear to him.

"As long as we grasp this key, he will be the best tool."

Thinking of this, Madara became increasingly satisfied with Obito.

Although he continued to close his eyes and observe other Uchiha's conditions, his heart had already begun to ponder how to make Obito awaken his eye.

"Huh?"

But just then, Madara noticed that where Obito was buried, the battle was still ongoing.

Most importantly, another Uchiha he had been monitoring also rushed over!

"Uchiha Haori, the person who made Obito feel resentful?"

Madara was also somewhat surprised; he didn't expect to be able to monitor this brat so quickly.

As for Haori, Madara's senses became somewhat complicated.

This kid can get along with anyone, is very smart, and had already awakened his Sharingan in Whirlpool Country.

Such a person, however you look at him, is the perfect choice.

Getting along with everyone means a very wide range of options; once a friend changes, the chance to awaken the eye increases.

Being very smart means future plan execution will be more composed, without worrying about uncontrollable mishaps or setbacks.

Awakening the Sharingan so early shows this kid is full of talent!

But precisely because he is too perfect, Madara feels a bit worried.

In his view, getting along fine with anyone might just mean his relationships are average; it could be the Uchiha clan's hidden pride, treating everyone the same.

Being too smart makes it easy to see through one's own plan's flaws, and once there are other thoughts, after death one cannot control it.

Opening the Sharingan so early indeed shows talent, but being able to endure the pain of awakening also means a firm will, with one's own desires and perseverance.

Ban sometimes wonders if he's over-worrying, but he really can't help thinking that way.

Let's first take a look, and at the same time let Jue investigate this brat's background.

Ban composed his emotions, but soon he also laughed.

To him, there's really no difference among any Uchiha.

As long as the heart is pure, he's confident he can cultivate a qualified tool person!

It's just a matter of whether it's useful or not.

They're just double tomoe, their road is still far, but Obito's eyes are somewhat special.

Ban seemed to think of the leakage of Obito's ability; those stones passed through his body without directly taking his life!

Otherwise, Ban wouldn't have had the chance to bring him back.

Just as his thoughts hadn't finished, he froze for a moment.

Because he, through Bai Jue's sight, clearly 'saw' that Yuzhi's eyes had become three tomoe!

He remembered that when this brat attacked the Rock Village camp last night, he only had two tomoe, right?

How did this brat already reach three tomoe in the blink of an eye?

Moreover, this brat's speed is faster, his methods more ruthless, especially.

Especially when Ban saw Yuzhi, facing Rock Village ninja's flanking attack, suddenly change tactics and rush out.

Amidst the Rock Ninja's onslaught, he dodged a series of attacks like a butterfly among flowers, finally arriving before the Rock Ninja Captain.

The next moment, this brat directly used his just-upgraded Sharingan to lock eyes with the Rock Ninja Captain.

At that moment, the Rock Ninja Captain froze in place, and Yuzhi directly took him out!

Just finished the upgrade, and already this proficient?

As for the rest, no need to watch.

The brat who has mastered the Flying Thunder God of the Senju One Clan's most sinister, most deserving-to-be-killed Senju Clan Feijian has arrived; the battle is already without suspense.

Ban also fell into contemplation at this moment, and after a while his gaze turned again to Obito, whom Bai Jue had placed on the bed.

For a moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Me, did I pick the wrong person?
