"Madara-sama, are you alright?"
Tobi looked worriedly at Uchiha Madara, who sat in the main seat with a pale face.
Ever since Madara returned from Konoha, his complexion had been terrible.
"Cough, cough…"
Uchiha Madara had just opened his mouth to speak when he suddenly began to cough, bright blood uncontrollably spilling from the corner of his lips.
"Madara-sama, please don't scare me!"
Seeing this scene, Tobi immediately became flustered.
If something happened to Madara here, it really didn't know what to do.
Uchiha Madara waved his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Tobi, I'm fine."
When he invaded Konoha, he had overused the power of the Rinnegan.
And with his now aged body, fighting for a long time with the Rinnegan would inevitably bring a certain backlash.
This was also why his complexion looked so bad…
Fortunately, the hardest tailed beast to capture had already been caught; after this, only the Three-Tails remained, and it would be over.
"Tobi, I had you investigate the whereabouts of the Three-Tails. Is there any news?"
Only the final Three-Tails was missing among the nine tailed beasts; Uchiha Madara had long since grown impatient about this.
But they had never been able to find the whereabouts of the Three-Tails—perhaps that beast had not yet resurrected.
Or it had gone into hiding.
"Madara-sama, at present the White Zetsu are searching for the traces of the Three-Tails across the entire shinobi world. I believe we will have news very soon."
"Tell all the White Zetsu not to overlook any place in the shinobi world with lakes or oceans."
Uchiha Madara softly instructed.
The backlash from overusing the Rinnegan made him keenly aware that the time left to him was truly short.
If he still could not realize the Eye of the Moon Plan, he might really never have another chance.
Alone, he could only rely on his own effort to realize his ideal.
If only Renya acknowledged his plan, things would never have become this bad.
Unfortunately, that kid had been brainwashed by Senju Tobirama since childhood and, from the bottom of his heart, did not accept the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Since that was the case, he alone could still realize his ideal!
In all his life, Uchiha Madara had never begged anyone for anything.
"Yes, Madara-sama!"
Under Uchiha Madara's orders, the White Zetsu army began appearing frequently in every area with water sources.
They didn't even spare small ponds, afraid that the Three-Tails had deliberately shrunk its body to hide inside.
Finding nothing on land, they began turning their attention to the vast oceans.
At this rate, it was only a matter of time before they discovered the whereabouts of the Three-Tails!
...
At this moment, in Konoha Village, the cultivation of the Mangekyō Sharingan had reached its most critical stage.
Laboratory.
Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru stared fixedly at the pair of eyeballs in the culture dish, soaked in green nutrient fluid and gradually taking shape.
"Tobirama-sama, the experiment is about to be completed."
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and excitedly licked his lips.
The month-long Sharingan experiment was about to finish; whether they could successfully cultivate the Mangekyō Sharingan would soon be revealed.
Senju Tobirama silently stared at the culture dish, unconsciously clenching his fist.
The two of them had worked day and night, forgetting sleep and food in their research, and were finally about to see the results.
After a brief silence, he said to Orochimaru:
"Notify the ANBU at the door and have them call Renya over."
Renya, anxiously waiting at home, received the ANBU's notice and immediately hurried straight toward the laboratory.
Very soon, he arrived at the laboratory. "Did the experiment succeed?"
He had waited so long for the Mangekyō Sharingan, and it had finally been cultivated.
He could no longer wait to have it transplanted and experience it—having one blind eye really did not feel good.
"The experiment is about to end, but whether it succeeds is still unknown."
Senju Tobirama first gave Renya a mental precaution—it was only the first experiment.
He did not dare guarantee a one-hundred-percent success; everything had to go through a process.
Trying to get everything in one gulp was clearly impossible…
Hearing this, Renya quickly calmed down. He naturally understood the difficulty involved, but he still hoped the experiment would succeed.
After all, the time left to him was truly limited.
Madara could discover the revived Three-Tails at any moment; he had to obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan before the Three-Tails was found.
Otherwise, he would not have the power needed to stop Uchiha Madara.
It could be said that the future of the shinobi world lay in whether he could obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Beep beep beep—"
As the instrument emitted a series of signals, it signified that the experiment had finally concluded.
Senju Tobirama opened the culture dish and carefully took out that pair of eyeballs.
The eyeballs themselves showed an unnatural paleness after being soaked in medicinal fluid, but the Mangekyō pattern around the pupils remained strikingly vivid.
The pattern of this pair of Mangekyō was completely different from Renya's—it resembled a windmill.
"Did it succeed?" Renya asked eagerly.
He had never imagined that one day he would even be able to upgrade his eyes to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!
Senju Tobirama did not rush to answer. Pale blue chakra light gathered at his fingertips as he gently brushed across the surface of the eyeballs.
He could clearly sense that even though these Mangekyō Sharingan had been cultivated through cells and the nervous system, they still possessed that vast and chilling chakra fluctuation unique to the Sharingan.
"Extremes of emotion are the key to unlocking it—but this power itself will drag its host into an even deeper darkness."
He subconsciously commented, which already showed that the cultivation of the Mangekyō Sharingan had succeeded!
"Tobirama-sama, did our experiment succeed?"
Orochimaru excitedly licked his lips, flames of fanaticism burning in his eyes.
From Senju Tobirama's expression, he had guessed the final result of the experiment.
He instantly became so excited that he could barely contain himself.
He had never thought they would actually manage to research the Mangekyō Sharingan!
For a scientific madman, this was nothing less than the highest honor.
"Did it succeed?!"
Seeing the reactions of Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru, Renya was so excited he almost jumped up.
Only by possessing the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan could he stop Uchiha Madara from realizing the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Then they would no longer have to worry about being hung on trees to cosplay as sunshine dolls!
Senju Tobirama took a deep breath and said solemnly, "There is no problem with the eyes for now. Whether it truly succeeds will only be known once they're transplanted."
These words fell into Renya's ears as:
There's basically nothing wrong with the eyes—once transplanted, he could go all out.
With the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, stepping Uchiha Madara underfoot would be no problem at all.
"Hahaha!"
Renya couldn't hold it in and burst into wild laughter toward the ceiling.
His arrogant laughter filled the entire laboratory, as if he could already see the scene of Uchiha Madara being trampled beneath his feet.
The sky cleared, the rain stopped.
Once I put on this pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, I feel like I'm back in business again.
Kekeke!
Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru: "???"
