"Hikari? I don't know her. I only know her as Uchiha Nanashi, a weapon of the Uchiha Clan. She even fused other people's Mangekyo Sharingan and mastered many dojutsu."
Madara's expression turned serious when he brought this up.
"Before me, the Uchiha didn't have the so-called Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. However, it seems that in the earliest times, the Mangekyo Sharingan would not go blind."
Kazuki said, looking at Madara with a slight hint of teasing, "Indra also had the Mangekyo Sharingan, but the ocular power of his Mangekyo Sharingan may not necessarily be worse than the ocular power of your Rinnegan."
According to Hagoromo, Indra's ocular power was not inferior to his, but of course, this statement was definitely an exaggeration.
After all, Hagoromo also said that Madara in his Ten-Tails Jinchuriki state was comparable to Kaguya back then. But after Kaguya appeared, Naruto and Sasuke lamented that Kaguya was much stronger than Madara.
The Sage of Six Paths seems to particularly like to boast about others' strength.
Madara did awaken the Rinnegan. If they were to truly fight, Kazuki believed that Madara was stronger than Indra. But in terms of ocular power, saying that the Mangekyo Sharingan could be comparable to the Rinnegan wasn't an impossibility.
After all, Madara's Rinnegan was inferior to Hagoromo's Rinnegan. Indra's Mangekyo Sharingan was stronger than an ordinary Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and Madara's Rinnegan was weaker than Hagoromo's Rinnegan.
Saying that the ocular power of Indra's Mangekyo Sharingan might not be weaker than Madara's Rinnegan was not praising Indra.
Madara was somewhat silent. As the awakener of the Rinnegan, he clearly understood how powerful the Rinnegan was. But when he thought that the opponent was Indra, the son of the Sage of Six Paths, he thought that Indra's physique, even if not comparable to the Sage of Six Paths and Asura, would not be worse than his, who had fused with Hashirama's cells.
Although Indra did not inherit the Sage Body, he was still the Sage of Six Paths's son.
Even someone as proud as Madara would not deny Indra. In Madara's heart, he always believed that Indra would be a better successor than Asura. It was just that the Sage of Six Paths had his own plans, and Indra was clearly the one sacrificed by the Sage of Six Paths.
Not only was Indra sacrificed, but in reality, wasn't Asura also sacrificed?
But Madara couldn't say anything bad about the Sage of Six Paths. After all, everything the Sage of Six Paths did was for the Ninja World. For this, he even sacrificed his two sons.
So what right did he have to criticize the Sage of Six Paths?
He felt some resentment towards the Sage of Six Paths, but it was all for the Ninja World.
"Perhaps, but I believe that in the future, I will not be weaker than them." Madara snorted.
He was seeking his own resurrection.
Death, for Madara, was not a bad thing. He could create a more excellent body for himself. A body stronger than his previous one.
His previous body was a bit too old and couldn't unleash its true strength. This time, he wanted to become even stronger and obtain a body more powerful than before.
Kazuki hinted meaningfully, "Probably. You can prepare a better body. I believe Black Zetsu won't let your body be too bad. Of course, you also need to be careful of Black Zetsu leaving some contingencies on your body."
Madara looked at Kazuki with burning eyes and said, "Is that so? You really know a lot of things, just like Hikari you mentioned before."
"You know many secrets, far more than I do. Some secrets, I haven't investigated, but you seem to know all of them."
"Logically speaking, Black Zetsu shouldn't have appeared before you, but you know about him. And the Sage of Six Paths's plan. This should be your ocular jutsu. You possess an ocular jutsu that can uncover all truths."
If that were the case, Madara felt that everything seemed explainable.
With such a dojutsu, knowing many secrets seemed to be a matter of course.
"Dojutsu? However, some things are not invincible." Kazuki shook his head slightly.
"Fate can change. Just like in the future, you will be resurrected under Black Zetsu's arrangement, become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and when you cast Infinite Tsukuyomi, Black Zetsu will stab you in the back."
Madara's face darkened.
Stabbed in the back?
For some reason, Madara felt that he couldn't deny Kazuki's words. After all, he had trusted Black Zetsu very much before, believing that he was the embodiment of his will. He had no defenses against Black Zetsu before.
Moreover, Black Zetsu really might leave some contingencies on him, so should he also use Black Zetsu to do some things?
The Ōtsutsuki were a huge hidden danger.
Madara snorted. "Hmph, if I had a dojutsu like yours, I would also discover Black Zetsu's problem."
"However, in some aspects, you are much more meticulous than I am. When you were young, you knew how to hide your strength, at least you didn't show your astonishing potential. By the time others wanted to target you, it was already too late."
This naturally included Madara himself, as well as Black Zetsu, and even the people in Konoha.
As one of the former creators of Konoha, no one understood the darkness of Konoha better than Madara, after all, back then, he was the one who was targeted.
When he was in Konoha, Madara was not happy. If it weren't for Tobirama, perhaps he would have been much happier.
So, is all of this fate?
Sometimes, Madara would think, if instead of Izuna, Tobirama had died back then, would things have been different?
Madara felt that Hashirama could let go of his hatred and establish Konoha with him.
He could let go of his hatred, and Hashirama could too. This was Madara's trust in Hashirama.
At that time, with the help of Izuna and Hashirama, he would become the first Hokage of Konoha, and then integrate Konoha. What Tobirama could do, Izuna could also do.
And then continue to wage war against other villages. No, to be precise, other villages might not even have the chance to be established.
The Ninja World would then be at peace, so all of this was Tobirama's fault.
