Kazuki said, "You probably intended to use Fugaku to oppose me before, didn't you?"
Madara nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it's impossible to contend with you."
"Fugaku is not as strong as I was during the battle at the Valley of the End. At that time, I estimated that you were no weaker than me, perhaps even no weaker than me after I awakened the Rinnegan."
"However, if Fugaku is smart, he shouldn't directly oppose you. He only needs to continuously cause trouble for you in the shadows. After all, he was supposed to be the next clan head of the Uchiha clan."
Towards the end, Madara was somewhat frustrated by his lack of ambition. Clearly, in his eyes, Fugaku was useless.
Logically, Fugaku already possessed such strength and was the young clan head. At that time, if Fugaku had simply hidden within the clan, even Kazuki would have found it difficult to do anything to them.
If he were to completely wipe them out, what would others think?
At most, Fugaku could have relinquished his position as clan head. Then, they could have caused trouble for Kazuki from the shadows.
It wasn't just those within Konoha who disliked Kazuki. If Fugaku could contact Ōnoki and his group, Ōnoki and his group would likely not refuse him.
At the same time, the Land of Water and Kirigakure would be even less likely to refuse Fugaku. After all, at that time, the Land of Water was controlled by Madara and Black Zetsu. If they were to deal with Kazuki, they would not have refused.
Kazuki said, looking at Madara with deep, meaningful eyes, "He is a coward. I wonder if you believe in fate. In a certain timeline, if I hadn't appeared, Fugaku would have indulged his son and, in cooperation with Danzo and his group, annihilated the Uchiha clan."
"What? How is that possible?" Madara was startled by the words.
Although he believed he had been betrayed by the Uchiha clan, he had never thought of destroying the Uchiha clan. Ultimately, this was the clan for which he and Izuna had once fought.
But even Madara had to admit that before Kazuki's appearance, the Uchiha clan had disappointed him.
However, after Kazuki's appearance, it could be said that he had set things right for Madara.
Of course, Madara was actually quite annoyed with Ryoma and his group. Although he didn't take them seriously, these guys, instigated by Tobirama, had molded themselves into such an image, completely losing the pride of the Uchiha clan.
But what exactly happened?
Kazuki said slowly, "If I hadn't appeared, Fugaku would have become the clan head. He would have allowed the internal divisions within the Uchiha to grow, sitting idly by as they fought amongst themselves, all to solidify his position as clan head. His eldest son, after witnessing the death of his best friend, would awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan."
"At that time, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha would be like fire and water."
"Fugaku, as the clan head, knew his son's intentions. To fulfill his son's wish, he allowed himself to be killed by his son. Even the entire Uchiha clan did not put up any resistance."
"Honestly, when you chose Fugaku, I really wanted to mock you. You would even approve of such a good-for-nothing."
Kazuki had always looked down on Obito. But he had to admit that Obito seemed much better than Fugaku.
After all, Fugaku, as the Uchiha clan head, had essentially sacrificed the entire Uchiha clan. As a clan head, he was absolutely unqualified.
Madara was silenced by Kazuki's words. He didn't doubt what Kazuki had said. Kazuki had no reason to deceive him.
Moreover, Kazuki could see a glimpse of the future, a future without him.
If that were truly the case, Fugaku was really not a qualified clan head.
They had once fought tooth and nail for the Uchiha clan. It was the Uchiha they swore to protect with their lives.
Even though the Uchiha at that time was chaotic, even plagued by internal strife, the Uchiha clan head had always protected the entire Uchiha. If anyone wanted to destroy the Uchiha, the clan head would fight them to the death.
If that were truly the case, then Fugaku was indeed a good-for-nothing and a selfish good-for-nothing at that.
"It seems I chose the wrong person back then." Madara sighed helplessly.
Kazuki said, "Of course, to some extent, you didn't choose the wrong person. Fugaku is a selfish person."
Following this, Kazuki continued to lament, "For his benefit, he can do anything, even sacrifice himself."
"Your flesh and blood could have created the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, which is somewhat regrettable."
Kazuki seemed to have thought of something and sighed helplessly again. "It's a pity, the Mangekyo Sharingan is too rare. It's even harder to have a compatible Mangekyo Sharingan. Of course, your Indra Chakra is also very important."
Madara said, "Hmph, are you suggesting that my flesh and blood should become a means for those Uchiha to grow stronger?"
Madara didn't know what to say. It was said that his corpse had been subjected to various experiments by Tobirama and his group. Tobirama's various research results would be given to Madara, and he would even help him create a more excellent body but still...
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Faced with an even stronger enemy, even Madara could become a friend.
As for Tobirama, although he was no different from a coward, Madara had to admit that Tobirama possessed a certain talent.
Although the matter of his body allowing members of the Senju clan to awaken the Sharingan seemed very interesting, Madara was somewhat uncomfortable with his body being subjected to various experiments.
He had transplanted Hashirama's cells back then, but Tobirama was researching his cells and had even transplanted his flesh and blood.
This truly was karma, no one escapes the heavens' judgment.
"It's almost impossible." Kazuki shook his head slightly.
"Mangekyo Sharingan is too rare. It would be better to hunt Ōtsutsuki instead."
