Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 13 Madara: Did I Choose the Wrong Person? (Please Read On)

In the basement of the Land of Grass, the aged Uchiha Madara sat on a stone chair.

It was very dark here, as if no sunlight could penetrate, and it looked like a tomb.

But this was just right for Ban; he needed peace and quiet, and he was now someone who teetered between life and death.

"Have you finally achieved something?"

Ban murmured something, then looked up at the dome of the basement.

His crimson Sharingan eyes rotated slightly, as if they could see everything in the outside world.

Behind his head, a series of pale pipes appeared.

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

Before long, a white body slowly descended from the dome, its strange appearance looking slightly eerie.

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

"Oh dear, Lord Madara, I brought him back. I hope he didn't poop in my stomach."

But the moment he opened his mouth to speak, that eerie and unsettling feeling vanished instantly.

This guy looks like an idiot.

No, it won't.

Fortunately, Madara was already used to this situation. He didn't pay attention to what White Zetsu said, but instead carefully examined Obito inside White Zetsu's belly.

From the moment Obito entered this battlefield, Madara had been keeping an eye on his situation.

Or rather, every Uchiha on the battlefield in the Land of Grass was under his watchful eye.

Although he has already handed over the Rinnegan to Nagato, he still needs someone to keep an eye on Nagato.

He naturally leans more towards the Uchiha, whom he is more familiar with and more prone to acting on emotion!

Madara's understanding of the Uchiha clan was so profound that even Tobirama Senju was insignificant in his presence!

"Lord Madara, this guy is stupid and near death. Is there any point in saving him?"

White Zetsu noticed that Madara's gaze was fixed on Obito inside him, so he tilted his head and asked curiously.

"The Uchiha clan's power requires talent, but sometimes there are things that are even more important than talent!"

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

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

Bai Jue blinked and asked again with a curious look.

That's what's inside this person's heart.

Madara looked at Obito quietly and replied calmly.

"The purer the mind of an Uchiha, the more likely they are to awaken their Sharingan, especially those with pure goodness."

The kinder a person is, the purer their evil becomes when their beliefs crumble.

Although such people are likely to act impulsively and do things out of control, but...

But as long as you understand this person's inner desires and make preparations in advance, then this person will never be able to escape your control!

"Lord Madara, what do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything, don't ask anymore. Treat him and then go to Konoha to investigate his situation."

This kid might be a good choice.

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

However, as he said, Obito is just one option; he has other options to observe.

However, Madara is still quite satisfied with Obito's current performance, or more accurately, his performance on the battlefield.

Even if it means breaking the rules, never abandon your teammates.

Or perhaps they are willing to give their own lives to save their companions, even giving their eyes to their companions on their deathbed.

These were all Obito's pure good intentions, and he also saw something different within those good intentions.

That is selfishness.

This selfishness may be hidden beneath his current sunny and cheerful exterior, but Madara, who has been paying close attention to Obito, noticed something interesting.

Last night, Obito and Rin Nohara mentioned someone in their conversation, and that person made Obito extremely emotional.

Ban had no interest in romance or anything like that, but he could clearly see the hidden possessiveness in Ban.

"As long as you grasp this key point, then it will be the best tool."

Thinking about this, Madara became more and more satisfied with Obito.

Although he continued to observe the other Uchiha with his eyes closed, he was already thinking about how to awaken Obito's Sharingan.

"Um?"

But just then, Madara noticed that the battle was still going on where Obito had been buried.

Most importantly, another Uchiha he was keeping an eye on also arrived!

"Uchiha Hagoromo, the one who instilled resentment in Obito's heart?"

Ban was also somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected to get his attention on this kid so quickly.

Madara's feelings about haori are somewhat complex.

This kid can get along with anyone, and he's very smart. He even awakened his Sharingan in the Land of Whirlpools.

This kind of person seems like the perfect candidate no matter how you look at it.

Having good relationships with everyone means having a wide range of choices, and you're more likely to be surprised if something happens to a friend.

Being very smart means that you will be able to execute plans more easily in the future, without worrying about anything uncontrollable or going wrong.

Awakening the Sharingan so early shows that this kid is incredibly talented!

But it was precisely because it was too perfect that Ban had some concerns.

In his view, being on good terms with everyone might just mean having only average relationships with everyone. It could be the Uchiha's hidden pride, and they might just treat everyone the same.

Being too clever makes it easy to spot flaws in one's own plans, and once one has other ideas, one becomes even less able to control oneself after death.

Awakening the Sharingan so early certainly shows talent, but being able to endure the pain of awakening it also means having a strong will and inner desires and convictions.

Ban sometimes wondered if he was worrying too much, but he really couldn't help thinking that way.

"Let's observe first, and at the same time, have Jue investigate this brat's background."

Ban composed himself, but soon he laughed too.

To him, there was really no difference between any Uchiha.

As long as one's heart is pure, he is confident that he can train a qualified tool!

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

"They're all just double-tomoe jades; they have a long way to go. But Obito's eyes are rather special."

Madara seemed to have thought of Obito's ability "Leakage," where the stones passed through his body without killing him directly!

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

But before he could finish his thought, he froze for a moment.

Because through White Zetsu's gaze, he clearly "saw" that Haori's eyes had transformed into three tomoe!

He remembered that when this kid attacked the Hidden Stone Village camp last night, he only had two tomoe.

How come this kid has already reached the Three-Tomoe level in the blink of an eye?

"And this brat is even faster, and his methods have become more ruthless, especially..."

In particular, Madara saw that when Hagoromo was being attacked from both sides by Iwagakure ninjas, he suddenly changed tactics and rushed out quickly.

Amidst the onslaught of the Iwa ninja, she dodged a series of attacks like a butterfly flitting among flowers, finally arriving in front of the Iwa ninja captain.

The next moment, this kid actually used his newly enhanced Sharingan to forcefully stare into the eyes of the Iwa ninja captain.

In that instant, the Iwa ninja captain froze on the spot, and Hagoromo killed him instantly!

"You've only just completed the upgrade, and you're already this skilled?"

As for what happens next, there's no need to watch anymore.

The brat who possessed the most insidious and deserving-to-be-killed technique of the Senju clan, Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique, has arrived, and the outcome of the battle is no longer in doubt.

Madara also fell into deep thought at this moment, and after a while his gaze fell on Obito, who had been placed on the bed by White Zetsu.

Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind.

Did I choose the wrong person?
