"Quiet."
"He is a user of the Reanimation Jutsu."
As the future Root Leader and the future Clan Leader recognized by these surviving Uchiha... In truth, Uchiha Sasuke was also quite anxious inside. He was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, yet he had to remain calm in front of these clan members.
"Everyone quiet down for me!"
"All the users of the Reanimation Jutsu in the Ninja World are in Root, he is one of us!"
Uchiha Sasuke raised his hand to signal everyone present to quiet down. He knew a figure of Uchiha Madara's level couldn't possibly have been resurrected by Orochimaru and Kabuto. This person's appearance here couldn't be as an enemy.
"You really do have the air of an admiral..."
Uchiha Madara looked at Uchiha Sasuke in front of him and actually let out a light laugh, complimenting him: "When Izuna was your age, he couldn't do what you're doing. He'd even run into trouble and come to seek my advice..."
"Speaking of which, who mentioned that secret about the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan earlier? They seem to know quite a bit about our clan's Bloodline..."
"Second Hokage Senju Tobirama."
Uchiha Sasuke frowned, seemingly unwilling to bring up this name.
Although Uchiha Sasuke received a lot of guidance from Senju Tobirama and even internally believed in Tobirama's expertise, he felt they naturally had a bit of a mutual dislike...
"That guy, huh..."
The smile on Uchiha Madara's face faded.
To have someone he dislikes deeply research his clan's Bloodline so intensely was certainly vexing, especially when the cunning and despicable Tobirama's purpose in studying the Sharingan was undoubtedly to confront the Uchiha...
"Alright."
Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uchiha Madara in front of him and frowned, questioning coldly: "Lord Kagura sent you here, certainly not to hinder our revenge. Is there any mission to be entrusted?"
"Ha? You thought I was that kid's subordinate?"
Uchiha Madara smirked lightly, his gaze falling on Uchiha Itachi, continuing with a smile: "I was originally brought over by that kid out of curiosity, but I didn't expect to hear someone tarnishing my reputation here..."
"I had thought you young ones obsessed with Konoha's life were somewhat inferior, but just now, I felt someone might not be entirely useless..."
"..."
Intense unease arose within Uchiha Itachi's heart.
Uchiha Madara...
How could he appear here?
Why would Uchiha Madara be resurrected with the Reanimation Jutsu?
What secret lies behind it all?
However...
All this was entirely foreign to Uchiha Itachi, he hadn't grasped any related information at all, only able to stand there, staring firmly at Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara, however, ignored him and just turned his back to his own business, walking directly to the stone chair where Uchiha Sasuke had previously sat. As his body sat down, he naturally crossed his legs, proudly overlooking everyone present.
At that moment...
This man seemed to be the master of these Uchihas.
Uchiha Madara stretched out his arm to rest on the armrest of the stone chair, supporting his slightly tilted head with his hand, seemingly to make himself more comfortable.
However...
This posture was a contempt to everyone present.
Uchiha Madara's lips curled into a faint smile as he looked at Uchiha Sasuke, softly instructing: "Alright, I won't obstruct your revenge. The only thing that piques my interest is whether an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan will be born today..."
"If the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is born in your brother, there shouldn't be anyone present who can stand against him. I can lend a hand to kill that guy..."
Uchiha Madara glanced at Uchiha Itachi, also seeing the Mangekyo Sharingan in Itachi's eyes, continuing indifferently: "I'm not the kind of fool who would harm my own brother for power..."
"Of course."
"There's one point worth praising."
Uchiha Madara's lips still smiled, yet it was quite bizarre: "To achieve one's goals, regardless of their brother, their kin, their friends, they can all be killed..."
"This point..."
"I learned from Hashirama."
"Just like how he, in order to protect the so-called village, would not hesitate to kill family and friends out of a dark will..."
