Madara watched the entire exchange from the side. Hearing Indra's words, he asked curiously,
"You know me?"
"When you die, I will obtain the memories of your life, leave your body, and seek out the next reincarnation."
Madara's expression shifted slightly. "Then... is Hashirama the same?"
Indra nodded faintly. "He is Asura's host, so naturally he is."
"Is that so..." Madara's expression was complicated. So he and Hashirama had originally been reincarnated brothers.
"I want to make a deal with you."
Madara's eyes flickered, as though he had guessed something. "What deal?"
"Help me restore Asura's soul, and I will alter your current eyes so that they completely become your own."
"I agree." Madara accepted without hesitation. After all, this was what he needed most right now.
"How do we restore Asura's soul?" He actually had a favorable impression of Asura.
If Asura had not helped him, he might have been captured long ago.
And Asura's relationship with Hashirama made it impossible for Madara to stand by and do nothing.
Indra understood Madara and knew that he would agree.
He explained at an unhurried pace, "When we reincarnate, our souls reside within your bodies in the form of Chakra."
"Chakra naturally affects both your bodies and your souls."
"So there are many fragments of our souls within both your body and soul."
"If I return to your body now, I can absorb all the fragments that originally belonged to me."
"To me, those fragments are not particularly useful. At most, they are icing on the cake."
"But to Asura, those fragments can stabilize his soul once more."
Madara frowned thoughtfully. "But Hashirama is already dead."
Indra raised his eyes to Madara. "Weren't you dead as well?"
Madara began to think. He understood what Indra meant.
Indra wanted him to revive
