The Nine-Tails had submitted to Saiki Yuu!
And it was no ordinary submission—it had willingly become Saiki Yuu's money tree.
Uchiha Madara had always looked down on Tailed Beasts, regarding them as trash.
But among the Tailed Beasts, the Nine-Tails was a special existence, exceptionally powerful!
Otherwise, Uchiha Madara would not have gone to such lengths to control the Nine-Tails and send it into battle against Hashirama Senju.
In Uchiha Madara's eyes, the Nine-Tails' power was at least enough to qualify it to participate in a battle between himself and Hashirama Senju.
Though before his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the Nine-Tails had no ability to resist and could only be controlled by him.
But that was the effect of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular technique! And the Nine-Tails had never truly submitted to him.
Saiki Yuu did not possess Uchiha blood, much less the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. That meant he must have some extraordinary method to make the Nine-Tails submit.
...Please send flowers...
What exactly that method was, Uchiha Madara could not figure out for the time being. After all, even he had never truly made the Nine-Tails submit.
Still, though all this surprised Uchiha Madara, it was no more than a surprise.
Nagato, whom he had chosen as the vessel for the Rinnegan, was utterly incapable of bringing out the Rinnegan's true power. Whether he could defeat Saiki Yuu, who possessed unknown means capable of making the Nine-Tails submit, remained uncertain.
But in Uchiha Madara's eyes, did it matter whether Nagato could defeat Saiki Yuu?
Not at all!
He merely had to wait until Nagato could control the Rinnegan, then use the Rinne Rebirth Technique to revive him.
That was Nagato's only purpose.
To trade Nagato's life for Uchiha Madara's return to the world!
As long as he was revived
