In truth, Madara Uchiha's view of the tailed beasts was not much better.
He now saw the tailed beasts as nothing more than relatively powerful weapons.
Kitahara Kaede had merely developed the power of the "tailed beast" weapon.
"That guy..."

Madara Uchiha's tone was exceptionally calm.
Then he spoke with lofty arrogance.
"If you do that, I'll feel as though I've won unfairly."
