Ryobu's Sharingan

Madara sensed something about Ryobu's eyes and explained why Ryobu had been unable to awaken them until now: "Yang Release Chakra dominates your eyes, while most of the Chakra of Uchiha people is Yin Release."

"Every now and then, one or two with Yang Release will appear. I didn't expect you to be one of them."

Ryobu finally understood. He was one of the few Ninja of the Uchiha Clan with Yang Release, and he had always thought it was good luck.

It was because of Yang Release that Ryobu had been able to learn Medical Ninjutsu and develop Plunder Regeneration.

But every gain came with a loss.

Ryobu had gained the benefits of Yang Release, but he also had to bear its disadvantages for Uchiha Clan Members, especially those who had yet to awaken their eyes.

Too much Yang Release would suppress the Yin Release within the Uchiha Clan's bodies, cutting off the boost their Uchiha bloodline gave their eyes.

So the eyes needed Yin Release!

Madara continued, "To solve this, you need intense emotional stimulation to draw out the Yin Release in your eyes. But with the way you behave, you probably won't manage that."

"Then there's only one other way: use powerful Pupil Power to break through Yang Release's defense around your eyes and awaken the Uchiha bloodline."

As Madara spoke, his Pupil Power pierced through Ryobu's eyes. In an instant, the black pupils in Madara's eye sockets turned red, and three black tomoe formed a ring around the central pupil.

The Sharingan—the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Madara removed the eyes from his own sockets, then installed them one by one in Ryobu's eye sockets.

Ryobu shouted at Madara, "Ancestor, disinfect them! You didn't even disinfect your hands!"

Changing eyes in the Hokage World was treated like child's play. One pluck, and they were installed.

Madara used Yin Yang Release to install the eyes for Ryobu and said disdainfully, "The Sharingan—apart from the Mangekyo, every other eye is useless."

Ryobu had initially been ecstatic, but after hearing Madara's words, he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

Madara genuinely looked down on Ryobu's eyes, even though they had now become the Three Tomoe.

In the end, Ryobu was still so delighted that he could barely close his mouth. He somehow produced a mirror and stared at his Sharingan.

Ryobu's greatest regret in this life had been his poor health, but he had solved that problem later. His second regret was being an Uchiha person who had failed to awaken his eyes.

Even Obito had the Two Tomoe, while he was still completely blank. It really shouldn't have been that way.

Now Madara had helped him fulfill one of his wishes.

After awakening the Sharingan, Ryobu felt that the world was different. He liked to look at everyone through his Sharingan.

He wasn't Zha Zha Xi. He had plenty of Chakra to spare.

Ryobu was completely won over. He bowed and said, "Ancestor, I heard you don't have any children. My parents died early too. If you don't mind, I'd like to support you in your old age."

Madara kicked Ryobu far away. "Stop messing up the family hierarchy!"

Ryobu was of Madara's grandson generation, yet he now wanted to move up to the son generation. As someone from the Warring States Period, Madara couldn't accept such a chaotic rearrangement of seniority.

Madara turned around. His eye sockets were empty, but with Chakra sensing and the Hashirama Cell in his body, he could see everything outside with perfect clarity.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, even in his Eyeless State, Madara had been able to clearly distinguish whether Sasuke's Mangekyo had Straight Tomoe or Hook Tomoe.

Madara fixed his empty eyes on Tsunade. "Is that Hashirama's granddaughter? She's grown so big!"

Ryobu came over and stared at Tsunade's chest. "They really are huge!"

Madara turned his head and looked at Ryobu. "You like Hashirama's granddaughter?"

Ryobu's heart tightened, but he still nodded firmly. "Of course I do. But for the sake of Ancestor's great undertaking, I can only bear the pain and give her up."

"When Ancestor kills her, please leave the body intact. I'll just take advantage of the warmth and enjoy myself."

"(￣口￣)!!"

Madara and Black and White Zetsu stood frozen on the spot, unable to respond for a long while.

Madara was a man from the Warring States Period, and his thinking was somewhat conservative. Ryobu's words had struck him too hard.

After keeping his head down for decades, had the outside world really become this open?

Madara grew angry. "Is this how Leaf Village educates people? No wonder it deserves to perish!"

Ryobu nodded. "Ancestor, hurry up and kick the Sannin to death. We'll fight our way back to Leaf Village and completely sever the fate of the Ninja World."

"Not yet!"

Madara shook his head. "I have to retrieve my eyes first."

Madara looked toward the Land of Rain. Now that he had restored his youth, he no longer needed Nagato.

Black Zetsu said, "Lord Madara, if you need it, I can help you retrieve your eyes."

Madara shook his head. "I want to retrieve them myself. After all these years, I want to see how that brat Nagato has grown."

Madara truly wasn't in a hurry. Even without the Rinnegan, he could dominate the Ninja World. Besides, in a world without Hashirama, who could stop him?

What fun was there in clearing the game too early? Madara wanted to enjoy watching the younger generation of Ninjas grow and see whether anyone in a Ninja World without Hashirama could satisfy him.

"By the way, Ryobu, do you know what the fate of the Ninja World is?"

Ryobu froze. "Isn't it that you kill my whole family today, and I wipe out your entire village tomorrow?"

Madara nodded and let out a wistful sigh. "Exactly. The world of Ninjas is nothing but endless killing. I want to end the curse of the Ninja World and create a world without conflict."

"Ryobu, what do you think?"

Ryobu knew Madara's goal, but he still put on an expression of ignorance and stared at Madara in shock. "Ancestor, you're not going to destroy the Ninja World anymore?"

"Do you take me for a mass murderer? I'm one of the founders of Leaf Village!"

Madara sent electricity directly through him, and Ryobu immediately began howling.

Madara's restored vitality gave him even more electrical power than before.

Ryobu retreated several steps to avoid Madara's electric shock. "Ancestor, whatever you plan to do, your grandson will follow you."

Madara explained his Moon Eye Plan to Ryobu.

Meanwhile.

Orochimaru watched the scene of Madara electrocuting Ryobu, his expression somewhat gloomy. "Does Madara Uchiha really hold us in such contempt?"

Tsunade nodded. "I'm afraid so. Madara Uchiha has only ever acknowledged one opponent in his life: Grandfather. He doesn't regard any other Ninja highly."

Senju Hashirama, the First Hokage?! Orochimaru began to consider the idea of disturbing the Previous Hokage Mausoleum.

Phantom Thief Jide!

"Prepare yourselves. We're going in!"

"Good!"

Tsunade formed hand seals and released the Yin Seal on her forehead, immediately entering Hundred Healings Mode.

The Yin Seal was a Secret Techniques of the Uzumaki Clan. Mito Uzumaki had taught it to Tsunade when she was very young.

The Hundred Healings Jutsu was designed to work together with the Yin Seal, and Tsunade had learned it as well.

Now, combined with the Creation Rebirth Technique Ryobu had given Tsunade earlier, Tsunade had completely become her perfect form.

Orochimaru turned back to look at Tsunade's Hundred Healings Mode, an inextinguishable shock in his eyes.

Jiraiya having Sage Mode was one thing, but Tsunade's state... Was this a Forbidden Technique of the Senju Clan?

Fine, fine. So this was how they wanted to play it?

Madara told Ryobu about the Moon Eye Plan. "Gather the Nine Great Tailed Beasts and revive the Ten-Tails. I'll use it to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Then I'll use the power of the Ten-Tails to project the Rinnegan's Pupil Power onto the moon and release Infinite Tsukuyomi, allowing the whole world to enter a peaceful Illusion World."

"Ryobu, I've thought about this for so many years. The only way to bring peace to the entire world is through dreams. So I'll let everyone lose themselves in a world of dreams!"

"Ryobu, what do you think?"

Ryobu answered without hesitation. "Good!"

Madara turned his head in confusion. "What's good about it?"

Ryobu replied, "Infinite Tsukuyomi is good, and the Illusion World is good! By then, I'll be surrounded by blessings—from Tsunade, Mikoto, and Kushina. Of course it's good."

"..."

Madara stared at Ryobu with his empty eyes, unsure whether the boy was being sincere or mocking him.

Ryobu suddenly changed the subject. "Ancestor, I'll help you. Can you remove the Curse Mark you placed inside my body?"

Madara nodded and formed hand seals. "Release!"

"Good, it's released!"

Ryobu looked at Madara. His expression was exactly the same as the one Ryobu had just used to judge him.

Fine, fine. You old undying bastard, so this was how you wanted to play it?

Madara stared at Ryobu. You little brat. Don't think I don't know you're laughing at me for being naive.

Suddenly, a series of Ninjutsu fluctuations swept toward them.

"Sage Art: Gama-Gama!"

"Kusanagi Sword: Sky Tachi!"

"Slug: Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid!"

Madara stopped chatting with Ryobu and turned to look at the Ninjutsu released by the Sannin. A cold smile touched his lips. "I'll play with them for a while first. We'll talk afterward!"

Madara formed hand seals. The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path hunched over, its enormous body shielding Ryobu and Madara. Relying on its powerful defense, it blocked all the Ninjutsu and Senjutsu from outside.

After the attack ended, Madara stood on the shoulder of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Even with his eyes closed, he looked at everyone with the same arrogance as if he were looking at them sideways.

This was what it meant to be utterly disdainful.

"Are these the three strongest Ninjas of this generation? Then let Madara Uchiha loosen up his muscles with you!"
