Madara's Decision Regarding Obito

"You're asking for a beating!"

Madara still hadn't spoken when Ryobu charged up and gave Obito a proper working over.

He pinched Obito's face. "Didn't I tell you to run before? Why did you come back?"

"I gave you a chance and you were useless. I gave you a chance and you were useless!"

Obito roared at Ryobu, "Ryobu, This Guy, you resurrected Madara Uchiha! Don't you know what kind of impact this will have on us Uchiha?"

"The people in the village will all blame us."

A vicious look appeared on Ryobu's face. Lightning Release Chakra gathered, and in an instant it shocked Obito until he howled.

"I've already been removed from the Leaf Village Uchiha. Why would I still Care About them?"

Madara shouted, "Ryobu, shock him hard. I want to see if this Kid really won't give in!"

Ryobu increased the voltage, but Obito still refused to submit. He opened his Two Tomoe Sharingan and glared at Ryobu and Madara.

"I—Uchiha Obito, will never stoop to working with evil heretics like you!"

Ryobu got a little angry. "Good Good Good. You actually called us evil heretics. Looks like I have to show you evil."

"White Zetsu, hurry up and bring Nohara Rin back for me. I'm going to breakfast her right in front of Obito."

"Ryobu, you wouldn't dare—"

Obito shouted at Ryobu with all his strength.

Ryobu walked In Front Of Madara. "Ancestor, I've gained some insights from studying the Uchiha Sharingan over the years—the Uchiha gain power because of love, and also gain even greater power because they lose love."

"The person Obito Cares About most is Nohara Rin. As long as we capture Nohara Rin and hurt her, Obito will definitely awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Obito's eyes went red, as if he wanted to eat Ryobu alive. "Ryobu, you Bastard!"

But his hands had been bound by Tobi, and his legs had been bitten by Fish Ball, so he basically couldn't move at all.

Madara looked at Ryobu in surprise. The Uchiha gained power because of love, and also gained even greater power because they lost love.

That sentence basically explained the way the Sharingan opened. Without a certain level of research into the Sharingan, there was no way to have such a deep understanding.

Madara suddenly realized that Ryobu was also a research-type ninja. The Uchiha bloodline had only been his burden at first!

Even without that Uchiha bloodline, Ryobu was still an outstanding talent.

It was just that Madara felt Ryobu was too evil, even more evil than him. Capturing someone's Little Girl and hurting her—wasn't that what a Thug would do?

Madara reached out and shocked Ryobu. "Who taught your Enlightenment Education in the clan? How did my Uchiha people end up like a Thug?"

"Aaah—Ancestor, my Floating Wood was Killed in Action as soon as I was born. I'm an orphan. I don't have a Floating Wood."

"An orphan! So that's how it is!"

Madara understood and stopped shocking Ryobu.

Ryobu's teeth itched with hatred in his heart. Acting as a Villain without looking like a Villain, Madara really was hard to serve.

Was Madara bad?

He was indeed bad, but not that bad.

His evil all had a purpose. For example, having Rin be killed by Kakashi in front of Obito was for the purpose of making Obito lose love, thereby awakening the power that belonged to the Uchiha.

He firmly believed this world was hell, and that only the Moon Eye Plan could save the world.

On the other hand, Madara was also a great Revolutionary. He deeply understood that peace in the Ninja World was impossible, so the wish to End War was born.

That was the plan Are currently being carried out—the Moon Eye Plan, to make everyone live in a peaceful dream and make this world no longer have conflict.

Naive, yet simple and honest.

You could not mock a person who worked hard for his dream.

Even if that dream was only a scam.

Because—at the very least, he had tried.

Madara leaned against the arm of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, tilted his head, and looked at Obito. "Obito?"

Ryobu also grew a little nervous. Right now, Obito's Life and Death basically rested on a single thought from Madara.

"Since he's useless, bury him in the toilet!"

"Huh?!" Ryobu and Obito were both shocked.

Madara thought it over and discovered that Obito was basically useless now, because he had Ryobu, had obtained his youth, and had recovered his strength.

As for Obito—

Madara firmly believed that a simple person like Obito was the true Genius of the Uchiha. Once he lost love, he would become more terrifying than anyone.

But Madara also had no intention of capturing Nohara Rin to make Obito open his eyes. He had Ryobu, an even better Chess Piece.

Obito roared, "Madara Uchiha, kill me! Even if I become a Ghost, I'll stop your conspiracy!"

"You still dare to Talk Too Much?!"

Ryobu shocked Obito, directly making Obito howl.

Electrocute Ryobu echoed Madara and said, "Ancestor, wouldn't it be a waste to kill him? Either way, it's one life for one day. Let me raise him, and another day I'll drain him to replenish your Yang Lifespan."

Madara nodded. "That makes sense, but I have an even better way."

Madara's hollow eye sockets looked at Obito, like ice-cold blades cutting across his body.

"Zetsu, possess Obito and let him take a good look as his village, his comrades, and the person he loves most all turn to ash."

Madara formed a hand seal and cast an Illusion Technique on Obito. Obito immediately seemed as if he had been hypnotized, but his eyes were still lively, and his consciousness remained awake.

Black Zetsu moved out from White Zetsu's body, then possessed the right half of Obito's body.

Electrocute Ryobu looked at Obito. At this moment, Obito was just like he had been during the Fourth Shinobi World War, when Black Zetsu had possessed him.

Black Zetsu's possession had very strong binding power. In the Original Work, Madara had once been forcibly bound by Black Zetsu, who directly performed Body Possession on Madara and revived Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

However, Black Zetsu's binding power did not last long. His possession was an instantaneous form of possession.

Otherwise, if Black Zetsu had directly controlled a Reincarnator of Indra, he would have gathered all of the Nine Great Tailed Beasts long ago.

If Madara's Illusion Technique hypnosis was involved, it would be much better.

Even though Madara had no eyes on him, his Illusion Technique was at least Mangekyo-level. It was not something Obito's single Two Tomoe could resist.

After Black Zetsu possessed Obito, Obito's consciousness was still watching, but control over his body had already been seized by Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu controlled Obito's body and walked over to stand beside Madara, waiting there like a loyal servant.

When Madara controlled Obito, he gave Electrocute Ryobu a meaningful look.

Electrocute Ryobu swallowed saliva. This was killing the chicken to scare the monkey. If Electrocute Ryobu did not obey while under Madara, Madara would use an Illusion Technique to control Electrocute Ryobu.

"Ancestor, from now on, I'll do whatever you tell me to do! I'll kill whoever you tell me to kill!"

"I'll go build momentum by killing Tsunade first, completely setting myself against the Leaf Village."

Electrocute Ryobu was just about to leave when Madara started shocking Electrocute Ryobu again. "Why would you kill Hashirama's granddaughter? Although Hashirama and I stood on different sides, we were still kindred spirits."

"His granddaughter is naturally my junior as well!"

"Stop shocking me, stop shocking me, Ancestor! I was wrong."

Madara would not actually care that Tsunade was Hashirama Senju's granddaughter. In the Original Work, when the Five Kage fought Madara, Tsunade was cut in two by him.

Madara really was an Old Demon!

After Electrocute Ryobu settled down, Madara looked at the black mark on his hand and frowned slightly. "The snake venom from the White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave really is troublesome. That old monster of a snake—I'll turn her into a Snake Skin Pocket sooner or later."
