Madara Set His Sights on Tianqi's Tailed Beasts

Is it interesting to watch ninjas fight each other? Although Madara didn't agree with this, he didn't argue with Tianqi. His son was grown up and had his own ideas; there was no point in saying anything now. He then asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time, "Judging from your past behavior, you knew I was still alive a long time ago. How exactly did you know I was still alive?"

"Do you really wish you were dead?" Tianqi didn't answer Ban's question, but instead asked him in return. How could he answer that question? Was he supposed to say, "I've traveled through time, I already knew all of your fates"? Was that something to say? If Ban actually believed that and changed his mind, how would they continue playing the game?

"Uh..." Ban was speechless at Tianqi's words. Who would want to die if they could? I still have so many things to do. Seeing that his son didn't want to answer the question, he changed the subject, "You were able to guess my plan because you saw that stone tablet in the clan, right?"

Hearing Uchiha Madara ask this question, the possessed Black Zetsu perked up. He wasn't interested in the father-son conversation, but he was interested in the Uchiha stone tablet. If Uchiha Tianqi had also seen the stone tablet that he had modified, he might be able to use him. Madara was really useless; he wasn't even as capable as his son. However, Tianqi's answer directly shattered Black Zetsu's beautiful idea.

"Heh, I have no interest in such boring things. Even if I did, I wouldn't care at all. I'm a person with my own thoughts. It's naive to think that a broken stone tablet can change my mind. You're smart enough, but I'm not stupid either. If you want to bewitch me, you'll have to wait tens of thousands of years." As Tianqi said this, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Ban's body. It was obvious that he was saying this to Black Zetsu.

"What do you mean by changing your mind? What do you mean by bewitching you? What are you saying?" Ban was completely puzzled by Tianqi's inexplicable words; he had no idea what his son was talking about.

Madara wasn't clear on the details, but Black Zetsu, who was possessing him, understood perfectly. "Holy crap! Uchiha Tianqi's words were clearly directed at me. Did he discover me? That shouldn't be possible. I hid so well, and I've never even met him before. He shouldn't have discovered me! Oh! I see, he's bluffing me. He must have guessed something was bewitching Madara, which is why he's been testing me. What a despicable brat! I almost fell for his trick."

Seeing that Black Zetsu didn't react after hearing his words, Tianqi smiled inwardly. "Heh! Black Zetsu, you're quite patient. If you're not in a hurry, neither am I. There's plenty of time to play with you slowly." Tianqi waved his hand dismissively, "Just consider it as me guessing your plan after reading the stone tablet."

Hearing Tianqi's words, Madara's lips twitched slightly. What did he mean by "just pretend you saw it"? Seeing it is seeing it or not, what do you mean by "just pretend you saw it"? This brat is so perfunctory! Oh well, he's just a kid, I'm a magnanimous adult, I won't hold it against him. Then he asked, "You've awakened the Rinnegan, and you somehow got hold of Tailed Beast. Has there been any change when the two powers are combined?"

Seeing that Tianqi didn't want to answer those questions, Madara also didn't want to ask him how he activated the Rinnegan or where he got the Tailed Beast. He directly asked the question he cared about most: could the Tailed Beast and the Rinnegan completely grant him the full power of the Six Paths?

"Didn't you send White Zetsu to observe the battle? Why didn't he transmit the entire battle sequence to you?" Tianqi looked at Madara with a puzzled expression. He knew Madara was asking about the Six Paths Mode, but was White Zetsu observing the battle at that time? Could it be that White Zetsu betrayed Madara and didn't tell him the whole story? Tianqi immediately frowned and looked at White Zetsu's true form.

Hearing Tianqi ask this, Madara was a little embarrassed. "When I saw you activate the Rinnegan, I thought you were going to win, so I withdrew the White Zetsu. So I don't know what happened after that."

Upon hearing this, Tenten immediately understood. So it wasn't White Zetsu who betrayed him; he panicked when he saw me activate the Rinnegan. Heh, he probably questioned his existence back then. Since you didn't see Six Paths Mode, that makes things easier. Tianqi then waved his hand and said, "There's no change. Well, it's not accurate to say there's no change. The two powers can indeed combine, but I haven't successfully fused them. It seems there's a lack of some kind of fusion medium between the Rinnegan and the Tailed Beast."

Tianqi immediately switched to deception mode. If he had told Madara directly that he had successfully obtained the Six Paths Mode, Madara would probably have lost confidence. If Madara didn't want to continue, the Shinobi World wouldn't be fun anymore. It was better to give him some hope to keep him motivated.

After listening to Tianqi's words, Madara began to consider their veracity. Tianqi didn't seem to be lying, and if he truly possessed that divine power, his previous weakness suggested he hadn't obtained the complete Six Paths power, lacking a certain fusion medium. This likely referred to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Without the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to facilitate the fusion of the Nine Tailed Beasts' power, it was indeed impossible to fuse with the Rinnegan. If that's the case...

After figuring things out, Madara glanced at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and then looked at Tianqi. He suddenly had an idea, "Tianqi, since you failed to fuse with anything, why don't you hand over the Tailed Beast to me and let me try? Don't forget I also have the Rinnegan. Maybe I can make some different changes. What do you think of my suggestion?"

After hearing what Ban said, Tianqi was speechless. This old man had some pretty good ideas. He wanted to get the Tailed Beast directly from him to activate Six Paths Mode. The idea was convenient, but he was dreaming. He knew a lot. He said helplessly, "If you had found me sooner, I might have been able to give you the Tailed Beast, but I can't give it to you now."

"Why?" Madara frowned upon hearing this. He had intended to take a shortcut through his son, but his son said he couldn't give him Tailed Beast, which immediately made him uncomfortable.

Tianqi immediately began to explain, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that I have no choice. When we were fighting to the very end, I used the incredible power of my Rinnegan to drain all the Chakra from the Tailed Beast. It will probably take decades to recover. Besides, I've now become the Tailed Beast's vessel, that is, its Jinchuriki. If it weren't for the Tailed Beast keeping me alive, I would have died long ago. If you take the Tailed Beast, I will die too. Do you want my life?"

Seeing Tianqi's words, Madara began to ponder again. He activated the Rinnegan's ability to drain the Tailed Beast's Chakra. Damn it! Using his eyes only consumes stamina and ocular power, right? But considering the ability to restore the buildings and revive everyone, using all the Tailed Beast's Chakra was barely understandable. He could barely wait for several decades with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path keeping him alive. But you say you've become Tailed Beast's Jinchuriki? What the hell am I supposed to say? Am I really going to take your life? This clearly shows that he has no connection with these Tailed Beasts.
