Looking at the vial of life-filled medicine, Uchiha Madara sighed. The kid was already like this—how much worse could it get?
He took out the vial and poured it down Nawaki's throat in one gulp. For the first time in his life, Uchiha Madara began praying that a member of his sworn enemy's Senju Clan would pull through!
Yet the medicine's effects surpassed his expectations. Stimulated by the White Zetsu's Yang Release Chakra wrapped around Nawaki, its effects took hold rapidly. Nawaki's injuries healed almost instantly, and the indentation in his skull slowly smoothed out.
