"What?"
Madara raised a brow and immediately understood Uchiha Shingen's line of thought.
But it was also an extremely difficult idea to realize.
Compressing such an enormous amount of Chakra onto a blade required exceptionally precise Chakra control.
Not to mention, how could one detonate that immense Chakra in an instant?
Yet this time, Madara did not offer any guidance.
Their brief contact had already made him realize that his previous judgment of Uchiha Shingen had not been wrong.
He truly was intelligent—and somewhat stubborn.
People like that usually refused to turn back until they hit a wall. Some rare types would not turn back even after hitting one.
Madara stood quietly to the side, watching Uchiha Shingen experiment with his technique.
Though he had no hope that Uchiha Shingen would succeed this time, a faint anticipation still arose within him—one he had not even noticed himself.
Hiss—!
Uchiha Shingen's sharp inhale sounded through the air again.
He gripped the kunai tightly and slowly drew upon the Chakra within his body.
Very soon.
Pale-blue Chakra glimmered across the kunai's surface, changing rapidly as time passed.
Uchiha Shingen tried to confine it entirely to the kunai's cutting edge.
But the process was harder than he had imagined.
Even with his Chakra at level five, such precise control still proved somewhat beyond him.
The pale-blue Chakra bound to the kunai kept rippling from time to time.
It took Uchiha Shingen a full two minutes to completely contain it around the kunai.
The sight made Madara glance sideways.
The Chakra control Uchiha Shingen displayed was already outstanding. Even Madara himself could not have done this at that age.
After all, unlike those who had to carefully ration every bit of Chakra, Madara had never lacked Chakra. He only needed to throw it around.
