"Uchiha Chisato? Oh, her."
Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow at the name. "I remember her. She was the girl who developed the forbidden Sharingan technique Izanami a few years ago and single-handedly ended the Uchiha's internal conflict over stealing eyes, wasn't she?"
"She's still alive? Interesting."
"That's right."
Black Zetsu nodded. "Not only is she alive, she's doing better than ever."
"The damage that forbidden technique did to her vital essence seems to have healed completely."
"Not only has her strength returned to its peak, her constitution and vitality have improved considerably, and her ocular power is fully intact."
"Today, she used just one ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan to activate the fourth stage of Susanoo and defeat the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki."
Madara Uchiha sounded a little surprised. "Her vital essence and ocular power have both recovered?"
"And she can activate Susanoo's fourth stage with just one ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan?"
"That's actually... not bad."
Even back when he only had the Mangekyo Sharingan, he had barely managed that himself.
And at the time, he had possessed two intact Mangekyō Sharingan.
But to him as he was now, it was merely not bad.
"That woman, Uchiha Chisato, will never awaken the Eternal Eye."
Madara Uchiha spoke flatly, with a hint of disdain.
"Let alone the Rinnegan."
As far as he was concerned, that woman couldn't even come close to him.
Without the Eternal Eye, the Rinnegan was out of the question.
That was where true power lay.
As for Uchiha Chisato?
Her ceiling was set. No matter how hard she tried, she could only go so far.
She posed no threat to him whatsoever.
"Yes, exactly."
Black Zetsu nodded in agreement, his tone growing more serious.
"I keep feeling that something's off, not just with her, but with the other Uchiha as well."
