"Obito..."
Hearing his grandson's heartfelt words, Madara shuddered.
Even after witnessing that "future," Obito...
Had not resented him at all. Instead, he had been looking out for him from beginning to end.
Yet he had failed to appreciate it, doubting Obito again and again!
At that thought...
The anger in Madara's heart had long since dissipated, replaced by overwhelming guilt.
Looking at his grandson's tear-streaked face, he found tears streaming down his own aged cheeks.
"Obito, Grandpa was wrong about you! Grandpa has let you down!"
Madara pulled his grandson into his arms and hugged him tight.
"Grandpa Madara, as long as you... (sniff)... understand how I feel!"
Obito spoke between sobs in Madara's embrace.
"Obito doesn't care about the Ten-Tails power. Once you've dealt with the hidden danger inside you, just take it from me!"
Grandpa Madara is just like the system—he responds to a gentle touch, not force. Playing the emotional card should work.
Sure enough...
After hearing Obito's words, Madara felt even guiltier.
He vigorously ruffled Obito's hair and said...
"Silly boy, what difference does it make whether that power belongs to you or Grandpa?"
"Since you obtained it, it's yours. What kind of grandfather asks his grandson to hand something over?"
Obito said nothing, merely sobbing as he hugged Lord Madara tighter.
"Waaah..."
Grandpa Madara, you're so good to me! Having such a sweet, sensible grandfather must be my reward for all the reckless death wishes I indulged in during my past life!
After holding each other for a long while, grandfather and grandson let go.
ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh.
Madara sighed, looking somewhat lost.
Although, through this incident...
He had gained a good grandson he could trust completely and entrust everything to.
He had also lost his lifelong pursuit and ideal: the Eye of the Moon Plan.
