Although Madara Uchiha had failed to defeat Hashirama Senju back then, that did not mean he was weak. Without Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha would have been the strongest in the shinobi world.
Uchiha Heitai had witnessed that world-shattering power with his own eyes. Those who had never truly seen their strength assumed it was nothing more than boasting and fantasy, that Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju could not possibly have been that powerful.
But Uchiha Heitai knew it was real. Uchiha Yi had displayed comparable power before, too.
Even so, in Uchiha Heitai's mind, Madara Uchiha's power still surpassed Uchiha Yi's.
And once Uchiha Fugaku merged with his eyes, he would possess the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. There was no reason brothers' eyes could be merged while a father's and son's Mangekyō Sharingan could not.
Uchiha Heitai could not help marveling. Who would have thought that, after all these years, the Uchiha Clan would produce a successor to Madara Uchiha from a later generation?
As long as Uchiha Fugaku fully mastered Madara Uchiha's legacy, his strength should surpass Uchiha Yi's.
Uchiha Yi, however, paid none of this any mind. Never mind Uchiha Fugaku progressing toward Madara Uchiha's level—even if Madara Uchiha himself showed up, Uchiha Yi would feel neither worry nor fear.
It was not Madara Uchiha he feared now, but the members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan lurking in the shadows.
Naturally, Uchiha Heitai's discovery of Madara Uchiha's "legacy" had been orchestrated by Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu.
They had little choice. Dealing with Uchiha Yi was no easy task, and building Uchiha Fugaku up to oppose him was a good option.
If Uchiha Fugaku truly refused to obey, Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha would still have ways to deal with him later. A pair of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan would certainly
