"Uchiha Hikari? I don't know that name. I only know Uchiha Nanashi. She was a weapon of the Uchiha Clan. She even absorbed other people's Mangekyō Sharingan and wielded quite a few Dōjutsu." Madara Uchiha's expression turned grave. "Before my time, the Uchiha Clan had no such thing as the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."
"But it seems the earliest Mangekyō Sharingan didn't cause blindness."
"Indra had the Mangekyō Sharingan too, but its Eye Power might not have been any weaker than your Rinnegan's." Uchiha Yi gave Madara Uchiha a teasing look.
According to Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Indra's Eye Power was no weaker than his own. Of course, that was surely an exaggeration.
After all, Hagoromo Otsutsuki had also said that Madara Uchiha, as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, rivaled Kaguya Ōtsutsuki at her peak.
But once Kaguya Ōtsutsuki appeared, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha marveled at how much stronger she was than Madara Uchiha.
The Sage of Six Paths seemed especially fond of talking up how powerful others were, then pulling off a move just as powerful himself.
Madara Uchiha had indeed awakened the Rinnegan, and Yi believed he would beat Indra in a fight. But when it came to Eye Power alone, whether the Mangekyō Sharingan could rival the Rinnegan was still an open question.
After all, Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan couldn't match Hagoromo Otsutsuki's.
Indra's Mangekyō Sharingan was stronger than an ordinary Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, while Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan was weaker than Hagoromo Otsutsuki's.
So saying Indra's Mangekyō Sharingan might not have had weaker Eye Power than Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan was hardly empty praise.
Madara Uchiha fell silent. Having awakened the Rinnegan himself, he knew exactly how powerful it was. Yet Indra was the Sage of Six Paths' son. Even if Indra's constitution fell short of the Sage's and Asura's, it was unlikely
