Even though he had once awakened the [Rinnegan].
He had no confidence that he could awaken it a second time.
In a sense.
Madara Uchiha awakening the [Rinnegan] just before his death back then had been something of a coincidence!
Regardless.
Madara Uchiha had to take the [Rinnegan] back from Konoha!
These thoughts seemed complicated, but in reality, they flashed through Madara Uchiha's mind in an instant.
Madara Uchiha did not directly answer Hashirama Senju's question. Instead, he looked behind him.
Only then.
Did Madara Uchiha notice the two young ninja following behind Hashirama Senju.
There was little to say about the strangely dressed, blonde-haired woman.
Although her chakra signature was not weak, her clothes looked nothing like a ninja's.
It was just that the feel of her chakra was somewhat like Hashirama Senju's...
A descendant of Hashirama?
Madara Uchiha's gaze quickly swept past Tsunade.
The ninja of the Senju Clan.
Aside from Hashirama.
None of the others were worth mentioning.
Even Hashirama's younger brother was nothing special in Madara Uchiha's eyes.
Instead, it was the other young man, with black hair and black eyes and wearing a white robe, who sparked a little interest in Madara Uchiha.
If Madara Uchiha was not mistaken.
The white robe draped over that black-haired, black-eyed young man seemed to be the Hokage's Robe, which only a Hokage was entitled to wear!
And Madara Uchiha had already learned the basic information about Konoha's five successive Hokage.
So this young man...
Was the Fifth Hokage Orochimaru had spoken of?
Uchiha Minamoto?
Chapter 389: What the hell kind of "tomoe pattern" was this?
With Uchiha Minamoto's keen perception, there was naturally no way he would fail to notice Madara Uchiha's gaze.
He smiled slightly, his eyes turning red as intricate patterns resembling black solar coronas instantly
