(T/N: Enjoy!!)

<><><><><><>

Madara was increasingly infuriated. When had he ever been underestimated? It was unexpected that, even in his old age, there would come a day when he was belittled.

However, the naive Madara still firmly believed that Black Zetsu was his will incarnate. So, he merely snorted heavily in response, not dwelling on the matter.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu's inner turmoil finally subsided. Fortunately, Madara did not harbor suspicions.

"As long as it doesn't affect our plan, let's not provoke him for now."

After pondering for a moment, Madara instructed Black Zetsu and Tobi.

Although Nagato was Asahi's disciple, practical considerations outweighed personal connections, and Madara had to act accordingly.

Fortunately, Nagato still had an extremely hidden trump card left by Madara. Unless Nagato grew to the peak of his powers, no one would be able to discover it.

After all, it was concealed within Madara's Rinnegan, a chance for anyone to research was practically non-existent.

With this approach, Madara wasn't afraid of any unforeseen circumstances.

Unfortunately,

"Master, I think it might not be easy to avoid provoking him."

Black Zetsu shook his head, causing Madara's expression to darken.

Damn it, are you a spy sent by the enemy? Why are you so good at sabotaging plans?

"Speak, what's going on again?"

Madara inquired, though he mentally insisted on not getting angry, there was still a tinge of frustration in his tone.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu was also helpless. It wasn't that he wanted to cause trouble or undermine Asahi.

The crucial point was that Asahi's actions directly conflicted with Madara's plan.

What could he do? Black Zetsu felt quite desperate!

However, despite the despair, he still had to explain what needed to be said. Black Zetsu had to grit his teeth and provide an explanation:

"Master, it's because of your successor plan."

"According to your requirements, coupled with the information previously gathered from the Uchiha clan, there are currently three candidates who best meet your criteria."

"Uchiha Homura, Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Shisui. The rest don't meet your criteria. However, two of them have already become disciples of Asahi."

"Isn't there still one left!"

Hearing Black Zetsu's words, Madara frowned.

Originally, there were only two. Your demands are too difficult for the Uchiha clan, and now suddenly Uchiha Shisui pops up.

Madara finished speaking, and Black Zetsu directly muttered in his mind.

But with the topic reaching this point, Black Zetsu couldn't keep it all in. Blame it on that useless Uchiha Homura. Otherwise, how could there be such a big problem?

"Master, that Uchiha Homura died in a mission half a month ago."

"Died on a mission? What a waste."

Madara's tone held some anger. Things were getting complicated.

Given that there were no other choices, Madara dispelled the thought of not provoking Asahi temporarily.

"Tell me more about the remaining two."

Hearing Madara's inquiry, Black Zetsu obediently began introducing the situation of the two individuals.

"Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Shisui are both descendants who have awakened the Sharingan."

"Although Uchiha Obito's talents are average, he possesses great love and fulfills all your requirements."

"As for Uchiha Shisui, initially, he wasn't among the suitable candidates. Uchiha Shisui, despite having great love, is quite young."

"However, due to his exceptional talent, even though he's just over four years old, he recently activated the Sharingan directly. So, I think you should consider him."

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's words, Madara answered without hesitation, "Let it be Obito."

Joking aside, no one understood the Uchiha better than him. In the Uchiha clan, was talent important? Of course, but love was even more crucial.

Given this, why would he choose someone who didn't initially meet the requirements but had great talent as the successor?

Madara was already quite old; he didn't have the time to wait. The plan had to be implemented in the coming years.

"Pay attention in your daily observations, see if there's an opportunity to lead Obito, make him despair about the world."

Madara instructed Black Zetsu. After a pause, he added, "Don't rush, don't be too deliberate, try not to let that Asahi notice anything abnormal."

"Yes, Master," Black Zetsu replied.

"Alright, you can leave!"

Pop~

Suddenly, the sound of a bursting snot bubble echoed, making Madara look at Tobi in silence.

This guy just fell asleep.

"Well, is it all done? Mmm~ I slept well."

Seeing that Madara and Black Zetsu weren't saying anything, Tobi stretched lazily.

Madara and Black Zetsu looked at Tobi's appearance, wondering if he was truly asleep or pretending.

By the way, did creatures like White Zetsu need to sleep?

"Hmm~ Why are you all looking at me like that? It makes me nervous. Oh~ Is this what it feels like to have a bowel movement? I need to find a place quickly and see if I can have one."

(T/N: In case you don't know, Bowel Movement is the last stop your food makes as it goes through your digestive tract. In other word, the process of how you poop. XD)

Saying this, Tobi waved his hands and ran out of the room.

This scene made Madara frown.

Being with these eccentric beings (White Zetsu) every day, Madara was genuinely afraid of being led astray by them.

"Cough, Master, I'll take my leave."

Black Zetsu's words eased the awkward atmosphere in the hideout.

"Alright."

Madara only made a light acknowledgment and closed his eyes.

To prolong his lifespan, he spent his idle time in a state of rest.

As Black Zetsu left, the dim space once again fell into silence.

...

At this moment, Asahi had no idea that he was already under the scrutiny of Madara and Black Zetsu.

Back in the Konoha camp, after taking care of the fainted Obito due to excessive consumption, Asahi directly called Kurenai over, intending to inquire about the situation.

After all, when he left, he explicitly instructed Kushina to watch over Obito and Kurenai.

However, Obito and Kurenai had been acting independently just now, which irritated Asahi.

Did Kushina take his words lightly? In such a perilous time, she let her weak junior act alone?

If Kushina had been present earlier, with her strength, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen wouldn't have posed any threat to Obito and the others.

Luckily, he had prepared the sensory tokens before leaving. Otherwise, the consequences could have been unimaginable.
