The man standing at the top of the ninja world

What really concerned Uchiha Madara was Sagi Ichiro's identity.

This identity does not refer to Ichiro Sagi being a samurai, or that his father is a general of the Land of Fire.

Uchiha Madara didn't even look down on the Iron Country, a country of samurai, and a samurai was even less worth mentioning, and a mere Fire Country general was nothing to him.

What he cares about is Sagi Ichiro's other identity. The mission carried out by the Konoha ninjas this time was personally entrusted by Akaka Shinichi, the great name of the Land of Fire, and Sagi Ichiro was sent by Akaka Shinya, so he can be regarded as One of the clients of this mission.

The seriousness of this matter is that Nagato, a Konoha ninja, killed the client during the execution of his mission.

Uchiha Madara is one of the founders of Konoha Village. He and Senju Hashirama also perfected the system of ninjas getting paid by completing tasks for their employers. Therefore, he is extremely aware of how serious it is for ninjas to kill their clients during their missions. This is a serious crime that directly affects the reputation of the entire Konoha Village.

In fact, in Madara Uchiha's view, Nagato's move to kill Ichiro Sagi was very unwise.

If Nagato wants to kill Sagi Ichiro, he can wait until this mission is over. After Sagi Ichiro returns to the capital of the Land of Fire, he will find other opportunities to kill Sagi Ichiro. With Nagato's strength, he wants to kill a It is easy for a samurai who is only equivalent to an ordinary chuunin. Even if Ichiro Sagi stays in the capital of the Fire Country, he will still die.

Although this would be a lot more troublesome, it would be much better than killing Ichiro Sagi during the mission. In this case, even if Nagato kills Ichiro Sagi, it would not be a big deal. It would just be a killing. Killing a son of the general of the Fire Country was not a serious crime at all, and it was incomparable to a serious crime such as killing a client during the execution of a mission.

If that's the case, with the protection of Konoha Village, Nagato can easily deal with the consequences of killing Sagi Ichiro, and the Fire Country general can't do anything even if he wants to avenge his son.

However, Nagato insisted on killing Sagi Ichiro during the mission. Even after others discovered that he wanted to kill Sagi Ichiro, he still ignored the obstruction of Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Akaka Shinya and insisted on killing him. Ichiro Sagi.

Such behavior is really unwise and will cause him to face extremely serious consequences.

But it was Nagato's unwise behavior that made Uchiha Madara feel frightened, because he felt the ferocity, decisiveness, and firmness in Nagato's character. Once a decision is made, no matter how big the obstacle is, , and will definitely stick to it to the end.

Moreover, what surprised Uchiha Madara even more was that although Nagato's behavior was unwise, his subsequent remedies were perfect. If he did what he said, the responsibility for this matter would be thrown away. There are not many people who know the real situation, and it will not affect the reputation of Konoha Village.

Uchiha Madara's face darkened. He was not worried that Nagato would be severely punished for this matter. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he could probably guess why the Third Hokage spared no effort to train Nagato. The other party should be He wanted to train Nagato to be an invincible ninja like him and Senju Hashirama, so that Konoha would regain the dominance of the ninja world that Senju Hashirama had when he was still alive.

Moreover, the responsibility for this matter has been placed on Kakuzu, and it will not damage the reputation of Konoha Village. In this case, the punishment suffered by Nagato should not be too serious.

The person Uchiha Madara was worried about was himself.

The main reason why he wanted to transplant the Rinnegan Eye into Nagato was naturally because at present, in the entire ninja world, except for himself, the original owner of the Rinnegan Eye, only Nagato has the talent to undertake and exert this power. The power of the samsara eye.

In addition, there is another thing about Nagato that makes Uchiha Madara very satisfied, and that is Nagato's character.

Before transplanting the Samsara Eye to Nagato, he observed Nagato for a period of time and was convinced that he had a very good understanding of Nagato's character. Nagato's character was very cowardly and timid, and he had no independent opinions. Madara Uchiha Very satisfied with this.

In Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon plan, Nagato plays a very important role. He needs to rely on Nagato to collect the nine tailed beasts and resurrect the ten tails. He also needs Nagato to sacrifice his own life and use the reincarnation technique to resurrect him. he.

According to Uchiha Madara's estimation, it would take many years for Nagato to improve his strength to the point where he could channel the heretic demon, and he should have died before that.

So he will train an apprentice before his death. After Nagato becomes powerful enough to channel the heretic demon, the apprentice he trained before his death will guide Nagato and let Nagato capture Jiu. A tailed beast, resurrected the ten tails, and then used the reincarnation technique to resurrect him who had died.

Nagato has a cowardly character and has no independent opinion. Such a person can be easily deceived. It is very simple to guide him. Uchiha Madara believes that his apprentice will be able to complete this task.

But now, Uchiha Madara was surprised to find that Nagato's character was no longer as cowardly as when he was a child, but had become fierce, decisive, firm, and very thoughtful.

It is undoubtedly much more difficult to guide such a person than to guide a person with a weak character and no independent opinion.

Uchiha Madara couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. Nagato's personality has changed so much compared to before. It can be said that he is completely different. Was he wrong at first, or was Nagato living in Konoha? How has your personality changed over the years?

Uchiha Madara shook his head. He didn't know why Nagato's personality changed drastically, but it was no longer important. No matter what the reason was, it was a fact that Nagato's personality became fierce, decisive, and firm.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at the ground with an indifferent expression. The palm holding the huge scythe was unconsciously using all his strength, and the scarlet three-magatama Sharingan turned slightly.

Uchiha Madara suddenly felt uneasy, even though he didn't want to admit it.

He originally thought that with his careful planning, the Eye of the Moon plan would be successful, and he would be able to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, then start the infinite moon reading, end all disputes in the ninja world, and become the savior of the ninja world.

But now, Uchiha Madara is no longer as confident as before.

Can the current Nagato be guided by his apprentice as he expected, to capture the nine tailed beasts, resurrect the ten tails, and use the reincarnation technique to resurrect him after completing all this?
