Is it interesting to watch ninjas fight each other? Although Madara didn't agree with this, he didn't argue with Tianqi. His son was grown up and had his own ideas, and it wouldn't change anything now. Then he asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time, "Judging from your past behavior, you knew that I was still alive a long time ago. How exactly did you know that I was still alive?"
"Do you really wish you were dead?" Tianqi didn't answer Ban's question, but instead asked him a question in return. How could he answer this question? Was he supposed to say that he had traveled through time and knew all of Ban's fates? Was that something to say? If Ban actually believed that and changed his mind, how could they continue playing the game?
"Uh..." Ban was speechless at Tianqi's words. Who would want to die if they could? I still have a lot of things to do. Seeing that his son didn't want to answer the question, he changed the subject. "You can guess my plan because you saw the stone tablet in the clan, right?"
Hearing Madara Uchiha ask this question, the possessed Black Zetsu perked up. He wasn't interested in the father-son conversation, but he was interested in the Uchiha stone tablet. If Uchiha Tenchi had also seen the stone tablet that he had modified, he might be able to use him. Madara was really useless; he wasn't even as capable as his son. However, Tenchi's answer directly shattered Black Zetsu's beautiful idea.
"Heh, I have no interest in such boring things. Even if I did, I wouldn't care at all. I am a person with my own thoughts. It's naive to think that a broken stone tablet can change my mind. You are smart enough, but I'm not stupid either. If you want to bewitch me, you'll have to wait tens of thousands of years." As Tian Qi said this, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Ban's body. It was obvious that he was saying this to Black Zetsu.
"What do you mean by changing your mind? What do you mean by bewitching you? What are you saying?" Ban was puzzled by Tianqi's inexplicable words. He didn't understand what his son was talking about at all.
Madara didn't understand, but Black Zetsu, who was possessing him, did. "Holy crap! Uchiha Tenchi's words were clearly directed at me. Did he discover me? That shouldn't be possible. I hid so well, and I've never met him before. He shouldn't have discovered me, right? Oh! I understand, he's bluffing me. He must have guessed something was bewitching Madara, so he's been testing me. What a despicable brat! I almost fell for his trick."
Seeing that Black Zetsu didn't react after hearing his words, Tian Qi smiled inwardly. Ha! Black Zetsu, you're quite patient. If you're not in a hurry, neither am I. There's plenty of time to play with you slowly in the future. Tian Qi waved his hand indifferently, "Just think of it as me guessing your plan after reading the stone tablet."
Hearing Tianqi's words, Ban's lips twitched slightly. What did he mean by "just pretend you saw it"? You either saw it or you didn't. What did he mean by "just pretend you saw it"? This brat was being so perfunctory! Oh well, he's just a kid. I'm a magnanimous adult, I won't hold it against him. Then he asked, "You've awakened the Rinnegan, and you somehow got hold of a tailed beast. Has there been any change when the two powers are combined?"
Seeing that Tianqi didn't want to answer those questions, Madara also didn't want to ask him how he activated the Rinnegan or where he got the tailed beasts. He directly asked the question he cared about most: could the tailed beasts and the Rinnegan completely grant him the full power of the Six Paths?
"Didn't you send White Zetsu to observe the battle? Why didn't he transmit the entire battle sequence to you?" Tian Qi looked at Madara with a puzzled expression. He knew Madara was asking about the Six Paths Mode, but wasn't White Zetsu observing the battle at that time? Could it be that White Zetsu betrayed Madara and didn't tell him the whole story? Tian Qi immediately frowned and looked at White Zetsu's true form.
Hearing Tianqi ask this, Madara was a little embarrassed. "At the time, I saw that you had activated the Rinnegan and thought you were going to win, so I withdrew the White Zetsu. So I don't know what happened after that."
Upon hearing this, Tianqi immediately understood. It wasn't that White Zetsu had betrayed him; he had panicked when he saw me activate the Rinnegan. Heh, he probably questioned his existence at that moment. Since you didn't see the Six Paths Mode, that makes things easier. Tianqi then waved his hand and said, "There's no change. No, it's not accurate to say there's no change. The two powers can indeed be combined, but I haven't successfully fused them. It seems that the Rinnegan and the Tailed Beasts are lacking some kind of fusion medium."
Tianqi immediately switched to deception mode. If he had told Madara directly that he had successfully obtained the Six Paths Sage Mode, Madara would probably have lost confidence. If Madara didn't want to continue, the ninja world wouldn't be fun anymore. It's better to give him some hope to keep him motivated.
After listening to Tianqi's words, Ban also began to consider their veracity. Judging from Tianqi's appearance, he didn't seem to be lying. Moreover, if he really obtained that kind of divine power, he would have been so weak before. It seems that he really hadn't been able to obtain the complete power of the Six Paths, lacking some kind of fusion medium. This should be referring to the Gedo Mazo. Without the Gedo Mazo to bring together the power of the nine tailed beasts, it is indeed impossible to fuse with the Rinnegan. If that's the case...
After figuring things out, Madara glanced at the Gedo Mazo behind him and then looked at Tianqi. He suddenly had an idea, "Tianqi, since you failed to fuse with anything, why don't you hand over the Tailed Beast to me and let me try? Don't forget that I also have the Rinnegan. Maybe I can make a different change. What do you think of my suggestion?"
After hearing what Ban said, Tianqi was speechless. This old man had some pretty good ideas. He wanted to get the Tailed Beast directly from me to activate Six Paths Mode. The idea was convenient, but he was dreaming. I know a lot. He said helplessly, "If you had found me sooner, I might have been able to give you the Tailed Beast, but I can't give it to you now."
"Why?" Madara frowned upon hearing this. He had intended to take a shortcut through his son, but his son said he couldn't give him a tailed beast, which immediately made him uncomfortable.
Tianqi immediately began to explain, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that I have no choice. When we were fighting to the very end, I used the incredible power of my Rinnegan to drain all the chakra of the Tailed Beast. It will probably take decades to recover. Moreover, I have now become the vessel of the Tailed Beast, that is, the Jinchuriki. If it weren't for the Tailed Beast keeping me alive, I would have died long ago. If you take the Tailed Beast, I will die with you. Do you want my life?"
Seeing Tianqi say this, Madara began to think again. He activated the Rinnegan's ability to drain the Tailed Beast's chakra. Damn it! Using the eyes only consumes physical strength and ocular power, right? But considering that it restored the building and revived everyone, using all the Tailed Beast's chakra was barely understandable. It would take several decades, and with the Gedo Mazo keeping him alive, he could barely wait. But you said you became the Tailed Beast's jinchūriki? What the hell am I supposed to say? Am I really going to take your life? This clearly shows that he has no affinity with these Tailed Beasts.
