Swordsman Renzo narrowed his eyes and said, "If you went and showed off in front of Madara, that would be even more interesting!"
"Speaking of which, Uchiha Renzo, has Madara set his sights on you yet? With your talent, you should already be on his list of potential tools, right?"
Given Uchiha Renzo's demonstrated abilities, he couldn't believe that Madara wouldn't be interested.
Uchiha Renzo shrugged. "Maybe he has, maybe he hasn't!"
"A little over a month ago, I did notice a few White Zetsus spying on me, so I'd say it's likely."
"But I'm not some pushover! If Madara thinks he can use me as a pawn, he better be ready for me to cut off his life support!"
He wasn't like that fool Obito.
If Madara thought he could manipulate him, he had another thing coming!
Of course, if Madara were still at his peak, then he'd have to reconsider. For now, though, Madara wasn't at full strength, and Renzo wasn't as gullible as Obito had been.
In fact, if Madara truly understood his personality and how he handled things, he wouldn't see him as a potential pawn. Instead, he'd see him as a threat and eliminate him early.
"The old man is practically in the grave already. He should just let it go!"
Uchiha Renzo shrugged and mocked.
Despite his nonchalant attitude, he was very wary of both Madara and Black Zetsu.
Right now, he wasn't strong enough to take on even an aged Madara, but thanks to his teleportation abilities, escaping wouldn't be an issue.
His main concern was Madara targeting the people close to him.
The only ones he genuinely cared about were Kurenai and his teacher, Yuhi Shinku.
Asuma... was also kinda on the list. They had fought side by side through thick and thin. Annoying as he was, he was still a dependable comrade.
Swordsman Renzo nodded approvingly. "Honestly, I kind of admire Madara. At the very least, his presence is as imposing as mine!"
Hearing this, Pirate Renzo rolled his eyes. "Give me a break! As imposing as you? What do you think you are? What's the point of showing off all the time?"
He couldn't stand Swordsman Renzo always acting like he was some big shot.
Swordsman Renzo smirked. "Are you saying you never show off?"
Pirate Renzo scoffed. "Why would I? You guys do it?"
He looked at the others.
They all tried to hold back their laughter and shook their heads in unison.
Pirate Renzo smirked smugly at Swordsman Renzo. "You're the only one who loves to show off!"
Swordsman Renzo scoffed. "You're seriously messing with me? Are you sure you guys are normal? 😒"
"People say The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! Even our original self wasn't exactly a proper guy. So, what does that make you all? "
(Renzo's Original Self: "...")
They all have the same idea: 'Better change the topic!'
Uchiha Renzo quickly shifted the conversation and turned to Gundam Renzo. "Speaking of which, your spatial perception ability is pretty impressive! Looks like it could really help with teleportation techniques!"
"Once I get my hands on the Flying Thunder God Technique, it might be a huge boost for mastering it!"
Why could Kira and the others dominate the battlefield in space?
Because of their powerful spatial awareness talent!
It allowed them to precisely track enemies' positions and have a near-perfect grasp of the surrounding space.
"Haha! Glad it helps!"
Gundam Renzo grinned. "I'm looking forward to seeing you master the Flying Thunder God Technique! With that, moving around will be way easier."
"Yeah! You need to hurry up, Uchiha! You've been dragging this out for a while now!"
The others all chimed in.
They all wanted the technique.
Uchiha Renzo sighed. "You guys should know by now—unless I steal it, I won't be getting it anytime soon."
Or... he could wait for the Fourth Hokage to take over?
But that would take years!
Uchiha Renzo wasn't patient enough for that.
With his current achievements, he was close to qualifying, but he was a Uchiha.
Even though the Third Hokage seemed to value him, it was only as long as he could be controlled.
The stronger he became and the more he stood out on the battlefield, the more distant the Third Hokage became.
It was a clear shift in attitude.
Meanwhile, Danzo was starting to make his move.
Over the past six months, Uchiha Renzo had already repelled several attacks from Root operatives.
"You should work with Orochimaru."
Apocalypse Renzo suggested, "Right now, if anyone can get you the Flying Thunder God scroll, it's him. He already stole the Edo Tensei, so there's no way he doesn't have this technique."
"With my knowledge of biochemistry and genetics—and now Gundam Renzo's expertise—you have enough to trade with Orochimaru."
Orochimaru didn't care about control. He was just a mad scientist with pure ambition.
As long as the deal was valuable, he wouldn't refuse.
"Besides, I'd love to see what happens when Orochimaru gets his hands on genetic research and cloning tech! Haha!"
Apocalypse Renzo stroked his chin, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Now that would be interesting!
Uchiha Renzo: "....."
"Hey, this is my world! At least ask if I agree before stirring things up!"
If Orochimaru went crazy, who knew how far the story would deviate?
He suddenly found himself curious.
"I'm actually looking forward to shaking up the story!" Uchiha Renzo thought to himself.
Swordsman Renzo grinned mischievously. "Why not set off Orochimaru early and flip the ninja world upside down? Wouldn't that be fun?"
"You should bring Madara to his peak and revive Hashirama too! Now that would be chaotic!"
"Oh! How about also cloning some Hashiramas and Madaras?"
Uchiha Renzo shot him a deadpan look. "You just want to watch the world burn, huh?"
"Ignore them. Stick to your plan."
Eevee cut in before the others could egg him on. "Unless you want to be the test case for what happens when one of us dies! In that case, go ahead."
"No, thanks!" Uchiha Renzo decisively raised his hand in a "stop" gesture.
