Uchiha En immediately opened the scroll. The contents detailed the results of Uchiha Madara's secret research into first hokages cells over the years.
Perhaps Senju Tobirama also contributed to these findings.
Uchiha Madara's method for perfectly integrating first hokages cells was essentially about eliminating the rejection response of the first hokages cells.
The specific procedure involved reducing the activity and vitality of the first hokages cells.
The arm Uchiha Madara gave him was a finished product created by Uchiha Madara. Uchiha En activated his Sharingan, looked at the arm, then looked at Tobi nearby, and completely understood Uchiha Madara's method.
Due to the suppression by Yin Release, the activity of the first hokages cells in this arm was significantly reduced, making them more stable, similar to the vitality within Tobi's body.
What surprised Uchiha En, however, was that the arm's Chakra volume and vitality seemed unaffected.
Uchiha En continued to examine the arm, and only after a while did he notice that the concentration of first hokages cells in it was extremely high—much higher than the concentration found in ordinary White Zetsu.
At this point, Uchiha En fully grasped Uchiha Madara's method.
It must be said that Uchiha Madara's understanding of first hokages cells was truly profound.
Uchiha Madara first used the Yin Release power of the Sharingan to suppress the activity of the first hokages cells, which significantly reduced the cells' vitality and Chakra volume.
Subsequently, Uchiha Madara increased the concentration of the first hokages cells to maintain the Chakra volume and vitality.
After Uchiha En confirmed that the arm was fine, he casually placed it back into the scroll.
Uchiha Madara had already closed his eyes, paying him no further attention.
"Uchiha Madara, you gave me the chips so readily. Aren't you afraid I'll take the payment and not follow through?" Uchiha En, displeased by Uchiha Madara's nonchalant attitude, turned and asked.
"I trust my eyes; they do not misjudge people," Uchiha Madara said faintly, opening his eyes.
"As expected of Uchiha Madara!" Uchiha En felt a degree of admiration for the aging man before him.
"The transaction is complete. Tobi, take him away." Uchiha Madara gave the order for them to leave.
"Wait!" Uchiha En didn't want to leave just yet; there was still something he hadn't obtained!
"Uchiha En, what else do you want?" Uchiha Madara asked impatiently.
"Nothing much. I just want an arm from that big guy behind you," Uchiha En said, pointing toward the Gedo Statue.
"What do you want its arm for?" Uchiha Madara asked, feigning indifference, though internally, he was experiencing a storm of shock.
This was because Uchiha Madara knew that the Gedo Statue was the husk of the Ten-Tails.
Uchiha En having designs on the Ten-Tails' husk naturally made Uchiha Madara raise his guard against Uchiha En again.
"Because I sense immense vitality within it. I need this vitality to complete a certain technique."
Uchiha Madara stared at Uchiha En for a long time, eventually agreeing to Uchiha En's request.
Uchiha Madara was certain that currently, no one besides him and White Zetsu knew the secret of the Gedo Statue, so Uchiha En's interest in it was probably unrelated to the Ten-Tails.
However, Uchiha Madara thought that if Uchiha En was interested in the Gedo Statue, he could have White Zetsu monitor him closely. Perhaps Uchiha En could provide new ideas for developing the Gedo Statue's abilities.
Uchiha En was undoubtedly a genius. As far as Uchiha Madara knew, Uchiha En's Space-Time Ninjutsu had no connection to Konoha; it was highly likely he researched it himself.
Such a genius might bring him some surprises.
Uchiha En had somewhat guessed Uchiha Madara's thoughts.
His decision to directly ask for the Gedo Statue's arm was also based on the fact that Uchiha Madara himself didn't know much about the Ten-Tails' husk.
Uchiha Madara probably wanted to borrow some of his ideas to develop new abilities for the Gedo Statue.
And things went exactly as he expected; Uchiha Madara indeed agreed.
Uchiha En didn't stand on ceremony. He leaped up and used the sharpness of his nodachi to directly sever the Gedo Statue's right arm.
After Uchiha En sealed the Gedo Statue's severed right arm, he followed Tobi and left the underground cavern.
Immediately after Uchiha En left, a White Zetsu poked its head out from the ground and asked Uchiha Madara, confused, "Lord Madara, why did you hand over the arm made from Hashirama cells so readily?"
"This arm contains a Seal of mine that cannot be detected without the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. If Uchiha En integrates this arm directly, allowing my Seal to activate successfully, he will obediently become my pawn," Uchiha Madara explained.
"What if he doesn't use the arm?" White Zetsu continued to ask.
"Then it means we've hired a bodyguard who will eventually possess the strength of Senju Tobirama to protect Nagato, without paying anything.
Nagato is the key to the Eye of the Moon Plan, and he cannot be allowed to fail."
"Lord Madara is truly wise. What about the statue arm..."
"Don't worry about the statue arm. Our plan won't start for a long time, which is enough time for the statue arm to regenerate.
Afterward, send several clones to keep an eye on Uchiha En and see what he plans to do with the Gedo Statue's husk. If his research results are useful, we can use them directly." After speaking, Madara ignored White Zetsu, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
During this meeting, Uchiha Madara gave Uchiha En a high evaluation. In his view, Uchiha En's strength and talent could eventually grow to a level not inferior to Senju Tobirama's.
Senju Tobirama was the person Uchiha Madara hated most in the Senju Clan, but he still highly acknowledged Senju Tobirama's strength and intellect.
Leaving aside everything else, even the proud Uchiha Madara felt inferior when it came to Senju Tobirama's accomplishments in Ninjutsu.
Space-Time Ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God Technique; the Edo Tensei, which can manipulate the souls of the dead; the Spirit Transformation Technique, which uses spiritual attacks; and various powerful Water Release techniques...
As for Uchiha En, he developed his own Space-Time Ninjutsu at a young age, and coupled with his talent in the Sharingan, Uchiha Madara believed Uchiha En's future achievements would be no less than Senju Tobirama's.
Uchiha En had no idea Uchiha Madara held him in such high regard. After following White Zetsu out of the underground cavern, he immediately used Teleportation to return to the Land of Bears and then rushed toward the Konoha Camp.
The meeting with Uchiha Madara had delayed him for half a day. Asana and Kagetsu should have completed their mission by now.
Given Asana's relationship with Orochimaru, Orochimaru shouldn't ask too many questions about his disappearance, but just in case, he should hurry back soon.
