Seeing Parallel World 1 Madara awaken the Rinnegan, Parallel World 2 Madara was clearly very confused and shocked.
"Where did you get the Rinnegan?"
Although the color was slightly different, the oval wave pattern in his eyes was unmistakably the Rinnegan.
This doesn't make sense.
I don't even have the Rinnegan yet, so how could my past self already possess it?
It's like: I've been poor my whole life and never had a million, but my even poorer self from 20 years ago suddenly appears before my eyes and casually pulls out hundreds of millions.
Who wouldn't be confused?
I was that rich before, but I didn't know it?
I had the Rinnegan before, but I also didn't know it?
For a moment, Parallel World 2 Madara's brain almost overheated, but he still couldn't find an answer.
But the fact remains.
His past self, standing before him, possesses the Rinnegan he has always dreamed of but could never obtain!
On the other hand, Parallel World 1 Madara, who had just replaced his Rinnegan, was still adjusting.
This golden Rinnegan was obtained from Ōtsutsuki Urashiki in Parallel World 3.
Originally, Madara, who hadn't merged with Hashirama's cells, didn't have strong self-healing abilities; even if he transplanted the Rinnegan on the spot, it would usually take several days to recover.
But Madara was different—he had the Kyuubi beneath him!
The Kyuubi's chakra contains Yang attributes, allowing it to quickly heal bodily wounds.
Madara directly took a portion of the Kyuubi's chakra, easily healing the damage to his optic nerves and successfully achieving a 'hot swap' effect.
And thus, he successfully replaced this Rinnegan.
Of course, such an impromptu transplant was highly risky.
Madara could now feel the lingering spiritual will of Urashiki within the Rinnegan constantly attacking and eroding him, like a Bijuu gnawing at its Jinchūriki.
But even a Bijuu, even a living Urashiki, couldn't shake Madara's will and spirit in the slightest.
Let alone a dead Urashiki and a leftover Rinnegan.
Even a Konoha ninja used as an experiment could withstand the erosion of the golden Rinnegan—there's no way Madara, who stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world, would lose to this Rinnegan.
Madara had already assessed the risks before acting.
Although there were some risks, everything was still under control.
As long as he didn't use the Gedō: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu after the transplant, it was unlikely to endanger his life.
And using the power of the Rinnegan was Parallel World 1 Madara's ultimate trump card, the only way to quickly defeat his other self!
"Where did you get the Rinnegan?"
Parallel World 2 Madara shouted across, his emotions far more agitated than before!
It was like shouting in demand: Where did you get hundreds of millions?
Why didn't I know about it?
You're making me look like trash! So embarrassing!
"What, you don't have one? Impossible, right? You look so pathetic!"
Parallel World 1 Madara glanced at him, not hesitating to show off.
His eyes seemed to say: Confused, aren't you? My foolish future self!
This was the Rinnegan he had worked so hard to obtain—if he didn't show it off, how could he be happy?
And nothing was more satisfying than flaunting and boasting in front of his other self.
Madara hadn't forgotten how his other self had repeatedly flaunted his Wood Release earlier!
Now the tables had turned, and it was his turn to boast.
Isn't this incredibly satisfying?
"Where did you get the Rinnegan? Tell me!"
"I clearly haven't even touched the Rinnegan, so you're clearly not my past self..."
Even with his strong will, Parallel World 2 Madara was now struggling to hold back.
He had given up everything to obtain the Rinnegan and realize the Moon's Eye Plan.
He left Hashirama, left his clan, left the village...
Even faked his death and went into hiding, all to merge Yin and Yang and obtain the Rinnegan!
But he himself hadn't achieved it yet, while his past self suddenly pulled it out and flaunted it.
It was like his first love, which he couldn't obtain, being trampled on mercilessly by someone else—who could endure this?
"You don't need to know. All you need to know is that this Rinnegan is mine!"
"And you, you're just trash who couldn't obtain it."
Parallel World 1 Madara freely attacked and insulted; when it came to himself, he held nothing back.
Parallel World 2 Madara was so insulted that he nearly exploded in anger.
But with his strong will, he held it back, stopping the Eight-Tails' armed attack while trying to persuade.
"Wait! No matter where you got the Rinnegan..."
"As long as you have it, we can fully cooperate! We can realize the Infinite Tsukuyomi and save the entire world!"
Parallel World 1 Madara clearly didn't care at all about this proposal.
Nonsense about the Infinite Tsukuyomi—it would only kill everyone!
But his other self could endure such insults and still try to cooperate with him.
His future self could be so patient? So obsessed with the Infinite Tsukuyomi that his character had become distorted?
This made Parallel World 1 Madara feel sad and regretful.
"Don't waste your energy, everything you're doing is wrong! The stone tablet is wrong, the Infinite Tsukuyomi is wrong, your efforts are wrong!"
"Even if the Infinite Tsukuyomi is realized, it will only end up killing everyone!"
Parallel World 1 Madara rarely gave chances, revealing the deception and truth behind it all.
Although he hated that his other self would definitely not be easily convinced.
Of course, Parallel World 2 Madara didn't believe this truth at all and only grew angrier and more frantic!
Denying the Moon's Eye Plan was equivalent to denying all his efforts and sacrifices so far, almost equivalent to denying his entire life!
Without absolute proof, no one would believe it.
For many people, even if absolute proof was right in front of them, they would still refuse to admit defeat—because the initial cost and the reluctance to lose were too great, great enough to distort all of one's beliefs!
Coupled with Madara's strong will, there was no solution.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"That's the message from our ancestors recorded on the stone tablet passed down through generations—it can't be wrong! Don't try to mislead me."
"If you don't want to, then give me the Rinnegan, and I'll realize it myself!"
Parallel World 2 Madara grew even more ferocious.
Since the opponent refused to cooperate, it was better to just seize the Rinnegan and verify and realize it himself!
He immediately controlled the armed Eight-Tails and attacked the armed Nine-Tails again.
"So foolish, then die! Good, let's try this."
Parallel World 1 Madara no longer showed mercy, unleashing the full power of the Rinnegan and directly releasing the strongest Chibaku Tensei.
