Chương 372: **Chapter 372: The Root Lies in the Magical Effect of Immortal Jade**
In the original timeline, Uchiha Madara chose to manipulate Obito for several reasons:
First, Madara was dying and needed a successor to carry on his will.
Second, Obito was a member of the Uchiha clan, sharing the bloodline.
Third, Obito had successfully integrated Hashirama's cells into his body.
Now, with Reiki standing before him, displaying mastery of unique medical ninjutsu and possessing potions that could heal even his damaged body, Madara saw no reason—neither logical nor emotional—to act against him. Especially since his treatment wasn't yet complete.

"Here, take it," Reiki said, handing Uchiha Madara a potion. Without hesitation, Reiki opened another bottle for himself and drank it to restore his chakra reserves.
Madara paused, his sharp eyes observing the young medical ninja's casual demeanor as he handed over such a potent remedy. Was it possible he had overlooked the development of such miraculous medicines in the ninja world? Recovery potions and stamina tonics were not unheard of, but the potion Reiki had just provided him was on a different level.
Setting aside his doubts, Madara drank the potion. Immediately, he felt its effects. His body, previously akin to decayed wood, began to rejuvenate. Rigid meridians softened, and vitality surged within him. Combined with Reiki's earlier treatment, Madara felt as though decades had been stripped from his body.
Yet, the lingering presence of the Hashirama cells reminded him that this transformation wasn't an illusion.
"This boy…" Madara thought, for the first time paying genuine attention to Reiki. Despite his youth, this medical ninja possessed abilities that defied explanation.

"Madara-sama," Reiki said ten minutes later, having fully recovered his strength. "Shall I continue the treatment?"
Suppressing his lingering doubts, Madara nodded. "Please, proceed."
Reiki resumed the intricate process of healing, marveling internally at Madara's composure. Despite the immense toll on his body, Madara maintained an unshakable calm—a trait befitting the legendary Uchiha.
Reiki's thoughts drifted briefly. If not for Black Zetsu's manipulations, Madara might never have embarked on the Eye of the Moon Plan. The Shodaime Hokage, Hashirama Senju, might not have drained his own life essence in countless battles against Madara, potentially sparing him from his early demise.
But Reiki's focus quickly returned to the task at hand. For the first time, he encountered a problem that even his skills struggled to address.
---
While Madara's body had grown significantly stronger due to Reiki's efforts and the effects of the potion, a powerful internal conflict persisted. Two opposing forces clashed within him, causing continuous damage and strain. Reiki recognized this energy—it was the unmistakable aura of Hashirama's cells.
Though Madara had forcibly awakened his Rinnegan through the integration of these cells, the process remained incomplete. The foreign cells still retained their independent vitality, wreaking havoc on Madara's body.
"Madara-sama," Reiki said, pulling his hands back. "There's another aura within your body. It's not yours… is it from the Shodaime?"
Madara's eyes narrowed slightly. "Yes. It's the cells I took from Hashirama during our final battle. Could they be the cause of my body's decline?"
Reiki nodded. "Not entirely, but they are a significant factor. These cells contain another energy—a form of *senjutsu.* Madara-sama, are you familiar with it?"
Madara's eyes flashed with understanding. "Of course. But how does *senjutsu* relate to my current condition?"
Reiki explained, "Hashirama-sama mastered *senjutsu,* and the cells you acquired were taken while he was in Sage Mode. These cells demand a supply of sage chakra to maintain their activity. Without it, they drain your body's energy to sustain themselves, leading to your current state. This is just my theory, but it aligns with your symptoms."
To test his hypothesis, Reiki retrieved a piece of **Immortal Jade**, a rare artifact brimming with natural energy. It had been one of Reiki's rewards from the system, and he knew it could be pivotal in helping Madara fully integrate Hashirama's cells.
"Madara-sama, this contains an abundance of sage chakra. If my guess is correct, absorbing its energy should stabilize the Hashirama cells in your body."
Madara examined the jade, feeling the rich natural energy emanating from it. With a determined smile, he said, "Very well. I, Madara Uchiha, will trust you."
Without hesitation, Madara began absorbing the Immortal Jade's natural energy. The transformation was immediate. The Hashirama cells in his body awakened, achieving a perfect Sage Body. Madara's once-gray hair turned black again, with streaks of white adding an air of majesty.
The imposing figure of Uchiha Madara, revitalized and radiating power, was truly awe-inspiring. There was no sense of disharmony in his appearance—only the confidence and might of a transcendent being.

As the process completed, Madara opened his eyes, a new vitality burning within them. His calm yet commanding presence returned as he turned to Reiki.
"You have exceeded my expectations, Reiki," he said, his tone measured but sincere. "You may have given me more than just healing. You've given me time… time to achieve my goals."
Reiki bowed slightly. "Madara-sama, your body should now be capable of handling the power it contains. But I recommend periodic adjustments to ensure stability."
Madara smirked, his expression unreadable. "Understood. You've done well, Reiki. Perhaps, in another life, you might have been a worthy opponent."
Though the words carried a hint of jest, the respect in Madara's voice was genuine. For the first time in decades, Uchiha Madara felt ready to face the world once more.
