Naruto: You Call This A Medical Ninja?

Soon after, Uchiha Madara opened his eyes. His Rinnegan shone with power, and an invisible wave of pressure spread throughout the room. The sheer force of his aura destabilized the barrier that Reiki had set up. 

Indeed, the might of the legendary ninja demon was terrifying beyond words.

[Ding! Complete the full treatment of Uchiha Madara.] 

[Rewards: Mysterious Soil ×1, Permanent Grant Card ×1, Fixed Chakra Amount ×819, Healing Points ×102.] 

**[Mysterious Soil]: Unidentified strange soil. It may be used to grow something extraordinary.** 

**[Permanent Grant Card]: Grants permanent mastery over any experience-based ability.**

As the system notification echoed, Reiki's eyes gleamed with joy. He didn't fully understand the purpose of the mysterious soil yet, but the Permanent Grant Card—an extremely rare item—was a treasure beyond value. 

"Madara-sama, how is your body feeling now? Are there any remaining problems?" Reiki asked, breaking the silence as Madara basked in the sensation of recovery.

"I feel no issues," Madara replied, his voice calm but tinged with satisfaction. "Reiki, I must thank you for your help. Now, I must ask—would you consider working with me?"

Madara's gaze was sharp as he proposed the question. A medical ninja of Reiki's caliber was a rare find, and keeping him close would be like carrying an endless wellspring of life. Madara had already begun envisioning Reiki as part of his future plans, regardless of whether Reiki agreed willingly or not.

Reiki, however, didn't hesitate. "No, I'm not interested in your plan. It's heading in the wrong direction. Why should I involve myself in it?"

---

Madara's eyes narrowed at the bold response. "You… know of my plan?"

The pressure in the room surged as Madara's aura flared once more, shattering the barrier around them. Outside, Black Zetsu, sensing the disruption, immediately tried to approach.

However, before he could reach them, a second barrier sprang up, halting his progress.

"Madara-sama, I may not know all the details of your plan," Reiki said calmly, "but I do know this much—you are being used. That black entity outside, Black Zetsu, is your partner, correct?"

Madara's gaze sharpened as he listened.

"He has ill intentions toward you," Reiki continued. "And not just that—his very existence is suspicious. I don't believe he serves your interests."

Black Zetsu, hearing Reiki's words but unable to intervene, fumed outside the barrier. Meanwhile, inside, Reiki kept his tone steady and composed.

"There's someone in my body—a presence you might be interested in speaking with," Reiki added, extending his hands in a gesture of trust. "Perhaps they can convince you better than I can."

As orange-red chakra began to flow around Reiki, Madara's eyes widened. "Nine-Tails? Are you… a Jinchūriki?"

"No, I am not," Reiki clarified. "But I once treated the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. During the process, a fragment of the Nine-Tails' chakra was left behind in me. It's not much, but it might be enough for you to have a conversation with someone who knows more."

Reiki opened his chakra pathways completely, allowing Madara to probe his body. As the legendary Uchiha activated his Rinnegan and entered Reiki's chakra network, he was greeted by the subdued presence of the Nine-Tails, its form faint but recognizable.

---

"Uchiha Madara," the Nine-Tails' voice echoed, far less aggressive than usual. "That entity, Black Zetsu, carries chakra that does not belong to this world. He harbors strong ill will toward you."

Madara's brows furrowed as he processed the Nine-Tails' words. While he was known for his arrogance, the truth in the Nine-Tails' warning resonated with him. 

Exiting Reiki's chakra network, Madara regarded the young ninja with newfound respect. "Reiki, would you like to hear the details of my plan? Perhaps you can offer insight."

"Please," Reiki replied, sitting cross-legged on the floor. His serious demeanor earned a nod from Madara, who took a deep breath before beginning.

---

Madara shared the story of his life—his rivalry with Hashirama, his near-death experiences, and his discovery of the truth behind the Uchiha stone tablet. He explained the Eye of the Moon Plan, his vision for uniting the world under an infinite genjutsu, and the role he believed Black Zetsu played in assisting him.

Reiki listened intently, his expression unreadable. Despite Madara's genius, Reiki recognized the flaws in his plan, most of which stemmed from his blind trust in Black Zetsu and the distorted interpretation of the stone tablet.

"I see…" Reiki finally said, his tone neutral but firm. "Madara-sama, your plan is ambitious, but it's built on a foundation of lies. That stone tablet you speak of—it was manipulated. The entity you trust, Black Zetsu, is not your ally. He's an enemy disguised as a friend."

Madara's gaze darkened. "Manipulated, you say?"

"Yes," Reiki replied. "Black Zetsu's existence and motives are far older than you realize. His allegiance lies not with you, but with a force that seeks to use you for its own ends."

Reiki knew he was treading dangerous ground. Convincing Madara of the truth would require more than just words—it would demand evidence and, more importantly, time.

---

Outside, Black Zetsu seethed with frustration. He couldn't hear what was being said inside the barrier, but the prolonged conversation between Reiki and Madara made him increasingly uneasy. 

Madara, however, was deep in thought. Reiki's words had planted a seed of doubt, and though he wouldn't show it, that doubt was enough to shake his confidence in Black Zetsu. 

"Reiki," Madara said after a long silence. "You are intriguing. You challenge my beliefs, yet you present yourself with such calm and clarity. For now, I will consider your words."

Reiki bowed slightly. "Thank you, Madara-sama. I hope you will see the truth for yourself."
