The key lies in the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!
Understanding this, Uchiha Madara turned around and looked behind him.
Behind him, in the deep, dark underground, a massive statue, resembling a dormant, savage beast, stood silently.

Madara turned back to White Zetsu in front of him.
This guy had so many clones, and his methods were bizarre. For his current self, he was still quite useful!
He had to completely control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path! Not only to control White Zetsu, but more importantly, to further his own strength!

Having made up his mind, Madara, with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan blazing, stared at the empty-eyed White Zetsu and began a mental-override brainwashing:
"White Zetsu, forget everything that happened today! As for Black Zetsu, he just rebelled and I completely eliminated him. From now on, no matter what happens, you must be absolutely loyal to me!"
"Yes... Madara-sama..."

A faint voice reached White Zetsu's ears, subtly altering his thoughts.
Not only was the mind of this White Zetsu's main body changed, but, just to be safe, Madara even overexerted his powerful dojutsu (eye technique) to alter the thoughts of all of White Zetsu's clones through this main body.
Retracting the skeletal arm of Susanoo that had been holding White Zetsu, White Zetsu dropped to the ground in front of Madara. Madara deactivated his Mangekyo Sharingan, his pupils returning to their pitch-black state.

White Zetsu also instantly woke up from the control of the Sharingan.
Of course, the current White Zetsu had completely forgotten what had just happened, and he also subconsciously accepted that Black Zetsu had just rebelled and been killed by Uchiha Madara.
White Zetsu, who had never imagined that Black Zetsu would rebel, stayed cautiously by Madara's side. Black Zetsu had just been dealt with so casually; he hoped Madara-sama wouldn't take out his anger on him!

However, White Zetsu, with his rather frivolous and jumpy personality, was soon distracted by something else, chattering beside Madara:
"Madara-sama! I sensed that Black Zetsu guy's disloyalty a long time ago! It's no big deal that he died! Madara-sama, you still have thousands and thousands of us at your service!
Uh, by the way, what happened to you just now, Madara-sama? How did you suddenly become young again? Right! Did your strength recover? It must have! Did you get even stronger? But no matter what, Madara-sama is the strongest, right..."

"Shut up! White Zetsu!"
A voice, not loud but incredibly sinister, silenced White Zetsu. He stood beside Madara, feeling utterly lost.
"Um... Madara-sama... that... Eye of the Moon Plan... you mentioned before... are we still going to carry it out?"
Having recovered some of his dojutsu power, Madara opened his eyes. His pitch-black pupils seemed to reflect the world itself:

"The plan has changed. Since I have regained my strength and obtained a youthful life, there is nothing to worry about. Continuing to stay down here, living like a rat, is truly humiliating! I, Uchiha Madara, should stand tall and dominate the world!
White Zetsu, it should be the Ninja World ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) War outside now. Spread your clones out and thoroughly investigate the situation in the entire ninja world. I will find a suitable opportunity to make a grand entrance!"
"Yes, Madara-sama!"

White Zetsu stopped chattering and obediently used the Mayfly Technique to sink into the ground, going outside to do his work.
For a moment, only Uchiha Madara was left in this underground space.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking at the vast, dark underground, a smile appeared on Madara's lips. The smile grew wider and wider, eventually turning into a terrifying laugh that echoed through the underground:

"Hehe... hehehe... hehehehaha... hahahahahahaha...
I never thought that I, an ordinary person, would transmigrate to this place and directly become Uchiha Madara!
Hahahahahaha—I am Uchiha Madara! In the current ninja world, who can stand against me!?

The dream of running wild and doing as I please is right in front of me!"
Uh... well... suddenly obtaining such immense power and status, he was bound to have a bit of a nouveau riche [1] mentality. You can't blame him.
Madara's ecstasy came quickly and went quickly, receding almost instantly.

He calmed down again. To prevent Uchiha Madara's character from collapsing, he sat there and pinched his chin, considering his next move:
Uchiha Madara wanted to re-emerge into the world; that was certain!
In his current state, he simply couldn't accept hiding in this place forever, so re-emerging was a must.

Uchiha Madara's current strength was roughly the same as when he was young and contending with Hashirama Senju. Looking at the current ninja world, he absolutely had no rivals!
But, was that enough? Obviously not!
Never mind the super boss Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who was sealed on the moon, just considering the Sage of Six Paths, who hadn't died completely and whose whereabouts were unknown, whether he was dead or alive, Madara couldn't rest easy.

Therefore, his current strength was still insufficient. He needed to go further.
Madara touched his left upper abdomen. Sure enough, the previous Uchiha Madara's sloppy placement of Hashirama Senju's flesh in his body was gone. After being cleansed by the rainbow-colored light just now, Hashirama Senju's power had completely merged with this body.
With Madara's current vigorous blood and energy, learning Wood Style and even awakening the Rinnegan shouldn't take too long. This was the foundation for Madara's further advancement.

Having made a plan in his mind, Madara calmed his somewhat restless mood, closed his eyes, sat upright, and began to meditate.
He needed to review all of Uchiha Madara's abilities, from the smallest chakra refinement to the complete Susanoo. He had to become completely familiar with them, like they were extensions of his own arms.
Then he would diligently cultivate Wood Style, further enhancing his techniques and strength.

Just like that, a few days later, White Zetsu, who had been investigating the situation, returned.
