Chapter 248:
Madara's low words made White Zetsu freeze in shock.
"The Rinnegan's power has awakened?"
Madara could sense the awakening of the Rinnegan's abilities, and White Zetsu wasn't entirely surprised.
After all, the Rinnegan was not only Madara's own creation but was also connected to the Gedo Statue.
The link between the Rinnegan and the Gedo Statue transcended physical limits, capable of spanning the enormous distance between the moon and the earth.
Now that the Gedo Statue remained tethered to Madara's body, it was natural for him to feel the shift in the Rinnegan's power even across vast distances.
But still…
"At Nagato's current age, the Rinnegan shouldn't have fully awakened…" Zetsu murmured.
"Who knows…" Madara's voice was calm as he closed his eyes again. "It doesn't matter. Keep an eye on him. His current body won't be able to handle the strain of such power for long."
