Whether it was the Mangekyō Sharingan or the Rinnegan, Menma's awakened abilities had remained unchanged. They were all driven by his inner desires.
For example, during his Mangekyō Sharingan stage, Menma wanted to become the dominant personality and control his body. Therefore, he awakened the eye technique for controlling his body: Nagatsu Hiko-no-Mikoto.
Now, in his Rinnegan stage, Menma wanted to control the shinobi world. He wanted to control everything. Consequently, the Rinnegan ability he awakened was Domination.
Domination of everything that believed itself inferior to Menma.
Just like the Domination Demon Makima from Chainsaw Man.
Menma could practically be renamed the Domination Sage.
And Madara just now, because Madara felt that he was currently inferior to Menma, was easily controlled by him.
This included everything—body, soul, abilities, thoughts, memories, and even life itself!
Menma could use any ability that Madara currently possessed. He could manipulate or modify Madara's memories and thoughts at will.
For example, with Kurama just now, Menma had changed its memory of how it addressed him and its husky-like behavior. As a result, before he revoked the control, Kurama was completely unaware, as if it had become instinct.
Even if Menma were to be killed, he could simply have one of his controlled beings die in his place, thus surviving unharmed.
Therefore, as long as Menma controlled enough beings, he would never die.
As long as his eye power and mental strength were sufficient, he could potentially control everyone in the shinobi world, gaining billions of lives.
Of course, Menma would not indiscriminately control everyone, nor would he control his close friends or subordinates. He would only control those who disobeyed his rule and those who caused trouble.
Thinking of this, a bright, self-deprecating smile appeared on Menma's face.
"This ability... I'm really quite wicked."
To be honest, Menma felt that while his Rinnegan ability was incredibly strong and overpowered, its weaknesses were also obvious.
With someone weak-willed, no matter how strong they were, as long as they felt inferior, he could control them. But with someone strong-willed and stubbornly unyielding, he might never be able to control them, even until death.
"Wicked?"
Nagato, standing beside Menma, didn't understand what he meant by muttering to himself. Looking at the motionless Madara, he felt even more awe towards Menma.
"Menma... Lord, Uchiha Madara, he..."
"He's no longer a threat," Menma finished Nagato's stammering words.
At the same time, Madara quickly stopped his movements, pulling out the black rod that had pierced Konan's shoulder. Finally, he stood respectfully behind Menma.
Seeing Madara's appearance, Konan quickly got up from the ground, clutching her injured shoulder. She looked utterly incredulous.
"What on earth is going on? Has Madara Uchiha also submitted to Lord Menma?"
"That's right," Madara said. "I am Lord Menma's dog. The most loyal dog. Woof, woof."
The one who spoke was Madara, or rather, Madara who was completely dominated. Menma had altered his memories, making him accept that he was a loyal dog raised by Menma.
"!!!"
Upon hearing Madara's words, Nagato and Konan were both filled with horror and fear. Madara's terrifyingly humble appearance was definitely the result of Menma's machinations.
Menma noticed their expressions and reassured them with a smile.
"Don't worry. As long as you don't betray me, you won't end up like this."
"!!!" The two were terrified again. They imagined themselves being leashed by Menma, forced to lie on the ground with tongues lolling out like dogs!
"No way! We won't betray you!" They swore in unison, vowing they'd rather die than end up like that.
"Brother!!!"
Not far away, Naruto and Sasuke, having seen the battle end, ran over. Behind them were Kakuzu, Deidara, and the other three.
"Lord Menma."
The group had just greeted Menma when they saw Madara standing behind him. They immediately erupted in chaos, shouting in confusion.
"Uchiha Madara wasn't killed!"
"And he's standing respectfully behind Lord Menma?"
"Could it be that he also..."
Naruto yelled even louder, opening the Seventh Gate again and charging towards Madara.
"Damn Uchiha Madara, let go of my brother!"
But Naruto had only taken one step when Sasuke, who had been observing closely, grabbed him by the back of his collar.
"Stop, you... idiot! Look carefully, Uchiha Madara isn't holding Menma hostage. He's standing respectfully behind him!"
"Ugh, cough cough cough..." Naruto coughed, his bright eyes looking at Madara with confusion. "Respectful? Did my brother take on another subordinate?"
As if confirming Naruto's words, Madara spoke again expressionlessly. "I am Lord Menma's dog. Woof, woof."
"!!!" This time, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others erupted in chaos again.
This world is too crazy! They never expected that the legendary Uchiha Madara would admit to being a dog!
Could it be that the Madara who had been wandering around the village like a shameless street urchin... was actually not a shadow clone of the Nine-Tails, but the real Uchiha Madara?
And everything that happened today was, from beginning to end, an internal conflict?
Seeing everyone looking at him, Menma made no attempt to explain. As a superior, why should he explain to his subordinates?
"You all continue dealing with matters in Konoha. Don't let even a fly escape. I'll go and deal with the remaining two poisonous snakes."
After giving these orders, Menma didn't wait for a reply and instantly flew into the sky.
The remaining people looked at each other, then all turned to Madara. Madara, however, resumed his arrogant expression, showing utter disdain for Nagato and the others.
"Mere pebbles, easily destroyed with a flick of the wrist."
However, upon looking at Naruto and Sasuke, he bowed respectfully. "Miss, Young Master, Madara will obey your orders."
