Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara

Read 20+ Chapter's Ahead in Patreon

The Fire Temple held a revered status, so Madara's demeanor today could be considered unusually polite.

For someone accustomed to giving orders in a commanding tone, it was rare for him to utter the word "please."

Yet, there were always those who failed to appreciate such courtesy.

When the temple's abbot heard Madara's request to borrow the Nine-Tails, he immediately shook his head, decisively refusing, "Impossible. The matter of the Nine-Tails is far too significant. It cannot be loaned out on a whim."

He continued, his tone earnest and sincere, "Back then, sealing it cost the lives of over twenty monks from our temple. Only then were we barely able to imprison it within the altar."

"If it were to break free, not only the Land of Fire but the entire shinobi world would face catastrophe."

The abbot's words were reasonable and heartfelt. A regular person might have been moved by the monk's conviction.

But the man before him was no ordinary individual. He was the clan leader of the Uchiha, the current reincarnation of Indra's chakra.

If mere words could sway him, Asura wouldn't have needed to traverse countless lifetimes to guide his brother.

"Old man, I wasn't asking for your opinion,"

Madara suddenly stood, his overwhelming killing intent instantly causing the monks' faces to pale.

Seeing this, Kyosuke, who had been quietly observing, spoke in an almost leisurely tone, "If you keep rambling, I don't know about the shinobi world, but I can assure you the Fire Temple is about to face a calamity of its own."

"Preposterous!" The abbot stood as well, his voice trembling with indignation, though it betrayed an underlying fear. "In recent years, the Uchiha name has spread across the shinobi world. I thought you had changed, but I see you're still as unreasonable as ever."

"The Nine-Tails is a disaster sealed by the lives of our predecessors. Even if the temple is destroyed today, we will never allow you to unseal it."

"Hmph." Madara snorted coldly, crossing his arms over his chest, his voice sharp and merciless, "In that case, I'll send you all to join your predecessors today to atone for your sins."

"All monks, defend the temple with your lives!" the abbot roared, adopting a stance that showed he was ready to fight to the death.

The atmosphere in the room grew tense, as though a battle could break out at any moment. Yet amidst this, only Kyosuke and Jigen remained calmly seated, as though the chaos had nothing to do with them.

"You're not going to step in?" Kyosuke asked, narrowing his eyes as he gauged Jigen's strength.

If he could push Jigen to reveal his true power, Kyosuke wouldn't hesitate to flee immediately.

Even if it killed him, he'd ensure he outlasted his opponent's physical limits, no matter the cost.

To Kyosuke, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was a threat that had to be eliminated.

It wasn't just their opposing alignments that concerned Kyosuke. What worried him more was the divine tree sapling—essentially a juvenile Ten-Tails—that Isshiki now controlled.

In ancient times, Kaguya was meant to be the sacrifice for cultivating the Ten-Tails. Yet through her own efforts, she turned the tables, taking over and leaving him trapped as earwax for millennia.

The Ten-Tails, deprived of its nourishment, now lay dormant in a dimension created by Isshiki, its future uncertain as it awaited the chance to resume its chakra cultivation.

Knowing this, Kyosuke had long set his sights on that Ten-Tails.

Once he awakened the Rinnegan and enhanced his physique to the high-level Sage Body, he would be able to control the juvenile Ten-Tails.

If he could replenish its chakra and seal it within himself, Kyosuke would ascend to the level of a true Six Paths Sage.

People often said human strength had its limits, and the Six Paths level was the boundary ordinary humans could never surpass.

To surpass that limit, one needed the chakra of the divine tree. Of course, Kyosuke also had another option.

He could beseech the Sage of Six Paths to grant him Yin-Yang Release, thereby breaking through to the Six Paths level. However, this relied on the condition that the power granted wasn't a one-time use.

Yet in that case, he'd merely be a lesser version of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.

This wasn't an ideal outcome for Kyosuke.

Besides, as someone who wasn't Indra's reincarnation, that so-called benevolent and compassionate Sage of Six Paths might not be willing to offer him his power.

Rather than relying on the charity of others, Kyosuke preferred to take matters into his own hands.

But first, he had to deal with Otsutsuki Isshiki—or rather, the monk Jigen before him.

Having seen through the tension between them, Jigen smiled faintly, clasped his hands together, and spoke in a calm, indifferent tone, "This humble monk seeks to save and enlighten all beings, but alas, the masses refuse to turn back."

"Take this benefactor, for example. On the surface, he seeks power, but in truth, he is walking the path of self-destruction."

"He is like this and so are you."

Ignoring his remarks about Madara, Kyosuke eyed him curiously and asked, "Are you implying that my so-called death is 'imminent' again?"

He emphasized the word "again," mocking Jigen's cryptic warning from years prior.

Back then, Black Zetsu had allied with two clan leaders to seal his space-time ninjutsu. Yet, against all odds, Kyosuke had killed one and escaped.

The ordeal, though perilous, hardly resembled the "inescapable death" Jigen had predicted.

Now, this self-proclaimed holy man was spouting the same nonsense again, and Kyosuke was genuinely curious what his so-called "path of destruction" would bring this time.

"Ha." As if sensing his scorn, Jigen lowered his gaze, murmuring in an oddly tranquil tone, "Ah, mortals. Your understanding of life and death fundamentally differs from mine."

"Life does not necessarily mean freedom, nor does death guarantee liberation."

"All beings suffer, yet those who believe in me may be delivered from calamity."

Before his words had fully settled, two figures abruptly appeared beside Kyosuke.

"Whether this gentleman can be delivered, let my humble servants decide," Jigen said softly.

"Well, well, long time no see." one of the newcomers sneered, launching a kick at Kyōsuke with such speed that even the Sharingan struggled to follow.

Even Madara, who was locked in battle with the monks, turned slightly, surprised at the strength of the white-robed monk's servant.

Unfortunately, such an attack still couldn't harm Kyosuke.

A golden skeletal ribcage appeared out of thin air, materializing in a phantom-like form to effortlessly block the strike.

However, the attack's speed was so staggering that the sheer acceleration transformed its force, making it far more powerful than anticipated.

Even with Susanoo's protection, Kyosuke was still forced back several meters, the sheer force of the attack undeniable—a testament to the terrifying power behind that kick.

Glancing down at the torn mat beneath him, Kyosuke sighed, slowly rising from his seated position.

"Well, this is unexpected. I didn't think I'd run into you here, Shiba Ryouta."

The assailant was none other than Shiba Ryota, the wielder of Swift Release, whom Kyosuke encountered during his time at the arena.

Now, it appeared Ryota had pledged his loyalty to Jigen.

"Life's full of surprises, brat," Ryota sneered, his arrogance undiminished, though his strength clearly justified his attitude.

Swift Release wasn't to be underestimated; its blistering speed shattered the sound barrier with ease.

If Kyosuke's visual prowess hadn't grown significantly, Susanoo's ribs might not have been able to block that kick.

Ignoring Ryota's taunts, Kyosuke shifted his gaze to the dark-skinned man standing silently beside him.

This was Okamura Tsutomu, another of the arena manager's pawns. Unlike Ryota, Tsutomu was a man of few words.

Yet he possessed a rare Kekkei Genkai.

Known as Steel Release!
