Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Kyosuke Appears and Beats Tobirama Senseless
Read 20+ Chapter's Ahead in Patreon
From a long Time ago, Tobirama had always been wary of Uchiha Madara's existence.
To him, it was Madara who poisoned his elder brother's mind with words. The Uchiha clan was nothing but a group of untrustworthy villains—how could they ever be considered friends?
He conveniently ignored the fact that it was Hashirama who persistently pursued the friendship.
In Tobirama's view, once Madara was dead, his brother would return to normal.
As for the idea of building a village?
Sure, no problem—wipe out the Uchiha first, and the Senju would unify the Land of Fire.
With that achieved, they could even overthrow the daimyo and claim the throne.
Unfortunately, his plans for ambushing Madara were repeatedly ignored by both his brother and father.
His elder brother refused to harm a friend, while their father, Butsuma Senju, was too focused on dealing with Tajima Uchiha.
If Hashirama chose not to participate, how much would it cost to kill Uchiha Madara?
Not to mention, the Uchiha weren't fools. A one-on-one fight might work, but if they smelled a trap, they'd immediately call for reinforcements.
After calculating all the factors, Tobirama realized he had, at most, 20 seconds to kill Madara.
Even if Butsuma himself took action, it was impossible to eliminate the current Madara in that short time.
Thus, the plan was shelved.
Ultimately, neither Madara nor Hashirama was seen as a real threat by the true powerhouses of the era.
The battlefield between the Uchiha and Senju clans was the highest stage of the Warring States Period, featuring clan leaders and countless elite jonin.
While Madara and Hashirama's clashes were thrilling, they weren't enough to sway the overall battle.
Of course, Tobirama personally disagreed with this.
He knew his brother's strength better than anyone.
In less than ten years, his elder brother would stand atop the shinobi world, unmatched and unshakable.
At that time, the Uchiha clan across from them would undoubtedly become a significant threat.
Understanding this, Tobirama resolved to kill Uchiha Madara today, even if it meant facing his brother's wrath.

"Die!"
Using Earth Release to tunnel closer, Tobirama suddenly emerged, launching his most lethal attack.
Water Release: Water Severing Wave!
A high-pressure, razor-sharp jet of water shot from Tobirama's mouth, capable of slicing through stone and trees with ease.
Tobirama excelled in ambush tactics, always opting for stealth kills over direct confrontations.
This habit was evident even in his childhood.
"Tobirama!"
Hashirama shouted, trying to stop his brother.
It wasn't that he feared for Madara's safety—in fact, his sensory abilities told him that a familiar figure was rapidly approaching the battlefield.
If Tobirama's sneak attack angered this individual, things could spiral out of control.
"Ha, it's true that a dog can't change its habit of eating shit." A familiar voice sounded, causing Uchiha Madara's arm, which was about to be raised, to slowly fall down.
"You're finally back, Kyosuke."
The newcomer was none other than Uchiha Kyosuke, who had rushed to the battlefield just in time.
With his fingers forming a seal, a Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear pierced through the air, intercepting Tobirama's water jet.
The two high-compression jutsu collided and neutralized each other, resulting in a draw.
Emerging from the ground, Tobirama cautiously eyed Kyosuke and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
For a shinobi, ambushing an opponent was standard practice. What did he mean by comparing him to a dog eating its own sh*t?
Feeling insulted, Tobirama frowned deeply.
"What do I mean?" Kyosuke sneered, his eyes filled with killing intent.
He harbored a strong grudge against Tobirama—this man who plundered enemy shinobi for his experiments on Edo Tensei, killed Izuna using Flying Thunder God Technique, obstructed alliances many times, and fostered animosity toward the Uchiha.
Each of these actions contributed to Madara's eventual departure from Konoha, sowing discord for decades to come.
Looking at Hashirama's anxious expression, a thought crossed Kyosuke's mind.
What if, back then, it wasn't Izuna who died but Tobirama? Would Hashirama have still wholeheartedly accepted the Uchiha?
"Well, let's find out."
Without waiting for a response, Kyosuke drew his Kusanagi Sword and dashed toward the gray-haired boy.
"Kyosuke, go easy on him!" Hashirama rushed forward to intervene, only to be kicked aside by Madara.
"Fool. How dare you look away during our fight?" Madara snarled, launching an all-out assault.

Back on Kyosuke's side, he refrained from using his Chidori Katana to gauge the Kusanagi Sword's sharpness.
Tobirama instinctively blocked with a kunai while using one hand to weave seals for a jutsu.
Water Release: Water Clone Jutsu!
It had to be said, Tobirama's talent for ninjutsu was extraordinary. Unfortunately, today he faced his natural enemy.
Ignoring the clone, Kyosuke applied a bit more force, shattering the kunai and leaving a deep gash across Tobirama's chest.
The water clone, meanwhile, proved useless against the surrounding Chidori Current, disintegrating upon contact.
"Such a sharp blade," Tobirama thought, realizing he needed to keep his distance.
Water Release: Water Formation Wall!
With a few simplified seals, a water barrier rose between them.
"Maintain a ten-meter distance. Be wary of his Body Flicker Techniq—
Zzzzzt!
The sound of lightning surged through the air.
Before Tobirama could retreat, Kyosuke's Chidori Sharp Spear pierced through the water wall and struck his shoulder, paralyzing him.
Approaching the downed Tobirama, Kyosuke stomped on his face, sneering.
"Brat, today I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your brother." Kyosuke stepped closer to Tobirama and ruthlessly kicked him square in the face.
Before Tobirama's body could stop rolling, a shuriken whistled through the air, pinning his left hand—just as he tried forming a seal—firmly to the ground.
"Ahhh!!!" Tobirama screamed in pain.
"Oh, you scream pretty loudly, huh?"
Kyosuke chuckled darkly, stomping on Tobirama's face with force. "If you want to live, then beg for mercy."
"Say it—say that the entire Senju clan is a bunch of bastards born of bitches. Say it, and I'll let you go."
As expected, Tobirama refused to yield. Despite any flaws he might have, his stubborn pride wouldn't allow him to submit.
Of course, that was exactly what Kyosuke loved the most. If they didn't resist, how could he enjoy inflicting more pain?
A Chidori Sharp Spear pierced through Tobirama's other shoulder, intensifying his paralysis. Ignoring Hashirama's desperate shouts, Kyosuke resumed delivering a relentless barrage of punches and kicks.
Soon enough, Tobirama's face was so battered that his eyes had swollen to narrow slits.
"KYOSUKE!!!" Hashirama's voice roared in fury, filled with desperation.
