Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara

Read 20+ Chapter's Ahead in Patreon

With the meddling clan leader gone, everyone finally felt a bit more at ease.

The appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan was too astonishing, and everyone was eager to understand its origin. Years ago, all information about it had been strictly sealed within the clan.

Now, only rumors circulated, and their authenticity was impossible to verify.

Some said that awakening the Mangekyō required talent—at the very least, one needed to awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan before the age of twenty.

Others claimed that the Mangekyō could only be obtained by consuming the blood of close relatives.

The most absurd rumor suggested that only offspring born of close kin could possibly awaken this legendary, Mangekyo Sharingan.

Facing everyone's inquiries, Kyosuke found it difficult to give a straightforward answer.

If he revealed the truth and people started killing their kin only to fail to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, he would become the clan's scapegoat.

That was precisely why this information had been so meticulously suppressed in the past.

Otherwise, everyone in pursuit of power might slaughter their loved ones until none remained, rendering the Uchiha clan extinct without any outside intervention.

After a brief moment of thought, Kyosuke gave a tactful explanation: "To awaken the Mangekyō, one must endure extreme emotional turmoil."

"A surge of overwhelming negative emotions triggers a peculiar energy in the brain, causing the Three-Tomoe Sharingan to evolve further."

He avoided mentioning anything about killing loved ones and also left out the fact that one's ocular potential determined whether they could ascend to the Mangekyō level.

As for the idea of triggering emotional distress, every Uchiha who had unlocked the Sharingan understood this; it was essentially stating the obvious.

Without getting the answers they desired, the crowd was unwilling to let Kyosuke leave so easily.

"Kyosuke, how did you awaken the Mangekyō. Sharingan?" someone finally asked the key question.

The moment these words were spoken, the scene fell silent.

From behind, Mito, who had been secretly eavesdropping, perked up her ears.

Only now did she realize that Kyosuke had awakened an advanced version of the Sharingan.

No wonder he dared to infiltrate the enemy camp alone—he had been testing his new abilities.

She had to admit, she was growing increasingly impressed with Kyosuke.

Even if she couldn't guess the full truth, she could deduce his motivations with surprising accuracy.

However, she could never have expected that she herself would appear in the story he was about to tell.

"About a year ago, I was lured into a trap set by the enemy," Kyosuke began.

"Uzumaki Ashina, Uzumaki Clan leader, joined forces with Senju Nobunaga to ambush me."

"I let my guard down and was attacked by a fake Mito. It was only after narrowly escaping that I realized I had awakened the Mangekyō."

Kyosuke recounted the events briefly, but to those listening, every word carried a chilling weight.

Uzumaki Ashina—one of the Land of Fire's top-tier powerhouses, known for his unparalleled expertise in sealing techniques.

Senju Nobunaga—a familiar and despised adversary, an old schemer constantly devising ways to harm others.

The combined strength of those two was truly terrifying. No one present here dared to claim they could escape alive.

"This kind of courage—to face death and emerge alive—is that the key to awakening the Mangekyō?" someone speculated, resolving to find an opportunity to test the theory.

While the men admired Kyosuke's bravery, these words struck a completely different chord with Mito.

"No, that's not it. His awakening wasn't because of the trap," she thought.

"Countless Uchiha have faced life-or-death situations, yet none of them awakened the Mangekyō."

"Kyōsuke mentioned an enemy capable of impersonating me, someone who carved seals that blocked the Flying Thunder God technique."

"So… the emotional trigger for his awakening..."

"Was it because 'I' attacked him?"

Plop!

Tears stream down Mito's face as she sank to the ground, her body trembling. Hugging her knees, she cried uncontrollably.

She knew she shouldn't disgrace the Uzumaki clan by showing such weakness in the Uchiha camp.

But no matter how hard she tried, the emotions surging within her were impossible to suppress.

"It's all my fault... It's because of me that he's been wandering alone for a year..."

"To think, I mean that much to him..."

Ahem!!.

Uchiha Madara cleared his throat, interrupting the crowd's questions. "Kyosuke has just returned. Let him deal with his own affairs first."

As he spoke, he gestured toward the distance and left with the other legion leaders.

Puzzled, Kyōsuke turned and soon noticed Mito sitting on the ground.

Quickly, he approached her and draped his cloak over her shoulders. In a gentle voice, he asked, "What's wrong? Did someone say something hurtful to you?"

He assumed someone harbored resentment toward the Uzumaki Clan and had taken it out on Mito at the camp.

Harboring hatred was one thing, but Mito was his person. Insulting her was an insult to him.

Though Kyōsuke hadn't caused enough trouble yet, this would have been the perfect excuse to act.

But no matter how much he asked, Mito just shook her head, refusing to say a word.

Kyōsuke even began to wonder if Uzumaki Ashina, far away in the Land of Whirlpools, had passed away.

"If that really were the case, I suppose I'd feel a little comforted."

With a helpless shake of his head and a faint smile, Kyōsuke bent down and scooped up the young girl. Ignoring the curious and judgmental gazes of those around him, he carried her back to his own camp with an air of calm indifference.

At the entrance, 105 ninja stood in orderly formation. At the front were Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Maya, the two commanders.

When Kyosuke figure appears, all 107 individuals dropped to one knee in unison, their faces filled with excitement.

Kyōsuke had already heard about the situation from others.

Even he hadn't expected this group to remain so loyal to him.

As for those who had left, he didn't hold much of a grudge. Everyone has their own path, and besides, at the time, he had indeed been declared "dead."

Leaving wasn't an issue. At least those who departed could secure better futures for themselves.

But the one truly deserving of resentment was Clan Leader Tajima.

To force the legion into submission, he repeatedly sent Kyōsuke's subordinates to the most dangerous mission's.

Thirty lives—thirty loyal comrades—had been lost in a year of grueling battle.

Someday, Kyosuke would settle this debt with Tajima.

A blood debt must be repaid in blood!

"Thank you all for your hard work over the past year," Kyosuke nodded to the crowd, his expression solemn as he made a vow, "You have not failed me, and I, Kyosuke, will not fail you."

He took out a set of meticulously compiled ninjutsu notes and the summoning contract scroll for Ryūchi Cave, entrusting them both to Uchiha Izumi for safekeeping.

"From this day forward, every member of my division may study the ninjutsu recorded on these scrolls."

"As for the summoning contract, anyone who earns your approval may sign it freely."

With the exception of the Flying Thunder God Technique, nearly all of Kyōsuke's Techniques were documented in those scrolls—even the Cursed Seal technique, though its high learning requirements meant it would take most people years to master.

"Thank you, Lord Kyosuke!" the group shouted in unison, their faces glowing with renewed hope.

The sight stirred profound emotion in all who witnessed it. Yet, among the many faces, one stood out with a hint of awkwardness—Mito, cradled in Kyōsuke's arms.

She didn't even need to look to know how many eyes were fixed on her at that moment.

When they finally returned to the tent, she exhaled a long breath, her tense body gradually relaxing.

Seeing this, Kyosuke smiled faintly and was about to leave when her soft voice stopped him.

"Kyōsuke, will you marry me?"
