Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Only Because I Am Uchiha Madara
Read 20+ Chapter's Ahead in Patreon
During the Fourth Great Ninja War, the formidable Fire Style and Taijutsu techniques exhibited by Madara were not the result of any enhanced physical abilities granted by dojutsu powers.
The reason is simple—his chakra was vast enough.
Had Hashirama been there, even using a simple Earth Style jutsu would require dozens of ninjas working together to resist it.
As for why Madara didn't use his dojutsu techniques, Kyosuke speculated that there were two possible reasons.
First, Madara's dojutsu techniques were passive abilities, not ones that could directly affect the human body.
Second, these dojutsu techniques had no effect on Hashirama Senju.
Between the two, Kyosuke leaned more towards the first explanation.
During his battle with the Allied Shinobi Forces and the Five Kage, Edo Tensei Madara displayed his personal abilities almost perfectly.
Taijutsu, swordsmanship, ninjutsu, the Mangekyō Sharingan, the Rinnegan, Wood Style, and so on.
Had the Nine-Tails not been absent, he would have even summoned a summoning beast to show off—he clearly had been holding back for quite some time.
If the abilities granted by the Mangekyō Sharingan were something that could be used in a direct and obvious way, there would have been no reason for Madara to deliberately hide them.
The only explanation is that he either could not use them actively or, if he did, the effect was not immediately obvious.
For example, Genjutsu.
In the span of thousands of years, Indra's reincarnations number in the dozens, and while they might not reach Madara's level, at the very least, activating the Mangekyō Sharingan should not have been an issue.
So why has Black Zetsu not modified the Stone tablet to guide earlier reincarnations to merge with the power of the Senju?
Kyosuke guessed that those reincarnations did not meet the conditions required to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
The Rinnegan is one aspect, but possessing the qualifications to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi is also crucial.
Perhaps these qualifications are the dojutsu techniques that Madara holds.
Black Zetsu's long wait was for such a reincarnation to appear.
During the battle between Edo Tensei Madara and the Five Kage, the Raikage activated his Lightning Style Armor to its fullest, with chakra boiling inside him like boiling water, making it seemingly impossible for him to be affected by genjutsu.
However, when Madara merely glanced at him with his Mangekyō Sharingan, the Raikage collapsed on the spot.
The mastery of Madara's genjutsu was so high, it even surpassed his proficiency in taijutsu and ninjutsu.
Even when Madara made his first appearance, Onoki, the Tsuchikage, immediately shouted for everyone to avoid looking at his eyes.
This showed that, in Onoki's mind, Madara's genjutsu was far more terrifying than his ninjutsu and taijutsu.
(End of forced explanation—just enjoy, everyone!)
At the scene, both sides had been silently staring at each other for a long time.
Since they were all members of the Uchiha clan, they understood that the two were competing in genjutsu.
"What do you think? Who do you think will win?"
"I used to think Elder Koji had the better chance, but now…"
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the situation on the battlefield finally began to shift.
"Cough, cough, cough." Uchiha Kōji stumbled back two steps, clutching his eyes and gasping heavily for air.
On the other side, Uchiha Madara was drenched in sweat, his chest rising and falling rapidly, clearly exhausted from the massive chakra expenditure.
The spectators held their breath, their gazes shifting between the two combatants.
It seemed that the young clan leader had gained a clear advantage.
"Wh-why?" After a long silence, Uchiha Kōji suddenly asked a question that no one could understand.
In response, Uchiha Madara did not explain in detail but silently raised his long blade, adopting a posture that indicated his intention to engage in close combat.
"...?" Uchiha Kōji inhaled deeply, his eyes filled with a complex expression as he stared at his opponent.
Only he knew that within the eerie illusionary space, Uchiha Madara had the power to easily finish him off.
As for why he didn't, to be honest, Uchiha Kōji wasn't entirely sure.
"Come, let me see how good your skills are," he said, raising his katana to assume a defensive stance for the first time.
Before the audience could react to the surprise, Uchiha Madara appeared in front of Kōji like a flash, kicking him in the abdomen with incredible speed.
"Such speed." Even Kyōsuke couldn't help but feel surprised.
Initially, he had thought that Izuna was the fastest ninja he had ever seen, but now it seems that Madara was just as impressive.
In fact, when it came to agility and explosive power, Madara had undergone a qualitative leap.
His frightening speed was even faster than Kyōsuke's full-powered Shunshin (Body Flicker Technique).
It seemed that only the Flying Thunder God technique could match Madara's speed at this moment.
"So this is the power granted by Indra's chakra," Kyōsuke thought, feeling a twinge of envy.
On the battlefield, what should have been an evenly matched fight had now turned into a one-man show by Uchiha Madara.
Illusions held an overwhelming advantage, and taijutsu was able to suppress the opponent entirely throughout the battle.
Keep in mind, this was Uchiha Kōji, a legendary elder renowned throughout the ninja world. When has he ever been reduced to this kind of situation?
This wasn't just about illusions. During the fight, Madara hadn't even activated his Mangekyō Sharingan—he was using only his regular Sharingan, fighting head-on with his opponent.
What did this show?
It showed that even without awakening the Mangekyō, Uchiha Madara still possessed the power to look down upon everything.
Deflecting a sword strike aimed at him, Madara sneered as he closed in, planting his right foot on the ground.
In an instant, his body twisted into the air, using the momentum to land a devastating kick to Kōji's chest.
In just one minute, Uchiha Kōji was knocked to the ground for the second time.
"Damn it," Elder Kōji muttered, his hair disheveled, his face filled with the shame of failing to maintain his dignity in his later years.
Overcome with rage, he paid no attention to the clan members surrounding him and decisively unleashed his strongest S-rank Fire Style technique.
"You old fool, you're asking for death!" Kyōsuke's eyes narrowed, a cold, menacing aura radiating from him.
Among the onlookers were many of his subordinates.
Without any warning or defense, the damage caused by this jutsu could be catastrophic.
It could be said that from the moment Uchiha Kōji began to form his high-level jutsu, he completely forfeited any chance of claiming the position of clan leader.
No one would allow a person who disregarded the lives of others to lead them.
"Bastard, how dare you!" Madara, having already decided to take on the responsibilities of clan leader, immediately activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, pushing his dojutsu power to its peak.
In a moment of disorientation, he felt as though his soul was about to leave his body.
Steeling himself, the blue arm of the Susanoo materialized in an instant, and it swung fiercely toward his opponent.
On the side, Kyōsuke still prepared to intervene. Even with the initial form of the Susanoo, it might not be enough to break through Kōji's S-rank Fire Style jutsu.
At that moment, the fiery jutsu, resembling a divine sword of flames, suddenly shrank at a visible speed, eventually dissipating into sparkling lights in the air.
Not far away, Izuna, with a pained expression, covered his eyes, his face full of exhaustion. "Fortunately, my dojutsu techniques can help big brother."
Boom!
The Susanoo's fist struck with overwhelming force, sending Uchiha Kōji crashing to the ground, grievously injured. Had Madara not intentionally held back, Kōji's insides would have likely been crushed.
After defeating his opponent, Madara swept his sharp gaze across the field. Anyone who met his eyes immediately lowered their heads.
Youthful ambition, more proud than the autumn frost, what could rival the thrill of advancing in a single victorious battle?
Today, Uchiha Madara had proven himself with absolute strength.
From this moment on, he would be the undisputed leader of the Uchiha clan.
