Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara

"How is that possible?!"

The threat coming from behind startled Uchiha Hikoichi, causing his soul to nearly leap out.

He was a close-to-elite jonin-level powerhouse. Even if his condition wasn't at its best, his attention should have been more than 60% of its peak.

However, the approach was so silent that it wasn't something an ordinary ninja could accomplish.

He forcibly exerted power from his waist, turning his body around.

At the moment the blade was about to strike, he managed to block the attack with a kunai.

Looking at the enemy wearing a mask, Uchiha Hikoichi quickly formed hand seals and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

"Such a foolish question."

A hoarse voice rang out, and Kyosuke furrowed his brow slightly, thinking to himself that this guy was indeed a bit troublesome.

Using the spatial coordinates on the ground, he had closed in to within less than 2 meters.

Under normal circumstances, no one could escape his sudden strike.

But the opponent had managed to block it. It seemed like the condition wasn't perfect, though.

'The gap in strength between similar levels increases as time goes on.'

If the enemy were in peak condition, even if Kyosuke exposed his identity, he likely wouldn't be able to defeat him.

At best, it would be a stalemate. With Flying Thunder God, Uchiha Hikoichi wouldn't be able to deal with him either.

However, this guy had just gone through a fierce battle and almost lost his life on the battlefield.

His physical strength and chakra had dropped below warning levels. In a one-on-one fight, there might still be a chance of winning.

Kyosuke quickly formed another hand seal and instantly appeared at the enemy's diagonal rear.

"What?!"

Uchiha Hikoichi's eyes widened, forcibly interrupting his ninjutsu.

Using the Shisui-style Body Flicker Technique, Kyosuke appeared beside the enemy, not giving him the chance to perform any jutsu.

One slash, two slashes, three slashes...

In an instant, he had slashed seven times, each cut swift and sharp, successfully leaving a bloody gash on the enemy's left shoulder.

Of course, Kyosuke himself wasn't unscathed; his abdomen took a heavy kick, and it felt as if a car had struck him.

He was sent rolling more than ten meters away, stopping only when he collided with a large tree.

"Cough"

Spitting out blood, Kyosuke slowly stood up, his eyes filled with killing intent.

He had known for a long time that the world of Naruto was a place where people devoured one another.

No, any world is like that; it's just more blatant here.

Ever since he personally dealt with the prisoners of the three clans, he had secretly made a resolution: anyone who dares to stop him must die!

Shaking the blood from his blade, Kyosuke crouched, like a jungle predator observing his prey.

"Are you from the Uchiha clan?!"

Uchiha Hikoichi's eyes widened, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

Appearance could be concealed, body shape could be disguised, but the traces of Kenjutsu would ultimately expose him.

Even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run, and with so many subordinates, there would always be someone skilled in Kenjutsu.

"I see, I see, I see."

The blood-soaked man spoke with an expression filled with madness.

Rat-Tiger-Dog-Ox-Hare-Tiger!

His hands quickly formed hand seals, and in an instant, a fireball like phoenix flower seed appeared, engulfing an area 30 meters in front of him.

Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Technique!

These flames were controlled by the caster's chakra, and it was difficult for ordinary people to avoid them all.

The enemy's battle experience was formidable, and in just two rounds, he had figured out the running rules of Flying Thunder God.

Especially after seeing the symbols carved on the ground, he instantly understood the principle behind the jutsu.

"Are you constantly teleporting around the symbols? Truly a terrifying ninjutsu," Uchiha Hikoichi sneered.

He wanted to see who was actually trying to take him down.

Ninja combat was a battle of information.

Even something as powerful as the Rinnegan could be targeted once its abilities were revealed, not to mention the currently limited Flying Thunder God.

The Phoenix Fire he had cast had already covered all the coordinates.

Aside from brute force, the assassin had no way to counter it.

Boom!

The fireballs rained down like a storm.

Kyosuke truly had nowhere to dodge, and if he chose to take the hit, he would likely face a deadly follow-up.

But who said that the coordinates were only in the vicinity?

In a simple flash, he had appeared 2 kilometers away by the river.

Washing his hands in the creek and massaging his still aching abdomen, Kyosuke then formed hand seals and returned to the battlefield.

Seeing this, Uchiha Hikoichi's brow furrowed tightly.

"It seems the range of this technique is quite large."

The earlier scene made him realize that if the opponent wanted to escape, he certainly couldn't stop him.

However, the assassin's swift return made him understand something else.

He didn't need to worry at all. It was the opponent who should be worried.

If the opponent couldn't win, then they would retreat. Such powerful ninjutsu must be very chakra-intensive.

In other words, the enemy couldn't use it frequently.

To kill him, they would have to take the risk and get close.

Only then could he have a chance to complete a counterattack.

Soon, Kyosuke realized the enemy's intention.

"A bunch of old tricks, damn it, they're so hard to deal with."

He had to admit that these veteran jonin were not simple.

The few successful kills in the past had been somewhat influenced by external factors and a lot of luck.

Now, facing a direct confrontation, Kyosuke understood just how tricky the older generation of jonin could be.

The enemy had clearly made it known that he was planning to leave, almost saying outright that if Kyosuke wanted to keep him, he should rush in and fight.

For a moment, Kyosuke wanted to use Chidori to kill him instantly, but he quickly discarded the idea.

Chidori was effective for long-range surprise attacks against outsiders, but its effectiveness would drop significantly against someone with the Sharingan from the same clan.

Besides, he also had concerns about keeping his identity hidden.

The existence of Flying Thunder God Technique would eventually be exposed, and if Chidori struck today, it would expose the fact that he had killed his comrade.

"You bastard, if you want to die, I'll grant your wish."

Kyosuke's gaze darkened, and he had made up his mind.

Without wasting any more words, he unleashed all the chakra within him and vanished like a blur to appear beside the enemy.

Unfortunately, before the three-tomoe Sharingan, he wasn't at the level where he could be unresponsive.

Bending down to avoid the slanting slash of the blade, Kyosuke quickly turned and deflected the assassin's attack with a kunai, forcing it into his abdomen.

The difference in strength between the two was evident in this moment.

Hikoichi could easily block the blade, while Kyosuke, despite noticing the enemy's intentions, ended up losing in terms of strength.

Pulling out the blood-soaked kunai, Hikoichi swiftly kicked the assassin's weapon away.

Before Kyōsuke could hit the ground, the overwhelming flames were already closing in.

As expected, after suffering a heavy blow, Hikoichi still forced him to use Flying Thunder God.

Bang!

He fell clumsily to the ground, narrowly avoiding being consumed by the massive fireball.

Enduring the intense pain, he looked up at his opponent, and their gazes met, both filled with a playful expression.

"The battle is over."

Both Kyosuke and Hikoichi simultaneously thought this.
