Confidently stepping forward to issue a challenge, only to be effortlessly taught a lesson.
Unable to find a way to counter the Flying Thunder God technique, Izuna likely wouldn't have the courage to challenge Kyosuke again anytime soon.
"This is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous," Izuna muttered in frustration afterward. "You can move with the kunai—doesn't that make you practically invincible?"
To this, Kyosuke simply smiled and shook his head, choosing not to explain further.
Izuna's perspective was still too limited. While Flying Thunder God was a remarkable jutsu, it was far from invincible.
Space-time ninjutsu was a standard tool for the true Otsutsuki lineage. Figures like Kaguya, Isshiki, and Momoshiki all possessed incredibly potent spatial abilities.
Unlike the Flying Thunder God, they didn't need pre-marked coordinates. They could teleport with just a thought and even create their own dimensions.
The Otsutsuki clan, who traveled across the universe and leaped between star systems, relied on this innate ability.
In terms of convenience and battlefield utility, the ability known as Yomotsu Hirasaka far surpassed the Flying Thunder God.
Even so, it was still difficult for such abilities to have a decisive impact at the highest levels of combat.
The stronger a ninja's abilities, the more terrifying their reflexes and evasion skills.
Take Might Guy's Seventh Gate, for example—it couldn't even touch Madara Uchiha's cloak.
Teleportation might be instantaneous, but the process of appearing, targeting, attacking, and landing the hit took time.
For anyone below the Super-Kage level, these steps would happen in the blink of an eye, making it nearly impossible to counter effectively.
However, at the Super Kage or even Six Paths level, the gap between those steps would give opponents enough time to counterattack.
Izuna's concept of "invincibility" was limited to his current understanding—essentially within the scope of clan leader-level combat.
At higher levels of combat, he lacked the knowledge and experience to grasp what it entailed.
For example, Madara, observing from the side, shared Izuna's admiration for Kyosuke's progress but didn't entertain any thoughts of Flying Thunder God being invincible.
While powerful techniques are essential, they only provide a strong foundation for a ninja, not a guaranteed path to ultimate success.
In a word, Power ultimately came down to the individual rather than their jutsu.
Many Uchiha possessed Sharingan, but how many reached the legendary heights of the clan's elites?
Many people could use Water Release techniques, but no one wielded it as sharply as Tobirama.
In the new era of Konoha, countless trained in the Eight Gates, but none could replicate Might Guy's devastating technique.
Kyosuke had defeated Izuna with the Flying Thunder God as a lesson to prepare him for future encounters with Tobirama.
Even if Kyosuke discarded his Mangekyō Sharingan and didn't use Flying Thunder God, he would still have defeated Izuna.
Why?
Because he was Uchiha Kyosuke—simple as that.

After discussing the recent match, Kyosuke turned to Madara and asked, "What's your next move?"
"What else?" Madara sneered, clenching his fists. "If the enemy comes, we defend; if they want to die, we'll grant their wish."
From his tone, it was clear he didn't take the Tsukigakure Clan seriously.
That won't do.
Kyosuke sighed and began sharing the intelligence he had gathered.
The Strength of the Tsukigakure Clan.
Were they powerful?
Undoubtedly. No single clan could face them alone.
Not to mention, there was the involvement of the treacherous Fūma Clan.
With their mastery of creating human puppets, the enemy had no fear of prolonged warfare.
Even if the Uchiha could hold their ground against the Tsukigakure Clan, prolonged battles would only strengthen the enemy's forces over time.
This didn't even take into account Kyosuke's suspicion that Ōtsutsuki Sugito had already mastered attractive and repulsion forces.
In other words, he was essentially a stronger version of the Deva Path Pain.
This granted him pseudo-Super Kage-level strength.
On the battlefield, such a figure would be a terrifying weapon of mass destruction.
Kyosuke would never allow the Uchiha to face such an enemy alone.
As Kyosuke finished explaining, the room's atmosphere grew heavy.
Izuna's mouth hung open, and he looked at him in disbelief, asking, "You're not just trying to scare me, are you?"
"He's not," Madara said, frowning deeply, clearly troubled by the enemy's strength. "I didn't expect the enemy's strength to be this formidable."
But then, noticing Kyosuke's calm demeanor, Madara suddenly smiled.
"So, what's your plan?"
Heh, it's simple," Kyosuke replied with a sly grin. "We need to find someone willing to… oh no, I mean, someone heroic enough to defend the Land of Fire."
Though Kyosuke didn't spell it out, both brothers instantly understood who he meant.
The Hyuga Clan, located on the other side of the Land of Fire.
What kind of secret dealings did Kyosuke have with the Hyūga?
For some reason, Hyūga Tenjin, the cunning leader of the Hyūga Clan, had previously gone to great lengths to support the Uchiha.
Now, when Kyosuke mentioned needing allies, Madara and Izuna's first thought was the Hyūga.
But things are different now.
"There's intelligence suggesting that the Senju have been in frequent contact with the Hyūga recently."
Hearing this, Izuna glanced at Madara with a helpless expression.
Sure enough, the next words confirmed his suspicions.
"Just a few days ago, Hashirama visited the Hyūga as a clan heir. There's a high likelihood they'll form an alliance."
If Hashirama was personally involved, the odds were high that the alliance would succeed.
At that point, their former allies might turn into enemies.
Noticing the gleam in Madara's eyes, Kyosuke guessed that, if not for the urgent war preparations, Madara might have personally gone to the Hyūga himself.
What his intentions would have been—whether to disrupt the Senju's plans or for some other reason—only Madara knew.
After a brief silence, Kyosuke suddenly spoke with certainty, "It's fine, the Hyuga will definitely be involved in the upcoming defense."
"Are you that confident?"
"Of course, but I'll need to visit them personally."
Hyūga Tenjin wouldn't refuse—after all, he coveted the Tenseigan more than anything else.
On the moon, where the enemy held the advantage, Tenjin couldn't do much.
But now that the enemy was in the ninja world, there was no way someone like Tenjin would remain idle.
By visiting the Hyūga, Kyosuke could not only secure their support but also disrupt any alliance between the Hyūga and the Senju.
No matter what promises Hashirama made, nothing would be more tempting to Tenjin than the Tenseigan.
Given the circumstances, the Hyūga's refusal to ally with the Senju was almost guaranteed.
"A Perfect plan," Kyosuke said with a grin. "And it'll give me a chance to check in on an old friend."
Beside him, Madara seemed lost in thought, his expression unreadable.
If he could, he probably would want to switch places with Kyosuke.
But Unfortunately, Tajima would never allow his son to take such a risk—a fact Madara knew all too well.
With a sly smile, Kyosuke leaned closer and teased, "Got any messages you'd like me to pass on to Hashirama?"
Madara shot him a sideways glance before smirking.
"As a matter of fact, I do."
