Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Reversing Death, Sword Strikes Tajima

All experts skilled in Taijutsu excel at utilizing the Body Flicker Technique.

Uchiha Tajima was no exception.

Though it couldn't match the level of space-time ninjutsu, it was more than sufficient to handle the relatively sluggish movements of a three-stage Susanoo.

Under normal circumstances, an attack of such magnitude would have been impossible for Kyosuke to withstand head-on, regardless of the methods he employed.

However, Tajima made a fatal miscalculation—he underestimated the defensive power of the Karasutengu armor.

Wind, thunder, and fire—the combined force of the three elements merged into a terrifyingly potent strike.

Before the blade even descended, the ground beneath them began to crack and splinter, and even the air seemed to groan in agony under the immense pressure, letting out sharp, piercing cries.

At that moment, Kyosuke pushed his dojutsu to its absolute limit. He knew that once he endured this strike, Tajima would be dead without question.

The opponent's deteriorating physical condition was evident even to the naked eye.

This was precisely why Tajima had taken the desperate gamble of striking so recklessly, despite the risk of exposing himself.

Boom!

A formless shockwave swept out in all directions. The massive dark-golden figure shuddered slightly but ultimately withstood the attack.

That single blade had indeed cleaved through the Karasutengu armor, slicing even into Susanoo's very flesh.

Had Tajima been in better condition, his attack would have undoubtedly penetrated beyond the final skeletal barrier.

"What a pity. You've still missed your chance." Kyosuke smiled faintly as he withdrew the Kusanagi Sword.

Without any unnecessary flourish, he delivered a single, precise thrust. The blade pierced directly through Uchiha Tajima's chest.

"From the moment you set yourself against me, you should have anticipated this outcome."

Pulling out the Kusanagi Sword, Kyosuke allowed the scalding blood to spray freely as a look of exhilaration from the kill spread across his face.

"Is that so?"

Suddenly, Tajima's voice echoed from behind him, and in an instant, a katana thrust through Kyosuke's back, piercing his chest.

A sharp pain surged through Kyosuke's body. He felt a bitter taste rise in his throat, and blood gushed uncontrollably from his mouth.

On the ground, "Tajima's" corpse gradually dissolved and vanished, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than an illusion.

There was only one dojutsu Kyosuke knew of that could create such an effect—

The Uchiha Clan's forbidden technique, Izanagi.

Upon activation, Izanagi allows the caster to temporarily transcend reality by using the Sharingan to record their current state, including physical condition and surroundings.

During its effective duration, any injuries, fatal damage, or even death experienced by the caster can be negated and rewritten, restoring them to the recorded state as if the events leading to their demise never occurred.

The technique's power was undeniable, but the cost was equally steep.

At this moment, Uchiha Tajima's left eye had been permanently blinded. Yet, in exchange, he had managed to land a lethal blow from behind.

"Young one, remember my words." The clan leader's voice carried both satisfaction and a mocking tone. "Until the very last moment, never presume to determine the outcome of a battle."

As he spoke, Tajima released the grip on his katana and swiftly retreated backward.

Perhaps driven by a determination to drag his opponent down with him, Kyosuke recklessly activated Chidori Stream, forcing the enemy to retreat from his immediate vicinity.

"Why struggle so needlessly?"

"Wouldn't it be better to die quickly and painlessly?"

Though he said this, if not for being pressed for time, Tajima would have taken great pleasure in tormenting the boy before him.

It could only be said that fortune was on Kyosuke's side today.

"Ugh!"

Another mouthful of blood sprayed out as Kyosuke tasted the cold, chilling presence of death drawing near.

"So, this is what it feels like to be on the brink of death," he thought.

With a bitter smile, he forced himself to focus. His right Mangekyō Sharingan flared to life, radiating a brilliant light.

"Reverse!"

In an instant, everything around him seemed to freeze in place.

Then, as if rewinding a pre-recorded sequence, time began to reverse moment by moment.

The cracked earth mended itself, trembling leaves returned to the branches they had fallen from, and even the katana flew back into Tajima's hand.

Naturally, all effects caused by the Katana vanished along with the reversal of time.

Touching his now-unscathed abdomen, Kyosuke stood up with a smile, his gaze landing on the clan leader, whose face was now ashen with despair.

"What were you lecturing me about just now?"

"Cough, cough!" Tajima coughed violently, unable to form a complete sentence in his panic.

His eyes, filled with disbelief, stared at the boy, unable to comprehend how his carefully planned killing blow had been so effortlessly undone.

Seeing Kyosuke ready to strike, Tajima, whose chakra reserves were already depleted, couldn't help but plead, "Is there truly no room for negotiation? After all, I am the father of Madara and Izuna."

"True," Kyosuke replied, seemingly moved. However, his next words nearly made Tajima cough up blood. "At worst, when I attend your funeral, I'll just give you more money in condolences."

In the world of Naruto, just as in his previous life, it was customary to give gifts at such events. During Naruto and Hinata's wedding, even Konohamaru had joked about Iruka's modest contribution.

Given his relationship with the two brothers, ten large bills in the condolence envelope should suffice, right?

While Kyosuke pondered the matter of funeral gifts, the supposed star of the funeral, Uchiha Tajima, was less than thrilled about the idea of hosting such a banquet.

Gathering what little chakra he had left, Tajima let out a furious roar and charged at the boy.

Yet before he could reach him, Susanoo's fist sent him flying with a single, devastating punch.

Without sufficient chakra to support him, Tajima's once-proud kenjutsu was now reduced to mere shadows of its former glory.

As for his remaining Sharingan, the truth was simple: activating Izanagi required a significant amount of chakra as well.

Truly, the tables had turned, and now it was his turn to experience the despair of being cornered with no way out.

Realizing Kyosuke had no intention of sparing him, Tajima saw no point in words. Summoning his last reserves of strength, he slashed wildly at his enemy with his blade.

But Kyosuke had no intention of giving him another chance.

He raised his hand and threw a kunai, moving with the blade as it flew. When he reappeared, a fatal wound had already been cut across Tajima's neck.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, and thus, a formidable figure of his era met his end.

Bending down to retrieve the fallen kunai, Kyosuke murmured softly, "Do you know why you lost? It's because you weren't evil enough."

[System Notification: Successfully killed Uchiha Tajima. Gained 32,000 points.]

Reaching into his robes, Kyosuke took out tools prepared by Secret Shinobi No. 1 and quickly staged the scene, making it look as though the Tsukigakure Clan had been behind the attack.

After carefully inspecting the surroundings, Kyosuke nodded in satisfaction, then donned his disguise once more and in a flash, he vanished from the spot.

"Thirty thousand points... I'm not far from exchanging for the Intermediate Sage Body."

The Intermediate Sage Body meant an even more terrifying amount of chakra and a significant boost to physical strength.

Non-lethal injuries could also heal at a much faster rate, though not at the terrifying level of "self-healing without seals."

His vitality would be enhanced, and the body would provide a strong nourishment for the Mangekyō Sharingan, slowly increasing the potential of the eyes.

In terms of effect, it could be compared to Naruto two years later. Even without the Tailed Beasts, the amount of chakra in his body would be enough to astonish anyone. [P.s: I don't know what "two years later" means, so you can just ignore it]

Kyosuke even suspected that the Intermediate Sage Body might have the ability to continue evolving the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
