Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara

Read 20+ Chapter's Ahead in Patreon

Soon after, news spread throughout the camp that the beheading mission had failed.

The young clan leader, Uchiha Madara, returned in disarray, and the clan leader, Tajima, whereabouts are unknown so far.

An uneasy atmosphere gradually spread across the camp.

Upon hearing the news, Hashirama and Kyosuke, despite the heavy scent of alcohol on them, hurriedly climbed out of bed and rushed to check on their friend.

"I'm fine," Madara shook his head. With his father absent, he, as the young clan leader, had to shoulder the responsibility.

Stepping out into the snow, Madara looked around in slight confusion. After a long silence, he suddenly asked in a low voice, "Kyosuke, no matter what happens, you'll support me, won't you?"

With a faint sigh, Kyosuke nodded without hesitation. "Of course."

After sending his younger brother, Izuna, back, Madara immediately set out with the clan members to search for his father's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, even with the help of the Hyūga clan ninjas, he could not find any trace of Tajima.

Having asked the Hyūga ninjas to continue the search, Uchiha Madara chose to return to the camp alone. He had a premonition that something had happened to his father.

If that were the case, he needed to return, for there would undoubtedly be those within the clan who would seize this opportunity to cause trouble.

"What exactly happened?!" From a distance, a group of people approached, exuding an aggressive aura.

Upon seeing them, Madara's eyes narrowed, recognizing the arrival of troublemakers.

One of them was Uchiha Kōji, a powerful elder of the clan, who held significant military influence.

As long as Tajima was around, things had been under control, but with the current situation, Kōji's ambitions were now clear.

He strode forward, scanning each of them with a disdainful look. "Where is Tajima? Don't tell me you abandoned the clan leader and ran back here alone."

"Father is missing. Elder Kōji, do you have any concerns?" Madara's gaze remained indifferent, and no one could tell what he was truly thinking.

"Missing?!" Uchiha Kōji's voice instantly rose several octaves. "At a time like this, when the Uchiha clan is at the brink of life and death, the clan leader is nowhere to be found?!"

Their quarrel gradually drew the attention of the other clan members.

Seizing the opportunity, Uchiha Kōji took advantage of his elder status to openly criticize the Uchiha brothers.

"When the clan leader is in danger, the first thing you should do is go out and search for him."

"No, from the very beginning, the beheading plan was a foolish idea."

"Now, look at this! The clan leader is gone, and who can take charge of the Uchiha clan's future?!"

Upon hearing this, Izuna, who had rushed over in a hurry, couldn't hold back and retorted sarcastically, "It seems, Elder Kōji, you're very eager to take charge."

"Hmph, apart from me, who else could shoulder this responsibility?" Uchiha Kōji stroked his beard, not forgetting to undermine Madara's authority.

He continued, "I don't understand how Tajima could have lost his mind and sent two young brats like you to carry out an assassination."

"Truly self-inflicted misfortune."

Before he could finish his words, a terrifying killing intent suddenly enveloped him.

Madara and Izuna stepped forward simultaneously, their Sharingan eyes fixed on Kōji, not hiding the murderous intent in their gazes.

"Watch your words," Madara's voice was low, his hand already gripping the hilt of his Katana at his waist. "Otherwise, I'll cut your tongue out today."

If it had been anyone else, they would have likely been frightened out of their wits by Uchiha Madara's presence.

However, Elder Kōji, a seasoned warrior who had crossed the blood-soaked path of battle, would never be intimidated by the killing intent of two young children.

"Hmph, arrogant brats," Kōji sneered, his commanding aura flaring. The overwhelming pressure of his status as a clan leader-level powerhouse made the onlookers stiffen.

However, the people before him seemed unaffected by his imposing presence.

Sensing his authority being challenged, Uchiha Kōji took a step forward, ready to discipline the young members of his clan.

At that moment, a loud commotion suddenly erupted at the entrance of the camp.

Shouts and cries filled the air, and the key words within them caused Madara and Izuna to change their expressions drastically.

Without a second thought about dealing with Uchiha Kōji, Madara rushed toward the entrance of the camp with his brother.

There, they found their father's lifeless body, no longer making a sound.

"Big Brother," Tobirama tugged at his elder brother's sleeve. As outsiders, it was clear they were not supposed to be here.

Beside them, Hashirama glanced at his best friend with concern, knowing that Madara's heart must be in torment.

But as his younger brother had pointed out, the Uchiha clan was on the brink of a power struggle. Even the Hyūga clan had stayed out of sight at this crucial moment.

Sighing, Hashirama glanced at Kyosuke's silent back, then shook his head and returned to their camp with his younger brother.

"Clan leader!!!" Some of Tajima's loyal subordinates shouted in anguish.

"How could this happen? What exactly happened?!" Others were still unclear about the details of the beheading mission.

For the sake of keeping the plan secret, Tajima had told few people about it before leaving.

Many in the clan still didn't understand how their clan leader could have met such a tragic end.

Perhaps sensing an opportunity, Uchiha Kōji stepped forward and began to embellish the details of the incident.

"..."

"Here's what happened."

"I understand how you feel, but someone must be held responsible for the clan leader's death."

It was clear that Uchiha Kōji had already decided to show his true colors.

Now that the news of Tajima's death was confirmed, the election for the new clan leader would soon begin.

If he didn't act first, others would soon follow.

For example, Uchiha Rei from the southern army, Uchiha Hiroki from the west, and so on.

But first, Uchiha Kōji needed to tarnish the reputation of the so-called young clan leader.

Even if the position was hereditary, the ability of the successor mattered.

Without a doubt, Uchiha Madara was an exceptional candidate—one of a rare caliber.

For that very reason, Uchiha Kōji had to suppress him, not allowing this young man any chance to rise.

"And Izuna, that boy, and Kyosuke... they both need to be watched closely." Uchiha Kōji thought to himself, his gaze slowly shifting toward Kyosuke.

Kyosuke, noticing the warning in Kōji's eyes, silently mouthed a response without making a sound.

"What… what is he saying?!" For a moment, Uchiha Kōji doubted his own eyes.

Ignoring the elder whose fate was sealed, Kyosuke turned his attention to the two brothers who remained silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Madara slowly crouched down and began to carefully arrange his father's appearance.

"Izuna, go and stay with Father," Madara's voice was cold, as though suppressing something deep inside.

"Big Brother…"

"Go now!"

Holding back the pain in his eyes, Izuna lowered his head and followed the clan members back to the camp.

Faintly, Kyosuke thought he saw something change in Izuna's eyes.

Before he could observe further, Madara, who had been facing away from everyone, suddenly turned around.

Within his eyes, three black lines were interwoven, forming hollow black rings at each intersection.

Mangekyō Sharingan… Activate!
