Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara

A year ago, the news of Kyosuke's death shocked many people.

Among the mourners, the greatest impact was undoubtedly felt by his invincible corps.

This corps, with a roster nearing two hundred members, had most of its members mastering the Chidori technique, with three jōnin-level ninja boasting extraordinary strength.

Such a force was coveted not only by clan leader Tajima but also by Uchiha Rei, who resided far to the south.

It's easy to imagine the immense pressure placed on Izumi and Maya, the deputy commanders, during this time.

Uchiha Rei, to maintain his image before his former subordinates, attempted a gradual approach, intending to dismantle the corps from within through persuasion and bribery.

Uchiha Tajima, on the other hand, abandoned all pretense, going so far as to almost threaten Maya with a blade to force her to submit.

---

Uchiha Izumi, being naturally aloof and inarticulate, often left Maya to manage most affairs whenever Kyosuke was away.

Upon hearing the news of Kyosuke's death, the corps experienced several small-scale upheavals.

In the face of temptations of power and wealth, not everyone possessed the resolve to refuse.

Especially since, without Kyosuke, the future of the corps was uncertain.

Before long, some clan members began using various excuses to leave the corps, severing ties with Kyosuke's faction entirely.

After several rounds of departures, the team dwindled to 135 members, with most defectors joining the clan leader's camp.

Having tasted the benefits, Uchiha Tajima decided to take it further, issuing an order to dissolve Kyosuke's corps entirely, intending to absorb it fully.

However, Tajima underestimated Kyosuke's influence.

Neither Power nor wealth could sway them—how could a mere order compel the remaining 135 loyalists to submit?

When faced with disbandment and reassignment, the entire corps resisted to the end, vowing never to comply with Tajima's demands.

---

In the first month, Tajima visited the corps daily, offering warm greetings. He treated its members with more affection than his own two sons.

In the second month, Tajima shifted his strategy to target their families.

Families of the corps members frequently received various resources, accompanied by promises extolling the benefits of aligning with the clan leader.

By the third month, Tajima's patience had worn thin.

He couldn't fathom why this group was so stubborn. It's just a dead man—why such unwavering loyalty?

After all, loyalty didn't fill bellies.

What Tajima failed to grasp was the reason behind Kyosuke's unique influence.

In any world, the concept of "disciples surpassing their masters" often led to hesitation in sharing power. This made Kyosuke's actions stand out even more.

Everyone knew how valuable Chidori was as a ninjutsu.

When Kyosuke offered to teach it freely, his subordinates couldn't believe their ears.

It was akin to joining a company as a low-level employee, only for the boss to gift you shares in a publicly traded company.

Such generosity inspired unwavering gratitude.

For the remaining members, their sentiment was simple:

"The commander may be gone, but as long as we remain, the corps lives on."

Neither threats nor temptations could shake the ironclad resolve of the 135 members.

---

Seeing his schemes fail, Tajima resorted to sending Kyosuke's corps to the front lines.

In the western border of the Land of Fire, clans like the Fūma, Hatake, and Inuzuka were growing restless, frequently skirmishing with the Uchiha.

Tajima's intent was clear: "You think you're strong? Prove it on the battlefield."

As the deputy leader, Maya couldn't outright refuse a war order—doing so would be considered treason.

Reluctantly, she led the corps to the western battlefield, engaging in a series of deadly battles with various clans.

Without Kyosuke's leadership, the corps lost much of its former prestige.

After half a year of warfare, the corps had dwindled to just 105 members—30 comrades had fallen on the battlefield.

Though Maya earned the title Bloodstained Rose and their team was hailed as the strongest hundred-man corps, those accolades couldn't bring back their lost comrades.

Frustrated that his plans hadn't succeeded, Tajima set his sights on using Uchiha Kaijun to gain control of Kyosuke's corps.

Yes, the very same cousin who had once plotted to harm Kyosuke.

After mastering the full version of Chidori from a traitor, awakening the three-tomoe Sharingan fueled by hatred, and receiving two years of extensive training from a powerful mentor, Kaijun had grown formidable.

While he couldn't compare to the legendary Uchiha trio, his strength far surpassed that of most ninjas his age.

---

True to the Uchiha way of keeping dirty laundry hidden, only Izumi and Maya knew the true nature of Kaijun's relationship with Kyosuke.

Thus, Kaijun indeed had an opportunity to join the corps as Kyosuke's cousin, provided the two deputy commanders approved.

However, Maya knew exactly what kind of person Kaijun was.

Upon learning of his intent to join, she outright rejected him, citing his lack of strength.

To her dismay, this played right into Kaijun's hands.

Seizing on her words, he publicly asked whether defeating the two of them would earn him the right to join the corps.

Kaijun didn't forget to subtly imply their questionable backgrounds, reminding everyone that they had once been subordinates raised by Madara. In other words, we're all in the same boat.

Cornered, Maya agreed to Kaijun's challenge.

---

In their first match, Maya used her superior jōnin-level skills and genjutsu to defeat Kaijun easily.

Before leaving, she told him they would fight again the next day.

Returning to Tajima, Kaijun underwent intensive training targeting his weaknesses, focusing on genjutsu resistance, enhancing his cell activation with lightning-style techniques, and learning exclusive fire-style jutsu.

Thanks to his innate talent and the Sharingan's memory retention, Kaijun's strength soared.

By the time of their second duel two months later, the 15-year-old Kaijun narrowly defeated the Bloodstained Rose.

But the pinnacle remained: Uchiha Izumi, the corps' true second-in-command and a peak jōnin.

A few days later, Kaijun challenged Izumi but was thoroughly defeated. The gap between their levels was insurmountable.

Frustrated, Tajima left Kaijun with a cryptic remark:

"If you can't win within six months, Uchiha Kochou will marry Madara."

The mere mention of Kochou nearly caused Kaijun to erupt.

Realizing Kaijun's deep love for her, Tajima played his final card: a mental lock forged from love and hatred.

Kaijun began a grueling six-month training regimen, pushing himself to the brink of death daily.

Fueled by hatred for Kyosuke and love for Kochou, his growth defied all expectations.

When Kaijun reemerged, drenched in bloodlust, no one recognized the man he had become.

Facing Izumi again, Kaijun declared, "One match to decide it all. If I lose, I'll disappear from your lives forever."

Izumi agreed without hesitation, and the two clashed in an intense battle.

The fight was ferocious. Izumi's experience countered Kaijun's sheer determination. Both unleashed Chidori in a high-speed, long-range collision.

Though Izumi maintained a chakra advantage, a surprising twist occurred.

"Kaijun, you can do it!" Kochou's voice pierced the tension.

Kaijun's veins bulged, and his Sharingan erupted with rage.

With a deafening roar, he overwhelmed Izumi, standing victorious by sheer willpower.

But before Kaijun could savor his triumph, someone burst in, shouting:

"Everyone! Big news—Commander Kyosuke isn't dead!"

Kaijun's triumphant shout abruptly ceased.
