Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara

Read 20+ Chapter's Ahead in Patreon

The moment Uchiha Kochou saw the black portal materialize, her heart leaped with joy. Could it be that Kyōsuke had returned?

However, as the figure who emerged was revealed to be a young monk clad in white robes, her elation swiftly turned into a surge of intense killing intent.

This man was unworthy of living—if for nothing else, then for the deep disappointment he had caused her.

More importantly, she could not afford to expose her connection to the Hyūga clan head.

In an instant, she was behind the monk. Activating her Mangekyō Sharingan, Kochou intended to strike first and rob him of his luck.

Setting aside her anger, she knew that anyone capable of wielding such an unknown space-time ninjutsu was no ordinary opponent.

Stripping him of his fortune would add a layer of protection for them both. Even if she failed, the interference of destiny would ensure the enemy could not land a fatal blow.

"Got you!" Kochou thought, her hand was just about to touch her target. But in the blink of an eye, several black rods, imbued with Yin-Yang Release, pierced through her body.

Despite the formidable perceptive abilities of her Mangekyō Sharingan, Kochou had failed to sense any sign of the enemy's attack.

"This power... it belongs to him..." she muttered, feeling her chakra begin to destabilize. She staggered back a few steps, barely managing to steady herself against a table, avoiding complete collapse.

The famed Valkyrie, who had risen to prominence in recent years, couldn't even withstand a single move from this young monk.

If word of this spread, it would undoubtedly shock the world.

"Damn it." Hyūga Yayoi's expression darkened, her pale blue eyes glowing faintly with an otherworldly light.

"Oh, so this is the fabled Tenseigan," the young monk remarked, a curious glint in his eye.

From the moment he appeared, the young monk exuded an air of unshakable composure. Even in the face of two powerful dōjutsu users, he showed no sign of retreating.

The pressure he emanated was terrifying—an intensity unlike anything Yayoi had ever encountered. It surpassed even Tenjin and Kyōsuke.

I have to end this quickly, she thought. With that resolve, she unleashed a powerful gravitational force that engulfed the monk.

Universal Pull!

At the same time, Yayoi assumed the classic stance of the Gentle Fist. If she couldn't discern his attacks, she would strike everything within her range.

Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!

"Ha!" she shouted softly, releasing a devastating vacuum shockwave that enveloped the enemy in an instant.

But instead of relief, Yayoi's face fell in disbelief.

A fraction of a second before her blow landed, she saw the monk vanish into thin air.

Flying Thunder God?!

Her first thought was of Kyōsuke's space-time ninjutsu. Only a technique of that caliber could explain the monk's sudden disappearance.

"No, the technique I use is not the Flying Thunder God," came the monk's voice, startling her. He was so close now that his words seemed to come from right beside her.

Alarmed, Yayoi instinctively activated Rotation, preparing to repel the fatal strike she expected.

But to her surprise, the young monk did not attack. Instead, he began to explain the source of his power.

"This technique is called Sukunahikona, a dōjutsu I gained after consuming a certain fruit."

At this revelation, both women involuntarily turned their attention to the monk's eyes.

His right eye gleamed a brilliant gold, with eight triangular patterns surrounding the pupil.

The sight was both dazzling and unnerving, filling anyone who looked upon it with an instinctive sense of dread.

As for his left eye, it was none other than a Byakugan—a dōjutsu unique to the Hyūga clan.

"Curious about this one, are you?" the monk asked, gently stroking his left eye. His willingness to explain everything made him seem strangely approachable. "The Byakugan is a mark of my Ōtsutsuki lineage. No need to be surprised; I've never harmed any member of the Hyūga clan."

"Regrettably, the fruit I consumed was incomplete. Otherwise, the Byakugan would have been replaced by a new dōjutsu entirely."

Despite his elegant demeanor and courteous behavior, the two women—far from ordinary themselves—could sense the chilling indifference lurking beneath his facade.

It felt as though he were merely playing the role of a gentleman, concealing something far darker.

As for why he chose to act this way, it likely had something to do with his apparent willingness to answer any question.

"What exactly is this Sukunahikona?" Kochou interjects, her voice cutting through the tension, eager to probe further into the enemy's abilities.

The monk cast a cold glance at her. His golden right eye shimmered, and in an instant, the black rods restraining her vanished.

"My ability is simple," he replied, his voice calm and detached. "It allows me to shrink myself—or any non-living object—at will."

"Earlier, I didn't use a space-time technique. I merely shrank myself to the point where I could slip through your attacks." The young monk—no, Jigen—explained calmly.

Unlike the elusive Black Zetsu, Jigen's intelligence was rooted in the underground world.

He had spent considerable effort confirming Hyūga Yayoi's existence, knowing she held the power to assist him in creating a clone capable of serving as his vessel.

That was why Jigen had come in person.

When his gaze shifted to Kochou, who was clearly itching to strike again, Jigen simply shook his head. At the next moment, she collapsed silently to the ground.

"Don't worry, she's not dead," Jigen reassured Yayoi, before stating his request. "Help me accomplish one thing, and I'll open a pathway connecting to the moon."

"Don't you want Uchiha Kyōsuke to return?" he added, his offer dangling like a tempting, yet dangerous, proposition.

To prove his capabilities, Jigen wasted no time. He conjured a spatial portal between them, gesturing for Yayoi to follow as he stepped through first.

Taking a deep breath, Yayoi whispered softly to herself, "No matter what, I must bring you back."

With that, she stepped through the portal after him.

When she emerged, she was momentarily speechless at the sight before her—endless desert sands stretching as far as the eye could see.

Just seconds ago, she had been in the eastern region of the Land of Fire. Now, in the blink of an eye, she found herself standing in the Land of Wind.

Such a level of space-time ninjutsu...

Jigen remained silent, merely opening another portal. This time, they arrived in the Land of Lightning.

In mere minutes, Yayoi had crossed the entirety of the ninja world—through the Land of Earth, the Land of Water, the Land of Rivers, and even the Land of Whirlpools.

Finally, Jigen raised a hand, and with a single wave, he conjured a massive portal leading directly to the moon.

Through it, Yayoi caught a glimpse of a group of Uchiha clansmen, working busily on some unknown task.

Swoosh!

The portal snapped shut. From beginning to end, the young monk had remained silent, leaving her to draw her own conclusions.

This man was no fool. He trusted that she would make the "right" choice.

And if she didn't, he would "assist" her in doing so—whether through the annihilation of the Hyūga clan or by other, more brutal means.

For centuries, Jigen had awaited the right vessel.

Had he been in his prime, many would have sufficed. But after surviving for a thousand years in a weakened state, only a specially crafted body could sustain his reincarnation.

The thought of the woman who had caused him endless suffering ignited a deep, smoldering rage within him.

He swore that once he regained his full strength, the first thing he would do was ascend to the moon and settle the score with her once and for all.

"Fine, I'll help you," Yayoi finally agreed, her voice steady but laced with resolve. She nodded, her mind made up. She had resolved to aid the monk in achieving his goal.

Because, no matter the cost—even if it meant her life—she was determined to bring him back safely.

The consequences?

She didn't care. They were no longer part of her considerations.
