"I've won!!!"
Cough! Cough!
Kaijun bent over, coughing up two mouthfuls of blood, but the hand gripping the Chidori Sharp Spear remained steady as a rock.
From the moment his younger cousin rose to prominence—
No, from the day he awakened the Sharingan at the mere age of seven—Kaijun had lived in constant fear and anxiety.
Over the years, Uchiha Kaijun had endured all sorts of attacks.
Such as humiliating words, sarcastic remarks, and outright verbal abuse; some even dared to insult him to his face.
Even in his dreams, he longed to escape such a miserable life and build a fortress that could shield him from all harm.
Thus, when his Mangekyō Sharingan awakened, it granted him not only eyes that could glimpse into the future but he also gained the ability to withstand any energy-based attacks..
To be precise, Uchiha Kaijun could absorb energy-based attacks, store them, and then release them selectively.
If not for his lack of proficiency during the first use, the Hundred Water Dragon Fang Barrage just now wouldn't have left a scratch on him.
"I finally beat you!"
"You're done for, Kyosuke!!!"
He laughed maniacally.
But alas, his triumphant laughter didn't last long.
As he got up, Kaijun suddenly realized that his attack didn't seem to have penetrated his opponent at all.
"Apologies, I didn't mean to interrupt your moment of joy," Kyosuke waved his hand and said apologetically. "Feel free to ignore me. Let's wait until you're done laughing before we continue the fight."
Opposite him, Kaijun's face darkened, unwilling to entertain Kyosuke's taunts any further.
The Chidori Sharp Spear, which seemed to have landed a fatal blow, had actually stopped mere centimeters away from Kyosuke's heart.
No matter how much force Kaijun exerted, he couldn't make it advance even a millimeter.
It was as if the tip of his blade was separated from its target by an infinite, insurmountable galaxy.
"Not laughing anymore?" Kyosuke's right eye gleamed, and the Chidori Sharp Spear, now charged with a massive amount of chakra, disintegrated like falling snowflakes.
In the end, all that remained were faint electric sparks flickering at the tip of his fingertips.
"He absorbed my ninjutsu?!"
"No, this feels more like... it returned to its initial stage, without any form."
In a daze, Kaijun began to grasp the nature of Kyousuke's ocular power. "What a troublesome ability…"
"Hmm?" At this moment, he suddenly heard Kyosuke's mocking voice. "How strange, where did my sister-in-law's body go?"
Hearing those words, Kaijun couldn't help but turn his head, despite knowing full well the malice behind them.
What he saw confirmed his fears—Kochou's body had indeed disappeared.
"Uchiha Kyosuke!!!" Kaijun roared, the truth hitting him like a thunderclap. This was undoubtedly Kyosuke's doing.
Even in death, his wife had become a tool for Kyosuke to torment him.
No matter what, even if he had to die today, he would drag Kyosuke down to hell with him.
The overwhelming hatred swelling in his chest caused Uchiha Kaijun's eyes to slowly undergo a new transformation.
Under Kyosuke's watchful, smiling gaze, a dark brown ribcage suddenly materialized around Kaijun's body.
"Good, keep growing stronger."
"The more hatred you harbor, the purer your ocular power will become."
Staring at the man gasping for breath in front of him, Kyosuke continued to rub salt into the wound:
"Incredible—awakening the third stage of your power upon unlocking the Mangekyō Sharingan for the first time."
"So, this is the strength born of killing your own wife? Very well, Uchiha Kaijun, I acknowledge you."
Each word stabbed into Kaijun's heart like a blade, leaving him trembling uncontrollably.
Kyosuke's words weren't just taunts; they were weapons, piercing Kaijun's very soul.
Back when Kyousuke was recovering in Ryūchi Cave, Tajima and Kaijun had conspired together to claim control over his entire army.
When their attempts at persuasion failed, they began assigning them increasingly difficult missions, leading to the deaths and injuries of dozens of Kaijun's loyal subordinates.
Kyosuke had said long ago that blood debts must be repaid with blood.
Today, not only would he kill, but he would also shatter Kaijun's very spirit.
A dark golden Susanoo materialized, easily blocking the attack from the skeletal arm.
Just as he prepared to continue his assault, the ground beneath Kaijun suddenly cracked open, and two hands shot up, firmly gripping his feet.
Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!
"Do you know? Before reaching the fourth stage, the ground beneath our feet will always be our most fatal weakness."
At the same time, Kyosuke understood something: while maintaining the Susanoo, Kaijun would not be able to use his Precognition abilities.
BOOM!
With the earth shattering, Kaijun managed to free himself from the ground.
"Childish trick." Shaking off the dirt from his body, Kaijun was puzzled. Why hadn't his opponent taken the opportunity to launch an attack?
Was it because Kyōsuke feared his abilities?
"Sigh." Suddenly, a sigh came from the opposite side.
Before Kaijun could process what was happening, the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps reached his ears.
He cautiously turned his head, only to drop the kunai in his hand the very next second.
The person standing behind him was none other than his wife, who he had believed was long dead—Uchiha Kochou.
"You... you…"
In that moment, Kaijun could not help but lose focus.
By the time he realized what had happened, Kyosuke had already used the coordinates buried beneath the ground to teleport right next to him.
Kyōsuke's right eye activated his ocular technique, "Reversal," and the dark brown Susanoo that had just manifested dissolved in an instant and the black rod created by Yin-Yang Release easily pierced Kaijun's body.
"Such a shame, I was hoping to play a little longer," Kyōsuke sighed with mock regret, casually waving his hand as he impaled all of Kaijun's limbs with the black rods.
The black rods had the ability to block chakra pathways, preventing chakra from condensing. Without the ability to retaliate, Kaijun couldn't even maintain his Sharingan any longer.
He knew it—he had lost.
But those matters no longer mattered.
"Run! Run, he won't spare you!" Tears streamed from Kaijun's eyes as he shouted desperately at his wife. "Run, leave the clan, leave the Land of Fire, and never let him find you."
As for how his wife came back to life, he dared not think about it. At that moment, he couldn't even bring himself to face the reality before him.
"That's not going to happen," Uchiha Kochou said, her eyes also wet with tears.
But she didn't hesitate for a moment. Striding forward, she kneeled before Kyosuke and spoke in a steady voice, "The Third Secret Ninja reporting for duty."
"Get up," Kyosuke said, extending a hand to help her rise. His gaze held a trace of amusement as he spoke softly, "You've worked hard these years."
"As agreed, it's time for you to carry out the final steps."
"Yes, my lord." Without a second's hesitation, Uchiha Kochou turned and knelt in front of her husband.
At this moment, her eyes were somewhat unfocused, beads of sweat gathering on her forehead. It was clear that she was struggling with intense inner turmoil.
Yet, her hands remained steady, just as they had always been. Under Kaijun's disbelieving gaze, she slowly and deliberately removed his eyes from his face.
Taking the prepared container, she carefully stored the eyes and handed them over to Kyosuke.
"Hahahahaha!"
Behind them, Kaijun's desperate laughter echoed.
Finally, the tears in Kochou's eyes fell uncontrollably.
Under Kyōsuke's watchful eyes, Kochou collapsed to the ground, her body a lifeless shell as she gazed at her beloved husband, her face a mask of sorrow.
"I'm Sorry…"
"Hahahaha!" Unfortunately, her apology was met with nothing but maniacal laughter.
Indeed, at this moment, Uchiha Kaijun, unable to hide his pain, seemed to have nothing left but laughter as a shield for his suffering.
"It's up to you now." Kyosuke put away the glass container and turned around, walking toward the distant forest.
Kochou was his most outstanding secret ninja, and Kyosuke believed she could overcome the most important hurdle in her life.
If she couldn't overcome it, then…
