Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara

Read 20+ Chapter's Ahead in Patreon

Hyūga Tenjin had been defeated.

In truth, with his strength, he could have continued his battle against Kyōsuke. Even though Kyōsuke had activated his complete Sage Mode, defeating Tenjin in his current state was no easy feat.

The reason for Tenjin's defeat lay in his blind arrogance and overconfidence in the Truth-Seeking Orbs. Of course, Kyōsuke's meticulous scheming also played a significant role.

In shinobi battles, intelligence gathering is of the utmost importance.

Had Tenjin known in advance that Sage Arts could counter the Truth-Seeking Orbs, he would never have foolishly chosen to face them head-on.

Supporting his body with his remaining arm, Tenjin barely managed to lift his head. His gaze, directed at the young man before him, was filled with unwillingness and regret.

He hated—hated his enemy and hated himself even more.

Tenjin couldn't understand why Kyōsuke's power had surged so dramatically. Had he known this would happen, he would never have agreed to Black Zetsu's conditions.

At the same time, he hated his own inadequacies. If he had pushed his Tenseigan to its ultimate form, how could he have possibly lost to a mere fledgling?

"No matter," he thought. "The Hyūga Clan still has Yayoi."

"She will assist the child I've just brought into this world, and with her pair of Tenseigan capable of autonomous evolution, they will one day stand at the pinnacle of the Shinobi world."

"One day, the Land of Fire will belong to the Hyūga."

Feeling his life force rapidly slipping away, Tenjin steeled his resolve, made a ruthless decision, and raised his hand toward his own eyes.

No matter what, he could not allow the Tenseigan to fall into his enemy's hands—it would be tantamount to aiding his adversary.

If he had to part with them, it would be better to destroy these eyes with his own hand than let his foe do so.

Sensing Tenjin's intent, Kyōsuke dispelled his Perfect Susano'o and leisurely descended from the air.

"Do you still think the situation is under your control?"

"My spoils of war aren't something you can destroy at will."

Crack!

Amidst the pool of blood, a faint sound of breaking echoed, followed by the emergence of a small snake from the ground. It opened its jaws and bit down on Tenjin's neck.

The Curse Mark activated, and under the binding of black imprints, even blinking became an arduous task for Tenjin.

"You… you…"

Landing steadily on the ground, Kyōsuke rolled his eyes and said, "Stop with the stammering. You're a grown man; can't you see where this is headed?"

"I've defeated you. These Tenseigan eyes are my spoils of war. What you just did qualifies as destroying someone else's property."

Approaching the fallen man, Kyōsuke fell silent for a moment before asking, "Any last words?"

The fall of a hero carries an unspeakable melancholy.

In Kyōsuke's mind, Hyūga Tenjin had been an adversary even more formidable than Uchiha Tajima or Senju Butsuma.

Yayoi possessed both exceptional strength and unparalleled resolve, yet she had been utterly suppressed by Tenjin, to the point that she dared not make a single reckless move.

Had it not been for Hashirama's inexplicable surge in strength, there was a real chance the Hyūga could have waged a war of annihilation against the Senju.

Now that the victor had been decided, Kyōsuke chose to grant Tenjin a final moment of dignity.

"Last words?" Tenjin's spirit seemed to waver. As his strength waned, a montage of past memories flashed before his eyes.

After a long silence, he heaved a deep sigh and spoke softly:

"I've lived my life unrivaled, rarely meeting my match in the Shinobi world, only to fall at the height of my glory to your hands."

"Now, as death approaches, there is little left to cling to. However, I can offer you some information in exchange for ten years of peace for the Hyūga Clan. How about it?"

Hearing this, Kyōsuke pretended to consider for a moment before nodding in agreement.

With this man's death, the Hyūga would fall under Yayoi's leadership.

Without needing any reminders from Tenjin, Kyōsuke had no intention of targeting the Hyūga Clan further.

Seeing Kyōsuke's agreement, Tenjin smiled faintly, and it seemed as though his spirit was momentarily rejuvenated.

He then proceeded to detail Black Zetsu's plans, emphasizing the latter's scheme to sever the spatial passage.

As Kyōsuke's expression darkened, Tenjin shook his head and murmured, "If you act quickly… perhaps, you might still…"

[System Prompt: You have successfully killed Hyūga Tenjin. Earned 63,350 points.]

When Kyōsuke came back to his senses, the man before him had already breathed his last.

A once-dominant figure had fallen.

"Over sixty thousand points—a fitting reward for a super Kage-level powerhouse."

Retrieving a glass container from his ninja pouch, Kyōsuke carefully sealed the Tenseigan from Tenjin's corpse inside it.

With everything in order, Kyōsuke turned and left without a backward glance, heading toward the space passageway's barrier.

Amidst the scarred and battered earth, Hyūga Tenjin's body was gradually consumed by the encroaching sands and wind.

Soon, Kyōsuke arrived at the spatial passage left behind by Ōtsutsuki Hamura.

As it turned out, Tenjin had not deceived him. The passage had indeed been destroyed by some method employed by Black Zetsu.

"Damn it."

In that moment, the thrill of victory vanished entirely. Kyōsuke could not bear the thought of being trapped on the moon for the rest of his life.

The vast distance between the two celestial bodies was staggering. Even with his expertise in space-time ninjutsu, traversing the entirety of the Land of Fire was challenging enough, let alone crossing hundreds of thousands of kilometers of cosmic space.

After all, the Flying Thunder God Technique was not designed for long-distance travel.

Sitting alone in a cave, Kyōsuke furrowed his brow and began analyzing the destroyed spatial passage.

Hours passed, and by the time half a day had gone by, Kyōsuke was forced to admit that his talent in spatial ninjutsu was mediocre at best.

Forget repair—he couldn't even comprehend the principles behind Hamura's construction of the passage.

As for the Flying Thunder God Technique, even at its maximum level of 10, it was incapable of spanning the vast cosmic distance back to Earth.

"I'll have to consider other options."

Opening the system menu, Kyōsuke glanced at his current points:

[Points: 78,430.]

The amount wasn't much; a significant portion had been spent earlier to exchange for the One's Own Life Reincarnation Technique, leaving him far from the threshold of one hundred thousand points.

This meant Kyōsuke couldn't redeem abilities capable of long-distance spatial travel.

[Yomotsu Hirasaka (Underworld Slope Hill)

Level: SS.

Redemption Cost: 100,000 points.

"In less than an instant, appear at the gates of the Underworld!"]

This description perfectly encapsulated Yomotsu Hirasaka. Among the existing space-time ninjutsu, it ranked at the very top.

Whether for long-distance travel or combat support, its capabilities far exceeded the Flying Thunder God Technique.

When activated, it would open a black portal capable of instantaneously transporting the user from point A to point B.

The size of the portal could also be freely controlled. With a simple stretch of the hand, one could reach a distant enemy.

Aside from the "Amenominaka (Heavenly Governing Inside)" granted by Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan, Yomotsu Hirasaka was the most powerful space-time ability Kyōsuke knew of.

The problem was, he lacked enough points to redeem it.

Even worse, the strong members of the Tsukigakure Clan had already been eliminated, leaving no viable targets for earning more points.

What could he do—attack his own allies?

Redeeming the Ōtsutsuki's unique Karma Seal could also grant spatial abilities, but its exorbitant cost of 150,000 points made it an even more unattainable option.

"Forget it. I'll just have to take things one step at a time."
