Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara

Higurashi Town's remote location made it an ideal breeding ground for all kinds of crime.

The shop assistant was actually a spy cultivated by a group of thieves, tasked with identifying suitable "prey."

At first glance, Kyosuke seemed like an ordinary traveler, failing to capture the assistant's attention.

However, one seemingly "inadvertent" action of his instantly exposed his wealthy status.

If it weren't for the assistant's sharp eyes, they might have missed this lucrative target entirely.

"Damn, I almost let him fool me."

Using the excuse of a bathroom break, the assistant discreetly released a carrier pigeon.

Before long, the thieves' contact would appear in the town, and with him around, the young merchant wouldn't stand a chance.

"Heh, blame your own foolishness."

The assistant's sinister laughter blended into the bustling noise of the shop.

---

Outside, on the bustling street…

A seemingly inconspicuous roadside vendor watched the pigeon fly off, cursing under his breath.

Having been stationed there for several days, he was well aware of the assistant's shady dealings.

Murdering travelers and robbing their goods wasn't an issue for him. What annoyed him was how the assistant's reckless actions could potentially disrupt his own plans.

"Tonight, I'll observe the situation. If it doesn't interfere with my plans, I'll just get rid of this idiot quietly," the man muttered, squinting his eyes to conceal the murderous intent within.

This man was one of the four Chūnin accompanying Nara Tetsuhei.

His task was to monitor anyone approaching their trap, including Kyosuke, whom no one could escape his watchful eyes.

The assistant's little tricks hadn't gone unnoticed by him either.

Naturally, he also noticed the little boy action's.

Meanwhile, after dinner, Kyosuke found a random inn nearby.

Having no better options and seeing no action from the accomplice despite waiting for a long time, it became clear to him that the other side still needed time to prepare.

With a general understanding of the situation, he decided to rest in place, fully embodying the fearless demeanor of a naive youth.

By day, he wandered around harmlessly like an ordinary passerby.

By night, once the mask was on, he became untouchable and ruthless.

Once his subordinates returned with intelligence, tonight would be the perfect moment for them to act.

"The hunting game begins now," Kyosuke murmured with a sinister smile.

---

As night fell, the streets emptied, save for the occasional drunk stumbling out of taverns.

The ninjas who had disguised themselves during the day now gathered around the wooden house's and shops, lying in wait for their enemies.

Suddenly, a cry for help echoed from the end of the street.

"Help me!"

Immediately, the seven ninjas tensed up, alert and ready.

"It's that boy from earlier," one of them said while signaling discreetly.

Safe.

The boy, noticing a drunken man in the corner, ran toward him like he had found salvation.

At that moment, the disguised Chūnin felt the urge to curse.

The commotion could draw the enemy's attention, and if exposed, it might ruin their entire plan.

Determined not to blow his cover, the Chūnin, pretending to be a drunkard, decided to act unconscious.

After all, no one would pay attention to a fallen, drunken middle-aged man.

But then, a sudden pain in his chest stunned him. Before he could react, his life had already slipped away.

Feigning panic, Kyosuke—still pretending to be the fleeing boy—quickly ran off.

"There's a Jōnin nearby. The body won't stay hidden for long."

"At most, we have five seconds before the death of the Chūnin is discovered."

One second passed. Nara Tetsuhei, hidden in the building, noticed nothing unusual.

Two seconds passed. He frowned, puzzled as to why no signal had been sent.

By the third second, his expression turned serious.

"Enemy attack!" he shouted.

The moment his cry rang out, a fierce, roaring fire dragon engulfed the shop.

The blaze lit up the entire town, waking its sleeping residents.

"What's going on?!"

A Chūnin hiding in a nearby courtyard barely had time to react before the space around him distorted.

"Genjutsu?!"

He panicked, pouring all his chakra into breaking free.

But breaking free from the illusion of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan was no easy feat.

Seconds later, Uchiha Maya stepped out of the shadows, leaving behind a corpse whose eyes remained wide open in disbelief.

---

Elsewhere, seeing that the enemy had already detected them, Kyosuke swiftly shed his disguise.

With a few simple hand signs, the piercing chirping of Chidori drowned out the explosion's roar.

"Damn it!"

Nara Tetsuhei cursed, watching his shadows fail to catch up with the rapidly moving figure.

"What kind of technique is this?"

He couldn't understand how their meticulously laid ambush had been exposed so thoroughly.

Had the enemy's perception been that sharp, or had they known about the plan all along?

A sense of dread crept into his heart.

Low-ranking ninjas rarely had access to critical intelligence, but Jōnin couldn't fall into enemy hands.

Until now, the cooperation between the three clans had been flawless, giving the Uchiha no chance to exploit weaknesses.

But today, he had unknowingly stepped into the enemy's sights—all for the sake of that so-called "Demon-Faced Ashura."

At that moment, Nara Tetsuhei suddenly came to a realisation, but it was already too late to back out now.

[System Notification: You have killed an Akimichi Clan Chūnin. Points awarded: 350.]

The Akimichi, known for their formidable combat abilities, stood no chance against the Sharingan and Chidori combination.

Pulling his hand from the burning chest of his opponent, Kyosuke dodged the spray of blood and vanished.

---

"Damn it"

Yamanaka Rumiko cursed, frustrated by the enemy's alertness.

If she had been just a second faster, she could have taken control of the boy's body and captured the target.

Now, not only had she failed, but her position was compromised. Without hesitation, she burst through the wooden wall of her hiding spot.

Boom!

A fire dragon roared, instantly engulfing the area she had just vacated.

Seeing this, Akimichi Kanbei abandoned all pretense and unleashed his Partial Multi-Size Technique.

His colossal arm swung down like a titan's hammer, aiming to crush the enemy's hiding place.

Forced into the open, Uchiha Izumi revealed himself.

Facing three Jōnin and four elite Chūnin—a luxurious lineup—Kyousuke knew the battle would be intense.

Despite their numbers, two of their strongest had already fallen.

As Kyosuke prepared to issue orders, the familiar chirping of Chidori drew his attention.

This time, the technique wasn't Kyosuke's but Izumi's own, fueled by murderous intent.

To maximize his team's combat strength, he did not hesitate to teach this technique.

As a Chunin, Kyosuke could already use Chidori to instantly kill opponents of the same level.

So, if the user was Uchiha Izumi instead, how much stronger would the technique become?
