Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara-Chapter 314: Am I Qualified Now?

Far beyond the distant star domains, the Divine Tree's radiant light had already enveloped the entirety of the Shadow Star.

The Ten Tails possessed by Kyōsuke had been cultivated to an exceptionally advanced degree. Because of this, its transformation efficiency far surpassed that of an ordinary Divine Tree sapling.

Before long, most of the native inhabitants perished amidst their sweet dreams. At the very top of the Divine Tree, a crystal-clear, gleaming fruit began to take shape.

"What a beautiful thing," Kyōsuke murmured with an inexplicable sense of sentiment.

The birth of a Chakra Fruit always came at the cost of countless lives.

And yet, born from blood and sacrifice, it held within it the purest essence of life itself.

It was, undeniably, a cruel form of irony.

Originally, Kyōsuke had intended to continue waiting a bit longer, allowing the native inhabitants of Shadow Star a few more moments in their blissful dreams.

However, when a strange fragment of memory suddenly surfaced in his mind, his plan was immediately overturned by his own hand.

"So, in the end, the Ōtsutsuki still arrived first," Kyōsuke said with a shake of his head. He brought his hands together before his chest and formed a seal.

In an instant, the divine tree's transformation process accelerated beyond measure. The chakra fruit began to grow and mature at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He was well aware of the destructive power of the Star-destroying Cannon built on the Moon. No one understood its strength better than he did.

And yet, despite that overwhelming force, it had failed to annihilate the enemy in a single blow. That fact alone revealed just how unfathomably powerful the enemy truly was.

With the lunar base rendered effectively useless, his only remaining option was to rely on brute force in the hopes of driving the enemy away.

Until he could return, the fate of the Earth would rest entirely in the hands of Madara and Yayoi.

Before long, the brilliant fruit had taken its final form. Apart from Kyosuke and the Ten Tails, the entire planet had been completely drained of all traces of life.

Even the Shadow Star beneath his feet had lost its former radiance, now resembling a dead and lifeless world.

"You really don't even spare other people's planets, do you?" Kyōsuke chuckled as he withdrew the Ten Tails into his body. He then plucked the fruit and took a small bite.

"Apple flavor. Crisp and crunchy."

As the seething chakra surged within his body like boiling water, Kyōsuke devoured the rest of the fruit in just a few bites. He prepared himself to welcome the next stage of evolution into a higher form of life.

Meanwhile, on Earth, in the Hidden Leaf Village.

BOOOOOOMM!!!

A deafening explosion rang out.

Collapsed buildings and the sounds of frightened cries painted a clear picture of the intense and chaotic battle unfolding.

On the ground, Uchiha Haruto struggled to rise, but his body was far too battered to even manage the simplest of movements.

He had lost. Utterly and completely.

His Kyōdō (Mirror Unity) technique, which mirrored the source of his opponent's power, had indeed allowed him to close the gap between their strengths.

Unfortunately, even when he pushed his powers to the very limit and sacrificed everything, he had only managed to reach the upper level of the Six Paths.

With his current ocular powers, there remained an insurmountable gulf between the Six Paths level and the divine might of a being at the level of Divine Flame.

Thus, his defeat was inevitable.

And yet, before collapsing, Uchiha Haruto used every last ounce of his strength. He unleashed the power of reversed causality, landing a grievous blow upon the enemy.

The enemy's heart, brain, and all vital internal organs had been affected by Haruto's power.

Even if the enemy recovered instantly, Haruto could still feel the sharp drop in their chakra afterward.

"Heh... So much for immortality. Looks like even that isn't absolute," Haruto laughed, genuinely pleased.

"Papa, are you okay~?" A trembling little voice called out nearby.

Little Kaoru was absolutely terrified.

The girl blamed herself for her father's dreadful condition, thinking it was because she had acted too playfully.

If she hadn't approached that uncle with the long hair to chat, perhaps none of this would have happened.

"I won't be naughty anymore. I promise..."

Eri, feeling both heartache and amusement, hugged her daughter tightly. She hadn't expected that her husband getting injured would actually make their daughter grow up a little in such a short time.

Was this an unexpected silver lining?

"If he ended up seriously injured like this every day, our daughter would definitely become a well-behaved and sensible child in the future," Eri thought to herself, though she quickly realized how dangerous that idea was.

Elsewhere, the forces of Konoha had regrouped and begun their counteroffensive against the most formidable enemy they had ever faced.

Blaze Release: Susanoo Kagutsuchi!

Izuna, controlling his fully formed Susanoo, fired arrow after arrow, each one possessing world-shattering power.

"You bastard, take this slash from me!"

"I'm joining in too!"

Kochou and Nagisa, their Susanoo avatars, one pink and the other white, stood proudly in the sky, blocking any possibility of the enemy's retreat.

Of course, all three of them understood deep down that even a complete-body Susanoo was no match for an opponent on the level of the Six Paths. To confront a Divine Flame class enforcer from the Law Enforcement Division with such force was nothing less than absurd.

They were not there to defeat the enemy. What they truly aimed for was to buy time for Uchiha Madara, who stood not far behind them.

Limbo: Border Jail!

Having inherited Indra's complete legacy, Madara had now become an unprecedented figure in Uchiha history, the likes of which had never been seen before.

Unlike Kyōsuke, who favored flashy and extravagant abilities, Madara was a man who placed greater importance on the development of his bloodline's pure power.

From the Sharingan, to the Mangekyō, to the Eternal Mangekyō, the Rinnegan, and eventually the Rinnegan with tomoe—his path of evolution had followed a rigorous and orthodox progression.

Having received the blessing of the Six Paths Yin Power, his original four Limbo shadows had evolved into eight. And upon absorbing the thousand years' worth of spiritual strength left by Indra, those eight had now become twelve in total.

They were not clones. These were not simple projections. Each one was a complete and flawless replication of his body. There were twelve in total, twelve full manifestations of himself.

It was terrifying to even imagine the kind of power that would erupt once all twelve of them converged into one.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Armand, unwilling to waste any more time dancing around with what he considered mere trash, made his move. With explosive and overwhelming force, he delivered one devastating blow after another, toppling the complete-body Susanoo warriors as if they were made of paper.

In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Izuna, Kochou, and Nagisa—all three powerful Uchiha shinobi—had been completely defeated.

"Hahahaha! Not bad. I must say, your desperate resistance was quite entertaining." Armand cracked his knuckles with a loud, satisfying pop. His voice was arrogant and unruly, and his entire demeanor made it clear that he didn't see the people before him as worthy opponents at all.

Perhaps, in his eyes, there was only one man in the distance who deserved a sliver of his attention.

As he slowly turned around, his vision was filled by a towering giant, more than a thousand meters in height.

After many years, the Ultimate Susanoo had once again descended upon the world.

At this very moment, Uchiha Madara stood at the pinnacle of power. He possessed the Sage Body, awakened the Rinnegan with tomoe, absorbed the Yin Power of the Sage of Six Paths, and inherited the thousand-year-old will and spiritual force of Indra.

In terms of sheer strength, he now far surpassed the twin brothers of the Sage lineage who had once stood against their own mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

Those two had fought side by side and managed to seal a Divine Flame-level being.

So what about Madara?

He wasn't just aiming for victory.

No. That level of ambition was beneath him.

He would not settle for something so small.

"Well danced," Madara said softly, offering a mild word of praise as he looked toward the three who had fallen. From afar, Haruto couldn't help but be stirred with excitement.

After all, from the time he was young, this was the man he had admired most.

That effortlessly cool demeanor—his father could never pull it off.

Looking down upon the puny enemy below, Madara's expression remained calm and composed. "Let us change the battlefield," he said, his voice as steady as iron.

"Hah?" Armand stuck out his pinky finger and scratched his ear lazily, a scowl of irritation on his face. "You're really full of yourself, huh? You think you're qualified to ask me to go anywhere?"

But before he could even finish the sentence, the Ultimate Susanoo raised its massive blade.

With a single swing, it unleashed a terrifying wave of power that cleaved through the sky itself, parting the dense clouds like a curtain being drawn open.

The entire sky above Earth was split into two halves.

Caught completely unprepared, Armand stood no chance of avoiding the strike.

"Am I qualified now?"

The moment he heard Madara's voice again, the two of them had already reappeared a thousand kilometers away from the Hidden Leaf Village.

That one swing from the Ultimate Susanoo had sent him flying across an entire continent.
