Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara

In the depths of the forest, a team of shinobi hurriedly made their way to the site of the incident.

It had been nearly two hours since Uchiha Kochou had been attacked.

If she were safe and sound, there should have been some news from her by now.

"She'll be fine. Don't overthink it." Uchiha Kaijun kept trying to reassure himself, though the unease in his heart grew stronger with each passing moment.

The shinobi trailing behind him exchanged glances, unsure of how to comfort him as they observed his anxious demeanor.

If they were in his position, they likely wouldn't listen to any words of consolation either.

Drip.

Sweat trickled steadily down his temple. That single detail was enough to reveal the storm of panic raging within Uchiha Kaijun.

A man as typically cold and detached as he, once he gave his heart to someone, would cherish that love far more deeply than most people ever could.

And when such love was lost, the hatred that followed would burn even fiercer.

Even without directly facing his wrath, simply standing in Lord Kaijun's presence was enough to fill the other shinobi with an overwhelming sense of dread.

"Heavens, please protect her," they prayed silently in their hearts, though they knew deep down that the odds of Lady Kochou surviving unscathed were slim at best.

"If they had infiltrated enemy territory themselves, they would never have shown mercy to their enemies, regardless of gender.

With heavy hearts, the rescue team finally arrived at the site of the attack.

Blood—vivid, crimson blood—was everywhere, saturating the surroundings in a gruesome sight.

To Uchiha Kaijun's eyes, this scene resembled a vision of hell, so horrifying that it was unbearable to behold.

"Kochou, where are you?"

"Please, don't let anything happen to you."

"I beg of you…"

Walking numbly through the blood-soaked grass, Uchiha Kaijun scanned each corpse on the ground with pleading eyes.

To his slight relief, his wife's body was not among them.

"Stay calm." Forcing himself to think rationally, Uchiha Kaijun gradually regained his usual composure.

"Kochou's strength is extraordinary. Even defeating her would take considerable effort on my part."

"She wouldn't fall so easily. There must be a reason why she hasn't sent any messages."

"Lord Kaijun!" One of his subordinates suddenly shouted, pointing at a mark on the ground. "There's something here!"

After a brief inspection, Uchiha Kaijun's face lit up with joy. The marks on the ground were part of a secret code that only he and his wife understood.

"She's alive!" Uchiha Kei, who had regained his composure, immediately set off in the direction indicated by the markings.

From the traces on the ground, it was clear that the situation had been quite urgent at the time, indicating that his wife was currently being pursued by the enemy.

"Damn it! If only I had noticed earlier!"

Sizzle!

Lightning chakra coursed over his body. Desperate and anxious, Uchiha Kaijun resorted to chakra-stimulation techniques to forcefully increase his speed.

"Lord Kaijun!" His subordinates tried to stop him, but how could he possibly heed their words now?

Within mere moments, Uchiha Kaijun's figure vanished from their sight.

No matter how much effort they put into chasing him, his subordinates simply couldn't keep up with their commander.

"Sigh, forget it. Let's follow the trail he left behind," one of them suggested.

"Indeed. By the way, Lord Kaijun's progress is astonishingly fast," another remarked.

"Of course. Don't forget, he's the cousin of that person."

"Shh! Don't speak of such things carelessly, or you'll be punished."

"Relax, relax. As long as none of us mention it, Lord Kaijun will never know."

Without Uchiha Kaijun present, the team felt an odd sense of relief, allowing them to exchange their thoughts on the situation as they advanced.

However, they failed to notice the lurking danger in the surrounding shadows.

"Kill them. End it quickly!"

Dark figures suddenly burst from the undergrowth, launching a brutal assault on the team without warning.

The attackers were skilled, their movements precise and deadly. They wielded expertise in assassination techniques and summoned strange, ominous snake-like creatures.

What stood out the most was the same scarlet gleam in their eyes.

"You… you're also…"

Before the rescue team could fully comprehend the betrayal, the last member fell to a venomous fang, his heart filled with unanswered questions.

Why would members of their own clan mercilessly attack them?

As his life slipped away, a vague sense of a complex conspiracy seemed to dawn upon him. Yet, he would never uncover the truth.

Having completed their task, the masked assailants retreated into the shadows, leaving no trace behind.

No matter who investigated the incident later, all evidence would point to the Senju clan as the culprits.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Kaijun remained unaware of his team's tragic demise.

Following the clues his wife had left behind, he tracked her to a remote mountain hut.

Following the clues left by his wife, he tracked her all the way to a remote cottage deep in the mountains.

His instincts told him that his wife was most likely hiding inside.

Pushing aside the branches and leaves before him, Uchiha Kei, hidden behind a tree trunk, stared intently at the cottage in the distance.

Normally, he would have chosen a more discreet approach, waiting at least for his subordinates to join him.

However, his restless heart urged him to take the most irrational action.

"I can't wait any longer," he gritted his teeth and charged directly toward the cottage.

Of course, he didn't forget to leave behind a shadow clone.

As one of the key subjects of training under Tajima, not only had he mastered the Chidori technique, but even the shadow clone jutsu had fallen under his clever imitation.

"Kochou, I'm coming to save you."

With the cottage growing closer, Uchiha Kaijun was already prepared for battle.

At that moment, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

A figure clad in black and wearing a mask slowly stepped out. From the aura alone, it was clear that this person was a formidable enemy.

However, what truly caught Uchiha Kaijun's attention was not the figure in black, but the tattered woman in his arms.

The woman was none other than his wife, Uchiha Kochou, who had been missing for a long time.

"Why is it just you?" The hoarse voice of the figure in black came from beneath his mask, expressing some regret. "I was hoping to catch a few more, what a pity."

"Let go of my wife," Uchiha Kaijun said slowly, each word dripping with a murderous intent so intense it could shake the very air.

"Oh? So she's your woman?" The figure in black clicked his tongue, and, seeing the fury in the man's eyes, he buried his head into Kochou's chest and took a deep breath.

"Sorry, I was so bored while waiting that I decided to play a little game with her."

He grabbed Kochou roughly, then smiled and complimented, "I must say, you have great taste."

"Your wife..."

"She's quite... juicy."

With that, he threw the unconscious Kochou aside.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kaijun, his gums already bleeding from clenching his teeth, rushed forward to catch his wife.

To his horror, he saw that her body was covered with numerous burning explosive tags.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amid the deafening explosions, Kaijun tumbled to the side, still holding his wife.

Ignoring the searing pain from his back as his flesh and blood were scorched, he gently laid her on the grass and summoned a shadow clone to guard her.

Then, Uchiha Kaijun slowly rose to his feet and glared at the figure in black, who was clapping his hands in amusement.

"I'll take your life!"
