Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara

Chapter 241: A Being That Ignores Six Paths-Level Damage

The Truth-Seeking Orb had transformed into a Sage's Staff—a single strike from it was enough to overwhelm ninety-nine percent of all enemies.

Once, the world revered Kyosuke's strength, and that admiration earned him the title of "God of Shinobi."

Now, however, he had truly transcended the realm of mortals, stepping into a domain comparable to the legendary Sage of Six Paths.

His regenerative abilities were nothing short of miraculous, and his chakra reserves seemed limitless. Yet, despite his overwhelming power, the essence of his body remained undeniably human—he had not undergone any transformation akin to the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

In many ways, he resembled Naruto after inheriting the power of Yang, wielding strength beyond human limits yet still retaining his fundamental nature.

Now that he had stepped into the realm of the Six Paths, even when facing figures like Madara and Hashirama, Kyōsuke felt almost no pressure at all.

Yet at this moment, as he gazed upon the pitch-black monster before him, a long-lost sense of tension arose in his heart.

That was a sensation one only experienced when confronting an opponent of equal strength.

"Even my Sage Staff can't kill it in one strike… This thing's power is simply absurd."

Behind him, the Truth-Seeking Orbs slowly emerged, one after another. Kyōsuke steadily ascended into the sky, rising to the same altitude as Satori. His voice was calm yet firm:

"Monster, can you understand human speech?"

"Monster?" Satori let out a cold, mocking laugh. Its abyss-like maw opened and closed, and from within, a clear and articulate voice emerged:

"I am a monster? Then tell me, do you still think of yourself as human?"

"The fusion of Yin and Yang… You have no idea what kind of terrifying abyss you are about to step into."

What part of me doesn't look human?

Kyōsuke lowered his gaze to his own hands, inwardly remarking that he was still the same handsome, high-quality human as always.

His mind drifted to an earlier speculation, and suddenly, a thought escaped his lips:

"The abyss you speak of… Are you referring to being possessed by the resurrected Kaguya?"

"You—!!"

The reaction was immediate. Clearly, the creature had never expected those words to come from his mouth.

That name—the source of its endless torment, the greatest fear buried in its heart.

If not for that fear, why would that being have made such a desperate attempt?

Satori, though its expression remained unreadable, silently fixed its gaze on the man in midair. Its thoughts gathered, attempting to probe Kyōsuke's mind for any trace of his inner thoughts.

Yet, the effort proved futile.

The magnetic field emitted by those black spheres interfered with its abilities, rendering them ineffective.

"Damn Truth-Seeking Orbs." Satori cursed under its breath. Though it was spoken softly, the words reached Kyōsuke's ears with unmistakable clarity.

It even recognizes the Truth-Seeking Orbs…

Kyōsuke tightened his grip on the Sage Staff, his gaze slowly igniting with a fiery intensity.

He had thought that he wouldn't have a chance to go all out before his final battle with Isshiki.

But it seemed the shinobi world still harbored some shadowy, ancient beings that had long lurked beneath the surface.

"No need for any more words."

Lifting his Staff horizontally, Kyōsuke erupted with an unparalleled burst of speed. In an instant, he appeared beside the monster and struck it once more, sending it flying through the air.

Swift Release: Shadowless Flight!

Having awakened the power of Swift Release, Kyōsuke could now discard almost all other movement techniques except for the Flying Thunder God.

This ability was truly remarkable—its enhancement to his speed was nothing short of astonishing. Yet even now, he had not come close to reaching the full potential of this Kekkei Genkai.

Hiruko had once claimed that his own Swift Release could reach the speed of light. And now, Kyōsuke could see that the man wasn't entirely boasting.

However, transforming into light itself wasn't merely a matter of bloodline development—his physical body also had to be able to withstand such speeds. Otherwise, it wouldn't be power; it would be suicide.

Unlike his previous test attacks, this time, Kyōsuke had put his full strength into the strike.

Upon impact, the monster was hurled backward with such force that it tore straight through the entire fortress of Hōzuki Castle.

"Its body is ridiculously tough…"

With his keen eyesight, Kyōsuke could see clearly—the creature hadn't suffered a fatal wound. The only visible damage was a slight indentation at the point of impact.

"Even my current strength isn't enough?"

Kyōsuke took a deep breath, his mind growing sharp with focus. The natural energy lingering in the air surged toward him like water rushing down a drain, flooding into his body.

Sage Mode—activated!

However, after reaching the Six Paths level, the outward transformation of Kyōsuke's Sage Mode had nearly disappeared. The only visible sign was the dark red markings around his eyes.

Standing still for a moment, he quietly assessed his current state. Then, he sighed softly, realizing that Sage Chakra no longer provided much of a boost to his power.

To achieve a significant enhancement, he would need to absorb all the natural energy within a certain range.

However, the method to accomplish this remained uncertain. If he relied solely on his own ability to absorb nature energy, it would take at least two hours to gather a sufficient amount.

However, the black monster before him exuded an air of eerie composure… but Kyōsuke highly doubted that it would simply stand by and grant him that time.

"Besides... I doubt I could even contain such an enormous amount of Senjutsu chakra."

"During the second Battle of the Valley of the End, Naruto only managed to control such vast amounts of natural energy because he used Kurama as a vessel."

"No... even then, he only managed to unleash about thirty percent of that power. Whether it was due to unwillingness or inability, the result was the same—his strength barely matched Indra's Arrow."

"I might be able to utilize my Complete Body Susanoo, but the question remains—how do I even absorb that much energy?"

While Kyōsuke was contemplating ways to enhance his strength, the black creature attempted to slip away unnoticed.

Unfortunately for it, its massive body ensured that even the smallest movement caused a terrifying disturbance.

Unless Kyōsuke was both deaf and blind, there was no way he wouldn't notice its attempt to flee.

"Not willing to continue the fight?"

"Does it have some kind of concern? Or is it simply because, despite its sturdy body, it hasn't yet mastered the corresponding combat power?"

Regardless of the reason, Kyōsuke had no intention of letting it leave so easily.

The fact that it recognized the Truth-Seeking Orbs and possessed knowledge of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya meant that this creature was far more than just a mindless beast that devoured lives.

And if his guess was correct... then he was getting closer and closer to the truth.

*BOOOOM!!!*

The air exploded in an instant, sending a massive shockwave rippling outward in a perfect circular arc.

Like a shooting star, Kyōsuke's figure streaked through the sky, slamming directly into the black monster with devastating force!

A surge of unmatched power erupted as he drove the creature backward, forcing it along the ground. Everything in their path—earth, rock, and even the very landscape itself—was completely obliterated under the sheer force of their collision.

Though the black monster's combat ability was somewhat lacking, there was no denying the fact that its physical body had reached the Six Paths level.

Its durability was even greater than Kyōsuke's current form!

And thus, for the first time in a thousand years, a battle between Six Paths-level entities erupted in the Shinobi World once more.

"Bastard! Don't push me too far!!!"

Despite the overwhelming impact, Satori still retained the ability to speak.

Kyōsuke could clearly sense the rage and frustration in its voice—yet, notably, there was no fear.

That could only mean one thing—it knew, with absolute certainty, that no matter what, it would not suffer fatal damage.

At that moment, a thought flashed through Kyōsuke's mind.

Did the Six Paths brothers feel this same sense of powerlessness when they faced Kaguya at her peak?

Techniques that should be overwhelming... simply bouncing off an opponent, failing to even leave a scratch.

This is even more despair-inducing than having jutsu absorbed outright.

"If it can completely ignore my attacks, then its body's durability must have already reached the level of a high-tier Six Paths being."

"However... it still doesn't seem fully accustomed to this power. That might just be my opportunity!"

Tightening his grip on his Sage Staff, Kyōsuke moved swiftly, suppressing the creature's movements.

Then, with a single hand seal—

A blinding flash erupted from his mouth!

Sage Art: Storm Release – Light Fang!

A streak of brilliant purple light shot forth, slicing through the air at an astonishing speed!

At last—for the first time in the battle—a visible crack formed upon the black monster's seemingly indestructible exterior!

And in that instant, Kyōsuke's eyes widened in shock.

His unparalleled insight allowed him to finally see... the 'truth' hidden within the creature's body!
