Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara-Chapter 284: The Ten-Tails versus the Great Toad Sage

Standing upon the massive head of the beast, Kyōsuke did not need to give vocal commands. His will alone was enough to exert complete control over the Ten-Tails.

While other Uchiha were content piloting humanoid chakra constructs, Kyōsuke had gone beyond, now commanding a beast of mythic proportions.

BAANG!!!

With every step the Ten-Tails took, the earth trembled violently. Its titanic presence alone sent shockwaves of fear through the hearts of countless toads.

A handful of massive toads, each over eighty meters tall, leapt forth in an attempt to stop the advancing behemoth. But their resistance was futile. They were swiftly crushed, reduced to nothing more than peanuts in the jaws of the Ten-Tails.

"Well now, even the side dishes have arrived," Kyōsuke muttered with a smile that was cold and devoid of empathy.

By summoning the Ten-Tails right from the outset, Kyōsuke made his intentions abundantly clear—he had no plans to leave his enemies a chance to escape or retreat.

His message to Great Toad Gamamaru was simple and brutal. Fight, or watch your entire lineage be exterminated, one by one.

"Stop this at once!"

Suddenly, a thunderous voice rang out of nowhere, reverberating beside Kyōsuke's ear. It was Toad Sage Gamamaru, transmitting his voice directly through senjutsu chakra.

As the teacher who once instructed the Sage of Six Paths and his brother in the art of senjutsu, Toad Gamamaru seemed to embody the essence of a true sage. Every movement, every word exuded mysterious power and ancient authority.

"Sound travels through air, after all," Kyōsuke muttered, trying to explain it away. "It's just a matter of distance and volume. Perfectly reasonable."

He was unwilling to admit that the sudden voice had startled him, particularly since he had just been momentarily distracted by a memory of someone. The unexpected croaking shout from the old toad had indeed caught him off guard.

Opening a pitch-black portal beside him, Kyōsuke reached inside and pulled out a humanoid figure, completely unconscious.

This was Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, captured during the Resurrection battle after a failed attempt to escape.

Upon returning to Konohagakure, Kyōsuke had handed him over to Yayoi for study, with the intention of analyzing and replicating the unique cellular and genetic properties of the Ōtsutsuki clan.

Now that the research had long been completed, it was time for Urashiki to meet his destined end.

"Here you go, snack time."

Without the slightest hesitation, Kyōsuke tossed Urashiki into the gaping maw of the ravenous Ten-Tails.

[System Notification: Successfully killed Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. Points acquired: 153,480.]

[Current Points: 474,200.]

"Everyone says it's hard to gather points. Yet, before I knew it, I'm almost at half a million."

With that thought, Kyōsuke turned his attention to the newly updated system exchange list, which had undergone a complete transformation.

Beyond the previous items, many new "galactic-level" goods had appeared, each more advanced and mysterious than the last.

Remarkably, Kyōsuke could now bypass the need for a Chakra Fruit entirely. With just one million points, he could ignite the Divine Flame and attain the Undying Body.

There were other options too, such as the Sage Immortal Physique, though that seemed somewhat inferior compared to the unique breakthroughs available only to the Ōtsutsuki clan.

Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't strange at all. After all, devouring a Chakra Fruit was the pinnacle of Ōtsutsuki biotechnology—a miracle condensed into a single fruit.

But surely, that could not be the only path to transcend the limits of the mortal body.

As for the Abilities category, each branch—Space-Time, Law, Physical, Soul—required a full million points to unlock.

The system gave no detailed description of the powers that would be granted. Kyōsuke could only speculate what kind of abilities lay hidden behind those names.

Could it be completely random?

That possibility didn't trouble him much. If it stood equal to the Undying Body, it was undoubtedly one of the strongest powers imaginable. Whatever he exchanged for, he wouldn't come out at a loss.

The Items category needed no further elaboration. The full set of nuclear application technologies had finally been revealed.

If Kyōsuke redeemed them, he was confident the ninja world would rapidly master the terrifying power of true "nuclear peace."

Unlike the small skirmishes of his previous life, this power boasted planet-destroying firepower—an overwhelming force that made it worthy to stand beside the Undying Body in the exchange list.

Kyōsuke even speculated that the requirement of one million points across these top-tier items might imply a hidden balance.

Perhaps a being who had ignited the Divine Flame could still fall under the destructive force of a well-executed nuclear assault.

"I must find a chance to test it," he murmured with a smile. In his mind's eye, a towering mushroom cloud began to bloom, blotting out the sky.

"Great Toad Sage!"

Back in the heart of Mount Myōboku, the two elder toads—Fukasaku and Shima—desperately tried to persuade the Great Toad Sage to retreat.

The Ten-Tails was not some common beast. It had once nearly destroyed the world.

With the Sage of Six Paths long gone, there was no one left alive who could rein in its devastation.

Rather than remain and await death, fleeing the sacred mountain to survive was a wiser choice. They could lead their entire race to Shikkotsu Forest.

There, with the Great Toad Sage and the Slug Sage joining forces, Fukasaku did not believe they would fail to defeat the Ten-Tails.

To their eyes, it did not appear as powerful as the rumors had claimed. The true threat was not the beast itself, but the human figure standing atop its head.

"Uchiha Kyōsuke."

Fukasaku was no recluse. He often wandered the shinobi world whenever he had nothing to do, and he was deeply familiar with the appearance of the so-called God of Shinobi.

But wasn't that man supposed to be dead?

Even if he had faked his death, what grievance did he hold against the toads? Why would he attack Mount Myoboku? The Toad Sages had never wronged him.

"The fault lies with me."

A deep, resonant voice interrupted Fukasaku's thoughts and pulled him back to the present.

At that moment, the Great Toad Sage Gamamaru revealed a form that rivaled the Ten-Tails in sheer size. Gone was the frail and shriveled appearance of old. In its place stood a majestic and powerful being, brimming with ancient strength.

Without explaining further, the sage tore down a sage talisman he had personally placed over a thousand years ago, then retrieved an ancient jar steeped in the scent of time from beneath his seat.

"Go to the Shikkotsu Forest and hand this over to the Great Slug Sage personally."

"Tell him... I've done all I can."

What he called a "small jar" was only small relative to Gamamaru's enormous body.

In truth, it was over two meters tall and appeared to contain something of immense power sealed within.

"Alright then..."

With the matter now laid bare, the two sages could no longer persuade him otherwise.

Soon after, under Shima's arrangements, the toads began leaving Mount Myōboku in orderly fashion.

Kyōsuke was, of course, aware of all this—but he had no interest in stopping them.

Just as he had said earlier, they were nothing more than appetizers—tasteless and expendable. As long as the main course remained, it didn't matter.

"After all this fuss, I suppose I should say hello to the main host."

"And besides, I want to test the Ten Tails' capabilities. Let's see if this little monster is actually useful."

"Don't die too easily now."

With a single hand seal, a thunderous roar erupted from the Ten Tails. In front of its maw, an elliptical mass of chakra began to rapidly swell.

"This is bad."

Gamamaru stepped forward to shield everyone, determined to take the attack head-on.

He had no choice.

There were still many members who hadn't yet evacuated. If he dodged, it would lead to catastrophic casualties.

It was not that it wanted to fight to the death, but rather that the enemy was simply too despicable.

"But you've underestimated me. An attack of this level won't work on me."

Sage Art: Iron-Water Cannonball!

A torrential surge of water burst forth like a river flowing in reverse.

A thousand years ago, this technique had once left even the young Sage of Six Paths in awe.

And now, wielded again, it carried a force no other sage technique wielder could match.

The Ten Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb was ground down and completely neutralized by Gamamaru's water-style sage art.

"Incredible," Kyōsuke couldn't help but praise.

After devouring Urashiki and most of the Sage Serpent's Pool, the Ten Tails was now on the verge of leaping past its growth phase.

Even if it wasn't quite there yet, with a few years to digest, becoming the complete Divine Tree should be no problem.

But Kyōsuke didn't want to wait. He had no idea how long interstellar travel would take—and time shouldn't be wasted on meaningless delays.

As the ultimate chakra reservoir, the Ten Tails practically had no limit to how much it could contain. Cultivating the Divine Tree was only the beginning.

Once it devoured this great toad, its growth should even surpass Kaguya's Ten Tails.

And as the Ten Tails' jinchūriki, Kyōsuke's power would naturally rise in turn.

"Who knows? Maybe I'll even reach the level where I can create chakra fruits on my own."

The thought was extravagant, even to him.

If chakra fruits were really that easy to obtain, Kaguya wouldn't have gone through so much scheming. The system wouldn't have set the reward at a million surplus points either.

"Ultimately, the Ten Tails caps out at the Sage level. It's hard to break through that ceiling with just it alone."

His eyes flickered with a violet glow. In Gamamaru's stunned gaze, the colossal body of the Ten Tails was instantly clad in dark golden armor.

The power of Susanoo was unleashed—an armored Ten Tails appeared, shaking the world.

"Now this is what I call battle."

As Kyōsuke let out a wild, exhilarated laugh, another Tailed Beast Bomb began to form—this one far more terrifying than before.

This time, it even contained the ocular power of the Rinnegan.

"Don't get carried away!"

Faced with an attack of unimaginable power, Gamamaru's face darkened. The entire Mount Myōboku began to tremble violently.

He was ready to risk everything now.
