My Foolish Big Brother

My foolish big brother!

Kazuki stood to one side, looked at the unconscious Shisui, and sighed.

The plan was about to begin. Kazuki's expression remained calm, but he was deeply conflicted inside.

Because his plan would truly hurt Shisui.

Although he had reincarnated here and was not, in the strictest sense, the real Uchiha Yishū—after all, Shisui had no younger brother in the original story.

But!

After living together with Shisui for so many years...

"Yeah, why is it so quiet today?"

Several Jonin subconsciously shook their heads.

Uchiha Yashiro turned around and stared fiercely at the Jonin present, his gaze stern and overwhelmingly oppressive.

As for Kazuki, although he also shouted about the Will of Fire every day...

This was his clone!

He suddenly laughed.

His aura was the strongest, and his expression was terrifyingly grim.

Just as Yashiro was about to ask something else, a commotion broke out.

Shisui, whose stance clearly leaned toward the Hokage, was precisely the ideal candidate.

"Alas!" The middle-aged woman sighed. "You mean..."

He had lost his composure as well.

As he spoke.

Yashiro stepped forward and carefully examined their bodies. When he discovered that both were still alive, he finally let out a long breath of relief.

"What happened?!"

He was even hated by many people!

To many people, the Uchiha did not need so many geniuses.

The Hokage Faction still had not chosen him.

Uchiha Fugaku!

Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force!

Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan!

"Begin!"

Uchiha Yashiro muttered to himself.

The clone silently took out one surgical instrument after another. Walking over to Shisui, he held a scalpel and, without hesitation, plunged it into Shisui's eye.

Most importantly, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, could not see through Kazuki.

But...

Bang!

Everyone present was familiar with one another, and their words and actions had all seemed normal.

"Will you hate me, Shisui?"

Especially the Uchiha Dove Faction, which vaguely intended to choose a successor from either Shisui or Kazuki.

"What do you mean, making a fuss for so long?" The middle-aged man sneered. "They were obviously playing for so long. Kazuki was the one playing, and Shisui was the one being played with."

"You're an exceptionally talented ninja, and even more than that, a good person. You may be a little naive, but you shouldn't have met the same end as in the original story."

Just then, a tremendous explosion rang out.

The houses throughout the area began to tremble faintly, as if an earthquake had struck.

At least they were alive.

The first middle-aged Uchiha to arrive said gravely, "Lord Yashiro, that's Shisui and Kazuki's house. They... they seem to still be inside."

"Notify the Medical Ninjas! Have them come save them immediately!"

Uchiha Itachi's father!

At his side stood a small figure—it was none other than Uchiha Itachi!

"You're asking me? Hehe, well, this really doesn't seem like me. Hahaha!"

Uchiha Yashiro's hands paused mid-seal.

Whoosh!

He absolutely counted as one of the Uchiha's upper echelon.

Their eyes were gone!

"I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I only want you to live."

And...

A great number of Uchiha ninja gathered from every direction, including a fierce-looking middle-aged man.

The Sharingan!

Gone!

He had even acted against many Hawk Faction Uchiha.

He possessed formidable analytical and leadership abilities. Even Fugaku, both the clan patriarch and captain of the Police Force, held him in high regard.

Although the Uchiha excelled at Fire Release, and their clan emblem was the Fire Fan representing their command over flames...

Thus, Uchiha Yishū, who should have shone with limitless brilliance, had ended before he ever began. He became a child who spent his days causing trouble and playing pranks.

Shisui and Kazuki?

They were the Uchiha's two most outstanding geniuses.

Blood traced bizarre patterns across the ground.

Overwhelming killing intent nearly solidified into substance.

Had they actually been attacked?

"Water Release..."

Kazuki and Shisui.

"Good!"

Large amounts of blood ran down their faces—or rather, poured from their empty eye sockets.

They were the representatives of the Uchiha's other two factions.

At their head stood two elderly figures.

The other Uchiha also looked horrified.

Blood splattered everywhere...

Like the gaping bloody maw of a demon, it was suffocating.

No!

It was precisely because he was naive that he gave everything to him.

One Water Release ninjutsu after another was unleashed.

Therefore, not only would he not choose him, he had deliberately or unconsciously suppressed him.

His hand remained steady, but pain flashed across his face for an instant.

After finishing this, the clone looked at the original body and asked, "Have you made up your mind? Do you really need to take things this far?"

A drop fell onto Kazuki's face. It was still some distance from his eye, yet he closed his eyes anyway.

Shisui and Kazuki lay on the ground, already unconscious.

"How could this happen?"

This was a clan overflowing with geniuses. Yet the Hokage Faction could only pick one among them as its representative, gathering all the glory onto that one person.

Three tomoe appeared in the middle-aged Uchiha's eyes in an instant, and he shot out of the house like lightning.

"Come on. The crueler, the better. Consider it punishment."

A colossal Fire Release dragon burst from Kazuki and Shisui's home, roaring toward the sky.

"Even if you hate me, so be it. This is something I have to do. I can't just stand by and watch you die."

But!

Then he froze in shock.

Bang!

The original story had said more than once that the Uchiha's love ran deep.

Blood!

"Why is it so quiet?"

Several Uchiha Jonin and many elite Uchiha Chunin acted together, quickly extinguishing the blaze.

"Isn't that perfectly normal?" The middle-aged man said casually. "Though Kazuki was young during the ninja war, his contributions were hardly small. They were merely deliberately covered up. Otherwise, how could things have turned out like this?"

The surgery ended quickly.

Even setting aside their age, they were Uchiha Jonin themselves and Kagami's grandsons—important figures within the Uchiha.

At that moment, Kazuki suddenly thought of someone... Uchiha Madara!

Old Madara, we definitely need to have a good talk sometime!

Kazuki formed a hand seal.

Immediately afterward.

"The one who deserves to die was never you."

Fortunately!

Another Uchiha Yishū appeared.

Kazuki looked at Shisui, muttered to himself, and then smiled.

Precisely because of this, Kazuki had to carry out the plan even more.

"Hm?"

Inside a house near Kazuki's home, a middle-aged Uchiha reading a newspaper raised his head in surprise and looked toward Kazuki's house.

It would be best if there were no one at all!

The original body looked at the clone.

Naive as Shisui was, he had truly been good to him.

Killing intent spread through the area!

Something like this had actually happened in the Uchiha's core territory!

A man wearing a dark blue long coat, with short brown hair and distinctive markings beside his eyes, stared at the flames soaring into the sky in shock and fury. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Fire Release? Such a powerful Fire Release ninjutsu—at least A-rank! To dare use it here... whose house is that?"

A stranger?

The chance of a stranger coming here was low.

He was a squad captain in the Konoha Military Police Force.

Because their eye sockets were completely empty!

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Beside him, a middle-aged woman also looked stunned. "Don't these two brothers usually make a fuss for ages?"

"Did you find anything? Were there any strangers around, or anyone acting suspiciously?"

Kazuki's original body said this to the clone.

The two Sharingan were soaked in a special liquid, and Kazuki put them away.

Offending Danzo was only one of the reasons.

White smoke rose.

However, upon seeing those two people, every Uchiha present fell silent.

A fire dragon!

The middle-aged woman burst out laughing. "Body Flicker Shisui is famous throughout the ninja world and the pride of the clan, yet to Kazuki, he's become a toy."

This was the Uchiha's core territory. The ninja living here were either Uchiha Jonin or Uchiha higher-ups. It was impossible for them to know only Fire Release ninjutsu.

The two had relied on each other for so many years. Shisui was not merely his older brother—he had also taken on part of a father's role.

At that moment, flames filled the entire world, and Kazuki's home was but an imperceptible speck within the inferno.

The Uchiha rushed into Kazuki's home. Before long, they found them—two people with obvious burn marks all over their bodies.

The middle-aged man's expression was filled with coldness.

As for everything else, that was not something he could decide alone.

The other Uchiha also arrived one after another, their expressions cold and faintly furious.

From two other directions, two groups of Uchiha were also rushing over.

They had called each other brothers for so many years.

Only...

Under his lead, the Uchiha had already begun forming Water Release hand seals.

Even if someone occasionally came by, they would be like a candle in the darkness, watched by everyone and not daring to do anything.

Only after becoming an Uchiha did Kazuki truly understand this.

Hawk Faction: Uchiha Setsuna!

Dove Faction: Uchiha Muneyoshi!

The Uchiha's important figures had all gathered here!
