Kurei was confused by Recca's words; he did not expect Recca would say something different from what he thought. From the info he got about Recca, his little brother was a hot-blooded idiot who was a ninja wannabe with very low IQ and intelligence. Recca, who was talking in front of him, was really different from what he expected.
"You did not want to inherit the Hokage clan, you said!? Are you trying to mock me? From what I know about you, aren't you a ninja wannabe who is trying to become a ninja who protects a princess? And are you supposed to be feeling angry at me and trying to fight me? Because I'm kidnapping the girl you want to protect!?"
"Yanagi was a good friend, yes. But she was not the person I wanted to protect the most; the people I wanted to protect the most were my girlfriend, Fuuko, my mother, and my little brother. I come here, and you save her because she was my good friend, but if you are asking me if I love her as a lover, then the answer is a big no.
Her personality is a bit too much for me to handle; I think the only one who was patient enough to handle her isTokiya-senpai, not me."
Recca thinks he is in the manga, maybe blinded by the clumsy, airheaded attitude of Yanagi; that's why he wants to protect her. But Recca, who already knew the truth after reading the manga about himself, realized that he already had someone he loved very much, so he would not let Fuuko go no matter what.
***
"Hey Recca— Nii-chan, do you want to fight him alone? Or do you want me to help you?" Asked Kaoru.
"Nope, let me handle him alone. I want to know how strong the power of a genius Enjushi is. I may not be as good as him in controlling a flame, but I was a Jonin-level Shinobi of Konoha with a Kage-level chakra. So I think I was more than enough to fight with him," answered Recca, whose face looked very serious and a killing intent was coming out of his body.
"Kaoru, you, Fuuko, Mom, and Tokiya-senpai. Please save Yanagi; let me fight my older brother, who called Enjushi a genius." Without talking another word, Kaoru, Kagerou, Fuuko, and Tokiya are doing what Recca is asking of them. And not even Kurei is trying to stop them, because Kurei already got what he wanted: the healing power of Yanagi.
The extraction was already complete a minute before Recca arrived at his room. What he wants to do right now is test how strong his little brother is. He did not believe when Recca said he was a Jonin-level ninja. Because he had never heard about Konoha. "You said you are a Jonin-level ninja from some fictional ninja village that you made up. You are foolish, my little brother; let me show you how strong the real ninja is! I, Kurei, the heir of the Hokage clan, would show you what the difference between a real ninja and a ninja wannabe is!"

Kurei's body was split up into five, and then he moved with a high speed to Recca. The technique he used was called Wakemi, the technique to make a perfect clone of oneself but limited in number. So it was not on par with Kagebunshin in terms of quantity, but the quality of Bunshin made from Wakemi is better, so it is more durable than Kagebunshin.
Recca was surprised because he totally forgot that Kurei can use Wakemi. But he is only surprised for a second before he uses a seamless Kagebunshin that he made more durable by coating the body of the Kagebunshin with a layer of Ki barrier. Kurei looked shocked when he saw his little brother doing the same technique as him. But the things Recca does only make Kurei feel more angry at Recca. So he attacks Recca by summoning Kurenai out of his body, and all of his clones also do the same thing. And all five full bodies of Kurenai are attacking Recca with a bullet of fire feather. All the clones of Recca summon a four-tailed flame out of their bodies, and then the four tails conjure a fire barrier to protect their bodies, and then they shoot a fireball at the same time. While Kurei can only attack Recca. Recca was doing attack and defense at the same time, something Kurei cannot do.
***
The result of the first clash between Recca and Kurei can be called a tie. And it was the result Kurei cannot accept. So he increased the output of the attack of Kurenai and made a huge fireball that was enough to destroy the mansion into dust. The giant fireball made between the palms of Kurenai is ready to shoot out. But Recca looked calm seeing Kurenai's second attack because of the first clash. Now Recca can measure how strong Kurei is; physically, Kurei is a bit stronger than Domon, his speed is impressive, and the level of fire control is also good. But for Recca, Kurei is too weak for him.
He can tell that Kurei did not train very often and only trained occasionally to keep his body fit enough. Recca was sighing; sure, Kurei was a genius that could get stronger with minimum effort. But for Recca, what Kurei does is an insult to a hard worker like him. So Recca decided to show the big difference in power between him and Kurei. He may not be a genius like Kurei. But he was sure enough that he was training hard enough to surpass the current Kurei. Recca made a flame katana in his hand, and then before Kurei could shoot out the giant fireball from Kurenai. Recca already moved with a speed that Kurei could not perceive with his eyes and then slashed the giant fireball along with Kurei's body.
***
The slash from the flame katana split the fireball into two, and it also made Kurei's chest have a big wound. The mask he is wearing is also cut into two parts.Blood is coming out of his mouth and wound. He cannot believe that he lost against his younger brother with only one simple attack. "You are a genius, Enjushi, indeed, but from the way you are moved and the muscle on your body, I can see that you are not training your body often enough, but you are only training enough to maintain the fitness of your body so your body will not be stiff. Sadly, it makes your strength stagnant and different from you, big bro. I am always training my body every moment. So you did not have a chance to win against me, big bro. I hope when we have a chance to fight for the second time, you are stronger than this."
Recca then leaves behind Kurei, who looks pissed off but cannot do anything because of the wound on his body. And not long after Recca left, Neon, the current lover of Kurei and also her personal maid and secretary, came and treated the wound on Kurei's body without panic. Because she is silently watching the fight.
"Neon, after you finish treating my wound, make a training schedule for me. Because I need to get stronger to kill my little brother and Kouran Mouri. Lastly, contact the Urabutou Satsujin HQ, because I need a proper arena to kill."
