A year ago, the news of Kyosuke's death shocked many people.
There are many sad ones, but the one with the greatest influence is undoubtedly his invincible army.
The entire legion has nearly two hundred people, most of whom have mastered the ninjutsu Chidori, and the strength of the three senior ninjas among them is extraordinary.
Such a force, not to mention the clan leader Tajima, even Uchiha Rei who was far away in the south wanted to take it for himself.
It is easy to imagine how much pressure Izuna and Maya, as deputy commanders of the legion, must have been under during this period.
Uchiha Rei was okay, he still had some respect for himself and didn't want his former subordinates to look down on him.
Even when it came to winning over and bribing, they adopted a step-by-step approach, intending to digest the entire team from within.
On the other hand, Uchiha Tajima completely abandoned his dignity and was almost forcing Maya to surrender with a knife.
Uchiha Izuna is indifferent and not good at speaking, so when Kyosuke goes out, it is usually Maya who takes charge of all matters.
When the news of Kyosuke's death was learned, there were several small-scale disturbances within the legion.
Faced with the temptation of power, fame and fortune, not everyone has the courage to refuse.
Not to mention, the future of the legion was already uncertain after Kyosuke's death.
Soon, one after another, clan members left the legion under the pretext of being transferred, and completely left the camp to which Kyosuke belonged.
After several struggles, only 135 people were left in the team, and most of those who left ran to the patriarch's side.
Having tasted the sweetness, Uchiha Tajima decided to go all out and directly ordered the complete disbanding of Kyosuke's army, intending to swallow it whole in one bite.
However, he still underestimated Kyosuke's charm.
Fame, wealth and power cannot be tempted, and how could a mere order be accepted by those 135 die-hard supporters?
Faced with the disbandment and transfer orders, the entire group fought to the end, vowing to never fulfill Tajima's wish.
In the first month...Tajima came over personally every day to ask about his well-being. He treated the legionnaires with more affection than he treated his two sons.
In the second month... Tajima started with the clan. For every ninja belonging to Kyosuke's army, his family would send him various supplies and constantly tell him about the benefits of joining the clan leader.
The third month... Tajima's patience was gradually running out.
He felt that these guys were a bit stubborn.
He's just a dead man, is it necessary to be so loyal and righteous?
That thing can't be eaten.
When he said this, perhaps he never thought about why he could not provide his own secret techniques for his subordinates to learn.
The apprentice starves his master to death, this kind of thing makes sense in any world, and it is for this reason that Kyosuke's actions are so precious.
There is no need to explain what level of ninjutsu Chidori is.
When everyone learned that Kyosuke was willing to teach for free, they couldn't believe their ears.
This means you join the company as a salesperson at the lowest level, but the boss waves his hand and directly gives you a portion of the original shares of the listed company as a profit.
Anyone who is a little more sensible should understand the importance of gratitude.
So what if the Legion Commander dies? As long as we are here, the Legion will live forever.
No matter threats or inducements, Tajima could not shake the iron will of 135 people.
Seeing that his conspiracy could never succeed, he simply waved his hand and dispatched Kyosuke's army directly to the front line.
The Fūma Clan, Hatake, Inuzuka and other clans in the western part of the Land of Fire are ready to make moves, and they would have some friction with the Uchiha from time to time.
Uchiha Tajima's intention is very clear. Aren't you guys awesome? Then just fight them to the death.
Maya couldn't refuse the clan leader's war order, otherwise it would be treason.
As a last resort, she could only lead the legion to the western battlefield, where she began to engage in intrigues with various clans and engage in large-scale armed fights from time to time.
Without Kyosuke in charge, the legion actually lost its former power to kill people.
After half a year of war, there are only 105 people left in the legion, and 30 compatriots have remained in the western battlefield forever.
Even though Uchiha Maya earned the nickname "Bloody Rose" and even though they were known as the strongest 100-man army, unfortunately, they could not bring back the lives of those 30 comrades.
Seeing that his conspiracy failed, Uchiha Tajima started to make trouble again.
He planned to use Uchiha Keisuke to control Kyosuke's army.
That's right, it's the cheap cousin who is always thinking about murdering Kyosuke.
He learned the complete Chidori, and awakened the Sharingan (Three-Tomoe) with the help of the resentment in his heart.
There is also the clan leader Tajima who spared no effort in training and taught him for two years with the ghost father teacher.
Today, Uchiha Keisuke already possesses combat power comparable to that of a Jōnin.
Although he is not as good as the three Uchiha masters, he is at least much stronger than ninjas of the same age.
As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. Except for Izuna and Maya, no one else knows the specific relationship between Kyosuke and him.
Therefore, Uchiha Keisuke did have the opportunity to join the legion as his cousin.
The prerequisite is to obtain the approval of the two ANBU Captains.
Others may not know, but how could Maya not know what kind of person Uchiha Keisuke is?
When she learned that the other party wanted to join the legion, she rejected it on the spot, giving the reason that he was not strong enough.
Little did she know that this move was exactly what he wanted.
Seizing the loophole in Maya's words, Uchiha Keisuke asked in front of many people whether he would be qualified to join the legion if he defeated the two.
In order not to arouse others' disgust, he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the identities of the two people, pointing out that they were also subordinates trained by Uchiha Madara.
What I mean is that your background is not right, so let's not say anything about each other.
Seeing this situation, Maya knew that she could not escape, and finally she accepted Uchiha Keisuke's invitation to the competition.
In their first fight, Maya successfully defeated her opponent using Genjutsu, relying on her strength gained from being a Jōnin for many years.
After leaving a promise to fight again the next day, Uchiha Keisuke returned to the clan leader, and Tajima began to personally guide him in training.
In order to improve his Genjutsu ability, he continued to strengthen the activation of Raiton (Lightning Release) cells and even taught him his unique Katon ninjutsu.
With the memory function of the Sharingan and his own extraordinary talent, Uchiha Keisuke's strength began to improve rapidly.
The 15-year-old Uchiha Keisuke could already be considered a strong young man during the Warring States Period.
His physical development is complete, and his physical skills are gradually approaching the level of an adult warrior. His foundation is by no means comparable to that of his youth.
In two months, Uchiha Keisuke's strength increased dramatically. In the second challenge, he defeated Bloody Rose with a slight advantage.
"You have nothing to say now?" He looked very proud.
In the past year, the Bloody Rose has become famous and is showing signs of becoming the leading face of the Western Frontier Legion.
If he defeated his opponent in front of everyone today, it would be equivalent to taking over all of Maya's fame.
He, Uchiha Keisuke, finally succeeded in standing at the top of the clan.
Of course, he did not get too carried away, because there was still a huge mountain that he had to overcome.
That is Uchiha Izuna, whose strength has reached the pinnacle of Jōnin, and the true second fighting force of Kyosuke's army.
In the challenge a few days later, Uchiha Keisuke was unexpectedly defeated.
The situation was even uglier than the first challenge to Maya. The difference in their fighting abilities was enormous, and they were not opponents of the same level at all.
Tajima, who had no time to continue teaching, silently left him a message.
"If you don't win within six months, Uchiha Chō will become Madara's wife."
As soon as these words were spoken, Uchiha Keisuke almost went crazy on the spot, and it also made Tajima realize that this guy really cared about his girlfriend.
If you want to surpass that person, conventional training methods will definitely not work, so just put a lock on his mind.
Love and hatred have always been the only way to motivate people to make progress.
As it happens, Uchiha Keisuke has both.
His hatred for Kyosuke drives him to constantly surpass his limits and grow.
His love for Uchiha Chō will also make him burst out with amazing energy.
Complete the impossible task and surpass the powerful Uchiha Izuna within half a year.
In order to surpass his opponent, does he need ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu?
No, it's energy.
With the same hard training, was it determination that really drove him to defeat his opponent?
No, it's energy.
Why did Uchiha Keisuke stand there and be unpopular, while Uchiha Kyosuke became the legion commander respected by everyone?
Because they have already opened up their energy!
Today, he defeated Maya with the support of love and hatred. Tomorrow, when he opens his energy, the opponents he will defeat will be Uchiha Tajima and Senju Butsuma.
Because Uchiha Keisuke already has energy.
Understand the applause!
Inspired by the success philosophy of clan leader Tajima, Uchiha Keisuke began the most arduous training period of his life.
In order to prove that he is no worse than Kyosuke and to protect the woman he loves, he walks on the edge of life and death every day.
Using death as fertilizer, he successfully irrigated a terrifying power beyond anyone's imagination.
Six months passed in a flash, and when Uchiha Keisuke appeared again, almost no one associated this man covered in blood with his former self.
"One battle will decide the outcome." Staring at his opponent with an indifferent look, Uchiha Keisuke said calmly, "If you lose, I will disappear from your sight."
"Okay." Uchiha Izuna remained silent and simply nodded in response. The two of them immediately stepped forward and started fighting.
The battle was extremely fierce. The two sides had almost the same hard power. The former was experienced, while the latter was determined to die if they failed.
At the last moment, the two of them used all their strength to activate Chidori and complete a long-distance and violent attack.
In terms of chakra accumulation, Uchiha Izuna has always had a clear advantage, and this fight was also completed under his guidance.
Normally, the result would most likely be that the opponent would be exhausted first, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred at the critical moment.
"Kei-kun, come on!" The girlfriend who rushed over after hearing the news seemed to inject a dose of adrenaline into Uchiha Keisuke who was on the verge of collapse.
Uchiha Izuna clearly saw that the blue veins on the opponent's forehead suddenly bulged out, and countless blood vessels spread around the Sharingan, as if it was a fierce ghost that was choosing its prey.
boom!
A violent chakra shock erupted, and the two figures flew backwards.
Uchiha Izuna was half-kneeling on the ground, unable to stand up, while Uchiha Keisuke relied on his terrifying willpower to struggle to get up from the ground.
"ah!!!"
With a roar, he successfully released all the pressure accumulated over the past six months.
But before his roar could stop, a person suddenly ran in hurriedly from outside.
"Brother, brothers, great news! It turns out that Commander Kyosuke is not dead!"
In the courtyard, Uchiha Keisuke's roar suddenly stopped.
