"Hey, hurry up! Something big is happening at the training grounds."
"What is it? Are we under attack?"
"Idiot, it's the young clan leader having a duel with Kyosuke. Both of them are famous geniuses, and today they're finally going head-to-head."
"What?! Wait for me, I want to watch too!"
At the training grounds, Kyosuke felt a headache coming on.
"Damn Izuna."
He glanced at the smug little brat, knowing full well that all this commotion was his doing.
The reason was obvious: Izuna wanted his brother to defeat Kyosuke in front of everyone.
Over the past year, people had constantly debated who the top genius of the younger generation in the clan was.
Some believed the young clan leader's impressive battle record spoke for itself.
Others argued that Kyosuke, who awakened his Sharingan at the age of seven, was the strongest.
Kyosuke had planned to train quietly for a while, but Izuna had dragged him into this mess.
"Kyosuke!"
Suddenly, a voice called out from the side.
He turned to see his opportunistic cousin walking toward him angrily.
"What are you doing?" Uchiha Kaijun stormed over and questioned him.
"The young clan leader's status is extraordinary. How could you openly challenge him like this?"
Kaijun leaned closer and whispered, "If you win, how will the young clan leader save face? And what would the clan leader think of you?"
Although Kaijun appeared concerned, he was really worried that Kyosuke would anger the clan leader and drag him down with him.
Kaijun wanted Kyosuke to forfeit the match, but Kyosuke simply glanced at him before turning to face the approaching Uchiha brothers.
This infuriated Kaijun.
"You brat! Is this how you treat your cousin when I'm talking to you?!"
"Shut up," Kyosuke said coldly, his eyes narrowing. "Get lost. Don't get in my way."
"You little punk! Have you lost your mind?!"
Kaijun snarled as he pulled out a kunai, determined to teach Kyosuke a lesson.
Kaijun thought Kyosuke was still the helpless kid he once was, despite the praise he had been receiving lately.
But Kaijun underestimated the power of the Sharingan.
Kyosuke easily deflected Kaijun's attack, twisting his body to get behind him.
In one swift move, Kyosuke pressed a short blade to Kei's neck.
"If this weren't inside the clan, I'd kill you right now."
With that, Kyosuke kneed Kaijun in the lower back, sending him crashing to the ground.
In truth, Kaijun wasn't weak. His skills as a Chūnin were decent, but he had no chance against someone with a Sharingan in close combat.
After kicking Kaijun aside, Kyosuke turned to Madara, who was approaching. Smiling faintly, he said, "I didn't expect our first battle to happen like this."
"Shall we clear the area?" Madara asked, frowning slightly as he shot a disapproving look at his younger brother.
Izuna shrank under Madara's glare and quickly ran off.
"No need," Kyosuke replied, gripping his short blade tightly.
"What's coming will come eventually. Besides, I'm tired of staying in the clan."
"Very well. Let's have an all-out fight today," Madara said.
"That's exactly what I want."
Without any unnecessary rituals, both assumed their stances and the fight began.
In terms of physical strength and chakra, the 10-year-old Madara had a clear advantage.
Kyosuke knew he couldn't fight head-on and had to watch out for Madara's ninjutsu.
If he wanted to win, Kyosuke had to rely on his Sharingan and the recently learned Shisui-style Body Flicker Technique.
His scarlet eyes glowed as his Sharingan activated, capturing every move Madara made.
Reaching into his ninja pouch, Kyosuke flicked three shuriken into the air with a flick of his wrist.
Madara didn't even pause. With his long blade, he created an impenetrable defense, easily deflecting the shuriken. The distance between them rapidly closed.
"Nice!"
The spectators cheered. With that display of kenjutsu, Madara had already demonstrated skills surpassing Kyosuke.
"Still the same as always, Kyosuke," Madara said suddenly as he tossed his long blade into the air and quickly performed a series of hand seals.
As fire gathered in his mouth, the temperature around them rose dramatically.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
"What the hell? Is he trying to kill me?!"
Kyosuke thought as the image of Madara annihilating dozens of Mist ninjas in the Great Ninja War flashed in his mind.
But he quickly reminded himself that Madara's current strength wasn't at Jōnin level yet and couldn't produce such a devastating Fire Style.
Still, Kyosuke didn't dare underestimate him.
Just as the fan-shaped blaze approached, Kyosuke finished his own hand seals and transformed into a blurred afterimage, dashing straight toward Madara.
"Body Flicker?!"
Madara was taken aback. He hadn't expected Kyosuke to use such a technique.
"Doesn't he know that forcing this technique can cause irreparable damage to his body?"
"Why did Keisuke teach him the Body Flicker Technique now?" Madara silently cursed his clansman while preparing to defend.
When he turned, Kyosuke was already lying on the ground nearby, grimacing as he stood up.
Half of it was from misjudging his landing, and the other half was from being singed by the flames.
"Did Keisuke teach you the Body Flicker Technique?" Madara asked, frowning.
If Kyosuke confirmed it, Madara would certainly confront Keisuke.
But Kyosuke shook his head, running his hand through his slightly charred hair.
"I taught myself. Damn it, my hair!"
Both Kyosuke and Madara shared the Uchiha family's spiky hairstyle, and Kyosuke had hoped to grow his longer to stand out from the brothers.
"You taught yourself?" Madara fell silent, glancing at Kyosuke's hair, which was now almost shoulder-length. "You should cut your hair."
"Shut up! I'm growing it out!"
"It'll get in the way during battles."
"Ha! I'll develop a hair-based ninjutsu, and then you'll see!"
After some bickering, the two went their separate ways.
Overall, Madara's performance stood out more.
Kyosuke's Body Flicker Technique was fast, but his control was lacking—a fact obvious to all the experienced ninjas present.
Still, the two-year age gap made it hard to determine who was truly more talented.
For Uchiha Tajima, however, the answer was clear.
His son, Madara, was destined to lead the clan.
As for Uchiha Kyosuke? It was time to make plans for him.
