Chapitre 302: Chapter 302
The Seven-Tails, Chōmei.
With a beetle-like upper body and dragonfly-like lower body, Chōmei is the only one of the Nine Tailed Beasts capable of flight.
Among the Nine Tailed Beasts, Kurama, the Nine-Tails, ranks first in strength, while the rest are fairly even.
However, when it comes to the most suitable Tailed Beast for a Jinchūriki, Chōmei takes the top spot, followed by Matatabi, the Two-Tails.
Chōmei is the most gentle of the Tailed Beasts, despising war. Most importantly, it grants its Jinchūriki the ability to grow wings and fly.
Flight is a rare attribute, whether in the ninja world or the world of seafaring.
The only reason Takigakure possesses Chōmei isn't because of their strength. Nations like Amegakure, Tetsu no Kuni (Land of Iron), or Uzushiogakure are all stronger.
Takigakure retains Chōmei because it simply doesn't bother leaving. The environment of the Land of Waterfalls is the most comfortable for Chōmei, and its reclusive nature means it stays put as long as it isn't disturbed.
Naturally, the conspicuous Tailed Beast immediately drew the attention of the invading Uchiha brothers.
Madara and Izuna had no intention of sneaking into Takigakure like thieves.
After all, they had agreed earlier to cause a stir that would make the entire ninja world tremble.
"Hey! This is no place for ordinary people. Leave immediately!"
The guards at Takigakure's gates weren't blind.
Seeing the two men approaching without headbands, they assumed they were civilians and tried to shoo them away.
"Wait, you—"
Bang!
When Madara and Izuna got closer, the guards caught sight of their eyes and immediately sensed something was wrong.
But it was too late.
In a split second, the brothers had cast their genjutsu.
"Nii-san, didn't we agree that this time I'd handle it?" Izuna complained, puffing his cheeks at Madara.
"Forgive me, Izuna. This is the last time," Madara said with a smirk, raising his left hand to tap Izuna's forehead affectionately.
"Honestly…" Izuna grumbled but didn't stay mad at his brother.
One could only wonder what Itachi and Sasuke would think if they saw this scene.
"Well then, it's my turn now, isn't it?"
Izuna cracked his neck and walked into Takigakure, observing its tranquil and slightly desolate atmosphere. He chuckled.
"Don't harm innocent civilians," Madara reminded him. "That's an Akatsuki rule."
"I know. I'm not one to kill indiscriminately," Izuna replied, waving his hand dismissively.
While the Uchiha clan might be proud and arrogant, they weren't bloodthirsty bullies. Unless provoked, they wouldn't bother showing off their strength to ordinary people.
Their pride wouldn't allow it.
"Who are you?! Sharingan? No, wait—that's not Sharingan!"
"But that man's emblem… It's the Uchiha clan's fan symbol."
"Are they Uchiha shinobi from Konoha?"
The ninja of Takigakure hesitated to act, uncertain about the situation. What if their leaders had secretly made a deal with the Uchiha from Konoha? Acting rashly could have severe consequences.
Moreover, there was something unsettling about the eyes of these two men.
Sharingan was familiar to the ninja world, but the brothers' Mangekyō Sharingan was entirely unfamiliar.
In this era, only Madara and Izuna had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. Others wouldn't appear until much later.
"Why are Konoha shinobi here?"
Finally, a figure of some authority among the Takigakure ninja stepped forward.
"I am Uchiha Izuna. I'm here to take the Seven-Tails. Tell me its location," Izuna declared bluntly.
Though his words sounded audacious, his actions left no room for doubt.
The Mangekyō Sharingan spun in Izuna's eyes, and the ninja who had stepped forward suddenly looked dazed.
"The Seven-Tails is in the southern valley of Takigakure," the man said in a trance.
"Damn it! Genjutsu!"
The other Takigakure ninja realized what had happened and quickly surrounded the brothers.
"How dare you act so arrogantly in Takigakure! Do you want to reignite the flames of war so soon after Konoha signed the peace treaty?!"
"Enough talk! Attack!"
Furious, the ninja charged at Madara and Izuna in a swarm.
Izuna handed his Pokémon egg to Madara and stepped forward, forming hand seals.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"
Boom!
A massive fireball, over ten meters in diameter, roared from Izuna's mouth, incinerating all incoming attacks and instantly reducing seven or eight ninja to ash.
It was clear that when used by the right person, the Great Fireball Technique was far from ineffective.
"This power… It's ridiculous!"
"Uchiha Izuna? Wait, isn't that Madara's brother?!"
"Madara has a brother who's still alive?"
"Hold on… Doesn't that man look just like the statue in the Valley of the End?!"
Recognizing their identities, the Takigakure ninja froze in terror.
The Valley of the End had two statues: one of Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, and the other of Uchiha Madara.
"Why are they still alive?"
"What do they want?"
Fear gripped every ninja present as they broke out in cold sweats.
Finally, one of them mustered the courage to step forward and plead.
"Wait! The Seven-Tails is in the southern valley. We have no intention of opposing you!"
The rest of the Takigakure ninja raised their hands in surrender.
"…Hmph."
Izuna was speechless.
He had been eager to stretch his muscles, only to have his opponents give up before the fight even began. It felt like preparing a grand attack only to find no target.
Still, as members of the Akatsuki, Madara and Izuna were bound by its rules. Senseless slaughter was forbidden.
"Let's go," Madara said, calling back his brother, whose face was flushed with frustration.
Reluctantly, Izuna followed. Though he had matured after his return, he couldn't help but feel disappointed by the anticlimactic encounter.
"Tch."
Izuna clicked his tongue, glancing disdainfully at the Takigakure ninja.
Though he was kind and selfless toward his clan, Izuna had little regard for outsiders.

Chapitre 303: Chapter 303
Chōmei, the Seven-Tails, was lounging as usual in its cozy nest—a massive tree trunk.
Suddenly, it felt an overwhelming wave of malice and a strong sense of danger. Alarmed, Chōmei instinctively flapped its six wings and tail, attempting to take flight.
But it was too late.
"Enton: Kagutsuchi!"
A blade of black flames descended from above, gripped by Izuna, and pierced straight into Chōmei's back.
Boom!
The force sent the giant Tailed Beast crashing to the ground, shaking the earth and scattering countless birds and animals in all directions.
"Roar!!"
The searing pain of the black flames and the stab wound made Chōmei writhe in agony.
Izuna leaped off Chōmei's back, landing calmly a dozen meters away. Blood was already dripping from his right eye—a clear sign he had activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Enton: Kagutsuchi
This ability allows the user to shape and control black flames for offense or defense, even integrating them into Susano'o.
It was famously used by Uchiha Sasuke in the original series. However, during the Edo Tensei arc, Tobirama mentioned that he had seen another Uchiha wield Kagutsuchi before Sasuke.
Given Tobirama's limited encounters with Mangekyō Sharingan, this likely referred to Izuna.
Madara's Mangekyō, on the other hand, lacked unique abilities, instead enhancing his physical prowess to extraordinary levels.
This enhancement allowed Madara's body to transcend the limits of a ninja, rivaling the strongest in the seafaring world Dak had mentioned.
Izuna, meanwhile, had one Mangekyō ability—Kagutsuchi—while the other eye shared Madara's physical enhancements, dramatically boosting his agility.
This physical prowess, combined with his natural swordsmanship talent and the Mangekyō's insight, earned Izuna the title "Flawless."
Interestingly, Sasuke's left eye Mangekyō granted a similar ability, which explained his exceptional close-combat skills and swordsmanship.
"Trying to escape, huh?"
Chōmei attempted to fly but hesitated, knowing it might not even get the chance.
"Hah! Even if we wanted a Jinchūriki, we wouldn't seal a cowardly weakling like you. I wouldn't want your pathetic nature rubbing off on me," Izuna taunted, his words dripping with disdain.
Chōmei roared in anger, gathering its chakra into a massive, dark purple ball in front of its antennae.
"A Tailed Beast Bomb? I see why you're considered weapons of war," Izuna mused, his tone slightly more serious.
He prepared for the attack, knowing it was powerful enough to require Susano'o to counter.
"Don't hold back, Izuna. We've got an audience," Madara called out, glancing toward the approaching ninja reinforcements.
Izuna nodded, dismissing any thoughts of restraint.
As the Tailed Beast Bomb hurtled toward him, Izuna's Mangekyō spun rapidly. Blood poured from his right eye as he summoned a massive black fireball to intercept the attack.
Boom!
The clash between the Tailed Beast Bomb and the fireball created a massive explosion, leveling the forest and igniting a sea of black flames.
Despite the chaos, Madara stood unmoved amidst the inferno, untouched by Izuna's flames. The fire might consume anyone else, but it would never harm his brother.
In the air, Izuna used the shockwave to propel himself toward Chōmei. The black flames swirling around him merged into his blade, extending it into a massive black longsword.
"That's the end"
Izuna shot forward like a hummingbird, slashing through Chōmei's six wings and leaving it with only its tail.
"Aaaaagh!!"
Chōmei's agonized cries echoed across Takigakure as it plummeted to the ground like a falling star.
The villagers could only stare in awe at the black flames cascading from the sky, resembling fleeting summer fireworks in the Land of Fire.
