Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara

Read 20+ Chapter's Ahead in Patreon

On the western border of the Land of Fire, there exists a clan as prominent as the Hyuga:

The Fūma Clan.

Known for their combative nature, the Fūma Clan consists of formidable warriors with ambitions of expanding into the Land of Fire's heartland.

However, standing in their way is the Uchiha Clan, an opponent of overwhelming strength.

To guard against the Fūma Clan, the Uchiha kept a battalion stationed on the western border, even during their climactic battle against the Senju.

The current Fūma leader, Yukishi Fūma, is a fearsome figure with immense strength befitting a clan head.

He had long desired to partake in the Land of Fire's power struggle, but as the war concluded, the opportunity never arose.

Frustrated, Yukishi shifted his sights to other nations—particularly a small, conflict-averse country.

"Report to the clan leader! News has arrived," a subordinate announced, knocking on Yukishi's door.

Taking the detailed report, Yukishi learned of the year-long turmoil in the Land of Rain.

A year ago, a mysterious faction invaded the Land of Rain, dismantled its Damiyo regime, and took control of the nation.

The borders were sealed; few outsiders knew what transpired within.

The Fūma Clan had paid a steep price to obtain this intelligence, but their efforts finally bore fruit.

As Yukishi carefully read the report, he muttered, "It seems your judgment was correct."

"Of course," came a voice from within the room.

Yukishi's shadow quivered, and half of his face became shrouded in darkness.

It seemed as though his shadow had come alive.

"Black Zetsu, is this the 'Moon Clan' you spoke of?" Yukishi Fūma asked in a low voice.

"Hehehe, none but them could wield such astonishing puppet techniques," Black Zetsu replied.

"No, this has surpassed the realm of puppetry—it's more like a form of divine artistry," Yukishi murmured, awe evident in his tone.

The shadow was none other than Black Zetsu, the will of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and the mastermind behind countless calamities in the shinobi world.

Manipulating wars and reviving his mother required a strong ally.

The Fūma Clan was a product of Black Zetsu's grooming, with Yukishi as his handpicked disciple. The clan leader followed Black Zetsu's instructions without question.

In fact, Black Zetsu had long since uncovered the inner workings of the Land of Rain.

Having survived since ancient times, Black Zetsu possessed countless hidden powers, including a small number of White Zetsu clones.

Though lacking in combat capability, these clones excelled in intelligence gathering, able to infiltrate even under the Five Kage's watchful eyes—a testament to their effectiveness.

The reason Black Zetsu had Yukishi Fūma conduct the investigation was simple: it intended to leverage the Fūma Clan's strength to rekindle the flames of war in the Land of Fire.

If the Senju and Uchiha refused to fight, then external forces would force their hand.

As the embodiment of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's will and her so-called third child, Black Zetsu had one greatest fear—anything related to his two "brothers."

During the era of the Ninja Sect, he acted with extreme caution, avoiding any overt schemes. After enduring countless years, when the Ninja Sect finally dissolved, Black Zetsu thought it could live peacefully for a while.

However, its brief respite was shattered when it discovered that the descendants of its second brother had returned from the moon.

Indeed, the "Moon Clan" Black Zetsu referred to was none other than the Ōtsutsuki on the moon, who had descended to the Earth seeking vengeance against the Hyūga—and by extension, the entire shinobi world.

The reason for sealing the Land of Rain and barring entry or exit was simple: Ōtsutsuki Sugito intended to amass a puppet army to exact his revenge.

Realizing this, Black Zetsu hatched a new plan: why not align the Fūma Clan with the Moon Clan to reignite a war against the Uchiha?

War was the only way to temper the brothers Black Zetsu was manipulating, guiding them toward his ultimate design.

As for obstacles, Black Zetsu had contingencies for those as well, including the troublesome child adept in space-time ninjutsu.

By using a White Zetsu clone to impersonate the Uzumaki princess, Black Zetsu lured him into a carefully crafted trap. The space-time seal used to confine him was, of course, Black Zetsu's handiwork.

As a creation of pure spiritual energy and the ultimate manifestation of yin chakra, no one rivaled Black Zetsu in sealing techniques.

Even the founding of the Land of Whirlpools by Uzumaki Ashina was part of his machinations.

While it served immediate political purposes, its true intent was to lay the groundwork for the eventual eradication of the Uzumaki Clan.

From Fūma Yukishi to Uzumaki Ashina, Black Zetsu had strings on countless families and factions across the ninja world.

Peace?

That was nothing but an illusion.

Under Black Zetsu's manipulation, Fūma Yukishi decided to send emissaries to the Land of Rain to discuss an alliance with the Moon Clan, aiming to take down the Uchiha Clan.

The environment of the Land of Rain was harsh and its population sparse—nothing like the resource-rich Fire Country.

However, with Black Zetsu's influence, Fūma Yukishi believed that he could swiftly help his allies establish a puppet army.

The plan was to first destroy the Uchiha, then annihilate the Senju, and finally, eliminate the Hyūga.

With that, they would dominate the Land of Fire and set their sights on unifying the entire ninja world.

It wasn't that Fūma Yukishi was foolish; rather, Black Zetsu had been subtly planting these ideas in his mind since his childhood, convincing him that he was the chosen one, destined to end the chaos and bring about a great new era.

"There's no time to waste. Let's set off now," Fūma Yukishi said.

"Agreed," responded his ally.

For the Moon Clan, their goal was clear: revenge on the entire ninja world.

However, Ōtsutsuki Sugito soon discovered that things were not as easy as he had imagined.

The shinobi world, spurred by the Shinobi Sect's legacy, had evolved. Advanced jutsu emerged, leaving even him astonished.

The Moon Clan's reliance on green energy orbs seemed laughably outdated.

After suffering losses, Sugito decided to amass more puppets and learn shinobi techniques.

So when Yukishi offered aid, Sugito agreed readily.

"Fool. Did you think my goal was mere revenge on the Hyuga?" Sugito sneered inwardly.

Both leaders believed they were manipulating the other, oblivious to Black Zetsu's masterful strings.

Elsewhere, Uzumaki Mito wandered the shinobi world.

Half a year into her travels, the Uzumaki princess had essentially run away from home.

Ever since learning of her father's actions, she had been contemplating leaving her clan.

At the very least, this princess wanted to confirm if Kyosuke was still alive.

Following various leads, she discovered a mysterious figure operating in the underground bounty system—a figure resembling Kyōsuke.

Though others might not notice, Mito had spent enough time with him to spot familiar traits.

"Please let it be you," she whispered.

Yet, before she could find him, Mito caught the unwanted attention of human traffickers.
