Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 98 Is the Uchiha Clan About to Fall?

Butsuma waited quietly for Tajima's reaction, while Kuranosuke, standing to the side, couldn't even get a word in edgewise; he was equally utterly shocked...

How could he be so ruthless? This kind of undermining strategy is simply outrageous. He even went so far as to seek out that beast specifically for the sake of victory in the war?

Who told him the location? Is this kind of monster so easy to catch?

However, Kuranosuke's mind was filled with questions and shock, but none of them could be answered, because Tajima now had to make a decision...

"Chief! What do we do?"

"Yes, Chieftain, there are so many elderly people and children in our tribe... We can't just stand by and watch them die!"

Upon hearing this news, the surrounding tribespeople all became anxious. Although they didn't know what the monster was, they only wanted to return to their tribe as quickly as possible to provide support...

Tajima glared fiercely at Butsuma, remained silent for a moment, and then practically spat out a few words through clenched teeth...

"Retreat! You go first, I'll hold them off here!" Tajima rallied his spirits, drew his weapon, and confronted Butsuma once again.

The Buddha sneered, "You're quite self-aware, aren't you? You know I won't let you go so easily."

However, these words were devoid of any emotion. In the blink of an eye, Butsuma unleashed all of his chakra once more and attacked Tajima.

Tajima gritted his teeth, extremely annoyed.

He kept telling himself that he needed to stay calm...

clang!

Having withstood the blow from Butsuma, Tajima shouted without turning his head, "You all retreat quickly! I'll find a way to leave myself! Tenka, you go back quickly! Your eyes can control that monster!"

Uchiha Tenka, whose name was mentioned, was taken aback. He wanted to stay and fight alongside his clan leader, but Tajima's words forced him to begin his retreat...

The Mangekyou Sharingan, it's the ability to control that monster. Now, besides the clan leader, it seems like only I am left.

The remaining elders in the clan might possess the eye, but even if they did, they would be unable to fight anymore, and their eyesight would be nearly gone...

"Damn it! Let's retreat!"

Tianhu gritted his teeth. His friend Heyan was still in the clan's territory; he wondered how Heyan was doing...

Just as Tajima and Butsuma continued their exchange of blows, Tajima realized that the atmosphere had suddenly become a little strange... because it was so bizarre that the evacuation of the clansmen was going unusually smoothly.

He kept a close watch on them, trying his best to delay their people as much as possible, but Butsuma seemed to only care about himself, and the remaining Thousand Hands elites didn't seem to intend to stop their retreating clansmen.

In an instant, Tajima suddenly realized...

"Hehehe...Is it strange?" Buddha suddenly chuckled twice and said something cryptic.

"Ha, you...you went to all this trouble...just to kill me?"

Tajima laughed in anger; he now understood.

Previously, the combat strength was relatively balanced. Now that the elites of his clan have retreated to their territory, he and a small number of clan members and ninjas are left on the battlefield.

On the other hand, the Senju faction still had all its elite members on standby... The meaning of this is quite obvious.

"Once you die, your Uchiha clan, and that useless Hagoromo over there, will perish with you." The true intentions of the Buddha were revealed, and he directly confronted Tajima.

He had basically achieved his goal. He was confident that as long as he kept Tajima occupied, he wouldn't be able to get away from him easily.

"All personnel, listen to my command! Follow me and kill Uchiha Tajima!"

With a loud shout, more than a dozen elite Senju ninjas who were already in position instantly appeared and surrounded Tajima. Meanwhile, Kuranosuke was also surrounded by several elite Senju ninjas.

"You've really lost all shame, finally showing your true colors?" Tajima's heart sank, but he still didn't intend to show weakness.

Butsuma simply stared at Tajima with a somber gaze and explained calmly, "It doesn't matter. This war should have ended long ago. It's reasonable to sacrifice some unimportant things for the sake of peace."

"Is that so..."

Tajima seemed to have figured something out; the anger from before was gone from his face, replaced by a calm expression.

The heavy rain was still falling, showing no signs of stopping.

......

"Bandit, something seems to have happened over there!" Izuna said to Madara, perched on a tree, looking somewhat puzzled.

Gazing intently into the distance, Izuna strained to see the center of the battlefield. The heavy rain blurred his vision, but in his field of vision, Izuna seemed to see his clansmen retreating...

Ban frowned, then pulled Yan Yi up the big tree and squatted on a branch as well.

"It does seem a bit strange..."

Ban realized it was indeed his clansmen retreating... Had something happened? This battle had only just begun.

Yan Yi looked at the center of the battlefield with some worry, her mind a jumble of thoughts, not knowing what she was thinking.

He had been feeling uneasy ever since he left home, with a constant feeling that something bad was going to happen, and now the retreat of his people seemed to confirm his fears.

"Brother, should we retreat?" Yan Yi couldn't help but ask.

It's hard to say for sure; he needs to know the situation first. After all, explosions and flashes of light are still coming from the center of the battlefield from time to time, so it doesn't look like the battle is over.

Just as the brothers were struggling with their decision, a member of the Uchiha clan suddenly appeared behind them.

"Young masters, please come back to the clan with me quickly! There will be no fighting here for the time being, because something has happened in the clan's territory..."

"what?"

Ban turned his head, looking puzzled and even more frightened, and asked, "You mean... the clan's territory?"

"I don't know the specifics either, but we need to go back with Tianhuo and the others to provide support!"

The man looked extremely anxious, but Ban didn't suspect anything and simply grabbed his two younger brothers and jumped down from the tree.

Yan Yi was filled with questions. What on earth had happened to the clan's territory? Why was the entire clan being ordered to retreat and provide support...?

He was a little scared because subconsciously, he had a feeling of unease, as if... something bad was about to happen.

As the group sped along the path, nearing the clan's territory, Yan Yi's heart began to race faster and faster. The palpitations were almost overwhelming, forcing him to stop...

Wait a minute... Yan Yi suddenly realized where the problem was.

There was clearly fighting in the center of the battlefield just now; could it be that everyone has already returned to their tribes...?

Seeing Yan Yi suddenly stop, the others turned around in confusion, but Yan Yi suddenly asked, "We've retreated, but what about Father? Was the fighting still going on on the battlefield just now?"

"Well... the chieftain did tell us to evacuate. He said we'd be leaving shortly..."

As the tribesman continued speaking, everyone present suddenly realized what was happening.

Why was the Senju clan's territory suddenly attacked, especially in a way that forced them to send a large number of ninjas back to provide support? And what will the Senju clan do when they lack combat power on the main battlefield?

Moreover, this attack is probably not a coincidence... If it was the work of the Thousand Hands, then their purpose...

"No! We have to go back and help Father and the others!"

Ban suddenly realized that if the Senju disregarded martial ethics and joined forces to attack his father, the delicate balance of their stance would be broken, and his father would definitely be no match for their combined strength!

Izuna panicked at this point. The usually strong man finally showed the fear that comes with his age.

What do we do now...?

Their mother was in the clan's territory, along with many clansmen who were unable to fight, so the three brothers were naturally extremely worried. But on the battlefield, how could their father possibly escape unscathed from the encirclement?

Is the Uchiha clan going to fall completely today...?
