Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 97 To Stand By and Watch Someone Die? Or to Abandon Them?

Just as the Tailed Beast Ball was about to completely raze the Uchiha clan's territory, a strange, twisting force suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of the high-speed, jet-black chakra ball.

In an instant, the two energies collided completely.

boom!!

"what!"

Kazuhiko instantly knelt on the ground, his head feeling as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. Blood began to flow from his eyes, nose, and even his mouth...

He had no idea what the mysterious power he had suddenly displayed was, and he just wanted to try to stop it, but unfortunately, he was not familiar with the newly opened kaleidoscope, and he only had one eye.

The vortex-like ability failed to absorb the Tailed Beast Ball, but only slightly deflected its trajectory.

Bang! ! !

In an instant, the sky suddenly darkened, and an extremely dazzling white light, too bright to look at directly, suddenly exploded on the mountaintop in the southwest corner of the Uchiha clan's territory.

The powerful shockwave immediately collapsed some nearby houses, and a large amount of falling rocks and scorching hot dust swept down...

The entire southwestern corner of the clan's territory was completely reduced to ruins due to a series of chain reactions.

Kazuhiko propped himself up, his eyes vacant as he stared at the destroyed area, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe.

His consciousness was gradually fading; the momentary overexertion of his pupil power had pushed him to his limit...

"I'm sorry, Chieftain..."

His vision went black, and He Yan collapsed to the spot. But he was only a few dozen meters away from the ferocious beast...

Nine-Tails' heart skipped a beat as it saw its prized attack miss its mark. It glanced with displeasure at the human lying nearby...

"That's interesting... those eyes, aren't those the eyes of the descendants of the Six Paths Elder?"

The Nine-Tails was completely baffled. Those red eyes seemed to be the state the Sage of Six Paths had before evolving into the Rinnegan.

However, Kurama did not decide to let them go. He wanted to teach them a lesson... After all, times have changed, and the ninjas of today are no longer the peaceful people they were during the Ninja Clan era.

Greed, war, profit, hatred, killing and being killed... these are all human sins and punishments.

The charged attack missed, but Kurama (the Nine-Tails) didn't intend to launch a second attack. Instead, it began to wield its nine enormous, blade-like tails, while simultaneously brandishing its sharp fangs and claws, and started destroying the buildings on the Uchiha clan's territory...

Kazuhiko remained where he was, but luckily, Kurama did not choose to kill him.

Because the Nine-Tails isn't stupid, he wants to take advantage of the fact that no one can stop him and wreak havoc as soon as possible! He'll repay all the humiliation and injustice he suffered before!

Moreover, he knew that there were people in the ninja world who could subdue him. For example, the middle-aged man with the white cloth strip on his head was extremely hateful!

Boom—

The sounds of houses collapsing were incessant, and dust billowed throughout the entire clan's territory.

Some ninjas tried to stop them, but were sent flying by a single claw from the Nine-Tails... Most of the ordinary clansmen who had reacted had already begun to flee for their lives, while the remaining ninjas were still putting up a stubborn resistance.

There's still a small group of people... desperately rushing towards the battlefield!

This matter is far too serious; the clan leader must take charge. That monster is not something an ordinary ninja can defeat.

......

On the battlefield, Butsuma calmly dealt with Tajima's attack, a cold smile creeping onto his face as he looked into the opponent's bloodshot eyes...

These envious people will soon be nothing more than dust in history. When that time comes, we must gouge out all their eyes and keep them as spoils of war! Kill them all, regardless of age or gender!

Tajima had no idea what Butsuma was thinking. He just felt that the atmosphere today was very strange, and Butsuma seemed to be too quiet.

Tajima frowned, quickly creating some distance between them, and looked at his opponent with a serious expression.

"Buddha... what are you up to? Are you giving up because you know you can't win?" Tajima asked Buddha as usual.

But Butsuma remained completely unmoved, his gaze fixed coldly on Tajima as if he were looking at a dead man. Yet, a hint of mockery lurked in his eyes, as if he were waiting to see a joke played on him...

Tajima's face darkened. Seeing Butsuma's expression, he felt his heart suddenly pound.

"Something must have happened! Damn it..."

Just as he was considering whether to retreat, Fojian launched another attack, as if deliberately trying to stall him.

The two sides continued to fight, while the Uchiha and Senju clansmen around them also continued to fight, with some Hagoromo clansmen mixed in as well.

Elite ninjas versus elite ninjas, ordinary ninjas versus ordinary ninjas—everything seemed so normal...

However, in this battle that was no different from before, a voice suddenly came from afar and grew closer.

"...Chieftain!...Quickly!...!"

The man shouted as loudly as he could, his Sharingan eyes, each with two tomoe, almost piercing through the entire battlefield.

He ran like a madman, covering a distance that would have taken him over an hour to reach the battlefield in just twenty minutes...

"Ok?"

Tajima frowned. He recognized the voice; it belonged to a ninja who stayed behind in the clan's territory. How did he end up here?

Unwilling to continue fighting with the old dog, Tajima sidestepped, slashing at Butsuma with his sword while simultaneously forming a hand seal with his other hand.

The next second, Tajima threw a fireball, and Butsuma also formed hand seals and erected an earthen wall. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tajima instantly teleported away, returning to the Uchiha group.

The ninja who had run all the way from the clan's territory was now deathly pale, on the verge of collapse. His clothes were tattered, and his body was covered in scrapes and abrasions; he looked extremely disheveled...

"Chief...Chief! Our territory has been attacked...We...We have so many dead! You must...you must go back!"

He uttered those two breathless sentences, as if he had used up all his strength. He was being supported, his fingers gripping Tajima's sleeve tightly.

Upon hearing this, Tajima's expression changed drastically, and he shouted in disbelief, "How is this possible! Aren't almost all the Senju here? Who would attack our clan's territory?"

The sound was loud; even the distant Buddha had his sword slung over his shoulder, watching Tajima with a cold smile, without choosing to attack.

He wanted to see the Uchiha clan make a fool of themselves, to see whether they would choose to abandon their teammates or their clan.

"No...no! It's a gigantic monster! Nine tails, orange-red...it looks like a fox..."

"What did you say!!!"

Tajima nearly fainted; he felt his blood surging and his vision going black.

Nine-tailed Fox...

He knew what it was in an instant, but wasn't it a legendary creature? How could it suddenly appear near his territory? And why was it causing such destruction and slaughtering his people?

Tajima was completely baffled, but in that instant, his eyes caught sight of Senju Butsuma, who was standing not far away watching the spectacle with a mocking expression...

"It's you...? Senju Butsuma! You're so vicious!"

Tajima was furious. That old dog would stop at nothing to achieve their so-called victory...

Butsuma's face turned cold. He picked up his weapon again and said in a calm tone, "Heh... I've said it before, today is the day your Uchiha clan perishes. You are nothing but a dying man. Victory can only belong to my Mori clan."

Tajima's eyes were practically spitting fire; he gritted his teeth, wishing he could devour the other man alive.

Seeing his expression, Fojian felt extremely pleased and, seizing the opportunity, delivered another blow...

"Tell me... are you going to stand by and watch your clansmen die, or are you going to abandon the ninjas who have fought alongside you through thick and thin?"
