Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 44 Should I run away?

Without giving Itama time to suffer, the captain grabbed Itama by the collar and began a rapid retreat.

Having experienced the feeling of killing for the first time, Itama was in a daze. His face was expressionless, with only tears streaming down his face.

When he placed the knife in front of the boy, he truly saw the fear and resentment in the boy's eyes.

Those beautiful eyes, like black gemstones, were pierced by the sharp blade in his own hand... This feeling of destroying something beautiful filled him with a strong sense of sorrow.

The team, with Itama in tow, continued searching for their next target, giving him absolutely no time to catch his breath.

Ninjas need no mercy. The clan leader's task was to make this young master completely abandon all his kindness.

In this era, as the son of the Senju clan chief, he must set an example for his clan.

......

Shortly after the Senju group left, another group of people suddenly appeared in the same spot, dressed in black, high-collared clothing. Without exception, they all wore large flame fan-shaped clan emblems embroidered on their backs...

They were the team sent by Tajima to secretly protect Yan Yi, yet this had happened right under their noses.

"Damn it! I'm too late..."

The five people had crimson glints in their eyes, and all that remained was undisguised rage; their hatred had reached its peak.

Eyes... hold immense significance for the Uchiha clan. In this situation, it's clear they were already powerless to resist and were brutally murdered.

Their eyes were completely destroyed, and their carotid arteries were all severed. Even if they didn't die instantly, they definitely wouldn't survive a minute.

"At this rate, Young Master Yan might run into them. These people are clearly not ordinary ninjas. To avoid unnecessary trouble, we should take action..."

All five were elite ninjas of the Uchiha clan, all seasoned veterans with the three-tomoe Sharingan, and the captain had even awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan...

With a flash, the five of them vanished from their spot. They were now on their way to pursue someone; such hatred was absolutely intolerable!

......

"Captain, we've been discovered..."

The Senju clan's squad had barely left when they noticed people chasing them, but they weren't worried because there were practically no particularly powerful enemies in this remote corner.

"Perfect...it saves us from having to search for the next target. Our young master still needs some more training."

Despair flickered in Itama's eyes. He truly didn't want to kill anymore; even now, his hands were still trembling uncontrollably...

Hearing the captain's words, colder than ice, he felt for the first time... that his Senju clan was nothing more than a bunch of hypocrites...

It's said that the Mori clan upholds benevolence and peace, but now, in their pursuit of so-called "growth," they're constantly searching for ordinary Uchiha clan members...

Finally, when they were powerless to resist, he had to torture and kill them with his own hands... This twisted and perverse mentality made him feel that he was truly out of place with this race.

Itama was powerless to resist; he could do nothing.

Whether it's the captain or the father, they are both forcing themselves to kill, forcing themselves to become machines born for hatred and war.

They stopped walking, and the Senju group began to lay in ambush, waiting for the moment their opponent appeared before they planned to repeat the same steps they had taken earlier...

It's getting closer...

The moment the first figure in black appeared, the expressions of the four Senju ninjas, excluding Itama, changed drastically.

The five people who appeared one after another were not the small fry they had mentioned, but rather the most famous and powerful ninjas in the opposing group.

Their status within the clan is probably similar to that of Senju Sakura and others in their own clan...

"It's Uchiha Tenka! Retreat!"

Without hesitation, all the ambushes were triggered instantly. Even though the number of people was equal, their strength was not proportional at all!

We should run as far as we can now, and have absolutely no intention of starting a fight.

The leader of the Uchiha group was naturally Uchiha Tenka, whom they called Uchiha Tenka. As one of the few super-strong ninjas in the clan who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, his strength was beyond doubt.

At this moment, a cold glint flashed in Tianhuo's eyes. Seeing the trap set by the Thousand Hands, the anger in his heart burned even brighter...

"They killed our people and still want to leave... Ah Mi is only fourteen years old. He's not particularly talented and has never even killed anyone before. He was only responsible for simple tasks like transporting supplies..."

Tianhuo was furious. He recalled the boy who seemed a little clumsy but was also very cheerful... just now, he had become a cold corpse.

That boy always stubbornly insisted that he would become very powerful after opening his eyes, but the reality was... he never had that chance again.

With a burst of eye power, the five Uchiha simultaneously activated their Sharingan, throwing the giant shuriken carried on their backs and beginning to form hand seals...

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

A massive heatwave instantly engulfed everything in sight, turning vast swathes of trees into charcoal before they could even catch fire.

"Damn it, why is this guy here?!"

The captain of the Senju faction was covered in sweat. He had been easily slaughtering the enemy's clansmen, but he never expected that the situation would turn around in just a few minutes.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

Without a moment to think, he immediately began forming hand seals to defend himself.

If he were grazed by the opponent's fire jutsu, he would definitely not be able to escape unscathed.

Itama sensed the firelight behind him and immediately realized... the Uchiha were chasing after him.

His mind was a complete mess. Having just suffered a blow, he had absolutely no judgment. Looking at his tense teammates, he didn't know what to do.

"Young Master, you should run first. Retreat along the planned route; you should be able to find reinforcements..."

"Indeed, young master, you should go first. Staying here will only get in the way..."

Itama froze. He didn't know if he should run away, but if he didn't, just like his teammates said, he would only be in the way...

"I..."

Before Banjian could utter a word, the captain glared at him fiercely and shouted, "Get the hell out of here! You're nothing but trash now. Staying here is no use except waiting to die!"

He was incredibly annoyed. This young master was utterly disappointing to him. He really wanted to tell him bluntly that the other party had no talent whatsoever as a ninja.

Itama had nothing to say, because that was the truth... Running away was the only thing he could do now.

......

boom--

The deafening explosions echoed throughout the forest, sending plumes of thick smoke billowing out. Even from a great distance, the battle taking place was now visible.

"Brother Heyan!"

Yan Yi was startled. The explosion wasn't too far from where she was. If it had happened to be her own clansmen fighting, the Uchiha clan would never have stood idly by.

Kazuhiko frowned slightly. The chakra fluctuations coming from that direction were undoubtedly those of his friend Tenka. They were supposed to be the hidden agents in this mission, so why were they fighting now?

"Tsk..." Kazuhiko hesitated, but decided to go and take a look anyway.

"Third Young Master, let's go take a look."

Kazuhiko made the decision casually. He believed in Uchiha Tenka's strength, and with Tenka's five-man team plus his own, there were a total of nine elite Uchiha ninjas!

This isn't a frontal battlefield. If they can't even protect the Third Young Master, then they might as well all commit seppuku.

Yan Yi nodded, about to agree, when the small knife in her pocket suddenly fell out. In an instant, Yan Yi suddenly thought of something, her heart pounded, and her eyes widened.

Seeing Yan Yi's face suddenly turn pale, He Yan thought that Yan Yi was a little scared.

"Third Young Master? Don't worry, we'll protect you..."

Yan Yi quickly picked up the knife, put it back in its case, and shouted in a hurried tone, "I'm fine! Let's go quickly! Hurry!"

He Yan was a little confused, but without hesitation, he picked up Yan Yi. Then, everyone's pace suddenly quickened, and they ran rapidly towards the explosion site...
