Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 185 Why hasn't everything disappeared yet?

"You...run!" Yan Yi was struck dumb upon hearing Wu's ninjutsu.

Dust Release... it certainly doesn't cause pain. But if you get hit, there's absolutely no chance of survival. Itama and Momoka are barely in better shape than me, maybe...

Yan Yi drew his sword and charged at Wu again. This was his final blow; if he could block it... even with his own body, even if it meant delaying for just one more second, perhaps... he could wait for reinforcements.

A white cube appeared in Wu's palm. It wasn't moving very fast; in fact, it was quite visible. He had to take advantage of this opening to attack him!

Just as Yan Yi drew his sword and charged forward, Itama suddenly shouted, "I can't accept this!"

"We've endured so much suffering together, I should have died long ago on the day we were surrounded and killed by the Uchiha... But... I've lived until now, I've fallen in love with someone... I've gained the same power as my older brother. This power... was meant to protect you..."

As Banjian spoke, his voice, though tinged with tears, carried an overwhelming sense of resolve.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

Before Yan Yi could react, Itama directly overdrawn his life force, gathering all the remaining chakra in his body and releasing it.

The wooden dragon rushed towards Wu at lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had overtaken Yan Yi. Then, Ban Jian jumped over in two steps, and the wooden dragon under his feet was still growing wildly from the soil.

This is the eldest brother's signature ninjutsu; even at the cost of his life, he will block the opponent's attack.

Yan Yi had no idea that Itama shared the same thought... even if it meant delaying things for just a little longer...

"Are you crazy! You'll die if this continues!" Seeing Itama's chakra suddenly surge like a floodgate being opened, Momoka was extremely anxious and rushed forward.

They were all members of the Senju clan, and their understanding of life force was far more profound than that of other clans. At this very moment... in Momoka's vision, Itama's life force was rapidly draining away. If this continued, even though he had once possessed the life force of the clan leader Hashirama, something was definitely going to happen to him!

He stared blankly at the wooden dragon before him, his Dust Release technique already launched, colliding completely with the dragon.

boom!!

A loud explosion suddenly resounded through the sky, and the strong resonance even made everyone present's heart skip a beat.

Wu wasn't worried about what trouble this black-and-white-haired kid could cause. In the battle just now, he had a complete understanding of the kid's Wood Release strength, which was still quite far from the legendary Hashirama Senju.

The Dust Release beam mercilessly tore everything in its path. The wooden dragons relentlessly crashed against the beam, but like melting snow in spring, they were all reduced to atoms...

Sharp, piercing sounds rang out continuously. Itama clasped his hands together, gritting his teeth as he poured chakra into his body. His face was turning pale, and his breathing became heavy... but he showed no sign of giving up.

"Itama, stop! Don't continue, you'll die!" Yan rushed over and grabbed Itama's arm, tears streaming down her face.

But for some reason, and from where Itama got such strength, Yan Yi gripped his arm, yet couldn't move an inch...

"Please, Banban... don't do this! I still have a way!"

"..."

As its life force continued to rapidly diminish, the final wooden dragon crashed into the enemy, and the Dust Release pillar of light finally dissipated...

Wu coldly watched the dissipating dust and the wooden dragons that had been blasted into pieces, a strange and ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

After the clash of ninjutsu ended, Itama was pale-faced and collapsed to the ground, unable to even maintain his standing position...

"How about it, Yan Yi... I'm pretty good, right?" Itama said somewhat reluctantly.

He didn't even know why he said such things at a time like this, when the crisis was far from over. But... at least he was of some use and could protect him.

Yan Yi didn't know what to say. His face was expressionless, his mouth was slightly open, and tears were streaming down his cheeks. His anger and confusion had reached their peak.

Why this? Why war... Why invasion? Why shatter our hard-won peace... Why hasn't everything disappeared yet...?

He made no further moves, simply staring coldly at the three child ninjas, the chill in his eyes almost overwhelming the surrounding air.

"It's been delayed for too long..." Wu muttered to himself, "It really should end now."

Itama felt a little dizzy, and Yan Yi held him tightly. Tao Hua watched the opposite side warily...

"Wait..." Tao Hua's heart skipped a beat, because she suddenly realized that there were only four enemies in her field of vision. Where did the other enemy go?

She wasn't in good shape either; after the smoke cleared, she didn't even react immediately...

"Watch out!!" Tao Hua exclaimed, drawing her sword immediately.

In her line of sight, a ninja who appeared as if he were invisible suddenly appeared behind Yan Yi. If it weren't for the sunlight reflecting off the raised blade, Tao Hua wouldn't have even noticed him.

"Hehe... It's over..." The enemy who used camouflage suddenly thrust his blade down.

puff-

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out. Yan Yi was horrified to find that he was suddenly tackled to the ground by Itama, who was struggling. At that moment, Itama braced his hands on the ground on either side of his neck, blocking him from above.

Meanwhile, Itama's gaze remained fixed on Genichi, watching the three tomoe slowly rotating in his eyes.

"Yan Yi, your eyes are very beautiful..."

After Banma finished speaking, a drop of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth and landed on Yan Yi's cheek.

"Boardboard...?" Yan Yi was completely stunned at this moment.

How he wished it were all just a nightmare. The gleaming blade pierced through the board's back, through his chest, and pressed against Yan Yi's chest. But the blade stopped, not advancing any further...

When Tao Hua launched her attack, the enemy had completely vanished, and her attack missed. Moreover, the enemy who had just launched the attack had returned to Wu's side, coldly watching the three of them.

Torture...blatant torture. Compared to Wu's icy expression, his looked more playful, even gloating. A sinister grin—that word perfectly described him at that moment.

He felt a great sense of pleasure; it seemed that torturing and killing these child ninjas gave him more satisfaction than fighting between ordinary ninjas.

Itama jolted, then collapsed to the side. Momoka dropped her weapon and rushed to catch Itama.

The knife that pierced his body gleamed as it emerged from his chest. At that moment, Momoka also cried... She desperately tried to heal him and stop the bleeding with her medical ninjutsu, but she couldn't save him from this penetrating wound.

"I'm sorry..." Tao Hua apologized while tears streamed down her face, the green light in her hand flickering. "It's all my fault for not paying attention...it's all my fault...I'm so sorry, sob sob sob..."

"How...how could this happen? Banban...my Banban." Yan Yi had also recovered from the shock and scrambled over to Tao Hua. Looking at Banban in her arms, her voice was completely broken.

He had no time to watch them cry here. He raised his hand and waved it lightly, humming, "That's it. They're doomed anyway."

"clear."

Four ninjas charged at once, this time without even using camouflage. Given the current situation, there was no doubt that these three brats were going to die here.

Several kunai were thrown first, their target being the throats of Tao Hua and Yan Yi... The sharp blades pierced the air, reaching them in an instant...

There was no time to react, because they were powerless to resist.

Clang!! Clang!!

Two sharp sounds of clashing weapons suddenly rang out, sparks flying, and then a white-haired figure in blue armor appeared before the three. The light was too bright for them to make out the figure clearly, but they knew it was all too familiar.

A black-haired boy also appeared in front of the three of them in an instant. He looked at the four ninjas opposite him and Wu standing further away, his eyes red as if they were about to drip blood.

He gritted his teeth, and even his voice trembled...

"How dare you... how dare you..."
