Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 23, why does that back view look so familiar?

Before dawn, Yan Yi got out of bed on his own initiative because Brother Ban had something important to do today... He also knew that with his current abilities, there was no way to change anything. The only thing he could do was not to cause trouble for Brother Ban.

Ban was a little surprised to see Yan Yi get up on his own: "Hey Yan Yi, you're up so early today..."

"Hmm... Brother is going to war with Father today, isn't he..."

Yan Yi's voice was soft, but it revealed a deep sense of worry.

Go to the battlefield...

Yan Yi couldn't imagine that he was originally a good boy living in peace... Although he has now come to this chaotic ninja world, the thought of actually taking up a sword to kill and fight still makes him uneasy.

Although I know a little about the plot, like Madara being a chosen one... he definitely won't get into trouble here. But there are always exceptions, and I wonder if my appearance will cause any butterfly effect...

"Brother Ban..."

"Ok?"

"You must come back safely! I'll be waiting for you at home!"

"Yes, yes, I promise! And this time I'm mainly here to see a real battlefield with my father, I won't be fighting the enemy head-on, don't worry!"

Ban looked relaxed; he didn't want his younger brother to worry about him.

However, his words were not meant to comfort Yan Yi. This was one of the few times he had truly stepped onto the battlefield. Although someone was protecting him, anything could happen once he was on the battlefield, and he could not be careless in the slightest.

The worry that flashed across Yan's eyes quickly dissipated, and he cheered up and reached out to hug his older brother.

"Go for it, brother..."

Encouraged by his younger brother, Ban is in a great mood, as if he has inexhaustible energy.

He must remain calm and composed during this operation! He must return alive to bring good news to his two younger brothers!

......

The moment of departure arrived. The Uchiha clan had a considerable number of members ready for battle, if not a huge number. This included several hundred resident ninjas, not to mention many young ninjas.

This time, Tajima's organization is the largest ever, and he's determined to cripple the Senju clan completely... It's finally time to settle the scores of years of hatred...

"Nervous?" Tajima asked Madara without a trace of emotion in his voice, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

It's impossible for Ban not to be nervous, but he's very determined to grow quickly this time!

"Father, I'm alright!"

Madara's simple answer surprised Tajima. However, when he looked down and saw the determination in his son's eyes, he felt much more relieved...

As a father, he naturally knew who his son cared about most. Ban's ability to maintain a good state of mind was mostly due to his younger brother's encouragement.

"Alright! We must win and set a good example for your brothers!" Tajima's tone became more relaxed.

"I see!"

Tajima then spoke again and outlined the battle plan, and a large number of Uchiha clansmen were already ready to go.

The clansmen's eyes gleamed with a sharp light; they had waited so long, and finally, the perfect opportunity had arrived! Many of them harbored deep hatred for the Thousand Hands, and now they could finally take their revenge...

"For the glory of our race, we will surely achieve final victory!"

......

In the Senju clan's territory, Butsuma looked solemnly at the group of ninjas below the stage. He had been preparing for many days. And soon... it seemed the Uchiha clan was about to join forces with the Hagoromo clan to launch a full-scale attack on the Senju.

Although his capable subordinates had already devised an excellent tactic, ... this concerned the life and death of the Senju clan, so how could he not feel pressured?

Every decision he made concerned the fate of thousands of his clan members, and he dared not, and could not, make any wrong judgments. If this battle failed, it could very well mean that the Senju clan would be completely wiped out from the stage of history.

Just as he was silently contemplating the key points of the battle, a member of his tribe suddenly burst into the gathering.

"Chief! They...have arrived!"

A glint flashed in Butsuma's eyes. He immediately drew his sword and stood up, shouting to the Senju ninja below the stage, "Everyone, prepare for battle immediately! We absolutely cannot lose this battle! If we lose, the Senju clan will be wiped out completely! So we must win!"

Their eyes were filled with determination; even if they died on the battlefield, they would never let them near their homeland. Their parents, wives, and children still lived there... They had no way out.

Without needing further words from the Buddha, as the sound of numerous swords being drawn echoed, everyone present drew their weapons, and an eerie silence fell...

"Proceed according to plan..."

After uttering his last words, Buddha turned and walked out of the clan's territory. As the clan leader, he was to lead the clan's elite in battle on the front lines!

After the Buddha left, a large number of clansmen split into many small teams and dispersed, each going to their own assigned area.

At this moment... the four Senju brothers, who were in the last squad, all looked tense.

"Don't be afraid, my brother and I will protect you! I swear..."

Tobirama, clad in battle armor, was clearly in combat stance. Hashirama, however, fell silent. He truly didn't want to fight, but he had no other choice.

In order to protect his younger brothers from harm, he must take on the responsibility of being the eldest brother.

The third brother, Watama, was trembling all over. He was usually cheerful and always smiling, but he couldn't laugh anymore. This kind of battle was far too difficult for a child his age. However, almost all the ninjas in the village, and even the children who were still studying, had to be in battle mode. As the son of the clan leader, Butsuma, they had no reason to hide at home.

Itama was terrified, of course, but his feelings were more complex, and his face remained expressionless as he gripped his weapon tightly, his knuckles turning white...

Although they don't directly confront the enemy, their mission is by no means simple. Important intelligence on the battlefield relies on their squads to relay it to people elsewhere.

Although this mission may sound harmless and doesn't involve direct combat, the dangers of traversing various battlefields are self-evident.

Fortunately, their team was fairly large, and they only needed to complete the most basic tasks. Given their age and skill level, the other team members tried their best to avoid putting them at risk.

......

Clang! Bang—Boom!

The sounds of swords clashing and colliding, along with the explosions from ninja duels, disturbed the entire forest.

Countless trees were destroyed and felled, and thick smoke billowed above the battlefield. Along with the forest, countless lives were lost.

Blood stained the entire land, and severed limbs lay everywhere. Fire, lightning, water, and gale-force winds... a barrage of ninjutsu raged across the battlefield, reaping countless souls like a merciless reaper.

Butsuma and Tajima clashed with swords, neither willing to back down an inch!

"Tajima, you old codger who never gives up your wicked intentions, you've been plotting for so long, this time you've probably come out with all your might!"

"Heh... Buddha, what nonsense are you spouting? Your Senju clan is about to disappear, and victory will only belong to my Uchiha clan."

Despite both of them being injured and bleeding profusely, they still had the energy to mock each other.

Tajima's mood had deteriorated to the extreme. His seemingly foolproof battle plan had been completely outmaneuvered by the enemy. Although the casualties were still acceptable, the cost was far greater than originally anticipated!

That old fox, Fojian, is truly cunning; he has such a deep scheme...

Tajima was getting a terrible headache just thinking about the complete annihilation of his fourth squad. The terrain there had some strange plants, and to make matters worse, such a thick fog had rolled in...

I'm about the same strength as Senju Butsuma, but I can't defeat him in a direct fight. It's infuriating!

What's most infuriating is that when you try to break away and gain an advantage elsewhere, you're completely stuck with the other side and have no chance at all.

However, even though Tajima was in a bad mood, Butsuma was in an even worse mood now.

He could not allow Oshitajima to wander aimlessly on the battlefield, and even if his Senju clan suffered heavy casualties, he could not stop the attack.

His heart was bleeding at this moment... These were all his own people, and so many had died in one battle... Although death was common in this world, and countless people died in battle, the thought that they would never come back to life filled him with anger and sorrow.

But he was the clan chief! He couldn't waver in the slightest! They had all died gloriously in battle; his task was to lead his people to victory...

Butsuma and Tajima remained locked in a stalemate, neither able to extricate themselves from the situation. The only factor that could determine victory now rested entirely on their clansmen...

......

At the other end of the dense forest, Ban looked at the enemy in front of him with a solemn and angry expression. If they were to fight now, they would definitely not gain any advantage.

They were on their way to provide support when they were sniped by a small enemy squad, and now they're in a stalemate, neither side making the first move...

The squad leader gave Ban a look, then drew his sword and engaged in battle. The two sides were evenly matched, and the rest of the group followed suit.

Madara joined the battle at this moment. He understood the meaning behind that look earlier; it was probably a probe followed by an opportunity to retreat...

The situation is not good. Madara doesn't know what happened, but he's not stupid and realizes there might be a problem with this operation. So the best course of action now is to avoid prolonged fighting, find an opportunity to retreat, and then rejoin the main force.

Clang——

Just as Madara parried a blow from the guy opposite him, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure in the distance out of the corner of his eye. However, he didn't have the mind to think about it right now; he was already struggling to parry the opponent's attacks...

......

Hashirama traversed the battlefield, his mood at its lowest point.

He had accidentally gotten separated from his brothers because of the chaotic battle and the sudden burst of ninjutsu around him.

In this situation, although Hashirama believed he was quite agile and could easily retreat to safety on his own, the fatal flaw was that his younger brothers didn't have that ability! Even if he didn't have to worry about Tobirama, what about Kawarama and Itama?

Hashirama had no desire to fight to begin with; all he wanted now was to find his brothers as quickly as possible...
