Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Is Chapter 45 really like this?

When the souvenir that Itama had given her fell out of her pocket, for a fleeting moment, a certain scene suddenly flashed through Yan Yi's mind...

"It can't be such a coincidence..."

Yan Yi was in a state of utter confusion. He didn't know what was going on in the battle over there, but his wildly beating heart seemed to be giving him a warning.

......

After a fierce battle, apart from Uchiha Tenka himself being almost unharmed, all the other teammates were injured, and the scene was a mess.

However, the members of the Thousand Hands Squad...

"Heh, when you captured Ami and killed him, did you ever imagine that you would be killed by me in the same way now?"

The crimson Sharingan in Tenka's eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light as he coldly stared at the Senju ninja he was trampling under his feet.

"Five people in total. That little Thousand Hands brat ran pretty fast, and you guys were quite righteous..."

Looking around the battlefield, the Senju four-man squad was basically incapacitated; some had been directly hit by fire-style attacks, while others were pinned to trees by giant shuriken...

There was also the one with countless knife wounds and the one that was standing under Tianhuo's feet, whose mind had been attacked by his Sharingan genjutsu.

The gap in strength is particularly obvious.

Although these individuals were already exceptionally strong elite ninjas of the Senju clan, the five members of the Uchiha clan were no weaker than them.

The leader of the team, Uchiha Tenka, was one of the top-ranked ninjas in the clan. The power of his Mangekyou Sharingan was far beyond what ordinary ninjutsu could achieve.

With a swift stroke, the blade fell... and the elite ninjas of the Senju clan perished.

"Skyfire, are we still going to chase after that brat?"

Having vented their hatred, the Uchiha members had calmed down considerably. Their primary task was not to deal with these troublesome matters, but to secretly protect the Third Young Master.

"He shouldn't have gone very far. Let's take care of him quickly, the longer it goes on, the worse it will be for us."

Tianhuo glanced at his wounded teammates around him, and couldn't help but feel worried...

Although they had just finished the battle, their teammates were not in good condition. If they encountered reinforcements from the Senju, it would be much more difficult for them to escape... and it would also bring unnecessary trouble to the Third Young Master.

The group acted swiftly, disappearing from their spot in a series of blinks. When they reappeared, they had already spotted Itama fleeing...

Itama's head throbbed with pain. He didn't know why he was doing this—killing, then being killed, and finally ending his boring and short life in vain...

Swah——

Several black-clad ninjas appeared in front of Itama in an instant, startling him and causing him great shock.

It seems... his teammates are most likely dead, and now he's all alone, facing five elite Uchiha ninjas...

Itama clutched the kunai, terrified, yet still making a final struggle...

Two kunai grazed Banma's cheeks and poked into the boulder behind him. Tianhuo let out a cold laugh.

"Heh, I had no idea, so he's a young master... I wonder if that old man in the Buddhist temple feels any pity when he finds out his son was killed?"

Tianhuo stared at Banjian expressionlessly, and quickly guessed most of his identity.

With his Sharingan activated, Tenka unleashed a merciless genjutsu attack.

In an instant, Itama seemed to see something terrifying, and the last trace of stubbornness and struggle on his face gradually turned into endless fear.

"Ah! Waaah...no..."

Tears welled up in his eyes from fear and struggle...

Heavenly Fire didn't waste any chakra; it was just a very simple genjutsu, which made the opponent keep replaying their most feared things in their mind.

What Itama saw was not being scolded and reprimanded by his father, nor being chased here... The only scene that kept replaying in his mind was the one where he pierced the eyes of that Uchiha boy with a kunai.

But somehow, the boy who died tragically turned into Yan Yi's appearance...

"No...no...waaaaah..."

He could no longer hold onto the kunai and it fell to the ground with a clang.

The armor, disproportionate to his size, pressed down on his frail body, making Itama appear utterly helpless...

Ninjas don't need people or mercy, and Tianhuo doesn't have the habit of tormenting losers or children like this. Although this Senju brat in front of him looks pitiful, he won't waver in the slightest.

Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself; if we don't kill him, more of our people and compatriots will likely die by his blade in the future.

Tianhuo drew the sword hanging from his waist...

Finally, following the traces of the battlefield, Kazuhiko's team found their way here and saw this scene from afar.

Yan Yi was utterly shocked. Forgetting everything else, she frantically grabbed He Yan's clothes, her eyes even revealing an unprecedented pleading look...

"Brother Heyan! Stop him! Hurry! Please!"

Kazuhiko was completely baffled, but since it was the Third Young Master's request, he didn't think too much about it and simply pulled out his kunai and threw it out.

clang--

The instant Tenka's blade struck, Kazuhiko's kunai landed precisely on Tenka's blade, deflecting the attack that was meant to pierce Itama's heart instead, and causing it to hit a rock instead.

"Ok?"

When Tianhuo turned around and saw that it was He Yan and the others, he became even more puzzled.

"Kazuhiko? What's wrong with you...?"

Kazuhiko appeared before Tenka in an instant, still panting, and hurriedly waved his hands...

"No...no, it seems the Third Young Master wants to spare his life, so I took the liberty of interrupting him..."

He carried Yan Yi and ran all the way, and even though he was in good physical condition, he felt a little tired. At this point, he could barely speak two sentences.

At this moment, Yan Yi had no other thoughts in her mind. Seeing Itama's miserable state, Yan Yi felt extremely sad...

Although he didn't know what had happened, he believed that Itama wouldn't easily hurt others.

But right now, my stance is that of an Uchiha clan member, and every word and action represents the Uchiha... If I want to report it to Itama under these circumstances...

Yan Yi didn't have much time; her mind raced...

"Third Young Master? You want to keep him? He's one of the murderers who killed our people!"

Tianhuo is puzzled. Is this Third Young Master an indecisive person? Why would he want to save an enemy?

Yan Yi knew, of course, that this was absolutely not going to work. Not only would Itama be killed, but his own situation would also become extremely bad.

What should I do...?

At this moment, Itama finally woke up from the illusion, but when he came to his senses and saw everything around him, shock and sadness instantly filled his heart.

Because he saw the little boy he had been thinking about day and night, the little boy he had rescued and cared for for many days...

Uchiha Genichi, however, was looking at him with an extremely cold and ruthless gaze and said, "You've misunderstood. I'm taking this guy back to the clan as a trophy from my first training trip."

"I'm sure I can gain a lot of useful information from him..."

As he spoke, he walked up to Banjian and punched him hard in the stomach.

"Wow!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth. Besides despair and disbelief, what remained in Itama's eyes was probably even more sadness and disappointment...

Is that really how it is, Yan Yi...
