Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 38: Could the situation be changing?

Yan Yi was somewhat at a loss.

Logically speaking, ever since he was "captured" and lost for ten days, neither his brothers nor his father have allowed him to leave the clan's territory again. Why is he suddenly being asked to go out and gain experience again this time?

Tajima hesitated for a moment, his expression suggesting a difficult decision, before saying, "You do need to grow, but our time is also very limited..."

Yan Yi's heart skipped a beat when she realized the unspoken meaning in her father's words.

What do you mean by "limited time"? Does Father sense that the current situation might change?

Although Yan Yi was unclear about what would happen next, her father's early preparations for her to grow up were exactly what she wanted.

Without much hesitation, Yan Yi nodded and agreed, "I understand, Father!"

"Alright, we expect to organize some small-scale probes in a while. You can have Kazuhiko accompany you; there shouldn't be too much danger. The main purpose is to let you quickly familiarize yourself with everything on the battlefield..."

When Tajima uttered the word "battlefield," his eyes trembled slightly.

He truly couldn't bear it, but there was nothing he could do.

The Uchiha clan desperately needs new blood, and even though his son is still young, he has no choice but to fight for the survival of the clan...

If the clan fails, Yan Yi's fate will naturally not be optimistic.

Tajima left.

The excitement from Yan Yi's ninjutsu training had faded, and he was now lost in thought, a state unbecoming of his age...

Kazuhiko didn't disturb him, but silently walked to the side and sat down, quietly observing the boy.

In He Yan's opinion, Yan Yi's younger brother's talent was truly outstanding; in less than a month, he had already cultivated to this level.

If it were a battlefield... even if it weren't a large-scale battle involving direct confrontation, he believed Yan Yi could handle all situations correctly.

Yan Yi thought for a long time before turning around and smiling at He Yan: "Brother He Yan, since we're going to go and gain some experience, then I need to work even harder to cultivate!"

Kazuhiko was taken aback, and stood up as well.

"Alright, then I'll share some of my combat experience with you..."

......

Itama remained silent.

Fojian was furious. He never expected that his seemingly quiet youngest son would be so stubborn.

Although he regretted losing his temper with his youngest son, in all fairness, Itama had indeed committed the most intolerable mistake in the clan.

Killing him now is too much to bear, and it would bring me the stigma of patricide... But trying to make him understand and change his mind is futile, as he refuses to back down.

"Damn it, I wonder what kind of spell that damned Uchiha brat cast on him..."

Butsuma could not accept this. It was a stain on the honor of the Senju clan and a contempt for the enemy... He absolutely could not accept such a thing!

Suppressing his agitation, Fojian decided to keep that rebellious son locked up for a while longer.

He was currently in a state of utter panic. The current situation felt rather strange. During the last full-scale attack by the Uchiha on the Senju, the Hagoromo clan, who should have joined forces with the Uchiha, seemed to be behaving abnormally...

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that no one was a fool; everyone understood that during that battle, the Feathered Clan seemed to have taken advantage of the chaos.

The Hagoromo clan's strength was not as great as the Senju and Uchiha clans, but it was definitely not bad either.

The possibility that they didn't fully cooperate with the Uchiha in attacking the Senju clan's territory was not something Butsuma would assume, as it was a sudden change of heart on the part of the Senju to help them eliminate the evil Uchiha. He likely believed they were trying to preserve their strength and secretly develop their power...

Therefore, Butsuma should seize this opportunity to launch a major attack on the Uchiha clan while they are secretly on guard against the Hagoromo clan...

After briefly considering the various possibilities that might occur in the future, Fojian stood up and walked out of the assembly hall.

He needed to send people out to gather intelligence so that he could make the best possible response.

After navigating several winding paths and bypassing a few houses, Fojian arrived alone at a doorway.

dong dong dong-

The door opened just seconds after the knocking.

The girl who opened the door looked to be around ten years old, with black hair tied in a ponytail, thin eyebrows, and slightly upturned eyes...

"Uncle Chieftain! Are you here to see my mother?"

Buddha forced a smile, gently patted the girl's head, and asked, "Little Peach Blossom, you look beautiful today too. Is your mother home?"

"Okay! Mom is reading in the study... I'll go call her for you!" The girl said, then turned and ran into the room.

The girl was Senju Sakura's daughter, Senju Momoka.

If Hashirama and his brothers saw their father looking so kind, they would probably be quite startled... After all, Butsuma always had a serious expression at home and almost never said anything nice to his brothers.

Fojian actually had some regrets, it was a pity that all four of his children were sons, and he never had a daughter...

Thinking of this, Fojian got angry again. His youngest son was such a rebellious son. He really regretted having him!

Before long, Senju Sakura quickly walked from the room to the door.

Despite wearing a typical women's kimono, her shrewdness and competence remained undiminished when facing the Buddha, and her hair was still tied up in a high ponytail.

"Clan leader, are there any new developments?" Yinghua didn't exchange any pleasantries with Fojian and went straight to the point.

"That's true. I plan to organize more people to investigate the movements of the Feathered Robe Clan. The situation may change next."

After the Buddha finished speaking, a hint of melancholy appeared in his eyes, which Yinghua keenly noticed.

The clan chief almost never showed that look in his eyes when facing war. Could there be something else going on right now?

Thinking of this, Yinghua could only tentatively ask, "Clan leader, is there something else on your mind?"

Fojian was taken aback. He did indeed have something on his mind, and it was something troubling. But this was a family scandal, a disgrace to the clan, so Fojian naturally wouldn't say it out loud.

"It's alright, come to the meeting place if you're free tonight..."

After finishing his words, the Buddha turned and left without making any further moves.

He was naturally anxious; the situation was unclear, and their fighting strength was constantly dwindling...

The eldest son, Hashirama, is quite good, but he's too naive, and he's been acting strangely lately... The second son, Tobirama, is calm and collected, but not mature enough. Despite his exceptional talent, he's also quite cunning...

The third son has already died in battle, and the fourth son... let's not even mention him.

None of his sons have amounted to anything remarkable; none have inherited his thoughts and spirit, nor have they grasped the meaning of honor...

Thinking of this, the Buddha could only worry anxiously.

"Hmph, since you're unwilling to budge, then let you go and see the cruelty of war for yourself..."

Butsuma made up his mind that he would make his youngest son completely correct his attitude and realize that the Senju clan were his brothers! The only respect he could show to all other enemy clans was to exterminate them!

Butsuma himself came to the solitary confinement room. He had now realized that rather than letting Itama waste his time alone there, it was better to let him prove his worth...

"Itama, you should prepare yourself mentally for the next battle. I'm sending you to the front lines... Only by killing Uchiha people with your own hands can you let go of that naive idea."

The Buddha merely glanced at him, coldly looking down at his stubborn son.

Itama looked up at his father's face in disbelief, a long-dormant fear creeping back into his heart...

"me..."

"Hehe, you don't like to talk, so don't say anything then." Buddha easily arranged the matter for Itama and turned to leave.

In the solitary confinement cell, Banma suddenly started crying again.

He didn't want to kill...

Moreover, if he were to kill someone from the Uchiha clan with his own hands, it would mean that he would never be able to face Yan Yi again.
