Chapter 99 You think you've got us cornered?
"Go back to your clan first!"
Madara, who had originally planned to go back to help his father, has made a new decision. Even if he returns to the battlefield now, what difference will it make?
Even though his strength was decent, he was no match for those elite ninjas! His growth was too slow, and he had too little time!
Ban gritted his teeth unwillingly, resolutely turned around, and continued heading towards the clan's territory.
"elder brother..."
Yan Yi held Ban's hand, his eyes filled with sadness and heartache, but also with self-blame and resentment...
What am I anyway? I can't change anything... I know what will happen next, and I'm trying to change things, but it always ends up like this...
With red eyes, Izuna shook his head violently, grabbed Yan Yi's hand, and said, "Let's go! We must trust Father! Father's words will always be true!"
Yan Yi had no choice. He currently lacked any ability to influence the course of the battle, and he wasn't smart enough or possessed exceptional talent...
“I understand…” Yan Yi replied with her head down.
Now that things had come to this, he could only believe that his father, Tajima, had returned alive. After all, if his father had failed and died, none of what followed would have happened... and the Uchiha clan would have vanished from history.
Yan Yi didn't believe it; he didn't believe the Uchiha clan would perish. He was also gambling, betting that the future wouldn't deviate too much from his own understanding.
......
Tajima had been dealing with this group of people for a long time, and he was really starting to feel the strain.
Despite his immense strength, he gradually became exhausted from being surrounded and even subjected to a relentless attack...
After all, the opponent was the Senju clan, known for their endurance. No matter how strong his aggression or how powerful his ninjutsu was, it wouldn't have much of an effect.
"How about it? I know you won't admit defeat, but I'll still give you a dignified death." Buddha was confident of victory; he believed his perfect plan would completely eliminate his opponent.
Tajima was covered in knife wounds, his shirt was tattered, and he was covered in blood, but his eyes remained sharp.
Upon hearing Butsuma's words, Tajima smiled and said with some disdain, "You're really confident. Even if you kill me today, the Senju won't win."
"That's none of your business..."
Butsuma didn't want to drag it out any longer. After watching Tajima's gruesome state for half a day, he was getting tired of it. He had dreamt countless times of tearing Tajima to pieces, and now, he finally had the chance.
The sword in his hand gleamed coldly. He wanted to kill Tajima with his own hands to relieve the hatred that had been burning in his heart for so many years! The Senju clan had already sacrificed far too much for this, and he had even had to sacrifice his own son.
However, both Itama and Kawarama are alive. We'll make it up to them properly after the war...
Thinking of this, Buddha asked again, "Do you have any last words?"
Tajima remained silent, his cold gaze fixed on Butsuma...
Kuranosuke, standing to the side, was almost frantic with worry. He wasn't as strong as those two guys, and with four or five Senju elites surrounding him, he had no way to escape and help Tajima.
We're doomed...
Kuranosuke's face was full of resentment. He really didn't want to die, and he couldn't die!
Her own son hasn't grown up enough to support the family yet, and she hasn't been able to make up for it by properly caring for her third son, whom she finally got back after a long separation, and by being there for him as he grows up...
"Tajima! You better pull yourself together! Our entire Hagoromo clan is pinning our hopes on you! If you die, our sons and our families will all die!"
Kuranosuke's eyes were bloodshot as he recklessly wielded his blade, each strike infused with natural chakra energy forcing the enemy Senju ninja to struggle to defend themselves.
But it's pointless. This struggle only ensures his own survival; it's impossible for him to step aside and help Tajima.
Buddha frowned slightly, glanced coldly in the direction of Kuranosuke, and said with some irritation, "What are you yelling for? After I deal with Tajima, it'll be your turn! You don't need to be in such a hurry to die... As for your son? Heh... I'll treat him well."
"You dare!!" Kuranosuke shouted, his defenses crumbling instantly.
His son was his biggest weakness. He could die if he died, but Takita... and Kota, if they were captured by the Senju and tortured to death, it would be more painful than being slowly sliced to death himself.
Upon hearing Butsuma's shameless words, Tajima coughed as he propped himself up and said calmly, "You think you've got us cornered? Heh... Kuranosuke, don't be impatient. I won't let you down. Even if I die, the Senju won't succeed."
This veiled meaning in his words made Butsuma very unhappy. He felt that everything was under his control, and now Kuranosuke was a pushover, and Tajima was almost out of his depth. He couldn't think of anything that could stop him.
With a sudden burst of chakra, Butsuma used all his strength, charging towards Tajima at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye...
"Finally, I'm going to kill Tajima! The Senju will not fail! And I, Senju Butsuma, will not fail either!" This thought filled Butsuma's mind. At this moment, his killing intent burst forth. As long as this slash landed, Tajima would be dead without a doubt!
boom!!
Although it was described as a single strike, Butsuma actually hurtled towards Tajima like a missile. The entire central area was filled with smoke and dust, and the Senju ninjas around him were forced back by the shockwave.
"..."
"what?"
This strike should have easily killed Tajima, but in the instant he raised his hand to strike, he sensed something amiss. His blade didn't seem to be cutting into flesh at all; it felt more like he was striking a steel plate.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, the Buddha's expression changed drastically...
"You...how do you know this?!"
In the Buddha's vision, a skeletal-shaped condensed chakra form was shimmering with a somewhat dazzling golden light...
"Heh, are you surprised?" Tajima sneered, returning the words Butsuma had said to him.
Butsuma was furious. He was almost able to kill Tajima, but he never expected that Tajima would pull this trick at the crucial moment.
He knew it all too well... and even felt a sliver of fear. Records showed this ability only existed in legends... Only when both of an Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan used their eye techniques simultaneously, and their eye power reached a certain threshold, could this ultimate technique, like a chakra armor, possibly manifest...
"Susanoo?"
Tajima's eyes were bleeding, and his whole body was in excruciating pain.
He was struggling; this ability hadn't appeared in the Uchiha clan for fifty years... Even during the Warring States period, when everyone was in danger and war was constant, there were very few people who could open these eyes and master this ability.
This is the key reason why the Buddhist faction has always been able to keep the Uchiha clan at bay...
It wasn't that Tajima deliberately hid this ability; in fact, Tajima's natural talent wasn't particularly outstanding. He wasn't even in his thirties when he awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan, and he spent a considerable amount of time mastering its application...
But none of that matters now.
"Thousand-Handed Buddha, I told you, you won't succeed."
Tajima clung to his consciousness, determined to defeat his enemy in the final moments. Even if it meant his own death, he was determined to drag Butsuma down to hell with him!
His eye power surged once again... Normally, this ability would require extensive practice and continuous growth to gradually strengthen, but with Tajima recklessly pushing his limits, his original skeletal form gradually grew flesh and blood, and then armor...
A ten-meter-tall golden chakra-infused half-giant, wielding a straight sword, looked down at the Senju members before him. His cold, merciless gaze was as if he were looking at a swarm of insects...
"Although I might only use this once in my life, it doesn't matter. As long as I can drag you down with me, my son will surely lead the Uchiha clan to its peak. Your narrow-mindedness, which is even worse than that of a junior, will just die with me..."
As soon as Tajima finished speaking, the golden giant slashed down mercilessly at Butsuma with his sword.
"This sword is named Futsu-no-Mitama."
