Chapter 14: Uchiha Loses Its Chance for a Comeback

Seeing "Chu Yang" on the bed gradually turn into a piece of wood, Uchiha Izuna's eyes nearly popped out of his head!

"How could it be a wood clone?!"

Uchiha Izuna screamed in agony, like a heartbroken fool abandoned by a callous lover. He knew exactly what this meant—it felt like his heart plunged straight into hell!

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Lord Izuna! It's an ambush!"

"Help! Lord Izuna!"

Uchiha Izuna ripped open the tent, only to discover that there were dense shadows surrounding them.

In an instant, the flames lit up the area.

His subordinates outside the tent were riddled with kunai and shuriken, lying in pools of blood, barely clinging to life. Some even stared at him with eyes wide open in death, as if silently accusing him—why did you lead us to our deaths?

"How is this possible?!" Uchiha Izuna, filled with disbelief, turned to Chu Yang and asked in a pained voice, "How did you know we were coming to assassinate you?"

Chu Yang scratched his head, embarrassed. "You might not believe it, but I just couldn't sleep and went for a walk."

Uchiha Izuna's eyes widened in shock.

Then, humiliation crossed his face. How could he believe such nonsense? If you couldn't sleep, why did you leave a shadow clone in the bed? Furious, Uchiha Izuna felt a surge of rage and spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot!

"Capture him alive!" A hint of reluctance flashed in Senju Hashirama's eyes. It was clear he did not want to harm Uchiha Madara's younger brother.

Following the order, the Senju clansmen slowly surrounded Uchiha Izuna.

"Kid, did you really just get up for a walk and discover their assassination attempt?" Senju Tobirama asked curiously.

"Of course not!" Chu Yang rolled his eyes and started bluffing, "After several battles where they couldn't kill me, I knew they were plotting something. I haven't slept for days, staying vigilant and prepared for their assassination attempt."

Senju Hashirama laughed heartily and teased, "Could it be that you were just too scared to sleep?"

Chu Yang glared at him, exasperated. "Chief, if you're going to talk like that, there's no point in continuing this conversation!"

Hearing this, Senju Tobirama also gave a knowing smile.

At that moment, realizing that the failure of the mission would be catastrophic for the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Izuna had already gone mad.

His eyes turned blood red, resembling a wild beast on the verge of death.

Seeing him like this, the Senju clansmen surrounding him couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Covered in blood, Uchiha Izuna launched a suicidal charge toward the crowd, fearless of death, with only one goal in mind—to kill Chu Yang.

No matter what happened today, he had to kill Chu Yang!

As Uchiha Izuna desperately broke through the encirclement, the Senju clansmen's defenses began to falter. Due to Hashirama's prior order to capture him alive, they hesitated to use lethal force.

As the saying goes, hesitation leads to defeat.

Their hesitation gave Uchiha Izuna the opening he needed. He tore through the encirclement, heading straight for Chu Yang.

Some of the Uchiha clansmen, who had seemingly "died" on the ground, suddenly "came back to life!"

At the moment of the ambush, some had used their comrades' bodies to shield themselves, feigning death. However, they were all gravely wounded and close to death.

This was their final desperate effort, a brief moment of energy before the end.

They seized this last chance to help Uchiha Izuna kill Chu Yang.

Even Senju Tobirama had not anticipated this!

Caught off guard, he actually fell under a brief genjutsu, frozen in place.

Even Hashirama, known as the "God of Shinobi," didn't react in time either.

The gap in strength between the two sides was immense, and the Uchiha could only hold them briefly under the illusion before it broke.

But that short moment was enough to assassinate Chu Yang.

Uchiha Izuna's Sharingan spun rapidly. As long as Chu Yang fell under the genjutsu and let his guard down, the kunai in Izuna's hand could easily slice his throat.

But to Uchiha Izuna's surprise, Chu Yang calmly kept his eyes closed, showing no fear.

"Do you think just because you're not under genjutsu, you won't die, you fool?!" Uchiha Izuna roared, slashing with his kunai. He could almost see Chu Yang's carotid artery being severed.

But despite having his eyes closed, Chu Yang effortlessly dodged Uchiha Izuna's attack.

Uchiha Izuna looked at Chu Yang in disbelief, then gritted his teeth and stabbed again with the kunai.

And once again, Chu Yang dodged with ease...

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Yang unleashed a powerful Shark Tile True Punch, landing a solid hit on Uchiha Izuna's waist... with one punch, he ruptured Izuna's liver!

Uchiha Izuna's eyes filled with shock, staring at Chu Yang as if he had seen a ghost! He was so stunned, he even ignored the excruciating pain in his waist!

"How could you predict my every move with such precision when your eyes are closed?"

As Uchiha Izuna spat out a large mouthful of blood, his energy rapidly dwindled.

What could it be?

Of course, it was Kenbunshoku Haki!

Chu Yang replied seriously, "I guessed."

"Ugh!"

Uchiha Izuna was so enraged that he spat out another mouthful of blood, his eyes rolling back as he fainted.

At the same time, the Uchiha clansmen who had sacrificed themselves to stall Hashirama and Tobirama also fell to the ground, their faces filled with disbelief.

Their desperate gamble had become nothing more than a colossal joke in front of Chu Yang.

Hashirama, now free of the genjutsu, immediately looked toward Chu Yang. Seeing that he was safe, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Tobirama did the same.

Hashirama smiled wryly and said, "I was careless; things almost went wrong."

Chu Yang laughed and said, "No worries, we've captured Uchiha Izuna. Now the initiative is in our hands. Whether we fight or negotiate is entirely up to us."

Tobirama added, "Your performance this time has impressed me. It seems there's no need for any additional training for you."

Chu Yang grinned sheepishly.

Not just Tobirama, but all the Senju clansmen had witnessed Chu Yang's earlier display. From the bottom of their hearts, they felt genuine admiration.

As dawn broke, Uchiha Madara, having waited all night without any news of his brother, took out his frustration on a nearby sand table, smashing it to pieces with a single punch.

He knew that after this event, the Uchiha clan had completely lost their chance for a comeback. Continuing the fight would only lead to their demise.

It wasn't just Madara who understood this. When news of Uchiha Izuna's failed assassination and capture reached the Uchiha clan, many immediately began considering surrender.

Within just a day, Uchiha Madara saw many people quietly leaving the camp. The morale of the clan had collapsed beyond repair.

As the clan leader, the only thing Madara could do now was to find Senju Hashirama and engage in one final duel.
