Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 179 Would you believe me if I said I got a little lost on the way?

The violent explosion reverberated for dozens of miles around, and the ninjas from the Land of Water, who were watching from the other side of the river, naturally noticed the commotion in the center of the battlefield.

Bai Lian's eyes widened slightly, his expression somewhat strange, even gloomy. He suddenly felt secretly glad that he had waited so long without going to support Lie Dou. Now that Lie Dou had used his trump card, his calculations had deepened even further.

"Get ready, everyone... get ready, we're about to take over the battle."

Bai Lian stood up with a hunched back and slowly moved her body step by step, once again coming to the front of the line.

He glanced back at the ninjas behind him, a strange smile playing on his lips. The smile was incredibly eerie, even ugly, worse than a grimace, but he seemed unfazed. No one present dared to show any dissatisfaction; this was the effect of his absolute confidence in his strength.

"Senior Bailian... The Land of Wind is already at its last gasp, and Konoha is probably quite injured as well. Although we are indeed at a great opportunity now, but..." The speaker was a young man with shark fangs. His expression was somewhat cautious, but he still mustered up the courage to ask the question that was on his mind.

Bai Lian didn't even glance at her, instead continuing to walk forward, muttering to herself, "But what? If you don't listen to this old man, you can just go home..."

"Uh..." The young man's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately fell silent, his face full of fear.

He actually wanted to ask, but the Land of Earth was also watching, and he was afraid that they had the same plan. So he worried that if they met in the middle of the battlefield, they might have to fight over "unequal distribution of spoils." In fact, this time, they didn't even know if the Land of Lightning had come or not.

However, this question remained unanswered, so he had no choice but to give up and dare not ask any more questions. He could only believe in Bai Lian's absolute strength. After all... she was currently the strongest in the Land of Water, and even Feng Zhi Lie Dou was nothing special in this old man's eyes.

......

Where have the people of the Land of Earth gone? That's a good question. However, instead of obediently coming to support the Land of Wind as expected, they've... sneaked around to the vicinity of the Land of Lightning, intending to take a bite out of them.

After all, Ishigawa, the strongest person in the Land of Earth and their current de facto leader, felt that rather than going head-to-head into troubled waters and facing various risks, it would be better to take a bite out of the Land of Lightning first.

Compared to Konoha, which is fully prepared for battle, or the Land of Wind and the Land of Water, the Land of Lightning, which has lost 60% of the elite ninjas of the Tsukiyo clan, seems easier to bully.

Although Shi He appears somewhat dull and resembles a middle-aged, overweight, and greasy man, he is actually wise beyond his years and extremely meticulous. On the surface, he makes many decisions based on the advice of the various elders, but in reality, this old fellow is not one to suffer losses.

Besides, after we've finished off the Land of Lightning, which is caught off guard and lacks a unified political system, we can then go to the Hidden Leaf Village to grab a share of the spoils. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Moreover, from the very beginning of this battle, he was skeptical that the so-called Four Nations Alliance could easily annex the Land of Fire. The Five Nations system had developed over a long period of time, witnessing countless wars, yet which war had truly reshaped the Five Nations system? The Land of Fire... not to mention Konoha, which had established a unified government and integrated the fighting power of ninja clans into a village, was hardly a force that could be easily wiped out.

So... the Land of Earth is now fully prepared. The Land of Wind is currently on the battlefield, and the Land of Water is far away, making it impossible to bypass them. So, Shihe is cunning, leading his men to quietly approach the border of the Land of Lightning... However, even so, he didn't forget to send a small group to the forests of the Land of Fire to cause trouble and gather intelligence.

......

In the dense forest, far behind the ninjas of the Land of Wind, a large group of ninjas was moving rapidly toward the central battlefield. They were all dressed in blue-gray armor, with a full moon crest on their shoulder armor.

Strangely, although this group of ninjas did not move very fast, they were able to easily bypass all the ninjas from the Land of Wind who stayed behind to relay information.

Along the way, no one was discovered, and wherever they went, all the ninjas of the Land of Wind had their throats slit silently.

"Clan leader, it will probably take us another ten minutes or so to get there... The explosion just now didn't sound good..." a young ninja, who looked to be in his twenties or thirties, said with a worried expression.

However, the person he addressed as the clan leader was a boy who was just over 1.5 meters tall... At this moment, the boy was running at the front of the group, still traveling at full speed. Hearing the words beside him, his brows, hidden beneath his short blue-gray hair, furrowed even more deeply.

"I know, that's why we need to hurry! Hashirama and Madara will be fine! Trust me, we have to get there this time!"

After saying this, the boy wiped the sweat from his forehead and pursed his lips slightly.

He felt uneasy, even somewhat afraid, but he was the head of a clan. Even though he was still a boy, he was still the clan leader, and the proud head of the Feather Robe Clan! Therefore, he had to shoulder the responsibilities he was supposed to bear.

Now their village is facing challenges, and the Senju and Uchiha clans are in danger on the front lines. He can't just stand by and watch.

However, he has matured a lot over the years. He doesn't blindly rush to provide support; instead, he combines intelligence analysis and even deduces in a very short time that their defense here is no longer necessary.

Now, after going around in circles, they have finally managed to get behind the Land of Wind ninjas, all in order to deliver this crucial, fatal blow.

"Yan Yi... I wonder how things are going on your end..." Her eyes, beneath her short, blue-gray hair, held worry, but not confusion.

Even today, he still can't completely let go of it, but since he made the choice, he will protect the people he cares about in his own way.

The current situation is the reason for his existence.

......

Retsuto was exhausted, but he still had some strength left. Although the ninjas from the Land of Wind had suffered some losses, there were still about two hundred of them, who were now scattered in various parts of the battlefield. In particular, the ninjas who were farther away from the explosion center were mostly in good condition.

On Konoha's side, although the losses were quite significant, at least Retsuto didn't manage to overturn the table and kill everyone. Retsuto's attack just now could even be described as "earth-shattering," yet Hashirama still managed to withstand most of the damage from such an attack.

"Retsudou, I don't think ninjas should act like this," Hashirama said calmly, his face expressionless.

Madara, standing next to Hashirama, could clearly sense Hashirama's anger, for at this moment, he was just as furious, his face so dark it was almost dripping with water.

Lie Dou's expression froze for a moment, then he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hehehe, what do you think? To be honest, I also think we shouldn't have done it this way, but I had no choice. If I didn't use this trick, I really wouldn't be able to beat you guys. To be honest, I'm starting to regret it. Do you believe me?"

When Hashirama saw that he could still laugh, his forehead veins bulged, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, but he felt no pain at all.

"Hashirama, I'm going to kill him."

Madara took a deep breath, and his previously gloomy expression immediately calmed down. All that remained were the slowly rotating Sharingan tomoe and that indifferent expression.

"Kill me?" Lie Dou sneered. "You should be thinking about how you're going to survive first."

With that, Liedou ascended into the air once more. Although his chakra was nearly depleted, he was confident that he still had a chance to completely eliminate the two people before him. If all else failed, he could calmly leave, not for any other reason than that he could easily abandon everyone.

However, before Lie Dou could wipe the smile off his face, his expression froze instantly...

Because he saw a huge, ice-blue pyramid flying rapidly toward him, and on that pyramid squatted a white-haired old man with a crazed expression.

"Hahahaha! Gale Fierce Fighter, would you believe me if I said I got a little lost on the way? Now I'm here to help you!"

Bai Lian, chuckling eerily, sped closer on her ice spike. She didn't seem to be coming to support Lie Dou at all; rather, she seemed intent on eliminating him...
