Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 191 Who are you?

The battle on the front lines remained deadlocked. Byakuren's attacks were incredibly powerful; any ninjutsu she used could cause devastating damage.

The surrounding situation had devolved into a three-way battle, but fortunately, the mad old man, Byakuren, wasn't solely targeting Konoha's ninjas. Hashirama and Madara, relying on their Wood Release and Fire Release techniques, were barely managing to hold their own.

"Ban, this Byakuren's strength is truly unbelievable..." Hashirama said to Madara beside him, panting slightly, after struggling to control the wooden doll to block the large number of ice spikes released by Byakuren.

Madara Uchiha's face was full of displeasure and resentment, but there was nothing he could do. He was truly outmatched in strength. If he had the fighting power his father had back then, he would have slashed that old man's ice spikes to pieces and made him fly away.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only try to retreat further... The Hyuga clan's reinforcements have arrived, and now we only need the Hagoromo clan."

However, no sooner had Madara finished speaking than a group of ninjas dressed in light blue-gray suddenly emerged from behind the ninjas of the Land of Wind.

boom!!

A bright white light flashed, and the Wind Fierce Fighter, which had been teetering in mid-air, was caught off guard and crashed.

"Ah!! You bunch of idiots! Can't you see that old man is going to kill everyone here!" Lie Dou's eyes were filled with resentment and venom. Even as he plummeted downwards, he continued to shout, "If you kill me, you'll be facing that old man alone!"

However, Bai Lian, who was called out, remained calm, seemingly not taking Lie Dou seriously at all. But since she'd been called an "old man," Bai Lian, with her petty nature, was naturally going to retaliate...

Swish!

A thin, long, and lightning-fast ice-blue spear shot straight ahead. Before Lie Dou could finish cursing, he was pierced through by the ice spike and fell to the ground with a "boom".

Hagoromo Takita's eyes widened in disbelief. What was going on? But he didn't have time to think about it. He immediately ordered his ninjas to join the battle. In an instant, all the ninjas in the Land of Wind changed their expressions.

The Hagoromo clan? This is the Hagoromo clan, one of the three most powerful clans founded by Konoha? Why didn't anyone sense their arrival before they came?

Bai Lian floated in mid-air, her cloudy eyes, not very clear, watching Hagoromo Takita who was giving instructions with great interest. She said with a hint of mockery, "How come the heads of the so-called three major clans of Konoha are all getting younger and younger? Hahaha, is it really because there's no one left? Have all the old guys died?"

Suddenly being mocked and pointed at, Takita looked up at Byakuren in mid-air and said with some disdain, "This is old and still trying to be a thief. At your age, you still want to show off. Be careful you don't break your old bones later..."

He wasn't going to give the enemy a friendly look. Since they were already on the battlefield, the enemy wouldn't show him any mercy just because he was obedient.

As if a sore spot had been hit, Bai Lian's face immediately turned gloomy: "You little brat, you've got quite the nerve... Let's see if you, a mere brat who hasn't even grown his hair yet, can withstand one of my blows!"

"Ice Release: Ice Creation Technique - Ice Rain!"

After Bai Lian finished forming her hand seals, a large amount of water vapor in the air condensed into thousands of ice cones, pouring down towards the Feathered Clan as if it were raining.

"Damn it, this old scoundrel is really petty!" Takita cursed under his breath, and immediately began to form hand seals.

A small earthen wall immediately rose from beneath his feet; this was the most basic earthen wall. After all, he was of a certain age, and although his strength was indeed somewhat lacking, fighting wasn't his forte.

He has handled the family affairs very well over the years, but his strength is not particularly outstanding.

boom!

The earthflow wall blocked a large number of ice spikes, but it was of little use, because in the next second, tens of thousands of ice spikes, by sheer number, would completely crush Takita's earthflow wall.

"Young clan leader!" A-Kuan, who was standing next to Takita, immediately became anxious and used his own Earth Flow Wall to defend against the attack.

However, it is clear that the earthflow wall is indeed a bit large, but it is still just an earthflow wall.

Bai Lian coldly gazed down, her heart filled with smugness. With a casual move, she had rendered these brats utterly defenseless. It seemed this old man was still...

Before the old man could even finish thinking of his next sentence, he was proven wrong.

A white light flashed by, incredibly fast, and in an instant, all the ice spikes were knocked to the ground, unable to cause any further damage.

The one who made the move was one of the elite ninjas of the Hagoromo clan. This white light was one of their clan's unique ninjutsu. Of course, if it weren't for the lack of inheritance, this attack would have been considered a Sage Art.

The Hagoromo clan has never had a method of training Sage Chakra, even though their chakra nature is naturally more suited to manipulating "natural forces".

"Hmm? Your family is quite interesting... Is this some kind of bloodline limit? It blends into the environment... and it can use a special power that is different from chakra..." Byakuren became interested at this moment and decided to completely target the Hagoromo clan.

Hashirama and Madara were startled. Although the Hagoromo clan's assistance was like sending charcoal in snowy weather to them, they were still somewhat powerless against Byakuren.

"Takita, get out of the way! This old man is too strong!"

As Hashirama shouted, he manipulated the wooden dragon, attempting to disrupt the white lotus in mid-air, but... its effect was very limited.

Madara had already dashed away at lightning speed, rushing towards Takita's direction as fast as he could, but it seemed he was still a little too late.

"Oops!"

Seeing that it was too late, Madara's heart sank. He immediately began to form hand seals and unleashed a powerful fire dragon attack on the white lotus in mid-air.

The fire dragon flew very fast, but the giant ice spikes from the white lotus had already been launched. The Hagoromo clan was on high alert and quickly deployed defensive ninjutsu...

"Heh, a bunch of youngsters, you think you can stop the power of my mount?"

Bai Lian remained unmoved when she saw the flying fire dragon. Instead, she formed a hand seal, and a mirror-like object appeared beside her. The fire dragon's attack was completely reflected back by the mirror the instant it struck.

The giant ice spike that Byakuren threw at Takita was the same ice-style technique that Byakuren was currently riding in mid-air. Yes, he directly threw out the ninjutsu he usually used as a mount.

As the fire dragon flew back, Madara's face turned so dark it was almost dripping with water. Hashirama reacted quickly, using his wooden puppet to block the fire dragon's attack, but Takita on the other side... was too far away to block it.

Takita stared in disbelief at the huge ice spike the old man had thrown at him, cursing the old man a thousand times in his mind, but how could he block it?

In his vision, the massive ice block emanated a chilling aura and seemed to be continuing to condense moisture from the air. By the time it was almost in front of Takita, it had grown several times larger than when it was first projected...

"It's over..."

Takita felt a surge of powerlessness wash over him. He knew, and could sense, the terrifying chakra contained within that massive block of ice. If he got hit... he might really have to start over.

Everyone held their breath for a second. The other ninjas from the Land of Water and the Land of Wind nearby started to run away, about to be hit...

boom!!!

The huge explosion shook the ground violently. For a moment, Takita felt his head buzzing and thought he had died. But after the intense tremor, a boy with black, tousled hair and wearing a clean, light-colored combat suit appeared out of thin air in front of him.

He could only see the other person's back. Although he was somewhat thin, it was as if a powerful protective shield had been erected around his body, perfectly protecting both himself and Takita.

Bai Lian's ice escape technique did not cause him the slightest harm, and the boy did not even move his feet.

As the smoke gradually dissipated... a silver-white chakra giant, clad in armor and wielding a jet-black blade, suddenly appeared in the very center of the explosion, standing motionless.

"Bai Lian, now... I will be your opponent."

The boy spoke softly, and the two strange patterns in his eyes slowly rotated. His eyes seemed lifeless, yet they possessed a mysterious quality that seemed to see through everything.

"Who are you!? What is this power...?" Byakuren was startled. He hadn't noticed when this kid had appeared at all. He was certain that such powerful chakra could not appear within his perception range without being detected.

The boy remained expressionless, showing no sign of joy or sorrow, and said calmly, "My name is Uchiha Genichi."
