Has Chapter 101 ended?
Has Chapter 101 ended?
Everyone noticed it; no one living in this forest could ignore that terrifying blade of light...
While Yan Yi was far away in his clan's territory conducting rescue operations, and still reeling from the shock of the Nine-Tails' attack, a profound and piercing sorrow welled up within him the instant he saw the golden pillar of light dissipate...
When he came to his senses, two tear tracks were already on his face.
"Father..."
Yan Yi froze on the spot, realizing at that moment that his father... had died in battle.
Madara and Izuna were also stunned. They involuntarily stopped walking through the clan's territory, their faces filled with disbelief and endless sorrow.
The bond between father and son was so strong that when their father, the head of the Uchiha clan, died in battle, their minds went blank for several seconds.
Uchiha Tenka was still struggling to use his Mangekyou Sharingan to control the beast and keep it away from the clan territory, while most of the ninjas were still cleaning up the ruins scattered throughout the clan territory.
This monster was incredibly destructive. Not only did its Tailed Beast Ball destroy the southwest corner, but its sharp teeth and claws wreaked havoc on the tribe's territory, resulting in a death toll that was too horrible to bear.
Yan Yi quickly shook her head, fighting back tears, and tugged at her second brother's sleeve, saying, "Let's save them first..."
His voice was trembling with tears, but he couldn't cry now.
With his father dead in battle, Madara is now the first in line to succeed the Uchiha clan leader. However, as the son of the clan leader, Yan Yi can no longer show his weak side as before.
In this way, the clansmen will be able to strengthen their resolve and restore the Uchiha clan's territory... their home, to its original state.
"Yes! I know!" Izuna quickly wiped away her tears and quickened her pace.
But as he wiped, he noticed something was wrong... his vision was turning red, and he didn't know why.
Yan Yi looked up at her second brother, Quan Nai, and froze instantly...
"Second Brother, you're bleeding? Ah! Second Brother, your eyes..."
Yan Yi saw Izuna's hand wiping away tears... those weren't tears, they were blood.
Izuna glanced at Yan Yi with a somewhat confused expression, then looked at his hands, and wiped his face again...
"I've opened my eyes...?"
Izuna has awakened his eyes, but he can't be happy at all; all that's left in his heart is sadness.
A jet-black magatama circled the pupil, slowly rotating gently on the blood-red iris, looking incredibly beautiful.
Izuna had no time to care about his eyes. He quickly wiped his face with his sleeve again, wiping away the blood and tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, and forced himself to cheer up.
"Ha, I'm fine... We have to cheer up! Let's go! There are still people over there who need help."
"Second brother..." Yan Yi wanted to say something, but then he dismissed the idea of comforting his second brother and showed a cute smile, "Yes, I will cheer up too!"
......
On the battlefield, all fell silent...
When Hashirama, Tobirama, and Itama saw the strange change in the center of the battlefield, the three brothers immediately rushed towards it.
And what comes into view at this moment?
The corpses of a group of elite Senju ninjas, and his own father lying in a pool of blood.
Finally, there was Uchiha Tajima's corpse, surrounded by two or three Uchiha ninjas, and the little boy from the Hagoromo clan lying on the ground, wailing loudly...
All three clan leaders present were dead.
"Big brother..."
Tobirama frowned, his heart filled with sorrow, yet he couldn't cry. He hadn't even felt the same grief as when his brother was taken away.
Hashirama was startled when he was called, let out a long sigh, and sat down on the ground with a dejected look on his face.
"Father... as expected, it has come to this."
Hashirama clenched his fists, feeling both sad and resentful... Had his father's extreme ideas ultimately led to this end?
Why! Why is he so determined to kill Uchiha people!
Why would you rather sacrifice your own son than think of a way to reconcile with the Uchiha?
Why... why are we still not satisfied after so many people have sacrificed themselves? So many people have died, all our brothers and sisters have died!
"Hashirama-nii-san..." Itama gently tugged at Hashirama's hand, looking at him with a worried expression.
Was Itama sad? To be honest, he was a little sad... It was a feeling of sadness stemming from the blood ties between father and son, an instinctive sadness.
But more than anything, itama felt sorrow.
Hashirama, who was being pulled by Itama's hand, suddenly came to his senses, bent down, and hugged Itama's slightly thin body.
"It's okay, Itama... I'll protect you! Even if Father is gone, we can still rebuild the Senju clan."
More than his father's death, Hashirama is now concerned about whether Itama is sad or scared.
"Ugh..."
Tobirama sighed, quickly pulled his older brother off Itama, and silently walked to their father's body.
"Father, perhaps you are wrong this time..."
Looking at his father, who lay dead with his eyes wide open, Tobirama felt a pang of pain in his heart... He had even vaguely guessed that his father's plan this time seemed to be related to the attack on the Uchiha clan's territory.
Despicable...
But this was still his father. Tobirama knelt down, gently placed his hands on his father's face, and closed his eyes.
The current scene is very strange...
The Tobirama brothers squatted before their father's body, lost in thought. Perhaps they were mourning silently? Or perhaps they were filled with confusion and resentment.
Meanwhile, the Uchiha members remained silent, standing there in a daze, their faces filled with respect and seriousness.
The Hagoromo clan... Takita had cried enough, vented his grief, and forcibly stopped his tears. When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with determination.
He no longer wanted to fight the Thousand Hands. Now that all three clan leaders were dead, nothing mattered anymore.
Following Hagoromo and his group of ninjas, they collected Kuranosuke's body for burial. Takita glanced one last time in Itama's direction before turning and leaving...
......
The war, which had lasted for several years, was over.
The Uchiha clan suffered countless casualties, their territory was almost destroyed, their clan leader was killed in battle, and more than half of their elite ninjas were wounded or maimed.
The Thousand Hands clan leader was killed in battle, and all of their dozen or so elite members perished...
The head of the Hagoromo clan was killed in battle, and more than half of the clan's ninjas were killed or wounded.
Ending like this, everyone in the three families must be exhausted... This kind of meaningless struggle will eventually crush people's minds.
As for the Nine-Tails later... it was beyond their control. Uchiha Tenka almost ran out of the Land of Fire with him... then the monster finally broke free of the genjutsu and escaped right before Tenka's eyes.
Then it all fizzled out, and Tianhuo had no interest in chasing after them.
The Uchiha clan held a grand funeral. To commemorate those who died in the battle, everyone spontaneously offered flowers and remained silent.
It's not that the Uchiha clan lacks emotions; on the contrary, their emotions are far too intense. Having truly experienced pain firsthand, the clan members' mindsets have begun to shift slightly...
Ban naturally inherited the position of clan leader.
Aside from Tajima's death, another elite ninja from the clan, Uchiha Kazuhiko, miraculously survived once again. However, this time Kazuhiko fell into a coma and showed no signs of waking up.
The remaining elders of the clan all perished in the Nine-Tails' attack. Their advanced age, along with the history of past battles, led them to vanish...
"Clan leader...we should hold a clan meeting today..." Uchiha Tenka stood beside Madara, reminding him softly.
Even with his Mangekyou Sharingan, he was willing to support Madara, because he could see that Madara, the son of the clan leader, would also be an excellent leader.
“Uh... okay, I’m ready!” Spot nodded in reply.
This is the first clan meeting held since the war ended and the aftermath work was completed, so Ban attaches great importance to it.
He is gradually adapting to his new identity. Although there are still many things he is unfamiliar with, he does not want to bring shame to his father or the entire Uchiha clan.
However, with this job and responsibility, he had less time to spend with his younger brother.
"Let's go!" Madara straightened his clothes, stood up, and walked towards the door...
