Yū had still underestimated the scale of war. Once both sides clashed, the battlefield became a meat grinder. Ninja died every moment; the person before your eyes might be blown to death by an explosive tag the next instant.
Smack!
A slap landed on Nawaki's head. Losing focus during a war could cost him his life.
Just moments ago, he had confidently believed he could distinguish himself in the war and at least earn the right to compete for the position of Hokage. But when the true battle arrived, it was completely different from what Nawaki had expected.
He had been dumbfounded by the gruesome scene before him, his body splattered with blood that he did not know belonged to enemies or comrades.
"It hurts!"
The pain brought Nawaki back to his senses. His mind, affected by the bloodshed, had nearly collapsed because of the war. With lingering fear on his face, he leaned against Uchiha Yū and said between heavy breaths:
"War is really too terrifying!"
"This is only the beginning, idiot!"
Fortunately, Yū had pulled him away from the center of the battlefield beforehand. There were enemy ninja on the outskirts as well, but the fighting was not as intense there, and Yū had ways to handle it.
Uchiha Yū revealed his Sharingan. Its terrifying dynamic vision allowed him to see every movement his enemies made in battle, even the gestures of their hand seals, letting him predict what ninjutsu they would use next.
Of course, every advantage came with drawbacks. The Uchiha Clan's strength and the rarity of their bloodline made many ninja regard Uchiha Yū as prey.
"A brat from the Uchiha Clan!"
"Hurry up and dig out his eyes! That's a kekkei genkai that can be inherited!"
"You hold him off while I capture him!"
