Seeing the "Chu Yang" on the bed gradually turn into a piece of wood, Izuna Uchiha's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!
"How could it be a Wood Clone?!!!"
Izuna Uchiha let out a heart-wrenching roar. Like a simp ruthlessly dumped by a scumbag woman, his heart plummeted straight into hell. He knew better than anyone what this meant!
"Ah!!!!"
"Lord Izuna!!! It's an ambush!!!"
"Help!!! Lord Izuna!!!"
Izuna Uchiha abruptly tore open the tent and found dense figures surrounding him.
In an instant, firelight illuminated the area.
The subordinates outside the tent were covered in kunai and shuriken, lying in pools of blood and barely clinging to life. Some had died with their eyes wide open, staring at Izuna Uchiha.
It was as if they were questioning him—why did you bring us here to die?
"How is this possible?!" Izuna Uchiha looked at Chu Yang in anguish and asked incredulously, "How did you know we were coming to assassinate you?"
Chu Yang scratched his head sheepishly. "You might not believe me if I told you, but I simply couldn't sleep and got up to take a walk."
Izuna Uchiha's eyes widened.
Then an expression of humiliation appeared on his face. How could he possibly believe that?
If you couldn't sleep, why was there still a Shadow Clone lying in bed?
Overcome with fury, Izuna Uchiha was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot!
"Take him alive!" A trace of reluctance flashed through Hashirama Senju's eyes. It was clear that he did not want to harm his friend Madara Uchiha's younger brother.
Upon receiving the order, the other clan members slowly surrounded Izuna Uchiha.
"Kid, did you really discover these people were planning to assassinate you just because you couldn't sleep and went for a walk?" Tobirama Senju asked curiously.
"How could that be!" Chu Yang's eyes darted as he immediately began making things up. "They failed to kill me after so many battles, so they must have been plotting something. I haven't slept for days. I stayed alert and prepared for anything because I guessed they would come to assassinate me."
Hashirama Senju laughed heartily and teased, "Don't tell me you were too scared to sleep?"
Chu Yang rolled his eyes at him and said speechlessly, "Clan Head, if you keep talking like that, we can't have a conversation anymore!"
Hearing this, Tobirama Senju also revealed a knowing smile.
At that moment, Izuna Uchiha had realized that failure of the mission would deal a devastating blow to the Uchiha clan, and he had already descended into madness.
His eyes were bloodshot, like a beast on the brink of death.
Seeing him like this, the Senju clansmen surrounding him inexplicably felt uneasy.
Covered in blood, Izuna Uchiha launched a suicidal charge at the crowd. He feared no death, and he had only one goal: kill Chu Yang.
No matter what happened today, he would kill Chu Yang!
Facing Izuna Uchiha's desperate attempt to break through the encirclement at any cost, the Senju clansmen's defensive line gradually faltered. Because of Hashirama Senju's earlier order to capture him alive, they did not dare strike to kill.
As the saying went, hesitation led to defeat.
Their hesitation gave Izuna Uchiha an opening. He tore through a gap in the encirclement and charged straight toward Chu Yang.
Some of the Uchiha clansmen on the ground, who were supposed to have "died," suddenly "came back to life"!
The moment they were ambushed, some of them had used their companions' corpses to block the attacks and feigned death!
However, every one of them was indeed severely wounded and near death.
This was nothing more than a final burst of strength before death.
They wanted to seize this last chance and make one final effort to help Izuna Uchiha kill Chu Yang.
Even Tobirama Senju had not anticipated this!
Caught off guard, he was actually hit by Genjutsu and fell into a brief stupor.
Hashirama Senju, known as the God of Shinobi, likewise failed to react in time.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was enormous. The Uchiha clansmen could only control them for a very short time before the Genjutsu wore off.
But that was already more than enough to assassinate Chu Yang.
Izuna Uchiha's Sharingan spun. As long as Chu Yang fell under Genjutsu and let down his guard, the kunai in Izuna's hand could easily slice through Chu Yang's throat.
But something Izuna Uchiha had never expected happened—
Chu Yang calmly closed his eyes, without the slightest trace of fear.
"You think you won't die just because you don't fall under Genjutsu? Idiot!" Izuna Uchiha roared as he swung his kunai. He could practically see Chu Yang's neck artery being severed.
Yet Chu Yang, who clearly had his eyes closed, effortlessly dodged Izuna Uchiha's attack.
Izuna Uchiha stared at Chu Yang in disbelief, then gritted his teeth and stabbed forward again with his kunai.
And it was dodged again...
Seizing the opportunity, Chu Yang slammed a Shark Tile True Fist into Izuna Uchiha's waist... a liver-shattering punch!
Izuna Uchiha looked at Chu Yang as if he had seen a ghost!
He even ignored the excruciating pain shooting through his waist!
"You clearly had your eyes closed. How could you precisely predict my every move?"
After Izuna Uchiha coughed up a large mouthful of blood, his aura suddenly weakened.
What else could it be?
Of course, it was Observation Haki!
Chu Yang answered solemnly, "I guessed!"
"Pfft!"
Izuna Uchiha's fury surged, and he vomited blood again. His eyes rolled back, and he completely lost consciousness.
The Uchiha clansmen who had held back Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju at the cost of their lives also collapsed one after another, their faces filled with disbelief.
Their desperate gamble had become a colossal joke before Chu Yang.
Once Hashirama Senju came to his senses, he immediately looked toward Chu Yang. Only after confirming that he was unharmed did he let out a sigh of relief.
Tobirama Senju was the same.
Hashirama Senju said with a bitter smile, "I was careless. That nearly turned into a problem."
Chu Yang smiled. "It's fine. Now that we've captured Izuna Uchiha, the initiative is in our hands. Whether we fight or make peace is entirely up to us."
Tobirama Senju said, "Your performance this time has made me see you in a new light. It seems there is no need to put you through any additional training in the future."
Chu Yang chuckled.
It was not just Tobirama Senju. Every clansman had witnessed Chu Yang's performance just now, and they truly admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
As dawn gradually broke, Madara Uchiha, who had waited all night without seeing his younger brother return, could only vent his rage on the sand table, smashing it apart with one punch.
He knew that after this, the Uchiha clan had completely lost its chance to turn the tables. If they kept fighting, only death awaited them.
Madara Uchiha was not the only one who understood this. When news that Izuna Uchiha had failed to assassinate Chu Yang and been captured instead reached the Uchiha clan, many people immediately began considering surrender.
Just one day later, Madara Uchiha saw quite a few people secretly slipping out of the camp. With morale scattered to this extent, there was no way to salvage the situation.
As clan head, the last thing Madara Uchiha could do was find Hashirama Senju and fight one final duel.
