Seeing Chu Yang turning into a piece of wood, made Izuna's eyes almost fall out. "Why is it a wood clone?" he yelled incredulously, unable to overcome his shock. His heart sank as he knew exactly what it meant. "Ahh!" "Izuna-sama!! This is an ambush!!" "Please help us Izuna-sama!!" As Izuna left the tent as he found a dense crowd of people surrounded the tent. The Fire illuminated their faces in an instant as he saw his subordinates' lifeless bodies were lying on the ground. Kunai had pierced their bodies as they had been dealt with swiftly by the Senju. They were lying in their own pool of blood, as their lifeless eyes stared at him, giving him chills. Almost as if asking why he did this to them.

  "How is this possible?" Izuna looked at Chu Yang in pain as he could not believe, "How did you know we were here to kill you?" Chu Yang could only scratch his head in embarrassment, "You might not believe me, but I just could not any sleep at all. So, I just went out for a walk to clear my head." Izuna could not believe what he just heard. He felt humiliated, after all he was not a child. Somehow the kid found out his pn and alerted the rest of his cn to prepare a trap for him. After all, what kind of weirdo would leave a clone in the bed as he went for a walk out. He could not hold his fury, as he bit his lip hard enough to draw blood, to calm himself.

  "Capture him alive!" ordered Hashirama. It was obvious he did not want to hurt Madara's brother at all. The guards surrounded Izuna as they received their order. "Kid, did you really figure their pns to assassinate you? Or is it that you just got lucky and found them sneaking around?" Tobirama raised his eyebrow as he asked curiously. "How is that possible!" Chu Yang started talking nonsense as he rolled his eyes, "They could not kill me in the battlefield after so many tries. They must have gotten frustrated. And I have not slept for days, staying vigint and guessing whether they might attack me in my sleep or not."

  Hashirama ughed and joked, "Is it not just you too scared to sleep?" Chu Yang rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Sensei, if you talk like that, we are not going to continue this conversation." Hearing this Tobirama showed a knowing smile as well. Meanwhile Izuna released what the ramifications of this failed mission would cause them, went mad. His eyes turned scarlet, brimming with anger. Seeing like this, the guards surrounding him felt panicked. Izuna wrestled control as he unched a suicidal attack. He was not afraid as he had only one purpose, kill Chu Yang. Facing him the guards' defense lines gradually failed. Due to the previous order of capturing alive, they did not dare kill him. And as they say, hesitation leads to death.

  Their hesitation gave him an opportunity as he went straight towards Chu Yang. Some of his team who were pying dead suddenly got up. At the time of the ambush, some of them used their comrades' bodies as cover as they pretended to be dead. However, everyone was seriously injured. This was a st-ditch effort by them. even Tobirama did not expect this. Due to his carelessness, he got caught in an illusion for a split second which was enough. Hashirama did not react as well. Although there was a huge disparity of strength between them, it was enough for them to distract him for one second.

  This was enough for a decisive blow from him. As Izuna's Sharingan spun, as long as Chu Yang was caught in the genjutsu, everything would be over. But something else happened, Chu Yang had closed his eyes calmly without any fear. "Do you think just because you are not in a genjutsu you will not die!" Izuna roared as he could visualize the blood spraying out of Chu Yang's neck. Who would have thought that Chu Yang, having his eyes would be able to easily dodge the attack. Izuna tried again but just failed to nd a hit on him. Chu Yang used this opportunity to deliver a shockwave punch directly at his sor plexus, knocking the wind out of him.

  Izuna could not believe it, "You had your eyes closed all the time, how did you dodge?" And just to spite him, Chu Yang taunted by saying, "I just guessed it." Of course, it was because of observation haki, but he is not going to say anything to him. He then knocked out Izuna with a final punch. As for the other Uchiha, they could only grit their teeth in anger. Hashirama quickly knocked out the rest of them as he checked on Chu Yang's safety as he breathed a sigh relief. "I was careless." Chu Yang smiled, "I now, but it does not matter anymore. Now that we have caught him, the initiative is in our hands. Whether to make peace with the Uchiha or fight to the death."

  Tobirama was proud, "I am impressed by your performance, it seems there is no need to continue our training." Chu Yang chuckled. Not just him, the other Senju who watched his performance were deeply impressed. Meanwhile as the light came, Madara was pacing back and forth in his tent, waiting for Izuna's news. He could only vent his frustration on the table as he broke it with a punch. He knew that after this, the Uchiha had lost any chance to make any comeback and continuing to fight would only lead them to death. When the news of Izuna's failed assassination attempt and being captured alive by the Senju spread to them, many people wanted to surrender.

  Only a single day had passed as Madara saw people sneaking out of the camp. They were so distraught that nothing Madara might say might convince them anymore. Even he was not sure what to do anymore. The only way out was for him to confront Hashirama head on.
