"You fell under my genjutsu a long time ago."
"Unfortunately, you simply never noticed!"
Watching the Third Hokage's bedraggled state, Uchiha Yue maintained the scornful smile on his lips. At the same time, he thought that it was time to end his battle with the Third Hokage. Now that Uchiha Yue's father, Uchiha Nara, had been taken away by the Anbu, and Uchiha Yue had been fighting the Third Hokage for so long, he feared that something might happen to his father.

Unfortunately, upon seeing the savage fire dragon formed by the Third Hokage, Uchiha Yue merely smiled disdainfully.
Then, under the Third Hokage's astonished gaze, Uchiha Yue actually caught the Third Hokage's Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet
