Improving upon Gentle Fist is even more difficult than fusing Gentle Fist into the Taijutsu of Falling Moon Style.

After all, Gentle Fist has been developed by the Hyuga Clan for a long time and is almost perfect, making it somewhat difficult to find its flaws. However, Uchiha Yue's Falling Moon Style Taijutsu is different. This newly developed Taijutsu has too many flaws, and by incorporating some of the advantages of Gentle Fist, its power can be further enhanced.

However, given Uchiha Yue's vast theoretical and practical experience, giving Hyuga Anya Gentle Fist was quite simple. Moreover, having read the original story, he referenced Uchiha Yue Hinata Hyuga's use of Gentle Fist in the original work when Hyuga Anya Gentle Fist. He then introduced Hyuga Anya to the concept of counter-attacking, and in a brief conversation, completed the theoretical explanation of Gentle Fist: Guardian Uchiha Yue Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

In less than two hours, Uchiha Yue was able to come up with such a concept, which made Hyuga Anya admire him even more. It's just a pity that Gentle Fist is, after all, a secret technique of the Hyuga Clan. Hyuga Anya was able to gain some theoretical knowledge here, which was enough for her to improve her own Gentle Fist. Afterwards, Uchiha Yue also very considerately changed the subject, not intending to continue talking about Gentle Fist. After all, as Uchiha Clan, his excessive research into the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Uchiha Yue handled the situation well, preventing Hyuga Anya from harboring any doubts; instead, it only increased her approval of Uchiha Yue.

After Uchiha Yue finished instructing Hyuga Anya Gentle Fist, Hyuga Anya reluctantly left Uchiha Yue's side because Uchiha Yue Hyuga Hiashi something to tell him. At the same time, Uchiha Yue, watching Hyuga Hiashi instructing Hyuga Anya and the others, also became secretly wary. He suddenly realized that Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki hadn't returned for a long time, and were probably in real trouble.

Sure enough, just as Uchiha Yue was on guard, Hatake Kakashi appeared before him and whispered, "Yue, I just saw those Hyuga Clan guys talking about Minato-sensei and Kushina- sensei. It seems like Minato-sensei and Kushina- sensei are in trouble. Can you guess what happened?"

When Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki weren't around, Uchiha Yue was Hatake Kakashi of support. Whenever Hatake Kakashi encountered any problems, he would turn to Uchiha Yue for answers. Then, after Uchiha Yue thought for a while, he suddenly noticed Hyuga Hiashi Hyuga Yexing to Hyuga Hiashi and activated his Byakugan for reconnaissance.

Seeing Hyuga Yexing activate his Byakugan, Uchiha Yue's eyes narrowed, and he said to Hatake Kakashi beside him, "Kakashi, our main mission is to protect the caravan, so when the battle begins, we'll focus on protecting the caravan members and ignore those Hyuga Clan members. If I'm not mistaken, that Jonin who appeared earlier was probably there to intercept the intelligence held by Hyuga Hiashi!"

Uchiha Yue's gaze towards Hyuga Hiashi hardened, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Just as I suspected, it's exactly like Kushina's! That Hyuga Hiashi guy wants to travel with us to the border so he can use our team as cover to successfully escort intelligence to the front lines!"

"What? Those Hyuga Clan bastards are actually this despicable?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's words, a look of surprise flashed in Hatake Kakashi's eyes, clearly indicating that he had just learned of Hyuga Hiashi's sinister intentions. Then, once Hatake Kakashi calmed down, his eyes filled with seriousness, and he said solemnly, "Tsuki, with just the two of us, protecting the caravan might be a bit of a problem, wouldn't it?"

"There's nothing we can do but try our best."

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Yue used her spiritual energy to monitor the surroundings and slowly said to Hatake Kakashi beside her, "Kakashi, I don't want any stain on my record while on a mission. Therefore, our mission to escort the caravan must be completed! Moreover, the people who attacked us are mainly targeting those Hyuga Clan members; they have nothing to do with us. As long as we are careful, we still have a chance to protect the caravan!"

At this point, Uchiha Yue suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and abruptly reminded him, "Kakashi, he's here!"

Almost simultaneously with Uchiha Yue's words, Six Paths figures attacked him and his companions. All Six Paths were ninjas possessing Chakra. And, just as Uchiha Yue had predicted, their target wasn't the caravan they were escorting, but rather Uchiha Yue his group at the head of the caravan. Therefore, upon seeing the ninjas approaching, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi remained on Hyuga Hiashi, gathering all the caravan members together to protect them as much as possible.

As for Hyuga Hiashi and his new generation of elite Hyuga Clan members, Uchiha Yue could only pray that they would survive. At this moment, it wasn't that Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi didn't want to protect Hyuga Hiashi Hatake Kakashi; it was simply that they lacked the strength. If possible, as Konoha ninjas, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi could easily help Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Yue others, even if they disliked Hyuga Hiashi and the Hyuga Clan members.

However, with Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki absent, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi alone lacked the strength to aid Hyuga Hiashi and the others. Hyuga Hiashi clearly understood this, so even though Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi were merely protecting the caravan, Hyuga Hiashi Hyuga Clan ninjas had no complaints. Unfortunately for them, the attacking ninjas were clearly prepared, catching Hyuga Hiashi off guard the moment the battle began!

And...

To Uchiha Yue's utter surprise, at such a critical moment, Hyuga Hiashi was able to resort to a vicious scheme, using someone else to do his dirty work!

At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi, leading the new generation of elite Hyuga Clan, was desperately resisting the attacking ninjas. However, because the attacking ninjas were well-prepared, Hyuga Hiashi and his group were caught off guard. Just when Hyuga Hiashi felt he couldn't hold on any longer, in order to protect the intelligence he held, he shouted directly to Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi in the distance, "Tsuki-kun, Kakashi, you must protect Mikasa! Don't let these guys steal the intelligence!"
