"Mr. Hizashi?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Uchiha Yue immediately recognized the person as Hizashi Hyuga, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. (^^)/ |*#Say|Update|Fastest|(^^)/ {}
It's worth noting that Hizashi Hyuga Uchiha Yue left their residence almost simultaneously with Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze. Yet, Kushina Uzumaki had vanished before Uchiha Yue's eyes, and Hizashi Hyuga had appeared beside him, leaving Uchiha Yue somewhat confused. However, upon hearing Hizashi Hyuga's voice, Uchiha Yue suppressed his bewilderment and prepared to continue his infiltration into the strange house.
However, just as Uchiha Yue had taken two steps, Hizashi Hyuga blocked his way, his face grave. "Tsuki-kun, don't infiltrate any further. If I'm not mistaken, the entire Uchiha Yue Licorice Town is already surrounded by ninjas from Yakunin Village and Sunagakure. We need to quickly inform Kushina and Minato; any later and it will be difficult for us to break through!"
"Good!"
As soon as Hizashi Hyuga finished speaking, Uchiha Yue nodded heavily and then prepared to leave with Hizashi Hyuga.
But...
As Uchiha Yue turned to leave, he deliberately used his Purple Eye to observe Hizashi Hyuga, fearing that the man might actually be a ninja from Sunagakure or Yakunin Village in disguise. However, when he used his Purple Eye to observe Hizashi Hyuga Uchiha Yue again, he found no flaws. Since even his Purple Eye couldn't detect anything Hizashi Hyuga, Uchiha Yue could finally leave with peace of mind. However, he was still somewhat puzzled: where had Hizashi Hyuga Kushina Uzumaki gone?
Then, Uchiha Yue followed Hizashi Hyuga away from the house. However, the place Hizashi Hyuga led Uchiha Yue to didn't seem to be their residence. Previously, Uchiha Yue, along with Kushina Uzumaki, had only infiltrated the neighboring house to gather information. Therefore, after Hyuga Hizashi Hyuga had led Uchiha Yue quite a distance, Uchiha Yue finally realized something was wrong. He then gripped the Ghost Tiger on his back with his right hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"Oh? You've been seen through?"
Just as Uchiha Yue was speaking, Hizashi Hyuga suddenly gave him a wicked smile, then calmly said, "I never expected that the Genin of Konoha would be so discerning, able to see through my identity. If I remember correctly, you are Uchiha Yue of Konoha? You seem to have forgotten me. We fought each other in the Land of Land of Fire before, do you remember?"
"You, you were the ninja who ambushed us back then!"
Just as the other person said this, Uchiha Yue suddenly realized that the guy in front of him was the same Jonin ninja who had led the refugees to attack the Mikasa Caravan in the Land of Land of Fire. Moreover, it was this same ninja who had lured away Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, leading to Uchiha Tsukuyomi being assassinated by Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Yue in the Land of Land of Fire, almost costing him and Hatake Kakashi their lives.
Immediately afterwards...
Once the ninja in front of Uchiha Yue removed his disguise, his identity was directly revealed to him—it was Lan Xiangrong Uchiha Yue!
"It really is you!"
Seeing that his opponent had revealed his true identity, Uchiha Yue immediately realized that he and Kushina Uzumaki Yakunin Village Sunagakure. However, Uchiha Yue knew that Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze couldn't come to his aid at the moment, so he could only confront Lan Xiangrong. Moreover, Uchiha Yue felt that if he could buy some time, Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze would definitely have a chance to come to his rescue.
But...
Uchiha Yue was still somewhat confused as to why his Purple Eye couldn't see through Lan Xiangrong's Transformation Technique!
However, before Uchiha Yue could have any time to think, the Jonin named Lan Xiangrong Uchiha Yue had already arrived in front of him!
Back when Uchiha Yue first clashed with Lan Xiangrong, he knew that Lan Xiangrong was a ninja skilled in swordsmanship. Now, Lan Xiangrong, wielding a sharp katana, had come straight to Uchiha Yue. However, because Uchiha Yue's injuries had not fully healed, he wanted to avoid Lan Xiangrong.
Without hesitation, Uchiha Yue immediately Hand Seals with his left hand!
"Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist!"
"Whoosh..."
In an instant, Uchiha Yue used the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist to dodge the opponent's attack, leaving only an afterimage in place.
However, to Uchiha Yue's utter surprise, when he used the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist, Lan Xiangrong in front of him let out a cold laugh.
"Can the same trick work twice?"
As soon as Lan Xiangrong finished speaking, Uchiha Yue saw Lan Xiangrong's figure appear directly in front of his true form.
At this moment, it would be impossible for Uchiha Yue not to be surprised!
Because Uchiha Yue never expected that Lan Xiangrong, who was standing in front of him, could see through his Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist in one go, and even instantly perceive his true form. Seeing Lan Xiangrong attacking him, Uchiha Yue gritted his teeth, then gripped his Ghost Tiger, gathered the Falling Moon Style Swordsmanship, and used the Falling Moon Style sword technique!
"Falling Moon Style: Sky-Piercing Slash!"
"Whoosh..."
The next second, Uchiha Yue's figure appeared in front of Lan Xiangrong, but Lan Xiangrong, possessing Jonin-level strength, easily dodged Uchiha Yue's attack. However, at the same time, Uchiha Yue finally realized that something was slightly wrong with the situation. Because, at this moment, Uchiha Yue suddenly realized that after consuming chakra to use the Falling Moon Style: Sky-Piercing Slash, the chakra in his body had not decreased at all; it was completely in a state of zero consumption!
"How is that possible?"
"I just used Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist, and even Falling Moon Style: Sky-Piercing Slash. How could my chakra be completely depleted?"
"Moreover, when I used my Purple Eye earlier, I didn't even see through the disguise of the Jonin in front of me!"
"What exactly happened?"
Thinking this to himself, Uchiha Yue's state of mind was inevitably stirred. However, Uchiha Yue 'Lan Xiangrong figure appeared before him once again, leaving him no time to ponder the matter. Immediately afterward, Uchiha Yue engaged in battle with Lan Xiangrong. But Uchiha Yue was now even more confused. This Lan Xiangrong, who possessed Jonin-level strength, didn't seem as powerful as Uchiha Yue had imagined.
And...
After exchanging a few blows with Lan Xiangrong Uchiha Yue, Uchiha Yue noticed a fatal flaw in Lan Xiangrong!
Immediately afterwards...
Uchiha Yue didn't waste the opportunity presented to him, seizing the opening that Xiang Rong had made, preparing to kill him directly!
However, when Uchiha Yue came to Lan Xiangrong's side, Lan Xiangrong's appearance suddenly changed again!
