The appearance of Yakunin Village in Licorice Town didn't surprise Uchiha Yue at all. After all, they were located within the Land of Land of Medicine, and in a town close to the front Land of Medicine. It was quite normal for Yakunin Village ninjas to occasionally come for supplies. However, when Uchiha Yue looked at the Yakunin Village ninja in front of him, a strong fighting spirit immediately appeared in his eyes. Clearly, he wanted to have a good fight with the Yakunin Village in front of him and warm up his muscles.

However, Uchiha Yue had forgotten that Yuri Kurama was still beside him. So, just as Uchiha Yue was preparing for battle, Yuri Kurama Uchiha Yue at him with concern and asked, "Tsuki-kun, who is he? Are you... are you going to fight him?"

"Lily, don't worry."

His gaze shifted to Yuri Kurama behind him, Uchiha Yue smiled, saying, "He must be an enemy ninja. I have to deal with him here. Don't worry, I can't possibly lose, so just close your eyes and wait for me. After I've taken care of him, I'll take you for a stroll around town."

"Okay."

Hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Yuri Kurama obediently hid in the nearby bushes, and even closed her eyes tightly as instructed. However, just as Uchiha Yue's gaze shifted back to the Yakunin Village ninja in front of her, the Yakunin Village lazily stretched, sighed deeply, and said, "Sigh, I just wanted to sneak off to a nearby town for a nap, who would have thought I'd encounter enemy ninjas here."

Then, the ninja from Yakunin Village looked at Uchiha Yue, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "From Konoha?"

"That's right!"

As soon as the Yakunin Village ninja in front of him finished speaking, Uchiha Yue, who wasn't carrying his Ghost Tiger, took out a Kunai from his ninja tool pouch and said, "It's been a whole month, and none of the Yakunin Village have explored Licorice Town. You must have come to Licorice Town with your team to resupply, right? It's a pity you ran into me here. You're really unlucky. It seems your companions are destined not to see you return alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Yue had no intention of wasting any more words with the Yakunin Village in front of him, and went straight to him.

Judging from the attire of the Yakunin Village ninja in front of him, he should also be Genin from Yakunin Village. Therefore, Uchiha Yue felt that defeating him would be no problem at all; he would only need to loosen his muscles a little. However, the moment Uchiha Yue reached the Yakunin Village ninja, the Yakunin Village actually dodged Uchiha Yue's attack, causing Uchiha Yue to narrow his eyes slightly, a serious expression appearing on his face.

Then, after the Yakunin Village ninja distanced himself from Uchiha Yue, a scroll appeared in his right hand. He then sneered, "I just heard that girl call you Tsuki-kun. Could you be the very famous Uchiha Yue on the front lines? You killed twenty of my Sunagakure ninjas on the front lines and even infiltrated the Land of Medicine with your team to carry out a mission. Your strength is not bad; you should be worth my time!"

"Sunagakure?"

Upon hearing the words of the person in front of him, Uchiha Yue instantly realized that the other person was not a ninja from Yakunin Village, but a ninja from Sunagakure.

As for the scroll held by the Sunagakure ninja, it should be the scroll that seals the puppet.

At this moment, even Uchiha Yue felt a pang of sympathy for the Sunagakure Puppet Master in front of him, after all, Uchiha Yue was someone who could completely counter the Sunagakure Puppet Master!

Immediately afterwards...

Before the Sunagakure Puppet Master could even open the scroll, Uchiha Yue attacked again, wielding Kunai. However, the Sunagakure ninja's agility slightly exceeded Uchiha Yue's expectations. In two consecutive attacks, Uchiha Yue failed to land a single hit on the Sunagakure Puppet Master. And in the instant he dodged Uchiha Yue's attacks, the Sunagakure Puppet Master opened the scroll and retrieved his puppet.

Controlling the puppet in his hand with Chakra Threads, the Sunagakure Puppet Master lazily attacked Uchiha Yue with the puppet, his eyes gleaming with confidence, as if he felt he could easily defeat Uchiha Yue. However, even without the Ghost Tiger, Uchiha Yue could still use ordinary Kunai and unleash the Falling Moon Sword Intent to face the Sunagakure Puppet Master.

"Falling Moon Style: Clone Slash!"

"Whoosh..."

The next second, Uchiha Yue, who was using the Falling Moon Sword Intent to fight, directly used the Clone Slash, the most lethal technique against Puppet Master, to attack the Sunagakure Puppet Master in front of him. Moreover, due to Minato Namikaze's teachings, Uchiha Yue's mastery of Wind Style Chakra nature transformation had become even stronger. Therefore, the Shadow Clone Slash that Uchiha Yue used at this Clone Slash was much more powerful than before, instantly severing all the Chakra Threads of the Sunagakure Puppet Master in front of him.

"Oh? Interesting!"

Upon realizing that Uchiha Yue had severed his Chakra Threads, the Sunagakure Puppet Master's expression finally turned serious, his eyes burning with the same intense fighting spirit as Uchiha Yue's. However, just as the Sunagakure Puppet Master became focused, Uchiha Yue's figure had already appeared before him. Moreover, the Kunai in Uchiha Yue's hand was close to the Sunagakure Puppet Master 'Puppet Master throat, about to reap his life.

But...

Just as Uchiha Yue was about to finish off the Sunagakure Puppet Master in front of him, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of Uchiha Yue!

"Bang..."

At that moment, Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to directly perceive that another puppet had appeared in front of him. Moreover, looking at the appearance of the puppet in front of him, Uchiha Yue had a feeling of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before. However, before Uchiha Yue had any time to think, the Sunagakure Puppet Master controlled the previous puppet and attacked Uchiha Yue in an instant!

"Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist!"

"Whoosh..."

Not wanting to be attacked from both sides by the Sunagakure Puppet Master controlling his puppets, Uchiha Yue only needed to use the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist to dodge. However, when Uchiha Yue once again created distance between himself and the Sunagakure Puppet Master, he looked at the Puppet Master Uchiha Yue a slight smile suddenly appeared on his lips. He said, "The Puppet Master you just used, was it the Ibuse?"

"I never imagined that I would encounter a talented Puppet Master from Sunagakure in a town in the Land of Medicine!"

"Sasori of the Red Sands!"

Did I call you by the wrong name?
