Returning to Licorice Town with Yuri Kurama to conceal their tracks was a cunning plan devised by Uchiha Yue. (Free portal {})

He unexpectedly injured the Sand Village Jonin, Lan Xiangrong, but the pursuing Sand Village ninja gave Uchiha Yue no chance to kill him. So Uchiha Yue could only watch helplessly as Lan Xiangrong collapsed, severely wounded, and continued to escape the Sand Village ninja's pursuit with Kurama Yuri. However, if Uchiha Yue continued to flee with Kurama Yuri, the Sand Village ninja would surely pursue them, forcing Uchiha Yue into a fierce battle.

In order to escape safely with Yuri Kurama, Uchiha Yue decided to take Yuri Kurama directly back to Licorice Town. After all, Sunagakure Licorice Town had already been searched by Sunagakure ninjas, and it was unlikely that they would search it again anytime soon. The easiest place to be discovered is often the hardest place to find. Uchiha Yue quickly came up with this plan of finding the place where it was most easily discovered, and then set off with Yuri Kurama back to Licorice Town.

However, before returning to Licorice Town, Uchiha Yue needed to bandage the wound on his left arm.

In saving Yuri Kurama's life from Lan Xiangrong, Uchiha Yue paid the price of a severe injury to his left arm. Of course, such an injury would not affect Uchiha Yue's fighting ability. However, in order to prevent bloodstains from giving away his whereabouts, Uchiha Yue planned to first bandage his wound, treat the injury slightly, and check if he had been poisoned.

Fortunately, Jonin -level ninja like Lan Xiangrong disdained using poison, so Uchiha Yue realized there was no toxin in his wound and continued forward after stopping the bleeding. However, evading the pursuit of those Sunagakure ninjas was not an easy task. Uchiha Yue had to stop and rest every three minutes or so to conceal his tracks.

Fortunately, there was a forest at the exit of the secret passage, which made it easy for Uchiha Yue to hide. If it weren't for Yuri Kurama Uchiha Yue, who was a burden, he could have even escaped the pursuit of the Sunagakure ninjas using the forest's concealment. Looking at his burden, Yuri Kurama, Uchiha Yue couldn't help but sigh deeply before continuing on his way back to Licorice Town.

Finally, after a full three hours, Uchiha Yue returned to Licorice Town with Yuri Kurama.

And, just as Uchiha Yue had predicted, the group of Sunagakure did not appear in Licorice Town. This allowed Uchiha Yue to easily find a house and hide there with Yuri Kurama. After hiding in a civilian's house, he first placed the unconscious Yuri Kurama in a secluded spot. In this way, even if the Sunagakure Uchiha Yue discovered Uchiha Yue's whereabouts, they would be unable to harm Yuri Kurama.

Immediately afterwards...

After settling Yuri Kurama, Uchiha Yue prepared to go out and gather some intelligence.

After all, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were in dire straits; they were completely unaware that the exit of the secret passage was guarded by Sunagakure ninja. Therefore, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were very likely surrounded by Sunagakure ninja. In order to gather information about Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, Uchiha Yue risked leaving Licorice Town, believing that if he could reunite with Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, he could safely leave the Land of Land of Medicine with Yuri Kurama.

But...

Just as Uchiha Yue had left Licorice Town, he suddenly encountered a Sunagakure squad on their way back to Licorice Town!

"Taro, do you know why Teacher Lan Xiangrong wants us to go back to Licorice Town to search?"

"Hey, it's all because of those Konoha ninjas! Teacher Xiangrong was injured by Konoha ninjas, and we're worried they'll retreat to Licorice Town to hide, so we came to gather intelligence!"

"Taro, Izumi, I, your teacher Lan Xiangrong, am being overly cautious. How could those Konoha guys possibly be hiding in Licorice Town!"

"Anpei is right. I think Professor Lan Xiangrong were unnecessary!"

"..."

Hidden in the shadows, Uchiha Yue overheard the conversation between the three Sunagakure ahead, and a serious look immediately appeared in his eyes. Clearly, Uchiha Yue hadn't expected that Lan Xiangrong knew him so well, even suspecting that he might have taken Yuri Kurama back to Licorice Town to hide. However, looking at the group of Sunagakure before him, all of them only Chunin- level, Uchiha Yue suddenly gripped his Ghost Tiger tightly, a chilling killing intent rising in his lips!

"Lan Xiangrong, since you've sent your ninjas to investigate, don't blame me!"

"Whoosh..."

Just as Uchiha Yue murmured these words, his figure instantly appeared in front of the three Sunagakure, and without the slightest hesitation, he slashed down with his Ghost Tiger. The edge of Ghost Tiger then reached one of the Sunagakure ninjas, who was already somewhat dissatisfied with Sunagakure Lan Xiangrong's suggestion and had shown no sign of vigilance on the way to Licorice Town, so naturally he couldn't dodge Uchiha Yue's attack.

Immediately afterwards...

The Chunin from Sunagakure died in Uchiha Yue's sneak attack, but the other two Sunagakure became alert at that moment.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Bang..."

The next second, a Chunin Sunagakure unleashed a Wind Release Ninjutsu at Uchiha Yue, but unfortunately, the opponent's Ninjutsu was a little slow, giving Uchiha Yue ample time to dodge. Moreover, the other Sunagakure ninja was Puppet Master, a type of ninja that Uchiha Yue was particularly vulnerable to. Immediately, just as Uchiha Yue dodged the Chunin's Wind Release Ninjutsu, he appeared before the Sunagakure, his Ghost Tiger aimed directly at the Puppet Master 'Sunagakure throat!

"Falling Moon Style: Steel-Severing Flash!"

"Whoosh..."

Having completely severed the Chakra Threads of the Sunagakure Puppet Master before him, Uchiha Yue's attack on the Puppet Master Sunagakure its fate. Moreover, within just a dozen seconds of the battle commencing, Uchiha Yue had killed two Sunagakure Puppet Master him, further eroding the courage Chunin the Sunagakure Chunin who had previously unleashed Wind Release Ninjutsu to continue fighting Uchiha Yue.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue couldn't let any of the Sunagakure ninjas in front of her go, otherwise the Sunagakure ninjas would have continued to investigate the situation in Licorice Town.

Therefore, seeing that the Sunagakure Chunin in front of him was about to escape, Uchiha Yue prepared to press his advantage and wipe out the entire Sunagakure team!

However, what Uchiha Yue never expected was that behind this Sunagakure team, there was actually a Sand Village ninja of Jonin level hidden!

"Moon Lord, we meet again!"
