"Bang..."

The situation before him surprised Uchiha Yue a little, because the Sand Ninja Anpei in front of him actually used Kunai to block the Ghost Tiger!

Clearly, Uchiha Yue hadn't anticipated that the Sand Ninja Anpei possessed such strength. After all, Anpei's previous performance had been dismal; he had nearly abandoned his comrades and fled, and had even had his life threatened twice by Uchiha Yue. However, once Uchiha Yue that Anpei had blocked his attack, his gaze immediately turned serious, and he launched another attack on Anpei!

"Falling Moon Style: Clone Slash!"

"Whoosh..."

This time, Uchiha Yue used the Clone Technique without hesitation, and the clone he created attacked Sand Ninja Anpei from an unexpected angle. However, Sand Ninja Anpei surprised Uchiha Yue once again, because the moment Uchiha Yue's clone reached Sand Ninja Anpei, Sand Ninja Anpei seemed to have anticipated that Uchiha Yue's clone possessed offensive capabilities. Immediately, Sand Ninja Anpei threw the Kunai in his hand, which flew towards Uchiha Yue!

"Thump..."

However, Anpei's attack also failed. Uchiha Yue simply parried with his Ghost Tiger, blocking the Kunai thrown by Abe. Then, Uchiha Yue closed in on Anpei and used the Hatake Sword Style to press him down, hoping to take advantage of Abe's confusion and kill Anpei.

Unfortunately, ever since Abe no Anpei left Uchiha Yue's sight, he seems like a completely different person. Now, Abe's overall demeanor is nothing like that of Chunin from Anpei; he's more like Jonin Sunagakure. Moreover, just as Uchiha Yue Sunagakure pressing forward with his Hatake Sword Style, Anpei was able to detect Uchiha Yue's weakness and land a heavy punch on Uchiha Yue's cheek.

"Bang..."

Abe, a Sand Anpei, punched Uchiha Yue the cheek, sending him flying.

After being thrown back more than ten meters, Uchiha Yue barely managed to regain control of his body and land steadily on the ground.

However, just as Uchiha Yue's eyes were filled with killing intent and he was about to attack Sand Ninja Anpei again, Anpei shrugged helplessly and said, "Yue, you've disappointed me somewhat. You're a sensory-type ninja, you should have sensed my identity by now, right?"

Suddenly, Abe no Anpei was enveloped in a cloud of white mist. Then, as the mist gradually dissipated, Kushina Uzumaki appeared in the same spot.

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki's teasing gaze, Uchiha Yue couldn't help but blush slightly, clearly realizing his mistake.

Originally, when Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to perceive Abe no Anpei, he sensed something strange about Anpei's Chakra. Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue had just finished a Lan Xiangrong battle with Arashi Sho-jung, and his mind was at its most tense, so he didn't carefully observe Anpei's identity. Now, with the appearance of Kushina Uzumaki, Uchiha Yue realized his mistake; the Anpei before him wasn't a Sunagakure ninja at all, but rather Kushina Uzumaki in disguise.

"No wonder, I, a Sand Ninja named Anpei, could not possibly possess such strength."

Thinking this to himself, Uchiha Yue smiled wryly at Kushina Uzumaki in front of him and said, "Kushina, since you already knew it was me, why did you still punch me!" With that, Uchiha Yue also deactivated his Transformation Technique, rubbed his bruised cheek, and continued, "Since I was separated from you, I've been on edge the whole time. You knew it was me disguised as a Sand Ninja, you should have told me sooner!"

"Moon-kun, but this isn't Kushina's fault!"

Just as Uchiha Yue was speaking, Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared in front of him, a faint smile playing on his lips. He said, "Kushina probably didn't realize at first that the Minato Namikaze Sunagakure ninja was actually you in disguise. It was only when you used the Falling Moon Style Ninjutsu that Kushina discovered your identity, which is why she deliberately played a trick on you!"

"What do you mean by 'playing around'!"

Hearing Minato Namikaze's words, Kushina Uzumaki looked displeased and corrected him, "I'm going to teach Light a lesson, you know?"

"Okay, Kushina, I understand!"

As Kushina Uzumaki reached this point, Minato Namikaze's smile gradually faded. He said, "I'm sorry, Tsuki-kun. We didn't realize at first that those Sunagakure bastards had discovered the secret passage that Kushina and I had dug. Moreover, if we hadn't asked you to protect Lily, you probably would have already broken through. So, these are all our mistakes, Tsuki-kun, please accept our apologies!"

"Minato- kun, you don't need to do that."

At this moment, Uchiha Yue waved his hand lightly, saying nonchalantly, "As long as we're all safe now, there's no problem." Then, as if remembering something, he continued, "Right, I've Lily Uchiha Yue Licorice Town. Let's go pick her up now. Once we get Lily, we can break through smoothly. Since Kushina was disguised as a Sand Village ninja, there shouldn't be any Sunagakure ninja blocking our way. Let's go back to Licorice Town now!"

"Good!"

After Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki nodded in agreement, Uchiha Yue accompanied them back to Licorice Town and retrieved Yuri Kurama without any hindrance. However, Yuri Kurama's Genjutsu remained unbroken, Uchiha Yue hoped that when she awoke, she would find herself in the Land of Land of Fire. Afterward, once Uchiha Yue Minato Namikaze Yuri Kurama, they prepared to discuss their escape plan.

However, in Uchiha Yue's view, since Abe no Anpei had been killed by Kushina Uzumaki, the resistance from the Sunagakure ninjas ahead must be very weak. Therefore, taking advantage of the Sunagakure ninjas' lack of vigilance, Uchiha Yue suggested that they head to the border of the Land of Medicine as soon as possible. Then, after Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki felt that Uchiha Yue's suggestion was feasible, Uchiha Yue and the others set off again, taking advantage of the night to arrive directly at the border of the Land of Medicine.

But...

Don't assume that just because they've reached the border of the Land of Medicine, Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze will be able to break out.

After all, the battle on the front lines is currently at a stalemate, and the front lines of the Land of Medicine are riddled with hidden sentries, making it no easy task to leave.

Especially after Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to perceive the surrounding situation, his expression turned even more gloomy.

Then, Uchiha Yue said very seriously to Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki in front of him, "Minato- kun, Kushina, it might be difficult for us to break through!"
