"Then I'll have to trouble you, Fugaku." (Fastest updates)

Upon hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Yue didn't need to be polite and directly placed the Uchiha Fugaku scroll in front of him. Uchiha Fugaku didn't disappoint Uchiha Yue either; looking at the intelligence scroll, he held a vermilion pen and marked several names on it before placing it back in Uchiha Yue Uchiha Fugaku.

However, Hatake Kakashi was curious about how Uchiha Yue and Uchiha Fugaku managed to mark the important targets on the intelligence scroll.

Then, Hatake Kakashi leaned close to Uchiha Yue and whispered, "Tsukuyomi, are all the guys marked with vermilion ink on the scroll very strong?"

"Yeah, they're all formidable rivals!"

Hatake Kakashi finished speaking, Uchiha Yue took a deep breath, then pointed to the intelligence scroll in front of him and slowly said, "The first person I marked is Sasori of the Red Sands from Sunagakure. Kakashi, I fought Sasori of the Red Sands on the front lines. Even though I possessed the power to counter Sunagakure's Puppet Master, Sasori of the Red Sands still held his own against me. I think if you were to fight Sasori of the Red Sands, you'd likely suffer a loss!"

"Losing out?"

At this moment, Hatake Kakashi raised his eyebrows slightly and retorted, "Moon, don't look at me like that, I've been training hard lately too!"

"No, it's not a problem of cultivation, but a problem of self-control."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yue gently shook his head and said, "Kakashi, I don't mean to belittle you, but if you're going to fight Sasori of the Red Sands, I hope you'll be careful. At this stage, you mainly practice the Hatake Sword Style and have a deep understanding of it, as I know very well. However, Sasori of the Red Sands is skilled in using poison, which is almost a perfect counter to close-combat ninjas. If it weren't for my formidable Medical Ninjutsu skills, I wouldn't dare to completely defeat Sasori of the Red Sands."

With that, Uchiha Yue's finger landed on the scroll again, and he continued, "And the second ninja I marked is Mei Terumi from Kirigakure. To be honest, I've never fought Mei Terumi's one of the most talented Genin in Kirigakure. You know, the Genin graduation exam in Kirigakure is extremely brutal. To be able to stand out from countless Genin shows that Mei Terumi's strength is in no way inferior to yours or mine!"

"Moon Lord, you are truly amazing!"

After listening to Uchiha Yue's analysis, Uchiha Fugaku gave a slight thumbs-up and praised him.

However, after Uchiha Fugaku's praise, he couldn't help but frown slightly and asked, "But Tsuki-kun, in the information I've gathered, Kirigakure's teammates in Mei Terumi shouldn't have any outstanding Genin, right? But why did you label Kisame Hoshigaki, a Kirigakure? Is he very strong?"

As soon as Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, Uchiha Yue scratched his head with a wry smile. He couldn't possibly possess the memories of two lifetimes, could he?

Undoubtedly, Uchiha Yue marked Mei Terumi and Kisame Hoshigaki by name because of their immense strength in the original story. Mei Terumi the future Fifth Mizukage, she possesses terrifying power. As for Kisame Hoshigaki, he is a future member of the Akatsuki organization. While he may not currently wield a formidable weapon like Kisame Hoshigaki, he is clearly a ninja not to be Samehada, and Kisame Hoshigaki Uchiha Yue to be equally cautious.

However, just as Uchiha Yue was standing there in silence, he suddenly saw that Uchiha Fugaku had marked a ninja from Kumogakure on the scroll.

Immediately, Uchiha Yue looked at the name of the Kumogakure ninja and asked in confusion, "Fugaku- kun, is this Kumogakure ninja named Mo Chenfeng very strong?"

"Moon Lord, please don't look at him!"

Just as Uchiha Yue was saying this, Uchiha Fugaku frowned and said gravely, "If it weren't for our intelligence network's ability to infiltrate the Kumogakure, we might not have been able to obtain information about Mo Chenfeng! Yue-kun, Mo Chenfeng is the Third Raikage's last disciple, and it's rumored that he's proficient in Lightning Release Ninjutsu and swordsmanship. He's one of your formidable rivals!"

"Oh? A disciple of the Third Raikage?"

As soon as Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, Uchiha Yue nodded solemnly, becoming even more wary of this Kumogakure ninja named Mo Chenfeng.

Later, after Uchiha Yue, Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Fugaku briefly discussed the important targets on the intelligence scroll, Hatake Kakashi prepared to take his leave. After all, Hatake Kakashi had been bothering Uchiha Yue for quite some time, and since he still needed to train, he left Uchiha Yue 'Hatake Kakashi house.

Finally seeing Hatake Kakashi leave, Uchiha Fugaku was finally able to have some serious business to discuss with Uchiha Yue.

Then, Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Yue in front of him and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Tsukuyomi-kun, you must be careful Chunin Ninja Exams! According to the intelligence I've gathered, Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and even Iwagakure are all preparing to attack you, so you must be wary of those on the list! Moreover, things have been rather unsettled within Konoha lately, so don't trust anyone except your teammates!"

"Internal?"

Just as Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, Uchiha Yue frowned and asked, "The Hyuga Clan?"

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku nodded heavily and said, "Now, the Hyuga Clan has finally gained the merit to fight against our Uchiha Clan, thanks to their achievements on the front lines. However, the Uchiha Clan Hyuga Clan needs to accumulate more strength to completely defeat us. Right now, in the eyes of those Hyuga Clan members, you are a thorn in their side! Therefore, those Hyuga Clan members will definitely make a move Chunin Ninja Exams, so be careful!"

"Don't worry, the Hyuga Clan poses no threat to me."

Having received instructions from Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Yue smiled slightly and said confidently.

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's confidence, Uchiha Yue's worries lessened somewhat. After all, Uchiha Yue had never disappointed Uchiha Fugaku, so Uchiha Fugaku Uchiha Yue would succeed, not only humiliating all the ninjas from other villages, but also suppressing the rising Hyuga Clan members once again.

But...

After Uchiha Fugaku left, Uchiha Yue was alone in his room, feeling somewhat depressed.

However, when Uchiha Yue's gaze fell on the intelligence scroll again, he looked at the names marked with cinnabar marks and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Sasori of the Red Sands, don't let me down!"
