At this moment, in order to help Hatake Kakashi eliminate the toxins from his body and save his life, Uchiha Yue had no choice but to fight the giant Hatake Kakashi in front of him. If Uchiha Yue could kill the tarantula quickly, he would have time to treat Hatake Kakashi's injuries and eliminate the toxins. Conversely, if Uchiha Yue became entangled in a fight with the tarantula, Hatake Kakashi would likely die from the giant tarantula's terrifying venom!

Right now, Hatake Kakashi's life is in the hands of Uchiha Yue!

So, seeing the giant tarantula attacking, Uchiha Yue placed a secret medicine into Hatake Kakashi's mouth to slightly resist the poison invading his body. Then, Uchiha Yue, wielding the Hatake Kakashi Ghost Tiger, approached the giant tarantula, ready to reap its life!

Of course, before engaging the giant tarantula in battle, Uchiha Yue considered escaping with Hatake Kakashi. Unfortunately, the giant tarantula's speed far exceeded Uchiha Yue's expectations; at his current speed, it was impossible for him to escape with Uchiha Yue. This was precisely why Uchiha Yue had to fight the Hatake Kakashi tarantula head-on. The moment he reached the giant tarantula, he unleashed his Falling Uchiha Yue Falling Moon Sword Intent without hesitation!

"Falling Moon Style: Steel-Severing Flash!"

"Bang..."

Diving low to avoid the giant tarantula's stabbing forelegs, Uchiha Yue lowered his body slightly, thrusting his Ghost Tiger, straight at the giant tarantula's body. Moreover, knowing that the giant tarantula had incredible defense, Uchiha Yue the indestructible Steel-Severing Flash the moment he first attacked it!

However, the giant tarantula's defense exceeded Uchiha Yue's expectations. Seeing the Ghost Tiger land on the giant tarantula, only slightly scratching its forelegs, a look of surprise appeared in Uchiha Yue's eyes. He then quickly used the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist to dodge.

"Whoosh..."

Leaving behind a fleeting afterimage, Uchiha Yue behind the giant tarantula. Realizing that the Falling Moon Style Swordsmanship couldn't break through the giant tarantula's defenses, Uchiha Yue frowned, pondering other methods to deal with the giant tarantula before him.

However, Uchiha Yue never expected that the moment he arrived behind the giant tarantula, a glob of white liquid suddenly spurted from the giant tarantula's abdomen!

"Puff..."

Thanks to Uchiha Yue's constant use of his Purple Eye to observe the giant tarantula, otherwise Uchiha Yue might have already been entangled by the white liquid. Then, when Uchiha Yue looked at the white liquid sprayed by the giant tarantula, it landed on a rock behind it. The rock was instantly corroded by the white liquid sprayed by the giant tarantula, turning into a foul-smelling liquid in just a few seconds!

"What a troublesome fellow!"

Seeing how terrifying the white liquid sprayed by the giant tarantula was, Uchiha Yue dodged the giant tarantula's leg attacks one after another, thinking to himself:

"Right now, the Falling Moon Style swordsmanship won't be able to break through that wolf spider's defenses. I need to think of a way!"

"Damn it, if I could use my penetrating power right now, I could definitely defeat that wolf spider in front of me!"

"After all, even if that tarantula has amazing external defenses, its internal defenses certainly don't have that kind of strength!"

"If only I hadn't used my penetrating force so many times, causing such a serious injury to my right arm!"

Thinking this to himself, Uchiha Yue suddenly regretted forcing himself to use the Falling Moon Style: Penetrating Force so many times. Just as Uchiha Yue thought, if he could use the Penetrating Force now, he would definitely use the Falling Moon Style: Penetrating Force immediately to kill the giant tarantula in front of him.

However, Uchiha Yue had only recently recovered from his right arm injury. Unless Uchiha Yue planned to completely avoid using his right arm during the Chunin Ninja Exams, he couldn't use the Falling Moon Style: Penetrating Force to launch a powerful attack on the tarantula in front of him. After staring at the giant tarantula for a moment, Uchiha Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, then gathered his chakra and slowly channeled it into his Ghost Tiger.

In an instant, the chakra channeled into the Ghost Tiger was under Uchiha Yue's control, undergoing Wind Style Chakra nature transformation. Indeed, Uchiha Yue was preparing to use this Wind Style Chakra nature transformation to make his Ghost Tiger even sharper. Only in this way could Uchiha Yue break through the giant tarantula's defenses head-on and kill it!

"Buzz..."

Immediately afterward, the instant Uchiha Yue completed his Wind Chakra Nature Transformation, the Onitetsu Uchiha Yue in his hand changed shape. In just a few seconds, Wind Style Chakra enveloped the Ghost Tiger, transforming it into a giant blade. The moment the Ghost Tiger, a glint of light flashed in Uchiha Yue's eyes, and then, wielding the giant blade Onitetsu, he once again attacked the giant tarantula!

"Falling Moon Style - Edge of Exile!"

"Whoosh..."

Through long-term training, Uchiha Yue has gained a better grasp of the nature transformations of wind- Wind Style Chakra, but he hasn't yet mastered them to their full potential. Moreover, like Uzumaki Naruto in the original story, Uchiha Yue also uses the Shadow Clone Training Method to train his Wind Style Chakra nature transformations. Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue just one step away from completing the nature transformations of wind- Wind Style Chakra, but this crucial step has stumped him, preventing him from achieving his ultimate mastery.

Even so, the Falling Moon Style: Blade of Exile that Uchiha Yue is currently using can still enhance the sharpness of the Onitetsu. However, just as Uchiha Yue, wielding the Ghost Tiger which has transformed into a giant blade, attacked the giant tarantula, the giant tarantula unexpectedly attacked with its forelegs. Seeing the giant tarantula's attack coming, Uchiha Yue gripped the Ghost Tiger, which had transformed into a giant blade, in a backhand motion and slashed directly at the giant tarantula's forelegs!

"Bang..."

The Onitetsu, transformed into a giant blade, collided with the forelegs of the giant tarantula. However, to Uchiha Yue's slight disappointment, the Ghost Tiger, now a giant blade, still failed to break through the giant tarantula's defenses. But when Uchiha Yue used the Falling Moon Style: Edge of Exile to fight the giant Uchiha Yue suddenly recalled a sentence from Minato Namikaze's scroll of Wind Style Chakra insights.

Immediately afterwards...

The moment Uchiha Yue's gaze fell upon the giant tarantula before him once more, he murmured to himself:

"Thinner and sharper?"
