"You've come at just the right time!"

Having just killed two Cloud Ninja, Nakatani Kenshin and Sawaguchi Mitsuhide, Uchiha Yue's mental energy was severely depleted, as both Nakatani Kenshin and Sawaguchi Mitsuhide were quite formidable. However, Uchiha Yue never expected Mo Chenfeng's reinforcements to arrive so timely. Had Uchiha Yue not killed Nakatani Kenshin and Sawaguchi Mitsuhide first, he would likely be the one facing a tough battle now.

In this Chunin Ninja Exams, few people have garnered Uchiha Yue's attention, and even fewer have been deemed worthy rivals. Hatake Kakashi of Konoha, Mei Terumi of Kirigakure, Sasori of the Red Sands of the Sunagakure are all among those Uchiha Yue pays attention to. However, the one who truly earns Uchiha Yue's Uchiha Yue and is called a formidable rival is the approaching Mo Chenfeng.

"Don't you need to leave?"

Using his Purple Eye to pinpoint Mo Chenfeng's location, Uchiha Yue turned to look at Mei Terumi behind him and said, "If you go into the cave to hide now, my companions can protect you. However, if you stay here to watch my battle with Mo Chenfeng, then Mo Chenfeng might very well kill you! Because, in front of Mo Chenfeng, I cannot guarantee your safety."

"No, I don't need to leave!"

As a rising elite of Kirigakure Mei Terumi possessed her own pride. So, the instant Uchiha Yue finished speaking, she solemnly said, "That's right, Uchiha Yue, Mo Chenfeng did defeat me, but that was because I was in extremely poor condition at the time. Now, if you can release my pressure points, I'm confident I can cooperate with you to kill Mo Chenfeng! How about it, do you want to join forces?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, Uchiha Yue frowned slightly and retorted, "Are you insulting me?"

"I.."

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Mei Terumi fell silent, for she now understood just how proud Uchiha Yue truly was.

Similarly, Mei Terumi slightly admired Uchiha Yue because she admired his courage. If Mei Terumi were facing Mo Chenfeng alone, she would definitely need help to cooperate so that she could be confident of killing him. But Uchiha Yue was different. Even though Uchiha Yue n't in the best condition, Uchiha Yue still insisted on defeating Mo Chenfeng. From this, Mei Terumi could see the gap between herself and Uchiha Yue, not only in strength but also in mentality.

Therefore, when Uchiha Yue arrived, Mei Terumi remained silent, waiting for the battle between Uchiha Yue and Mo Chenfeng to begin.

Immediately afterwards...

Mo Chenfeng finally appeared before Uchiha Yue. However, contrary to Uchiha Yue's expectations, Mo Chenfeng showed no anger whatsoever upon seeing Nakatani Kenshin and Sawaguchi Mitsuhide dead. It should be noted that with Nakatani Kenshin and Sawaguchi Mitsuhide dead, Mo Chenfeng had lost his qualification to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams!

However, looking at the corpses of Nakatani Kenshin and Sawaguchi Mitsuhide lying there, Mo Chenfeng showed no distress whatsoever at being eliminated. Instead, he smiled at Uchiha Yue in front of him and said, "Uchiha Yue, I knew Kenshin and Mitsuhide couldn't be your match. Their deaths at your hands are their good fortune! But since you killed my comrades and disqualified me from participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams, you'd better make it up to me properly, Uchiha Yue!"

"Oh? What kind of compensation do you want from me?"

Looking at Mo Chenfeng's relaxed smile, Uchiha Yue was equally assertive, smiling as she said, "Do you expect me to pay for this with my life?"

"Bing! Too bad there's no reward!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Mo Chenfeng slowly drew his katana from his waist and said calmly, "To be honest, Uchiha Yue, if it weren't for you participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams, I wouldn't have any interest in them at all. Actually, I only have one purpose in participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams, and that is to settle things with you! Now, even if Kenshin and Mitsuhide die here, I don't care. As long as I can fight you, then I've made the right decision to come to the Chunin Ninja Exams!"

With that, Mo Chenfeng held the katana he was gripping tightly in his right hand upright in front of him, gazing intently at the sword as if looking at a beloved person, and said, "Uchiha Yue, this sword of mine is named Divine Moon), and it was forged in imitation of my ancestor's sword. The real Divine Moon has long been buried in the dust of history. I named my sword Divine Moon so that one day it would be famous throughout the Shinobi World!"

"However, it will be a little difficult to make Divine Moon famous throughout the Shinobi World."

"Therefore, I plan to have Divine Moon absorb the blood of all the strong ninjas in the Shinobi World, becoming the most terrifying weapon in the Shinobi World!"

"Uchiha Yue, are you ready for battle?"

"Ah, interesting!"

Hearing Mo Chenfeng's words, Uchiha Yue's smile deepened, and he gripped his Ghost Tiger tightly, saying, "My sword is called Onitetsu, and I stole it from Sato Ryugan of Kirigakure! Mo Chenfeng, since you're so confident that Divine Moon can become the most terrifying weapon in the Shinobi World, then I won't hold back!"

"I accept your Divine Moon!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Uchiha Yue figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of Mo Chenfeng!

However, Mo Chenfeng seemed to have anticipated Uchiha Yue's impending attack. As he watched Uchiha Yue's rapidly approaching figure, he gently tiptoed!

"Um?"

Even though Uchiha Yue's spiritual energy was slightly depleted, he could still use his Purple Eye to perceive Mo Chenfeng's actions. Therefore, the instant Mo Chenfeng lightly tiptoed, Uchiha Yue in, Mo Chenfeng subtly shifted his toes. Immediately, Uchiha Yue realized that Mo Chenfeng's figure had vanished from the Purple Eye's perception range, as if he had disappeared into thin air!

"What bizarre footwork!"

Upon discovering that Mo Chenfeng's figure had mysteriously vanished, Uchiha Yue immediately realized that Mo Chenfeng had used that strange footwork to confuse his senses. It was something Uchiha Yue had never encountered since awakening his Purple Eye. Therefore, seeing Mo Chenfeng's figure disappear from the range of his Purple Eye's perception, Uchiha Yue then awakened his Sharingan in its Three-Tomoe form!

Sharingan!

"Open!"

Crimson pupils, with three black Tomoe spinning within them...

Uchiha Yue, Sharingan awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, was finally able to clearly see Mo Chenfeng's figure in front of him.

However, just as Uchiha Yue awakened his Sharingan, Mo Chenfeng's figure suddenly appeared in front of Uchiha Yue!

Moreover, at this distance, Uchiha Yue could clearly hear Mo Chenfeng's soft murmurs...

"Sharingan..."

"Uchiha Yue, are you finally going to show your full strength?"
