Escape!

Seeing that he was about to collide with that dark figure, Uchiha Yue's only remaining thought was to escape!

Jonin- level ninjas are beyond the capabilities of Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi. At present, Uchiha Yue's overall strength is slightly inferior to that of an elite Chunin, while Hatake Kakashi is slightly weaker than Uchiha Yue, only at the level of an ordinary Chunin. As for Sarutobi Danzō, he is simply a burden.

Therefore, it would be incredibly difficult for Uchiha Yue, along with Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Danzō, to defeat a Jonin- level ninja!

Moreover, that Jonin -level ninja was proficient in Lightning Release Ninjutsu, making him extremely fast. In addition, being proficient in Lightning Release Ninjutsu meant he knew how to use Lightning Release Chakra to activate his own cells and enhance his speed. Soon, the black shadow was getting closer and closer to Uchiha Yue the others, almost catching up with them!

"Damn it, if this continues, we're all going to die at that guy's hands!"

"No, I have to stop him!"

Thinking this to himself, Uchiha Yue took a deep breath and turned to Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Danzō beside him, saying, "Kakashi, Danzo, running away like this won't get us anywhere! I'll stay here and hold off that hunter! You two don't hesitate at all, just run straight to the Central Tower, understand? As long as you can get the information to Hizashi- Hizashi, he'll definitely send someone to rescue me!"

"Moon Lord, if you want to stay, then stay with us!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, a resolute look appeared in Sarutobi Danzō's eyes. He stubbornly said, "Tsuki-kun, I listened to you just now. That hunter is very likely Jonin- level ninja! Tsuki-kun, I admit you are strong, but if you are going to fight Jonin -level ninja, you will also face certain death! If you are going to die here alone, then let's die together! I've decided, I will accompany you to fight that hunter. The task of passing on information will be left to Kakashi -kun!"

"Madness!"

Just as Sarutobi Danzō finished speaking, before Uchiha Yue could even reprimand him, Hatake Kakashi coldly snorted, "Sarutobi Danzō, who do you think you are? If it weren't for me and Yue, you wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams! Now, if you stay with Yue to deal with that hunter, you'll only be a hindrance! If you don't want to die, come with me!"

Then, Hatake Kakashi turned his gaze to Uchiha Yue and said solemnly, "Tsukuyomi, the person I most wanted to face in the Chunin Ninja Exams was you! You must survive!"

"Don't worry, he can't do anything to me!"

Without a doubt, Hatake Kakashi, having served on the battlefield, was far calmer than Sarutobi Danzō in this situation. Moreover, Hatake Kakashi was also very clear that if he and Sarutobi Danzō stayed, they would only be a burden to Uchiha Yue. Therefore, at this critical moment, Hatake Kakashi could only grit his teeth and escape with Sarutobi Danzō Uchiha Yue alone to deal with the enemies behind.

Of course, given Hatake Kakashi's words, Uchiha Yue could only admire Hatake Kakashi's maturity and couldn't Hatake Kakashi him for leaving him alone. After all, if Hatake Kakashi stayed, Uchiha Yue would also bear the heavy responsibility of protecting Hatake Kakashi. Only when Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Danzō were gone could Uchiha Yue focus on dealing with the hunter behind them!

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

Immediately afterwards, Hatake Kakashi bit his lower lip and finally disappeared from Uchiha Yue's sight with Sarutobi Danzō.

At the same time, Uchiha Yue stopped in his tracks, standing alone with his Ghost Tiger, waiting for the hunters behind him to arrive.

In just two minutes, the hunter who was chasing him arrived in front of Uchiha Yue.

However, the hunter, seeing Uchiha Yue alone there, asked with considerable curiosity, "Uchiha Yue? You actually stayed behind by yourself?"

"As expected, you possess information about me."

Hearing the hunter's words, Uchiha Yue's lips curled into a cold smile. "Now can you reveal your true identity, Jonin- sensei?"

"Haha, what an interesting ghost!"

Upon hearing this, the hunter laughed loudly, his eyes filled with disdain, and said, "Uchiha Yue, the fact that you stayed behind alone to stop me proves that you care about your village! It's just a pity that all the information I have comes from Konoha, so it's your Konoha that wants to get rid of you, not me! After you go to hell, if you have any resentment, it will be that you were born in Konoha!"

"Also, I'll take your Sharingan its Three-Tomoe form!"

"Thank you!"

The hunter had barely finished speaking when he unleashed the Chakra beneath his feet, directly attacking Uchiha Yue!

"Sizzle..."

As soon as he approached Uchiha Yue, he could clearly see with his Purple Eye that the kunai in the hunter's hand was wrapped in dense Lightning Release Chakra. Realizing that his opponent was a master of Lightning Release, Uchiha Yue dared not be Kunai in the slightest. Then, wielding his Ghost Tiger, Uchiha Yue began to unleash Wind Style Chakra nature transformation and launched an attack on the hunter in front of him.

"Bang..."

In an instant, Uchiha Yue and the hunter's figures crossed paths, completing the first round of probing.

However, just as Uchiha Yue regained his balance, he suddenly noticed that the sturdy Onitetsu in his hand had developed a barely perceptible crack the moment it collided with the hunter's Kunai. And this crack alone caused a look of shock to appear in Uchiha Yue's eyes.

Because Uchiha Yue was very clear about the sturdiness of the materials used to make Onitetsu, the fact that the hunter could cause cracks in Onitetsu, which was made of Wind Style Chakra, simply by using the Kunai in his hand clearly showed that the hunter possessed extremely high skill in Lightning Release.

That's right, under normal circumstances, Wind Release can counter Lightning Release!

However, when the powerful Lightning Release clashes with the weak Wind Release, the Wind Release cannot suppress the Lightning Release, and may even be suppressed by the Lightning Release instead!

Just as water can extinguish fire, but if the temperature of the flame is too high, it can also evaporate the water!

Right now, the hunter's mastery of Lightning Release Ninjutsu is enough to use Lightning Release to counter Uchiha Yue's Wind Release!

However, Uchiha Yue no sign of discouragement upon seeing the cracks Onitetsu in his Kitetsu. In fact, when he turned to the hunter in front of him, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he murmured:

"Finally, can I spar with a true master?"
