"Whoosh..."

The moment Shikaku Nara announced the start of the match, Uchiha Yue's figure shot out like a cannonball and arrived right in front of Mishima Hideyoshi!

Moreover, as Uchiha Yue gradually approached Mishima Hideyoshi, he gripped his newly forged katana, Fubuki. Clearly, even though Uchiha Yue knew that Mishima Hideyoshi was no match for him, he still showed no interest in Mishima Hideyoshi Uchiha Yue, focusing all his attention on defeating Mishima Hideyoshi.

At the same time, Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to perceive and gather information about Mishima Hideyoshi. Immediately, sensing the chakra fluctuations within Mishima Hideyoshi's body, which had already undergone Earth Release chakra nature transformation, Uchiha Yue knew that Mishima Hideyoshi was a ninjutsu-type ninja. Just like Uchiha Yue's teammate Sarutobi Danzō, who was proficient in Earth Release ninjutsu.

As expected, Uchiha Yue's deduction was entirely correct. Seeing Uchiha Yue approaching, Mishima Hideyoshi formed hand Hand Seals, preparing to unleash a ninjutsu.

Under normal circumstances, Uchiha Yue would be able to interrupt Mishima Hideyoshi's Hand Seals using his own speed. After all, Uchiha Yue had trained with Tsunade for a long time and had even mastered the nature transformation of Wind Style Chakra. Therefore, if Uchiha Yue were to unleash his full speed, Mishima Hideyoshi would have no chance of casting a ninjutsu given his Hand Seals speed.

However, just as Uchiha Yue was about to accelerate, he remembered Shikaku Nara's advice!

"Damn it, are we just supposed to watch him Hand Seals?"

Cursing inwardly, Uchiha Yue deliberately slowed down, giving Mishima Hideyoshi time to Hand Seals.

And Mishima Hideyoshi didn't disappoint Uchiha Yue. The instant Uchiha Yue slowed down, Mishima Hideyoshi had already completed the Hand Seals. However, Uchiha Yue hadn't expected that Mishima Hideyoshi would actually use a defensive Earth Release ninjutsu. Immediately, within the range of Uchiha Yue's Purple Eye, he sensed that Mishima Hideyoshi was using his own Earth Release chakra to manipulate the surrounding soil, erecting an earthen wall in front of him!

"Earth Release ·Earth Formation Wall!"

"Boom..."

An earthen wall blocked Uchiha Yue 'Uchiha Yue attack.

Moreover, Mishima Hideyoshi appeared very confident during the battle; he even believed that his ninjutsu could withstand Uchiha Yue's attacks!

At this moment, looking at the confident look in Mishima Hideyoshi's eyes, Uchiha Yue really wanted to ask him, "Who gave Mishima Hideyoshi this confidence?"

The next second...

Just as Uchiha Yue approached the earthen wall, the Fubuki Tachi in his hand instantly emitted a bright blue chakra light!

"Buzz..."

The Uchiha Yue Fubuki Tachi, fused with the precious materials of the Onitetsu and Divine Moon, was now more durable than Onitetsu. Therefore, even without using Wind Style Chakra, Uchiha Yue could break through the earthen wall in front of him. However, to make the match more exciting, Uchiha Yue still used elemental chakra, and even deliberately made the Divine Moon wall break in a Fubuki Tachi more aesthetically pleasing way.

Then, the earthen wall blocking Uchiha Yue's path was instantly shattered by the light emanating from the Fubuki Tachi. Seeing Mishima Hideyoshi's somewhat flustered expression, Uchiha Yue sighed deeply, then focused his Falling Moon Sword Intent, preparing to demonstrate his Falling Moon Style swordsmanship!

"Falling Moon Style: Clone Slash!"

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

In an instant, Uchiha Yue conjured three clones, launching an attack on Mishima Hideyoshi from three directions.

However, since Mishima Hideyoshi had made it to the finals of the Chunin Ninja Exams, he at least possessed some skill. Therefore, upon seeing Uchiha Yue's clones approaching, Mishima Hideyoshi once again used Earth Release ninjutsu, hiding himself in the ground. This caused all three of Uchiha Yue's clones to miss their target. However, even though Mishima Hideyoshi was hidden in the earth, he still couldn't escape Uchiha Yue's Purple Eye!

"Falling Moon Style: Single Blade Slash!"

"Whoosh..."

Sensing Mishima Hideyoshi's figure approaching his feet, Uchiha Yue leaped into the air and slashed down at the ground below with his sword. With this strike, Uchiha Yue carved a trench three meters deep into the ground. Immediately afterward, Mishima Hideyoshi could no longer hide his tracks in the ground and was completely exposed to Uchiha Tsuki's sight.

At the same time, Shikaku Nara, watching the battle between Uchiha Yue and Mishima Hideyoshi, also sighed deeply.

Immediately, Shikaku Nara shook his head helplessly, thinking, "The difference in strength between Yue and Mishima Hideyoshi is too great. If Yue hadn't been suppressing his strength, Mishima Hideyoshi would likely have lost in the first round. It seems I can only wait until Yue participates in the second round to make his match more exciting. For now, I should let Yue conserve some chakra and stamina to prepare for the second round against the Kirigakure ninja, Mei Terumi!"

Thinking this to himself, Shikaku Nara secretly made a hand gesture, which happened to fall within Uchiha Yue's perception range.

Immediately afterwards...

A slight smile appeared on Uchiha Yue's lips. He then sheathed his Fubuki Tachi, and began to condense Rasengan in his hand. A bright blue light shone from Uchiha Yue's right hand, causing the spectators in the stands to gasp in surprise. However, Uchiha Yue remained focused on condensing the Rasengan, and even the instant Rasengan was fully formed, he launched Rasengan into the air!

"Falling Moon Style: Rasengan Manipulation Technique!"

"Boom..."

The rapidly spinning Rasengan landed on the ground, instantly appearing next to Mishima Hideyoshi.

Thankfully, Uchiha Yue had no intention of killing Mishima Hideyoshi, otherwise Mishima Hideyoshi would have died several times at Uchiha Yue's hands. Moreover, Uchiha Yue deliberately missed the Rasengan, also to make his match more exciting. Afterwards, watching Mishima Hideyoshi awkwardly dodge the Rasengan, the smile on Uchiha Yue's lips deepened even more.

Then, under Mishima Hideyoshi's horrified gaze, Uchiha Yue Hand Seals and used another Falling Moon Style Ninjutsu!

"Falling Moon Style - Eerie Foxfire!"

"Call..."

"Call..."

Now, with his formidable strength, Uchiha Yue was able to directly conjure Eerie Foxfire, no longer needing to cast a Fire Release Ninjutsu first. Then, three flames appeared around Uchiha Yue, giving Mishima Hideyoshi no chance to attack. However, just when everyone thought Uchiha Yue was about to seize the opportunity to defeat Mishima Hideyoshi, unexpectedly, Uchiha Yue's hands began Hand Seals again!

"Buzz..."
