"Someone, quickly help Mishima Hideyoshi treat his injuries!"

After Shikaku Nara announced the result of the match, he quickly summoned the medical ninjas he had prepared in advance, intending to have them treat Mishima Hideyoshi's injuries. However, Shikaku Nara knew very well how ruthless Uchiha Yue was. Even if those medical Tsunade prepared at the arena were to treat Mishima Hideyoshi Sannin, Tsunade, were to treat him, Mishima Hideyoshi would not be able to save his life.

However, this was, after all, the final arena of the Chunin Ninja Exams, and Shikaku Nara still needed to put on a show for the audience. Afterwards, watching the medical ninjas take Mishima Hideyoshi to treat his injuries, Shikaku Nara approached Uchiha Yue and smiled, saying, "Tsuki, you've worked hard. I'm so sorry, if I hadn't reminded you to put on a show, you wouldn't have needed to waste so much energy and chakra. Now, go back and rest well, and prepare for the second round!"

"Thank you, Mr. Shikaku."

Upon hearing Shikaku Nara's words, Uchiha Yue smiled and nodded, then left the arena directly.

However, even after Uchiha Yue's match had ended, the spectators in the stands were still discussing his performance. Clearly, Uchiha Yue had won over the audience with his strength. Even those spectators who looked down on Konoha ninjas acknowledged Uchiha Yue 'Uchiha Yue impressive abilities. The Falling Uchiha Yue Falling Moon Style Secret Technique he had used, in particular, had astonished them.

However, listening to the audience discussing him, Uchiha Yue remained remarkably calm, as he knew perfectly well that he had merely been performing. Had Shikaku Nara not reminded him, Uchiha Yue wouldn't have been able to perform for so long, nor would he have garnered such widespread approval. Therefore, even during his Uchiha Yue in the arena, he anticipated the audience's high praise, and now he could calmly accept their compliments.

Immediately afterwards...

Uchiha Yue returned to the rest area for the contestants and saw Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Danzō standing before him. Undoubtedly, Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Danzō had come to congratulate Uchiha Yue on his victory. However, after Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Danzō a few words of congratulations, Hatake Kakashi frowned slightly and asked, "Yue, does my match against Danzo have to be a performance like yours?"

"Well, if the opponent is relatively weak, it's a good thing to put on a show."

When Hatake Kakashi arrived, Uchiha Yue smiled slightly and said, "Just like me, if I hadn't performed, the audience who came to watch the match wouldn't have recognized my strength. So, I not only won the first round, but I also won the hearts of those viewers. But..."

Then, Uchiha Yue's gaze shifted to Sarutobi Danzō, and she said, "However, Danzo, I don't think you have the ability to perform. When you step onto the field to prepare for battle, you must launch an attack immediately and prepare a variety of impressive attack methods. Only in this way can you gain the approval of the audience and earn a spot to be promoted to Chunin!"

"Thank you so much, Moon Lord!"

At this moment, Sarutobi Danzō clearly understood that Uchiha Yue was giving him a hint, and he nodded emphatically to Uchiha Yue in front of him. Afterwards, Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Danzō wanted to continue watching the match, leaving Uchiha Yue alone to rest in the rest area. However, just as Uchiha Yue had used the Uchiha Yue Uzumaki Clan's secret technique to recover his mental energy and chakra, unexpectedly, Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze appeared in front of him.

"Moon Lord, congratulations on passing the first round of the competition!"

Looking at Uchiha Yue, who had just finished resting, Minato Namikaze smiled slightly and said, "Kushina and I just realized that you're going to put on a good show in the Chunin Ninja Exams finals. However, your opponents are going to be very strong! Mei Terumi from Kirigakure and Sasori of the Red Sands from Sunagakure are both formidable opponents in this year 'Chunin Ninja Exams. So, Tsuki-kun, you need to focus on the matches from now on and avoid using those flashy ninjutsu, understand?"

"Haha, Minato- kun, I knew you and Kushina would figure it out!"

Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's words, Uchiha Yue laughed a few times and said, "That's right, my use of Enchanting Light just now was indeed somewhat impressive. However, once I truly master Enchanting Light, it won't just be a performance ninjutsu; it will be a ninjutsu that can help me defeat Jonin-level ninjas!"

Then, Uchiha Yue looked at Kushina Uzumaki beside him and asked, "Kushina, did you figure out the principle behind that ninjutsu?"

"Yes, I can see that!"

Upon hearing this, Kushina Uzumaki nodded heavily, her eyes filled with seriousness. "Moon, you actually used the principles of ninjutsu to create a genjutsu with shape-changing properties. I'm truly astonished. If I'm not mistaken, you must have concentrated your spiritual energy into that ninjutsu, right? Using your own spiritual energy to suppress the enemy's spiritual energy, creating the effect of controlling the enemy's body. Moon, how exactly did you come up with the idea to create such a ninjutsu?"

"Maybe it's because I want to improve my skills as quickly as possible!"

As soon as Kushina Uzumaki finished speaking, Uchiha Yue took a deep breath and said, "Back in the Doomsday Forest, I dealt with a ninja with Jonin-level strength. Since then, I've been thinking about how to defeat a Jonin-level ninja, so I came up with the idea of using spiritual energy to create ninjutsu. Combining this with the principles of genjutsu, I created genjutsu with shape-changing abilities—but that's just the first step. Next, I'll shift my focus to genjutsu training. Kushina, you'll have to guide me a lot then!"

"No problem!"

Seeing Uchiha Yue's confident expression, Kushina Uzumaki patted her chest and replied without hesitation.

However, just as Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki arrived, Minato Namikaze frowned slightly and slowly said, "Tsukuyomi, I hope you don't train on too many things. After all, you already possess a great deal. I can sense that you'll soon be able to raise your strength to the level of an elite Chunin. However, if you continue to pursue a well-rounded approach, you're likely to encounter a bottleneck when breaking through to elite Chunin. Therefore, to avoid that bottleneck, I hope you can concentrate more when training. After all, it's very difficult to raise your strength to the level of a Jonin if you're distracted!"
