"..."

As he silently recited the match numbers for the second round, a slight smile appeared on Uchiha Yue's lips, and his gaze immediately fell upon Mei Terumi. At the same time, Mei Terumi was also staring at Uchiha Yue Mei Terumi, but this time there was no smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with solemnity.

Clearly, Uchiha Yue and Mei Terumi had completely different mindsets, and before they even exchanged blows, Mei Terumi was already at a disadvantage.

Mei Terumi had sensed Uchiha Yue's unfathomable strength back in the Doomsday Forest. Now, facing him in the second round, she had absolutely no confidence. Mei Terumi all, she had been defeated by Mo Chenfeng, yet Uchiha Yue killed Mo Chenfeng. As for Uchiha Yue, he was completely confident he could defeat Mei Terumi. Or perhaps Uchiha Yue was fearless in the face of any enemy, even the strongest Shinobi World, and he was determined to fight back.

The term "capacity" refers to a person's ambition.

Uchiha Yue's ambition was to become a powerful figure who would dominate the Shinobi World, possessing strength comparable to the Third Hokage, standing at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World. Therefore, in terms of sheer power, Uchiha Yue far surpassed Mei Terumi, causing Mei Terumi to fall into a disadvantageous position even before stepping onto the arena. Moreover, because Mei Terumi's mentality was slightly problematic, Uchiha Yue, meeting Mei Terumi's eyes, grew an even deeper smile.

"Moon, it seems Mei Terumi is a little guilty!"

At this moment, even Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki sensed the change in Mei Terumi's mindset, and they immediately felt that Uchiha Yue's chances of winning were greater. However, Uchiha Yue never thought that he could be defeated by Mei Terumi Chakra Mei Terumi would need to expend to defeat her.

Then, under Shikaku Nara's direction, Uchiha Yue and Mei Terumi arrived at the Chunin Ninja Exams finals arena. As soon as Uchiha Yue appeared, the spectators in the stands cheered, clearly having been eagerly anticipating his battle. However, the cheers only further affected Uchiha Yue Mei Terumi's composure, making Mei Terumi expression even more unpleasant.

Seeing the change in Mei Terumi's expression, and in order to secure an easy victory, Uchiha Yue put pressure on her before the match even began, saying, "Mei Terumi, are you scared!"

"I'm not afraid!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Mei Terumi's eyes twitched violently a few times, and she said, "Uchiha Yue, I will kill you!"

"Sigh, it's no use being stubborn!"

Mei Terumi finished speaking, Uchiha Yue sighed helplessly, as if stating a fact, and slowly said, "Mei Terumi, your defeat at Mo Chenfeng's hands wasn't an accident, was it? In just one month, even if you could increase your strength, do you have the confidence to defeat Mo Chenfeng? Moreover, I have now completely mastered Mo Chenfeng's fighting style. If I use Mo Chenfeng's fighting style to counter you, do you still have the confidence to kill me?"

"I.."

When Uchiha Yue arrived, Mei Terumi bit her lower lip and remained silent.

Immediately afterwards...

Shikaku Nara announced the start of the match, and the instant he finished speaking, Uchiha Yue, Fubuki Tachi Shikaku Nara, launched his attack!

"Whoosh..."

In an instant, Mei Terumi could clearly see that Uchiha Yue was slightly tiptoeing as he moved forward—it was the Yagami Clan's secret technique, Basic Shatter Step. For a whole month, Uchiha Yue had failed to decipher the Yagami Clan's secret technique recorded in Mo Chenfeng's possession, but after practicing Basic Shatter Step, he had still managed to grasp some of its Basic Shatter Step. Moreover, Uchiha Yue could use Wind Style Chakra to greatly enhance his Uchiha Yue, so the moment he used Basic Shatter Step, he arrived in front of Mei Terumi.

However, to Uchiha Yue's utter surprise, while Mei Terumi had initially appeared somewhat panicked, her eyes remained completely expressionless when Uchiha Yue stood before her. Clearly, Mei Terumi earlier show of panic was entirely feigned, Mei Terumi to deceive Uchiha Yue. Feigning weakness in front of Uchiha Yue was a tactic Mei Terumi had devised, not a genuine fear of Uchiha Yue.

Unfortunately, the moment Uchiha Yue saw the calmness in Mei Terumi's eyes, he guessed Mei Terumi intentions.

After all, Mei Terumi is the future Fifth Mizukage; how could Uchiha Yue lower his guard just because the other party is a little flustered?

"Bang..."

Reaching Mei Terumi, Uchiha Yue's katana, Fubuki Tachi, slashed down at her in an instant. However, just as Mei Terumi landed, Tsuki suddenly sensed Chakra fluctuation before him. It turned out that Mei Terumi Uchiha Yue used the Water Substitution Technique Fubuki Tachi as Uchiha Yue's attack was about to hit her!

"Puff..."

A puddle of water landed in front of Uchiha Yue immediately used his Purple Eye to pinpoint Mei Terumi's location. He then used his Purple Eye to lock onto Mei Terumi Uchiha Yue, who was nearby, and discovered something quite interesting. Mei Terumi, also near Uchiha Yue, was moving on tiptoe. Mei Terumi posture, it seemed she was trying to imitate the Yagami Clan's secret technique, Basic Shatter Step, to counter Uchiha Yue, who was also using Basic Shatter Step.

But, without the Sharingan, could Mei Terumi replicate the secret techniques of the Yagami Clan?

The answer is, of course, no!

The next second, just as Mei Terumi was about to attack Uchiha Yue deftly tiptoed and dodged her attack with a swift movement. Moreover, because of his incredible speed, Uchiha Yue closed in on Mei Terumi. This time, Uchiha Yue had no intention of letting Mei Terumi go; he immediately gathered his Falling Moon Sword Intent and unleashed the Falling Moon Style Swordsmanship!

"Falling Moon Style: Clone Slash!"

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

With three clones appearing, Uchiha Yue had a real chance to instantly kill Mei Terumi in front of him at such close range.

Only by instantly killing Mei Terumi can Uchiha Yue consume less Chakra and conserve more energy to deal with Sasori of the Red Sands behind him.

However, just as Uchiha Yue's three clones attacked, Mei Terumi showed no intention of dodging whatsoever.

Immediately, seeing Uchiha Yue's clone arrive before her, Mei Terumi calmly formed hand Hand Seals and said indifferently:

"Uchiha Yue, look at me!"
