Shikaku's Support

"Oh no!"

The simultaneous eruption of spiritual energy and the Sharingan's power left Uchiha Yue completely unable to dodge the attacks from the Iwagakure. Seeing the Iwagakure ninjas' attacks about to land on him, Uchiha Yue forcibly controlled his body to form hand Hand Seals with one hand, and finally managed to dodge their attacks at the very moment they came at him.

"Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist!"

"Whoosh..."

With barely managing to dodge using the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist, Uchiha Yue felt his heart pounding. However, just when Uchiha Yue thought that the Anbu protecting him would come to his aid, a Jonin- level Iwagakure suddenly rushed in front of Uchiha Yue!

"Whoosh..."

In an instant, the Jonin from Iwagakure appeared before Uchiha Tsuki, and with a kunai in his hand, he left a wound on Uchiha Tsuki's chest. Fortunately, Uchiha Tsuki was using his Purple Eyes to observe his surroundings; otherwise, the Jonin's attack might have directly taken his life.

However, even at his peak, Uchiha Yue was struggling against a Jonin- level ninja. Currently, Uchiha Yue's mental energy was severely depleted, and his Sharingan's power was almost gone. Defending against an attack from a Jonin -level Iwagakure ninja was an incredibly difficult task!

Fortunately, the Iwagakure Jonin only left a wound on Uchiha Tsuki's chest, and ANBU members immediately came to his aid. However, Uchiha Tsuki's appearance was almost like a taunt from the crowd. Subsequently, the attacking Iwagakure ninjas completely ignored the ANBU's attack, focusing their attention solely on Uchiha Tsuki, seemingly intending to kill him on the spot.

Seeing that Uchiha Yue was in danger, Kushina Uzumaki gritted her teeth and, despite her severe injuries, joined the battle.

Unfortunately, the number of Iwagakure ninjas was too great, and after their Genjutsu Iwagakure broken, more than ten Iwagakure ninjas were freed. As for Uchiha Yue's side, including the Anbu sent by Tsunade, they only had about a dozen people. Therefore, the Iwagakure ninjas surrounded Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki Uchiha Yue almost no effort, clearly intending to Kushina Uzumaki their entire force.

"Yue, are you alright?"

Looking around, Kushina Uzumaki saw that she and her companions were surrounded by Iwagakure, her eyes filled with seriousness. However, seeing the blood flowing from Uchiha Yue's chest, Kushina Uzumaki frowned slightly and said, "Tsuki, thanks to you, we successfully broke the Genjutsu cast by those Iwagakure ninjas. But, are you alright? It wouldn't be worth it if you got seriously injured here just to break their Genjutsu Iwagakure!"

"Kushina, my injuries are fine, but the situation we're facing is rather unfavorable!"

Hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, Uchiha Yue quickly tended to his chest wound and said, "We're currently surrounded by Iwagakure ninjas. If reinforcements don't arrive, we're likely to be wiped out! Kushina, can you still use the Nine- Nine-Tailed Fox 'Chakra battle? If you can, let's prepare to break out!"

"Moon, I'm sorry, I can no longer use the Nine-Tailed Fox's Chakra!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but give a bitter smile, saying, "Just now, to distract those Iwagakure ninjas, I forced myself to use the Nine-Tailed Fox's Chakra in battle, and now I don't have the strength to unleash the Nine-Tailed Fox's Chakra anymore. Right now, we can only force our way out! No matter what, Yue, I will protect you and get you out of here!"

"If you're going to leave, let's leave together!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yue took a deep breath and immediately prepared to deal with the Iwagakure ninja in front of him.

Immediately afterwards...

Suddenly, several Iwagakure ninja attacked, putting Uchiha Yue Kushina Uzumaki Kushina Uzumaki high alert. However, just as the Iwagakure ninjas were about to attack, the two of them realized that the Iwagakure ninjas' primary target was not them, but rather the Anbu protecting them!

Clearly, the Iwagakure ninja's goal was to first eliminate the Anbu surrounding Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki, thus giving them a chance to capture the two alive. Uchiha Yue 'Uchiha Yue Sharingan the Nine-Tailed Fox Kushina Uzumaki Kushina Uzumaki were extremely valuable to the Iwagakure ninja. Therefore, given the opportunity, the Iwagakure ninja were prepared to capture Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki alive.

Now that the Iwagakure ninjas already had the upper hand, they were naturally confident in capturing Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki alive.

However, the Anbu members guarding Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki saw through the Iwagakure ninjas' intentions.

As Anbu, they were already prepared to die!

So, just as the Iwagakure ninja attacked, the ANBU guarding Uchiha Tsuki and Uzumaki Kushina fought desperately. However, the Iwagakure ninjas were too numerous, including about ten Jonin-level ninjas. Then, while the ANBU were attacking at their deaths, the Iwagakure Jonin all coordinated their attacks and, incredibly, wiped out the entire ANBU guarding Uchiha Tsuki in just five minutes!

Moreover, even Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki sustained injuries of varying degrees during their brief five-minute battle. Then, looking at the Iwagakure ninja, even Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying apologetically, "Yue, I'm sorry, I dragged you into this!"

"Kushina, this is so unlike you!"

Upon hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, Uchiha Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "They're just some characters from Iwagakure. Do you really think we can't handle them? Kushina, cheer up! Even if we die in Konoha, we won't be captured by those Iwagakure guys!"

"I understand, Yue!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, a fighting spirit ignited in Kushina Uzumaki's eyes again, and she prepared to fight to the death with Uchiha Yue here.

At the same time, Uchiha Yue was silently pondering a way to break through, but under the siege of those Iwagakure Uchiha Yue, he had absolutely no clue what to do. Especially as he watched those Iwagakure ninjas closing in step by step, a struggle appeared in Uchiha Yue's eyes.

But...

Just as the Iwagakure ninjas were about to capture Uchiha Yue Kushina Uzumaki Kushina Uzumaki, a figure suddenly appeared beside them!

And this person is Shikaku Nara, one of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio!
