Naval Battle

"Whoosh..."

Using his Purple Eye to survey the situation ahead, Uchiha Yue, wielding his Fubuki Tachi, no longer intended to remain hidden and observe. This was because if Uchiha Yue waited any longer, Hyuga Anya might very well perish along with the other Hyuga Clan ninjas in the encirclement of the Piranha. Therefore, Uchiha Yue was now prepared to rescue Hyuga Anya. After all, in Uchiha Yue's eyes, Hyuga Anya was still his friend, even if their relationship had become strained due to their clan ties.

With Basic Shatter Step steps and the boost from Wind Style Chakra, Uchiha Yue moved at an extremely fast speed.

In just a few seconds, Uchiha Yue arrived at the riverbank where Hyuga Anya and the others were. Looking at the countless Piranha before him, a look of grave seriousness filled his eyes. Narrowing his eyes slightly, when he saw Hyuga Anya Uchiha Yue Uchiha Yue others were about to collapse, he didn't hesitate for a moment. He aimed his katana, Fubuki, at the Fubuki Tachi of Piranha and slashed down!

"Falling Moon Style: Clone Slash!"

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

In an instant, Uchiha Yue conjured two clones, which attacked the group of Piranha in front of him along with his main body. Piranha were not very strong defensively to begin with, so when Uchiha Yue attacked the group of Piranha with his two clones, he quickly fought his way out of the Piranha 'Uchiha Yue encirclement.

However, what makes Piranha terrifying is their sheer number.

Then, just as Uchiha Yue was getting closer to Hyuga Anya and the others, he suddenly realized using his Purple Eye that he had fallen into the encirclement of a group of Piranha. Moreover, the water was the Piranha's home turf; they could attack their prey from any direction. Therefore, Uchiha Yue not only had to be careful of the Piranha around him, but he also had to be careful where he stepped, as one of the Piranha might attack from a tricky direction.

Meanwhile, Hyuga Anya and the others, who were surrounded by Piranha, also noticed Uchiha Yue's presence.

However, Hyuga Anya and the other Hyuga Clan ninjas realized that it was Uchiha Yue who had come to their rescue, their thoughts were quite complicated. In Hyuga Anya's view, Uchiha Yue's willingness to the Hyuga Clan to her aid meant that he still considered her a friend. Otherwise, Uchiha Yue would have no reason to risk his life to rescue her. Hyuga Anya simply felt happy to see Uchiha Yue come to her rescue, but at the same Uchiha Yue, she was worried about him.

As for the Hyuga Clan ninjas rescued by Uchiha Yue, their thoughts were inevitably more complex. After all, the conflict between the Uchiha Yue clan and the Hyuga Clan ran deep, and now these Hyuga Clan ninjas actually needed Uchiha Yue's help, making them feel utterly humiliated. In particular, when the Hyuga Clan ninjas saw that the Piranha couldn't even get within three meters of Uchiha Yue, they secretly resented the Piranha Hyuga Clan being so incompetent, wondering why they didn't just kill Uchiha Yue right there.

However, regardless of what Hyuga Anya or the other Hyuga Clan ninjas thought, Uchiha Yue came to rescue them.

Moreover, since Uchiha Yue mastered the "Way of Killing," his offensive capabilities have become incredibly formidable. Now, any Piranha that get close to him are instantly killed by his katana, Uchiha Yue. However, whether the Piranha can retaliate depends on Uchiha Yue permission. After all, Uchiha Yue 'Uchiha Yue Fubuki Tachi Basic Shatter Step can be performed even on water.

"Basic Shatter Step, truly worthy of being a secret technique of the Yagami Clan!"

Using Basic Shatter Step to dodge the attacks of the Piranha, Uchiha Yue suddenly discovered that Basic Shatter Step had a special effect in group battles. For example, right now, Uchiha Yue was facing countless Piranha, but when he used Basic Shatter Step, he was able to dodge all of Piranha attacks. In other words, in the future, if Uchiha Yue faced group battles, he could easily handle them simply by using Basic Shatter Step.

However, as more and more Piranha gathered around Uchiha Yue, it became increasingly difficult for him to dodge using Basic Shatter Step. But this presented him with a perfect opportunity to practice his Basic Shatter Step. Immediately, Uchiha Yue practicing his Basic Shatter Step even amidst the swarm of Piranha. However, he didn't forget his initial intention to rescue Uchiha Yue Hyuga Anya the others, and while dodging the Piranha' attacks, he slowly approached Hyuga Anya.

"Whoosh..."

Finally, Uchiha Yue fought his way through the Piranha and arrived in front of Hyuga Anya and the others.

However, aside from Hyuga Anya Uchiha Yue with gratitude, the other Hyuga Clan ninjas harbored deep hatred for him, even wishing they could fight him right there. Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue ignored the lackeys, and his gaze fell upon Uchiha Yue Hyuga Anya before him. He said in a detached tone, "I just happened to be passing by, so you don't need to thank me. For a ninja, not dying on the battlefield is a disgrace. Now, I'm saving you not because of our past friendship, but because I don't want you to die such a humiliating death, understand?"

"Thank you so much, Yue."

Hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Hyuga Anya's expression was quite complicated, but she still forced a smile and smiled at Uchiha Yue in front of her. However, the moment Hyuga Anya finished speaking, a Piranha pounced on Hyuga Anya and bit Hyuga Anya ankle.

Those sharp fangs sliced through the flesh of Hyuga Anya's ankle almost instantly.

Thanks to Uchiha Yue's high alertness, the Piranha failed to break Hyuga Anya's ankle, only causing her minor injuries. Even so, Hyuga Anya's mobility was undoubtedly greatly reduced. Therefore, when Uchiha Yue noticed Hyuga Anya's injury, he sighed helplessly and said, "Anya, let me carry you to safety."

"Ah?"

When Uchiha Yue arrived, Hyuga Anya was taken aback for a moment, then a blush appeared on her cheeks.

Then, due to the urgency of the situation, Uchiha Yue didn't give Hyuga Anya any time to reply. He simply picked up Hyuga Anya and prepared to break through the encirclement of the Piranha. However, Uchiha Yue never expected that just as he was about to break through with Hyuga Anya on his back, a Kunai suddenly pierced through the air.

Moreover, the Kunai was aimed directly at Uchiha Yue's chest!

"Whoosh..."
