First Cooperation

"Shadow?"

As soon as the Shadow Anbu finished speaking, Uchiha Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and used his Purple Eye to investigate Shadow's situation.

However, to Uchiha Yue's slight surprise, when he used Uchiha Yue Purple Eye to observe the Shadow, he discovered that the Shadow was covered in a layer of Chakra. Moreover, that layer of Chakra actually helped it resist the Purple Eye's observation. Uchiha Yue then prepared to increase his mental energy output to break through the Chakra layer covering the Shadow. Clearly, Uchiha Yue was concerned that the Shadow had managed to sneak into the cave undetected.

However, just as Uchiha Yue was increasing the output of his spiritual energy, Orochimaru suddenly frowned slightly.

Then, Orochimaru stepped in front of Uchiha Yue, licked his lips, and said, "Yue, stop!"

"Yes!"

Now that Orochimaru has spoken, Uchiha Yue can no longer use his Purple Eye to obtain information about the Shadow.

However, it was precisely because Orochimaru intervened that Uchiha Yue became even more curious about the Shadow's identity. But with Orochimaru present, Uchiha Yue n't act rashly; that would be disrespectful to Orochimaru. After Shadow replied, Uchiha Yue nodded and turned to the Shadow behind him, saying, "Orochimaru, Tsuki's codename is Asura. From now Shadow, you two will be working together. There might have been some misunderstanding just now; don't worry about it, and don't make things too difficult for Tsuki, understand?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

Just as Orochimaru arrived, the Shadow knelt before Orochimaru and replied.

After receiving a reply from the Shadow, Orochimaru smiled slightly and said, "Alright, Yue, you and the Shadow can set off now. This mission you're going to carry out will be quite difficult. Just follow the Shadow's instructions on the way." Orochimaru then looked at the Shadow and continued, "Shadow, remember to protect Yue. If absolutely necessary, you can abandon the mission, understand?"

"Knew!"

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Uchiha Yue and Shadow nodded in response, and then the two prepared to set off to carry out their mission.

However, before setting off on the mission, Uchiha Yue couldn't help but wonder what Orochimaru had assigned him. He knew Orochimaru's personality well; he wasn't the type to give up easily. The fact that Uchiha Yue had instructed his Shadow Anbu, Orochimaru Uchiha Yue, to abandon the mission if absolutely necessary showed Tsuki the difficulty of the task. So, just as Uchiha Yue and Shadow were about to depart, Uchiha Yue frowned and asked, "Excuse me, what exactly is the mission Lord Orochimaru has given us?"

"Asura, you ask too many questions."

As soon as Uchiha Yue arrived, the Shadow turned to look at him, still speaking in a cold tone, "Lord Orochimaru Uchiha Yue that you must obey my orders. Therefore, during the mission, just follow my commands; you don't need to concern yourself with anything else. Also, if the mission fails because you disobey my orders, you should know what the consequences will be!"

"Ah, I understand."

Sensing the unfriendly tone of the Shadow, Uchiha Yue snorted coldly and fell silent.

Then, after Uchiha Yue and Shadow finished packing their belongings, the two disappeared into Orochimaru's group.

However, while accompanying the Shadow on a mission, Uchiha Yue curious about the Shadow's identity and prepared to use Shadow Purple Eye to investigate. Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue and the Shadow were a little unlucky. Just as they Shadow off on their mission, they encountered a ninja Shadow within the Land of Land of Wind Uchiha Yue. That Uchiha Yue team was, of course, the Sunagakure team from the Land of Land of Wind.

Using his Purple Eye to perceive the presence of that Sunagakure team, Uchiha Yue's pupils were filled with a solemn expression.

However, just as Uchiha Yue was about to offer a warning, the Shadow spoke up first, "Asura, prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

Clearly, the Shadow beside Uchiha Yue also sensed the presence of that ninja team.

This made Uchiha Yue even more curious about what kind of ninja the Shadow was, since not all ninjas possessed such powerful sensory abilities.

Immediately afterwards...

Uchiha Yue and his Shadow approached the Sunagakure, preparing to ambush them.

Then, sensing that the Sunagakure team was getting closer and closer, the fighting spirit in Uchiha Yue's eyes grew stronger.

However, before Uchiha Yue could make a move against the Sunagakure, Shadow's figure had already appeared in front of them!

"Nara Style: Shadow Possession Jutsu!"

The moment the Shadow appeared in front of the Sunagakure team, it unleashed a Ninjutsu, a secret technique of the Nara Clan!

Seeing the Shadow use a secret technique of the Nara Clan, how could Uchiha Yue not know that the Shadow was a member of the Nara Clan Konoha!

The next second, within the range of Uchiha Yue's Purple Eye, it was clear that the Shadow was using Nara Clan secret technique to directly bind the four Sunagakure ninjas in front of him. The entire Sunagakure team was instantly trapped under the Shadow's control, much to Uchiha Yue's surprise at the Shadow's mastery of the Nara Clan's secret techniques. After all, not all Nara Clan ninjas were as powerful as Shikaku Nara. However, the fact that the Shadow could control the Sunagakure ninjas in front of him using the Nara Clan's secret technique in just a few seconds proved that the Shadow's mastery of the Nara Clan's secret techniques was in no way inferior to Shikaku Nara's!

"It seems Orochimaru had his reasons for sending his Shadow along on this mission!"

"Only when I'm with the Nara Clan ninjas can I unleash my full power!"

"Now, let me see how much progress I can make working with my Shadow for the first time!"

Thinking this to himself, a glint of light flashed in Uchiha Yue's eyes, and he immediately appeared in front of the Sunagakure ninjas.

At this moment, all the Sunagakure ninjas were bound by Shadow and naturally had no ability to resist Uchiha Yue's attack.

Therefore, Uchiha Yue, wielding his Fubuki Tachi, stared intently at the defenseless Sunagakure before him and unleashed the Falling Moon Style Swordsmanship without hesitation. However, just as Uchiha Yue was about to use the Uchiha Yue -Falling Moon Style Swordsmanship to reap the lives of those Sunagakure ninja, he suddenly discovered that the Shadow were no longer maintaining the Nara Clan's secret technique, freeing the Uchiha Yue Sunagakure before him from their restraints!

"Shadow!"

"What are you thinking?!"
