Recognition

The Shadow's decision to dispel the Nara Clan's secret technique at the crucial moment was tantamount to pushing Uchiha Yue into a fire pit!

Previously, Uchiha Yue, wielding the Fubuki Tachi, was confident in using the Falling Moon Style Swordsmanship to claim the lives of the Sunagakure ninja before him, mainly because the Shadow had used a Sunagakure Nara Clan secret technique to restrict their movements. Now, just as Uchiha Yue arrived in front of the Sunagakure ninja, the Shadow dispelled the Nara Clan's secret technique, allowing the Sunagakure ninja to regain their mobility and immediately plunging Uchiha Yue into danger.

You should know that the Sunagakure team facing Uchiha Yue was an elite team from Sunagakure!

This elite Sunagakure squad is led by a Jonin- level Sunagakure ninja, and the rest of the members are elite Chunin from Sunagakure!

Therefore, without the help of his Shadow clones, Uchiha Yue wouldn't be able to launch a direct attack.

After all, that one Jonin -level Sunagakure ninja alone was enough to intimidate the current Uchiha Yue!

Immediately afterwards...

Seeing the Sunagakure ninjas before him, no longer bound by the Kage Level Nara Clan's secret technique, Uchiha Yue almost without hesitation used the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist to dodge. Fortunately, Uchiha Yue's reaction was fast enough; he used the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist to dodge the moment the Shadow was released from the Nara Clan's secret technique. Immediately, Uchiha Yue saw the figure of the Jonin -level Sunagakure ninja appear where his afterimage had left behind.

Clearly, the Sunagakure Jonin, having broken free from the Nara Clan's secret technique, was about to kill the charging Uchiha Yue!

"Shadow, what are your true intentions?"

Having narrowly escaped death, Uchiha Yue bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes filled with rage.

Undoubtedly, before engaging the Sunagakure ninjas before him, Uchiha Yue never expected that the Shadow would betray him so easily during their first collaboration. Moreover, if Uchiha Yue hadn't reacted quickly enough, he might very well have died a gruesome death at the hands of those Sunagakure ninjas. Therefore, Uchiha Yue was so furious at this moment; after all, the Shadow's joke had gone too far, practically playing with Uchiha Yue's life!

However, Uchiha Yue had no time to blame the Shadow right now, because all the eyes of the Sunagakure ninjas were focused on Uchiha Yue.

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Yue finally calmed his agitated emotions and then prepared to focus on fighting the Sunagakure ninja.

Without the Shadow's help, Uchiha Tsuki's attempt to annihilate the entire Sand Village team before him was nothing but a pipe dream. The mere presence of that Sand Village Jonin was beyond Uchiha Tsuki's capabilities. However, since the Shadow had toyed with Uchiha Tsuki in such a way, Uchiha Tsuki needed to retaliate. And the method Uchiha Tsuki had devised was to kill as many Sand Village ninja as possible without the Shadow's assistance!

"Whoosh..."

The moment his feet touched the ground, Uchiha Yue formed a hand Hand Seals and used the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist once again.

Uchiha Tsuki's afterimage lingered in place, attracting the attention of the Sand Village Jonin, who was clearly determined to kill Uchiha Tsuki.

However, when Uchiha Tsuki used the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist, the Sand Village Jonin fell for it again. Then, taking advantage of the moment the Sand Village ninja attacked his afterimage, Uchiha Tsuki used basic footwork to appear before a Sand Village Chunin. Using his Purple Eyes to perceive the Chunin before him, Uchiha Tsuki discovered that the Chunin was actually the puppeteer he had so effectively countered. A chilling glint flashed in Uchiha Tsuki's eyes, and he closed in on the Sand Village puppeteer!

"Falling Moon Blade Aura!"

"Buzz..."

Approaching the Sunagakure Puppet Master before him, Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to perceive the Chakra Threads Puppet Master the puppets. Therefore, after discerning these Chakra Threads, Uchiha Yue used his Falling Moon Blade Aura to sever Chakra Threads. Without the ability to control the Puppet Master, the Sunagakure Puppet Master was like a lamb to the slaughter before Sunagakure Uchiha Yue, completely at his mercy.

But...

Just as Uchiha Yue raised his Fubuki Tachi, about to slay the Sunagakure Puppet Master before him...

Who would have thought that the Sand Village Jonin who had previously tried to kill Uchiha Tsuki would actually appear in front of Uchiha Tsuki!

"Bang..."

With just an ordinary kunai, the Sand Village Jonin blocked Uchiha Tsuki's katana, Fubuki, and even saved his comrade's life. However, when Uchiha Tsuki saw the Sand Village Jonin appear before him, a faint smile appeared on his lips. Then, a blur flashed past Uchiha Tsuki's side. Moreover, the direction that blur struck was precisely where the Sand Village puppeteer was!

"Falling Moon Style: Clone Slash!"

"Whoosh..."

A blur flashed by, and soon a crimson stain appeared on the throat of the Sunagakure Puppet Master.

As life faded away, Uchiha Tsukuyomi actually killed a Sand Village puppeteer who was his comrade, right in front of a Sand Village Jonin!

Even the Sand Village puppeteer who crashed heavily to the ground showed shock in the eyes of the Sand Village Jonin standing in front of Uchiha Tsuki!

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Upon discovering his comrade had been killed, the Sand Village Jonin's pupils instantly turned blood red, and he immediately raised his kunai to stab Uchiha Tsuki. However, Uchiha Tsuki gave the Sand Village Jonin no chance to retaliate. He quickly used basic footwork to create distance between himself and the Sand Village Jonin. Furthermore, after creating distance from the Sand Village Jonin, Uchiha Tsuki's figure appeared in front of another Sand Village Chunin!

"Falling Moon Style: Single Blade Slash!"

"Whoosh..."

Blade light flashed everywhere. With Uchiha Yue gathering Wind Style Chakra, the Sunagakure Chunin before him was completely unable to retaliate and was slain on the spot. Moreover, after Uchiha Yue another Sunagakure ninja, the smile on his lips suddenly deepened. Clearly, Uchiha Yue's smile was mocking the Shadow, because Uchiha Yue used his unique method of counterattack to make the Shadow's previous actions a joke!

At this moment, Uchiha Yue is going to show the Shadow with his actions that even without you, Shadow, I Uchiha Yue, can still deal with this Sunagakure team!

Uchiha Yue's use of facts clearly earned the Shadow's approval at this moment.

Because, not long after Uchiha Yue killed two Sunagakure, the Shadow figure reappeared in front of Uchiha Yue!

"Asura, well done!"
