Cultists

Using his Purple Eye to perceive the ninja from Yugakure in front of him, Uchiha Yue was naturally able to see the roster in the Yugakure's hand!

The roster records the names of countless ninjas in the Shinobi World, followed by the bounty amounts. (Comfortable reading {})

Moreover, Uchiha Yue clearly saw his own name, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki's name in that roster.

Among them, Minato Namikaze has the highest bounty, followed by Kushina Uzumaki, while the lowest bounty belongs to Uchiha Yue!

However, even though Uchiha Yue's bounty on that roster was the lowest, the bounty amount for the others was still a full 200,000 ryo. Keep in mind, 200,000 ryo is a considerable sum in the entire Shinobi World. After all, even completing a B-rank mission only earns Uchiha Yue tens of thousands of ryo. Yet, Uchiha Yue's bounty on the roster was nearly equivalent to the reward for completing ten B-rank missions—a price that would drive many ninjas in the Shinobi World mad.

Then, under the keen observation of Uchiha Yue's Purple Eye, he clearly sensed that the Yugakure Uchiha Yue ahead was the one who had infiltrated the Land of Fire for the bounty on the roster. The Yugakure's purpose was likely to kill the ninjas on the roster and then collect the bounty. The source of the roster in the Yugakure's possession, and the location for collecting the bounty, were probably another mysterious organization in the Shinobi World — the Underground Exchange recorded in the original story!

Recalling the original storyline in his mind, Uchiha Yue remembered that when the Akatsuki's immortal duo, Hidan and Kakuzu, first appeared, they went to the Underground Exchange to exchange for bounty money. In fact, when they encountered Sarutobi Asuma of Konoha, after Hidan killed Sarutobi Asuma, he used Sarutobi Asuma's head to exchange for a considerable bounty at the Underground Exchange.

However, Uchiha Yue had been in the Shinobi World for eight years without obtaining any information about the Underground Exchange.

This proves that the Underground Exchange is definitely a mysterious organization no less powerful than the Akatsuki, and joining it must require some special means.

Therefore, when Uchiha Yue at the Yugakure ninja in front of him, his eyes became fiery.

Undoubtedly, Uchiha Yue saw the Yugakure ninja in front of him as the key to joining the Underground Exchange.

If Uchiha Yue can kill the Yugakure in front of him, he can infiltrate the Yugakure's mental space and obtain information about the Underground Exchange. Then, Uchiha Yue will conceal his identity and join the Underground Exchange. Moreover, once Uchiha Yue truly joined the Underground Exchange, he will be able to share information about the mysterious organization Underground Exchange, hunt down some well-known ninjas in the Shinobi World, accumulate his own strength, and obtain the bounties for those ninjas.

Clearly, Uchiha Yue's primary reason for joining the Underground Exchange was to share intelligence there and hunt down renowned ninjas in the Shinobi World.

However, Uchiha Yue first needs to eliminate the Yugakure ninja in front of him before he can obtain information about the Underground Exchange.

Immediately, Uchiha Yue prepared to subdue the Yugakure in front of him.

Immediately afterwards...

Like a cheetah lurking in wait, Uchiha Yue silently hid behind the Yugakure ninja, searching for an opportunity to strike.

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off!

Just as Uchiha Yue was following that Yugakure ninja from the daytime until nightfall, Uchiha Yue finally found an opportunity to strike!

As night fell, the ninja from Yugakure prepared to rest in the forest for the night before venturing deeper into the Land of Fire.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Yugakure ninja was resting, Uchiha Yue launched a fierce attack on the Yugakure ninja in front of him!

"Falling Moon Style: Flash Step!"

In order to defeat his enemy in one move, Uchiha Yue used the secret technique of Basic Shatter Step, Flash Step, as soon as he appeared in front of the Yugakure ninja!

After recuperating for a full six months in Konoha, Uchiha Yue's leg injuries had fully healed. Moreover, during that period of rigorous training, he had discovered the optimal method for using the Flash Step Uchiha Yue, Flash Step the burden on his body. Furthermore, during his six months of intensive training, he consistently used the Nine-Tailed Fox's chakra to temper his body. As a result, Uchiha Yue no longer needed to consider the strain of Flash Step, and even repeated use of Flash Step would not cause serious injury to his legs.

The next second...

Using the Flash Step, Uchiha Yue arrived in front of the Yugakure ninja.

Then, Uchiha Yue, wielding the Fubuki Tachi, used the Falling Moon Style Swordsmanship to thrust it straight at the eyes of the Yugakure ninja!

"Falling Moon Style: Steel-Severing Flash!"

"Whoosh..."

A burst of light flashed, and before the blade of Uchiha Yue's Fubuki Tachi, Fubuki, could pierce the body of the Yugakure ninja before him, the Wind Style Chakra light gathered on the surface of the Fubuki Tachi had already injured the Yugakure ninja's eyes. Immediately, it could be seen that the Yugakure's eyes had been injured by the Wind Style Chakra controlled by Uchiha Yue, and he had lost his sight.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Yugakure ninja lost his sight, Uchiha Yue directly stabbed the Yugakure ninja in the brain with his katana Fubuki Tachi!

Then, Uchiha Yue felt that the Yugakure ninja in front of him was definitely dead.

Therefore, Uchiha Yue planned to use his mental energy to invade the mental space of the Yugakure ninja before he died, and read his memories. But unexpectedly, just when Uchiha Yue thought the Yugakure ninja was truly dead, the Yugakure ninja ignored the Fubuki Tachi that Yugakure Uchiha Yue had pierced into his mind, sighed deeply, and said, "Lord Jashin warned me long ago that there was a rat around, but I thought it was an illusion. Now it seems that Lord Jashin's warning was absolutely correct! Rat, you finally couldn't hold back and are preparing to attack me?"

Suddenly, the ninja from Yugakure grabbed the blade of the Fubuki Tachi, completely disregarding the fact that his hand was injured by the Fubuki Tachi edge.

Moreover, as he gripped the blade of the Fubuki Tachi, the Yugakure ninja curled his lip in a mocking manner and continued, "Too bad, rat, I, Feilian, am not so easily killed!"

"I, Feilian, am protected by the Lord Jashin!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Yugakure ninja named Feilian grabbed the blade of the Fubuki Tachi and flung Uchiha Yue away.

However, Uchiha Yue, who was flying backwards in mid-air, was not surprised by the counterattack from the Yugakure ninja named Feilian.

At this moment, the only thing that Uchiha Yue cared about was who the Lord Jashin that the Yugakure ninja named Feilian was talking about really was!

"Could it be that the guy in front of me is a cultist like Hidan?"
