First Battle, Third Hoshikage
In the Shinobi World, becoming a "Kage" of a ninja village might be difficult, but becoming the leader of a ninja village isn't actually that hard. (Please add |)
Like the Hoshigakure, a ninja village where strength reigns supreme, the leader of the Hoshigakure only needs to be the strongest ninja. Therefore, when the so-called Hoshikage of the Hoshigakure before Uchiha Yue, all the Hoshigakure ninjas felt that Uchiha Yue was already dead. After all, the strongest being in the Hoshigakure at that moment was the "Hoshikage" who had appeared before Uchiha Yue!
At the same time, when Uchiha Yue learned of "Hoshikage's" identity, Uchiha Yue expression also became increasingly serious.
In particular, when Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to perceive his surroundings, he discovered that all the Hoshigakure ninjas had actually surrounded him, making way for him and the Hoshigakure's "Hoshikage." From this, Uchiha Yue understood the Hoshigakure ninjas' confidence in their village's so-called "Hoshikage." However, even though Uchiha Yue's chakra and spiritual energy were currently somewhat insufficient, he still wouldn't back down in front of that laughable "Hoshikage Uchiha Yue."
However, what surprised Uchiha Yue somewhat was...
Just as Uchiha Yue was preparing to fight the "Hoshikage" before him, the Hoshikage Uchiha Yue his eyebrows slightly and said, "Strong stranger, why have you come to our Hoshigakure to cause trouble and steal our village's sacred artifact? Our village's sacred artifact is extremely important to the development of our village. Strong stranger, if you are willing to hand over our village's sacred artifact, I, as the Hoshikage, am willing to spare your life."
"Furthermore, if you don't believe what I'm saying, I'm willing to swear on my title as the Third Hoshikage. What do you say?"
"Third Hoshikage?"
Upon hearing the Third Hoshikage's words, Uchiha Yue sneered, his eyes filled with mockery. "Ha, a mere village leader dares to call himself the Third Hoshikage? What audacity! Third Hoshikage, your goal must be to make Hoshigakure village like Konoha or Sunagakure, right? It's just a pity that you'll have to expend some effort to achieve your wish. After all, your village can't even properly safeguard its own sacred artifacts, so how can you talk about becoming a village like Konoha or Sunagakure?"
With that, Uchiha Yue's smile vanished, replaced by a cold gaze fixed on the Third Hoshikage before him. He continued, "Enough with the nonsense, laughable Third Hoshikage. Since you've appeared before me, you must be confident you can take what you call your Hoshigakure's sacred relic, right? Now, I'll give you a chance to challenge me. If you can defeat me, I'll offer your village's sacred relic with both hands! What do you say?"
"Good!"
No sooner had Uchiha Yue finished speaking than the Third Hoshikage replied with great bravado and immediately prepared to fight Uchiha Yue.
However, just as the Third Hoshikage replied to Uchiha Yue, using his Sharingan in its Three-Tomoe form, suddenly noticed that the Third Hoshikage and the surrounding Hoshigakure ninjas secretly exchanged a hand gesture. Clearly, the Third Hoshikage had no intention of fighting Uchiha Yue alone; he simply intended to stall for time before gathering the strength of all the Hoshigakure to deal with Uchiha Yue.
After seeing the Third Hoshikage's secret hand gesture, Uchiha Yue realized the Third Hoshikage's despicable intentions.
Immediately afterwards...
Before the Third Hoshikage could even prepare for battle, Uchiha Yue used Basic Shatter Step to advance in front of Third Hoshikage!
"Whoosh..."
Accompanied by Wind Style Chakra, Uchiha Yue's movement speed using Basic Shatter Step was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the Third Hoshikage, wielding the Fubuki Tachi in its Edge of Exile form, and without hesitation, slashed down at the Third Hoshikage. However, just when Uchiha Yue his attack would succeed, a layer of pale Uchiha Yue unexpectedly blocked his blade!
It turned out that the moment Uchiha Yue approached the Third Hoshikage, the Third Hoshikage had already completed Hand Seals. Moreover, the pale purple chakra emanating from him after Third Hoshikage Hand Seals was several times greater than that of an ordinary Hoshigakure, which explained his position as the Hoshigakure's leader. Furthermore, what slightly surprised Uchiha Yue was that the Third Hoshikage's Mysterious Peacock Method was actually able to block the Fubuki Tachi in its Edge of Exile form!
It's important to understand that even the Mysterious Peacock Method used by ordinary Hoshigakure could be easily shattered by Uchiha Yue's Fubuki Tachi in its Edge of Exile form. However, Uchiha Yue, wielding the Fubuki Tachi in its Edge of Exile Blade form, only managed to create a tiny crack in the barrier of the Third Hoshikage's Mysterious Peacock Method. This demonstrates the Third Hoshikage's formidable strength.
At this moment, the Third Hoshikage not only displayed a chakra level several times greater than that of the Hoshigakure, but also demonstrated his powerful Mysterious Peacock Method.
Even Uchiha Yue couldn't help but feel a hint of worry in his eyes because of the Third Hoshikage's strength.
At the same time, Uchiha Yue also sensed the difference in strength between a true elite Jonin and an ordinary Jonin!
"Falling Moon Style: Flash Step!"
"Whoosh..."
Seeing that he couldn't break through the Third Hoshikage's Mysterious Peacock Method, Uchiha Yue would be crazy if he didn't use Flash Step to dodge.
The reason Uchiha Yue can fight the Hoshigakure ninja is that, after mastering the essence of Gale, he can easily break through the Mysterious Peacock Method of the Hoshigakure. As long as he possesses the ability to break the Mysterious Peacock Method, Uchiha Yue is fearless against the Hoshigakure and can fight them. However, now, when Uchiha Yue fights the Third Hoshikage, he is unable to break through the Third Hoshikage's Mysterious Peacock Method. This puts Uchiha Yue Third Hoshikage a complete disadvantage. If the Third Hoshikage were to actually use the Mysterious Peacock Method to trap Uchiha Yue, Uchiha Yue would be in serious trouble.
Immediately afterwards...
After Uchiha Yue used Flash Step to dodge, he immediately avoided the Third Hoshikage's counterattack.
But who would have thought...
Just as Uchiha Yue was barely managing to dodge the Third Hoshikage's counterattack, the other Hoshigakure attacked simultaneously!
In an instant, purple chakra almost enveloped the entire sky, forming a cage to restrict Uchiha Yue's movements!
Looking at the vast expanse of pale purple chakra, and then at the Third Hoshikage preparing to use the Mysterious Peacock Method, Uchiha Yue bit her lower lip, thinking to herself:
"It seems like things are getting a bit complicated!"
