Missed Opportunity
This is troublesome, it really is troublesome!
Previously, when Uchiha Yue fought against the Hoshigakure ninjas, they mostly fought individually and didn't use the Mysterious Peacock Method to attack him. However, when the Third Hoshikage appeared before Uchiha Yue, the Hoshigakure seemed to have found their leader and instantly unleashed the Mysterious Peacock Method simultaneously, trapping Uchiha Yue within a barrier formed of Uchiha Yue purple Chakra.
Moreover, at the same time, the powerful Third Hoshikage was forming hand Hand Seals, preparing to unleash the Mysterious Peacock Method for an attack.
Under such circumstances, it would be virtually impossible for the weakened Uchiha Yue to evade the Hoshigakure ninjas or the Third Hoshikage's Mysterious Peacock Method!
Immediately afterwards...
You can see the Third Hoshikage finish his Hand Seals, gather his light purple Chakra, and unleash the Mysterious Peacock Method to rush towards Uchiha Yue!
"Mysterious Peacock Method: Peacock Flash!"
"Whoosh..."
When the Third Hoshikage gathering the pale purple Chakra within his body, he transformed it into the shape of Chakra. The peacock, formed from the pale purple Chakra, then spread its wings and used the sharp Uchiha Yue Chakra Chakra.
After using his Purple Eye to perceive the Third Hoshikage's Mysterious Peacock Method, Uchiha Yue began to dodge using Basic Shatter Step. However, under the Mysterious Peacock Method of those Hoshigakure, Uchiha Yue had very little space to dodge. Therefore, seeing that he could not dodge the Third Hoshikage's Mysterious Peacock Method, Uchiha Yue cleverly used Flash Step) to avoid the Third Hoshikage's attack.
However, how many times can Uchiha Yue use Flash Step now?
Keep in mind that Uchiha Yue's Chakra and spiritual energy are running low!
Therefore, when Uchiha Yue, in utter desperation, used Flash Step to evade the Third Hoshikage's Mysterious Peacock Method, he searched for a way to escape. However, when the Hoshigakure ninjas used the Mysterious Peacock Method together, even Uchiha Yue, possessing both the Purple Eye and the Sharingan —two divine tools of perception—couldn't find any flaws in their execution. But after using his Purple Eye and Sharingan to thoroughly examine the Mysterious Peacock Method used by the Hoshigakure ninjas, Uchiha Yue suddenly realized that there was something slightly strange about how the Hoshigakure ninjas used the Mysterious Peacock Method together!
"Strange, if those ninjas from the Hoshigakure could have used the Mysterious Peacock Method in such a coordinated manner from the beginning, why didn't they restrict my movements in this way from the start?"
"As long as those Hoshigakure can unite, I will have absolutely no chance to slaughter them."
"Wouldn't this greatly reduce the casualties in the Hoshigakure?"
"However, the ninjas of the Hoshigakure can only use the Mysterious Peacock Method in combination when the so-called Third Hoshikage appears."
"Moreover, the Mysterious Peacock Method they used actually gave people a very disjointed feeling."
Could it be...?
As he pondered this in his heart, Uchiha Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, and then his gaze fell on the Third Hoshikage.
Undoubtedly, Uchiha Yue had already guessed something, but he hadn't confirmed it yet.
As for what Uchiha Yue guessed, it was that the Hoshigakure ninjas might need the Third Hoshikage's help to use the Mysterious Peacock Method together. After all, although the Hoshigakure ninjas all trained using "stars" and their Chakra could basically be fused together, it still required a certain level of coordination and a long period of training for so many Hoshigakure ninjas to use the Mysterious Peacock Method together. Only the most powerful Hoshigakure Third Hoshikage Chakra, Hoshigakure them to use the Mysterious Peacock Method together even without prior coordination.
Once Uchiha Yue had this guess in his mind, he knew that the key to his escape lay with the Third Hoshikage ahead.
The next second...
A cold glint flashed in Uchiha Yue's eyes, and then his figure approached the Third Hoshikage.
At this moment, even if Uchiha Yue wasn't confident he could break through the Third Hoshikage's Mysterious Peacock Method, he still wanted to challenge the Third Hoshikage 'Uchiha Yue authority. Because if Uchiha Yue couldn't successfully restrain the Third Hoshikage, he would die at the hands of these Uchiha Yue Hoshigakure. Rather than waiting to die there, he might as well fight the Third Hoshikage head-on. Now, Uchiha Yue, with the determination to fight to the death, clashed with the Third Hoshikage before him.
But...
To Uchiha Yue's utter surprise, when he was fighting the Third Hoshikage, a very strange sensation suddenly appeared in his eyes!
The feeling seemed to appear out of thin air, which slightly surprised Uchiha Yue.
Then, as Uchiha Yue carefully experienced that feeling, he was able to perceive, using his Purple Eye, that the three black Tomoe in his pupils were constantly rotating. Then, when Uchiha Yue noticed the anomaly in his pupils, a slight smile appeared on his lips. Clearly, Uchiha Yue had deduced why his pupils were experiencing that strange sensation.
The reason is that Uchiha Yue's Sharingan is finally about to have a new breakthrough!
The breakthrough beyond the Three-Tomoe Sharingan is the Mangekyō Sharingan, a legendary ability of the Uchiha Clan!
"If I can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, I'm confident I can escape, not just from the Third Hoshikage, but even from other 'Kage' villages!"
"Now, I just hope I can successfully open my eyes!"
Feeling that he was only one step away from awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Yue fought even harder against the Third Hoshikage in front of him.
However, as the Third Hoshikage sensed Uchiha Yue's desperate struggle, some strange thoughts arose in his mind. Undoubtedly, if the Third Hoshikage reclaim the "Star" from Uchiha Yue, his position in Hoshigakure would become even more secure. But if the Third Hoshikage to be seriously injured in the battle with Uchiha Yue, even if he did reclaim the "Star," he would likely lose his chance at the position of Hoshikage.
After all, in ninja villages like Hoshigakure, the selection of a leader is based solely on strength.
If one doesn't possess sufficient strength, then the Third Hoshikage would only have the option of abdicating.
Therefore, when the Third Hoshikage saw that Uchiha Yue was preparing to fight desperately, fearing that he would get hurt, the Third Hoshikage engaged in a fierce battle with Uchiha Yue in front of him.
The Third Hoshikage's negative mindset inadvertently cost Uchiha Yue a chance to break through.
It seems that Uchiha Yue will miss this opportunity to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan!
