Face to Face

Attending the meeting alone was the first step in the Uchiha Yue Plan. [sgu,60, ss]

Long before Uchiha Yue discovered that Mandarin Fish Town was like a den of dragons and tigers, Uchiha Yue began to prepare his plan. His purpose in going alone was to intimidate the Kirigakure ninja guarding the area around Mandarin Fish Town, preventing them from making any rash moves. As for Uchiha Yue himself, the closer he got to Mandarin Fish Town, the greater the chance he would be able to rescue his mother, Minako.

Therefore, Uchiha Yue's solo trip to the meeting was to get as close as possible to his mother, Minako.

Of course, Uchiha Yue's solo trip to the meeting was also a high-stakes gamble.

He was gambling that Uchiha Madara had the same magnanimity as himself!

If Uchiha Yue loses the bet, he will probably be surrounded and killed by the Uchiha Yue Kirigakure before he even gets close to Mandarin Fish Town.

But for some reason, Uchiha Yue felt that he couldn't possibly lose his gamble, because his real opponent was the legendary Uchiha Madara, who was also his ancestor.

Uchiha Yue and Uchiha Madara were actually kindred spirits. Even though Uchiha Yue didn't have a true protagonist like Uchiha Madara, who was Uchiha Yue's previous life, Uchiha Yue was truly going to the meeting alone!

Before him lay a den of dragons and tigers laid out by the ninjas of Kirigakure Uchiha Madara, was hidden. Thus, Uchiha Yue, alone and with only one sword, arrived at the front of Mandarin Fish Town.

Gripping the Fubuki Tachi in his hand, with the Fubuki Tachi angled to his right, Uchiha Yue slowly moved forward, each step covering an exact distance.

The Hidden Kirigakure hiding around Mandarin Fish Town, upon seeing Uchiha Yue's gait, could immediately sense his Uchiha Yue and composed under such circumstances, even maintaining the perfect distance with each step, proved his fearlessness and extreme composure. Possessing such a strong heart, such Uchiha Yue, and such a cool head, Uchiha Yue's standing among the Hidden Kirigakure ninjas rose dramatically, instilling a sense of dread in them.

And isn't this a form of deterrence?

Before the Kirigakure ninjas could even make a move, Uchiha Yue, with his aura of going to the meeting alone, actually managed to turn the tide.

Thus, the first round of combat between Uchiha Yue and Uchiha Madara ended in a draw!

In fact, the fact that Uchiha Yue able to turn the tide and make the first round a draw already constitutes a victory for him.

Don't forget, Uchiha Madara holds the lifeline of Uchiha Yue in his hands!

The fact that Uchiha Yue was able to turn the tide under such circumstances undoubtedly proves his strength!

Then, as Uchiha Yue approached Mandarin Fish Town step by step, he began to use his Purple Eye to observe the situation in Uchiha Yue Mandarin Fish Town.

"Sixty Jonin, one hundred and twenty Chunin."

"A total of sixty Kirigakure, which is three elite Kirigakure units."

"Uchiha Madara, you actually used the power of Kirigakure to this extent just to test my strength."

"That's amazing!"

"And..."

As he thought this, Uchiha Yue suddenly realized that a blind spot had appeared within the range of his Purple Eye.

Undoubtedly, a formidable opponent is lurking in that blind spot.

Immediately, Uchiha Yue continued to think to himself:

"Moreover, you actually sent your double, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, to Mandarin Fish Town!"

"If you're accompanied by the Fourth Mizukage 'Yagura Shadow Guard, then you're giving me too much credit!"

"But..."

"If you really brought the Shadow Guard with you, it proves that my mother is under the protection of the Fourth Mizukage 'Yagura Shadow Guard."

Whether I can rescue my mother depends on the success of my next plan!

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Yue calmed his slightly agitated emotions and walked straight to the front of Mandarin Fish Town.

As if by some unspoken agreement, Uchiha Yue, wielding the Fubuki Tachi, stopped at the gate of Mandarin Fish Town. The moment he stopped, the blind spot within his range gradually shifted to the front of Mandarin Fish Town. Then, when the Uchiha Yue spot finally reached the Mandarin Fish Town, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, appeared before Uchiha Yue.

Moreover, just as Uchiha Yue had guessed, the people next to the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, were indeed members of the Kirigakure Shadow Guard.

Among the members of the Shadow Guard, besides the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, there was also a woman who was unconscious.

That person was none other than Uzumaki Minako, the mother that Uchiha Yue had been searching for!

Undoubtedly, when Minako, Uchiha Yue Uchiha Yue's mother, appeared before him, Uchiha Yue's state of mind was inevitably stirred. If anyone were in Uchiha Yue's position, they would have seen Uchiha Yue right foot deeply embedded in the mud. Clearly, Uzumaki Minako momentarily disrupted Uchiha Yue's control of his strength, causing his right foot to sink a full two centimeters into the soil.

An ordinary person would not have noticed Uchiha Yue.

After all, no one can observe that closely. Even a ninja of Minato Namikaze's caliber here probably wouldn't notice Uchiha Yue's loss of composure.

However, the person standing before Uchiha Yue was no ordinary person; that person was the legendary Uchiha Madara.

Even though Uchiha Madara was only controlling the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, to come, Uchiha Madara was still Uchiha Madara, and he immediately noticed Uchiha Yue's loss of composure.

So...

Three seconds after Uchiha Yue lost his composure, a mocking smile appeared on the face of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura.

Immediately, the voice of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, appeared in Uchiha Yue's ears; it was also the first thing Uchiha Madara said to Uchiha Yue.

"The legendary Asura."

"Nothing special!"
