Gale of Suffocation

"Whetstone?"

Muttering Uchiha Yue's words, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, instead of being angry, laughed, and at the same time, an excited look flashed in his eyes.

Undoubtedly, Uchiha Yue's performance at this moment greatly pleased the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, and even Uchiha Madara. At the very least, Uchiha Yue's actions excited Uchiha Madara, because Uchiha Yue had killed twenty Kirigakure in just a few seconds. Moreover, Uchiha Yue's nonchalant attitude, Chunin the twenty Kirigakure as Chunin, further revealed to Uchiha Madara the hidden magnanimity within Uchiha Yue.

But...

Despite possessing such magnanimity, Uchiha Yue was still deemed unsuitable as a valuable pawn by Uchiha Madara.

After all, a good chess piece cannot have too much of its own will, and few people with such magnanimity as Uchiha Yue can control his will.

Therefore, shortly after Uchiha Tsukiyomi finished speaking, Uchiha Madara, controlling the Fourth Mizukage Shikura, issued his second order. Immediately, six Jonin from Kirigakure, leading twelve Chunin from Kirigakure, attacked Uchiha Tsukiyomi. Clearly, Uchiha Madara, controlling the Fourth Mizukage Shikura, intended to use his Kirigakure ninja to wear down Uchiha Tsukiyomi's morale.

Only by wearing down Uchiha Yue's sharpness can he become a valuable Uchiha Yue.

At least, that's how Uchiha Yue sees it.

However, when Uchiha Tsuki saw six more Kirigakure Jonin and twelve more Kirigakure Chunin attacking him, he showed no fear. A closer look revealed a burning fighting spirit in his pupils. Undoubtedly, Uchiha Tsuki viewed the approaching Kirigakure ninjas as a challenge, or perhaps a mission.

The more Kirigakure he slaughtered, the more confident Uchiha Yue would be in rescuing his mother, Uzumaki Minako.

The only ninjas guarding this area from Kirigakure, besides the Fourth Mizukage Yagura was controlled by Uchiha Madara, were the members of Fourth Mizukage's Yagura Shadow Guard.

Sixty Jonin and one hundred and twenty Chunin from the Hidden Mist Village—killing one means one less to kill.

Now, if Uchiha Tsukuyomi kills the Kirigakure ninja in front of him, the number of Kirigakure ninja will be reduced to only fifty-four Kirigakure Jonin and eighty-eight Kirigakure Chunin.

Therefore, while Uchiha Madara, who was controlling the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, was still testing him, Uchiha Yue told himself that he must kill as many Kirigakure ninja as possible.

Immediately afterwards...

Uchiha Yue then engaged in battle with the Kirigakure ninja who attacked him.

However, Uchiha Yue found himself facing some difficulties right at the start of their fight.

Because among the Kirigakure ninjas that Uchiha Tsuki faced, there were six Kirigakure Jonin. Jonin-level ninjas hold a special status in the ninja world; even during the Ninja Wars, Jonin-level ninjas could lead teams in battle. Therefore, when six Kirigakure Jonin attacked his team, Uchiha Tsuki clearly noticed that the Kirigakure Chunin had become stronger.

Immediately, after Uchiha Yue to dodge the attacks of the Kirigakure ninjas with Basic Shatter Step, he thought to himself:

"The Bloody Mist Ninjas were originally the most skilled among the Five Great Shinobi Villages."

"And the Jonin Kirigakure, upon their very appearance, displayed exceptional personal abilities and leadership skills."

"If I want to completely eliminate those sixty Kirigakure Jonin, it will probably take a lot of my strength."

"Even if I use 'Star' to train now, by the time I wipe out the remaining Kirigakure Jonin, my chakra will probably be almost depleted."

"It seems I need to find a way to conserve Chakra as much as possible!"

Silently realizing this, Uchiha Tsuki stopped using wind-style chakra when dodging the attacks from the Kirigakure ninja. Instead, he used basic footwork to evade their attacks. Thanks to the Mangekyou Sharingan and the perception abilities of his purple eyes, Uchiha Tsuki had no problem using basic footwork. However, to quickly eliminate the six Kirigakure Jonin, Uchiha Tsuki would still need to expend some effort.

The next second...

Just as Uchiha Tsuki used basic footwork to dodge the combined attack of two Kirigakure Jonin...

Suddenly, the remaining four Kirigakure Jonin appeared behind Uchiha Tsuki, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

However, thanks to his powerful insightful abilities, Uchiha Yue had already discerned the intentions of the six Kirigakure Jonin. The reason he didn't immediately counter their scheme was because he intended to kill them all in one fell swoop. Then, just as the six Kirigakure Jonin, believing Uchiha Yue was trapped, surrounded him from both sides, Uchiha Yue vanished in the blink of an eye!

"Space-Time Ninjutsu!"

Upon seeing Uchiha Yue disappear in an instant, Uchiha Madara, who was controlling the Fourth Mizukage's Yagura in the distance, immediately recognized that the Ninjutsu Uchiha Yue used was Space-Time Ninjutsu.

Madara Uchiha's prediction was entirely correct; the method Uchiha Tsukuyomi used to evade the attack from the six Kirigakure Jonin was none other than the Rakugetsu-ryu Shunpo!

Using the Moonfall Style Instant Step, Uchiha Yue instantly dodged the attacks of the Kirigakure Jonin and arrived at a relatively safe place. He gathered his chakra and activated the Wind Release Chakra Nature Transformation. Soon, more and more Wind Release chakra could be seen gathering on Uchiha Yue's katana, Fubuki. Even around Uchiha Yue's body, the flow of Wind Release chakra was strangely palpable, almost as if a tornado was slowly gathering beneath his feet.

Then, when Uchiha Yue had fully gathered the Wind Style Chakra within his body...

Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in Uchiha Yue's eyes, and then he thrust his katana, Fubuki, at the six Kirigakure Jonin in front of him!

"The Falling Moon Style Steel-Severing Flash Secret Technique!"

"The Wind Sweeps the Clouds!"

"Call..."

The instant Uchiha Tsuki unleashed his katana, Fubuki, the wind-style chakra gathered on it coalesced into a powerful tornado within seconds, instantly blasting the six Kirigakure Jonin in front of him into the air. However, Uchiha Tsuki's true killing move wasn't the ultimate technique of the Falling Moon Style Steel Flash. His real killing move was the combo that followed the Falling Moon Style Steel Flash!

"The Falling Moon Style Gale Secret Technique!"

"Mad!"

"Wind!"

"Absolutely amazing!"

"Interest!"

"Cut!"
