Shifting Steps, Scattered Hands
At this moment, even Hyuga Hiashi, who was fighting Uchiha Yue, could sense that the Gentle Fist used by Uchiha Yue was completely different from the Gentle Fist he used. - ||| Uploaded by a reader/ - View the latest updated chapters
The Gentle Fist used by Hyuga Hiashi was a technique developed by the Hyuga Clan over countless years to complement the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan Kekkei Genkai. According to Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Yue, the master of Gentle Fist, the Gentle Fist used by Uchiha Yue himself. In other words, after mastering the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist, Uchiha Yue, due to his own differences from the Hyuga Clan's style, or perhaps his unique characteristics, created a new version of Gentle Fist.
This kind of Gentle Fist can be called Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist.
The Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist, exclusively for Uchiha Yue!
Each time Hyuga Hiashi Chakra in his hands and closed in on Uchiha Yue to attack with Gentle Fist, Uchiha Yue, with his powerful Purple Eye, could instantly discern Hyuga Hiashi's attack pattern and trajectory. Then, after dodging Hyuga Hiashi's attacks, Uchiha Yue would counterattack with his own Falling Moon Style Gentle Fist. Gradually, by using a counter-attacking approach, Uchiha Yue had managed to suppress Hyuga Hiashi to a disadvantageous position.
Therefore, in Hyuga Hiashi's eyes, the Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist Style, which Uchiha Yue had mastered, was naturally far superior to the original Gentle Fist of the Hyuga Clan.
Unfortunately, Hyuga Hiashi never expected that the Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist, mastered by Uchiha Yue, while developed by him as a modification of the Hyuga Clan's Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist Gentle Fist, actually possessed the same power as the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist. The only difference was that the Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist required the Purple Eye, while the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist required the Byakugan. If a ninja using the Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist Gentle Fist was of equal strength to one using the Hyuga Clan's Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist- Hyuga Clan Gentle Fist ninja could only manage a draw.
It seems that the reason Uchiha Yue was able to use the Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist to suppress Hyuga Hiashi 'Hyuga Clan Gentle Fist wasn't because Uchiha Yue was stronger than Hyuga Hiashi, or because his mastery of Gentle Fist Uchiha Yue Hyuga Hiashi. The fundamental reason lies in the fact that while using the Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist against Hyuga Hiashi, Uchiha Yue was also employing an extremely powerful footwork technique!
With that footwork, Uchiha Yue was able to easily dodge Hyuga Hiashi's attacks, and then exploit the gaps in Hyuga Hiashi's attacks to Hyuga Hiashi, putting him at a disadvantage.
As for the footwork Uchiha Yue used at this moment, those who know him would probably immediately deduce that he was using the Basic Shatter Step of the Uchiha Yue Yagami Clan. After all, since Uchiha Yue the Basic Shatter Step training technique of the Yagami Clan, his Basic Shatter Step of it was in no way inferior to that of the members of the Yagami Clan in Kumogakure Uchiha Yue.
But...
If Uchiha Yue used Basic Shatter Step footwork when fighting Hyuga Hiashi, it wouldn't be entirely accurate.
Because the footwork that Uchiha Yue was using at this moment was a modified version of the Basic Shatter Step Uchiha Yue.
After Uchiha Yue improved upon it, the Basic Shatter Step originally belonging to the Yagami Clan completely became the Basic Shatter Step of the Falling Moon Style developed by Uchiha Yue.
Later, after Uchiha Yue further refined it, this footwork finally acquired a name unique to Uchiha Yue.
That is...
Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step!
Uchiha Yue's modified Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step were created by combining the advantages of the Yagami Clan's Basic Shatter Step —that is, their unique footwork rhythm. However, the Yagami Clan's Basic Shatter Step are merely a basic footwork technique. Their fundamental purpose is to gradually comprehend the mysteries of the Basic Shatter Step steps after mastering them, slowly grasp the foundation of Space-Time Ninjutsu Yagami Clan, and then further elevate the Basic Shatter Step to the Flash Step, a Space-Time Ninjutsu.
That is why, after Uchiha Yue mastered the technique of Flash Step, he discovered that the Basic Shatter Step was actually an incomplete footwork.
Its advantage is very clear: it uses the unique rhythm of its steps to evade enemy attacks.
However, its weakness is also very obvious: its power is greatly reduced when it encounters Jonin -level ninja with extremely rich combat experience.
Therefore, after Uchiha Yue fully mastered the Basic Shatter Step, as well as its Basic Shatter Step Flash Step, the Space-Time Ninjutsu Uchiha Yue Uchiha Yue, he always wanted to improve the Basic Shatter Step, making it a truly complete and powerful secret technique. However, he never had the opportunity to improve it, since the Basic Shatter Step already been nearly perfected thanks to the research of the Yagami Clan's ancestors.
However, after Uchiha Yue awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan and gradually mastered its abilities...
Uchiha Yue finally found an opportunity, or rather, a chance, to improve the Basic Shatter Step and make it a truly perfect secret technique!
The opportunity, or rather the catalyst, that Uchiha Yue found was another reverse ability that he mastered after acquiring the Uchiha Yue Mangekyō Sharingan!
Time Ninjutsu!
That's right, Uchiha Yue combined Time Ninjutsu with Basic Shatter Step to develop a new secret technique, Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step!
The Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step, while maintaining the unique rhythm of Basic Shatter Step, gradually combine that rhythm with the rhythm of Time Ninjutsu. In this way, whenever Uchiha Yue performs the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step, he can utilize the advantages of both Basic Shatter Step and Time Ninjutsu. However, the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step is not a true Time Ninjutsu; it is merely a foundation for Time Ninjutsu, only able to utilize a small portion of its advantages, such as better evading enemy attacks.
Even so, under Uchiha Yue's refinement, the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step became an extremely terrifying footwork!
Therefore, when Uchiha Yue used the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step to fight Hyuga Hiashi, he was able to use his Purple Eye to perceive Hyuga Hiashi 'Uchiha Yue attack patterns, and in critical moments, he could slow down time to evade Hyuga Hiashi's attacks using the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step. In this way, Uchiha Yue was flawless on both offense and defense, naturally able to completely suppress Hyuga Hiashi in front of him!
And...
Just as Uchiha Yue completely overwhelmed Hyuga Hiashi, eliminating all of Hyuga Hiashi's advantages and forcing him into a disadvantageous position...
Suddenly, when Uchiha Yue and Hyuga Hiashi clashed, their fighting styles changed abruptly!
That technique not only incorporated the secrets of the Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist that Uchiha Yue mastered, but also added some new and very wonderful techniques to it!
If you were to ask why Uchiha Yue would use a new technique against Hyuga Hiashi, it would be because this technique is Uchiha Yue's hidden trump card, the trump card he is preparing to use to defeat Hyuga Hiashi!
And that trump card is called the Falling Moon Style: Scattering Hand!
