Life and Death, Eight Seconds

Fight for your life!

Inspired by the Chunin Sunagakure who stood before him, Uchiha Yue finally decided to fight to the death and break through with all his might!

However, even though Uchiha Tsuki had made up his mind to fight the Sand Village ninjas in front of him without using his chakra, time was running out. The Sand Village Jonin in front of him had already begun forming hand seals simultaneously, preparing to trap him with a barrier technique.

Furthermore, based on the results obtained by Uchiha Tsuki using his Purple Eyes, he felt that the Sand Village Jonin would only need a maximum of eight seconds to complete the barrier jutsu. Therefore, Uchiha Tsuki only had eight seconds left. He needed to kill the eight Sand Village Chunin who were entangled with him within those eight seconds, then get close enough to the Sand Village Jonin to destroy the barrier jutsu they were about to cast, in order to succeed.

Without a doubt, no matter who it is, the success rate of completing such a difficult task in just eight seconds is zero.

However, in this critical situation, this was the only solution that Uchiha Yue could think of.

Therefore, even if the success rate is only 30%, Uchiha Yue is determined to give it his all.

It's all or nothing!

Uchiha Yue already resolved to fight to the death, so at this moment, he could not feel any fear or panic; he could only fight to the death!

Only by fighting to the death can Uchiha Yue gain that sliver of hope!

Immediately afterwards...

When Uchiha Yue made up his mind to fight the Sunagakure ninja in a desperate attempt to break through their encirclement, he awakened his Uchiha Yue Mangekyō Sharingan the first second of those eight life-or-death seconds. Awakening the Uchiha Yue Mangekyō Sharingan being able to use Chakra was extremely risky. After all, the Mangekyō Sharingan requires not only ocular power but also Chakra to maintain.

However, when Uchiha Yue checked his own condition earlier, he discovered that the Chakra he could use was just enough to support his Mangekyō Sharingan for eight seconds. Therefore, in the first second of those eight seconds of life and death, in order to increase his chances of breaking through, Uchiha Yue awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan without hesitation, exposing his crimson pupils, unique to Asura, to the Sunagakure ninja.

Immediately after Uchiha Yue awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, the Sunagakure Chunin Uchiha Yue been fighting fiercely around him were stunned. Clearly, none of these Sunagakure ninja had expected that Uchiha Yue was actually a member of the Uchiha Clan from Konoha, and possessed such a peculiar Sharingan. Actually, it's not surprising that these Sunagakure ninja failed to recognize Uchiha Yue; his clothing was completely unlike that of other Uchiha Clan members, who displayed the Uchiha Yue Uchiha Clan crest on their clothes.

Then, in the second second of those eight life-or-death seconds, Uchiha Yue, using the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step, instantly surpassed all the Sunagakure Chunin in front of him, successfully breaking through their entanglement Chunin a single step. Here, some might ask, why didn't Uchiha Yue use the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step earlier, but instead broke through the entanglement of these eight Sunagakure Chunin in one step?

Previously, Uchiha Yue had intended to use the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step to break through the encirclement of the eight Sunagakure Chunin one step. However, because these Sunagakure Chunin were all attacking Uchiha Yue recklessly, Uchiha Yue couldn't break through even using the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step under normal circumstances. Now, Uchiha Yue was able to break through using the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step in one step entirely because of his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Never forget the astonishing insight that Uchiha Yue possessed when the Mangekyō Sharingan was combined with his Purple Eye.

And let's not forget that Uchiha Yue's right Mangekyō Sharingan has an ability called Precognition!

The instant his Mangekyō Sharingan awakened, Uchiha Yue used his right eye to intently observe his surroundings, Precognition the attack trajectory Chunin the eight Sunagakure Chunin in front of him in a single second. Then, combined with the God's-eye view from his Mangekyō Sharingan Purple Eye, Uchiha Yue quickly found the Chunin in the attack of the eight Sunagakure Chunin and used the Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step to break through their encirclement.

However, after Uchiha Yue used the Falling Moon Style Shattering Step to break through the encirclement of the eight Sand Village Chunin in one step, unexpectedly, he did not immediately attack the eight Sand Village Jonin who were preparing to use barrier techniques. After successfully breaking through the desperate encirclement of the eight Sand Village Chunin, Uchiha Yue actually stood still for a second.

Moreover, in that very second, the eight Sunagakure Chunin that Uchiha Yue finally managed to shake off caught up with him once again.

Only...

In the fourth second of Uchiha Yue's desperate escape, a scene that thrilled all the Sunagakure ninjas came into view.

In that instant, the eight Chunin Sunagakure who had been outmaneuvered by Uchiha Yue had just caught up with him when he suddenly turned around and swung his Fubuki Tachi Uchiha Yue. In just one second, Uchiha Yue used his formidable physical strength to unleash a total of eight slashes!

With each strike, Uchiha Yue actually cut down on the throats of those Sunagakure Chunin!

In just one second, Uchiha Yue reaped the lives of eight Chunin Sunagakure!

However, after Uchiha Yue performed a breathtaking scene for the Sunagakure ninja, in the fifth second of the eight-second countdown between life and death, Uchiha Yue coughed up blood and knelt on the ground, his face pale. This was because, in the instant that Uchiha Yue unleashed eight slashes in one second, reaping the lives of eight Sunagakure Chunin, he subconsciously used the power of his Uchiha Yue Mangekyō Sharingan to cast Time Ninjutsu, saving time.

Otherwise, even a master swordsman like Uchiha Yue would not have been able to unleash eight strikes in just one second and take the lives of eight Sunagakure ninjas!

However, after subconsciously using Time Ninjutsu, Uchiha Yue sensed something was wrong. This was because he couldn't use much Chakra at the moment, and using the power of his Mangekyō Sharingan Uchiha Yue stop time with Time Ninjutsu consumed a large amount of Chakra. Therefore, after using time- Uchiha Yue Time Ninjutsu to stop time and expending excessive Chakra, Uchiha Yue's injuries flared up again.

That's why, in the fifth second of the eight-second countdown between life and death, Uchiha Yue coughed up blood and collapsed to his knees on the ground.

Only...

Even though Uchiha Yue's internal injuries had been aggravated at this moment, and even caused them to flare up again, forcing him to kneel on the ground...

However, Uchiha Yue never forgot his belief in fighting to the death, nor did he forget his mission to break through!

Therefore, after using too much Chakra and aggravating his injuries, Uchiha Yue became even more reckless and prepared to fight to the death against the Sunagakure ninjas in front of him, even with serious injuries!

Then, as Uchiha Tsuki's gaze gradually shifted to the eight Sand Village Jonin who were preparing to use a barrier technique...

In the sixth second of the eight-second countdown between life and death, Uchiha Yue unleashed the true power of Asura!

"Let's fight!"
