Sand Ninja Intelligence

Second, just as Uchiha Yue and Mei Terumi had discussed, they needed to set out for the border of the Land of Wind and prepare to break through it.

However, both Uchiha Yue and Mei Terumi knew very well that, with their current strength, breaking out of the Land of Wind would be no less difficult than the two of them going to destroy Sunagakure. After all, Sunagakure was currently in a state of high tension. The border defenses of the Land of Wind were surely extremely strict, with at least several elite Sunagakure units stationed there to prevent other ninja villages from sending forces to attack Sunagakure after learning of the turmoil within it.

What was more, Uchiha Yue currently had no way to use chakra, while Mei Terumi was not the Fifth Mizukage from the original story, possessing strength that stood at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World. Unable to use chakra, Uchiha Yue could only fight with a samurai's methods. Though his physical strength was remarkable, even killing a jonin-level ninja in this condition would be extremely difficult. As for Mei Terumi, despite possessing the strength of an elite chunin, in an actual fight, she might not even be a match for the current Uchiha Yue.

By that calculation, in Uchiha Yue and Mei Terumi's breakout plan, Mei Terumi—the one with elite chunin strength—was actually holding back Uchiha Yue, who could not use chakra. Yet while considering their options, Uchiha Yue did not tell Mei Terumi that she was dragging him down. Clearly, because Mei Terumi had saved his life, he wanted to leave her a little dignity and thus concealed the truth.

Still, Uchiha Yue's approach led to many amusing incidents on the road as he and Mei Terumi prepared to leave the Land of Wind.
