"Ah?"
Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's sincere words, Mei Terumi's first reaction was not joy, but confusion.
That's right, it's confusion!
In Mei Terumi's view, Uchiha Yue was an extremely arrogant ninja.
Indeed, it would be surprising if a ninja as young as Uchiha Yue, who had achieved so much, didn't have a hint of arrogance. Moreover, Uchiha Yue had already forged his own path as an all-around ninja. The Falling Uchiha Yue Falling Moon Style Secret Technique he created is a technique that countless ninjas could not master even after a lifetime of research. Such an achievement is enough to give Uchiha Yue the right to be arrogant.
Therefore, when Uchiha Yue came to ask her a question in a sincere tone, Mei Terumi's first reaction was confusion.
Then, a hint of annoyance appeared in Mei Terumi's eyes, clearly Mei Terumi thought Uchiha Yue hadn't come to ask for advice, but rather to cause trouble.
When Uchiha Yue noticed the anger in Mei Terumi's eyes, he knew what she was thinking. Clearly, Mei Terumi she had nothing to offer Uchiha Yue, so when she heard that Mei Terumi Uchiha Yue had come to ask for advice, she was first taken aback, then assumed Mei Terumi Uchiha Yue was deliberately trying to humiliate her.
Later, after realizing that Mei Terumi Uchiha Yue him, Uchiha Yue quickly defended himself before she became completely angry, saying, "Mei Terumi, don't be angry, listen to me. Actually, I came to ask you some questions, not to humiliate you. Don't be fooled by my current achievements; I still have some shortcomings that need improvement, such as in ninjutsu, where I need to learn more from you!"
"The level of ninjutsu you displayed when fighting those Sunagakure ninjas truly surprised me."
"And I discovered a long time ago that my ninjutsu skills could not be improved any further."
"So, I'm here to ask you some questions about ninjutsu. If you feel I've been a bit presumptuous, then I apologize!"
Then, Uchiha Yue actually bowed deeply to Mei Terumi, leaving Mei Terumi somewhat at a loss for words.
Especially after realizing she had previously misjudged him, Mei Terumi blushed deeply. She quickly helped Mei Terumi Uchiha Yue up, saying, "It's nothing, Uchiha Yue. I know I misunderstood you. However, I've seen you use ninjutsu before. While your style is somewhat unique, your mastery of ninjutsu is undoubtedly very strong. Just tell me what you want to ask. Actually, it's not really a question for us, just an exchange."
"Okay, then I'll just ask directly."
After hearing Mei Terumi's words, Uchiha Yue pondered for a moment before Mei Terumi directly to her, "Mei Terumi, to be honest, whether it's my proficiency in ninjutsu or the ease with which I use it, I feel I'm slightly better than you. But for some reason, I always feel that when I use ninjutsu, I don't flow as smoothly as you do. It's as if I'm extremely clumsy when using ninjutsu, unable to connect each technique seamlessly. Why is that?"
"Huh? Is that all the simple question you're asking?"
As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Mei Terumi was stunned for a few seconds, then said to Uchiha Yue with a hint of helplessness, "Uchiha Yue, do you know how long I've trained so hard to perfect the execution of each ninjutsu? From the moment I became a ninja, I've followed the path of a ninjutsu-based ninja. I've always fought using ninjutsu, so my ability to perfectly execute each ninjutsu wasn't acquired through training, but through actual combat."
Mei Terumi paused again, then continued speaking to Uchiha Yue, "Uchiha Yue, I've seen you use ninjutsu before, and I know that each of your ninjutsu is very powerful. However, Uchiha Yue, haven't you noticed? You rely too much on Taijutsu in battle. It's not that relying too much on Taijutsu is bad, but rather that you've developed a habit of using Taijutsu to solve problems. Over time, you'll naturally feel that your ninjutsu skills are not as good as your taijutsu prowess. Ultimately, it's because you haven't used ninjutsu enough in combat."
"I see!"
When Mei Terumi arrived, Uchiha Yue immediately grasped the crux of the matter, and the problem regarding his mastery of ninjutsu was naturally solved.
To be honest, Uchiha Yue hadn't noticed this problem before, not because Uchiha Yue, but because he was too caught up in the situation to think of it. For the most part, Uchiha Yue close combat to defeat his enemies, because he believed that close combat conserved Uchiha Yue and allowed him to fight for longer periods.
However, the current Uchiha Yue is different from the Uchiha Yue of the past.
Now that Uchiha Yue has ample chakra, he no longer needs to fight using his old fighting style.
Therefore, Uchiha Yue, who had gained ample chakra through training with "Stars," was unaware that he was no longer the same person who lacked chakra.
This is why Uchiha Yue's other skills are improving, while his ninjutsu seems to have stagnated.
At this moment, Uchiha Yue had realized the mistake he had made earlier, and naturally, he would not repeat such a basic error.
In fact, Uchiha Yue secretly made a decision in his heart: as long as he could regain the ability to use chakra, he would definitely hone his ninjutsu skills as much as possible.
I strive to break through the bottleneck in my ninjutsu skills as soon as possible and reach the level of a near -Kage Level expert.
But...
As Uchiha Yue secretly made up his mind, he didn't notice that Uchiha Yue was looking at him with a conflicted Mei Terumi.
After much internal struggle, Mei Terumi finally took a deep breath and made up her mind to do what she truly wanted.
Immediately afterwards...
Just as Uchiha Yue was about to thank Mei Terumi for helping him solve his ninjutsu problem, Mei Terumi finally spoke to Uchiha Yue in front of her, saying, "Uchiha Yue, actually I also have some questions to ask you. I wonder if you could answer them for me?"
"Just ask whatever your question is."
Hearing Mei Terumi's words, Uchiha Yue Mei Terumi and replied directly, "Mei Terumi, you helped me with my ninjutsu problem earlier, and you weren't bothered at all. Now, if you have any questions, just say so. Anything I, Uchiha Yue, can help you with, I'll definitely answer to the best of my ability! Alright, go ahead and ask your question, Mei Terumi!"
"Um!"
Uchiha Yue nodded emphatically in response. Then, after Uchiha Yue Mei Terumi, Mei Terumi asked without hesitation, "Uchiha Yue, may I ask what kind of footwork that strange footwork you taught me is?"
