Stitching Ninjutsu

When Uchiha Yue clashed with Kushimaru Kuriarare in the first round, he had been completely suppressed and forced into a disadvantage by Kushimaru Kuriarare. In fact, if Uchiha Yue had not been proficient in space-time ninjutsu, he might have been severely wounded in that very first round.

However, after seeing through Kushimaru Kuriarare's fighting style, Uchiha Yue was two hundred percent confident that he could defeat him.

That was what made Uchiha Yue terrifying!

The most frightening enemy was often not one who could kill you in a single exchange, but one who grew stronger and stronger in battle.

An instant kill only showed that the gap in strength between two people was too great. Just as Uchiha Yue could now instantly kill genin- and chunin-level ninja, that was nothing worth being proud of. But growing stronger in battle was another matter entirely. Although Uchiha Yue was currently being forced into a disadvantage by Kushimaru Kuriarare, he could seize the initiative after just one round through his own strength.

That kind of ability was the most terrifying of all.

Few people were willing to fight Uchiha Yue for long precisely because of that frightening ability!

Then...

Kushimaru Kuriarare remained as confident as ever. Believing that Uchiha Yue would definitely fall into his hands in the next round, he charged straight at Uchiha Yue without a care. Moreover, when Kushimaru Kuriarare reached Uchiha Yue this time, he was not as thoroughly prepared as before. Thus, just as Kushimaru Kuriarare was about to attack, Uchiha Yue did not even need to use his Purple Eye for insight. With only the Sharingan in his eyes, he saw through Kushimaru Kuriarare's attack pattern.

Yet, what was surprising was that Uchiha Yue, despite seeing through Kushimaru Kuriarare's attack pattern, did not evade his attack!
