The Might of the Spray

"Rumble..."

In the first exchange between Uchiha Yue and Munashi Jinpachi, Uchiha Yue had originally intended to seize the initiative with a Falling Moon Style Secret Technique and kill Munashi Jinpachi, who was preparing to flee. Yet to Uchiha Yue's surprise, even while fleeing, Munashi Jinpachi had not let down his guard.

As a result, Uchiha Yue's fierce assault not only failed to claim Munashi Jinpachi's life, but was instead blocked by Munashi Jinpachi, who stopped the Fubuki Tachi in his hand from continuing its descent. Moreover, after Munashi Jinpachi used the Explosion Sword "Splash" to block Uchiha Yue's Fubuki Tachi, Uchiha Yue failed to dodge in time, and the Explosion Sword "Splash" detonated, directly injuring the right hand holding his Fubuki Tachi!

After the explosion, Uchiha Yue's right hand was covered in blood, even bearing burns from the blast. If Wind Style Chakra had not covered his right hand and provided protection when it was injured, his right hand might have been crippled outright by Munashi Jinpachi's Explosion Sword "Splash." This was something Uchiha Yue had never anticipated when he had pursued Munashi Jinpachi earlier.

Then, after gaining the advantage in that exchange, Munashi Jinpachi, a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, no longer had any intention of simply turning around and fleeing. The next second, he raised the Explosion Sword "Splash" high and brought it smashing down directly before Uchiha Yue.

This time, Uchiha Yue silently warned himself not to be careless. Yet just as he used Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist to evade, the Explosion Sword "Splash" unleashed another unreasonable blast, once again catching Uchiha Yue in its damage. Fortunately, his injuries this time were not serious; only his cheek had been slightly grazed by the explosion.

Even so, suffering twice in a row
