"Rumble..."
The moment Uchiha Yue finished speaking, a fierce surge of chakra erupted from his body, whipping violent gusts through the tightly sealed tent. At the same time, the Sunagakure ninja standing before him watched as a crimson hue emerged in Uchiha Yue's eyes. From that first flash of red to the awakening of his Mangekyō Sharingan, only a few short seconds had passed. Yet in those few seconds, the Sunagakure ninja witnessed Uchiha Yue's overwhelming power—and the might of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
In an instant, the space before the Sunagakure ninja warped and twisted. Meanwhile, at the very moment Uchiha Yue's eyes transformed into the Mangekyō Sharingan, a bloody red tint appeared in their pupils as well. Clearly, these Sunagakure ninja had already fallen under the Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular genjutsu. For the moment, even their lives and deaths were entirely in Uchiha Yue's hands.
Naturally, old woman Chiyo, leader of the Sunagakure delegation, could not simply stand by and watch. The next second, she snorted coldly as the chakra fluctuations within her body gradually spread outward. She was clearly trying to help the Sunagakure ninja under her command break free from the Mangekyō Sharingan's genjutsu. However, when Chiyo began to exert her power, Uchiha Yue merely sneered, plainly unconvinced that she could undo the Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular technique.
Sure enough, even though old woman Chiyo had begun using her strength, the Mangekyō Sharingan was still the Mangekyō Sharingan. Under Uchiha Yue's Mangekyō Sharingan, Chiyo's attempt to dispel the genjutsu affecting her Sunagakure ninja was as difficult as climbing to the heavens. Even Chiyo's pupils contracted slightly when she failed to break Uchiha Yue's Mangekyō Sharingan genjutsu. She had clearly been shocked by the Mangekyō Sharingan's overwhelming power.
Fortunately, just as Uchiha Yue and the Sunagakure delegation were at each
