The counterattack against the wind began the instant Hozuki March cast his genjutsu at Uchiha Yue!
Perhaps Hozuki March, a Kage-level expert of the Hozuki Clan, simply had no experience fighting Uchiha Yue. Therefore, despite his formidable mastery of genjutsu, Hozuki March believed he could completely suppress Uchiha Yue's illusions with his own.

If Uchiha Yue had not been able to perfectly counter genjutsu-type shinobi, he truly might
