The decisive battle at Falling Water Gorge came to an end, and Uchiha Yue finally claimed the ultimate victory.
In the decisive battle at Falling Water Gorge, Uchiha Yue had truly given it his all. He had even used Purple Eye's Rinnegan-like abilities in combat. His record in that battle was terrifying as well—four Kage-level experts had died by his hand. Moreover, all four were Kage-level experts from Kirigakure, hailing respectively from the Kaguya Clan, Yuki Clan, and Hozuki Clan. This fully demonstrated the strength of an all-round quasi-Kage-level expert.
Had an ordinary quasi-Kage-level expert, or even Sasori of the Red Sands, faced so many Kage-level experts, that person—or Sasori of the Red Sands—would likely have long since died at the hands of Kirigakure's many powerful fighters. But Uchiha Yue had not. Not only had he survived the Kage-level experts of Kirigakure before him, he had also driven off Sasori of the Red Sands through sheer force of presence, forcing him to sign an unequal treaty and bringing the battle to its conclusion.
However, after Uchiha Yue drove off Sasori of the Red Sands, the Kirigakure ninja forces below became his next problem. At this moment, after fighting four Kage-level experts from Kirigakure and driving off Sasori of the Red Sands, Uchiha Yue had truly reached the end of his strength. The ocular power of his Mangekyō Sharingan had been completely depleted. Even when he used his Sharingan in its Three-Tomoe form, his vision was blurred. Even after deactivating his Sharingan, his sight could not return to normal.
Perhaps the Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular power could gradually recover as Uchiha Yue killed more Kirigakure ninja. But aside from his chakra reserves remaining plentiful, even his mental energy had been exhausted. With his mental energy depleted, Uchiha Yue's chakra control had plummeted.
