There were indeed many ways for ninja to disguise themselves in the Shinobi World.
However, Uchiha Yue had never relied on appearance or attire to identify ninja, but rather the aura they carried. No matter how a person changed, their aura could not change.

For some reason, every time Uchiha Yue met
