Chapter 20 Who Is Shisui (Part 1)

Under the light of the moon, which has been specially magnified several times, the Valley of the End Falls looks like a Milky Way flowing with white fireworks.

Uchiha Itachi sat at the wrist of the Senju Hashirama statue with his palms clasped together, looking down at the two people standing opposite each other under the waterfall.

Even if he knew that this was an illusion space, Shisui would not cause any real harm to Giyuu, but he was still so nervous that he turned a blind eye to a whole table of three-color meatballs.

Itachi wasn't quite sure how many times Shisui would kill him here and how much he would hurt him in order to impress Giyuu.

As for the possibility of volunteer victory, he never thought about it at all.

After all, the person standing opposite Giyuu was the number one Uchiha master as his father had admitted.

The number of people in Konoha who could defeat Shisui could not be exceeded by more than one palm.

[I hope he won’t leave any trauma on Yiyong. 】

As soon as he had this idea, Shisui below him started to move.

Uchiha Shisui first turned around and gave Itachi a "reassuring" gesture, and then pointed lightly at Uchiha Madara's statue——

Two red numbers immediately appeared in the latter's eyes: "9" and "9" respectively.

But a second later, the "9" in his left eye turned into an "8", then a "7", and then a "6".

Yiyong understood. It was a large countdown clock, just like the Pomodoro clock he used to steam eggs in the kitchen.

"In order to let you understand the impact of the environment on ninjas, every 99 seconds, I will randomly change the terrain or celestial phenomena here.

"Some terrains may be more suitable for your performance, while others are completely opposite. You have to use several times the chakra to escape through water.

"The same is true in battles among ordinary ninjas. Very few people can always have the upper hand. Many jounin-level ninjutsu may only have the effect of chunin when used in inappropriate places."

Zhisui chuckled and explained, "During our battle, all the rules in the illusion space are the same as outside. You have to understand these subtle differences."

Yiyong was silent for a while and then uttered two words: "Thank you."

He could see that Shisui was nominally trying to compete with him, but in fact it was like teaching him how to fight ninjas. And from what Itachi said before, using this technique might hurt Shisui's eyes.

"Haha, I knew you were a smart kid."

Shisui slowly pulled out the ninja sword from his back, making a gentle rough rubbing sound, as if he was deliberately diverting Giyuu's attention.

"However, Yiyong, you also said before that I don't have to be merciful, so...

"I can only respect your wishes!"

The moment Shisui finished speaking, a sharp kunai flew in front of Giyuu.

There was no warning, it came suddenly like a bolt from the blue.

[Not even the Seal of Opposition is tied...]

Itachi was startled by the sudden fight.

And Yiyong's face was as cold as ever.

Facing the sneak attack, he seemed to have been prepared for it. He just casually turned sideways, rubbed the edge of the kunai and dodged, letting the kunai shoot into the woods behind him, making a muffled sound.

[Can I also see the trajectory of kunai in this way? 】

Shisui noticed that Giyuu didn't use the Sharingan at all, and couldn't help but admire his reaction speed.

However, this is just bait...

When Giyuu turned his gaze slightly, Shisui's baby face had quietly flown to his side.

"be careful."

The eyelash essence said words of concern, but she didn't hesitate at all when she took action.

The ninja sword in his hand reflected the cold and bright moonlight, which stung Yiyong's eyes and made a sharp sound towards the latter's neck, which was fatal and sharp.

"Snapped--"

Giyu raised the water blade in time to deflect Shisui's ninja sword, and at the same time kicked him in the knee. Due to his height, this is currently the best place for him to kick.

"Very sharp, Jiyong."

Shisui smiled, but there was murderous intent in his smile.

He immediately took a step back, allowing Giyuu's kick to miss, and threw a kunai towards Giyuu's feet, which he could barely avoid by a hair's breadth.

However, due to landing on one foot and using too much force, Giyuu's body was slightly unbalanced, and Shisui once again found an opportunity to attack.

Facing the crisis, Yiyong became calmer. He increased the input of chakra and used the reaction force generated when the water blade collided with the water under his feet to launch himself high into the air, avoiding Shisui's knife aimed at his waist.

"very nice."

Zhisui did not hesitate to praise him, but then his words changed, "But how are you going to hide in mid-air?"

He crossed his hands in front of his chest like a phantom, and more than twenty shurikens flew towards the inevitable Yiyong. The trajectory was like the petals of the other shore flower, gorgeous and charming, but it seemed to foreshadow inevitable death, waiting for blood to be the last resort. its dyeing.

The Yiyong in the air was unhurried, his black hole-like eyes quickly scanned the murderous intent that was getting closer and closer to him, and he immediately found a way to break the situation.

He found a tricky angle and gently knocked one of them away with his water blade. The latter unexpectedly caused a series of chain reactions. All the shurikens lost their accuracy as they collided with each other and flew around. go.

In a confrontation that lasted less than ten seconds, he had already circumvented the God of Death three times in a row.

Ninjas are indeed better at killing than ghosts.

"Uchiha shurikenjutsu?"

Shisui asked softly, but it was more like he was talking to himself.

[But he did not use the Sharingan, so how could he see the trajectory of more than 20 shurikens? ]

The question in his mind did not affect his movements.

Shisui pulled his hands violently, and the shurikens that had just been shot down flew back as if being pulled, faster than before. Their target was Giyuu who was about to land.

Once he was pulled by such a number of shurikens, no matter how good his body was, he would inevitably be seriously injured.

What was more fatal was that Giyuu's movements would be temporarily restricted by the silk thread, and he could only deal with Shisui's subsequent attacks.

"Second Form: Waterwheel."

Giyuu's figure that was about to fall suddenly stopped, and he turned around in the air with a short hovering posture, and drew a perfect circle with the blade.

This time, Giyuu only used the "waterwheel" in a physical way, but the force was enough to cut off all the silk threads that were being retracted.

Then, he used his foot to pick up a shuriken that fell because of the loss of traction.

After another series of clanging collisions, they had a third life, but this time the target became Shisui.

[Very precise control. ]

Itachi, who was watching the battle from above, did not expect that Giyuu, who always sat aside and watched during training, was so familiar with Uchiha Shurikenjutsu, no worse than when he just opened the two magatama.

Shisui had the same idea.

In addition, he once again confirmed the guess that Giyuu could match the two magatama in dynamic vision with just his naked eyes.

[I can only say that he is worthy of being the only child with deep blue eyes among the Uchiha? ]

Uchiha Shisui naturally dodged the shuriken easily, but Giyuu fought back and chased after these gadgets closely, and the two started a close physical duel again.

The blades in their hands kept colliding, and they were both trying to cut each other's throats. The speed became faster and faster as the fighting lasted, and the way of each attack became more and more deadly. In less than a minute, they had fought hundreds of times, and in the end, even Uchiha Itachi had to open his Sharingan to see clearly.

But the current results show that neither of them can hurt the other.

These two people can rely on their eyesight to predict the attack direction of the other party and make decisions in advance to counterattack or dodge.

[If ordinary jonin only rely on physical skills, they will not be a match for Giyuu. ]

Itachi made such a judgment.

[However, Shisui's strength is far more than that...]

"Bang!"

There was an explosion-like sound.

After a violent collision between the soles of the two people's shoes, they each retreated a distance and stood apart.

Uchiha Itachi noticed that, in comparison, Shisui's body retreated farther, and the amplitude of his shoulder fluctuations was greater than that of Giyuu. His hand holding the knife kept loosening and then re-pinching, and the clamping seemed to relieve the numbness of his arm.

Obviously, such a fierce physical duel is also a rare experience for Shisui. The difference in physical strength between the two determines that if he continues to fight like this, he will inevitably gradually fall behind.

[Giyuu's physical fitness has improved a lot compared to last time. ]

"Your fighting instinct is really excellent, Giyuu."

Shisui nodded with appreciation, "A qualified ninja will try his best to avoid direct fighting before determining the opponent's strength, so he will constantly distract you. Using long-range ninja tools is just the simplest way.

"If a ninja does not want to attract the attention of others and intends to secretly deal with the opponent, he will use the simplest and most effective physical technique to attack like we did before. So Giyuu, if you see a masked ninja carrying a ninja sword like me, you should know that they are the Anbu who are responsible for secretly killing the target. Each of these people is very powerful.

"Once you encounter them in the village and they attack you, you don't have to fight them, just make a noise to attract the attention of the people around you, understand?"

"..."

Giyuu tilted his head, "But aren't you an Anbu?"

When Shisui said this, it was as if he had determined what the Anbu would do to him. Could it be that there are so many dangers in this peaceful village?

"Just like the disagreement between the village and the Uchiha, the Anbu in Konoha are not united. Some Anbu will attack any suspicious person, even if they have no evidence, but suspicion is enough."

After Shisui finished speaking, he added, "Of course, if you hide your power well as Itachi said before, they won't bother to bother you. After all, you are just a child without threat."

When he said this, he gently shook his almost broken ninja sword, and the blade that was originally full of gaps immediately returned to its original state, looking the same as new.

Anyway, in this illusion space, he is omnipotent. It's just restoring weapons, it shouldn't be considered cheating.

"I see."

Giyuu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

After what happened to Uzumaki Naruto, he knew that the Hokage of Konoha was an irresponsible old man who couldn't even take care of the orphans' meals, so it seemed normal for them to have such disputes.

"Okay, since the warm-up is over (since I can't beat you with physical skills alone)..."

Shisui spread his shoulders and took a deep breath of the air of the Valley of the End, and the scene around him changed again.

They came to the sea outside the Water Country, and the statue of Uchiha Madara followed them, and the counter in his eyes began to count down again.

And Uchiha Itachi was sitting on the top of his ancestor's head and looking down silently.

"Giyuu, next, it's time for you to experience what kind of battle you might face if you encounter a ninja in the wild."

Giyuu was slightly stunned.

Because Shisui's voice was not only coming from the mouth of the figure opposite, but also from behind him.

[When...]

A strong wind suddenly hit his back.

"Second Form Waterwheel!"

Giyuu didn't have time to think about it, and his body instinctively completed a big flip on the spot. The jagged ring-shaped water blades spilled from his blade, and while rotating and cutting at high speed, they quickly spread out to the surroundings--

Shisui behind him turned into a puff of smoke the moment he was hit.

This time, in the middle of the sea where the water breathing was extremely efficient, he didn't mean to save chakra at all.

[Shadow clone? 】

Yiyong turned his head sharply and looked at Shisui who was standing opposite him. The circular water blade rolled over him like a wheel, but Shisui didn't seem to want to hide.

Something strange happened--

Shisui, who had all his organs in order in the transparent world a second ago, suddenly turned into an extremely weak chakra phantom.

The water wheel that seemed to tear everything apart rolled over Shisui, but it passed through like a cloud of smoke. And the phantom disappeared immediately.

[Is this an ordinary clone technique? ]

Yiyong was a little confused. He didn't see Shisui make a seal at all. Why did the entity directly become a clone?

Just as the clone disappeared, a sound as fast as the flapping of insect wings came from above his head.

Yiyong raised his head, and Uchiha Shisui, who had jumped into the air at some point, had completed the seal.

He puffed up his red cheeks, and bright orange-red spots were ready to go between his teeth--

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

With a loud bang, the place where Giyuu was was covered by a huge fireball more than five meters wide!

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Itachi unconsciously clenched his fists.

Although the Great Fireball is more used to block vision rather than kill, Giyuu will be seriously injured even if he doesn't die from the high temperature and pressure of the explosion at such a close distance.

The steam rose up with a hissing sound, and Shisui turned over and returned to a distance, showing an expression of "what a pity".

"Wind Style: Fierce Wind Palm!"

He blew out a strong wind from his palm, as if he wanted to see clearly Giyuu's situation and whether he was still alive.

But at this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared under his feet, and then a small hand grabbed his ankle and pulled him into the sea!

It was Giyuu who removed the chakra under his feet under the attack of the Great Fireball Technique and hid in the sea.

"Sixth Form: Twisting Vortex!"

The moment Shisui was dragged into the water, two water tornadoes entangled like pythons formed around him. Shisui, who was attacked by surprise, was like a sea fish swept away by the undercurrent, spinning in it.

However, the next moment, the figure that was so real a second ago disappeared again. Yiyong finally stopped his expressionless indifference and frowned suspiciously.

He surfaced, and Shisui was smiling cunningly not far away.

"The Land of Water is a very suitable place for you to fight, but for me...

"This is also where I got that title and the real power of these eyes."

He opened the three-magatama Sharingan, formed a seal with one hand, and suddenly a dozen figures exactly like him appeared behind him.

"Next..."

He drew out the ninja sword again and placed it in front of his chest, and his left hand gently stroked the tip of the ninja sword, revealing a sweet smile that was easy to talk to.

"Uchiha style, instant body Shisui, please teach me. "
