Sure enough, not long after Kyosuke's real body had moved, the flock of crows successfully discovered the shadow clone hidden in the trees.
A few minutes later, Uchiha Shisui quietly arrived near the shadow clone.
However, to Kyosuke's disappointnt, he did not, as expected, imdiately launch an attack. Instead, after clearing out the surrounding poisonous snakes, he hid himself again.
For a mont, the situation was at a stalemate.
Just as Kyosuke was considering whether to use the shadow clone to attack first, Uchiha Shisui's figure suddenly appeared from behind a tree.
And at the sa ti he appeared, a massive fireball shot toward the shadow clone's hiding place.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
The massive fireball incinerated all the grass in its path, leaving behind a scorched trail before completely destroying the shadow clone's hiding place.
However, Kyosuke's shadow clone had dodged at the first mont, so it was not destroyed by this move.
Just as Kyosuke was preparing to coordinate with the shadow clone to launch a surprise attack, Shisui's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
"Shisui-Style: Body Flicker Technique."
By the ti Kyosuke detected Shisui's figure again, he had already appeared behind the shadow clone.
At the sa ti, the short sword in his hand was already burning with a raging fla.
"Uchiha-Style: Sword Dance of Flas."
The two figures crossed in mid-air in an instant, and then Kyosuke's shadow clone was eliminated in a single blow.
"A shadow clone?!" Shisui's eyes widened in an instant.
Suddenly, an intense heat ca from behind him.
Startled, Shisui couldn't help but look back. A ferocious fire dragon was rushing toward him.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique."
And Kyosuke's figure slowly erged from behind a tree, his face expressionless as he watched the enemy being consud by the fire dragon.
Just as the battle seed to be over, a cold voice suddenly sounded beside Kyosuke's ear.
"Uchiha-Style: Gale Sword."
A powerful diagonal slash, enveloped in a thick layer of both Wind and Fire-natured chakra, split Kyosuke's entire body in two.
At the sa ti, the aftershock from this slash, after cutting through Kyosuke, continued forward for more than ten ters before finally stopping.
This showed the terrifying power of Shisui's slash.
However, Shisui, who had successfully killed his enemy, did not relax in the slightest. Because the figure that had been split in two was, once again, a shadow clone.
Suddenly, the ground beneath Shisui's feet rippled slightly, and then, a massive shuriken shot out from the earth.
"A trap?!"
Realizing this, Shisui pushed his Sharingan to its absolute limit, finally managing to dodge the massive shuriken by a hair's breadth.
Was everything he did before just to lure here? After landing again, Shisui's vigilance was raised to an even higher level.
From the several exchanges since the start of the battle, it was clear that this enemy, whose real body had not yet appeared, was not an easy opponent to deal with.
Just as Shisui was on full alert, a "crackling" sound suddenly ca from the massive shuriken.
The shuriken has a chanism? Shisui's calm expression, which he had maintained since the start of the battle, finally changed drastically.
Before he could react, the massive shuriken flying in the air exploded.
In an instant, the sky above him was filled with all sorts of projectiles, at least several hundred of them.
And Kyosuke's real body finally appeared.
"Let's see you dodge this," Kyosuke said with a ferocious grin, pulling on the barely visible steel wire in his hand.
Instantly, the projectiles, as if following a certain trajectory, rained down on the grounded Shisui.
At the sa ti, Kyosuke was carefully observing his enemy with his Sharingan, ready to change the angle of the falling projectiles according to his evasive movents.
After setting up for so long, Kyosuke would not let Shisui escape unscathed.
With no ti to form hand seals, Shisui could only forcibly drive his chakra, pushing his speed to a level close to that of the Body Flicker Technique in an instant.
Although this would put a great strain on his body, he couldn't be bothered with that now.
Observe the angle of the falling projectiles with the Sharingan, then evade... I can avoid them! As his mind raced, Shisui began to move wildly, trying to dodge this fatal attack.
But unfortunately, the huge gap between a single-tomoe and a three-tomoe Sharingan made his sowhat naive plan fall through.
No matter how he dodged, all of his movents were anticipated by Kyosuke.
In the end, although Shisui managed to evade most of the projectiles with his absolute speed, his right side was still hit by several shuriken.
Now, not only would his swordsmanship be affected, but even his prized speed would likely be unusable.
And with that, after so much preparation, Kyosuke had finally gained the upper hand.
Seeing Shisui fall to the ground in a battered state, Kyosuke let out a light laugh and dropped the steel wire in his hand.
At the sa ti, he slowly walked toward Shisui's position.
However, this ti, he would not make the sa mistake he had made when fighting Itachi.
Although Kyosuke was walking slowly on the surface, the hand hidden in his sleeve had already begun to quietly form hand seals.
Shisui, struggling to get up from the ground, let out a wry, dawning smile after seeing the three black tomoe in Kyosuke's eyes.
He finally understood why, no matter how he moved, he couldn't dodge the enemy's attacks.
It turned out that this young boy before him had already developed his Sharingan to such a degree.
"I lost fair and square," Shisui muttered to himself.
However, although he said that, the light in his eyes had not diminished in the slightest.
It was clear that he had not yet given up.
Just as Kyosuke's ninjutsu was secretly being prepared, he suddenly found that the chakra in Shisui's body was once again fluctuating violently.
As expected, he's already mastered one-handed seals, Kyosuke thought, calmly watching Shisui's suddenly raised left hand as he unleashed his own ninjutsu.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow River."
With a mad surge of Kyosuke's chakra, a large amount of mud suddenly churned up from the ground in front of him.
Then, the mud, like a tidal wave, rushed toward Shisui.
At the sa ti, Shisui's ninjutsu was also ready.
A fire dragon, a size larger than the one Kyosuke had released before, shot forward with a roar.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique."
