"The power really wasn't bad, and it worked even better when paired with a sneak attack."
Flying in the sky, Habara quietly watched the scene below. He could not help but sigh, though his sigh sounded more like teasing.
Since he already knew about Toroi's Bloodline Ability, he naturally paid extremely close attention to the man's every move.
Before Toroi had controlled the kunai to circle behind him and launch a sneak attack, Habara had already sensed the faint Chakra fluctuation on him.
So the instant the Chakra fluctuations inside Toroi's body began to grow stronger, Habara had already used the Substitution Technique.
However, his movements had still been just a little slow. Toroi's kunai had grazed his shoulder.
But that had not actually injured him. Instead, it allowed him to play Toroi in circles just like now.
Because after he used the Substitution Technique to switch positions, he noticed that some special, obscure Chakra had been left on his body!
Ninja did not do meaningless things. Clearly, Toroi had left that Chakra behind for a definite purpose.
"It's probably to track my position, then use the traits of Magnet Release to attack me."
Habara had guessed at the time what Toroi was probably thinking.
So the moment he hid himself with the Substitution Technique, he decisively took off the jacket that had been stained with Toroi's Chakra.
Then he created a Shadow Clone and handed his jacket to it, while he himself used the Sky Dance Technique to secretly observe all of this from midair.
He was not flying all that high, and he hid himself behind a house, so he did not need to worry about being seen.
Of course, even if he was seen, it would not be a big deal. Habara had never felt that the Sky Dance Technique was some technique that could not be exposed.
Flying Ninjutsu was indeed extremely rare in the Shinobi World, but it was not nonexistent. Besides, the Sky Ninja had appeared years ago.
So although Habara's technique was unusual, using it was definitely not too great a problem.
Moreover, his goal was to become the family's Clan Head, and he even had greater ambitions than that. In that case, showing that he possessed sufficient ability and strength was also very necessary.
His gaze shifted slightly, and he soon discovered that the battle on Shisui's side was already nearing its end.
He had to admit that Shisui's individual strength was truly formidable, especially in terms of speed, where he was so fast it could suffocate people.
His Body Flicker Technique was extremely strange. Even Habara, who possessed the Sharingan, had to concentrate intensely to tell clearly at exactly which instant, among the afterimages created by his Body Flicker Technique, was his main body.
Being able to use the Body Flicker Technique to achieve an effect similar to Shadow Clones, while making it both real and fake, even stranger than Shadow Clones, counted as Shisui's unique ability.
Under his overwhelming speed, these Cloud Ninja, who were also skilled in speed, had no way to fend him off. One Cloud Ninja had already been killed by him, and another Cloud Ninja had already been injured by him.
In truth, these Cloud Ninja were definitely not weak. Even if they were not Anbu, anyone who could take part in a mission to hunt down a rogue ninja would not be weak no matter how one looked at it.
It was just that they had run into Uchiha who countered them far too much. The Taijutsu and speed they took pride in really seemed somewhat inadequate before the Sharingan.
"But I need to speed things up too. The troublesome part about Toroi is Magnet Release, but he doesn't have my intel, so..."
Habara narrowed his eyes slightly, while below, Habara's Shadow Clone had already been forced by Toroi's shuriken until it almost had nowhere left to escape. However, Toroi had remained vigilant the entire time.
He did not move too far forward, because he was unwilling to face Habara's pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan.
Standing in the distance, he controlled the shuriken to attack while also constantly sensing, ever so slightly, the Chakra he had left on this Uchiha ninja.
After confirming it several times, he could not help but nod inwardly. His Chakra still remained on this kid, so there should be no problem.
Even so, he still had to be careful. Once a ninja grew careless, death would not be far away.
He waved both hands, and two Diamond Shuriken came into his hands.
The rest of the shuriken swiftly stabbed toward Habara like magnets.
Habara's figure was extremely agile. Faced with such a dense barrage, he also relied on his Sharingan to keep dodging, knock down those shuriken, and continuously close in on Toroi's position.
Only, Habara simply could not get close. Every time he drew even slightly nearer, he had no choice but to quickly retreat again.
"Tch, I thought this Uchiha Habara was supposed to be something special. Looks like he's nothing more than this."
Seeing Habara in such a wretched state, Toroi thought to himself.
"But considering his age, and the fact that I've dealt with Uchiha ninja before, his performance is already decisive and outstanding."
When facing an unfamiliar ability, knowing only that the opponent was skilled in Magnet Release, he had resolutely abandoned weapons that could be attracted by magnetism.
Being able to do that really was not something an ordinary ninja could compare to.
But without knowing the enemy's intel, this kid was already doomed to fail!
Chakra suddenly poured into the two shuriken, and in the blink of an eye, the two shuriken became slender like blades.
Then Toroi swung fiercely, slashing toward Habara.
That special Chakra attraction could almost guarantee that his blade would strike Habara with absolute precision.
"Too bad you don't seem to have much intel on me. In that case, I'll send you on your way!"
Magnet Release: Hornet Twin Blades!
The sharp blades slashed straight toward Habara's body, and at that very moment, Toroi suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Because the Uchiha in front of him suddenly acted utterly fearless of death. He charged straight at him, as if he did not take the power of this technique seriously at all.
This situation instantly gave him a bad feeling, but right then, he simply could not worry about that much. He brought the blade down heavily!
"Boom!"
White smoke billowed wildly, and Habara's figure had already vanished, leaving only a damaged piece of clothing to fall to the ground.
Toroi's expression changed slightly. Had this kid figured out the nature of his technique?
Toroi had no time to think. A figure suddenly dropped from the sky, moving so fast that he had no chance to react.
And that figure did not hesitate in the slightest, throwing a punch straight at Toroi's head.
Bang!
With a sharp crack, Toroi felt as if his teeth were about to shatter. But he was an outstanding Cloud Ninja, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with his physical fitness.
That punch had caused him some trouble, even made him feel dizzy, but it was far from fatal.
However, the next moment, his face turned deathly pale. A pair of scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan suddenly appeared in front of him, and in an instant, their gazes locked.
An eerie chakra had already passed through those Sharingan and into his eyes, then spread into his mind.
At this moment, his mind went completely blank, leaving only those scarlet Three Tomoe.
And the instant Toroi fell into the genjutsu, Habara quickly formed hand seals with both hands, then spat out a blazing fireball.
"Ah!"
The fireball instantly set Toroi ablaze, and the intense pain also tore him free from the genjutsu, but it was already too late!
As far as Habara was concerned, since they had already become enemies, he would never show mercy.
"And since it was because of Impure World Reincarnation that you made me remember you, I'll make sure you don't even get the chance to be reincarnated that way!"
