Nawaki, emerging from underground, repeated, "Uchiha Shin, I told you I've gotten stronger!"
Shin landed, dusting off the dirt from the attack on his trench coat, his expression calm as he said, "You still have a long way to go."
Nawaki's apparent defeat from the knee strike was a ruse; he had quickly activated the Substitution Technique in mid-air.
Then, using Earth Style to move stealthily underground, he launched this "silent" attack.
Despite Shin's calm demeanor, he had been slightly shaken.
Even now, he hadn't activated the Sharingan.
"Damn it..." Nawaki cursed inwardly, beginning to analyze the situation.
The speed at which his opponent moved made him difficult to track with the naked eye, making close combat disadvantageous.
He decided to engage in Ninjutsu: "Water Style: Water Bullet Barrage!"
Shin wasn't surprised that Nawaki could use the Second Hokage's unique Water Style.
Besides, this Water Bullet Barrage was only three or four projectiles, hardly a barrage.
He chose to use Fire Style to counter the Water Style.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Sizzle..."
The collision of the Great Fireball Technique and Water Bullet Barrage created a loud sound.
In less than a second, the Water Bullet Barrage was consumed by the Great Fireball Technique, and a mist filled the air.
Shin retreated to the side after releasing the Ninjutsu.
Unwilling to use the Sharingan, he wouldn't fight in an environment unfavorable to him.
"This time it's from above..."
Nawaki's right fist was aimed at him from above.
He raised his hand, creating an Earth Style rock shell to block.
"Nawaki-sama's Super Strength Fist!"
Shin's eye twitched slightly at the ridiculous name of the technique.
Then, a powerful force came from his arm.
"Uchiha Shin! This duel is my victory!"
Nawaki unleashed all the chakra in his fist as it collided.
This was a super strength capable of shattering rocks with a casual blow.
Moreover, he was now using all of his chakra.
"Boom..."
With a deafening roar, the rock shell on Shin's arm shattered.
The impact, even with the cells' Earth Style resistance, caused an unusual amount of pain.
"It's not over yet!" Nawaki shouted, retracting his right fist and charging up for another punch.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Shin gritted his teeth as he was struck three times in a row.
He raised his other hand, tightly gripping Nawaki's fist.
"That really hurts."
Nawaki felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared at by those scarlet eyes.
He was prepared for this familiar sensation.
"Release!"
After dispelling the Illusion Arts, Nawaki saw that his opponent had used his right hand to complete the hand seals for a Ninjutsu.
Nao's lips twitched slightly at the familiar scene.
She had faced the same technique before.
But later... well, she couldn't break it for the time being.
"Fire Style: Multiple Great Fireball Technique!"
Several miniature Great Fireball Techniques erupted from Shin's mouth.
Before they could expand, they all struck Nawaki point-blank.
"It's not over yet..."
Shin opened his mouth, wanting to repeat the attack.
However, this time, Nawaki raised his left arm, blocking all the fireballs.
"Uchiha Shin, I won't give up!"
The other party's right hand was forcefully broken free.
Shin hadn't expected the other person to be so tough, blocking the close-range Fire Release techniques twice and still enduring the pain to break free from his restraints.
However, his Sharingan was already activated, and there was no way he would hold back.
After quickly retreating and forming hand seals, several bolts of lightning appeared in his left palm, accompanied by the sound of birds chirping.
"Chidori!"
"Nawaki's Super Strength Fist!"
"Boom..."
After a loud crash, cracks appeared in the ground where the two were standing.
They were both sent flying backwards by the impact.
Shin converted his chakra to Wind Release in mid-air, then landed steadily on the ground.
He felt a tingling sensation in his left hand, which wasn't from the Chidori.
On the other side, Nawaki knelt on the ground not far away.
He could feel the lightning from the Chidori clinging to his right hand, constantly eroding his body.
"My left hand can't move after blocking the Fire Release techniques, and my right hand is numb and useless..."
"Did I still lose this time..."
In the end, he chose to continue fighting.
"Chidori can only penetrate the surface cells..." Shin shook his left hand.
"Losing to a Senju is impossible..."
Shin's chakra transformed into Lightning Release, and under Nawaki's astonished gaze, his entire figure turned into a flash of white lightning and disappeared.
"Uchiha Taijutsu Style: Gale Combo!"
A thunderous voice came from Nawaki's ear.
Just as he was about to prepare himself, he was sent flying into the air.
Reflected in his pupils was only the fleeting white lightning.
Each time it flashed, he could feel a current of electricity raging continuously in the parts of his body that were hit.
"This... is this an improvement based on the Gentle Fist?" Nao, who was watching the battle from the side, was frightened by Shin's continuous attacks.
Although Gale Combo has "Gale" in its name, it is released using Lightning Chakra Mode.
As the name suggests, it involves knocking the enemy into the air and then attacking them rapidly.
Given the paralyzing effect of Lightning Release, it has something in common with the Hyuga Clan's Eight Trigrams Palm Technique.
However, since he doesn't have the Byakugan, he can only attack the meridians.
In less than 10 seconds, Shin had attacked Nawaki dozens of times.
His ability to withstand punishment reminded him of the cause of his death.
How many explosive tags would it take to kill a physically strong Senju?
Case solved, the culprit is the rich lady Konan!
Ahem...
Shin, who threw the last punch, completed the electroshock therapy on Nawaki.
He landed steadily on the ground, very satisfied with the effect.
These sixty-four attacks only looked fierce.
In fact, the force used was just at the critical point that the other party could withstand.
With a "thud," Nawaki fell to the ground.
"Let's go, Nao, let's go to school."
"Ah? Oh."
Nao was defeated by Shin's nonchalant appearance.
Is it really okay for the young master of the Senju family to just lie on the ground like that?
"Let's go quickly, such a big commotion will attract people soon."
Nao, whose little hand was being held, had a red face.
She didn't resist and just let Shin pull her towards the Ninja Academy.
Five minutes later.
"???" Meitoku, who had rushed over quickly after hearing the commotion, stared blankly at the figure lying on the ground.
Nawaki, whose clothes were torn and tattered and whose body was twitching from time to time, looked as if he had been electrocuted.
He was sleeping peacefully.
"What exactly happened here?" The Third Hokage led a group of ANBU members and "quickly" arrived at the scene.
Meitoku looked at the scene in front of him, feeling lost in the wind.
He opened his mouth several times to say "It's none of my business," but he couldn't get the words out completely.
