When Shamu brought Sasuke to Training Ground Three, Yoya and Shisui were already waiting there.
Yoya was slowly wiping down the Kusanagi Blade in his hand. It seemed he really liked the weapon Shamu had given him.
Shisui wore a smile as he chatted amiably with the clansmen beside him.
"Hello, Clan Head!"
Quite a few clansmen were gathered around as well, and they all greeted Shamu when they saw him arrive.

Sasuke coolly replied, "Shisui, let me see your true strength."
Shisui softly answered, "All right!"

Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan was reflected on the surface of Sasuke's blade.
Sasuke pulled back his sword and threw the Kunai in his other hand.
