From an outsider's perspective, the Hidden Mist jonin suddenly froze in a daze. Miyashita Yuki, whom he had been holding hostage, immediately seized the chance to break free from his control.
The next moment, shuriken tore through the air.
Whoosh, whoosh!!
Several flame-wreathed shuriken engulfed the Hidden Mist jonin, piercing through his body.
With that, all three Hidden Mist jonin had been wiped out.
The remaining Hidden Mist ninja wore horrified expressions, all fighting spirit gone from their hearts.
Before the battle began, not a single Hidden Mist ninja had expected it to end this way.
They had three jonin and nine chūnin and genin, already enough to count as an elite squad.
Their opponents were merely an ordinary Konoha squad along with one genius ninja.
By all rights, they should never have been the ones to lose. Yet they had lost—and lost disastrously, with all three jonin killed.
In truth, not only the Hidden Mist ninja were shocked. Even Shisui's teammates were stunned.
"So this is what a true genius is like..." Takagi Shinji let out a breath, a delighted smile appearing on his face.
He had already prepared himself to die, never expecting that Shisui had still been holding back. His strength was even greater than Takagi Shinji had imagined.
"If even Shisui is this strong, then just how strong must the legendary Might Guy, who's said to be even stronger than Shisui, be?"
Takagi Shinji estimated that all the Hidden Mist ninja here combined might not be enough for Might Guy alone.
"You were really cool today." Uesugi Tetsu had been completely won over by Shisui.
Judging by Shisui's current performance, when they had sparred before, Shisui had not merely gone easy on him—he had practically let him off completely. Otherwise, Shisui would have instantly defeated him.
