Jiraiya was rather surprised as he watched Shisui wait for Hyuga Kagami's orders.

Sasuke was clearly in danger. He did not understand why Shisui was not rushing to rescue him, instead eagerly waiting for Hyuga Kagami's command. Under normal circumstances, that would have made sense—after all, Hyuga Kagami was the principal of the Ninja Academy—but with the situation so urgent, Shisui should not have needed to adhere so rigidly to the principal's orders.

Clearly, Jiraiya was not the only one to notice this oddity.

Tsunade, standing beside Jiraiya, also keenly noticed that it was not just Shisui. Even Itachi, Sasuke's older brother standing nearby, was looking toward Hyuga Kagami. Like Shisui, he seemed to be waiting for Hyuga Kagami's orders.

At that moment, everyone's eyes naturally fell upon Hyuga Kagami, only to find that he did not look particularly anxious. His expression was as calm as if he were merely taking in the scenery.

Feeling everyone's gaze on him, Hyuga Kagami smiled. "That should be enough. Shisui, make your move!"

Whoosh...

The instant Hyuga Kagami gave the order, Shisui flickered and vanished from where he stood.

Boom...

Almost at the same time, a massive emerald-green Susanoo appeared amid the sea of flames, one hand bracing against Gamabunta while the other seized Garaga by the throat!

Garaga, caught in Shisui's Susanoo's grip, roared furiously, "Damn it! How dare you interfere with my battle!"

After roaring, he swung his tail.

Whoosh, whoosh...

Garaga's thick tail lashed out like a long whip, stirring up flames that filled the sky as it swept savagely toward Shisui's Susanoo!

Inside the Susanoo, Shisui's eyes sharpened, and the Mangekyō Sharingan in his sockets immediately began to spin.

Garaga, who was staring directly into Shisui's eyes,
