The Battle of the Body Flicker

The audience was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

The examiner slowly walked out and began his explanation.

"Just now, in order to replace Kurenai and Violet, the Hokage-sama used his Shadow Clone, disguised as Monkey Leap, to participate in the battle, but unexpectedly, he was still defeated by his disciple Shiyu!"

"Shiyu! You're really strong!"

"They actually defeated the Hokage-sama's Shadow Clone!"

"Their future is limitless!"

The shouts and screams of the audience were deafening.

Shiyu's popularity reached its peak at this moment. Not only among the younger generation of Konoha, but throughout the entire Shinobi World, there was probably no one else who could defeat the Hokage's Shadow Clone at the age of five.

"Monkey Leap? Sarutobi? They're all the same thing after all."

Shiyu smiled slightly and glanced at the Third Hokage in the stands.

The examiner walked over and asked, "Shiyu? Do you need a break? The finals are coming up, you can rest for ten minutes."

Shiyu shook her head and said confidently, "I don't need to rest. I'm going to be the final winner in one go!"

Although Shiyu clashed fiercely with the Third Hokage's Shadow Clone, the chakra he consumed was only a drop in the ocean.

"Since that's the case..."

The examiner then loudly announced, "Shiyu has chosen not to rest! So let's move on to Katsuhira Yoshida!"

Then, Katsuhira Yoshida slowly walked out of the waiting room.

"I hereby declare! The final battle of this Chunin Exams! Katsuhira Yoshida versus Uchiha Shigure! Officially begins!" The proctor swung his arm down, and the fierce battle commenced.

"Bass!"

"Bass!"

"Bass!"

That was the sound of a shuriken being shot through the air!

As soon as the battle began, both sides deliberately kept their distance and quickly threw out countless shurikens.

"Ping-ping!" The shuriken clashed with each other, sparking a lot of sparks. Both sides actually had extremely high shuriken throwing skills.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Shiyu simultaneously unleashing a Ninjutsu technique, sending countless shuriken flying towards Katsuhira.

Katsuhira drew his kodachi and, with incredible speed, knocked all the shuriken to the ground.

"Excellent swordsmanship!" Shiyu drew his own Dragon Fang Blade.

Their eyes met, and they both felt the sharpness in each other's gazes.

"Bass!"

"Body Flicker Technique!"

"Body Flicker Technique!"

Both of them used the Body Flicker Technique, and Katsuhira raised his kodachi and attacked Shiyu.

With Shiyu's White Rinnegan activated, Katsuhira's every move was completely predicted.

Furthermore, given that Shiyu's Body Flicker Technique was superior to Katsuhira's, a look of shock and seriousness appeared on Katsuhira's face.

"As expected of Shiyu! Even I felt an immense pressure! In terms of strength, you are at least an elite Jonin!" Katsuhira praised while defending against Shiyu's attacks.

"You're pretty good too! If you don't have any other moves, you'll probably lose! Are you going to keep pretending to be Katsuhira Yoshida, or are you going to show your true colors?" Shiyu said as she swung her Dragon Fang Blade.

Katsuhira immediately raised his kodachi horizontally to block it.

"Bang!"

Katsuhira was drenched in sweat, instantly feeling immense pressure.

"What a sharp dagger! And incredibly powerful!" Katsuhira, having used a dagger himself, knew its quality and, more importantly, knew Shiyu's strength.

"However, you don't seem to know how to use a knife! In that case, I can at least last a few dozen more rounds!" Katsuhira was also fearless, as his swordsmanship was extremely proficient.

"Whirlwind Sword!" Katsuhira used the Body Flicker Technique again, but this time he incorporated wind attribute into the Body Flicker Technique. He used the wind attribute to Shiyu Body Flicker Technique, and then raised the blazing katana in his hand to slash at Shiyu.

"Whoosh!" Shiyu's smile vanished once more.

"Sword Leap Flame!" Katsuhira once again used his Nintaijutsu to strike ahead of Shiyu's likely location.

However, Shiyu did not appear around Katsuhira.

"The Katsuhira I know won't just keep using Nintaijutsu! Let's have a Ninjutsu duel!" A voice rang out, Shiyu Teleportation into the air. At the same time, four of Shiyu's Shadow Clone had already surrounded Katsuhira Yoshida.

In mid-air, Shiyu and his Shadow Clone completed the hand seals at an incredible speed, almost invisible to the naked eye.

"Five Elements: Great Combo Bullet Technique!" Then, the five Shiyu members simultaneously unleashed a barrage of bullets of the five elements—water, fire, earth, lightning, and wind—at Katsuhira Yoshida.

"This is!?" Hizashi was also taken aback.

"Hiruzen!? Isn't that your Compound Ninjutsu?!" Koharu was also shocked in the blink of an eye.

"This kid actually learned all five Compound Ninjutsu on his own. He's not just a genius anymore, he's an unparalleled genius!!" The Third Hokage swallowed hard. He remembered when he was a child, he had shown off the five elemental techniques and was praised by the Second as a gifted individual, but compared to Shiyu in front of him, he was simply pathetic!

"Oh no!" Katsuhira was also taken aback. He couldn't care less about maintaining the Transformation Technique anymore. His body changed instantly, and his eyes turned into scarlet Three Tomoe.

The audience was also shocked. The Five Element Ninjutsu hitting the so-called "Katsuhira" was definitely a dead end!

The arena was filled with smoke and dust, and the place had been reduced to ruins by Shiyu's Ninjutsu. There was hardly a spot on the ground that was intact; most of it was full of potholes. In short, it was a terrible sight.

Just when everyone thought that Katsuhira would be eliminated, a figure suddenly leaped into the air.

It appears that he used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge during a gap in the Ninjutsu.

However, Katsuhira's appearance has also changed. He has a very distinctive "bun nose", wears a short-sleeved shirt similar to those worn by the Anbu, and pants of the same color, with leggings.

He had the Uchiha Clan Crest clearly visible on the back of his clothes and carried a small dachi on his back.

What's most dazzling is his Sharingan with its Three Tomoe.

"It seems he was exposed after all, Hiruzen," Mitokado Homura said with some regret.

"There's no other way. I'll have to explain it to everyone properly after the match." Hiruzen shook his head with a smile.

"We're both from the Uchiha Clan, I wonder what the final outcome will be," said Utatane Koharu. "I just don't know if doing this goes against the Second's wishes."

Hiruzen didn't answer, remaining silent for a moment before saying, "That depends on what kind of Uchiha they are."

Gasps of surprise erupted from the audience.

"Uchiha Shisui? I knew it was you!" Shiyu said with a smile, looking at his "little cousin".

"Do you know me, Shiyu?" Shisui was also taken aback.

"Isn't it normal for two Konoha Uchiha geniuses to know each other?" Shiyu also raised the corners of his mouth.

"You're really cheerful." Shisui smiled as well.

"Likewise! Now that you're no longer bound, can you fight me with all your might?" Shiyu asked expectantly.
