The Uchiha Clan's greatest young genius had lost!
A person's name carried weight, and Body Flicker Shisui had earned his reputation on the battlefield, fighting for real. He was an opponent ordinary ninja could never hope to defeat.
And now, in front of everyone, he'd been beaten by someone using genjutsu!
