Kawaii's body suddenly erupted with lightning. Empowered by Lightning Release chakra, his speed increased severalfold as he charged at Shisui at a pace too fast for the naked eye to perceive.
At the same time, explosive blue arcs of electricity flashed across Shisui's body. Sparks tore through the air, producing waves of crackling electrical noise.
"Bzzzzzz..."
"Is that... the Lightning Release Chakra Mode?"
Kawaii stared at the enemy he was about to attack in astonishment. He saw that Shisui had actually dismissed the Susanoo around his body—the defensive shield that had withstood two of Kawaii's full-force attacks. Then, a Lightning Release Chakra Mode identical to that of A, the Fourth Raikage, appeared over Shisui's body.

Having lost his target, Kawaii could only halt his attack and remain where he was.
"He actually burst out with speed equal to mine. Which side is he on?" Kawaii anxiously looked around, trying to locate Shisui. But he did not possess the Sharingan, and his dynamic vision was far inferior to Shisui's.

If the attack landed cleanly, even with Kawaii's current physical condition, he would likely be
