"Shisui, no fooling around. Let me spar with old man Setsuna."
As Setsuna Uchiha's old rival, Tenwa Uchiha knew the other party's background well.
Although Shisui was a once-in-a-century genius of the Uchiha clan, he was slightly lacking in combat experience and technique.
Tenwa Uchiha did not want his excellent junior to get injured by Setsuna Uchiha.
However, Shisui was unmoved and remained in place, watching Setsuna Uchiha.
"Elder Tenwa, don't worry. I will show Elder Setsuna how far these eyes can see."
A punch thrown now prevents a hundred later. Today, Shisui wanted to establish his authority within the Uchiha clan and clear the obstacles for his future actions.
"You... alright. Let's take this opportunity to learn some of his nasty tricks from old man Setsuna. But remember not to push yourself. If things go wrong, protect yourself first." Tenwa Uchiha looked at Shisui's determined expression and did not refuse the talented junior any further.
In the end, Tenwa Uchiha agreed to Shisui's request, but he was already fully prepared. Once the situation on the field turned unfavorable for Shisui, he would intervene and stop Setsuna Uchiha.
"Kid who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, let me show you the true strength of our Uchiha." Feeling his authority challenged, Setsuna Uchiha prepared to teach this brat a lesson.
"Elder Setsuna, you, you be careful..." Fugaku Uchiha, who had intended to advise Setsuna Uchiha to protect himself, stopped himself from publicly embarrassing Setsuna Uchiha.
As a wielder of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Fugaku Uchiha knew better than anyone how insignificant a Three-Tomoe Sharingan was before those eyes.
"Don't worry, our Uchiha clan isn't that fragile. Without enduring storms, how can we bear the responsibility of being Uchiha?" Setsuna Uchiha was ready to make this arrogant brat suffer.
Once the two combatants were decided, the surrounding elders distanced themselves from them.
"Brother Shisui, go for it!" Itachi also stood beside his mother, Mikoto Uchiha, cheering for Shisui.
"Shisui Uchiha, is it? I'll let you make the first move, so you can't say I'm bullying a kid like you." Setsuna Uchiha stood dismissively, waiting for Shisui to attack first.
"Alright, Elder Setsuna."
Since that was the case, Shisui naturally wouldn't be polite. Today, he would completely defeat the leader of the Hawk Faction, but he didn't intend to use his Mangekyō abilities.
"Sharingan, activate." Three black tomoe appeared in Shisui's eyes, and he immediately began forming hand seals.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson."
"Wind Style: Vacuum Wave." (Copied from Danzō Shimura)
In one second, he completed over a dozen hand seals for two ninjutsu. Shisui's opening move shocked the entire audience.
"What?!"
Looking at the numerous fire-wrapped shuriken flying towards him, and the wind blades whose movements were too fast to track, the most surprised was Setsuna Uchiha, Shisui's opponent. He had initially regarded Shisui as just another Three-Tomoe clan member, but he hadn't expected his opening move to pose such a great threat.
"Sharingan, activate."
Without daring to be careless, Setsuna Uchiha instantly activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and did his best to track Shisui's ninjutsu trajectory.
"Damn it, too late." Setsuna Uchiha could already feel the heat of the flames and the sharpness of the wind blades. There was no time for him to think further.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation." In desperation, Setsuna Uchiha used a large-scale fire style ninjutsu. A vast expanse of flames, like seawater, spewed from his mouth, colliding head-on with Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson and Vacuum Wave.
As an established power of the Uchiha clan, Setsuna's strength was beyond doubt.
The vast sea of fire instantly engulfed Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson. The shuriken within the flames could not advance any further, and were swept back by the sea of fire.
But Shisui's attack was not so easily blocked. An invisible wind blade eventually cut through the sea of fire, continuing towards Setsuna with undiminished force.
"He hit?" Seeing Setsuna standing still and unable to dodge, the surrounding elders held their breath for him.
"Bang." As the wind blade cut Setsuna Uchiha in half, his body dissolved into a puff of smoke and disappeared into the air.
"That was close, a shadow clone." The other Hawk Faction elders watching from the side breathed a sigh of relief. If Setsuna Uchiha were defeated by an eight-year-old Shisui, they would never be able to hold their heads up in front of the Dove Faction again.
"Did he dodge upwards?" Setsuna's movements did not escape Shisui's eyes. He looked up and locked onto Setsuna, who had leaped into the air.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Destruction." Setsuna's counterattack was faster than expected. Even with a brief pause in mid-air, he completed the hand seals for a B-rank ninjutsu, and then a giant fireball like a falling meteor smashed down towards Shisui on the ground.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall." Under Shisui's control, an earth wall extended from the ground into the air, forming a thick barrier above Shisui's head.
"Boom..." A violent explosion sounded. Great Fire Destruction slammed into the earth wall, and the fireball instantly spread outwards, forming a sea of fire in mid-air that continued to rain down on Shisui from above.
"As expected, my current mastery of Earth Style is mediocre." Shisui muttered to himself, seeing that his defensive ninjutsu could not withstand Setsuna's attack.
"Earth Style: Earth Prison Dome." A second earth wall rose from around Shisui and converged overhead, blocking the aftermath of the Great Fire Destruction attack.
"Trapped yourself in a turtle shell, kid? You're finished." Setsuna Uchiha, who had just landed, immediately found a way to deal with Shisui. He formed hand seals again, releasing a large amount of chakra.
"Earth Style: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling."
As Setsuna Uchiha raised a large chunk of earth and stone with his hands, everyone watching understood his intention.
"Boom boom boom rumble..."
When the giant earth and stone smashed onto the Earth Prison Dome, the once sturdy walls of the dome instantly collapsed under the immense impact. The entire dome was smashed into rubble, and everything within was crushed under the Earth Mausoleum Dumpling.
Seeing this, Mikoto Uchiha's heart pounded. She quickly tugged at her husband, urging him to quickly rescue Shisui from the rubble.
"Shisui! Fugaku, hurry and save Shisui."
Seeing her husband unmoved, she even began to blame Fugaku, saying, "Hurry up! As the clan head, can't you even protect Shisui!"
Facing his wife's complaints, Fugaku Uchiha could only offer a wry smile. Just as he was about to explain, Itachi tugged at Mikoto's arm and comforted her, "Brother Shisui will be fine. Mother, please don't worry."
Having witnessed Shisui's abilities, Itachi never considered the possibility of him losing to Setsuna Uchiha.
At this moment, Mikoto Uchiha also slowly came to her senses.
"Shisui is fine?"
Only after seeing her husband's affirmative gaze did she finally relax completely.
