"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."
Shisui Uchiha opened with the signature ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan, though the difference was that this Great Fireball of his was absurdly large.
"What the hell? Is that really a Great Fireball Technique?"
Uchiha Inabi, standing opposite him, felt an immediate sense of crisis as the scorching fireball, twice the height of a man, flew toward him.
He wanted to dodge, but his colleagues from the Military Police Force were all around him. If he were forced to scramble away at the very start by an eight-year-old Shisui Uchiha, he would have no face left to show in the force.
Thus, Inabi chose the most masculine way to respond.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."
Yet, whether it was the speed of his hand seals or the size of the fireball, Uchiha Inabi was completely outclassed by Shisui.
The moment the two fireballs collided, Uchiha Inabi's was instantly shattered. Shisui Uchiha's Great Fireball continued to fly rapidly toward Inabi.
"No choice, Substitution Technique." With the fireball about to hit him square in the face, Uchiha Inabi stopped caring about his pride and used a Substitution Technique to evade the attack.
However, it was not without cost; his tactical vest was scorched black, forcing him to rip off the ruined garment and toss it aside.
The Substitution Technique was essentially a high-speed movement maneuver, not a space-time ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God, otherwise, it wouldn't have been an E-rank technique that everyone knew.
At this, the scene suddenly erupted into chaos.
"Vice-Captain Inabi is actually on the defensive?"
"What did I just see? Shisui Uchiha actually suppressed Captain Inabi in a direct clash?"
"Little Shisui, big sister will be waiting for you after work."
But Shisui, on the field, did not dare to be the least bit careless; he knew he was about to face Uchiha Inabi's frantic counterattack.
"Earth Style: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique."
Just as Shisui Uchiha was using his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to search for Inabi's presence on the training ground, a hand suddenly reached out from the ground beneath his feet, attempting to drag him entirely into the earth and stone.
However, Shisui Uchiha's movements were not slow in the slightest; the kunai in his hand stabbed rapidly toward that hand, forcing his opponent to interrupt the ninjutsu.
For the vast majority of ninja, no matter how strong their strength, they were still mortal flesh and blood, unable to withstand the attack of sharp weapons.
After breaking free, Shisui leaped away from the spot to prevent Inabi from launching another sneak attack from underground. Unexpectedly, Inabi's next attack came from mid-air.
"Wind Style: Pressure Damage."
This attack came very suddenly. Shisui Uchiha appeared to have no preparation, and after being struck by the high-pressure wind sphere in mid-air, he slammed heavily into the training ground, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.
"Shisui, are you alright?"
Seeing Shisui Uchiha suffer a heavy blow, Uchiha Inabi scolded himself for being too heavy-handed while quickly running toward the spot where Shisui had landed.
"This... is a clone?"
Seeing that the Shisui Uchiha lying on the ground was merely a clone, Inabi felt a sinking sensation in his heart.
"Earth Style: Earth Prison Dome."
As Shisui Uchiha's voice came from the side, a circle of earth walls rapidly rose around Uchiha Inabi, forming a sealed prison before he could react, trapping him inside.
"This technique not only repairs itself, but it can also absorb my chakra?"
Inside the prison, Uchiha Inabi tried to use the katana in his hand to destroy the walls, only to find that they possessed a restorative function, making it impossible to escape in a short time with his current rate of destruction.
Furthermore, Inabi could feel his chakra being continuously absorbed by the prison; although the rate of absorption was slow, it was providing the walls with the chakra needed to recover.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Split."
As Uchiha Inabi injected his chakra into the ground beneath his feet, half of the floor inside the prison split down the middle, and the severed section began to rise, creating a height difference that began to destroy the structure of the prison from within.
"As expected of Senior Inabi, to break my earth prison with just one technique."
Facing Shisui Uchiha's praise, Inabi found it particularly grating. After all, he was over a decade older than Shisui; to be comforted by a junior today was humiliating.
Incensed, Uchiha Inabi could no longer hold back. He charged at Shisui Uchiha with his katana, intending to engage him in taijutsu—which happened to be Shisui's specialty.
"Body Flicker Technique."
The nickname "Body Flicker Shisui" was not earned for nothing. Not only did he easily dodge Inabi's attack using the Body Flicker Technique, but he also took the opportunity to circle behind him.
"Rasengan."
This was the A-rank single-target ninjutsu the system had rewarded Shisui with.
"Bang."
Shisui's attack landed on his opponent, but there was no expression on his face; the feedback from his hand told him that the sensation of the impact was wrong.
Sure enough, the Uchiha Inabi he had struck turned into a mud figure and then collapsed onto the ground.
"Earth Clone?" His scarlet Sharingan looked at the mud at his feet; even with the visual prowess of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he could not see through the difference between the real body and the clone.
Suddenly, Shisui felt a sense of crisis from behind. Uchiha Inabi had appeared behind him when he least expected it.
"You lost."
At this moment, the katana in Uchiha Inabi's hand was already pressed against Shisui's neck. Under such close-range suppression, Inabi did not believe Shisui had any room left to resist.
However, the Shisui before him was not panicked; he even said to Inabi behind him with a slight smile: "Senior, you are the one who lost."
After saying this, Shisui unexpectedly dissipated into a puff of white smoke.
The Multi-Shadow Clone Technique that Shisui had learned from the Scroll of Sealing had come in handy at this very moment.
"Rasengan."
Another Rasengan struck from behind Inabi; this time, he had no chance to dodge, and it looked as though he was about to be hit by Shisui's attack.
If I get hit by that, I will really die.
The sense of crisis honed through years of training told Uchiha Inabi that this single blow from Shisui could take his life, but he no longer had the time to put up any resistance.
However, just as the Rasengan in Shisui's hand was about to strike Uchiha Inabi, Shisui dispersed the ninjutsu, leaving only a shallow, vortex-shaped mark on Uchiha Inabi's back.
"Hiss..."
Regaining his senses, Inabi nearly collapsed to the ground. Cold sweat poured down his back; the feeling of having just brushed shoulders with death shook him to his core.
This scene was also seen clearly by the crowd outside the training ground; Uchiha Inabi had truly been defeated by Shisui.
"Senior Inabi, let's end today's sparring here."
Just as Uchiha Inabi was about to go limp, Shisui Uchiha caught him in time and helped him walk toward the edge of the field.
"Yes... you won. I admit it, these eyes of yours see much further than mine or anyone else's in the Military Police Force."
