Genius Shisui

"The test begins!"

Seeing Uchiha Shisui step onto the field first, Kurenai Yuhi's Father immediately announced the start of the assessment in a deep voice.

"Is that boy the genius Shisui that the Uchiha Clan has been raving about?"

"He certainly looks like a talent!"

"Even if he is a genius of the Uchiha Clan, isn't it a bit too much to face three genin at once?"

Seeing the genius boy praised by the Uchiha Clan take the field, a considerable commotion broke out among the onlookers.

The Uchiha Clan was the premier family in Konoha and the entire ninja world, a prestigious lineage that had endured from the Warring States period to the present day.

A genius boy from the Uchiha Clan would naturally attract everyone's close attention.

"The younger generation is truly incredible these days; to think he's applying for graduation at such a young age."

Looking at the six-year-old Shisui, a genin with an ordinary appearance spoke up.

"Are you that Uchiha Shisui? I've heard your name quite often in the village over the past few years."

Among the three genin, the one standing in the center wore an expression of admiration; he had heard the name of the genius Shisui quite often in the last two years.

"Hmph, some genius of the Uchiha Clan..."

"He's nothing more than a six-year-old brat!"

The last genin crossed his arms, a look of disdain on his face.

No matter how much of a genius he was, he was still just a six-year-old child. How could he possibly be a match for elite genin who had been on the battlefield, let alone three of them at once?

"Three seniors, please forgive me."

Faced with the varying attitudes of the three genin, Shisui stood on the training ground unmoved, politely holding two fingers of one hand upright in front of him.

The Seal of Confrontation—this was the etiquette performed before a training match between ninjas; after the battle, both sides would perform the Seal of Reconciliation to symbolize that they were comrades.

"Hmph, at least he's a polite brat..."

Seeing Shisui's humble and polite demeanor, the genin standing in front softened his expression slightly.

He then held two fingers of one hand upright as well, forming the Seal of Confrontation.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!"

But the moment the genin finished forming the seal, several sharp, piercing sounds cut through the air.

More than a dozen shuriken were already spinning rapidly in the air, flying toward the three of them from every angle—above, below, left, and right.

So fast!!

Seeing Shisui's incredibly sharp shuriken technique, the three genin were startled, instantly discarding any thoughts of underestimating him.

"Scatter!!"

Faced with Shisui's airtight shuriken attack, the genin in the center gave a sharp command, and the three of them decisively scattered.

"Too late..."

Watching the three genin scatter, a sharp glint flashed in Shisui's black eyes. "I'll take one out first."

"Clang! Clang!"

Accompanied by two crisp metallic collisions, and to the disbelief of the genin in the center, the two kunai Shisui had thrown—which had arrived after the shuriken—struck the spinning projectiles with pinpoint accuracy.

The two shuriken, their flight paths instantly altered, struck the genin's body from an impossible angle!

"Ito!!"

Having just dodged to the side, the remaining two genin saw one of their own fall and cried out in shock.

"Wow!!!"

"How is this possible!!"

After a moment of suffocating silence, a deafening roar erupted from the surrounding crowd.

A six-year-old boy facing three genin—it was a question of whether he could even last five minutes.

Yet, less than five seconds into the live combat survival test, an experienced genin had already fallen.

Witnessing this incredible scene on the training ground, everyone present was stunned.

"What an amazing shuriken technique!!"

"He actually took out a genin just like that..."

"He truly lives up to the reputation of a genius from the elite Uchiha Clan!!"

A chunin in the crowd couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

Even he had to admit that he wouldn't have been able to execute such a precise shuriken technique as Shisui just had.

"Hmph, these idiots..."

"They all underestimate Shisui's ability far too much."

Just as everyone was shocked by Shisui's astonishing strength, Yu, who stood watching from the sidelines, wore an expression of disapproval.

Graduating from the Ninja Academy at seven as the top student, awakening the Sharingan at eight, becoming a Chunin at ten, and becoming an Anbu squad leader at thirteen before wiping out his own clan—he even defeated one of the legendary Sannin, Orochimaru, and severed his arm while still in his youth.

That's right, those monstrous statistics above were the career record of the "God Itachi," Uchiha Itachi, from the original story.

However, everyone might overlook the most terrifying point—that Uchiha Shisui, as Uchiha Itachi's mentor and best friend, had created records even more monstrous than Itachi's during that era of war.

In the original story, before Itachi had even come into his own, the young Uchiha Shisui was already known as the "Strongest of the Uchiha" and was the backbone of the Uchiha Clan.

When "God Itachi" was still a Genin, Shisui, being a few years older, was already a Jonin, and later even became the captain of the Konoha Anbu—note, the captain, not just a squad leader.

Setting aside the Uchiha Clan's highest-level genjutsu eye, Kotoamatsukami, and his world-renowned Body Flicker Technique, there was more.

When Orochimaru saw eleven-year-old Itachi practicing, he believed Itachi's shurikenjutsu had reached a realm difficult for ordinary ninjas to attain.

As the mentor and best friend who guided Itachi's shuriken practice, one could easily imagine that Shisui's shurikenjutsu was absolutely not inferior to Itachi's.

Therefore, without exaggeration or bias, seeing Shisui display such astonishing strength on the training ground before him, Yu, as a transmigrator, was the only person present who felt no surprise.

"Damn Uchiha brat!!"

Seeing Shisui take out their companion in an instant, the two remaining Genin on the training ground no longer dared to be the slightest bit careless.

One of the Genin took advantage of his companion's cover to quickly circle behind Shisui, shouting loudly as he thrust his sharp kunai directly toward Shisui's back.

"Watch out!!"

The surrounding crowd felt their hearts tighten; it seemed that none of those present wanted to see the Uchiha Clan's genius boy fall just like that.

"Poof!!"

But just as the sharp kunai struck Shisui's back, the Genin's expression changed drastically. The Shisui in front of him had turned into a puff of white smoke and vanished.

"A Clone Technique?!"

"How is that possible? When did he weave the signs..."

Just as the Genin was reeling in shock, a pitch-black kunai was already pressed against his throat.

"Just now, when your companion was providing you with cover..."

"He also created the perfect opportunity for me to weave my signs."

As a calm voice rang out, Shisui's figure appeared standing directly behind the Genin.
