Bloodline Limit

Flash Slice—a taijutsu technique Shisui created, similar to the Konoha Style: Shadow Leaf Dance.

He first used a powerful upward kick to launch his opponent into mid-air, then leaped up himself to utilize the Body Flicker Technique to deliver a series of heavy strikes, finally descending from the sky to land a powerful slash on the airborne enemy.

Every one of his previous attacks had been blocked by Hane's incredibly refined taijutsu, but now that he had activated the Uchiha Clan's kekkei genkai, the Sharingan, Shisui felt certain of victory for this final strike.

"Is that... the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan?!"

"To awaken the Sharingan at only six years old... such talent is terrifying!!"

"Is it over? What a pity..."

"That Yakushi Hane is an incredible genius, too!"

They watched as Shisui, his Sharingan active, descended from the sky on the training ground to launch a strike as swift as a meteor.

Although Hane had already conquered them with his astonishing strength and flashy ninjutsu, everyone present felt a sense of regret for him as he faced the Uchiha Clan's world-renowned Sharingan.

As a civilian ninja, this six-year-old boy had managed to fight the genius Shisui—who had awakened the Sharingan—to this extent, achieving something none of them could have done at that age.

"No, the real fight is only just beginning."

A calm, familiar voice drifted across the training ground, and the eyes of everyone present were involuntarily drawn back to the scene.

"Clang!!"

Just as everyone thought Hane had been defeated, a sudden, violent sound of clashing metal caused everyone to widen their eyes once more.

There, on the vast training ground, a massive 'Spider Web' had appeared out of thin air, actually managing to forcefully withstand Shisui's strongest descending slash!

"What is that?!"

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the giant spider web that had manifested from nothing.

"This is?!"

Seeing the giant spider web blocking his strongest, sure-fire slash, the expression on Shisui's face froze, and then a strange light erupted within his crimson Sharingan.

"So it has finally appeared... Hane, your kekkei genkai..."

Kekkei genkai?!

Shisui's quiet voice echoed throughout the silent training ground, and expressions of disbelief appeared on the faces of everyone present.

That brat... actually possessed a kekkei genkai?!

"No hand signs were seen... and it isn't a secret technique either..."

Meanwhile, watching the giant 'Spider Web' Hane had released from his hands, the Third Hokage, standing to the side, finally saw his expression change completely.

"This kid... could he really be..."

Flashy Lightning Release ninjutsu, stunningly powerful strength, and if he also possessed a kekkei genkai...

The Third Hokage suddenly realized he could no longer find the words to describe the monster-like white-haired boy before him.

"I never imagined you would awaken the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan so early, Shisui."

"It can't be helped... it seems I'll have to stop warming up and end this fight quickly..."

Amidst the shocked and dazed gazes of the crowd, Hane spoke calmly while blocking Shisui's strongest strike.

He extended his left hand forward, releasing a giant spider web that appeared to be constructed from countless spider threads.

Spider Web—this technique's indestructible defensive power was enough to block almost any physical attack; even Shisui's full-force strike could not break through it.

"That level of intensity... was just a warm-up?"

"You certainly have a lot of nerve... Hane!"

Across the massive, sturdy Spider Web, Shisui stared at Hane's calm, indifferent face.

A sharp, piercing glint erupted in Shisui's crimson Sharingan as he slashed hard with his short blade.

"It's useless, Shisui."

"The threads I create cannot be cut by ordinary weapons."

Facing the still-surging fighting spirit in Shisui's eyes, Hane's clear, amber-colored pupils remained completely unmoved.

Since the power of the String-String Fruit had already been exposed, he would simply end this fight now...

Five-Color String!!

As the calm words left his lips, Hane waved his right hand with a seemingly casual motion.

Five nearly invisible, thread-like strings instantly tore through the air.

"This is?!"

Seeing the technique Hane unleashed instantly without hand signs, the pupils of Shisui's blood-red Sharingan constricted.

His dynamic vision, far superior to that of an ordinary person, allowed him to vaguely perceive the five extremely dangerous, invisible strings in the air.

"Bang!!"

Not far behind Shisui, a large tree was instantly sliced into six segments, crashing into the woods beside the training ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"That is... string?"

Likewise, the Third Hokage standing nearby had also noticed the invisible thin strings Yu had released.

However, seeing the immense destructive power caused by what appeared to be Yu's casual strike with his own eyes, he still could not help but be astonished.

"Such astonishing destructive power!"

"String Release? An ability I have never heard of... could it be a Bloodline Limit unknown to the ninja world?"

Muttering to himself in contemplation, the Third Hokage realized that he had never heard of such a Bloodline Limit before.

"Tch..."

"The Body Flicker Technique again... what a nuisance."

Missing his mark and watching Shisui vanish before his eyes, Yu curled his lip in annoyance, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Foot Shave String!!

This time, the destructive power of Yu's attack was even more staggering; he delivered a powerful whip kick through the air toward the rapidly moving Shisui.

Eight transparent, invisible thin strings blasted out, instantly pulverizing a massive boulder beside the training ground.

"Too strong..."

"What terrifying destructive power..."

While continuously utilizing the Body Flicker Technique to dash across the training ground, dodging the invisible strings that Yu kept slicing and blasting toward him, the calm expression originally on Shisui's face finally began to turn grave. If I get hit by a move like that even once, the fight will truly be over...

"Got you!"

As his brain raced to formulate a countermeasure, the sudden voice that rang out made Shisui's heart jolt violently as he sped through the air.

"Bang!!"

A scene that shocked everyone unfolded.

Shisui, who had been constantly using the Body Flicker Technique across the training ground, seemed to be tripped by something, stumbling and flying forward!

String?!

When was it... oh no!!

With his body suspended in mid-air, Shisui looked back at the ground behind him and saw that, at some point, a nearly imperceptible transparent string had been laid across it!

"It was while you were using the Body Flicker Technique to dodge my pursuit just now..."

"Taking a moment to secretly set up a string like that is nothing more than a simple task for me..."

Seeming to see through Shisui's thoughts, Yu watched the off-balance Shisui flying through the air, the corners of his mouth curling up as he explained, his eyes radiating a sharp glint that was impossible to meet.

He had already won this fight!
