Bloodline Limit

Flash Slice was a taijutsu technique Shisui had created himself, similar to Konoha Style: Shadow Leaf Dance.

First, he kicked his opponent high into the air with a powerful upward kick. Then he leaped after them and used the Body Flicker Technique to deliver a series of heavy blows, finishing with a powerful slash from above.

Hane had blocked every attack with his superb taijutsu, but now that Shisui had activated the Sharingan, the Uchiha Clan's bloodline limit, he was certain his final strike would win.

"Th-that's... the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan?!"

"He awakened the Sharingan at only six years old... What terrifying talent!"

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

"Yakushi Hane is an incredible genius, too!"

They watched Shisui descend from the sky over the Training Ground, his Sharingan activated as he launched a meteor-like slash.

Although Hane had already won them over with his astonishing skill and dazzling ninjutsu, the Sharingan was renowned throughout the world. Everyone present couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

For a civilian ninja, this six-year-old boy had already accomplished something none of them could have done at his age: fighting a genius with an awakened Sharingan to this point.

"No. The real battle is only just beginning."

A familiar, calm voice came from the Training Ground, drawing everyone's eyes back toward the field.

"Clang!"

Just as everyone thought Hane had lost, the sudden, violent crash of metal against metal made them open their eyes wide again.

A gigantic "spider web" had appeared out of nowhere across the vast Training Ground. It had actually stopped Shisui's strongest slash, delivered from above!

"What is that?!"

Everyone froze, staring blankly at the enormous spider web that had appeared from nowhere.

"What is this?!"

The gigantic spider web had appeared out of nowhere and firmly blocked the strongest slash Shisui had been sure would win.

Shisui's expression tightened. Then an unusual light flashed in his scarlet Sharingan.

"So it's finally appeared... Hane, your bloodline limit..."

Bloodline limit?!

Shisui's quiet words carried across the silent Training Ground, and everyone present wore expressions of disbelief.

That kid... had a bloodline limit?!

"He didn't use Hand Seals... and it isn't a secret technique..."

Meanwhile, as the Third Hokage looked at the enormous "spider web" Hane had released from his hand without warning, his expression finally changed completely.

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

Dazzling Lightning Release Ninjutsu, astonishing strength—and if he also had a bloodline limit...

The Third Hokage suddenly realized he could no longer find the words to describe this white-haired boy, who seemed like a monster.

"I can't believe you awakened the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan so early, Shisui."

"I guess... I'll have to stop warming up and end this fight quickly."

As everyone stared in shock, Hane calmly spoke, having blocked Shisui's strongest slash.

He held out his left hand, releasing a vast spider web made up of countless strands.

Spider Web was an almost indestructible defensive technique, capable of stopping nearly any physical attack. Even Shisui's full-power strike couldn't break through it.

"So that was just a warm-up?"

"You sure know how to talk, Hane!"

Through the enormous, sturdy Spider Web, Shisui fixed his gaze on Hane's calm, composed face.

A sharp glint flashed in his scarlet Sharingan as he slashed his short sword with all his strength.

"It won't work, Shisui."

"The strings I make can't be cut by ordinary weapons."

Shisui's fighting spirit still surged, but Hane's clear, amber-colored eyes remained undisturbed.

Now that he'd revealed the String-String Fruit's power, he might as well end this battle...

Five-Color String!!

As he spoke calmly, Hane casually swept his right hand.

Five almost invisible, thread-thin strings instantly tore through the air.

"What is this?!"

At the sight of Hane's technique, unleashed without Hand Seals, Shisui's pupils contracted within his blood-red Sharingan.

His extraordinary eyesight allowed him to just make out five extremely dangerous, invisible strings in the air.

"Bang!!"

A large tree not far behind Shisui was instantly sliced into six pieces. It crashed into the woods beside the Training Ground, sending dust swirling into the air.

"Those are... strings?"

The Third Hokage, standing nearby, had also noticed the invisible threads Hane had released.

But even after seeing the devastating force of what looked like a casual attack, he couldn't help being astonished.

"What incredible destructive power!"

"String Release? I've never heard of such an ability... Could it be an unknown bloodline limit in the Ninja World?"

Muttering thoughtfully, the Third Hokage realized he had never heard of a bloodline limit like this.

"Tch..."

"Another Body Flicker Technique... What a pain."

His strike had missed. Watching Shisui vanish in an instant, Hane pursed his lips in annoyance, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Foot Shave String!!

This time, Hane's attack was even more destructive. He kicked out at the Shisui rushing past him, as if delivering a powerful whip-like blow through the air.

Eight transparent, invisible strings shot out, instantly reducing the enormous boulder beside the Training Ground to rubble.

"Too strong..."

"That destructive power is terrifying..."

Shisui kept racing across the Training Ground with the Body Flicker Technique, dodging one invisible string after another as they sliced through the air toward him.

His usually composed expression finally turned grave. "If I get hit by one of those techniques, the fight will be over..."

"Got you!"

His mind raced as he searched for a way to respond, but the sudden voice made Shisui's heart jolt as he sped across the field.

"Bang!!"

A surprising scene unfolded before everyone.

As Shisui darted around the Training Ground using the Body Flicker Technique, it was as though something had suddenly tripped him. He stumbled and went flying!

A string?!

When did it—? Damn it!!

Suspended in midair, Shisui looked back and saw an almost imperceptible transparent string stretched across the ground behind him. He had no idea when it had appeared!

"When you used the Body Flicker Technique just now to dodge my attacks..."

"Quietly making a string like this while you were distracted was easy for me..."

As though he'd read Shisui's thoughts, Hane watched him lose his balance and fly through the air, then explained with a smile. Two sharp glints shone in his eyes.

He had already won this battle!
