The Vanishing Ninjutsu

"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson!!"

Having personally felt that Yu's strength was far greater than he had imagined, Shisui was forced to unleash all of his potential.

Off-balance and suspended in mid-air, he rapidly formed hand seals, spat a mouthful of flame from his mouth, and instantly flung six shuriken into the fire, splitting the flames into six smaller fireballs.

In the blink of an eye, the six fireballs, each cloaked in a spinning shuriken, struck violently; if they connected, Yu would suffer the dual damage of both fire and shuriken.

Such astonishing resilience and talent... he is truly worthy of being the future strongest of the Uchiha...

Watching the fireballs hurtling toward him with the spinning shuriken embedded within, even Yu couldn't help but marvel at Shisui's superhuman talent and unyielding perseverance.

"But this ends here!"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!!"

A series of crisp metallic collisions rang out.

The six flaming shuriken Shisui had just unleashed were all sliced clean in half by the sharp threads Yu had whipped out with a wave of his hand!

Taking this opportunity, Shisui had just landed, but before he could steady himself, his vision blurred. A ninja sandal grew infinitely large in his sight—Yu's figure was already standing right before him!

"Bang!!"

An immense, overwhelming force struck, and Shisui was instantly sent flying across the Training Ground by Yu's kick.

"Even if the Sharingan can see it, the body cannot react in time..."

"This feeling must be quite unpleasant, right? Shisui..."

After kicking Shisui away, Yu did not pause. The abundant chakra within his body rapidly condensed in the palm of his right hand, and in a flash, a sphere of chakra blooming with blue-white swirling winds appeared in his grip.

Vanishing Rasengan!!

"That technique?!"

Seeing the Vanishing Rasengan appear in Yu's hand, the Third Hokage, who was watching from the sidelines, widened his eyes, as if he had seen something that shocked him to his core.

I have never seen a technique with that kind of shape transformation... Could it be that boy again?!

Furthermore, it required no hand seals.

As the "Professor of Ninjutsu," the Third Hokage immediately grasped the immense value contained within this peculiar technique.

After all, this was the A-rank ninjutsu that the Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, had spent three years developing in the original timeline.

"What kind of ninjutsu is that? I've never seen it before!!"

"Another A-rank ninjutsu! And it's a seal-less technique at that!!"

"Enough is enough! Is this brat the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths?!"

Seeing the Vanishing Rasengan that Yu was wielding on the Training Ground, the crowd watching from the sidelines had reached a state of shock so profound they were practically numb.

"Let's use this technique..."

"To end this battle, Shisui."

Locking his gaze onto Shisui, who had been sent flying by his kick, Yu threw the Vanishing Rasengan in his hand without a moment's hesitation.

Everyone widened their eyes; time seemed to freeze in that very moment.

However, after the Vanishing Rasengan left Yu's hand, it emitted a faint gust of wind in mid-air and then quickly vanished into thin air.

"It disappeared?"

"Did the technique fail?"

Seeing the Vanishing Rasengan disappear mid-flight, the crowd wore expressions of bewilderment, feeling a sense of disappointment.

"No!"

Of everyone on the Training Ground, only Shisui, still flying through the air, suddenly widened his Sharingan in panic.

That guy Yu...

He wouldn't fail a technique so easily...

"Boom!!"

Sure enough, the very air seemed to tremble.

Before the incredulous eyes of the crowd, the Vanishing Rasengan that had clearly disappeared reappeared once more.

It erupted with astonishing power, slamming directly into Shisui in mid-air and blasting him away!

"How is this possible!!"

Seeing the vanished ninjutsu reappear with such explosive power, even the Third Hokage could not help but cry out in shock at the miraculous and absurd scene unfolding before him.

What kind of astonishing technique was this?!

No one spoke; the entire Training Ground fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared blankly at Yu, who stood tall, and Shisui, who had fallen to the ground.

"Sorry, Shisui..."

"I won."

Under the dazed gazes of everyone around them.

After landing the decisive blow with the Vanishing Rasengan, Hane looked at Shisui, who lay immobile on the ground not far away, and murmured.

"I announce! The first-place graduate of this year's Ninja Academy..."

"The top student... Yakushi Hane!"

"Second place... Uchiha Shisui!"

After a long while, the Third Hokage standing nearby finally withdrew his stunned gaze and loudly announced the final results of this highly anticipated graduation exam.

"He... he won?!"

"Yakushi Hane won! He actually defeated the Uchiha Clan's genius, Shisui!!"

"An incredible brat! An incredible ninjutsu!!"

"Did you see that? That ninjutsu actually vanished just now!!"

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's announcement, the crowd surrounding the Training Ground finally erupted into a frenzy.

Everyone wore expressions of disbelief, excitedly discussing the battle that had just taken place.

"Damn it... that hurts."

"Hane, you guy, you could've gone a bit easier."

At this moment, Shisui, who was lying on the ground nearby, finally managed to struggle into a sitting position.

The clothes on his upper body had been shredded to pieces by the Vanishing Rasengan. Although Hane had adjusted the chakra output, the immense destructive power of the Vanishing Rasengan had still severely injured Shisui's body.

"Sorry, sorry..."

"I'll heal you right now..."

Seeing Shisui injured like this because of him, Hane felt a bit embarrassed and slowly walked over to crouch in front of him.

Mystical Palm Technique!!

Hane quickly formed hand seals, and a ball of green chakra condensed directly onto his right hand, which he then pressed against the body parts Shisui had injured with the Vanishing Rasengan.

Under the healing effects of this high-level medical ninjutsu, Shisui's battered body began to recover rapidly.

This brat... is actually a medical ninja too?!

At this moment, seeing Hane use medical ninjutsu to heal Shisui.

The Training Ground, which had just been buzzing with discussion, suddenly fell into an eerie silence once again.

"Healing jutsu??"

Watching the medical ninjutsu Hane was performing on Shisui, the Third Hokage was also stunned, but he soon realized something was off, and his aged face shifted in shock once more.

"No... that's not it! That is... Mystical Palm Technique!!"

"It's actually the Mystical Palm Technique!!"

Such a brat...

How is it possible...

Seeing the six-year-old Hane using a high-level medical ninjutsu that even some medical ninjas in the Konoha Medical Corps might not be able to master.

The Third Hokage realized that all the shock he had felt in his entire life did not compare to what he had experienced today.
