"Want to see the gap between us?"
Uchiha Shisui narrowed his eyes slightly. He had not expected Itachi to challenge him.
During the last Third Shinobi World War, he had witnessed the deaths of his friends and awakened the Mangekyo. Neither the anime nor the side stories had explained how Shisui awakened his Mangekyo, but he had probably gone through something during the war that triggered it.
At that thought, Uchiha Shisui shook his head. "There's no need to test it. You're not my opponent."
Itachi was a genius, but he was still lacking.
"I want to try. I want to know the gap between us so I can become stronger!" Itachi looked at Shisui seriously, speaking calmly, the desire to fight on his face undiminished. "Without a goal, my strength will only stagnate!"
Shisui met Itachi's gaze. Seeing the serious expression on Itachi's face, he finally sighed. "Now?"
"Yes!" Itachi nodded solemnly, then retreated several steps. His body tensed as he assumed an attacking stance. "Please don't hold back. I need to clearly understand the gap between us so I can keep growing stronger!"
A Kunai appeared in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.
"Then let's begin!" Uchiha Shisui looked at Itachi and finally nodded.
At the same time, he became serious as well!
He also wanted Itachi to clearly recognize his current level. When Itachi entered the Anbu in the future, he would have a clear understanding of his own position!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
As Shisui's words fell, five Shuriken shot out simultaneously.
They were aimed at Shisui's brow.
"Decisive attack. Very good!" Shisui nodded in satisfaction.
However, the moment the Shuriken flew out, he used the Body Flicker Technique to retreat rapidly!
In the blink of an eye, he had withdrawn around ten meters.
"Body Flicker Shisui, I've studied your abilities, so I predicted your movement beforehand!" Itachi was confident and certain. The moment he threw the Shuriken, he had already determined the direction Shisui would evade toward!
With a flicker of his body, he had already reached the spot where Shisui appeared.
"You can't keep up with my speed, but I won't dodge this time!" Shisui looked at Itachi's attack as another Kunai appeared in his hand.
Their weapons collided!
The difference in strength sent Itachi flying.
Yet as he was sent flying, Itachi formed hand seals again. "Great Fireball Technique!"
A fireball blasted toward him.
Every move was within Itachi's expectations, and his Ninjutsu flowed seamlessly.
"Not bad!" A sharp gleam flashed in Uchiha Shisui's eyes. This series of methods was indeed astonishing. "Now it's my turn!"
As his words fell,
Shisui cleaved the Great Fireball Technique apart with a single slash, then activated the Body Flicker Technique!
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Itachi.
He was incredibly fast!
His Shuriken slashed out again.
This time, Itachi could only block with his Kunai.
Bang~
The instant their weapons met, Itachi was sent flying backward.
He spun through the air three times before barely steadying himself.
He had only just landed!
The instant he landed, Shisui was already in front of him again.
"Not good..." Itachi cried out as his pupils suddenly contracted, Two Tomoe appearing within them.
He could now observe Shisui's movements.
He could barely respond to them next.
"Two Tomoe? Good, very good!" Shisui looked at Itachi's Two Tomoe, unable to hide the smile on his face.
It seemed that before long, Itachi would awaken the Third Tomoe!
His strength would rise once again.
With both him and Itachi entering the village, the Uchiha's treatment would only improve more and more.
As he thought this,
Shisui's movements accelerated, as if he intended to force out Itachi's limits.
Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, Great Fireball Technique!
They all appeared throughout the battle. Being able to contend with Shisui for so long once again demonstrated Itachi's talent.
After this battle, Shisui had gained a deeper understanding of Itachi's strength. The current Itachi had already surpassed ordinary Chunin. If he had more Chakra, he could even rival a Jonin.
Huff, huff, huff.
Itachi barely resisted Shisui's attacks while panting heavily, his eyes filled with shock.
Shisui had not used his full strength against him. He had not even opened his eyes.
The gap between him and Shisui was still enormous.
"Use your full strength. Let me see your true ability!" Itachi's voice rang out, filled with determination.
He knew that Shisui possessed far more strength than this.
"Fine. Then I'll let you witness the strength of a top-tier ninja in the shinobi world and make you clearly understand this world!" Uchiha Shisui rapidly formed hand seals, and one clone after another appeared at his side.
Six clones appeared.
They were identical to Uchiha Shisui!
"Shadow Clones?" Itachi was seeing Shisui use the Body Flicker Technique for the first time, and confusion filled his eyes.
He muttered softly,
Then Itachi threw the Shuriken in his hand toward the foremost Shisui, but it passed straight through without causing any damage!
Unconvinced, he tried again!
The result was the same.
The clones seemed entirely illusory.
"Genjutsu? Real Shadow Clones? Or some other method?" Itachi's expression became incomparably shocked. Facing so many Shadow Clones, he did not know how to respond.
"My turn!" Uchiha Shisui looked at Itachi and smiled.
The clones rushed forward.
They surrounded Uchiha Itachi completely!
And,
the clones attacked Itachi simultaneously.
"It should be Genjutsu. Only one of them is the real body!" Itachi murmured, but he had already spotted a flaw in one clone and thrust straight at it!
Yet his Kunai stabbed through empty air!
It was an illusion!
This was simply unbelievable.
Bang...
At the same time, another clone appeared and punched Itachi flying!
Immediately afterward, another clone appeared before him and kicked Itachi into the air again!
One combo after another.
Itachi was beaten so badly that he had no power to fight back.
"How is this possible? They're clearly illusions, yet every clone can attack!" Itachi's eyes were full of disbelief and even fear. "Is this Body Flicker Shisui?"
For the first time, he experienced the terror of Body Flicker Shisui, the Uchiha genius.
Not far away,
Xuanyu's small figure leaned against the roof of a mansion, eating snacks as he watched the Training Grounds. His tone carried a hint of teasing. "They're fighting. Interesting!"
Xuanyu's mansion was only about a kilometer away from the Training Grounds. Through the Byakugan ability displayed by his Double Pupils, he could easily see every movement within the Training Grounds!
After returning home, he had been observing this place the entire time.
He knew that something was bound to happen between Itachi and Shisui. He had not expected them to start fighting.
Still, he was impressed by Shisui's strength. Shisui probably possessed the strength of a top-tier ninja now. He had not used his full power at all; Itachi was simply still too weak.
As they fought, as they fought!
Xuanyu saw Shisui begin using clones, easily suppressing Itachi until he had no ability to fight back.
"So this is the Body Flicker Technique?"
Through the Byakugan, he could clearly see the principles behind Uchiha Shisui's Body Flicker Technique.
Among the six figures, one was the real body and two were Shadow Clones!
The remaining three figures were condensed from Genjutsu.
If he had not been this far away, he might have been affected by the Genjutsu too!
But the overpowered aspect of this Body Flicker Technique was that Shisui could rapidly swap his real body and Shadow Clones with the Genjutsu clones. That was why his clones seemed both real and illusory.
A combination of Shadow Clones, Genjutsu, and Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Even with the Byakugan, Xuanyu had no good way to counter it for now!
He truly lived up to the name Body Flicker Shisui!
Body Flicker Shisui's abilities were never perfectly explained, so I fleshed them out myself. I believe this version of Body Flicker Shisui's Body Flicker Technique is the most perfect!
I hope everyone understands!
