"Awesome!"
Back at the Konoha Laboratory, Zhong Kui stretched lazily and shouted in delight.
This was his first real battle in years. Before, he had only assisted everyone with their training. Now, he had finally gotten the chance to let loose and had gained a deeper understanding of his own strength.
He was very strong,
but still somewhat lacking in close combat.
Although he trained his body and had learned the Eight Gates Formation as well, he still fell somewhat short compared to Neji, Hinata, and the others. Not to mention Hashira and Hua Yu. Those two possessed the finest Wood Release cells and extraordinary regenerative abilities, so their grasp of the Eight Gates Formation was even deeper.
But he was different. In terms of taijutsu, he was at most only slightly stronger than Rock Lee. If he overused the Eight Gates Formation, his body might still be unable to withstand it.
That also gave him a precise role: support.
Next, he would devote himself fully to researching that movement ninjutsu, along with some survival techniques.
"Don't get careless. Your support abilities are impressive, but your weaknesses are obvious." Uchiha Shisui looked at Zhong Kui and spoke slowly. "If you fought me, I could easily take your life without even giving you the chance to deploy your Gravity Domain!"
That was the truth. His speed and Space Ability allowed him to end a battle quickly.
"You're talking about yourself. It would be difficult for anyone else to pull that off!" Zhong Kui could not help complaining. He specialized in long-range attacks, but Shisui could ignore distance and attack directly by crossing space.
He could practically lock onto Zhong Kui's vital point at once.
But how many people like that could there possibly be?
"Difficult?" Uchiha Shisui looked at Zhong Kui
