How Could This Be Possible?

Seeing Shisui's serious, even braced, expression, Lin Yan smiled slightly.

"How about we make some rules?"

How about stopping short of a direct confrontation?

Lin Yan offered a suggestion.

Shisui thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, how do you plan to have the competition?"

"You said you wanted to see the speed of my Six Powers? Then let's see if you can compete with your Body Flicker Technique."

"The distance from here to the main gate of Konoha Village is about five kilometers. How about we make that our destination?"

"Whoever gets there first wins."

"It's very simple, isn't it?"

Lin Yan smiled.

Shisui had initially thought he was going to engage in a full-scale confrontation, but it turned out to be just this simple.

After careful consideration, I realized that the other party might not be willing to reveal more of their strength.

It's also possible that they don't want the two sides to escalate into a full-blown fight.

"Alright."

Shisui nodded in agreement.

"Then, we'll begin after three calls."

"But wait a moment before that."

Lin Yan disappeared after speaking.

Shisui subconsciously looked in the direction of Naruto, Sasuke, and Itachi under the tree in the distance.

Sure enough, he saw Lin Yan appear beside Naruto and say something to Naruto.

They're too far away to hear.

But Lin Yan returned very soon.

"I told Naruto to go back to the village and wait for me."

After Lin Yan returned, she casually offered an explanation before immediately getting into the zone.

He calmly looked at Shisui and gestured for him to proceed. "Three seconds to go, then we'll set off together."

Upon hearing this, Shisui immediately nodded.

Two people count at the same time.

Three seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and the Shisui vanished from its spot in an instant.

To his surprise, Lin Yan didn't seem to be following.

He turned around curiously to look at the place where they had started, but found that Lin Yan was not there at all.

"That can't be..."

Shisui subconsciously turned around and looked ahead.

Upon closer inspection, he indeed saw that Lin Yan had somehow managed to run ahead of him.

He seemed to be flying through the air, moving rapidly forward without his feet touching the ground.

"This speed... it's exactly as Itachi described!"

Shisui was shocked. At the same time, he channeled his Chakra into his eyes and immediately activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.

After awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, Shisui's perception increased exponentially.

Only then did he finally see Lin Yan's movements clearly.

At this moment, Lin Yan's feet were moving in a rapid alternating motion, just like the itachi she had seen before, stomping the air in turn.

In this way, a powerful counterforce is generated, propelling his body forward as if by Inazuma.

Moreover, Lin Yan would occasionally adjust the direction and angle of her movement.

It looked not only incredibly easy, but also extremely fast.

Indeed, in terms of speed, it has already rivaled his own Instantaneous Movement Technique.

Seeing that Lin Yan was getting further and further away from him, Shisui no longer held back.

The Chakra within his body surged forth like a flash flood, operating at full speed.

At the same time, as his Chakra output increased, the speed of his Body Flicker Technique also began to soar.

He quickly caught up with Lin Yan and came up behind her.

"Looks like it's nothing special after all..."

"The Instantaneous Movement Technique is still faster."

Shisui thought to himself silently.

Little did he know that Lin Yan had overheard his thoughts perfectly.

Lin Yan's lips slowly curled up, neither explaining nor refuting.

He simply glanced back at Shisui nonchalantly. "Finally caught up, huh?"

"Then, the real competition is about to begin!"

"What?"

Upon hearing Shisui, Shisui's expression tightened slightly.

But at that moment, Lin Yan's speed suddenly increased, and in an instant he darted dozens of meters away. A second later, he was already more than two hundred meters away.

Shisui watched helplessly as his speed increased, completely dumbfounded. He couldn't react in time and had no chance to catch up.

"His speed... how is that possible!"

"How could it be so fast? It far surpasses my Instantaneous Movement Technique?!"

"So, all that was he doing was warming up...?"

Realizing this, Shisui felt like a clown, and suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face.

However, even though Lin Yan could no longer be seen, Shisui gritted his teeth and forced himself to consume more Chakra to continue tracking her.

Five kilometers is no problem for Lin Yan at all.

He arrived at the gates of Konoha in less than a minute.

Looking back, I was surprised to find that Shisui hadn't followed.

The Observation Haki spread out and quickly detected Shisui's aura and heartbeat, while also locking onto his location.

About a minute later, Shisui finally arrived at the gates of Konoha.

There were fine beads of sweat on his face.

My heartbeat and breathing were more rapid than before the two of us competed.

The amount of Chakra in his body has also decreased somewhat.

"I lost..."

Shisui gave a wry smile, shook his head as he looked at Lin Yan, who was watching him with a half-smile, and said...

"Your teleportation technique is already very fast."

"At least, so far, you're the fastest person I've ever seen besides me."

Lin Yan smiled.

"Is that so?"

Shisui thought he was joking and saying it to comfort himself, but she was still surprised.

"In your hometown, isn't everyone proficient in the Six Powers?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"That's not entirely true; I never said that."

Lin Yan shook her head.

Seeing his relaxed and easygoing demeanor, and how approachable and easy to talk to, Shisui's mood gradually calmed down.

He blinked curiously, then activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.

At this moment, Lin Yan explained, "The Six Powers are quite good, but not everyone is suitable for or has the opportunity to practice them."

"Among those who practice the Six Powers, each person's achievements are not entirely the same due to their willpower, physical fitness, and other factors."

"Some people dedicate their entire lives to practicing these profound martial arts techniques, and on the basis of the Six Powers, they develop even more powerful martial arts techniques."

"However, some people have become lazy in their training for various reasons, resulting in slow progress, and they are even inferior to newcomers who have just learned the Six Powers."

"So, don't doubt what I'm saying, Shisui."

"You truly are the second fastest person I've ever seen."

"That's amazing."

Lin Yan smiled again, giving the other party her affirmation.

Hearing these words of approval made Shisui feel somewhat better.

He glanced at the sky, about to say "see you tomorrow," when Lin Yan suddenly extended an invitation to him.

"Shall we go eat Ichiraku Ramen together?"

Let's take this as the beginning of our friendship.

Lin Yan smiled.
