Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Several shuriken were thrown by Uchiha Shisui, shooting straight toward Qian's vital points.
The two tomoe in his pupils spun rapidly, and Qian instantly locked onto every incoming shuriken, predicting their flight paths.
After that, his figure flickered, avoiding the vast majority of the attacks. The only two left were knocked away with a single sword strike each.
Then, without stopping his footwork, he closed in on Uchiha Shisui again.
Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui did the same, throwing kunai while using the Body Flicker Technique to widen the distance.
Just like that, the two sides pulled back and forth. When Uchiha Shisui ran out of ninja tools, he used ninjutsu to attack.
Although Qian had the Sharingan and could avoid damage, he was never able to get close to Uchiha Shisui, leaving his idea of close-quarters combat to die before it began.
"In that case, let's see whose ninjutsu is stronger!"
With that thought, Qian abruptly stopped. With a turn of his wrist, he slid his short sword into the sheath at his waist.
Then he raised both hands and rapidly formed the six hand seals "Rat-Tiger-Dog-Ox-Hare-Tiger." Opening his mouth, he spat out dozens upon dozens, even nearly a hundred, fireballs.
These fireballs were like the seeds of balsam flowers, dancing through the air as they rushed toward Uchiha Shisui.
"So fast!"

With that preconceived impression, it was only natural to think his ninjutsu level was average.
Who would have thought
