Mathematical Chakra Form in Action

Jungle shadows.

The three-tomoe slowly rotated, the power of the Sharingan instantly transmitting from him to the Kirigakure ninja in the distance, watching the enemy kill each other.

"One squad down."

Shisui Uchiha used a Genjutsu, and after dealing with the enemies who were unskillful at breaking Genjutsu, he quickly closed in on the enemies using the Body Flicker Technique.

However, within his sensory range, he felt a familiar signature appear, knowing that Konoha had already dispatched reinforcing ninja, which was why he had started moving.

Swish, swish—!

Shisui's figure bounced through the forest, flashing like a beam of light.

Ah—!

"It's Shisui Uchiha."

"We're done for, it's actually him."

"Attack, don't be afraid of him, he's all alone."

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet."

Boom—!

Goenji had just approached the rendezvous point when he suddenly heard the commotion in the distance.

He formed hand seals.

His Three-Tomoe Sharingan appeared, seeing the scene in the distance.

A huge water dragon soared into the sky.

Rising alongside it was a massive fireball.

The two collided.

"Hurry up, Shisui is already fighting the Kirigakure ninja."

After issuing the command, Goenji quickly used the Body Flicker Technique, charging toward the battlefield.

His three teammates quickly followed as well.

Though their speed was obviously much slower.

Boom—!

Just as he approached, he saw a massive explosion ring out.

Swish—!

Whoosh, whoosh—!

Clang—!

A cold flash swept past, and a burst of flames rose.

Fire Release: Flame Leap.

Shisui Uchiha's short blade was wreathed in flames, firelight bursting from the blade's gleam to slice through the Water Formation Wall defended by the Kirigakure ninja, and taking advantage of the momentum to expand the force of the Fire Release, casually flicking his wrist to eliminate ranged attacks like shuriken.

Then he followed up with a slash.

Sizzle, sizzle—!

The flames swept across the enemy's body, and before they even had time to scream, the person was split in half, their flesh hissing with the sizzle of the Fire Release.

"One."

Swish, swish—!

"Two."

Clang—!

"Three..."

Soon, Shisui Uchiha eliminated the enemies, leaving behind only a mess all over the ground, as well as scorched earth and trees, though it did not cause a forest fire.

He dropped his gaze onto an appearing figure: "It's you, Senior Goenji."

"Long time no see. I didn't expect that someone who was already so outstanding back at the Ninja Academy would be even more exceptional now. You truly live up to your reputation as a once-in-a-decade genius of the Uchiha!" Goenji smiled.

Since they were both from the clan and of the same age—he was only older than Shisui by a year—they naturally knew each other, just not all that well.

They were still on a first-name basis, though.

The Sharingan in his eyes also returned to ordinary black irises.

Inwardly, he sighed that Shisui Uchiha truly lived up to being a genius who had made a name for himself at thirteen; he was formidable indeed.

The methods Shisui had just used when facing the enemies had made even him feel it was tricky.

Goenji prided himself on his own Body Flicker Technique not being bad, but tactically it still looked inferior to Shisui's.

Then there was the Fire Release from just now, wrapping the power of the flames around the blade's edge just like manipulating flaming ninja tools, which had given him inspiration.

Aside from his physical body, he could also condense the power of Fire Release onto edged weapons, and he ought to be able to develop this aspect quite quickly; after all, he had already developed corresponding ninjutsu for his fists and feet.

He could even attach flame power to wire, and mimicking Shisui Uchiha's swordplay and Fire Release from just now should be quite simple for him.

More importantly, he had secretly learned Ryoma's swordplay; if he applied the power of flames to his sword techniques, the might would likely be even greater than Shisui's.

He had freeloaded yet another direction for ninjutsu development, and Goenji was happy inside.

Shisui Uchiha smiled and nodded: "Let's not reminisce for now. There are still many invading Kirigakure ninja we haven't dealt with; let's take care of them first."

"No problem, let's show the others how formidable our Uchiha clan is." Goenji nodded.

Right now, they indeed needed to finish the mission first.

The enemies had already invaded deep into the Land of Fire.

Naturally, they couldn't just let them continue pushing deeper recklessly.

"Captain, your Body Flicker Technique is getting faster and faster."

Right at that moment, his three teammates finally arrived, looking at the two of them.

"Let's move, time to kill the enemy."

Swish, swish—!

"Damn it, why is Shisui Uchiha here? Curse it, the mission fails again." Ao's face turned livid, his Byakugan frequently scanning and releasing its sight.

He was extremely resentful; he had clearly been close to completing the mission, so how had he been discovered by Shisui Uchiha!

Suddenly.

"How is this possible, another Uchiha has come, and they're strong too?" Ao saw yet another teammate being targeted by a group of people.

Especially the person in the lead—their chakra was very distinctive, just like that Shisui Uchiha. In Ao's eyes, that person's chakra was filled with the colors of flame.

Swish—!

Fire Release: Dragon Flame Jutsu.

The massive fire dragon impacted like a giant train, shoving trees aside and shooting straight toward a squad fleeing ahead.

"Careful, it's Fire Release, Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet."

The sudden attack made the Kirigakure ninja feel quite miserable, but the leading ninja still seized the opportunity, a water dragon rising from the ground to counter-charge the fire dragon.

"Water defeats fire, you're simply overestimating yourselves."

The Kirigakure captain was extremely confident; with his Water Dragon Bullet, dealing with the enemy's Fire Release would be absolute child's play.

He also recognized this Konoha ninja's Fire Release; it was merely the Uchiha's secret Dragon Flame Jutsu. With the power of his Water Dragon Bullet, plus the elemental advantage, he would definitely suppress it.

Boom—!

Yet the moment they collided, he watched the head of the water dragon get battered by the fire dragon without the slightest stall, disintegrating the water dragon amidst hissing waves of steam.

"Oh no."

Such a scene caused the Kirigakure ninja's expression to drastically change.

How can this be? he screamed inwardly.

The opponent's Dragon Flame Jutsu shouldn't have been able to shatter his Water Dragon Bullet.

"Captain, let's attack together!"

His nearby teammates reminded him.

The four of them formed hand seals simultaneously, and four Water Formation Walls rose from the ground, blocking in front of the Dragon Flame Jutsu.

Fortunately they had been vigilant, otherwise their hand-seal speed wouldn't have even kept up.

Puff, puff, puff!

Boom—!

To the Kirigakure ninja's surprise, the four Water Formation Walls merely managed to barely hold off the Dragon Flame Jutsu.

"Damn it, why is the power of this ninjutsu so great?"

Swish, swish!

Before they even had time to marvel, shuriken flew in the distance like swarms of dancing bees, densely packing the air as they flew over.

Water Release: Exploding Water Shock Wave.

The Kirigakure captain quickly deployed his ultimate move.

"This ends here; I don't want to waste time." Goenji rapidly transformed into a flashing, light-like figure, appearing right in front of him with the corners of his mouth hooked up.

As expected.

As long as he completed the chakra leverage inside the ninjutsu—even a tiny lever—he could allow the ninjutsu to unleash even greater power under the release of equivalent chakra.

For his first experiment, Goenji was extremely satisfied.

"You're not Shisui."

"Of course, Konoha cannot have only one Shisui."

Clang—!

At such close range, combined with Goenji's Sharingan control over combat distance, he instantly seized the opponent's opening and, after a brief hypnosis with the Sharingan, slashed open the Kirigakure captain's neck with a single blade.

Sizzle—!

Pfft—!

The head flew high into the air, disbelief lingering in its eyes.

Meanwhile, a massive amount of blood instantly spewed from the neck.

"Captain!"

The other three Kirigakure shinobi watched with eyes splitting from rage and vessels bursting.

Swish, swish—!

Several bugs appeared on the neck of one Kirigakure shinobi, and after a single bite, his entire body turned black, whereupon he collapsed to the ground.

Another Kirigakure shinobi was impaled from behind by a rock pillar protruding from the ground, running straight through him from bottom to top.

A third Kirigakure shinobi was split entirely in two, and appearing behind the flash of the blade was Ryoma with his high ponytail tied back.

"Hah, the abilities of this Kirigakure unit aren't bad, but their combat experience still seems a bit lacking," Goenji muttered in complaint after confirming they were all dead.

That captain from just now definitely wasn't a Jonin; a Jonin wouldn't possess such weak strength.

Their combat experience was far too weak.

To think they were dealt with just like that under these circumstances.

They should only be Chunin from Kirigakure.

Ze stepped forward to inspect the bodies. "Captain, these are all elite shinobi from Kirigakure. I didn't expect them to send out so many people, and there's no telling what they're trying to do."

"Mhm, they probably wanted to take advantage of the vulnerability on Konoha's front lines against Kirigakure, sending people to infiltrate the rear of the Land of Fire to disrupt us," Goenji speculated.

Their squad had just arrived at this battlefield and lacked excessive intelligence.

They could only deduce things from the overall situation of the battlefield.

"Let's go, hunt down the others. No matter what objective they have, killing them is always right."
