The Crystal Release Ninja panted softly and formed a few hand seals.
The crystal fragments scattered across the ground shifted slightly, as though something was controlling them.
The Crystal Release Ninja looked at a crystal mirror nearby. Images from various corners began to appear on its surface, followed by a figure crouching on a large tree!
"I found you!" The corners of the Crystal Release Ninja's mouth curled upward beneath his mask.
His hands flew through another rapid series of hand seals!
"Crystal Release! Crystal Wall Eightfold Formation!"
An enormous crystal cage closed around Shisui as he crouched on the tree, trapping him inside!
"Got you!" Seeing Shisui trapped, the Crystal Release Ninja leaped out from behind a tree, his hands continuing to move without pause!
"Crystal Release! One Arrow of Light!"
The Crystal Release Ninja aimed at the trapped Shisui and unleashed his ninjutsu!
The instant the crystal cage trapped him, Shisui reacted swiftly, activating Susanoo again.
A green skeleton had barely appeared when a dazzling beam of white light pierced straight through the crystal and struck Susanoo!
The newly formed Susanoo was pierced clean through, and so was Shisui's body!
That Shisui stiffened. Crystals rapidly formed around his pierced body, crystallizing him from the inside out!
The Crystal Release Ninja stared at the crystallized Shisui, panting heavily!
"Hahaha! Body Flicker Shisui, my ass! I killed him just like that!" After catching his breath, the Crystal Release Ninja burst out laughing.
Then he dispelled the crystal cage and approached the crystallized Shisui, preparing to shatter him!
Suddenly, he noticed Shisui's eyes move inside the crystal!
The Crystal Release Ninja's heart lurched. This is bad!
Just as he prepared to retreat, he felt his body slip out of his control, as though a giant tree had wrapped around him!
