A long sword was held horizontally in front of Sasuke, aimed at his face!
Sasuke's Sharingan spun in his eyes as he quickly adjusted his posture to dodge the sudden and fierce sword strike.
Sasuke felt a cold sweat break out all over his body. He only felt this kind of pressure when fighting Shinsei. But Shinsei never used such dangerous moves when sparring with him.
"Who are you?" Sasuke pointed the Chakra sword at the young man who had suddenly appeared opposite him.
Shinsei stood up; what had just happened was too sudden. Even if he were in Sasuke, he couldn't have done any better.
After all, he hasn't activated Sage Mode yet.
Looking at the young man who suddenly appeared in the courtyard, Shinsei felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The young man wore a black bird-beak mask, making it impossible to determine his exact age.
Judging from his physique, he should be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with short black hair that made him look very energetic.
The speed at which he could Sasuke back in an instant is extremely rare even in the Shinobi World. Even with Shinsei's intelligence gathering abilities, it's impossible that he wouldn't recognize him.
This person possessed an extremely peculiar aura, yet it was strangely familiar to Shinsei. It was the distinctive, deadly scent of a Impure World Reincarnation ninja.
A long sword, short black hair, seventeen or eighteen years old, Impure World Reincarnation, and possessing great strength—these specific words combined instantly reminded Shinsei of a special person.
"Is that you, Brother Shisui?"
Upon hearing Shinsei's words, Sasuke visibly startled. He carefully observed the man wearing a black mask opposite him, rummaging through his memories of Shisui and comparing them with the man before him.
"You recognized me, huh?" The voice behind the mask was young and warm, clearly tinged with laughter. "Long time no see, Sasuke, Shinsei, you've both grown so much. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"It's alright, Brother Shisui, we will definitely rescue you. Is Danzo controlling you?"
Shinsei was overjoyed to see Shisui Uchiha again. This was the person who had guided him to sense Chakra, and he held special significance for Shinsei.
Even though he is now an enemy, given Shisui's personality, this would never have been his intention.
"I'm sorry, I can't say his name." Shisui's tone was somewhat somber.
Sasuke clenched his fists, a red six-pointed star appearing in his eyes. He would never allow anyone to control Shisui Uchiha using such methods.
Purple Chakra surged from Sasuke's body, coalescing into a giant Chakra that raised its arm high, reaching out to grab Shisui Uchiha.
Shisui Uchiha's figure moved with lightning speed, disappearing from the spot in Setsuna, leaving only an afterimage.
With a deafening roar, Susanoo's skeletal arm sent up a huge cloud of dust. When the dust settled, Shisui Uchiha and the four enemies from before were nowhere to be seen.
"Such a fast Body Flicker Technique!"
Even Shinsei, who always pursues speed, had to admire that the seemingly ordinary Body Flicker Technique was like the Flying Thunder God Technique in Shisui's hands, with his shadows seemingly densely packed all over the scene.
"Over there!" Naruto shouted, pointing to the outer wall.
If Naruto could detect it, Shinsei's Sharingan would naturally be able to as well.
The purple lotus mark on Shinsei's forehead flickered quietly as Senjutsu Chakra surged into Shinsei body, causing a layer of white light to illuminate his form.
Shinsei's speed increased dramatically after activating Sage Mode.
He quickly ran towards Shisui Uchiha Shisui Uchiha, and countless Shadow Clone also surrounded him.
Just then, a loud bird cry came from the courtyard next door. An eagle made of ink swooped down overhead.
Shisui Uchiha jumped onto Mo Ying's back, heading to pick up the other four people.
Shinsei, enveloped in white light, raised his fist and punched Shisui Uchiha hard. A long steel sword slashed horizontally towards Shinsei.
Shinsei ignored everything and continued to punch Shisui.
The immense force of the fist shattered the Adamantine Sword in two, then struck Shisui Uchiha's head, reducing his Impure World Reincarnation head to dust.
The Impure World Reincarnation ninja does not die, so Shinsei has no scruples when he attacks.
Before he could recover, Shinsei quickly formed hand Hand Seals and used Sealing Jutsu to seal Shisui Uchiha.
Removing Shisui Uchiha's mask revealed the warm-hearted boy from his memories. He smiled and nodded slightly to Shinsei.
"Thank you for helping me and preventing me from making any more mistakes."
"You're welcome, Brother Shisui. I should thank you for helping me embark on the path of a ninja."
"You are a genius of Konoha. Even if it weren't for me, someone else would have led you down this path."
"No, no, no! Without you, I might not have become a ninja."
Shinsei was pondering where to seal Shisui Uchiha, or whether he could summon him himself. Suddenly, Shinsei sensed something was wrong.
Why is Naruto, who used to shout and yell whenever a battle started, so quiet now?
Looking around, why did the battle between Sasuke, Naruto, and the four opponents seem so rigid? Thinking of this, Shinsei quickly Hand Seals.
" Genjutsu - Release!"
The scene before my eyes shattered like glass. I had indeed fallen for Genjutsu!
A large bird carrying five people soared into the sky. Shinsei Hand Seals, attempting to unleash Ninjutsu. Countless fireballs flew down from the bird, densely packed like countless firebirds, swooping down upon the group.
Shinsei himself didn't care, but there were many ordinary people around him who couldn't withstand these Ninjutsu.
With a tap of his right foot on the ground, a massive wall of water erupted from the earth, engulfing the entire shrine. Countless fireballs crashed into the water wall, exploding into huge splashes of water.
Meanwhile, the large bird painted in ink carried the five people away.
" Naruto, stop chasing!" Shinsei quickly called out to Naruto, who still wanted to continue the pursuit. "Their purpose here isn't the Konoha group; they're very likely here to capture the priestess."
Although Naruto was somewhat unwilling, he still chose to trust Shinsei's judgment.
Naruto, Sasuke, Shinsei, Kakashi all looked somewhat embarrassed. Shinsei wasn't the only one who had just Genjutsu.
Shinsei couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. Was this the power of the wielder of the strongest Genjutsu Kotoamatsukami?
However, there's one thing Shinsei doesn't quite understand.
Remember how Uchiha Itachi used Kotoamatsukami to break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation in the original work? But the current user of Kotoamatsukami hasn't done the same, and we don't know why.
