That voice is unmistakably Hashihime's.
"How could someone as beautiful as Sister Hashihime say such a thing?" Shinsei smiled Teuchi to Hashihime and the Giant Beast behind her.
"This is Hashihime, and this is the Giant Beast," Shinsei introduced them to Sasuke. "This is the newcomer, Huoche."
Hashihime covered her mouth and laughed, "He looks like a handsome young man. Shall we get to know him?"
The so-called "getting acquainted" is a long-standing tradition of the Anbu. Newcomers need to spar and practice with veteran members to improve their familiarity and teamwork.
However, if Sasuke were to actually fight, it would be difficult for him to remain undetected.
But it doesn't matter anymore. Whether he uses Chidori or Sharingan, his identity will be exposed even faster than Shinsei's.
Sasuke's survival skills are now much better than when Shinsei first joined the Anbu.
After becoming Tsunade's student, he also signed the Summoning Scroll in Shikkotsu Forest.
The summoning beast Katsuyu can be used not only for combat and healing, but more importantly, in dangerous situations, Sasuke can use the Reverse Summoning Technique to summon himself to Shikkotsu Forest.
After Sasuke changed into his Anbu uniform, the four of them went to a secluded training ground.
The Giant Beast consciously Earth Flow the center of the arena and formed the Seal of Confrontation towards Sasuke.
The two stood still, completed their Hand Seals, Sasuke, with a thin layer of lightning emanating from his body, rushed towards the giant Giant Beast at an extremely fast speed. He extended his right hand, which was filled with blue Chakra and transformed into a long Lightning Release blade, which he then thrust towards the Giant Beast.
Shinsei saw it clearly: the move Sasuke was not his Ninjutsu Without Hand Seals, but rather an extension of Chidori — Chidori Stream.
Shinsei had initially thought it would take Sasuke a long time to develop this level of Chakra control, but it seems the Three-Tomoe Sharingan has truly brought him a significant boost.
Although the Giant Beast was not as fast as Sasuke, it had far more combat experience. It dodged Sasuke's Chakra sword by sidestepping it, and at the same time kicked out with great force, sending a large amount of mud clods rushing towards Sasuke with tremendous power.
However, this technique posed no danger to Sasuke; he easily dodged it even without using his Sharingan.
The Giant Beast had already created distance, its hands Hand Seals, and it spewed a large ball of flame from its mouth.
Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!
Sasuke, not to be outdone, also formed hand Hand Seals, and flames rose like a high wall.
Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!
Is this a new Ninjutsu Sasuke learned? It seems that the box of Ninjutsu scrolls has greatly enriched Sasuke's repertoire.
Two enormous flames collided, creating a massive airflow.
The Giant Beast continued Hand Seals.
Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Fire!
Sasuke also used the same technique.
Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Fire!
Sasuke's Phoenix Flower Fire accurately blocked each incoming flame, and after colliding, the Shuriken hidden in the flames attacked the Giant Beast.
Thump, thump, Shuriken pierced the massive log; the Giant Beast had used Substitution Technique.
The Giant Beast continued to use Fire Style, but Sasuke was always able to counter them with the same Fire Style.
This wasn't Sasuke activating his Sharingan to copy; rather, Sasuke had already learned the Fire Style that the Giant Beast possessed, and even deliberately slowed down his movements during the execution.
Upon seeing this, the Giant Beast hurriedly called for a halt, indicating its surrender.
His Chakra was almost depleted, but Sasuke on the other side was still full of energy.
Although the Giant Beast's full strength was not yet unleashed, and it still possessed considerable power and decent Taijutsu, its rich experience told it that Taijutsu with someone capable of using Lightning Release Ninjutsu without hand seals would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
Sasuke straightened up, but did not leave the center of the training field. Instead, he stared directly at Shinsei, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Sasuke, you're getting cocky again.
Hashihime giggled and nudged Shinsei with her shoulder, "Go on, you're still a member of our team, isn't it your job to mentor the newcomers?"
The Giant Beast chuckled Earth Flow and leaned against a wooden stake. "You newcomers are absolutely terrifying! I've completely humiliated you."
He could obviously tell that Sasuke holding back; if he weren't wearing a mask, everyone would have seen his bright red face.
Looking into Sasuke's eyes, which were filled with fighting spirit.
Shinsei shrugged. "Alright, whether as a senior brother or a veteran member of the Anbu, it's my responsibility to guide newcomers."
Shinsei walked to the center of the training ground, looked at the spirited Sasuke, and asked, "Do you want to take a break? You just used up so much Chakra."
"No need." Sasuke's eyes seemed to light up, filled with fighting spirit.
Well, that's some guts. No wonder you're Sasuke.
Shinsei didn't want to use his Chakra reserves to bully Sasuke. Even with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Sasuke's current Chakra reserves were at most around two kilocalories.
Shinsei, after optimizing his Kekkei Genkai, has reached twenty Chakra units and is still increasing, with no end in sight.
After both sides completed their Seal of Confrontation, Sasuke took the initiative.
A thin layer of blue Chakra covered his body, indicating that he had become very proficient at using Lightning Release to increase his speed.
Shinsei was also covered by a thin layer of black Chakra. Compared to Lightning Release, this Storm Release Chakra not only increased Shinsei's speed but also provided him with a layer of protection.
Sasuke's bloodshot eyes spun rapidly, the three Tomoe in them spinning, and his speed increased more than twice as much as before.
However, thinking you can defeat Shinsei with just these skills is too simplistic.
In terms of Chakra manipulation using Lightning Release, Shinsei is even superior to Sasuke. Moreover, in terms of physical attributes, the Senju bloodline is virtually unmatched in the entire Shinobi World.
Shinsei grabbed Sasuke's right hand and lifted him into the air.
From Sasuke's outstretched two fingers, a Chakra sword crackling with lightning extended out, emitting a buzzing sound.
Has he finally mastered Lightning Release: Lightning Sword? As the developer of this Ninjutsu, Shinsei dared not test the power of this Ninjutsu Without Hand Seals with his own body, so he hurriedly released Sasuke and retreated explosively.
In mid-air, Sasuke twisted his wrist, and Lightning Release: Lightning Sword slashed towards Shinsei.
Even though they are both Ninjutsu Without Hand Seals, it depends on who is using them.
A black longsword extended from the two fingers of Shinsei's left hand, and the two Ninjutsu Without Hand Seals collided directly.
bass!
A piercing sound rang out, and the Lightning Sword Lightning Release Sasuke's two fingers snapped in two, while the black longsword in Shinsei's two fingers remained intact.
The structure of the Ninjutsu Without Hand Seals developed by Shinsei is unique, resembling two triangles joined together. Chakra flows from the back of the sword to the tip, and then back from the tip to the back.
Upon contact with an object, the Chakra at the tip of the sword will separate the object from it, while the Chakra flowing along the blade will further propel the entire blade forward.
Its power comes from the flow of Chakra; the faster the rotation speed, the greater the power.
Both are Ninjutsu Without Hand Seals, Shinsei's Chakra control is stronger than Sasuke's. Moreover, the Ninjutsu Without Hand Seals formed by Storm Release is already superior to ordinary Lightning Release.
Sasuke adjusted his posture and landed steadily on the ground, his eyes still showing no sign of admitting defeat.
Then come on, let me show you the difference between us.
