Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Such a high-intensity contest of pupil power is obviously a big burden for both Kuroto and Shisui, so this kind of weird close combat is difficult to last much longer.

Kuroto was panting heavily while taking the support of the ground with one hand.

At this moment, his whole body is sore, and his calf is beginning to tremble. If he doesn’t take the support of the ground with his hands, he isn’t sure whether he can even stabilize his figure.

This contest was not just about pupil power, but also the neural control they have over their body, perception, action speed, reaction speed, and instantaneous speed were all taken into account.

The minute changes in their attacks midway put extreme pressure over the muscles of the whole body, so even if it was a very short confrontation, the resulting effect is no less than a whole afternoon training he sometimes does together with Guy.

Shisui on the other side was in even worse condition, he was sweating profusely, panting heavily, and looked extremely tired.

Initially, Shisui didn’t pay much attention to Itachi’s praise for Hyuga Kuroto. It’s not because of his arrogance or pride but he indeed qualified to look down on most of the so-called ‘geniuses’ in Konoha.

But after this series of short confrontation, he experienced it first-hand just how strong Hyuga Kuroto and his Byakugan are. He never thought that he would fall behind someone in the battle of insight and reaction since awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, but the reality here really hit him hard.

Neither of them rushed to get up but took a tacit rest while observing the other party.

After a while, Kuroto who has already caught his breath stood up first and said, “Let’s continue.”

Shisui didn’t seem to have recovered completely but he still stood up and nodded seriously.

Kuroto stomped his feet heavily as a result of which the two Shuriken were lying around his feet bounced and were immediately caught by him with both hands and thrown towards Shisui simultaneously.

At the same time, his figure flashed at high speed after the two shurikens, he rushed towards Shisui.

Shisui has already faced a disadvantage in a close-quarter taijutsu battle, so this time he didn’t dare to let Kuroto close-in so easily, and immediately printed hand seals,

“Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu” [Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique]

As soon as Shisui shouted, a huge flame amount of flame was released from his mouth and took the form of a sphere, almost covering the entire battle range.

Seeing the fire sphere rushing towards him, Kuroto had no choice but to use Revolving Heaven again as a counter.

The battleground now became a big stove, and it was a stove with a fan no less. Kuroto’s use of Revolving Heaven broke the fire sphere, as a result of which the entire training ground was now on fire.

The ninjas watching the battle were thankfully less affected because of the earth wall Sandaime-sama created but they still had to occasionally dodge the blazes of fire, and finally, everyone had to back up to a more distance to be able to watch the battle safely.

On the battle range, Kuroto who resisted the Great Fireball technique was also a little uncomfortable.

‘Revolving Heaven’ is a technique used to mainly counter taijutsu attacks, when used to defend against ninjutsu attacks, its effectiveness is greatly reduced. Therefore, although Kuroto somehow managed to block the effect of the Great Fireball Technique used by Shisui, he still had to use three times or possibly four times the chakra that was used in the Fire release technique itself. Even if his chakra volume is higher than Shisui, such an exchange ratio is really unbearable.

Fortunately, after blocking the Fire Release technique Kuroto was already very close to Shisui.

“Shunshin no Jutsu!” [Body Flicker Technique]

Knowing how horrible Kuroto’s close-quarter taijutsu skills are, Shisui ignored the body fatigue and used the body flicker technique without any delay.

Accompanied by Shisui’s voice, more than a dozen Uchiha Shisui appeared around Kuroto.

As soon as he saw Shisui use his signature technique, Kuroto immediately stopped and didn’t rush madly, he scanned around all the Shisui around him with the Tenseigan, but for some reason every image of Shisui appeared original, making it extremely difficult for him to distinguish between them for a while.

Kuroto doesn’t have much knowledge about Shisui’s Body Flicker Technique, but he knows of the title ‘Shunshin no Shisui’. Since Shisui can become famous with his alias as Shisui of the Body Flicker, it simply explains just how pedantic his skills in Body Flicker Technique are.

At this moment, more than a dozen Shisui spoke in a unison voice, “Kuroto-senpai, I’m going to attack!”

The words sounded like a series of echo sounds from all the direction, extremely difficult for Kuroto to distinguish the original source.

As soon as Shisui’s voice fell, a storm of attacks followed.

Kuroto was having it really difficult because of being besieged from all directions by more than a dozen Shisui. He didn’t even get the chance to defend properly and more than a few stab wounds appeared on his body. As a last resort, he had to use Revolving Heaven again and barely block the siege he was facing because of Shisui’s body flicker technique.

After achieving a short respite, Kuroto finally had a short opportunity to observe the Body Flicker technique of Shisui.

After continuous observing, Kuroto finally managed to have some understanding of it.

The Body Flicker Technique of Shisui under his extremely high velocity and mobility allows him to leave behind multiple tangible after-images that could strike with actual force making it extremely difficult for the enemy to resist.

But in the final analysis, the Body flicker technique is also a taijutsu skill, and as long as it is some taijutsu technique, except for some forbidden ones, Revolving Heaven is impeccable in dealing with them.

After realizing this, Kuroto no, longer took the initiative to attack, but chose to defend!

In a battle of Chakra consumption, he definitely has an advantage over Shisui.

And so, a battle of one-sided attack and one-sided defense began, Shisui’s attacks were not going through the defense of Revolving Heaven.

After blocking a series of rapid attacks numerous times, Kuroto wiped of the fine drops of sweat from his forehead and said: “If only up to this degree, you can your signature technique be effective on me?”

Shisui also noticed this, and he decisively stopped the Body Flicker Technique and finally spoke while heaving for breath, “Kuroto-san, I unable to match you, I concede, I lost this battle.”

“What…?” Kuroto uttered in shock, he was taken aback by Shisui’s sudden acknowledgment of defeat, obviously, he didn’t expect Shisui to admit defeat so easily.

Shisui smiled helplessly at Kuroto’s shocking reaction and explained: “My chakra is almost exhausted, and it seems to me that Kuroto-San still has quite a lot of Chakra, so even if we continue as it is, I will lose eventually.”

Looking at Shisui’s tired face, Kuroto suddenly realized.

The awakening of Mangekyo Sharingan although provided a qualitative improvement for Shisui, and improved his combat effectiveness and chakra purity, but didn’t help much in the physical aspect of his strength, rather awakening a Mangekyo at such a young age is being a burden for him, as it is most likely affecting the ratio of yin nature Chakra and Yang nature chakra. Therefore, long-lasting fights aren’t Shisui’s specialty at least for now.

After all, awakening a Mangekyo is an abnormal mutation of the Kekkai Genkai, and the natural essence of Sharingan is quite unstable because of its negative nature. Unless the user gains the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, it will remain a double-edged sword for the awakener, and the more frequently it is used, the greater the burden it will cause to the vision and body of the user.

This also gives Kuroto some understanding as to why Shimura Danzo dared to attack Shisui.

The first reason is that the Mangekyo causes a lot of burden to its user so if Shisui is fighting he will subconsciously avoid using the Mangekyo.

The second reason is that he initiated the attack using ‘in the Name of the village’ or ‘For Konoha’ to justify his actions, which subconsciously suppressed Shisui’s intention to use a killing blow against Danzo.

After all no matter what anyone might say, but if the Uchiha Shisui really attacked Shimura Danzo with the intentions to kill, then for the Shisui with techniques Kotoamatsukami and Susanoo at his hands Danzo was nothing more than an upper Jonin, and if Shisui chooses to away put away all his scruples and decided to use all his methods, let alone Danzo, even Killing Sandaime-sama wouldn’t have been a pipe dream.

After all, he only needed to use Kotoamatsukami once and the elder council would have disappeared…
