If Shisui were to normally fight Uchiha Yakumi, the chakra needed to defeat him wouldn't be more than the amount used to enhance the ninja tools just now. But Shisui pursued a more impactful method to defeat the enemy, so he used this approach.
The first place winner didn't immediately enter the evaluation battle phase. Instead, the elders scored and selected the third and fourth places. Then, the elders made some comments about learning from the top four, and the evaluation battle stage followed.
Shisui was happy with this, as this time was perfect for strengthening the ability to bend spoons.
If this were an internal spar among disciples, Shisui definitely wouldn't have used such a trick approach.
But if the opponent was a family elder who harms the clan's interests for personal gain, Shisui didn't mind using minor tactics.
"Elder Seisei, please guide me," Shisui said politely.
"With your skill, there's not much I can guide you on. I'll just impart some experience honed over time," Uchiha Seisei said conservatively.
The strength Shisui displayed in his last battle indeed left Uchiha Seisei a bit puzzled.
As the battle was about to commence, all the Uchiha ninjas present were watching the battlefield, eagerly anticipating the upcoming fight.
On one side was Shisui of the Body Flicker, recently renowned among the Uchiha, and on the other was a high-ranking elder of the Uchiha Clan. Either side was intriguing to watch.
"The battle seems like it's going to be thrilling. Shisui could one-shot Yakumi with a genjutsu; for Elder Seisei to win won't be easy."
"It's hard to say. Elder Seisei, after all, is a seasoned Jonin with decades of training. Shisui's genjutsu probably won't work on him. Without his strongest skill, Shisui might struggle."
The majority of the Uchiha favored Uchiha Seisei. It's true that Shisui is a genius, but a genius who hasn't become a true powerhouse. While Uchiha Seisei might not be regarded as a powerhouse across the entire ninja world, within the circle of Uchiha Jonin, he was considered strong.
"How does your Fire Release compare to your current genjutsu?" Uchiha Inabi mused.
Before facing Shisui today, Uchiha Inabi's impression was that Shisui's best skill was Fire Release.
If Shisui's strongest ability is still Fire Release, Uchiha Inabi thought even if Uchiha Seisei could win, it would not be simple.
"Shisui, what surprises will you bring me next?" Uchiha Fugaku looked at Shisui, his mind thinking of Habu Mokgetsu who recently gained much attention.
After the night of talking with Shisui, Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a long time. He kept wondering how Shisui grew to this level. For this, he even asked Shisui's uncle, Uchiha Nobuhiro.
Ultimately, Uchiha Fugaku concluded that Mokgetsu's tutelage constitutes a significant part.
Much of Shisui's displayed abilities cannot be learned at the Ninja Academy or within the Uchiha Clan.
"Begin!"
Uchiha Seisei immediately focused chakra in his eyes to activate the Sharingan, revealing the crimson Three Tomoe Sharingan.
Shisui also activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan. However, this time, he didn't use a genjutsu as usual but thrust forward with Instant Body Jutsu.
"It seems he isn't complacent with constant victories." Uchiha Seisei also activated chakra in his legs and charged forward.
If Shisui wanted to use a genjutsu to defeat him, it would show Shisui's combat skills were lacking, relying just on brute strength.
Bam bam!!
Within half a minute, the two kept moving swiftly, colliding physically several times.
"As expected, as an elder, he isn't weak." Shisui tested and found Uchiha Seisei's Taijutsu level was not weak.
If Shisui's feelings were somewhat anticipated, then for Uchiha Seisei, it was quite the opposite and unexpected.
"His Taijutsu is also so outstanding, how does he train?" Uchiha Seisei frowned in confusion.
His original thought was that since Shisui was excellent in genjutsu and Fire Release, he wouldn't have time to train Taijutsu. The fight revealed how grossly mistaken that was. Shisui's Taijutsu was not only not weak, but his physical strength also far exceeded his peers, inexplicably strong.
Naturally, Uchiha Seisei didn't know that Shisui's breathing technique had already reached a constant state, not only making his training highly effective but also continuously enhancing his physical strength.
Eventually, Uchiha Seisei could only conclude that Shisui's talent was exceedingly monstrous, resulting in such extraordinary strength.
Realizing his original battle plan was ineffective, Uchiha Seisei adjusted his strategy, reverting to a normal combat rhythm from before.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Uchiha Seisei quickly distanced himself, formed the hand seals, gathered chakra, and spat flames towards Shisui.
An orange flame massed together, forming a massive, scorching fireball crashing towards Shisui.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
With a calm expression, Shisui followed, formed the seals, and spat flames forming a fireball.
Boom!!
The two large blazing fireballs collided, erupting into fierce firelight, terrifying flames leaping up, the dazzling firelight reflecting on the faces of the spectators from the Uchiha Clan.
The two fireballs were evenly matched, eventually dissipating together in the air, leaving only scorched ground.
Uchiha Seisei's expression shifted. Combat between identical nature transformation ninjutsu most clearly demonstrates the level of nature transformation, meaning Shisui's Fire Release was possibly on par with his own.
With most Uchiha ninjas being of fire attribute, upon witnessing this, they instinctively opened their mouths wide.
"Fire Release: Impatiens Fire Jutsu!"
Suppressing his internal emotions, Uchiha Seisei quickly engaged in battle once more.
"Fire Release: Impatiens Fire Jutsu!"
Shisui seemed to become a mirror image of Uchiha Seisei, also using the Impatiens Fire Jutsu to once again counter Uchiha Seisei's Fire Release.
