Chapter 16 Focusing on Itachi
"The only things that limit you now are your strength and arm length." Shisui commented.
At the same time, I pondered in my heart.
Itachi is only five years old, but he has such a level of fighting skills, which is enough to show his talent.
And progress is fast.
We were clearly being suppressed by him last week, but now, we are able to actively look for opportunities to attack.
"However, this little bit of progress cannot be considered a breakthrough," Shisui thought to himself.
clang!
At this moment, Itachi's eyes suddenly changed, lighting up with a bright red blood light.
"What?" Shisui was shocked.
At the same time, Itachi's movements became swifter.
Bang bang bang!
He swung his sword violently and actually caught Shisui's three attacks steadily without being repelled.
Swish!
Instead, he still had enough energy to cut Shisui's wrist with a kunai.
"Sharingan!!" Shisui looked extremely surprised and quickly dodged, avoiding Itachi's kunai cut.
But Itachi refused to give in and continued to chase.
The kunai in his hand was like a poisonous snake, chasing Shisui like a shadow.
The situation changed drastically in an instant.
Itachi went from being at a disadvantage to being able to fight back and forth with Shisui.
"You actually opened your eyes!" Shisui said in shock, and at the same time became serious.
Uchiha with eyes opened, and Uchiha without eyes opened.
The strength is so different.
"I luckily awakened yesterday morning while training." Itachi smiled slightly, his hands never stopping, and the kunai continued to attack Shisui in a tricky way.
Ding ding ding!!
There were frequent collision sounds.
The kunai of both sides collided more than ten times within a few seconds.
Shisui's expression turned slightly serious.
He was no longer at ease, but responded to Itachi's attacks very seriously.
boom!!
The two kunai slashed together violently, and then both broke.
Itachi and Shisui stopped their movements at the same time, took a half step back, and formed and released hand seals.
"I'm still not as good as you, Brother Shisui." Itachi sighed, "Even though I've opened my Sharingan, I can only be as good as you."
"This is already an exaggeration, okay!" Shisui said unhappily.
He is almost ten years older than Itachi!
A ten-year age difference means a huge difference in strength, arm length, physical strength and speed in adolescence!
But with the help of a magatama Sharingan.
Itachi managed to make up for the gap and fought back and forth with Shisui.
This is incredible!
There is a reason why the Sharingan is called the top bloodline in the ninja world!
"What surprises me even more is that, Itachi, you actually awakened the Sharingan..." Shisui looked at Itachi in admiration and said with emotion: "You are only five years old."
"The fastest record of eye opening in my family was at the age of eight more than a hundred years ago."
"That person finally awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Shisui said this with a worried look on his face.
Five years old is too early.
It's too genius to open your eyes at this age.
It will attract the enemy's attention and cause them to be targeted.
"In that case, it seems that I also have a chance to awaken the Mangekyō." Itachi smiled happily.
Shisui frowned and said, "Itachi, does the clan leader know that you have awakened the Sharingan?"
"Father and mother both know about it. They said there's no need to hide it and to show it openly!" Itachi nodded in response.
"What?!" Shisui's expression changed drastically.
Not only is it not hidden, but it is displayed to the outside world?
What is the patriarch thinking?
Did he want Itachi to die young?
"Brother Shisui, father said that the family right now needs good news to boost morale, so..." Itachi pretended to be helpless and secretly apologized to Shisui in his heart.
In fact, the real plan is to use him to attract attention.
Cover for Sasuke.
Revealing to Shisui that he had awakened the Sharingan was the first step in the plan.
This plan was top secret, Itachi carved the curse seal himself and arranged the sealing technique in his mind.
No one can reveal it.
"This..." Shisui frowned, his face worried, "Itachi, you better be careful."
"Don't worry, Brother Shisui." Itachi smiled confidently.
Shisui could only sigh helplessly.
He opened his eyes at the age of 8 and was promoted to the third magatama at the age of 13.
I don't know how many times I have been targeted and attacked on the battlefield of Kirigakure.
If it weren't for some luck and the care of my family, I would have died long ago.
"Let's continue training." Itachi changed the subject.
"Okay." Shisui nodded and put his thoughts away.
He guided Itachi's training more seriously.
I hope Itachi's strength can be a little stronger so he has a better chance of saving his life.
…
…
Half a month later.
During a training session at a public training ground, Itachi used the Sharingan and was seen by several ninjas who were also training.
This disappearance spread instantly throughout the ninja community of Konoha.
"Have you heard that Uchiha Itachi has awakened the Sharingan!"
"Hiss, he's only five years old, right?"
"Yeah, at this age, his talent is ridiculous!"
"So the Kyuubi that night..."
"Hehe, maybe it was Fugaku who did it!"
"That makes sense. His son is so talented, so he must be a good father!"
Many people gnashed their teeth and cast suspicious eyes on Fugaku.
Itachi is not the only target to attract attention.
The obvious target is Uchiha Itachi.
The secret target is Uchiha Fugaku.
The two of them attracted attention for Sasuke.
"Why didn't the Third Master order his arrest?"
"There is no evidence..."
"What evidence do you need? Who didn't see the power of the Sharingan that night?"
Some people were furious and directly identified Fugaku as the murderer.
