Chapter 203: Another Confrontation

"Indeed, it's you... I can't find any flaws at all."

Above the small stream, the two strongest ninjas of their generation in Konoha stood facing each other. Shisui, with his eerie three-tomoe Sharingan, firmly locked onto Yu in front of him, couldn't help but admire.

Although Shisui's strength had already stepped into the threshold of a Kage after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, his aura temporarily couldn't compare to Yu, who had emerged from the carnage of battlefields.

"You're not bad yourself..."

"At least within the Uchiha Clan of Konoha in this era, there's no ninja stronger than you."

Feeling the immense pressure emanating from Shisui's three-tomoe Sharingan at all times, Yu's sharp gaze met it without backing down.

Although it was unknown what Shisui had experienced in the past few years, or how he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, what couldn't be denied was that aside from Uchiha Obito, who was manipulated by Uchiha Madara, Shisui had become the strongest ninja of the Uchiha Clan in this era, without a doubt.

"You flatter me... At least compared to you, I still recognize there's a gap."

Hearing Yu's praise, Shisui modestly replied, his hands already swiftly forming six seals in front of him. "Are you ready? Here I go! Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!!"

The battle was about to begin.

With Shisui's words, a powerful surge of Fire Release chakra gathered at the back of his throat, and in an instant, a massive, house-sized blazing fireball burst forth, illuminating the entire stream before them.

Although Fire Release was a basic ninjutsu learned by ninjas of the Uchiha clan, the attack range of the Great Fireball Jutsu could change depending on the amount of chakra. The technique unleashed by Shisui could even turn the ground into ashes!

Seals were formed so quickly...

Witnessing Shisui's rapid hand seals and the immense power of his Fire Release, Yu couldn't help but admire inwardly, though his own movements didn't falter in the slightest.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!!"

Utilizing the aquatic environment beneath their feet, the power unleashed by Yu's Water Release seemed even more unimaginable.

In the air, numerous streams of water spontaneously emerged, swiftly converging into a massive and rampaging water dragon. It fiercely collided with the enormous fireball released by Shisui, generating a vast amount of steam upon impact.

"Such formidable Fire Release and Water Release..."

"As expected, both of them are monsters. Is this the intensity of their battle right from the start?"

Watching Yu and Shisui clash with such rapid and fierce Ninjutsu upon their first encounter, Anko, who was observing nearby, couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"No, that's not ordinary Water Release..."

However, at that moment, standing beside Anko, Itachi suddenly widened his Sharingan, the pitch-black double tomoe spinning wildly within, "That guy actually mixed Lightning Release into the Water Release!"

Combination Jutsu: Lightning Water Dragon Bullet!!

!

Indeed, as soon as Itachi's words fell, within the hazy mist before them, a sudden roar of a dragon resounded.

To their amazement, atop the colossal water dragon unleashed by Yu, there was a layer of raging lightning, which engulfed Shisui in an instant!

"So powerful!!"

Itachi, who was watching from the side, was completely stunned by Yu's incredibly powerful Combination Jutsu that seemed unstoppable.

Indeed, having been mentored by the renowned Ninjutsu Professor, the Third Hokage, aside from Thread Fruit and Puppetry Jutsu, Yu had never ceased his training in Ninjutsu over the years.

Especially considering Yu's innate talent for Ninjutsu, coupled with his diligent practice, it could be said that his achievements in Ninjutsu were even commendable enough for the Third Hokage's approval.

"Caw Caw..."

However, accompanied by a chilling cry, numerous black feathers fell to the ground.

Shisui, who had been engulfed by Yu's Lightning Water Dragon Bullet released before their eyes, had suddenly transformed into countless crows, scattering in all directions.

Crows, huh...

Yu, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

He knew that Shisui usually kept many crows and had developed various Ninjutsu techniques with them. These crows were very loyal to their master and were important companions to Shisui. The kind of Ninjutsu involving these crows had also been passed down to Itachi by Shisui (after Shisui's death, these crows were all taken care of by Itachi).

"Since you're my opponent... I won't be so careless!!"

Immediately after, Yu felt a gust of wind blowing beside him. Shisui swiftly activated the Body Flicker Jutsu, rapidly approaching. In the blink of an eye, numerous fleeting Clones appeared in the air.

"Such an impressive Body Flicker Jutsu, truly worthy of the name 'Body Flicker Shisui.'"

Just as Yu was about to defend against an attack from one Shisui in front of him, another Shisui attacked from behind, and even dozens of other Shisui around him simultaneously launched their assaults.

In an instant, reality and illusion intertwined. Even Yu's Observation Haki couldn't discern which one among the numerous Shisui around him was the real body. The two root members that were Jonin were just defeated in an instant by Shisui's Body Flicker Jutsu.

"I see... They have no physical form, yet at the same time, you could say they are all real bodies."

Feeling the pressure from the simultaneous attacks launched by dozens of Shisui surrounding him, even Yu couldn't help but sense a strong pressure at this moment. Within his amber-colored pupils, there flickered an inexplicable starlight.

"By utilizing Wind Release Body Flicker to its extreme speed, it creates a similar effect to multiple Shadow Clones. As soon as the opponent attacks or resists any one of the Shadow Clones, they instantly reveal a vulnerability and are subject to attacks from the surrounding Clones."

"Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!!"

Yu's brain instantly analyzed the Ninjutsu that Shisui was using. Faced with the onslaught from dozens of Shisui surrounding him, Yu released Chidori Current without hesitation.

The violent and brilliant electric current erupted madly from his body, yet it effortlessly pierced through all the attacking Shadow Clones of Shisui surrounding him, causing no effect whatsoever.

"To analyze the nature of my Body Flicker Jutsu so quickly..."

Upon seeing Yu instantly discern the essence of his Wind Release-enhanced Body Flicker Jutsu, Shisui's voice sighed once again over the water's surface, "Exactly, every one of these Clones is an illusion created by my rapid movement!!"

Clang!!

Just as the raging electric current of Chidori Current ceased for a moment, a stunningly bright flash of a blade had already blossomed before Yu.

Too fast!!

Before even the consciousness of reaction could arise, the blade had swung before him. Yu's skin felt the icy coldness of the blade's edge, and he couldn't help but admire Shisui's reputation as the "Body Flicker Shisui". He was undoubtedly the fastest user of Body Flicker Jutsu Yu had encountered so far, without question.

He wondered who would be faster between Shisui and the former Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze, in terms of their Body Flicker Jutsu.

As Shisui's blade light approached, Yu's mind wandered.

Crackle!!

At the critical moment, a dazzling burst of lightning suddenly erupted from Yu's body, and he vanished in an instant from his original position.

He utilized the powerful Lightning Release Chakra generated by the earlier Lightning Release: Chidori Stream to stimulate his body cells, intensifying his bodily activity, and thus executed a potent Lightning Release Body Flicker Jutsu to dodge!
