<><><><><><>

In an instant, Shisui's mind flashed with ideas on how to deal with Kagero. 

Simultaneously, Kagero had several thoughts crossing his mind, a mix of surprise at Shisui's reaction and a hint of ease.

The reason for Kagero's relief was that Shisui's attack just now did not showcase his flash-like speed. 

This indirectly indicated that Shisui's skill was either not well-mastered or had strict activation conditions, rendering it ineffective in direct combat.

Regardless of the circumstances, this was good news for Kagero. 

If Shisui's terrifying speed couldn't be applied in a head-on fight, his threat level significantly decreased. 

Thinking this, a sense of relief briefly crossed Kagero's face.

"What's your name? The Uchiha clan surprisingly produced such a talented individual!" 

A flash of relief passed, but Kagero remained cautious towards Shisui. Therefore, he asked Shisui, attempting to buy more time. 

However, Shisui, who was in a hurry, wouldn't fall for such a basic trick.

"Uchiha Shisui!" He replied coldly, disappearing from his original position. 

Uttering his name was merely a distraction, diverting the enemy's attention and facilitating his attack. 

Using language to disrupt an opponent's thoughts was a basic ninja technique.

As expected, in the next second, Shisui suddenly appeared in front of Kagero. 

With the flash of the short blade in his hand, Shisui once again slashed towards Kagero. 

However, Kagero, seemingly aware, instantly activated the liquefaction mode, causing Shisui's attack to miss once more.

Unperturbed by this, Shisui swiftly moved away, evading Kagero's counterattack. 

Naturally, Kagero wouldn't stand still, becoming an easy target for Shisui's assault. 

As Shisui's attack was missed, Kagero once again employed the Hozuki clan's secret technique, the Water Iron Cannon.

Powerful water droplets, resembling bullets, shot rapidly toward Shisui. 

Fortunately, Shisui reacted quickly, repeatedly dodging Kagero's attacks. 

With each clash, the surrounding environment suffered continuous destruction, yet they still couldn't prevail over each other.

However, things would eventually take a turn. 

As Shisui's Senjutsu chakra in his body was depleted and his shadow clone, sent to absorb natural energy, had not yet been released, Shisui's strength weakened abruptly. 

Shisui intentionally arranged this, as he wanted to present an opening to Kagero later on.

Indeed, as Shisui's momentum diminished, Kagero's eyes lit up. Nevertheless, being experienced and wise, Kagero wouldn't act recklessly. 

Although Shisui now appeared weak, Kagero was still wary, fearing Shisui might be playing tricks.

Therefore, even though Shisui's momentum weakened, Kagero patiently endured, refraining from launching a full-scale attack immediately. 

However, after a few more exchanges between the two, Kagero noticed that Shisui's apparent weakness might not be a facade. 

He genuinely felt that Shisui's strength had indeed decreased significantly.

Currently, Shisui's attacks are easier to defend against compared to earlier. 

Surprisingly, Kagero's attacks were starting to trouble Shisui, completely deviating from the casual stroll they had initially. 

Could it be that Shisui was genuinely in a weakened state now?

Kagero pondered with some confusion, and the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. 

After all, Shisui looked to be just eight years old. 

Even if someone was a prodigy, it was implausible to touch the threshold of Jonin-level skills at such a young age. 

If that were the case, how could Shisui, a Uchiha, have reached a level that surpassed everyone's expectations at such a young age? 

It would be a considerable blow to the face of Kagero and, no, the entire ninja world.

In this line of thought, the young Uchiha's recent display of strength was undoubtedly due to forbidden techniques. 

While Kagero was unsure of the side effects, a forbidden jutsu couldn't be used again in such a short time. 

Accepting this "fact," Kagero suddenly glared at Shisui, revealing a dangerous, fierce expression.

"Brat, you were so arrogant just now, and now it seems you're unable to keep it up! Prepare to meet your end!" 

Arrogant thoughts flashed through Kagero's mind, and he immediately mobilized his chakra. 

Adjusting his breathing, he launched several water bullets at Shisui after completing the Water Release jutsu.

Of course, Kagero knew these water bullets wouldn't cause any significant harm to Shisui. 

So, right after performing the ninjutsu, Kagero gripped his kunai and rushed directly towards Shisui.

Due to their previous battle, Shisui had refrained from using genjutsu until now, making Kagero subconsciously believe that Shisui, the Uchiha prodigy, was not proficient in genjutsu. 

Therefore, underestimating Shisui, Kagero locked eyes with him. But how could Shisui not be adept at genjutsu?

He had laid the groundwork for this moment. "Genjutsu: Hell Viewing !" With Shisui's move, Kagero, who was charging towards him, suddenly froze. 

Realizing he had been careless, Kagero swiftly broke free from the Genjutsu. 

From being under the genjutsu to breaking free, Kagero took less than half a second. 

He felt quite pleased with himself. After all, breaking free from a Uchiha's genjutsu so quickly was a matter of pride.

However, even if Shisui gave him something to boast about, it didn't mean Shisui would go easy on him. 

After breaking free from the Genjutsu, Kagero's speed did not diminish as he charged fiercely towards Shisui.

At this moment, fear was written all over Shisui's face in the eyes of Kagero, as if he couldn't comprehend why Kagero could break free from the genjutsu so quickly. 

Seeing Shisui's expression of terror, a wicked smile appeared on Kagero's face, full of satisfaction and cruelty.

He could sense Shisui's fear towards him, and it filled his heart with immense satisfaction. 

After all, this was the prodigy of the Uchiha clan, and in the next moment, this genius was about to meet his demise at Kagero's hands. 

Without a hint of hesitation, Kagero's kunai, held in hand, went straight for Shisui's neck.

At this moment, Shisui appeared like a frightened child, completely devoid of any movement.

Splurt

A sense of ease flashed in Kagero's eyes because he had successfully slashed Shisui's artery. 

A large amount of blood gushed out from Shisui's neck. Extending his hands, Kagero intended to retrieve the Sharingan he had captured from Shisui. 

However, at that very moment, excruciating pain erupted from his chest, tearing through his heart.
