Near the frozen canyon.

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!

It wasn't without reason that Kisame was called the 'Tailless Tailed Beast'. His chakra reserves were comparable to those of a tailed beast!

An A-rank jutsu, in his hands, had power approaching S-rank! Its range was enormous! Instantly, a huge lake appeared around the entire canyon!

Water Release: Super Exploding Water Shockwave!

Kisame's hands were constantly forming seals — not a single one missed! The enormous lake immediately converged into a spherical water ball, surrounding both himself and Shisui's Susanoo!

In this environment, Kisame was truly in his element!

"How can this guy have so much chakra?" Shisui marveled while controlling his Susanoo.

He had only activated his Mangekyo Sharingan a short while ago. At present, he could only manifest Susanoo up to its third stage, and maintain it for only a very short time.

Moreover, Shisui was only in his Mangekyo Sharingan state — not the Eternal Mangekyo. Using these abilities was enormously taxing on his mind!

"Don't look at his eyes, constantly pay attention to the chakra flow in your body..." Despite reaching a frenzied state of battle, Kisame hadn't forgotten Yusuke's pre-fight instructions.

On the other side, Shisui's Susanoo was trapped in this water prison. He continuously disrupted the water flow before him, creating a gap.

Then, his eyes locked onto in the target in the distance. Controlling Susanoo, three jet-black tomoe slowly appeared on its right hand!

Sensing the immense power of this attack, Kisame's hands swiftly formed seals!

Susanoo: Yasaka Magatama!

Shisui forcefully controlled Susanoo's right hand, hurling the three huge floating magatama towards Kisame. The jet-black magatama spun wildly, resembling a three-tomoe Sharingan.

Waves of terrifying energy emanated from them continuously. If this attack were to hit, it would be fatal or at least severely crippling.

Kisame didn't dare to be careless. After completing his hand seals, he forcefully pushed forward!

Water Release: Super Shark Bomb Jutsu!

In an instant, the water before him coalesced into a massive shark. The giant shark opened its abyssal maw, charging fiercely towards the approaching Yasaka Magatama!

A clash of titans! Neither side held back!

The impact of the battle began to affect the frozen canyon.

At this moment, on the giant ice pillar platform, Minato observed the battle within the distant water sphere.

Seeing Shisui's powerful technique, a glimmer of hope rose in his eyes. Though defeated by Yusuke, if Shisui could win, there might still be a chance for salvation!

If only he could destroy the sealing scroll on his body! Then he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique and escape!

As for the other fighting ninja...

'Once I return to the village, I'll report your heroic sacrifices to the Hokage!' Minato's eyes brimmed with hope.

"You don't really think Shisui can win, do you?" Yusuke saw through his thoughts and sneered.

Minato gritted his teeth, not daring to answer. Otherwise, he'd get slapped again...

Slap——!!

A crisp slap suddenly rang out!

Minato's already swollen face puffed up even more.

He was stunned, staring at the other in bewilderment.

"You're thinking, 'Why did he hit me when I didn't say anything,' right?" Yusuke's lips curled into a slight arc. He smiled brightly, "Sorry. I hit you because I want to hit you. No reason at all. You can be unhappy about it. But you can only swallow your anger."

Rage! Great rage! Uncontrollable fury!

Minato's face turned beet red from holding back his anger. His eyes looked as if they wanted to devour Yusuke alive.

But even so, he still chose not to speak. Right now, all the chakra in his body was completely sealed. In his current state, he was just an ordinary person. Moreover, his physical strength was continuously being drained.

Even a lowly genin could easily overpower him.

Bang!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Clang——!!!

The frozen rocks surrounding the ice-sealed canyon shuddered. They cracked and fell off the cliff in a cascade. The huge lake shook violently, ripples spreading in all directions.

The supposedly unbreakable giant water prison, under the collision of Kisame and Shisui, burst open! Water immediately filled the canyon, forming a lake once again.

"Indeed very strong!" Kisame panted, staring at Shisui who had landed on the water surface not far away.

That last attack had left neither Shisui nor Kisame with an advantage.

Shisui steadily controlled his Susanoo to land on the water surface.

"That guy... he's just like a tailed beast..." If he didn't have the Mangekyo Sharingan, Shisui would have thought he was fighting an actual tailed beast.

However, he knew he had to end this quickly!

The dark green Susanoo attached to Shisui's body grew even taller! Dense dark green armor continuously covered its outer layer.

Susanoo: Third Form!
