Chapter 81: Defeating Shisui Again

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!!"

With a light shout from Yu, in the face of the fireballs spewing from the ANBU Ninja beneath his feet, a large amount of water suddenly emerged out of thin air behind Yu.

In the blink of an eye, it gathered in mid-air, forming a gigantic roaring water dragon that directly sent the ANBU Ninja and the fireballs flying.

"Although Water Release counters Fire Release... the power of this Ninjutsu..."

"Yu... it seems that after the cultivation by Lord Third Hokage, your exceptional Ninjutsu talent has been fully unleashed."

Feeling the formidable power of Yu's Water Release Ninjutsu, the ANBU Ninja, who was sent flying by the roaring water dragon along with the fireballs, revealed a bitter smile beneath the mask.

"But... you underestimate me too much..."

"And you underestimate the power of the Uchiha clan!"

However, as the words fell, in the blood-red eyes revealed by the cat-faced mask of the ANBU Ninja, a pair of black, spinning Sharingan tomoe appeared crazily.

"Splash!!"

In Yu's astonished gaze, the ANBU Ninja, who had been washed away by his Water Release, unexpectedly turned into a puddle of water!

"You actually copied my Ninjutsu?"

Seeing the Water Clone Yu in front of him, Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and the pair of blood-red Sharingan tomoe from earlier lingered in his mind.

"So that's it... the Sharingan has evolved into the double tomoe..."

"It seems you haven't been standing still either; your progress is truly remarkable."

While speaking, without turning around, Yu, using Observation Haki, had already sensed the figure that appeared behind him.

"You're too modest..."

"Speaking of rapid progress, who can match up to you, Yu?"

As the familiar voice rang out again, the ANBU Ninja appeared behind Yu. Wielding an extremely sharp short knife, he unleashed chilling cold flashes with each direct slash.

Short Knife Kenjutsu!!

The exquisite and sharp Kenjutsu, combined with the extraordinary dynamic vision of the double tomoe Sharingan, along with the extremely skilled Body Flicker Jutsu, created a Taijutsu onslaught that ordinary ninjas couldn't hope to block.

"What is this?!"

However, what surprised him was that, in the face of his fully unleashed Taijutsu attacks, Yu in front of him seemed to effortlessly anticipate all his movements, easily evading all of his attacks.

This guy actually... closed his eyes?!

Even more shockingly, a scene that left the ANBU Ninja dumbfounded unfolded—Yu in front of him not only avoided all of his attacks but also calmly closed his eyes!

"How is that possible?"

The Anbu couldn't help but utter a low exclamation; Yu's displayed strength was becoming increasingly incomprehensible to him.

"It's not impossible!"

Closing his eyes and using Observation Haki, Yu foresaw all the attacks from the ANBU Ninja in front of him.

At that moment, hearing the opponent's astonished exclamation, Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

Konoha Great Whirlwind!!

Seizing the moment when the ANBU Ninja was shocked and distracted, Yu swiftly sank his body, executed a spinning kick, and rapidly followed it up with a high roundhouse kick aimed directly at the opponent's head.

"Oh no..."

Facing the sudden sharp Taijutsu unleashed by Yu, the ANBU Ninja was taken aback. Instinctively, he swung his sharp short knife to intercept!

However, to his surprise, Yu's spinning kick turned out to be a feint. After delivering the kick, he quickly retracted and lowered his leg.

After the ANBU Ninja's sword swing missed its target, Yu swiftly pivoted, propelling his other leg with full force. A whip-like kick struck the ANBU Ninja directly in the face.

"Crack!"

After being hit on the cheek, the ANBU Ninja was sent flying, leaving a long trail on the ground.

"Yu?!"

"Who's that guy? I'll help you!"

At this moment, Might Guy in the nearby training ground was drawn to the ongoing battle.

Seeing Yu in a confrontation with an unfamiliar ANBU Ninja, he immediately rushed over to lend a hand.

"No need!"

However, Yu directly stopped him, sharp determination flashing in his eyes. "Because... it's already over!"

"Splash!"

As Yu's words fell, a continuous roar of cascading water echoed.

In his hands, a continuously spiraling, high-pressure water gun had appeared.

Water Release: Hard Vortex Water Blade!!

"What an exaggerated momentum... It's the same Ninjutsu as last time!"

Witnessing the Hard Vortex Water Blade forming in Yu's hands, Might Guy, who was rushing over, instinctively halted his steps.

He would never forget the terror of that Water Release Ninjutsu that had instantly killed over a dozen Mist Ninjas during their previous encounter.

"Are you kidding me?! That kind of Chakra nature transformation?!"

The ANBU Ninja, sent flying, stared at the high-pressure water gun in Yu's hands that kept roaring. He widened his Sharingan eyes in amazement, realizing that with his eye power, he couldn't see the attack frequency of this Ninjutsu wielded by Yu.

"What level of Water Release Ninjutsu is that? Is Yu planning to kill me?!"

"Boom!"

Before he could even resist, Yu had already thrown the Hard Vortex Water Blade in his hands.

A massive water vortex rose from the ground, directly slamming fiercely into the face of the ANBU Ninja.

The powerful rotation continued to rampage, unleashing a hurricane-like force that sent him flying like a projectile!

After the dust settled, some Ninjas who were practicing around the training ground were left sitting on the ground, stunned. They stared blankly at the now completely altered landscape – the muddy water stains and large craters all around served as constant reminders of what had just happened.

"This power..."

"It's even stronger than last time..."

Guy, standing motionless, stared blankly at the immaculate Yu at the edge of the training ground.

"Sorry for going a bit overboard, but the power of this jutsu is indeed challenging to control..."

Looking at the ANBU Ninja who had been sent flying and harshly collided with a large tree, Yu spoke with a hint of regret, but his face showed no remorse.

However, just now, he did hold back. He didn't directly target the opponent with the Hard Vortex Water Blade but aimed at the ground beneath him. Utilizing the powerful impact generated by the Hard Vortex Water Blade, he forcefully sent the opponent flying.

"Cough, cough, cough... truly an unprecedented predicament."

Coughing sounds, tinged with a bit of distress, echoed. The ANBU Ninja sat somewhat powerless under a large tree, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

The cat-faced mask on his face had shattered, revealing a sunny and handsome visage with vividly glowing crimson Sharingan with two tomoe.

Yes, it was none other than Uchiha Shisui, who had entered the ANBU directly under the Hokage's command along with Yu after graduating from the Ninja school.

"Such terrifying Water Release Ninjutsu..."

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have recognized me a long time ago, right?"

After shakily standing up from under the big tree, Shisui's expression, marked with a bitter smile, became even more pronounced.

"I didn't expect the gap between us to keep growing..."

Unexpectedly, even after executing so many high-difficulty missions in the ANBU over the past year, I still couldn't catch up to your pace..."

Shisui thought to himself with a hint of helplessness in his heart.
