Shisui

10,000 points of chakra! This was no trivial number. A typical Jōnin's chakra limit was only 5000 points. At this moment, Kazuya had just picked up the equivalent of two Kakashi units of chakra. Burst! The sky seemed to rain golden light as he absorbed the chakra on the battlefield.

Ninjas were constantly injured, blown up by ninjutsu, or thrown aside by kunai. The hand-to-hand combat among over 200 elite ninjas was brutal from the start.

"Such a pity," Kazuya thought. "Most ninjas still focus on physical combat. There aren't many who use ninjutsu to attack."

But given the chaotic nature of the battle, it was understandable. Allies and enemies were so intermixed that using a Great Fireball Technique could just as easily harm friends as foes. Ninjutsu didn't discriminate, so using it recklessly in a melee could lead to friendly fire. Anyone attempting it would quickly find their own comrades turning against them.

In the midst of the chaos, a dark figure suddenly rushed to the front lines of Konoha's melee troops. The figure had dark hair and the scarlet Three Tomoe Sharingan. It was Uchiha Shisui.

"Fire Style! Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" Shisui leaped into the air, hurling kunai wreathed in phoenix fire at the Cloud Shinobi below. The kunai exploded on impact, creating clouds of smoke and dust. Instantly, three Cloud Chūnin were killed.

"That Sharingan... It's Uchiha Shisui from Konoha!" the Cloud Shinobi cried in horror. They weren't afraid of enemies of the same level, but Shisui was a different story.

"Uchiha Style: Halo Dance!" Shisui's assault continued. Flames danced along the blade of his long knife as he slashed through the enemy ranks with incredible speed. Each swing of his blade sent shockwaves through the battlefield, and even the Cloud Jōnin struggled to withstand his attacks, while the Chūnin were quickly cut down.

As Shisui fought, other Uchiha ninjas joined the fray. Ten Jōnin with fully activated Sharingan and thirty Chūnin with various stages of Sharingan surged into battle, dramatically shifting the momentum in favor of Konoha. Other Uchiha ninjas stood by, ready to retrieve the bodies of their fallen comrades to prevent the Sharingan from falling into enemy hands.

While the battle raged on, golden light clusters fell from the Uchiha ninjas' bodies.

Kazuya felt a surge of cool energy in his eyes as the energy from the golden light clusters strengthened and transformed them. His eyes turned scarlet, evolving into the One Tomoe Sharingan. He now possessed both the body and the eyes of the immortal.

"Unbelievable..." Kazuya muttered, suppressing his Sharingan as he looked towards Shisui. He was impressed. The legendary Shisui of the Body Flicker was not only an incredibly kind-hearted ninja but also a formidable ally who had inadvertently given Kazuya a tremendous gift.

"Keep going! Great Fireball! Two more slashes! Keep the Sharingan active! Just use ninjutsu and crush those Cloud Shinobi!" Kazuya observed from the edge of the battlefield, urging Shisui on with a mixture of awe and excitement.

Suddenly, the battlefield shifted. A figure darted through the fray, and two Uchiha Jōnin were sent flying.

"What speed!" Kazuya heard someone exclaim. "Even the Sharingan can't track it!"

"It's her! The Two-Tails Jinchūriki is here! Everyone be careful!" Panic spread through Konoha's ranks.

In front of Shisui stood a striking ninja with long beige hair. Sharp, cat-like claws extended from her fingers, giving her an intimidating presence. It was Yugito Nii, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki.

"Shisui, you will pay for the lives of my comrades!" Yugito roared. She vanished and reappeared in front of Shisui in an instant, attacking with her claws.

Clang! Shisui's long knife met her claws, sparks flying. "Your speed is nothing compared to my Sharingan!" Shisui declared.

Yugito snorted. "We'll see about that!" A blue chakra tail appeared behind her, signaling the beginning of her Tailed Beast Transformation. The battlefield erupted as Shisui and Yugito clashed at blinding speeds, their figures barely visible, only the gusts of wind marking their passage.

The surrounding ninjas, recognizing the danger, quickly retreated from the center of the battlefield.

"Who is this Konoha ninja who can keep up with Lord Yugito?" a Cloud Shinobi wondered in shock.

"It's Shisui!" another answered. "My God, it's terrifying!"

Yugito was second only to Raikage in Cloud Shinobi Village, and two days ago, she had severely injured the Uchiha clan's patriarch. Yet here was Shisui, holding his own against her.

From a distance, Kazuya's eyes gleamed with interest. Yugito Nii, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, had finally appeared. She was a fascinating opponent, and in the original plot, she was ambushed and killed by the Akatsuki duo, Hidan and Kakuzu.

"How absurd," Kazuya thought. "An assassin-type Jinchūriki killed by two mages. Perhaps Hidan had some extra intel."

Lost in thought, Kazuya didn't notice several masked Cloud Shinobi Anbu closing in on him.
