The martial arts tournament venue was as noisy as a vegetable market at this moment.
The audience was discussing and analyzing the outcome of the final in great earnest.
"It seems that Shisui's victory is already a foregone conclusion..."
"He who possesses the Sharingan is not at the same level as the ninja school students."
"No way, you don't still think Asuma is an ordinary ninja school student?"
"Did you hear? Shisui actually learned that breathing method as well, so he was able to make up for the age gap with the senior students."
"Eh? Doesn't Asuma's wind escape just counter the breathing method?"
"As one gains, the other loses. Maybe Asuma will gain the upper hand..."
"But Asuma just injured his left shoulder, and he doesn't have much chakra..."
"Isn't it the same for Shisui? Looking at his appearance, he has very little chakra left..."
"Asuma will win!"
"Shisui is the ultimate winner."
The audience continued to argue like this, and no one could convince anyone else.
However, the name and effects of the breathing method have become increasingly well-known.
Of course, Hideki was happy to see this happen. Only the third breathing method user was a little dissatisfied...
"Damn it, everyone is talking about Asuma and Shisui and the others."
"No one remembers my wonderful performance just now."
Obito was complaining to Rin with envy and jealousy on his face.
"Especially Shisui, who actually awakened his Sharingan under the watchful eyes of everyone. Why can't I get such a good thing?"
Rin didn't say much, but just listened to Obito's endless complaints with a smile on her face.
However, Kurenai on the side had a complicated expression.
"Sharingan…"
She lost to Shisui yesterday, and she finally managed to cheer herself up and prepared to work hard, at least not to lose to Shisui in the field of illusion.
She didn't expect that God would play such a big joke on her today.
First, Shisui, who had easily crushed her before, was actually at a disadvantage in the illusion duel with Tetsuka, making her look a little ridiculous for losing to Shisui.
Then Shisui successfully turned the tables by relying on the Sharingan that could amplify the power of illusions, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
This time, she really couldn't even see Shisui's back...
This forced Kurenai to ask herself:
If she continues to learn illusion techniques step by step as before, will she really be able to catch up with Shisui?
Should I give up this unrealistic idea and find a more suitable target to pursue?
Half an hour passed quickly, and Hideki returned to the ring and announced:
"Then the finals are about to begin. Both contestants, please come to the stage."
So, amid the enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience, Asuma and Shisui lightly jumped onto the ring.
Asuma turned his still not very flexible left shoulder and looked at Shisui vigilantly, apparently having entered combat mode.
However, what he was thinking at this moment was:
"Damn it, Shisui was so ruthless yesterday, using genjutsu to easily defeat Kurenai. I thought they were doomed for sure."
"I didn't expect Kurenai just tried so hard to cheer for Shisui. Even I don't get such treatment..."
"As expected, we still can't take this kid lightly."
"I must follow the original plan and defeat him to let Kurenai know how powerful I am!"
Asuma estimated that he had about one-third of his chakra left, and said to Shisui,
"I don't have much chakra left, so I don't have the energy to test you, so I will use my full strength at the beginning."
"Don't lose to me because of your carelessness."
"Otherwise it would be meaningless if I won."
"Actually, I have the same plan..."
Shisui said with a slightly serious expression.
He had consumed too much chakra in the illusion duel with Elder Setsuna, and his body was extremely tired after awakening the Sharingan.
Therefore, the previous plan to fight a protracted war can no longer be implemented.
We must fight quickly and defeat Asuma before the effects of the breathing technique are affected.
Does the victory depend on the newly acquired eye technique?
No, the remaining chakra is probably only enough to perform one eye technique, and Asuma must be prepared.
If we fail, there will be nothing we can do. The risk is too great.
It seems that this is the only trick I can use...
Shisui turned his head to look at Hideki and said,
"Teacher, I want to use the unfinished move. I hope to get your permission."
Hideki was slightly stunned when he heard this, then frowned and said,
"Is this necessary?"
"This is just a small competition within the school. There is no need to use such dangerous moves."
"It doesn't matter. I now have the confidence to master this technique."
Shisui said with a firm face,
"More importantly, I have a reason not to lose."
In fact, Brother Fugaku had just found him and told him about Elder Setsuna.
Although he promised that even if Shisui lost, he would not let Setsuna succeed.
But Shisui was already aware of Elder Setsuna's madness, and knew that only by winning this game could the Uchiha clan avoid internal friction.
Seeing Shisui's serious expression, Hideki thought about the last battle and knew there must be something hidden, so he said thoughtfully,
"Ten seconds."
"Even if you can master this technique, it will still be very taxing on your body."
"In order to avoid damaging your foundation, I can only allow you to activate this technique for ten seconds."
"If you don't stop when the time is up, I will end the game and declare you the loser."
"Can you accept this, Shisui?"
Shisui lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said,
"I accept."
"Wait, Mr. Hideki!"
Asuma on the side couldn't help but interrupt,
"You underestimate me too much. How could I be defeated by Shisui in ten seconds?"
Hideki shrugged and said,
"A fight between real ninjas is often over in a flash."
"Ten seconds is enough to take into account that this is a practice match and I can't use a move that can kill with one blow."
Then Hideki used the PA system to give a friendly reminder to the audience:
"It seems that the two contestants have decided to use their ultimate moves to decide the winner from the beginning because they don't have much chakra."
"Everyone, please don't be distracted. The outcome may be decided in just a dozen seconds!"
The audience perked up upon hearing this, opened their eyes wide, leaned forward, and made every effort to not miss any details.
So after the two of them made opposing seals, Hideki also announced loudly:
"The first Ninja School First Martial Arts Tournament Finals..."
"Asuma Sarutobi VS Uchiha Shisui, the battle... begins!"
As soon as the game started, Asuma took a big leap back and quickly formed seals with both hands.
If you look closely, you will find that this kid has closed his eyes tightly to avoid being hit by Shisui's eye technique.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough... Storm Breathing Technique!"
Asuma completed the seal at the same time as he landed, puffed up his cheeks and spit out forcefully!
Whoosh!
A gust of wind suddenly blew up on the ring.
Perhaps because there was no need to blow out the flames, Asuma performed the Storm Breathing Technique much faster this time than before.
Soon, strong winds swirled around him, constantly pumping the surrounding air into his body like an exhaust fan, and the wind became stronger and stronger.
It seemed that within a few seconds, his Storm Breathing Technique would be fully formed.
Next, he only needs to get close to Shisui to reduce the efficiency of his breathing method through wind speed and easily crush the opponent.
On the other hand, Shisui seemed to just be standing there, staring blankly at Asuma's performance.
"Storm Breathing Technique..."
"As expected, Wind Style and Breathing Technique have a great compatibility. Just a simple combination can produce such a good effect."
There was a hint of envy in Shisui's eyes.
The fire escape technique that he is best at is too violent. It may not be easy to completely combine it with the breathing method. It still needs to be developed by Teacher Hideki.
Fortunately, the second type of nature change he was developing recently happened to have a good compatibility with the breathing method...
If you get closer to Shisui at this moment, you can hear his heart beating.
At the same time, there was also the faint sound of gurgling liquid flowing rapidly...
Then, Shisui's skin gradually blossomed like a rose, with dots of bright red appearing...
They spread rapidly, turning his body red, contrasting with his equally blood-red eyes.
Shisui then took a fighting stance and whispered softly:
"Although it is an unfinished dangerous ninjutsu..."
"But in order to follow the path of my own choice..."
"In order to prevent the tragic future predicted by Elder Setsuna from becoming a reality..."
"I must use the power of this move... to enter the second stage of the Five Elements Breathing Method..."
"——Water Breathing Technique!"
Swish!
Shisui's figure flashed and suddenly disappeared on the stage.
At the same time, Hideki began to count down in his heart:
"ten..."
