·Chapter 13
"Uchiha Yuta, you really have some skills..."
Staring at Yuta, who now seemed like a beast unleashed, Uchiha Shisui's expression turned serious. "I want to know—what is your ninja way?"
"My ninja way? To become the strongest in the ninja world."
Hearing this, Shisui let out a quiet sigh.
"As expected... Those chosen by the Will of Fire often walk a lonely path, misunderstood and isolated. Uchiha Yuta, you may never understand the ideals and vision that the Will of Fire grants us. But I still have work to do."
Shisui's eyes sharpened, and without another word, he moved.
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
With a burst of chakra, he rapidly formed hand seals and exhaled a massive fire dragon, which roared toward Yuta with incredible speed.
"Break!"
Yuta clenched his right fist, his body tensing as he threw a devastating punch forward.
CRACK!
The air itself seemed to split as his fist connected with the blazing dragon. In an instant, the flames shattered into scattered embers, dissipating into the wind.
"Impossible!"
Shisui's eyes widened in disbelief.
No chakra fluctuations... Just raw physical strength...
"Surprised?" Yuta's voice was calm. "Finger Gun!"
Before Shisui could react, Yuta had already appeared behind him, thrusting a single finger towards his back.
Poof!
The moment Yuta's attack landed, Shisui's body vanished in a puff of white smoke. A shadow clone.
From behind, Shisui's voice rang out.
"Uchiha-ryu: Kenyueyan!"
Yuta barely turned in time to see Shisui slashing down with his katana, flames trailing the blade.
Without hesitation, Yuta activated his Armament Haki. His fist, now covered in a dense black sheen, shot forward to meet the blade.
CLANG!
A deafening impact echoed as their attacks collided. The sheer force sent out a shockwave, cracking the ground beneath them and leaving fractures on the First Hokage's monument.
Shisui's expression darkened. "This... This strength is unreal."
Even as someone who had fought the AB Combination—the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee—Shisui had never faced pure physical strength like this. No chakra enhancement, no lightning armor—just raw, terrifying might.
But he wasn't done yet.
"Uchiha-ryu: Tempest Blade!"
Shisui vanished again, reappearing behind Yuta with his katana poised to release a devastating crescent-shaped flame slash.
"Rankyaku!" Yuta countered instantly.
Jumping into the air, he delivered a powerful kick, unleashing a vacuum blade of wind that met Shisui's attack head-on.
BOOM!
The two forces collided, creating a chaotic explosion of wind and fire. One stray shockwave struck the Hokage Rock, carving a deep scar into the First Hokage's monument.
CRACK…
A deep rumbling followed as the entire face of the First Hokage's statue trembled, fractures spreading across the rock.
"Oh no..." Shisui's eyes widened. "The Hokage Rock—it's going to collapse!"
"Move!" Yuta ordered.
Both warriors flashed away just as the structure gave way.
BOOOOOM!
The monument of the First Hokage crumbled, sending massive chunks of rock crashing down onto the village outskirts. The tremors shook Konoha, drawing the attention of every shinobi nearby.
In the shadows, the ANBU, Root members, and even hidden Uchiha observers were left in shock.
"This... is beyond a normal battle..."
"Uchiha Yuta's strength... It's monstrous."
"Did he just destroy a part of the Hokage Rock? With pure physical power?!"
At that moment, in the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a long breath, watching through his crystal ball.
"His raw power is unlike anything I've seen in Konoha before..."
Danzo, seated nearby, smirked as he turned his gaze toward Shisui.
"Interesting... But Shisui is still our greatest asset."
Meanwhile, Shisui and Yuta stood across from each other, both unharmed but clearly measuring one another.
A smirk played on Yuta's lips.
"Well? Is that enough of a test, Shisui?"
Shisui took a deep breath, gripping his katana tighter.
"Not yet... Show me more, Uchiha Yuta!"
