Naruto World Through Tenseigan - Chapter 29
Hyuga Kyo’s mindset was excellent at this moment. In this situation, Shisui definitely wouldn’t use his Mangekyo Sharingan or any Mangekyo-related dojutsu.
Therefore, it was all about the basics!
Hyuga Kyo had more chakra than Shisui and possessed the Tenseigan, which had a strong resistance to genjutsu. In terms of taijutsu and ninjutsu, he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
As a result, he had a good chance of winning this battle.
Shisui, slowly ascending the stage, bowed to Hyuga Kyo and said, “Senior, I will do my best.”
“The match begins!”
The referee below announced the start.
As soon as the referee’s voice fell, both Hyuga Kyo and Shisui entered their battle stances.
Shisui was the first to make a move, launching over ten shurikens within two seconds.
Clang…
Clang…
Clang…
The shuriken collided in mid-air, altering their flight trajectories, spreading out like a wide net, aiming to envelop Hyuga Kyo.
Despite having seen Itachi’s shuriken skills before, Hyuga Kyo couldn’t help but feel a chill when witnessing Shisui’s shuriken throwing technique.
The angles and strength were impeccable. Even with the Tenseigan, Hyuga Kyo couldn’t see any flaws and could only counter by throwing his shuriken to create space for dodging.
Gathering his composure, Hyuga Kyo found his opportunity and launched eight shuriken.
Clang, clang, clang…
The sound of shuriken clashing filled the entire arena.
Watching the dazzling shuriken battle on stage, the Chunin in the audience held their breaths. Having advanced to this stage, they were all skilled with ninja tools and could appreciate the intensity of the battle.
Suddenly, Guy exclaimed, “Look, the shuriken blocked by Kyo are moving again!”
Asuma, with a serious expression, said, “It’s steel wire. Shisui has threaded those shuriken with specially treated steel wire, which is nearly invisible unless you look very closely.”
The exclamations from the audience didn’t affect Hyuga Kyo on stage.
Having anticipated the Uchiha’s formidable ninja tool techniques, he had been wary of Shisui’s secondary attacks. Thus, he had aimed at the steel wires while counterattacking.
However, the steel wires were exceptionally tough and non-reflective, making it difficult for even the Tenseigan to identify them all during high-speed movements.
Combined with Shisui’s skilled manipulation, Hyuga Kyo missed a few wires after some effort.
This mistake quickly put him at a disadvantage.
This was partly due to Hyuga Kyo’s lack of throwing technique and partly because he hadn’t prepared enough. After a short exchange, his ninja tool pouch was empty.
He assumed Shisui’s tools were also running low, but Shisui then took out a scroll, unrolled it, and pressed it lightly. Instantly, countless shuriken popped out from the smoke.
Linked by steel wires, these shuriken danced around Shisui as if they had minds of their own.
For a moment, Hyuga Kyo even thought Shisui was controlling the shuriken with his mind!
Seeing this scene, only one thought crossed his mind: “Ninja tools can be used like this!?”
Below the stage, Asuma shook his head and sighed, “Kyo is probably going to lose. Shisui is even more troublesome than I imagined.”
Guy, however, kept his eyes fixed on the stage and said without looking back, “Don’t worry, this is just a warm-up. Kyo hasn’t gotten serious yet.”
As Guy said, after realizing that relying solely on his dojutsu couldn’t compensate for the gap in their ninja tool skills, Hyuga Kyo decisively abandoned the shuriken exchange and charged at Shisui.
Taijutsu was Hyuga Kyo’s strong suit!
Seeing Hyuga Kyo’s aggressive approach, Shisui manipulated the steel wires with his fingers, as if playing a musical piece. In response, countless shuriken around him shot towards Hyuga Kyo.
“Rotation!”
After months of training, Hyuga Kyo had mastered the Rotation technique, able to use it anytime and anywhere at will.
Clang, clang, clang…
The sound of numerous shuriken hitting the Rotation was ear-piercing, and the deflected shuriken flew in all directions.
“Earth Style: Earth Wall!”
The quick-eyed Third Hokage immediately performed an Earth-style jutsu, raising four earth walls at the edges of the arena to block the shuriken deflected by the Rotation.
The watching Chunin retreated another ten meters.
Asuma wiped the sweat off his forehead and muttered, “These two…”
Guy seemed unconcerned and laughed, “Watching such an exciting match is worth the risk.”
On the stage.
Using the opportunity created by the Rotation, Hyuga Kyo finally closed in on Shisui. With his palms out, he charged like a fierce tiger, unstoppable!
Shisui showed no fear, drawing the short sword on his back, the three tomoe in his eyes spinning continuously.
In an instant, the two clashed, engaging in a fierce taijutsu battle.
After a while, one of the Chunin below said in surprise, “Their taijutsu… looks so strange!”
Many of the observing Chunin nodded in agreement.
The taijutsu battle between Hyuga Kyo and Shisui indeed looked strange. Their attacks frequently stopped midway, often retracting a palm strike or changing the direction of a sword slash abruptly.
They fought for a long time, but neither completed many attacks.
Most of the time was spent switching between initiating attacks, changing attacks, and forcibly retracting them. Because they were so fast, it looked bizarre to the onlookers.
Guy, well-versed in taijutsu, explained seriously, “This is prediction. They’re constantly predicting each other’s moves, which makes their battle look strange.”
Asuma said in disbelief, “Such frequent predictions and adjustments!? Their perceptive abilities are too exaggerated. Are they even human?”
Asuma seemed to voice the thoughts of everyone present, all of whom wondered, “Can dojutsu users really do whatever they want?”
The Third Hokage’s eyes flashed as he pondered silently.
An ANBU member beside him softly asked, “Hokage-sama, are they intentionally competing with their dojutsu?”
Nodding, the Third Hokage wanted to explain further, but at that moment, the two on stage suddenly separated, retreating to opposite corners…
