Chapter 70: Uchiha Shisui Vs Uchiha Hikari
Uchiha Hikari raised her left hand while charging forward, and a shuriken shot through the air.
That shuriken suddenly split in mid-air, turning into over a dozen shurikens, sealing off all of Shisui Uchiha’s escape routes.
“What?!” Seeing the characteristics of the Uchiha style in the opponent’s throwing technique with the shuriken, Shisui Uchiha didn’t dare to be careless and formed hand seals with both hands.
“Phantom Body Flicker Technique!”
In an instant, Shisui’s figure began to distort and blur, with several body flicker illusions appearing beside him.
These body flicker illusions swung the kunai in their hands to precisely block the incoming shurikens, then switched from defense to offense, charging straight at Uchiha Hikari.
“Clone Technique?” When she saw so many body flicker illusions catching the shurikens she threw, Uchiha Hikari initially thought it was some kind of ninjutsu like the Clone Technique.
But when she swung her kunai to clash with them, she discovered that these body flicker illusions had no physical form.
While Uchiha Hikari was puzzled about what ninjutsu this was, a sense of crisis came from behind her, and she lifted her leg for a backward kick.
She solidly kicked a body flicker illusion.
The physical sensation from her foot told Uchiha Hikari again that this was neither an illusion nor a clone.
“Uchiha Clan brat?” Glancing at the three-tomoe Sharingan spinning in the pupils of these body flicker illusions, Uchiha Hikari became interested.
Her black pupils suddenly changed sharply, and the three-tomoe Sharingan began spinning rapidly, instantly capturing these body flicker illusions.
At the same time, she saw through the technique of these body flicker illusions.
Uchiha Hikari flashed past the pincer attack of several body flicker illusions like a ghost, her figure suddenly blurring.
The next second, Uchiha Hikari appeared in front of a body flicker illusion not far away.
Under the opponent’s astonished gaze, a heavy kick ruthlessly struck its chest!
Boom!
From this strike, Shisui Uchiha’s chest caved in, and his entire body was sent flying several meters, crashing into a big tree.
“Cough cough—” Shisui Uchiha coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the surrounding afterimages dissipated accordingly.
“Why do you have…” Shisui struggled to prop himself up, looking at the black-haired girl opposite him with eyes full of shock. Under that flowing long hair, a pair of crimson Sharingan eyes coldly stared at him.
This girl, who seemed only a few years older than him, was actually from the Uchiha Clan!
And it was precisely this pair of three-tomoe Sharingan that saw through his proud body flicker technique!
“I thought it was some clone or illusion technique, but it turns out to be the Body Flicker Technique.” Uchiha Hikari raised her head and slowly approached the injured Shisui.
“Your Body Flicker Technique has been developed to the extreme. You can use illusions created by body flicker to perform physical attacks, yet turn into phantoms to evade when attacked. Your real body is also hidden among these body flicker illusions—real and fake mixed together, fake and real intertwined.”
Uchiha Hikari analyzed the secrets of Shisui’s body flicker.
This involuntarily made Shisui feel deep dread toward this Uchiha clansman he had never heard of before.
“Konoha jonin, Shisui Uchiha.” Shisui covered the spot on his chest where ribs were broken with one hand, gasping for breath as he questioned: “Are you also from the Uchiha Clan? Why have I never seen you before.”
Faced with Shisui’s question, the appreciative look on Uchiha Hikari’s face immediately collapsed.
“Tch, Uchiha brat, you can call me ‘Nameless’.” Uchiha Hikari looked down arrogantly at Shisui in front of her.
Whoosh—
Before the words finished, several wind blades suddenly attacked from behind her!
“Vacuum Sword!” Shirakumo Hayama, who had been lurking for a long time, launched a sudden assault, slashing several wind blades at the girl with his ninja sword.
Boom!
Just as Shirakumo Hayama thought the sneak attack had succeeded, the black-haired girl erupted with red-black flames all over her body. Like living things, they formed a wall of fire behind the girl, directly devouring all the incoming wind blades!
Seeing this, Shirakumo Hayama gritted his teeth and wanted to continue the attack.
“Konoha Style swordsmanship!” Shirakumo Hayama swung the ninja sword in his hand, charging at Uchiha Hikari from the rear flank.
At the same time, Hyuga Homura, who had been hiding in the forest, burst out from another direction. His Byakugan fully activated, he formed a palm strike and coordinated with Shirakumo Hayama for a pincer attack!
However, Shisui, seeing this dark red flame, was greatly alarmed and shouted to the two: “Get back!”
He didn’t even have time to shout their names, because the Uchiha Clan’s combat instinct told him that this red-black flame was extremely terrifying!
Shirakumo Hayama and Hyuga Homura also sensed something wrong. This black flame seemed somewhat eerie.
The two had just thought to retreat when they discovered that the black-haired girl protected by the fire wall had vanished.
“Oh no!” Hyuga Homura’s Byakugan widened in shock as a kunai was already right in front of him, heading straight for his face!
Hyuga Homura hurriedly turned his head aside, and the kunai grazed across his face, leaving a bloody mark.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Shirakumo Hayama was suddenly body flickered in front of by Uchiha Hikari, who grabbed his head and ruthlessly smashed it toward the ground.
Boom!
The ground was smashed into a big pit, with cracks spreading like a spider web around it, and the ninja sword rolling to the side.
Shirakumo Hayama also fell unconscious.
“Shisui! She is?” Hyuga Homura, who had escaped death, came to Shisui Uchiha’s side. Looking at that pair of Sharingan eyes that were all too familiar, he trembled as he asked.
“Ah… Without a doubt, she’s a bloodline of the Uchiha Clan scattered outside…” Shisui watched as the black-haired girl grabbed the unconscious Shirakumo Hayama with one hand and tossed him to the ground like trash.
Facing this powerful enemy, Hyuga Homura also felt an unprecedented crisis. As one of Konoha’s two great noble families, the Hyuga Clan had a very deep understanding of the Uchiha Clan.
Even during his time at the ninja academy and the Third Great Ninja War, Hyuga Homura had many classmates and comrades who were Uchiha, and he deeply knew this clan’s powerful combat power.
Therefore, after confirming the opponent was from the Uchiha Clan, Hyuga Homura tried his best not to look at the other’s eyes!
“Nameless!” Shisui Uchiha endured the pain of two broken ribs in his chest and shouted to the girl in front of him: “I don’t know how you ended up scattered outside, but our Uchiha Clan has already joined Konoha! You can come back! Go home!”
It had to be said that Shisui valued his feelings for the family and the village greatly. Even facing this unknown Uchiha clansman, he wanted to persuade her to return.
“Go home?” Uchiha Hikari seemed to have heard some cold joke and sneered contemptuously.
“I once regarded the Uchiha as my only home and support, but I was confined like a weapon. During my time in the Uchiha Clan, I never felt the so-called family affection.”
“The family abandoned me for so many years and never thought to look for me, but now they want to call me back…” Uchiha Hikari recalled the centuries spent sealed underground, enveloped in darkness!
No one came to find her; the Uchiha Clan acted as if she were already dead.
Until that figure appeared, rescuing her from the boundless darkness.
Having decided to stay with that boy forever, Uchiha Hikari now felt only hatred toward the Uchiha Clan!
“If that’s the case, then I’ll have to find a way to take you back!” Shisui’s three-tomoe Sharingan suddenly distorted, transforming into a Mangekyo pattern like a shuriken.
At this time, Shisui still thought that the Uchiha opposite him was just an ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan user.
