"What fools to dare meet my gaze!"
Shisui's cold, hoarse voice came from beneath his mask. Knowing he possessed the Sharingan, yet still daring to meet his eyes—were they confident in their strength, or simply foolish!
Thump, thump!
Uchiha ninjas who had only awakened one or two tomoe in their Sharingan began to fall one after another. Only those with three tomoe could barely resist Shisui's genjutsu, and this was Shisui fighting so many Uchiha alone.
If it were one-on-one, no one other than Fugaku, who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, could withstand Shisui's genjutsu!
And this was merely the genjutsu of his three-tomoe Sharingan! His pupil power hadn't been this strong originally, but a few days ago, Teacher Lin Yu had given him a wisp of something called "Yang power," and he felt his pupil power had greatly increased.
Moreover, it seemed he no longer had to worry about blindness from the Mangekyo!
The three-tomoe Sharingan in Fugaku's eyes twitched. Sweat dripped down his face as he gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you? With such powerful genjutsu, you couldn't possibly be an unknown among us Uchiha! Who exactly are you?!"
Shisui replied coldly, "Member of the Eternal Organization, codename: Phantom God!"
Phantom God! A god skilled in illusions?
Fugaku was utterly shocked. This codename was a hundred times more imposing than that "Hengzhu" or "Heaven-Shattering" he had heard of!
"You are also an Uchiha, so why are you attacking us?"
Fugaku looked at Shisui with fanaticism in his eyes. If he could win over this Uchiha codenamed Phantom God, then with Shisui and himself, Fugaku, their Uchiha rebellion might have a chance of success!
"A corrupt clan will only bring about its own destruction!"
Shisui resolved to teach the Uchiha clan a lesson. Without further ado, he quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Immortal Claw Red!"
Shisui leaped into the air, and multiple kunai wrapped in flames shot towards Fugaku and the others. The dazzling fire covered the kunai, also interfering with the enemy's vision.
But this wasn't too difficult for the Uchiha with their Sharingan to dodge. Fugaku grabbed two fallen clan members, agilely avoided the incoming flaming kunai, and said to the others, "You all take the genjutsu-affected clan members to safety first. I will hold him off!"
Shisui landed on a tree, letting them leave. After all, they were within the barrier, so they couldn't go far!
Fugaku's gaze was fixed on Shisui. Suddenly, he spoke, "You are Shisui, aren't you?"
Shisui did not respond at all. With a flash, he instantly appeared before Fugaku.
Clang!
A sharp metallic collision rang out. Shisui, holding a kunai, clashed with Fugaku's short sword. Their crimson three-tomoe Sharingan stared intently at each other.
Crack!
Shisui's expression changed. He forcefully swung the kunai he was holding, then leaped back. Looking at the kunai snapped in half, his gaze sharpened. What a good blade!
Shisui took out another kunai. This time, however, he was going to be serious. A wisp of flame covered the kunai and extended upwards, compensating for the kunai's short length.
"Uchiha Style: Sword Leap Flame!"
As expected, it was Uchiha-style swordplay!
The fire in Fugaku's eyes rapidly intensified. He decisively raised his short sword to block the flame-imbued kunai. Clang! The kunai, attached with Fire Style chakra, did not crack this time.
Shisui did not retreat after his attack was blocked. He turned, leaped up, and unleashed another attack with fire damage. Before Fugaku could catch his breath, a wind-natured chakra mixed within the flames made Fugaku's expression change!
Wind Style chakra too!
Bang! Clang!
Fugaku's hand gripping the short sword trembled. The attack, a mixture of fire and wind, almost made him drop the sword.
Bang!
Unable to block in time, Fugaku was kicked in the abdomen by Shisui, sending him tumbling backward. He managed to roll and steady himself upon landing, but Fugaku's face was grim.
In terms of swordsmanship, he was not an equal!
As a clan that specialized in ocular jutsu, almost all Uchiha who awakened the Sharingan were proficient in weapons and taijutsu. And Fugaku, as the clan head, was no exception in his weapon skills.
He just hadn't expected to lose, and not even last a few moves.
Shisui casually tossed aside the kunai that already had several nicks, saying coldly, "Is this the only level the Uchiha clan head possesses? As expected of a corrupt clan, how laughable!"
Veins bulged on Fugaku's face. He desperately wanted to activate his Mangekyo and beat this masked man severely, but he knew he couldn't!
He was the only one in the entire Uchiha clan who knew he had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. In order for the Uchiha to maintain the initiative in the future rebellion, he could not reveal his Mangekyo!
Damn it!
Just as Fugaku was wrestling with this dilemma, the departing Uchiha ninjas finally returned.
"Clan Head, we're here!"
"Attack together! Take down this traitor who betrayed the Uchiha!"
Several Uchiha ninjas in Konoha Garrison uniforms formed three columns. They were almost all elite Chunin and Jonin.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!"
Although these were three C-rank Fire Style ninjutsu, when wielded by the Uchiha, who excelled at Fire Style, their power was not inferior to B-rank. They illuminated the night red.
Shisui did not dare to be careless and immediately formed hand seals: "Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Three scarlet fire dragons, on the lower, middle, and upper paths, collided with the oncoming fireballs, phoenix fire, and dragon fire. A massive explosion instantly swept across the entire area. Waves of heat caused ninjas who were merely spectating to retreat dozens of steps.
Before the giant fire wave dissipated, a cold voice sounded in the ear of an Uchiha ninja.
"Uchiha Style: Gale Sword!"
*Squelch!* A splash of blood landed on Shisui's mask. His gaze flickered, but the next moment, it became resolute. I am doing this for the good of the clan. You radicals will only hasten the Uchiha's demise!
Seeing the clan member fall beside him, Uchiha Yondaime exchanged another glance with Shisui's cold three-tomoe Sharingan. He immediately panicked and said in fear, "He, he actually killed a fellow clan member! I, I won't fight anymore, my hands are shaking! I need to go find Yuji!"
Uchiha Yondaime dropped his kunai and bolted towards the edge of the barrier. He had been scared witless by Shisui and needed someone to comfort him!
Fugaku looked at the clan member lying in a pool of blood, his face extremely grim. He hadn't expected the opponent to actually dare kill a fellow clan member. Did this person truly harbor such great hatred for the Uchiha?
And at this moment, an icy voice echoed throughout the entire area!
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
A gigantic, golden-yellow beam of light sword slashed through the sky. The Four Violet Flames Formation that had surrounded everyone was torn apart like paper. The golden light did not diminish, plowing through the ground for tens of kilometers, just grazing the gates of Konoha. The two gatekeepers were so scared they clutched their crotches!
Kamizuki Izumo and Kotetsu embraced each other, exchanging a glance: Is guarding the gate this dangerous? Should we change professions!
