âIâll try not to disappoint you Kuroto-san!â
As the voice resounded through the stadium, all the figures of Shisui in the arena moved. They all rushed towards Kuroto.
âWhâwhat happened?â
âYouâve got to be kidding!â
âI canât see whatâs happening there!â
The audience in the stands was stunned, they were unable to understand what was happening in the fighting arena.
Konoha Villagers have had the chance to witness many fights over the years, however, this is the first time they are watching a battle where their eyes are unable to keep up.
Let alone ordinary villagers and the Genins, the eyes of most of the Chunin were unable to keep up with Shisuiâs speed either.
Everyone has heard of âShisui of the Body Flickerâ, but only now they have come to personally realize what the title means.
And before they could react, sound ear piercing sounds echoed on the battlefield causing everyone to painfully cover their ears, âAaaah! Itâs so loud!â
Shisui was moving faster than the speed of sound, so each of his movements was causing a sonic boom.

VIP Stands
Daimyo covered his face with his folding fan, and spoke in discomfort, âI suppose this is to be expected from a shinobi competing to become Godaime Hokage.â
Hiruzen sighed and did not entertain Daimyo.
The scene at the arena is beyond his expectations. His entire brain was busy devising countermeasures to the Situation in which Shisui wins this match, âIt seems the initial preparation was not useless⊠we might have to rely on that.â

Contestant Waiting Area
Jiraiya patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and said, âIt would be better if you mentally prepare yourself to face Shisui.â
Kakashi nodded with a solemn expression, âHmm.â
The speed displayed by Shisui has greatly exceeded even Kakashiâs expectations. He has known Shisui from their time in the Anbu, but Kakashi never thought that Shisui would become so fast. At this moment, even Kakashi dared not claim to be faster than Shisui despite having masterly Flying Raijin.
In the corner, Tsunade-hime prayed while looking at the battlefield with a worried expression, âHyuga Kuroto⊠you must preserve⊠at least until Shizune gets the money back!â

On the side of the Hyuga Clan
The moment the first sonic boom echoed in the arena, Hiashi subconsciously activated his Byakugan and looked at the fighting arena. Even he was surprised to find that he was unable to completely keep up with Shisuiâs figure.
Sitting beside Hiashi, Elder Sada murmured with a relieved breath, âHiashi⊠fortunately you did not nominate yourself⊠otherwise⊠I really canât imagineâŠâ
Hiashi nodded.
Normally he should have been embarrassed or angry that his strength was being questioned, however, that did not happen, rather he was relieved.
In his opinion, the words of Elder Sada are not mockery. Heâhimselfâdoesnât think that he has the ability to fight back such an opponent. He doesnât think that Kuroto has any chance either.
Rather than embarrassing oneself and the clan, it is better to watch the battle from the sidelines and allow things to hapâ?!
Clang!
His train of thought was suddenly interrupted as his ears picked up the sound of the collision of iron and iron. This sound wasnât very loud, and if not for having the sense of an elite Jonin, Hiashi might have missed it!
Taken aback, he focused his gaze on the arena and soon his face couldnât hide his surprise as he saw the cause of such a sound. The expected scene of Kuroto being knocked unconscious by Shisui did not occur, rather, a sharp metallic collision echoed through the stadium.
The first metallic collision was soon followed by the second⊠then the third⊠then the fourth and soon an iron symphony was played from the arena.
It was the sound produced by the collision of Kuroto and Shisuiâs weapons.
Hiashi couldnât believe what he was seeing, countless afterimages of Shisui were attacking Kuroto from all directions at sonic speed, however, Kuroto was elegantly defending against all of them with precise and sharp movements.
No matter how many Shisui attacked Kuroto, they couldnât get past his defense.
Seeing such a scene, Hiashiâs expression became solemn.
Before he could get used to this scene, the situation in the fighting arena changed.
Having defended against Shisuiâs onslaught for a while, Kuroto decided to make his move. Immediately, he disappeared from where he stoodâuntil a while agoâand shuttled across the arena while leaving behind a trail of afterimages.
Now Kuroto was on the offense and Shisui had to defend.

In the Audience
Sasukeâwith his Sharingan activatedâkept looking left-right, and up-down as he shouted with a frustrated expression, âDamn it⊠I canât keep up at all!â
Of course, he knew that there was a vast difference between his strength and the strength of the two people fighting in the arena, only now he has come to realize that the difference is this big.
If he canât keep up with their movements even with his Sharingan, how will he react against them if he were to face any of them?
Neji was no different from Sasuke and looked at the arena in shock.
He has always been proud of his strength and speed. But seeing the strength of his Sensei and the former Vice-Principal, he realized that all this time, he was a frog sitting at the bottom of a well. With his strength and speed, let alone fight someone like Kuroto and Shisui, he canât even be a bystander in their fight. He would end up dying and not even understand how he died.
Different from the frustrated Sasuke and shocked Neji, Naruto was awed, âAmazing!â
He stared at the ongoing confrontation in a daze, âWill I have to surpass them if I want to become the greatest Hokage?â
Looking at the reactions of the three kids, Shinichi smirked, âHeh.â Internally, he couldnât help but think, âEveryone is this shocked already⊠I wonder what will happen if they learn that these two are not even half-serious.â
âŠ
On the other side
Rock Leeâs eyes were sparkling in awe and fascination as he looked at the field. He couldnât help but exclaim in excitement, âSo⊠so strong! Kuroto-Sensei and Shisui-Sensei are so strong!â
The source of this cđžntent is freewebnĂžvel.coɱ.
âHeh⊠let me tell you a secret Lee.â Said Guy with a smirk.
âWhat secret?â asked Lee, looking at Guy.
âThey havenât used their full strength! Both of them are much much stronger!â answered Guy with a smile.
Unlike most of the audience, Guy had no problem keeping up with Shisui and Kuroto. He has long adapted to such high-speed and high-intensity battles. Therefore, he was able to see that neither Kuroto nor Shisui had used their full strength yet.
Lee was taken aback, and he asked in excitement, âGuy-Sensei! Can shinobi become this strong with just physical skills?â
Sitting beside Rock Lee, Guy flashed a bright smile as he answered, âOf course! Anyone can become strong so long as they work hard!â
Leeâs eyes brightened, and he asked, âGuy Sensei⊠can I also become strong?â
Guy showed his âNice Guyâ pose and nodded, âOf course⊠the two of them have worked hard to have such strength⊠if you wish to become strong like them⊠then you must also work hard, and you must believe in yourself! This is what the youth is all about!â
âŠ
âShisui⊠why donât we take this up a notch?!â said Kuroto as the blade of his sword clashed with Shisuiâs sword.
Shisui nodded, âHmm.â lightning started to flash around him and Shisuiâs speed once again increased.
Shisui was using lightning to increase his action speed and reaction speed.
Noting the flashes of lightning, Kurotoâs smile widened, âThatâs what I am talking aboutâ Immediately, chakra burst out of his body like a raging flame, as his speed and strength increased.
Kuroto was using the Eight Inner Gates to increase his strength and speed.
As soon as the two candidates increased the intensity of their battle, the stadium was in an uproar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Loud explosions rang as the ground and walls started to crack.
In the stans, the audience screamed in excitement and panic. The battle between Shisui and Kuroto was affecting the environment around them. And the stadium was the first to suffer.
Within a short few moments, the pillars supporting the stands started to crack and collapse, causing the audience to panic.
The shinobi responsible for maintaining the order protected the civilians. But the damage to the stadium was continuously increasing, causing the captain to shout in anger, âWhere is the Sealing Division? Whatâs taking them so long? Tell them to hurry up or the entire stadium will collapse!â
âFuinjutsu: Four-Purple Flame Formation!â
