Even with such a brief introduction, the Uchiha ninjas present still displayed extraordinary enthusiasm, all exuding a strong fighting spirit.
The shortest and youngest, Shisui, received the most attention.
No one dared to underestimate Shisui, regarding him as the strongest opponent, because Shisui is not only one of the few Jonin among the participants but also has a record of fighting face-to-face with the Seven-Swords Ninja.
"As long as I can defeat Shisui, I will be number one in the martial tournament, and the others definitely won't be my match," Uchiha Yakumi thought as he glanced around.
Although there are quite a few Jonin in the Uchiha clan, a significant portion of them are ninjas of the same era as the high-ranking ones. Even if not as strong as the high-ranks, they wouldn't participate in the tournament to be judged by their former peers.
So actually there are very few Jonin participating in the tournament, only three in total, and most of them are Chunin, with few Genin.
Another Uchiha Jonin whom Uchiha Yakumi knows, Uchiha Yakumi had defeated him before, so Uchiha Yakumi considered Shisui his only opponent.
After quickly completing the drawing lots segment, the tournament immediately began.
"Number one, Uchiha Shisui against Uchiha Inabi!" the referee shouted after glancing at the battle order.
Upon hearing the opponent's name, Uchiha Inabi showed a hint of regret. His anticipated goal was to win against two people, but unexpectedly, he encountered Shisui in the first round.
Shisui was an enemy he could never hope to defeat, the gap between them was too wide.
"Inabi, what a pity, to meet one of the only three Jonin in the first round," a familiar Uchiha ninja nearby said, feeling sorry for him.
With Uchiha Inabi's strength, if he didn't face one of the three Jonin, he could basically win against most others.
"Shisui, let me experience the true strength of a Uchiha genius once more," Uchiha Inabi said with a smile.
His thought was simple; since he encountered him, it was the chance to test the results of his hard work during this time.
Shisui nodded slightly in response, determined to win his way to have a say in the future.
"Battle start!" the referee shouted.
Shisui focused his Chakra in his eyes, and the dense blood-red color manifested, with three tomoe appearing in his eyes.
He then infused some Chakra into a spoon to enhance Yin Release and finally glanced at Uchiha Inabi.
An endless blood-red filled Uchiha Inabi's vision and expanded continuously, and then he lost consciousness.
Thud!
When Uchiha Inabi came to his senses, he was already lying on the ground, with Shisui standing beside him holding a Kunai.
——Silence
The scene was completely silent. Whether it was the battle area or the high-ranking spectators and other tournament participants, everything was incredibly quiet, even the faint sound of the wind on the grass was distinct.
Everyone agreed that Uchiha Inabi couldn't defeat Shisui, and no one thought he could win against him.
But no one expected Shisui to defeat the somewhat famous Chunin, Uchiha Inabi, with just a single glance.
"Isn't Shisui known for Fire Release and Instant Body Jutsu? How is his Genjutsu so strong?" Some Uchiha were incredulous.
Many of them had seen Shisui's Chunin Examination, where he basically used Fire Release to crush opponents all the way through, and his nickname on the battlefield was Shisui of the Body Flicker, seemingly unrelated to Genjutsu.
"This guy is just too abnormal," Uchiha Yakumi broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that he had little chance of becoming number one this time.
He also had the Sharingan but only with two tomoe, completely unable to instantly defeat Uchiha Inabi as Shisui did.
"Uchiha Shisui wins!" the referee, coming back to his senses, immediately announced Shisui's victory.
