"I, Shisui, fight..." Even after the referee announced the result, Uchiha Inabi was still a bit bewildered.
This battle was too sudden for him.
"Inabi, I'm sorry, this time I must use all my strength." Shisui silently apologized to Uchiha Inabi in his heart.
Under normal circumstances, even with strangers, Shisui would not let them lose too badly and would usually hold back a bit.
But this time was different, this time Shisui wanted to show all the Uchiha that he, Uchiha Shisui, was strong, stronger than many Uchiha Jonin!
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes flickered; he didn't expect Shisui to give him such a small surprise.
Even the strength Shisui had shown before was actually enough to defeat all the Uchiha and obtain first place in the Tournament.
"Elder Seisei, it seems Shisui is most likely to be the first in the Tournament. The young ones nowadays are really outstanding. If it were up to me to guide them, I'd feel quite pressured," the dovish elder said with a cheerful smile.
The choice of guides is not decided by the elders themselves, but by drawing lots before the official start of the Tournament. There are two groups of one-four and two-three, and under Uchiha Fugaku's covert operations, Uchiha Seisei ended up being responsible for the first and fourth.
Originally, guiding the first was a good thing, as it might leave a deep impression on outstanding juniors, but if the first is too strong, it's not necessarily good—it becomes hard to guide when the strength disparity is not significant.
"Shisui is indeed excellent." Even if he doesn't particularly like Shisui, Uchiha Seisei had to admit that Shisui is among the outstanding talents in Uchiha history.
"However, with my years of cultivation experience, I should still be able to offer him some assistance," Uchiha Seisei said calmly.
He also possesses a Three Tomoe Sharingan, and has been honing it for over ten years. The Genjutsu that allowed Shisui to instantly defeat Uchiha Inabi's Sharingan would be useless against him.
He didn't believe that he could lose to an eight-year-old Shisui after decades of a ninja career. If he won, he could use some rational excuse as a good teaching moment.
As time continued to pass, one after another Uchiha ninja was eliminated, and the Tournament continued to advance.
In the process, Shisui demonstrated terrifying dominance; no matter who the opponent was, Shisui just opened his Three Tomoe Sharingan and used Genjutsu to instantly defeat them.
Some Uchiha ninja tried to lower their heads or close their eyes to fight Shisui, but without special training, this would severely affect their combat abilities, leading to an inevitable defeat at Shisui's hands.
"Tournament Final: Uchiha Shisui vs. Uchiha Yakumi."
Uchiha Yakumi took a deep breath and walked towards the battlefield. He was already convinced in his heart that he was not Shisui's match and just wanted to lose with less disgrace.
Shisui calmly walked to face Uchiha Yakumi. For Shisui, the contestants in the Tournament were just a warm-up; his goal to defeat had always been only one, which was Elder Uchiha Seisei.
"Begin the battle!"
As soon as the referee gave the signal, Uchiha Yakumi instantly activated his Two-Tomoe Sharingan.
Facing Shisui, Uchiha Yakumi dared not be complacent; if he didn't activate the Sharingan immediately, he feared he would fall under Shisui's Genjutsu like those Chunin.
But something unexpected happened to Uchiha Yakumi.
Just like in the previous battles, Shisui activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan and looked at Uchiha Yakumi, while Uchiha Yakumi also looked at Shisui, and the two pairs of Sharingan met.
An endless blood-red appeared before Uchiha Yakumi's eyes.
"You lost."
When Uchiha Yakumi snapped out of it, Shisui somehow stood beside him, holding a Kunai to his neck.
"How is this possible!" Uchiha Yakumi was deeply shocked.
He was no Genin or Chunin, but an Uchiha Jonin with a Double Tomoe Sharingan. How could Shisui defeat him with just a look?
The whole scene fell silent again; everyone was shocked and looked towards Shisui.
"Shisui has already reached such a realm, even Elder Brother Yakumi, a Jonin, is no match for him," Uchiha Inabi was greatly shaken.
The impact of this was tremendous for him; with just a glance, Shisui had unexpectedly defeated Uchiha Yakumi, who was also a Jonin.
If this had been a real battle, Uchiha Yakumi would have already died at Shisui's hands.
"Something's not right; his Genjutsu, his eye power shouldn't be this strong," Uchiha Seisei was perplexed.
It's one thing to instantly defeat a Chunin, but instantly defeating a Sharingan Jonin was too exaggerated, something Uchiha Seisei hadn't achieved even after decades of cultivation.
If it were a regular Jonin from another clan without a Sharingan, it might be possible, but the Uchiha Clan with activated Sharingan had a strong ability to counter Genjutsu.
"With Genjutsu and Fire Release like this, Shisui appears to be stronger than Obito," Uchiha Fugaku was secretly alarmed. He thought he wouldn't be surprised by Shisui anymore after that day, but Shisui never failed to surprise him anew.
"Thanks to Teacher Mokgetsu's ninja tools." Shisui calmly observed the expressions of the Uchiha ninjas and nodded in satisfaction.
His current level of Genjutsu was indeed not enough to instantly defeat an Uchiha Jonin with Sharingan, but Shisui had the ninja tools given by Mokgetsu.
Shisui cleverly used the Tournament battle mechanism, continuously injecting Chakra into a bent spoon to enhance Yin Release during rest, and then refining Chakra to restore his state.
Before the finals, Shisui had injected most of the Chakra in his body into the bent spoon, creating the terrifying effect of instantly defeating an Uchiha Jonin with a single glance.
